ROOT 73 is a professional recording studio and community arts organisation based in Hackney, East London.
ROOT 73 is split into two halves — our commercial activities and our community work. We offer a range of professional audio / visual services to help fund our work within the local community.
We facilitate, produce, and promote cross-medium creative projects, driven by a sense of community and by a desire to collaborate. We build strong relationships with the artists we work with, to the point that they become family.
We are not a collective or a charity but we do work towards the common goal of becoming self-sufficient and able to earn from our talents.
We work for free if the artist is interested in becoming a part of our community. We charge a fee for our services if not. All revenue goes back into the organisation as a whole.

It didn't stop us from exploring locations and backdrops around Bryne. Lene and Alexander chose by far the most popular date to get married in 2016. Luckily they booked me before last summer because I have had to say no to many other couples who contacted me after. Book your photographer early guys! Can't wait to the wedding though :D

YOUR CREATIVITY MATTERS (Part 1)
A stack of all new pieces ready to go to the show in SLO.
" What you should be confident about is that you are a legitimate human being with the right to be and the power to create"
~ Eric Maisel
Have you ever told yourself, "MY CREATIVITY MATTERS".
Did you believe it? Would you believe it more if someone else told you that your creativity matters?
It does, you know. No matter who you are. It does not matter whether you are an active professional, a self identified artist or a creatively inspired person.
It is important for you to realize and accept this. If you don't, it can make any meaningful thing you create seem less than. It can make you feel less than. Creating something new, unique, beautiful, powerful, spiritual, thought provoking, dramatic, shocking or even decorative is hard enough without not believing in yourself and your ability to generate ideas and create them.
Your creativity has to matter to you before it matters to others (viewers, critics, gallery owners, buyers, friends, family). Why should your art matter more to others than it matters to you? You have to care deeply about what you are creating before others will care about it.
I am not talking about individual paintings that you create. I am not saying that you have to love everything that you make. I am not saying that you can't feel frustrated, angry, timid, disappointed, stuck, confused, indecisive, reluctant or just plain uninspired from time to time. You can even hate what you are currently creating.
What I am talking about is a much bigger picture. I am talking about being committed no matter what. Showing up in your studio on a regular basis and staying put until you have given it your all, no matter what.
I am talking about having the conviction to create the kind of art that deep down you feel compelled to create and doing what you know you are supposed to do. You are meant to create work that is meaningful to you in some way - regardless.
Intention, courage, passion and clarity of purpose are a few of the things required in order to be able to create meaningful work. Choosing ideas, subjects and/or projects that are personally meaningful to you are essentlal. Perseverance, discipline, persistence and resilience are also helpful.
Fear, lack of focus, self-doubt, lack of confidence, indecision, reluctance and being non- committal can certainly get in the way if you let them. The key is to not let them. Choose to not let them. Take charge of your creativity. Choose creativity.
The key to meaningful creativity involves clarifying your goals, making a plan, committing to the plan fully and starting to act on it with all of your heart and mind. Right now!
For me, action is a cure-all. Action quiets fear (among other things). Getting out into the studio and working hard is the elixir. Most of the time when we are struggling with fear, self-doubt, lack of focus, indecision, lack of confidence, reluctance or being non-committal, we do the opposite. We do not go into the studio to work. We shy away from working at all costs. We cannot get far enough away from our paintings. Instead, I urge you to get out into that studio and paint. Face those fears, etc. If you will just allow yourself to show up and begin painting, even if you don't feel like it, and paint for at least 30 minutes, you will find that most of the time, you become totally into it, excited and thankful for the opportunity. All of a sudden, 4 hours have gone by.
Works for me, every time. And the more that you are able to get out in the studio - the more that you are able to show up - especially when you are not feeling it - the more and more confidence you will gain, which in turn, will allow you to begin to realize and believe that your creativity matters.
Try to spend less and less time being fearful, self-critical, and doubtful, indecisive and distracted, and, instead, spend more and more time creating.
I feel so strongly about this, which is why I named my new program:
YOUR CREATIVITY MATTERS Private, in-studio, one-on-one critiques, insights and guidance for visual artists.
My goal in this program is to help you create the kind of art that you want to make and are destined to make. I help artists seek practices that will enhance their creative development. My ultimate goal is to motivate artists towards inspired action.
More and more artists each week are taking advantage of this unique opportunity and they are loving the results.
Next time, I will talk about the kinds of questions, discussions and feedback that have been going on in some of the YOUR CREATIVITY MATTERS sessions. In the meantime, find out for yourself what this personalized program has to offer you by heading over here to check it out.
Best, David

Seniors Needing Specialized Care Call for Home Health Care in Chevy Chase
There are millions of Americans selflessly caring for an elderly parent or grandparent. This is typically an all-out effort to prevent their loved one from having to live in a nursing home. It requires a great deal of sacrifice, but it's done gladly.
Caregivers Deserve and Need Help
Caregiving isn't usually a puppies and butterflies experience. It's tiring, can be hard physically, and is often draining emotionally. This is particularly true when dementia is part of the picture. There are often other health issues involved with an elderly person, but dementia is gut-wrenching. Seeing the person that raised you gradually erased is painful.
Professional care can make a huge difference in relieving the strain. Assistance from someone with experience in dealing with these issues is very helpful. It's also useful to learn about tips and techniques for better care and to have another perspective on improving the situation.
Caretakers also need to be able to care for themselves and the rest of the family. Passing on care to a health care professional for a couple hours or a badly-needed vacation is a necessity, not a luxury. Assistance from Home Health Care in Chevy Chase is a gift of time.
Adjust Home Health Care to Changing Requirements
One of the best benefits of home health care is being able to adjust the care provided to changing needs. Elderly people tend to become ill suddenly and take longer to recover. Sometimes a nurse would be needed for specialized care. Other times help with bathing and grooming would be sufficient. The type of care needed can change very quickly.
Specialized care services are invaluable. When the right care is available to deal with the medical issues, being cared for at home is much better for the patient. After someone has been hospitalized, having a home health care pro come in to provide essential care at home is a blessing.
Dementia patients, in particular, don't deal well with changes. A move to a nursing home could be very upsetting and result in declining health.
Specialty Care Services isn't just another provider of home health care in Chevy Chase. They provide personal care services and geriatric care management, but it's their specialty care services that distinguish them from other home care agencies. They can meet the needs of seniors with dementia, a particular medical diagnosis, or both. Click here to learn more.

Remember (To Go To) The Alamo . . .

We only include links to products, services, and companies we have used and have had positive experiences with. Thanks for following our journey!
As we've mentioned in prior posts, part of the appeal of Port Lavaca for us was its proximity to several Texas cities which we could explore. Next up on the list to visit, San Antonio. Yep, home of the Alamo and the Riverwalk. That's pretty much all we knew about the city before our visit. Oh, did we have a lot to learn!
While we were in the process of planning our trip, our full-time RV friends (and my sister and brother-in-law!) Annette and Mike had mentioned they would also like to take in the sights of the Alamo City. Annette and Mike are staying in Mission, TX for the winter so their four hour drive would be a little longer than our drive, but it would definitely work to meet them in 'ol San Antone. Betsy put her famous search skills to work and located a cute, and fairly inexpensive, Airbnb for us in the city. The rental was the third floor of a beautiful home on the north side of San Antonio, across the street from San Pedro Springs Park. (More on the park later.) So we were all set, two nights booked, let the sightseeing begin. Consider this trip a bucket list checker, as this would be our first Airbnb rental which would include a visit to the Alamo and walk along the San Antonio River Walk. We had always wanted to do the Airbnb thing, but the opportunity never presented itself. Unfortunately we didn't know about the friend's referral program prior to signing up for an Airbnb account which could have saved us 4 Hamiltons or 2 Jacksons also known as $40. So if you don't have an Airbnb account yet, we would love to offer you our referral link. Friends don't let friends miss a discount! You save $40 and I believe we may get some travel credits too. BONUS! We would most definitely love that. If you book a trip you love, let us know about it as nothing beats a great getaway.
Betsy and I were up bright and early on Monday to finish some last minute packing before heading out for our little adventure. The weather was pleasant and the company good, so the two and a half hour drive went by quickly. As we've experienced several times during our stay already, driving between Texas cities is fairly easy. Lots of farmland and cattle ranches, 75 mph speed limits, and everything seems to be 2 - 3 hours apart. We rolled into the San Antonio area shortly after noon, so our initial concern was lunch. During the drive Betsy had already jumped on the topic and had discovered a couple of gluten-free places worth investigating. Unfortunately they were either closed or not convenient to where we were headed in the city. With a last minute decision (and a free entree coupon!), we ended up at one of our favorite "chain" restaurants, P.F. Chang's. Not only is the food tasty, but they have a plentiful gluten-free menu, and understand the need to isolate the gluten-free food while cooking and preparing the meals. A perfect fit for us, and a good choice for lunch.
After lunch we were still a little too early to check into our rental, so we parked by the house and walked across the street to San Pedro Springs Park. The 46-acre park is the oldest in the State of Texas, the second oldest in the country only behind Boston Commons, and has a history dating back hundreds of years. Today, the park serves the same purpose as many parks in America's cities, a green oasis which provides residents of a city a place to walk, sit, eat, and enjoy a little green space. We crossed the street and strolled through the park towards its main attraction, the San Pedro Springs Pool. The pool was built on the site of the original lake bed and spring, and is one of the largest pools I have ever seen. The day we were there, the pool was being prepped for the summer and did not have any water within its walls. But even without water it was still an impressive sight. Without any water swimming was out of the question (well, that and the fact we didn't bring our swimmies!), so we found a bench under a shade tree and settled in for some reading. We both had library books to finish before they needed to be returned.
A short time later our roommates for the next two nights arrived just in time for us to check in. Well, there really wasn't much of the traditional "check in". After booking through Airbnb Betsy had received instructions on how to get into the house (key pad on the door) and she was reminded several times that the unit was on the third floor . . . without an elevator! Hey, we can all use a little exercise, right? Actually, it wasn't really that bad, even carrying suitcases and some food. Annette and Mike? You can comment if you feel differently! The unit was exactly as advertised in the pictures in the ad. It was pretty much the attic / third floor of a southern, antebellum-looking house. It had a small, but full kitchen, a full bath, a living area with television and small futon. The two queen-size beds were sort of hidden in what appeared to be old closets in the dormers. This layout allowed a little privacy for an open floor plan apartment. We settled in and finalized our plans for the evening, which was to visit with a long time friend of Annette and Mike's daughter, Nicole. Stacey, and her husband Rocky, live in the suburbs of San Antonio along with their three sons. Yes, their lives are busy! We enjoyed a nice visit and some Texas BBQ with Stacey and her family. Sleep came quickly upon our return to our third floor retreat.
On Tuesday morning everyone was up and ready to get out and explore. (Well, truth be told, Betsy would have preferred some more sleepy time!) We utilized the small galley kitchen that was available to us in our apartment and cooked up a full breakfast of eggs w/ ham, bacon, cinnamon coffee cake (GF, of course, thanks for Betsy!) and beverages. Now we were ready for some sightseeing. We made the short drive downtown and decided to start with one of the most well-known attractions in San Antonio, The Alamo. The Alamo Mission in San Antonio is commonly called The Alamo and was originally known as Misión San Antonio de Valero. It was founded in the 18th century as a Roman Catholic mission and fortress compound, and today is part of the San Antonio Missions World Heritage Site in San Antonio. It was the site of the Battle of the Alamo in 1836, and is now a museum in the Alamo Plaza Historic District.
The compound was one of the early Spanish missions in Texas, built for the education of area American Indians after their conversion to Christianity. The mission was secularized in 1793 and then abandoned. Ten years later, it became a fortress housing the Second Flying Company of San Carlos de Parras military unit, who likely gave the mission the name Alamo. A relatively small number of Texian soldiers then occupied the compound for several months. They were wiped out at the Battle of the Alamo on March 6, 1836. The Battle of the Alamo (February 23 – March 6, 1836) was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution. Following a 13-day siege, Mexican troops under President General Antonio López de Santa Anna launched an assault on the Alamo Mission near San Antonio de Béxar (modern-day San Antonio, Texas, United States), killing all of the Texian defenders. Santa Anna's cruelty during the battle inspired many Texians—both Texas settlers and adventurers from the United States—to join the Texian Army. Buoyed by a desire for revenge, the Texians defeated the Mexican Army at the Battle of San Jacinto, on April 21, 1836, ending the revolution.
We spent quite a bit of the morning walking around the Alamo complex, reading, learning and understanding what had occurred on the site. We've obviously heard the saying, "Remember the Alamo", and now we all probably appreciate a little bit more what the story is behind that saying. After our history lesson, it was time for lunch. Sounds kinda like school, right? History lesson, then lunch! Well, this was a little better since lunch wasn't in a school cafeteria, but rather at a Mexican restaurant on the scenic San Antonio Riverwalk. Yes, after our Alamo visit we wandered over to the Riverwalk, which is a city park and network of walkways along the banks of the San Antonio River, one story beneath the streets of San Antonio. Lined by bars, shops, restaurants, nature, public artwork, and the five historic missions, the River Walk is 15 miles in length and an important part of the city's urban fabric.
Our planned afternoon activity was a bus tour of the city on an open-topped double decker bus. Betsy had snagged a Groupon (She adores a good deal!) for $8/person for the bus tour, so we decided to get to know the city via a guided tour by the Alamo Double Decker Bus Company. Betsy and I have found that if we only have a day or two to explore a city, these types of bus/trolley tours are a great way to learn the layout of the city and get a lot of general information about its attractions. Many of them are also hop on - hop off style, so you can do some additional exploring if something piques your interest. To make it even more exciting, this was Annette's first time on a topless double decker bus. No, not that kind of topless, all of our clothes stayed on but the bus was topless! We chose not to hop on or off the bus during the tour so the loop ended up being about an hour long. Again, a nice way to get around and see the city and enough to entice Betsy and I to come back and see some more.
After all of our sightseeing it was back to our little home away from home. We relaxed a little and took advantage of the large covered second floor porch that overlooked San Pedro Springs Park. Nice shade, a cool breeze and a good book, just what the doctor ordered. Dinner was made in-house by once again using our kitchen facilities. A tasty pasta dinner was just what the doctor ordered.
Wednesday morning's breakfast looked a lot like Tuesday's, and was just as delicious. After breakfast, we packed up our things and carried them back to the cars, down our three flights of steps. Going down was better, right Annette and Mike? We said our good-byes with hugs and we all agreed our visit to San Antonio was well worth the time and effort and Betsy and I agreed that another visit to San Antonio was definitely in our future during our time in Texas.

I just finished reading Debra Dean's new book, Hidden Tapestry: Jan Yoors, his two wives, and the war that made them one. I really enjoyed this book. It is well written and the story is far-ranging. It is a biography of Jan Yoor, an artist from Belgium who spent much of his youth with the gypsies and was part of the resistance during World War II. He survived the war, married his childhood sweetheart Annabert, and eventually added her friend Marianne as a second wife to their family. The Yoors moved to America eventually and ran a tapestry studio in Manhattan. Jan designed the work and the women wove it.
Debra Dean deals deftly with stories ranging from childhood adventures to imprisonment during WWII to the family's struggle to remain cohesive and stay financially solvent. From the press release for the book:
Jan Yoors' website (http://janyoors.com/tapestry/) is well worth spending some time on. There are some amazing photos of his work and studios as well as links to his writings.
There is much of interest in this book for contemporary tapestry weavers. The descriptions of the weaving are scarce, but pair your reading with a visit to the website and the story comes together brilliantly. As I read, I could imagine the family working hard to complete these monumental tapestries. Often money was scarce, commissions fell through, or pieces had to be done with inhuman speed.
His wife Marianne and son Kore are still living in the studio in Manhattan to my knowledge. Ask a few New York tapestry weavers and you might find someone who knows them.
Bottom line: read this book. I loved it and I will definitely be spending more time learning about Jan Yoors with special interest in his wives and weavers, Marianne and Annabert.
Attention all Colorado weavers! Debra Dean will be giving a reading and book signing. She'll be at the Book Bar at 4280 Tennyson Street in Denver June 8th at 7 pm. See the promotion below for details. I hope to see you there!
Have you read this book or the books Jan Yoors wrote? Any other experience with this artist? Tell us what you think in the comments.

The London Whale
As the world clamps down on fossil fuels and CO2 emissions, many parts of England are rallying to help fight the cause to save our planet.
Recently, a giant 33ft whale made entirely out of plastic has been touring parts of the UK, in an attempt to raise awareness of our planet's ocean health. In a recent survey, two thirds of people would be willing to see charges similar to the 5p plastic bag rule. Additionally, 87% of people were disheartened and concerned by the UK's use of plastic goods, according to FlyResearch .
The results of the survey were manifested in the shape of a massive 33ft long plastic whale.
Unveiling the Whale
Sir Ranulph Fiennes (a renowned explorer) and Jodie Kidd (a professional model) revealed the plastic whale in London. As mentioned previously, the whale is made out of the plastic pollutants that litter our ocean. More specifically, the whale was made out of the amount of plastic that litters the ocean every second.
The Plastic Whale's UK Tour
The whale is set to go on tour around the whole of the UK, hitting major cities to raise awareness. The tour aims to educate members of the public on simple, efficient ways to tackle pollution. From using refillable plastic bottles, to abstaining from plastic straws and plastic bags, these simple tips could severely improve our planet's plastic waste issues. Sir Ranulph stated that "I've explored some of the most remote and vast points of the world and yet still witnessed the reach of ocean pollution."
Sir Ranulph spoke briefly about his experiences in tackling water pollution:
"Between 1979 and 1982 my team completed the first surface circumpolar navigation of Earth and during both the Atlantic and the Pacific voyages we witnessed the amount of pollution, much of which was plastic and that was just on the surface.
"It is vital that we all take action to protect our oceans and we must act now before the scale of this problem heightens further."
Sky Ocean Rescue is the campaign behind the movement. Thanks to them, the whale will be hitting coastal spots such as Cardiff, Blackpool and Edinburgh's Ocean Terminal.
Sandy Luk is the chief executive of the campaign, and she stated in an interview that their research "repeatedly finds items such as plastic drinks bottles, wrappers and bags on UK beaches. So much of this has been used just once and thrown away."
The general message Luk wanted to highlight was that if we began charging extra for plastic items such as bottles, straws, etc – it would make people think twice about opting to use such harmful products.
Other Companies Acting Similarly
There are a number of similar organisations doing their utmost to tackle ocean pollution. 4Ocean have put an artistic spin on a simple way to stop plastic from entering out oceans. For every one pound of plastic the company removes from the ocean, they sell a bracelet. So, keep on buying those bracelets and watch our oceans grow safer and cleaner every single day!
Another project that's removing plastic from our ocean is Ocean Cleanup. Originally a start-up company created by the young Boyan Slat, the company now employs 100 volunteers and professionals and was finally able to fund his 'mega project' named The Mega Expedition. The system works by deploying a massive 30ft U-shaped net that captures and removes rogue plastic and debris, while allowing sea life to safely pass through. If you'd like to hear more about their incredible impact, have a read here!
Get Involved!
There are so many ways that we can positively impact the world by reducing our waste output. From hiring a skip service that safely and effectively dispose of waste, to contributing to recycling charities, we can all do out bit to ensure our planet looks a little greener every day.

The researchers, led by Dr. David Spector, developed a multi-component, fluorescence microscopy imaging system in which the DNA near an inducible gene can be visualized, the messenger RNA (mRNA) encoded by the gene is labeled yellow, and the protein encoded by the mRNA is labeled blue. In short, the system's DNA, RNA, and proteins are labeled so that they glow different colors and can be seen with a microscope. The scientists then captured time-lapse images as the inducible gene was switched on: First, the gene's tightly coiled DNA adopted a more relaxed, open shape. Next, RNA could be seen accumulating and being spliced in the nucleus and exported to the cytoplasm. Finally, the proteins appeared.
Although scientists have known that the production of proteins based on the information stored in DNA involves dynamic interactions among many molecules that carry out gene transcription, RNA splicing and export, and translation, they have never before been able to simultaneously track all of the products of transcription and translation as they are produced and move throughout living cells.
Spector and his colleagues have used the method to detect specific events that transform the architecture of chromosomes from a transcriptionally silent state to an actively transcribe

Material is not comfortable , fits large. Length is good. Wish it had a bit of cotton in it.
I went for my second run in this shirt and it was a 17k.... Wow... Even though I use blister and chafing protection, my nipples and underam area(where the "openings" to the arms are were very chafed. The shirt is good for the weather but should not be advertized as running. Will not be using it anymore. I have other Running UA shirts and none have caused this issue. Long runners, beware.
Despite following UA's sizing chart, this top ran a bit larger for me, especially in the trunk area. I have been lifting weights for over 20 years, so I tend to have more of a V-taper.
The actual quality and comfort is excellent. If it weren't for the large sizing, it would be perfect.
My advice is to try before buying/accepting.
The Threadborne fabric is one of the best out there, you barely feel the shirt. However, I felt this shirt was a bit too large and neck falls VERY low on the chest, unlike the models. I'm 6'1", 198 lbs and I had a Medium shirt.
Also, the grey shirt is NOT exactly like the picture (there are no yellow strips on the shoulders).
Received grey tank and it's obviously horizontally striped... picture does not appear close to what tank is. I do NOT like or wear stripes... pretty disappointed.
This is my second singlet and there's a good reason why.
I'm an avid runner, doing medium distances outdoors, especially when the sun's out. Sweat pours out of me like Niagara, which is to be expected in humid Singapore. I don't know what fabric UA uses on this, but the singlet doesn't stick to my skin - at all! I've had other brands (Ad****, N***, NB) of singlets but NONE of them can compare to this.
Take note of sizing though, there's a LOOSE fit and FITTED. If you are going for the LOOSE fit, you may need to get a size smaller. For FITTED, just get the size you wear usually.
I wish UA would give me a discount on my next purchase (hint hint).
These tank top are very good for jogging but they are just to long they need to be shorten.
Man is this top easy to run and workout in. So lightweight it feels amazing. I am a fan of the sleeveless feel in the gym and this helps out tremendously for range of motion and comfort. GREAT product.
Great fit for weightlifting. Material is snag free for use with machines and weight belts [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
Bought a small. Found it a little looser and longer on my torso than I expected, but not by much, certainly not enough to make it uncomfortable or bothersome to wear during ultimate Frisbee. I'm 5' 9" 150lbs with average build, maybe on the slim side.
Wore it on a warm sunny day for a tournament and found it very comfortable and light - barely felt like anything was there, and the cloth was super soft. Did a fine job wicking away sweat, staying fairly dry. This was my first time buying one of these Threadborne clothes, and I really liked it and will definitely look into them for future sportswear.

"Truly Democratic Government can be said when the government's system takes in to account all aspects of Human Rights"
Human rights are entitled to all human beings equally; irrespective of country, culture and
context and are the rights that people are born with, they enjoy by virtue of their humanity.
Those rights include civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. Human rights are
inherent, inalienable, interdependent, and indivisible, meaning they cannot be taken away, the enjoyment of one right affects the enjoyment of others, and must be respected all. Human rights are granted under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that the UN member states adopted 1948, it is also granted in a six major treaties namely; International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination against Women, Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
However, when States ratify Human Rights treaties they agree to both refrain from violating specific rights and to guarantee enjoyment of those rights by individuals and groups, within their jurisdictions through developing laws and policies necessary for protection of human rights and regulating the practices of both private and public entities that may have an impact on individuals' enjoyment of those rights.
On the other hand; the birth of democracy started as a direct Democracy in Greek cities notably ancient Athens, where people came together to speak about their concerns and opinions in front of rulers and directly voted reforms on rules and laws. Democracy has undergone through a different history and through a different concept in defining it; from Ancient concept, to polyarchy then to some substantive content. According to the most scholars; Democracy is defined as a component of four elements; A political system for choosing and replacing the government through fair and free elections, the active participation of the people as citizens in politics and civic life, Protection of the human rights of all citizens, A rule of law, in which the laws and procedures apply equally to all citizens.
The link between Human Rights and Democracy
Democracy is a universally recognized concept which can be used as a tool for the protection and realization of Human rights. The two terms are interdependent; one cannot be achieved without the realization of the other one, they explicitly relate to each other. The policies of democracy include general elections, measures to strengthen and protect the individual's opportunities for influence, and measures to promote and guarantee respect for human rights.
The rule of law,non-discrimination and universal suffrage of promoting human rights are the core concepts of democratic system. A truly democratic government can be said when the government's system takes in to account all aspects of Human Rights. One of the major principles of democratic governance is the consideration of basic human rights which includes political rights and equal participation of both Men and Women.Today in the world; many states describe themselves as democratic by conducting free and periodic elections; however democracy can never be achieved fully without fully respect of all human rights elements, holding free and periodic elections for instance, is not enough, true democracy goes much deeper than this context (free election), it requires much more work.
Respect and promotion of human rights along with periodic elections based on universal suffrageand fundamental freedoms are essential in attaining democratic government. Democracy anddemocratic governance means that people's rights and fundamental freedoms are respected promoted and fulfilled which allows them to live with dignity. And as a result; this permits people to have a say on decisions affecting their lives and can hold decision makers to account, based on inclusive and fair rules. Democratic system of government leads economic, social and developmental policies that are responsive to the primary needs of people and in achieving so;poverty eradication will be possible.
Responding to the human demands and needs is a fundamental right that every government is strictly responsible and this can only be realized in democratic way.
According to the principles of the United Nations, Democracy is one of the universal core
values. Although these values are highlighted in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights andfurther developed in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights then widely
enshrined in the Economic, Social, and cultural Rights covenant but did not clearly linked
democracy and human rights at the first.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights clearly spells out the rights that are essential in achieving effective political participation by stating "the will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of the government".
A national and international environment which was more conducive to the articulation, pursuitand achievement of democratic aspirations than at any time in the past was brought at the end of the cold war and in the late of 1980s, the advocacy of what has been termed as the Universalization of democracy as a system of government, social and political process and a value related human rights increased. Later; during the World Conference on Human Rights 1993, the member states of the UN affirmed that:
"Democracy, development and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms are
interdependent and mutually reinforcing. Democracy is based on the freely expressed
will of the people to determine their own political, economic, social and cultural systems
and their full participation in all aspects of their lives.
In the context of the above, the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms at the national and international levels should be universal and conducted without conditions attached. The
international community should support the strengthening and promoting of democracy,
development and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in the entire
In reference to the Commission on Human Rights Resolution 1999/57 of 27 April, the UN
formally recognized the existence of a right to democracy, confirming "the right to full
participation and the other fundamental democratic rights and freedoms inherent in any
democratic society".
The relationship between democracy and human rights may today seem to be an obvious one.
Democracy is a universally recognized ideal which provides and enables an environment for
effective realization of people's rights. The right of democratic governance is actually a
composite of a wide range of rights that are already enshrined in the principal international
human rights treaties. These rights include; The right of citizens to choose their governmental
system through constitutional or other democratic means, The right of political participation,
including equal opportunity for all citizens to become candidates (The right to stand as a
candidate), The right of universal and equal suffrage, as well as free and fair voting procedures in
the elections through a Transparent and accountable government institutions, The right to
freedom of opinion and expression of thought, conscience and religion, and of peaceful
association and assembly, The right to freely seek, receive and impart information and ideas through mass media, The rule of law, including legal protection of citizens' rights, interests andpersonal security, and fairness, in administration and independence of the judiciary, and The right of equal access to public service in one's own country. It is through democratic institutionin which these rights can be translated in to action.
This implies that democracy and humanrights go hand in hand.

The University of California - Irvine has admitted its newest class of students, and now it's trying to reassure those students that their admissions letters are real and the school has not repeated its admissions debacle of last year.
Last summer hundreds high school grads accepted to UC Irvine had their admissions rescinded. The university said many had failed to turn in paperwork. It turned out that administrators miscalculated admissions, upending plans for hundreds of high school graduates.
This year's acceptance letters are out and the university is reassuring students it has fixed the problems.
"UCI is committed to welcoming as many talented, qualified students as possible and we're taking every step possible to assure the admissions issues of last year are not repeated," said campus spokesman Tom Vasich.
An audit found that there wasn't enough communication and training among the UC Irvine offices making important admissions decisions. Add to that the complicated process of calculating how many accepted students will enroll somewhere else.
After the audit's findings, the university hired Patricia Morales as Vice Chancellor to oversee the university's enrollment management and fix the problems.
"She's working with our financial aid and registrar's office developing the strategies to support our admissions and enrollment processes," Vasich said.
UC Irvine, Vasich said, has sent out between 27,000 and 31,000 admissions offers to students in each of the last several years. According to UC data, the Irvine campus enrolled 9,545 new undergraduates in the fall of 2017.
While last year's problems don't appear to have affected applications to the university, students on campus are working to make sure the campus's reputation remains strong among prospective students.
"It's definitely made some potential applicants nervous," said Tin Hong, an undergraduate student representative for the associated students.
The concerns he's read on social media, he said, don't surprise him because of how dramatic it is to have your admission withdrawn.
"Getting accepted to a university, saying that you're going to go to a university, having all your celebrations, and finding out in the middle of summer, that wait, you're not going to go," Hong said.
However, he's hopeful that the administration's changes have fixed the problems.

SN 3 | EP 6 | Confessions
Alton confronts Franklin about his government alliance; Julia helps Teddy meet Rigo's demands; Gustavo gets proactive.
Available: FX, Amazon.com, iTunes Store
It's 1983 and the crack cocaine epidemic is in its infancy in Los Angeles. Ambitious Lucia -- the daughter of a Mexican crime lord who sells marijuana throughout the city -- sees the burgeoning cocaine business as a potential moneymaker, so she manipulates her family into entering the more dangerous and profitable territory than pot. Getting involved with the new drug is setting her on a violent collision course with the likes of Franklin, a young street entrepreneur on a quest for power, and former Mexican wrestler Gustavo, who is caught up in a power struggle within a crime family. Also getting involved in the cocaine trade is CIA operative Teddy, who is running from a dark past and begins an off-book operation to fund Nicaraguan Contras. Oscar-nominated director John Singleton ("Boyz N the Hood") co-created the drama series and says he drew inspiration from his own life for Franklin's story.

2015 Karma Yoga Retreat August 6-10th (dates to be finalized by May 1st)
Join us for a life-changing immersion adventure in Jiquilillo, Nicaragua!
"Serving is different from fixing. When I fix a person I perceive them as broken, and their brokenness requires me to act. When I fix I do not see the wholeness in the other person or trust the integrity of the life in them. When I serve I see and trust that wholeness. We can only serve that to which we are profoundly connected, that which we are willing to touch.." ~ Rachel Naomi Remen
Why this retreat?
This retreat is unique in that we encourage participants to interact with locals throughout the entirety of the trip. Several local young adults will be joining us daily for yoga and collaborative community action projects. At meals together, you can practice your Spanish and form new friendships. Participate in coaching and focused group discussions throughout the trip that will further your learning and personal growth. Community action projects will include working with children and teenagers at a local community center, leading a beach clean-up, cooking and serving food for people living at the Chinandega garbage dump, and working one-on-one with local teenagers on a global community awareness project.
Part of your tuition will provide a donation to the Shakti Youth Project (www.shaktiyouthproject.org). Furthermore, 30% of your room and board to Monty's Beach Lodge will be funding community projects in Jiquilillo, Nicaragua. Just by joining the trip, you are investing in the local residents and youth.
Dates: August 6-10th
Tuition: $1095 includes 5 nights of beachfront accommodations, 3 delicious, authentically prepared meals a day, secure air-conditioned transportation to and from Managua airport, daily yoga practice, 3 community service activities, a volcano hike, and a mangrove estuary boat tour. Also includes unlimited access to surf boards, sea kayaks, and boogie-boards.
Transportation: While all in-country transportation is provided, you are responsible for your own transportation to/from Managua. R/T flights from DC usually cost between $400-700. We ask that you arrange for flights that arrive before 1 pm on Saturday and return the no earlier than 12pm on the 2nd. If you must fly at other times or if your travel is delayed, you will be charged an additional $120 transport fee. Additional nights at Monty's cost between 70-90 dollars. We encourage you to invest in travel insurance for your trip!
Accommodations: We will be living in a rural and impoverished part of Nicaragua. Therefore, part of the adventure of this trip is living simply while we are there! We will spend 5 nights in a simple and beautiful beach lodge. 1-2 person rooms with shared baths, fans, and mosquito nets on the beds. There are cold showers and you may see some animal life during your stay (i.e., bats overhead or a crab crawling by). We will do everything to keep you safe and comfortable! We ask, though, that you join us with an open mind.
Where can I get more information?

University City
Club members scale the heights at UNC Charlotte
Nick Faircloth has learned some of his best problem-solving skills while on the UNC Charlotte campus, even though he's never been a student there.
As a traceur, a freerunner whose goal is to negotiate physical obstacles in a path as quickly and efficiently as possible, Faircloth, 19, of Huntersville, regularly meets with a dozen or so other guys to study the brick walls, steep stairs and other architectural features on campus before scaling, leaping and vaulting over them.
He, as well as other members of Charlotte Parkour, the 70-member group of freerunning enthusiasts known as traceurs, say the discipline teaches some of life's most valuable lessons, like negotiating obstacles, both physical and mental.
"It helps increase problem-solving capacity, like what a chess player would notice," said Faircloth.
Ian Garner, 26, of Harrisburg, agrees. He once spent 30 minutes examining the length and height of a large gap between two concrete planters on campus." We actually didn't make an attempt at it until we dissected it," said Garner, who eventually went on to successfully leap from one planter to the other with ease. "Much of parkour is done just like that."
That kind of logic, said Steven Erdmanczyk Jr., 25, a computer programmer in University City, jumps over into the real world.
"It clears your head. You see how your thought process changes," said Erdmanczyk Jr. "You start seeing other obstacles in life the same way."
Parkour, the most commonly known name for the discipline of freerunning, originated in France and has gained popularity in the Unites States. It is most often seen on college campuses or in urban settings.
N.C. State and Duke universities have parkour clubs, and although it is not officially affiliated with UNC Charlotte, Charlotte Parkour has met on the UNCC campus since 2005. Many of its members met through NCParkour.com, a website that links traceurs from all over the state.
With its mix of buildings, stairs, walls and unique architectural features, campus settings are ideal places to train, said Faircloth. "There are some good spots downtown, but you have to walk anywhere between three and six blocks to get between them," he said." At UNCC, everything is right there. You can train almost anything you want at UNCC."
Traceurs are not always welcomed by spectators unfamiliar with what they're doing, and the campus also provides a relatively hassle-free place for them to practice. "We're on pretty good terms with the security," he said.
"You get a lot of people that are personally offended by it, because they've never seen it before and they don't understand why," said Faircloth, who was chastised recently by a person for leaping over a park bench.
What may seem dangerous or risky to outsiders appears almost relaxing to Traceurs. Their movements sometimes seem as fluid and effortless as water washing over the large jagged rocks along a stream's bed.
"I'm a type A personality, so I have a lot of stress," said Garner, 26, who studies biomedical equipment technology at Stanley Community College and has seen his stress level sink to a new low since beginning parkour.
"It makes a person look at problems differently," he said. "I can scale up an 11-foot wall. Why is this insignificant thing causing a problem?"

Bohol is located in the Central Visayas region, consisting of the island itself and 75 minor surrounding islands. Its capital is the City of Tagbilaran and is the tenth largest island of the Philippines. The island is a popular tourist destination as it has many beaches and resorts. The Chocolate Hills are among one of the top attractions. Panglao Island, located southwest of Tagbilaran, is famous for its diving locations and is routinely listed as one of the top ten diving locations in the world. The Philippine tarsier, amongst the world's smallest primates, is indigenous to the island.
After leaving Cebu I headed to Bohol and the City of Tagbilaran. It's difficult to know where to start when I think about Bohol. The hashtag that comes to mind is #itsmorefuninthephilippines, although the locals like to joke that #itsmorefunanddangerousinthephilippines. Driving of course was of course mad and appeared to have no rules but there was a touch of beauty about how it just worked for the most part. Being driven in a modified side car of a motor bike around the City of Tagbilaran was an entirely new experience.
I found Tagbilaran easier going than Cebu, the people and the city felt calmer and although the weather was very warm a small breeze from the ocean took the edge off the heat. I enjoyed meeting people such as @gallardonoygonz and @nessagwapa and getting to chat after Yoga on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Driving down to Panglao at night and sitting outside with a cold drink watching the sunset was sublime and made me question why I would want to be anywhere else. I suspect the company I was keeping had a part to play in this too.
I will talk about more locations and attractions of Bohol in upcoming posts, but for now I wanted to share the first night I spent in Tagbilaran. All four photographs were taken at Kasagpan Resort on the western side of Tagbilaran City.

Remy Hanemann
The inspiration for my work is a mixture of memories from childhood, informed by growing up in South Louisiana. From an early age, I was exposed to mammoth oil platforms, commercial fishing and fabrication facilities, and to the people who worked there. One of the by-products of these industries is scrap. Scrap results from various parts of machinery or other objects which have been discarded. These bits have become outdated or useless to their owners and are sold to scrap yards for a fraction of their original values. In the conception of my art, I draw parallels between this scrap and the dramas of human life. Like scrap, people can become broken by their work, left behind by technology, discarded and replaced over time. People's interpersonal relationships can also wear out, lose their value and be discarded. I use found objects in my work as analogies for memories of past events.

Choosing The Best Performing Arts Programs: Circle in the Square
Have you heard of the Circle in the Square? The school has ties to the Circle in the Square Theatre, which is located in Manhattan, New York (USA). Circle in the Square is a not-for-profit theater school. It's also the only accredited school with a direct relationship to a Broadway theater.
The Circle in the Square Theatre School was launched in 1961. That's the year that Theodore Mann founded it. Mann is a both the producer and director of the school, and was the co-founder of the Circle in the Square Theatre. Interestingly, people often attribute the theater's creation in 1951, to the birth of off-Broadway theatre. Since Mann founded the school, it has grown from 15 students, to approximately 200 pupils. The Circle in the Square has been located at Paramount Plaza, since 1971.
Here are some of the key features of the theatre school:
1. Alumni
The Circle in the Square program has produced several notable alumni, including:
Kevin Bacon: Footloose (1984), JFK (1991), A Few Good Men (1992), Mystic River (2003)
Philip Seymour Hoffman: Scent of a Woman (1992), Boogie Nights(1997), Magnolia(1999), Capote(2005), Charlie Wilson's War(2007), Doubt (2008)
Benicio del Toro: The Usual Suspects (1995), Traffic (2000), 21 Grams (2003), Che (2008)
2. Tradition
The Circle of the Square has existed since 1961. With a history spanning about five decades, the school is perfect for students looking for a well-established theatre school. It's what makes the Circle of the Square School a better option than other theatre schools that have been in existence for years rather than decades. Like the Circle of the Square Theatre, the school's tradition makes it one of the premiere schools throughout the United States.
3. Uniqueness
While there are several Broadway theatres in New York City, the Circle in the Square Theatre School is the only accredited school that's linked to one. That makes it unique from all other performing arts schools located in New York City. While other theatres may share some characteristics with Circle in the Square, this single feature sets it apart from the competition.
4. Convenience
The Circle in the Square Theatre School offers a two-year program in Professional Acting Workshop. The length of the program is perfect for those who want to receive a quality acting education, without spending four years to earn a bachelor's degree. It's also ideal for those who want to supplement a bachelor's degree that they've already earned.
5. Curriculum
Yet another feature of the school is that it provides a quality, balanced curriculum. Students must take classes ranging from Acting Technique to Dance for Actors, and from Physical Acting to Shakespearean Scene Study. Such classes ensure that students of the school receive a complete, balanced education in theatre and acting. Students can also attend seminars with various professionals in the industry, including actors, directors, and playwrights.
If you want to choose well-rounded (pun intended) performing arts school, then consider the Circle in the Square. It's definitely one of the oldest and most respected acting schools in the entire USA.

Some use film to tell stories, and to entertain their audiences. Others will use film as a means to spread a message. Propaganda filmmaking has been a prolific part of cinema since the invention of the motion picture, with filmmakers using it as an opportunity to show their political, religious or social thoughts to mass amounts of people. Propaganda films have evolved over time, from symbolism filled films of the 1920's to the point films during World War II, and to satire-based features as well as documentaries. This list of ten films will cover that spectrum across film's history, and touch on a variety of uses for propaganda filmmaking.
Battleship Potemkin (1925)
One of the most well-known films among academics and film enthusiasts, Battleship Potemkin is a silent film that championed the use of the Soviet montage. Renowned for its editing, the film carries a message about revolution, with Eisenstein's attempts to make audiences feel sympathy for the sailors of the Potemkin, and anger at their oppressive leaders. Filled with scenes to invoke anger at the Imperial government, Battleship Potemkin still stands as one of the most important films in history for its revolutionary technique and messages.
The Great Dictator (1940)
Chaplin's first full sound film, The Great Dictator, revolves the titular Adenoid Hynkel, and a Jewish barber who is the spitting image of him. Hynkel orders a mass purge of Jews and the barber is imprisoned. Upon his escape, he uses his likeness to Hynkel's looks to give the famous speech about goodwill to all mankind. The film is a clear condemning of the Nazi and fascist regime, along with Hitler and Mussolini being parodied, and was released during a time of peace between Germany and the USA. The film was banned in many countries with Nazi sympathies upon its release.
Triumph of the Will (1935)
During the Nazi party's rise to power, many films were made to spread their message to the masses. The most well known, Triumph of the Will, documents the party's congress in Nuremberg in 1934. Politically biased, the film's main theme is the return of power to Germany, led by Hitler, and shows many of Hitler's speeches, the Hitler Youth and crowds of SA troops, showing Germany to still be a strong nation after World War I. The film used techniques such as aerial shots, moving cameras and a full orchestral score to match the cinematography to emphasise its message, solidifying its position in this list.
Reefer Madness (1936)
Somewhat of a cult film nowadays, and critically panned, Reefer Madness is an exploitation drama about the grossly exaggerated effects of teenagers smoking marijuana. Financed and produced by religious groups, it was conceived as a film for parents as a warning of what could happen to their children if they got into the drug. Famous for its unsubstantiated claims that smoking marijuana would lead to murder, rape and insanity, the film was rediscovered in the 1970's and became a classic midnight movie, developing a cult following from its ridiculousness and unintentionally bad script.
Starship Troopers (1997)
Verhoeven's ironic satire film about a futuristic military at war with an alien race owes a lot to films such as Triumph of the Will. Using fictional newsreels, cinematography, and even Nazi-like costumes, Starship Troopers uses many propaganda film techniques to condemn mankind's quest for warfare, with Verhoeven stating on the film's commentary that the film's message is "War makes fascists of us all".
Bowling for Columbine (2002)
Moore's documentaries have often been controversial; especially in the US, and his feature Bowling for Columbine is no different. Revolving around finding out why the Columbine massacre happened, and how America's violent crime rate is affected by their gun laws, the film uses a lot of editing techniques and propaganda-esque content to show Moore's feelings on the matter. Ironic montages of gun purchases and crime set to The Beatles 'Happiness is a Warm Gun' and the US's involvement with arms dealings overseas to Louis Armstrong's 'What a Wonderful World' clearly show the film's true message.
Metropolis (1927)
A prominent film in the era of German Expressionism, Lang's sci-fi epic Metropolis immediately begins by showing the workers of the city as underprivileged, all dressed alike, exhausted by the day-to-day struggle. Throughout the film they're depicted like flocks of sheep, blindly following orders. The awful conditions they work in are compared to Moloch, an ancient deity appeased by human sacrifices. The film uses a great amount of symbolism to display the differences between the workers and the upper society Thinkers, and the mutual dependence the two shares. The film was a representation of the conditions the German society was left in around the time of hyperinflation after the First World War, and how the working class should not tolerate these conditions. The film was criticized at the time for having a Communist message.
La Grande Illusion (1937)
Held in high praise by film critics, La Grande Illusion revolves around French prisoners of war during World War I, who are planning an escape. Like Metropolis, La Grande Illusion examines the differences in social classes, as well as human relations, and the futility of warfare. The rise of fascism in Europe and anti-Semitism is also featured, using these as a chance to promote civil unity across all of humanity, and that we all share experiences that should not drive us to war. It is regarded as one of France's greatest films ever produced by many viewers, academics and critics.
The Birth of a Nation (1915)
The incredibly controversial The Birth of a Nation's tale of two families during the American Civil War and the reconstruction of the country is notorious. The portrayal of black men is incredibly racist, with white men using blackface to play them, and appearing stupid and sexually aggressive towards women. The Ku Klux Klan is shown as a force for justice, heroic in its quest. The film was used as a recruitment tool for the KKK upon its release, using it as an example of its manifesto. Its filmmaking techniques earned it a place in the United States Library of Congress, but it should also be remembered also as a powerful yet disturbing propaganda piece in a dark period in American history.
Red Dawn (1984)
Red Dawn is set in an alternate reality where the Soviets invade the USA during the Cold War, where a gang of high school students fends them off using guerilla tactics. Staunchly pro-America and anti-Communist, the film has references to the NRA, and other anti-fascist and resistance movements during World War II. Its patriotism carried over into the real American military when the operation to capture Saddam Hussein was named after the film, and units were named Wolverine 1 and 2, after the gang of teenagers in the film. Captain Geoffrey McMurray, who named the mission, said it was "so fitting because it was a patriotic, pro-American movie."

Kevin Mirallas and Morgan Schneiderlin dropped by Everton after training row with Duncan Ferguson
Everton duo Morgan Schneiderlin and Kevin Mirallas were left out of their side's weekend win over Watford for disciplinary reasons.
The pair were sent home from training on the eve of the Premier League fixture after refusing to apply themselves in a session led by club legend Duncan Ferguson.
Neither player was named in David Unsworth's squad on Sunday, Everton easing their relegation fears with a 3-2 win.
Ferguson was unhappy with the two players' lack of effort, and upon suggesting the pair either shape or not bother, it appears they took the latter option and returned to the dressing room.
They were then told to vacate the USM Finch Farm training ground, with Unsworth taking appropriate action.
Schneiderlin's form has dipped alarmingly this season, and he was sent off as Everton made their premature Europa League exit in Lyon last week.
Mirallas has been inconsistent for several years, occasional moments of quality flattering to deceive during the David Moyes, Roberto Martinez and Ronald Koeman eras.
It will be up to Koeman's replacement to determine the future of both players, although usually there is a clean slate when a new coach is appointed.
Koeman's successor can ill afford to rule out any player from selection given Everton's current situation.
Nevertheless, whoever takes over will be urged to retain both Unsworth and Ferguson as they are representative of Everton's identity so there is plenty of bridge building ahead for Mirallas and Schneiderlin.
Mirallas used social media on Saturday evening in an attempt to curry the favour of Everton fans, who at that stage would have been unaware of the events earlier in the day.
"Thank you for all your messages. It's a difficult situation for me, but in life there are things much more serious than my personal situation," he wrote.
Given Evertonians' love of Ferguson, it is unlikely a show of disrespect to the club legend will earn Mirallas much sympathy for his predicament.

Issue: How to fix Windows 10 Apps if they don't allow typing?
Hello. For some reason, I can't type anything in Windows 10 Apps, including Cortana, Settings Search, Calculator, Feedback, and so on. Please help me!
Solved Answer
There are various issues related to Windows 10 Apps but the one that you have described seems to be exceptional. However, the ugetfix research team has initiated a thorough research on it and found out that there are quite a lot of people who cannot type in Cortana, Settings Search or Calculator. While the lost ability to type words or symbols is well-known Windows 10 bug, typically the problem affects only one application at a time, but not the whole list of them. Therefore, in this case, it's important to remember what system changes you have recently initiated to fix the bug. For example, you might have installed third-party software, which might have been bundled with malware or switched to another antivirus, which may be causing software conflicts. Besides, you might have installed some Windows 10 updates or upgraded to another build. There may be many reasons that might have triggered Windows 10 Apps' unresponsiveness to typing. Nevertheless, in this short post, we will provide a couple of fixes that may help.
Fix 1. Run ctfmon.exe
The official Microsoft's forum has a topic related to typing issues on Windows 10 apps. Several people have reported that they've managed to work around this bug by running a ctfmon.exe process. Therefore, for this purpose, you simply need to click Win key + R simultaneously and paste ctfmon.exe in it. In case you cannot type in the search bar, then right-click on Win key and select Command Prompt (Admin). Type ctfmon.exe in it and press Enter. Once done, check if Cortana, Calculator, Search and other Windows 10 Apps now allow typing. If not, move on with the next fix.
Fix 2. Enable TextServicesFramework Task
- Click Win key + R, type taskschd.msc, and press Enter.
- Then navigate go to Task Scheduler Library -> Microsoft -> Windows -> TextServicesFramework.
- Right-click on MsCtfMonitor and select Enable.
- Finally, reboot your PC.
Fix 3. Restore to the previous point
If Windows 10 Apps disabled you from writing after the installation of Windows updates or modification of some important system's settings, we would recommend you to get back to the previous point. NOTE: this method is available only if you have a System Restore Point created back in time.
- Click Win key and type Create a Restore point in the search bar.
- Select System Protection on the new window.
- Click on System Restore and then hit Next.
- Select the last Restore point that you have created and then click Next.
- Click Finish and wait for the system to restore. After that, restart the system.
Hopefully, one of the Windows 10 Apps typing issue fixes have helped you. If, however, you still cannot type anything in Cortana, Settings Search, Calculator, and other apps, we would recommend trying:
- Run SFC scan (use Command Prompt to run it if you can't type sfc/scannow in Win key + R search box);
- DISM Tool (use Command Prompt, enter Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth and Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth commands in it, and press Enter after each);
- Disable your anti-virus.
- Run a scan with a professional anti-malware. Our recommendation is Reimage.

Singer & songwriter Petra Jarrar is recording her debut pop album and also creating the role of Juliette in the world premiere of TABULA RASA, a new jazz opera by Felix Jarrar & Bea Goodwin that tells the feminist story of one of the most iconic women of 1920s Paris: Kiki de Montparnasse. Petra talks about her diverse performing experiences, character study as a way of drawing in the audience, and learning to drive!
May 4, 5, 11, and 12th @ 8pm
Blue Building
222 E 46th St., NYC
Tell us a little bit about yourself!
My name is Petra Jarrar, and I am playing Juliette in Felix and Brittany's opera, Tabula Rasa. I'm also Felix's younger sister!
Many people in this cast have labeled me to be a "Popera Star," which I find so endearing and amusing. I'm a singer/songwriter based out of NYC. I've gotten to tour all over the world together from Japan to the GRAMMYs. Currently, I'm in the process of recording my debut album, slated to be released later this year. However, I grew up as a trained classical pianist, and I love going back to my roots. As a kid, Felix exposed me to the wonderful world of opera, and I was hooked. Along with our piano teacher, Felix and I would go see productions at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and Tanglewood almost every other week. When he began writing his own works and producing them, Felix would always ask me to help, whether it was something behind the scenes or just assist the cast the day of the show. Over time, I began to work very closely with Felix and Bea on various productions. As our working relationship progressed, I began to express to him my interest in participating in his productions. I've gotten the chance to perform as a chtonic nymph, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, and now, Juliette the Jazz Singer in Tabula Rasa.
Do you remember what your first opera was? And what your reaction was?
My first opera was Marriage of Figaro. I believe I was about six years old. I remember being so excited by the whole experience. The costumes, the music and the singers were dazzling. I couldn't look away.
All of the characters in Tabula Rasa are based on actual historical figures. What did you know about your character prior to working on Tabula Rasa, and how did you go about preparing the role?
I actually knew very little about Kiki's friends before taking on the role of Juliette. It wasn't until Bea told me about her inner circle of female friends that I began to learn about my character. Juliette was one of Kiki's best friends alongside Thérèse, and often would help Kiki make her costumes and do her makeup. She also performed with her frequently, and made appearances wherever she would go around the slinky streets of Montparnasse. I've spent the last few weeks researching as much as I can about Kiki and just started reading her memoir that she wrote at the prime age of 28. I've been really interested in knowing more about Kiki and her friendships, and her experiences of life outside of her world as a model, because my character, just like her group of friends, played a huge part her world at Montparnasse's most famous woman.
What's was the most surprising thing you learned about life in the 1920s?
At first, when Brittany told me that women could not be served in cafes and restaurants if they were unaccompanied or if they didn't wear hats, I thought it was more or less a joke. It was surprising to me to find this to be true, and that why I find Kiki's "Hat Song" to be one of the most fitting introductions to her. Right off the bat, we see her combating the social norms of women in Montparnasse, and that's why I love her.
What are some of the rewards of working on a new work? What are the challenges?
Being able to tell a story that no one has before is such a unique and amazing opportunity. It's an honor in many ways, to be have the space and creativity to bring a new work to fruition. However, the challenge with that is ensuring that the audience understands the little nuances, moves and motions of the work that we've familiarize ourselves with since we've been living with Tabula Rasa for almost a year now. This is where character study came into one of the utmost important things for me as I took on the role of Juliette. I wanted the audience with the little time they have to go away feeling like the know my character on a deep and personal level, and find something that resonates with them about her.
What is your greatest non-artistic achievement?
Oh, that's easy! It was a recent one. I started to learn how to drive, and I didn't kill anyone on the road. I think that's a pretty awesome feat if I do say so myself.
Congrats on learning how to drive! What would be your dream road-trip to take?
Thank you! I'm pretty excited. If I could drive anywhere...hmm. I would love to drive to Los Angeles. I'd get to treat myself to entire tour of the United States while I'm at it.
Name a trashy TV show you secretly love.
Love and Hip Hop. I wouldn't have ever learned about my girl Cardi B otherwise.
In one sentence, why do you hope people come to see Tabula Rasa?
I hope people come to see Tabula Rasa to learn about the mysterious life led by Kiki de Montparnasse, and give her a chance to finally have her story heard on a platform that was once seldom told... I want everyone to be talking about Kiki!

I have no idea why this has happened but, over the last few days, I am being constantly reminded of the days of black and white photography.
I remember the days of the box camera, the photographer at school with his head under a black cloth taking the class picture and the days when I used to rush to the local photo studio after I got my pocket money to develop and print that priceless roll of 120 mm film.
Suddenly, I want to take black and white pictures again. I want to get hold of that red roll and take 16 rectangular pictures and develop the film, not knowing what I have clicked until the time it was developed and printed.
But, of course, that is history. No longer are there studios that print such pictures, and I am sure I will never be able to find that film, or those cameras, anyway. After all, brands popular in those days are either not made any more or their manufacturers have switched to digital cameras.
Looking back, I feel the older pictures, when the only "colour" was sepia, were far better than the colour images we get these days.
I firmly believe what well-known photographer Ted Grant has famously said, "When you photograph people in color, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their souls!"
Just to get a feel of the "good old days", I took out a few of the portraits I have taken in the last few months and "converted" them into black and white. And what I saw was remarkable. The "converted" pictures are so much more life-like, so fresh and so moving. The colour photographs, on the other hand, have too many distractions and in those is lost the true meaning of the work.
I wish we could take pictures once again, in black and white.
So that the story can be told, not shown!
Life like it is
I have no idea why this has happened but, over the last few days, I am being constantly reminded of the days of black and white photography.

Presentation on the Security Impact of Drones/
To support the understanding and acquisition of knowledge regarding UAS/UAV/Drone technology, Mark Schreiber of Safeguards Consulting and Jason Cansler of Under the Sun Imaging gave a presentation to the Western SC Chapter of ASIS International on March 18th, 2016. Jason Cansler educated the group of security professionals on Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) technologies, operations, and legal implications. Mark Schreiber addressed the impact of UAS as threat, and as a tool for security organizations. There is a great deal of innovation in UAS/Drone system development, and mitigation technologies (i.e. drone detection/intervention), and the presentation gave insight on current and near future applications. The team hopes to also give this presentation at the ASIS Annual Seminar in September 2016.

Doing shows from Miami to Seattle, California to Massachusetts, has let me see this great country up close -- huge cities, little towns, vast countryside -- all of it.
My Journey is now coming to an end, I hope to see you one last time.

I'm using Mailwasher Pro 6.5.4 and Windows Live Mail (Windows 7) on a Compaq laptop.
When I process my email messages, and send them to the Live Mail page, the messages still remain on the Mailwasher Pro page. (On my old PC, they used to disappear from Mailwasher's page once I sent them to Outlook Express.)
If I get a new email message, the old messages are still on the Mailwasher page unless I manually click "delete" and then click "process mail".
I've already gone into Windows Live Mail and unchecked the box about keeping my messages on the server, which was information I found in the FAQ section.
How do I get Mailwasher to automatically delete the messages once I've processed them and sent them to my Live Mail page?

Margaret Anne Cargill, 85; Anonymous Philanthropist
Friday, August 4, 2006
Margaret Anne Cargill, 85, a philanthropist who was listed by Forbes magazine last year as the 164th richest American, with a net worth of $1.8 billion, died of complications of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Aug. 1 at her home in La Jolla, Calif.
Miss Cargill, one of eight heirs to the Cargill Inc. agribusiness fortune, was a major donor to the American Red Cross, the Nature Conservancy and the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian, according to a family spokeswoman.
She gave away more than $200 million, much of it since 1990, and always on the condition of anonymity. Even the recipients of her largest donations often did not know who gave the money, a spokeswoman for her trustees said.
Virginia Elwell, the American Indian museum's director of development, said she met Miss Cargill at the museum's grand opening in 2004, but was told only her first name. Although Elwell knew she was a major donor, having given $2.4 million since 1997, it wasn't until this week that she learned Miss Cargill's last name.
"She's one of those very rare people who chose to give anonymously, so it's difficult to find out about her motivations. She gave from the heart, not in search of any kind of recognition," Elwell said. "My impression of her was that she was lit up from the inside, maybe because of the good she was doing. She was a true benefactor . . . and a delightful lady."
The biggest recipient of her largess was the American Red Cross, to which she gave a little more than $9 million for local, national and international programs. She supported the San Diego chapter and its lifesaving programs, such as teaching aquatics skills for children, and she made contributions to national disaster funds. She also provided major financial support to at least two programs in Russia.
One of the programs in Russia is aimed at preventing the spread of HIV and AIDS in the city of Irkutsk by identifying and working with pregnant women. It also runs an orphanage for children with HIV. The other program provides a support system for disabled children that enables them to live at home.
She made her first donation to the Red Cross in 1997 to help people displaced by the Red River flooding in North Dakota and Minnesota, said Kathleen Loehr, interim vice president for development at the American Red Cross. Through the trustees of her foundation, she went on to support programs and projects with which she felt a connection, particularly those benefiting children, Loehr said.
"Over her career as a philanthropist, she was interested in supporting programs that help children no one else would help," Loehr said. The Red Cross plans to name its new building in San Diego after her.
Her donations to the Nature Conservancy were focused on protecting backcountry areas near San Diego and the Great Bear Rainforest in coastal British Columbia, an organization spokeswoman said.
Miss Cargill was born in Los Angeles. She was a granddaughter of William Cargill, who in 1865 founded the grain storage firm that became one of the world's largest private companies. Miss Cargill, an artist and a jewelry maker, graduated from the University of Minnesota with a degree in art education. She moved to Southern California, where she pursued her interest in arts and crafts and donated to a number of local charities.
She lived quietly but was described as lively when among friends. She began making significant donations about 15 years ago, with gifts to organizations such as the San Diego Humane Society, St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral in San Diego and the Idyllwild School of Music and the Arts in California.
She also had given the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis $4.2 million since 1990.
"I think it's one of the most remarkable examples of pure philanthropy I've encountered," Bruce Karstadt, chief executive officer of the institute, told the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "The support has had a transformational impact, especially on our educational programs and outreach initiatives."
