Loftus-Cheek enjoying a fine start to new life at the Bridge
After netting against Wolves, Ruben Loftus-Cheek takes his tally to five for Chelsea in all competitions.
The Chelsea youngster – who made his 50th Chelsea appearance in the Blues' weekend fixture against Fulham – has impressed so far this season.
With a hat-trick in the Europa League, followed by two goals in the Premier League, Loftus-Cheek has been a man in form for the Blues. The 21-year-old at current has scored two in his last two games, against Fulham and Wolves respectively.
Having to compete with both Ross Barkley and Real Madrid loanee Mateo Kovacic the youngster has been limited to just four Premier League appearances thus far. Despite his goalscoring antics the England International only made his first Premier League start in the Blues latest 2-1 loss against Wolves.
Chelsea star Eden Hazard spoke to Sky Sports regarding the Blues man's future:
He's a fantastic player. We all know. I've trained with him for five years,
I saw him when he was young, now he is not so young but he can still improve. But in the future I think he will be one of the best midfielders in the country.
After spending the 2017/18 season in South London with Crystal Palace the Lewisham born midfielder could be one of a handful of Chelsea players to benefit from the loan system, stating:
My mindset is when I get the opportunity to play, whether it is the Europa League or Premier League, I have got to do my best and to try to make stuff happen but also do what the manager asks me to do defensively. So that's my mindset and I want to carry on like that.
A congested Christmas period could see the Englishman gain more minutes in the division with seven League fixtures in December. Chelsea next take on Manchester City, where Maurizio Sarri hopes to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Wolves.

West vs. Islam or West vs. ISIS
From Paris to Pakistan to, from Syria to Mali, the absolute world is terrorized by just one community. United States of America, European and rest of the Muslim minority nations did not delay to blaming a particular community for all recent terror attacks in occurred in last one month in Paris, Beirut, Mali and Russian plane crash in Sinai, Egypt, killing more than 400.
Certainly in all the terror attacks months before months, years before years in New York, London, Paris, Mumbai, Madrid, only the members of same community were involved.
Now, the world has moulded its view of outlook towards Muslim world, presuming them just to be engaged in just producing terrorists, and this is what Middle East is now known for. But, here question arises, has it been merely coincidence or something even more, why democratic values have always been failed in Muslim World. Is it merely due to religion and culture that makes Middle East more radical, and why after all, each and every militant belong to this community? The recent incidents have once again raised questions that whether "Islam in Terror or Terror in Islam."
How Global Power Sown Seeds of Terror in Middle-East
Ever since the Second World War, cold war between United Sates of America and former USSR has been accountable for shaping the past and future of many countries in the World, and Middle East is of course no exception. It is well known that the formation of militant group Taliban by USA with association of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, UAE and other middle east allies to knockdown the USSR's dominance in Afghanistan in 1989. Coincidentally, at the same time USSR happened to collapse and compelled to retreat. However, whether Afghanistan was saved or not is still ambiguous.
Ever since 1989 Indian has been prey of the same militants created by USA led coalition in Afghanistan which expanded its hold in Pakistan to fight proxy war against India. Attacks on Parliament of India in New Delhi in 2001 and 26/11 Mumbai attacks leaving hundreds dead were outcome of the same phenomena. The Al Qaeda and Bin Laden, product of this very intervention, finally honored their creator with 9/11 in the return to what they had given to Middle East.
The 9/11 against paved a beautiful way for USA to invade in Middle Eastern countries in the name of fighting against terrorism, receded Iraq and Afghanistan into Stone Age. However, after fall of Saddam's regime in Iraq and killing of Bin Laden in Pakistan, as USA army initiated to retreat leaving behind the trails of destruction, the locals suppressed for one and decade started to be violent. The suppression of more than a decade of was sufficient for Iraqi and Afghani Muslim population, whose lives had been no better than hell, to fill the vacuum by creating another Jihadist group 'ISIS', as they had left with no any source of lives.
As US army gradually retreated from Iraq the group become more violent, strengthen its hold in west Iraq and swallowed eastern parts of Syria which was already battling with deadly civil war between Russian led Assad Regime and US led Rebels.
Due to hypocritical attitude of USA, how many people have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, how Honduran and Chilean coup d'état ruined democracy, how many fled Syria and Libya due to US led intervention still remains unanswered.
Why East Still Untouched by ISIS ?
The Muslim community living in Western countries as minority is always being suppressed and discriminated, and that the ISIS is targeting to those well-educated dissatisfied Muslim youths in European countries. The French Muslim youths involved in both Paris attacks this year (January and November) is somehow outcome of that desperation.
Although, the situation has not become so far become so fragile for Eastern and southern eastern countries as Muslims population is not being suppressed that much. Especially in India Muslims enjoy much freedom of practicing their rituals, traditions and celebrating festivals than any other Muslim minority country in Asia. But, there may is some level of threat to China from ISIS for suppressing Muslims community in Xinjiang province, disallowing them from following their customs and festivals, which is prone to explode any time.
Now, it depend upon the western power whether they carry on their intervention for their seduction for oil and keep producing even more factions like ISIS and Al-Qaeda and keep blaming Islam for spreading terrorism.

The Golf Club Padova lies in a valley at the foot of the Euganean Hills, very close to the town and just a few kilometres from Venice. The course is mostly on level ground with various water barriers; but the major difficulty is presented by the thick vegetation on either side, something blocking the view of the full length of the fairway. The greens are not two difficult because there is no great difference in height, except for the one at the ninth hole, but they require a delicate touch because of their smooth running and of the difficulty in judjing the best line to take.Regulars say that the course is entertaining for all levels of play.Also near the club is the spa resort of Albano with its excellent hotels, which is well-known because of the beneficial effects on rheumatic disturbances that may be obtained thanks to the hot spring water and to the mud treatment.
Comment read on the Peugeot Golf Guide
This is the neighbouring course to Montecchia, on flat terrain at the foot of the Colli Euganei, volcanic hills dotted with orchards and vineyards and the source of hot springs already appreciated by the ancient Romans. They spawned a number of spa resorts, including Abano Terme and others in the same region. This course, designed by John Harris is quality golfing and ideal for most players. A few water hazards have been dug out to collect some welcome earth with which to contour the course elsewhere, and are particularly dangerous from hole 5 to hole 8. The existing vegetation has been supplemented by many others trees and bushes, which are growing slowly but surely. The layout does not require any special skills and the best players might card a good score without being unduly tested. A rather short course, often busy on weekends (the clubhouse is huge with 15 guestrooms) and pleasant to play with all the family
Situated in Italy's northeast, Veneto extends from the Dolomites to the Adriatic Sea, by way of an expansive range of hills and a valley furrowed by rivers, canals and the Po River Delta.
The typical scenery of Veneto's coast is the Venetian lagoon, and, right on this very lagoon stands perhaps the most unique city in the entire world - Venice, visited by millions of tourists every year.
Yet all of the Veneto, a region with a thousand different faces, is the custodian of natural, artistic, and traditional treasures.
Veneto expresses an extraordinary variety in its scenery: from the Dolomites, dipped in the crimson shades of the sunset, to the eastern shore of Lake Garda and Peschiera del Garda, Torri del Benaco and other tourist destinations. Long, sandy beaches alternate with well-known resorts such as Jesolo, Bibione, Cavallino and Caorle.
In this spectacular natural setting lies a rich cultural heritage that renders the Veneto such a fascinating region, from its cities of art to the magnificent Palladian villas scattered along the Brenta Riviera. And not to be forgotten are the small villages of Arquà Petrarca, Monselice, Asolo and Bassano del Grappa that bring together the most typical aspects of this diverse and varied region.
Veneto is also an ideal destination for a vacation of comfort and relaxation, thanks to its possession of thermal waters with their valuable therapeutic properties: the gentle slopes of the Euganean Hills are home to the well-equipped facilities of the Euganean Spas: e.g. Abano, Montegrotto and Teolo, where guests can combine treatments and therapies with pleasant excursions out into the surrounding areas.
The provinces of the region are: Venice (regional capital), Belluno, Padua, Rovigo, Treviso, Verona and Vicenza.
In the Veneto Region, in the waters of the Adriatic, is one of the most romantic and evocative places in the world, a priceless treasure: the Venetian Lagoon.
At the heart of this legendary Province is the Serenissima or Most Serene Republic, with its characteristic bridges spanning the canals navigated by gondolas, its monuments, piazzas, narrow lanes and silent waters.
Venice is actually a group of fascinating small islands, where art and history combine with old trades and the beauty of the sea.
Sandy beaches washed by the Adriatic Sea characterize the main resorts that offer vacationers every kind of comfort. The fascinating inland is composed of many paths traversing the green scenery, along with peaceful rivers that pass through small towns rich in history and fabulous villas.
It is an area full of the exquisite flavors of its typical dishes and a renowned "wine list."
Many opportunities for fun abound as well: outdoor sports, nightlife in the many glamorous night spots, and shopping in the typical crafts workshops to buy souvenirs.
In the central area of the Veneto plains, among lagoon, hills and Alpine foothills, lies the Province of Padua, a fascinating mixture of art, cultures, flavors and traditions. A visit to the Province is a discovery of a territory remarkably rich in history, culture, vitality and ingenuity, characterized by a great variety of places to see, products to taste, and people to meet. An inventive and hard-working people have known how to renew their traditions time and again.
In the Province's heart we find Padua, dynamic and vivacious city with a vast historical and monumental heritage; it is surrounded by significant natural and cultural attractions: the Euganean Springs, the Euganean Hills, the Medieval defensive walls, castles, villas, a patchwork countryside and water flows that run east towards the Veneto Lagoon.
The southeast is occupied by the Euganei Hills, a treasure chest of wonders. Green valleys and pretty hills covered in vineyards are made even more beautiful by the colors of spring, and the warm atmosphere of autumn.
The hills enclose the largest thermal area in Europe, the Terme Euganei, internationally-renowned for their therapeutic waters, that after their long subterranean journey rise to the surface here. The principal spa centers are Abano, Montegrotto and Galzigano Terme, and they offer mudbath therapies and many of the most modern beauty and wellness treatments.
The Province is also made up of a vast network of navigable waterways. Between Padua and Venice, the Brenta River makes a river cruise (burchielli) an absolutely unforgettable experience. Cruisers will feel - even briefly - akin to the lords and aristocrats of Venice that used these boats to reach their summer residences - simple buildings that they had transformed into magnificent works of architecture, with the help of brilliant artists such as Palladio, Preti and Scamozzi.
Summertime tours on the canals circling Padua offer unique occasions to see the city from a different perspective. Otherwise, experiencing this terrain on a bicycle, exploring the network of paths, particularly along rivers and streams, is also an excellent choice: try the bike track in Padua or on the Euganean Riviera, or a romantic itinerary on the banks of the Battaglia Canal, with its lovely villas and scenic shortcuts through the Hills.
A tour of the fortified cities is an intriguing way to get to know Padua's long Medieval history. Cittadella, Este, Monselice and Montagnana are ideal for living the past, via commemorative re-enactments in period costumes, and the palios and jousts that animate these ancient villages every year. The area's millenary history also shows up in the local arts of good cuisine and fine wine.
Here, the origins of viticulture are ancient; at the same time, cultivation techniques have been perfected over time. The high-quality whites and reds of today are the fruits of such meticulous and time-tested labor.

Take what the defense gives you
Sometimes, we aren't at our best. For whatever reason. Tired, distracted by fantasy football, errands, eating junkfood, a feeling of laziness.
I usually struggle so much on these days not because of lower production. I have difficulty handling the stress caused by knowing that I didn't make much progress. Negative thoughts creep in like: "I'm not cut out fon this" and "my life is wasting away".
Today, I am fasting on coca tea. It's lunch time, and getting kind of tough. Strong cravings for food. Having done this before, tonight will be the real test.
I may not make a ton of progress this afternoon. Maybe just walking and reading. Tangible work is limited to a solid hour and a half of work this AM. Tomorrow I will be better.
So I'll take it. I am against a strong defense (resistance) today. The 49ers D. And my franchise left tackle isn't playing. After this post, I am going to shut down and know that I gained a few yards today. And it's okay.
From Turning Pro:
"In football terms, we shut that part of the playbook that contains the deep "go" routes and the 55-yard bombs. We turn instead to that section that has the short slants and the three-yard dinks into the flat. Two key tenets for days when Resistance is really strong:
1. Take what you can get and stay patient. The defense may crack late in the game.
2. Play for tomorrow. Our role on tough-nut days is to maintain our composure and keep chipping away. We're pros. We're not amateurs. We have patience. We can handle adversity. Tomorrow the defense will give us more, and tomorrow we'll take it. There's a third tenet that underlies the first two:
3. We're in this for the long haul. Our work is a practice. One bad day is nothing to us. Ten bad days are nothing. In the scheme of our lifelong practice, twenty-four hours when we can't gain yardage is only a speed bump. We'll forget it by breakfast tomorrow and be back again, ready to hurl our bodies into the fray."

Memphis Depay puffs on a cigar as he strolls alongside Italian Riviera with fiancee Lori Harvey
Dutch winger never set Manchester United on fire but has no trouble lighting up in fashionable Portofino
MEPHIS DEPAY puffed on a cigar as he enjoyed his holiday on the Italian Riviera.
The Manchester United flop sauntered casually along the promenade in fashionable Portofino with fiancee Lori Harvey.
The couple celebrated their engagement in Los Angeles last Saturday and are now soaking up the sun in Europe.
Lori is the step-daughter of American comedian Steve Harvey.
Lyon winger Depay, 23, has been very busy this summer, keeping fit by playing basketball as well as recording a rap video with Holland team-mate Quincy Promes.
Latest pictures of him and Lori show Depay chomping on a huge cigar and sporting a floral shirt, shades and white chinos.
Lori wore a red, white and blue dress complete with old-fashioned car prints.
TV host Harvey was also on the trip to Italy. He was snapped with wife Marjorie on the quayside.
Depay, the former PSV Eindhoven star, is due back in France for pre-season training with Lyon at the start of next month.
He will be keen to continue the impressive form he recaptured on leaving Old Trafford for France in a £21.6million switch in January.
Depay scored five goals in 17 Ligue 1 appearances as Lyon earned a Europa League spot with a fourth-placed finish behind Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain and Nice.
That ended a dismal 18 months at United, where he scored just two Premier League goals in 33 games.

Thoughts Of An Idiot: "What if you had a sense of play like kids do?" [5-21-2016]
Thoughts Of An Idiot [5-20-2016]: "What if you were ready RIGHT NOW?"
Thoughts Of An Idiot [5-16-2016]: "What if you're exactly where you're supposed to be?"
Thoughts Of An Idiot [5-13-2016]: Day 1
It's not that I don't care. It's that I care too much and I think you're focusing on the least effective issues.
This is not going to be received well. But that's ok. I hear that for every judgement you can receive, you can make an extra $5000 a year. So, I'm just going to start speaking my mind whether people like it or not.
I'm seeing a TON of political posts about Bernie, Hillary, Trump, and a lot of other noise. People are incredibly passionate about their points of view (by the by, check out this interesting definition of "passion" from a dictionary from 1938 and 1892. Would you be so liberal in using this word if this was it's true meaning?). Yet,in my lifetime and in human history, I've never seen the type of dynamic change that I truly would like to see in the world come from the type of revolutions that we're used to. From what I've observed, the greatest and most dynamic change has come from individuals and movements that had no judgement and based in a space that included everything and judged nothing (including judgement).
I am voting this year. I abstained the last few local elections, but the presidential elections are important to me. So, I'll be recording me vote. Primarily, I'm voting for any candidate who will keep me out an interment camp (Go can go fuck yourself, Mr.Trump. Or just make it public how you hire homeless people to ejaculate on the sleeping backs of orphaned children so you can feel any emotion, like all KNOW you do. It's cool, man. No judgements. #ItsCalledAJoke). But still, I find that all this anger, rage, hate, blame... What is it really creating?
Is it creating a different possibility in this reality? Is it only creating more of the polarity that seems to define this reality? Or, even worse, it's strengthening, feeding the beast that is the POV that you are trying to tear down? Personally, over the last 10 years, I've seen more and more people rail against Mosanto, corporations, big Oil, the Tea Party, ignorance, intolerance, and injustice... and I've only seen those things keep getting stronger.
The people who've I've seen make real changes, real differences, have done so from a point of view of offering a different reality, not an element of difference in the current reality, a straight up departure from the paradigm we exist in. Would that mean that I'm voting for Bernie, Hillary, or Gary Coleman (who did vote for)? I'm not sure, yet. Because, I truly know that nothing changes the world more than the conscious choice to become more aware, to live in the question, to let go of judgement, and to be as happy as you possibly can be. Nothing changes the world more than that.
What about government? Well, it's been said by some mystics, shamans, and some incredibly handsome guys and ladies in good looking clothes, that the face of government will change when 10,000 on the planet are operating from consciousness. While I don't know what the exact number is, I do know that within an 8 year period, a qualified, well intentioned and intelligent white woman went from "Radical departure from the norm" to "too much of the same ol' same old thing." Has anyone else noticed this?
And to anyone who thinks that their loud ass arguments about politics really is doing something and if they can't do that, what could they do to make the world better? You could try these on for size:
- Be a better father/mother/husband/wife/parent/neighbor.
- Forgive someone. Someone you think you could never forgive. Not make it ok that they did what they did, but truly let go of what ever it is that hangs heavy in your heart.
- For 10 seconds, be vulnerable to a complete stranger. You don't have to say anything other than, "Hello."
- Support your local artists by going to a show of theirs. Perhaps one at a wine bar in Malibu on Saturday nights.
- Call an old friend for coffee.
- Tell someone you hurt that you're sorry.
- Tell someone you've felt guilty for wronging them to go fuck themselves and stand up for yourself. What if you never made yourself wrong for anything you've ever done?
These are just a few examples. But I could keep going on. There's too much at stake in this moment in history to keep one's focus on the micro. Yes, politics are important. But they are so much less important and less powerful than a being who as awakened to their true infinite nature and then chooses to show up in their lives as that infinite being.
I'm pleased to announce my newest "residency": Rosenthal Wine Bar & Patio!!!
Now, I put residency in quotes because, I'm basically splitting duties with my homeboy, Jon Cresswell. But today, I got a call and made plans to play at Malibu's Rosenthal Wine Bar & Patio every Saturday night inside from 6p-close. This will be my second residency I've had in town; my first being at Republic Of Pie. And after my last contract, I came back into LA and made a promise to myself that, unless it's a great gig for publicity, I can't play free gigs anymore. And after a few shaky months, I'm super proud and grateful to have been offered this gig.
I'll have it up on my schedule, but suffice it to say, come on by the Rosenthal and enjoy the music Saturday nights. I'm really psyched to do this!
To those who might be offended by a particular POV I have:
As long as you define yourself by the limitations of this reality, whether it be gender, race, sexuality, nationality, political ideology, or religion, you will never fully realize the infinite, limitless being you truly be. I may have a male body of Pacific Islander/Asian decent who prefers the female form to play with. But I, as a being, have existed through an infinite number of lifetimes, experiencing everything there ever has been experienced. The true reality of what's going on around and within us has barely been comprehended by the human mind. And while I sometimes choose to see myself as finite, I am an infinite being and I see you as one, too (while you may never choose to let go of limitations, I choose to see your possibilities).
So, if you think I'm being sexist, or insensitive, or narrow minded, go fuck yourself.
hahaha… Sometimes, I make myself laugh. :-P
UNPOPULAR OPINION WARNING: Choosing Reaction Over Thoughtful Consideration Is A Bullshit Ignorant Move
There's a meme going up with some high school girls wearing shirts that look like they spell out the n-word. It has their names listed, clearly with the attempt to publicly shame them. It's being shared and I'm guessing it's going to go viral soon.
I find this to be terribly distasteful and dangerous. Not the act itself, but this campaign to ruin their lives. First of all, we don't know the whole story. Until we do, can we hold off on trying to hurt people because they are disagreeable? Second, if you choose to share it and contribute to irreparably harming these people's reputation you don't know without gathering all the facts and the story turns out to be different than what you thought it would, are you going to spend the same amount of energy trying to reverse you actions? Third, there once was a time when people were allowed to make mistakes, learn from them, and become better people. When you repost this, are you basically saying that time is over and no one is allowed to be forgiven and have a chance to be better?
Lying in a hospital bed over two nights... Asking the same question...
I ask it all the time. But when one is lying in a hospital bed having just been diagnosed with blood clots in both legs when they thought there were going to be at a table read for a pilot TV show with execs in the room, it's a particularly effective question: What's right about this I'm not getting?
When I arrived in my room, not really having much info other than, "You have to go to the hospital right now," I took a pic and posted it on FB. My sister, met me there and had already posted something. I was told the doctor was going to be there. He wasn't. I was going to be injected with a blood thinner, but no IV treatment. Wasn't this serious? What's right about this I'm not getting?
The nurse comes in to take my blood at 5am. I'm still all woozy from the lack of sleep, though I had time to myself that I haven't had in a little while. I wrote 4 new riffs, worked on some charts, played some video games, basically chilled and created. After she jabs me in the arm and walks out, I check my phone. Oh, more than a few notifications that people were commenting on my hospital visit. So tired… I'll read this when I'm awake. What's right about this I'm not getting?
When I finally get up, a cute Filipino nurse tells me she's there to help me. I get online and friends from all parts of my life, from all over the world are sending me healing thoughts and prayers. I'm not 100% sure if this situation is serious enough, but apparently a bunch of people have been affected by something like this and have had far worse experiences than mine. I get my hospital breakfast, which is typically awful. This one lived up to expectation. But for me, these hospital meals remind me of when I'd visit my mom or dad at work and they'd take me to the cafeteria. There are very few things that make me this nostalgic for my folks. I think I'll give them a call later. What's right about this I'm not getting?
I hop back online to see what's up and friends from my trip to Seattle start messaging me. One spends 30 minutes helping me see something I've had trouble seeing before: How other people see me. She tells me they adore me. That I'm loved and super talented. And that she's really grateful to be in my life. I'm completely blown away. She points out how many people have wished me well and how many people I impacted in Seattle. I'm completely blown away by this. And I sit there and ask my body to receive all the contribution that was coming my way from the universe. I start to cry. What's right about this I'm not getting?
I'm waiting for my CT scan, but it's delayed for some reason. What's supposed to take 30 minutes was now taking 2 hours. When I got back to the room, even more people have commented on FB. I had a bunch of text messages asking if I was ok. Some voicemails. People wondering if this is going to affect my next cruise ship contract. And I start to realize, if it did, it would be ok. I'd get to spend more time in LA with my music mentor, go on auditions, and start booking summer gigs all around SoCal. My sister shows up with my two favorite people in the world, my niece and nephew. They are very cute. One becomes super annoying. The other, super removed and funny. I love them both so much. What's right about this I'm not getting?
The doctor finally comes in and tells me what's going on and what he thinks is going on. He says the treatment is the same despite not knowing exactly how this came about. But it's all good news and I'm going to be fine. I go to tell my parents who are so happy. I text everyone back. Everyone's relieved. I call an amazing person I just met who charms me on the phone. She's also a medical professional, so she asks all these questions and knows what's up. I get off the phone with her, have a lovely tuna salad, check FB. Even more people telling me they have my back. What's right about this I'm not getting?
Now I'm back in the hospital bed. Due to insurance regulations, it's faster and easier for me to stay an extra night for a CT scan than just go home and come later. I've got my guitar, laptop, iPads and a really great night nurse who's a great personification of the entire staff. My eyelids are getting heavier as I punch out these last words knowing a little bit more how much luckier I am than most to have a great batch of people who care about me. That my body has gotten some answers it didn't have before. And I'm really excited about life and what's to come, what I choose to create, and what the universe is ready to gift to me what I've been asking for for a long time.
So, what's right about all this I'm not getting? :-)
Not So Much Sleepless, But Certainly Up Late In Seattle
It's 1am and I'm in my favorite city in the US. I've got to be up at 7:30am for a class in the morning, though that has more to do with the fact I want to make myself breakfast and have plenty of time to go to the hotel. My eyes are heavy and my legs are tired from all the walking around town. But even in this state of mind, I can't help thinking how badly I love this city. Could I live here? Is this where I'm supposed to be this summer? What else is possible?
There are several things about this city that are amazing. One, the high quality of seafood is dreamy. Straight dreamy, son. Just ridiculous. The International District is filled with dope Japanese and Chinese restaurants. Food is straight banging in this town. Second, the town is filled with, what my sisters have nicknamed, "Mikey girls." That is to say, girls with a presence about themselves who are artsy and inclined to a more open mindset. Plus, they tend to have died their hair a funky color at least once in their lives. They wear scarves, glasses, have a few tats. They tend to be really chill, open to possibilities. Plus they dig musicians.
What is this telling me? What else is possible? :-)

The third season of "Orphan Black," the binge-worthy thriller in which Tatiana Maslany plays more than five clones (and counting), arrives on Amazon. And celebrate the holiday with Judy Garland and Fred Astaire in the movie musical "Easter Parade."
What's Streaming
ORPHAN BLACK on Amazon. It seems that every time the clone club sisterhood — different characters all played by a versatile Tatiana Maslany — gets closer to uncovering the truth about its origins, a new layer of mystery creates complications that throw the women's lives into turmoil all over again. At the end of the second season, they discovered that they weren't the only clones created in secret; there was a group of highly trained male clones made for a top-secret military initiative called Project Castor. The intrigue and breakneck pace of this series lend themselves to binge watching. Good thing the entire season is available. (Image: Ms. Maslany, center)
What's on TV
FACE THE NATION 10:30 a.m. on CBS. John Dickerson sits down with Secretary of State John Kerry to discuss the American response to the bombings in Brussels. Other guests include Representative Michael McCaul, Republican of Texas, and John Miller, deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism for the New York City Police Department.
THE OPEN MIND 3:30 p.m. on World. Becca Heller, a founder and the director of the International Refugee Assistance Project, discusses the global migration crisis.
GRANDCHESTER 9 p.m. on PBS. This mystery series returns for a second season of crime-solving with the vicar Sidney Chambers (James Norton) and his friend, the longtime cop Geordie Keating (Robson Green). In the premiere, they find a dead 15-year-old girl and investigate her father, a photographer and school friends. At 10 p.m., "Mr. Selfridge," in which Jeremy Piven plays the flamboyant entrepreneur behind Selfridges department store, returns for its fourth season. The first episode shows Mr. Piven's character, Harry, enjoying himself in the heart of the Roaring Twenties. (Image: Mr. Norton, left, and Mr. Green)
EASTER PARADE (1948) 8 p.m. on TCM. Judy Garland, Fred Astaire, Irving Berlin — this movie was made to please. More than that, it immortalized the New York tradition of donning bonnets and parading up Fifth Avenue on Easter morning. As the Berlin song goes, "Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet/And of the girl I'm taking to the Easter Parade." (The parade, which is still held, runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.) The film, Thomas M. Pryor wrote in his review for The New York Times, "may not strike the perfect balance between song-dance interludes and story, but it's an appealing show just the same." (Image: Ms. Garland and Mr. Astaire)
GIRLS 10 p.m. on HBO. Marnie runs into someone from her past while on a walk after getting into a fight with her husband, Desi. "Togetherness," at 10:30 p.m., has its own blast from the past as Alex and Brett get help from an unwelcome, familiar face. And Tina becomes more proactive, while Michelle challenges Anna at a school fund-raiser. Time is running out for these characters to find their bliss: HBO recently said that the series has been canceled and will end April 10.

This is a fantastic 1988 British drama film set in 1940's and 1950's Liverpool.
The story follows a working class family headed by an angry and abusive father (played by the excellent Pete Postlethwaite), his wife, and three children.
The film is split into two parts, with the first part called "Distant Voices" and the second "Still Lives". Each part jumps around in the past, present, and future, and does it quite well, although some may find it confusing.
A central part of the story, apart from being about a family that has to deal with a difficult father, is singing. Most of the cast are singing at some point, or are all singing together at home, or together down at the pub with their friends. This is pre-rock 'n' roll, so the songs are old-timey. The film's timeline ended probably just on the cusp of the birth of rock 'n' roll, and I was actually expecting to hear Bill Haley or Fats Domino at the end. Some of the actors and actresses were very good singers.
Everything about this is superbness, and I find it hard to criticise it in any way. Some may find this to be a bit depressing, especially the scenes involving the father who is mostly in a bad mood, and what his suffering wife has to go through. But, I found it to be beautiful and unforgettable.
Score: 10/10
Film count 2018: 53

All About Algorithms: 8 Ways Brands Can Adapt to Facebook's Ever-Changing News Feed
It was the algorithm change heard round the world…the brand marketing world, that is.
In January, Facebook announced big changes to its News Feed algorithm, which will now prioritize content from friends, family, local news and groups over that from brands, businesses and media companies. Think: less Buzzfeed listicles or Tasty cooking videos and more photos of your best friend's trip to Europe.
But wait, WHY?!
The change comes as part of a larger shift in Facebook's focus, from helping users find relevant content to helping them have more meaningful social interactions.
In a post announcing the news, Mark Zuckerberg shared, "The research shows that when we use social media to connect with people we care about, it can be good for our well-being. We can feel more connected and less lonely, and that correlates with long term measures of happiness and health. On the other hand, passively reading articles or watching videos – even if they're entertaining or informative – may not be as good… At its best, Facebook has always been about personal connections. By focusing on bringing people closer together -- whether it's with family and friends, or around important moments in the world – we can help make sure that Facebook is time well spent."
It's worth noting that Facebook has also caught a lot of slack in the past year and a half, being called out by critics (and Congress) for allowing the spread of hate speech, fake news and other unwanted content.
We'll let you decide for yourselves if that played a role in the algorithm adjustment. But regardless of the "why," the question that's on everyone's mind now is, "what does this mean for my brand?"
Here's what the Facebook algorithm change means for you and your business.
First, and arguably most importantly, you should expect to see a significant decrease in your organic reach over the next few months as the algorithm changes roll out. More and more, Facebook will prioritize engaging content from your fans' friends, families and local news sources over your company's unpaid posts.
This is nothing new, as Facebook has been rolling back organic reach for quite some time, but the latest update means that from here on out, organic content simply isn't going to cut it.
You should also anticipate your audience spending less time on the platform. Don't get us wrong – Facebook still leads the pack with 2 billion+ active monthly users, but Zuckerberg himself has acknowledged that "the time people spend on Facebook and some measures of engagement will go down" due to the change.
Silver lining: the hope is that, while audiences will spend less hours per day mindlessly scrolling through their feeds, the time they do spend on the platform will be spent meaningfully engaging with content that matters to them.
Now, we realize these changes can be scary for brands that depend on Facebook to reach their audiences, build awareness and drive sales. But don't worry – at Approach, we've encountered countless algorithm changes over the years, and we've helped clients navigate them every step of the way.
Here, we've compiled our top tips to help your brand survive (and thrive) on Facebook, despite the latest algorithm changes.
- Invest in Paid Media
As of right now, organic brand content will be deprioritized on Facebook, but paid content will not. So, if you don't currently have a paid media strategy, create one. If you do, now is the time to revisit it to make sure it's as effective as possible. Know your target audience and be intentional with your budgets and content to make sure your valuable ad dollars are working hard for you.
- Partner with Influencers
Facebook's algorithm change is all about connecting users with meaningful content that matters to them. The beauty of influencer relationships are that they already operate under this model. These individuals have dedicated followings because they have a unique voice that resonates with their audience. Businesses should look to partner with influencers who have a strong and authentic connection with their brand – and who have a deep understanding of their followers – to spread their message.
- Create Better Content
It seems so simple, but Content. Is. King. Make sure your content is meaningful – not promotional – and that posts are developed with audience engagement in mind. That being said, steer clear of "engagement-baiting" tactics (AKA asking fans to comment if they love chocolate), which will turn audiences off and quickly be demoted in the News Feed. When in doubt, ask yourself if your post is likely to spark conversation or comments from your fans. If the answer is "yes," post away.
- Get Your Followers Talking
Users are more likely to see your content if their friends and family are commenting on it. Go beyond the baseline engagement tactics on your posts – answering questions, addressing concerns, liking comments – to actively generate conversations in the comment thread.
- Invest Time in Facebook Groups
Facebook Groups are a natural tool for building meaningful connections with users. Look for new ways to engage fans in groups – such as 'super fan' groups – to increase engagements and interactions with these important audiences. If you're new to Facebook Groups, this article can help you get started.
- Go Live
Videos – and live videos in particular – are still favored by the new algorithm. In his post announcing the algorithm changes, Zuckerberg hinted that live videos are the way to go, mentioning that they've "seen people interact way more around live videos that regular ones." And he wasn't kidding. Live videos, on average, bring in six times as many interactions as regular videos. Let the streaming commence.
- Leverage Chat Bots
Chat bots and messaging have been a major focus for Facebook and marketers lately. Chat bots, or messenger bots, are autonomous digital messages that can provide automated response, answer questions and be programmed with Artificial Intelligence. Try using them to improve customer service and drive engagements with new and existing fans.
- Enlist the Help of an Agency
Now more than ever, it's not enough to simply have a social media presence. You have to properly build and manage each platform. If your company currently sees social media management as a secondary focus or a responsibility to leave to an intern, you're likely to struggle with the latest algorithm changes. Partnering with an experienced agency can help ensure you're being deliberate and thriving with your strategy, particularly when it comes to paid advertising and audience engagement.

Global interpreter platform is an internet-based tool for language service providers to manage face-to-face interpretation requests. Today due to the advanced technology entrepreneurs and business owners have been able to expand their business internationally through the use of global interpreter platform. Organizations who have had the opportunity to be able to expand their markets used to have it difficult in terms of communication with the foreign market due to the fact that they speak different languages but as a result of the global interpreter platform they have been able to use this as an advantage to themselves since they can capture the external market without worries In this discussion we are going to look at some of the merits that have been brought about as a results of the availability of the global interpreter platform.
The association of our smartphones and the global interpreter platform at www.boostlingo.com has really made our work even much easier because we can be able to access interpretation at any given time of the day or night because the platform is mobile friendly and we can get it as long as we have our phones with us, and we regularly have our phones with us. The use of the global interpreter platform not only gives you convenience in terms of accessibility but it also saves you on the cost because it is much cheaper than hiring an interpreter to do the interpretation for you. The fact that we are able to carry this platform everywhere we go in our smartphones, ensures that work will always flow and we will not have complaints from our clients due to delays in terms of interpretation.
Hiring of interpreters from www.boostlingo.com whenever an organization wants interpretation to be done has proven to be quite of a hustle and tiring if the interpreter cannot be found, for this reason, global interpreter platform has been able to solve this with just a software which is able to solve interpretation whenever you may need it.
The global interpreter platform has sorted out the issue of language barrier because now we are able to even video call and talk to each other in different languages but at the same time be able to understand one another and communicate. Today speaking different languages is not a barrier or a hinder to doing business or communicating, this is clearly seen because the global interpreter platform has enabled us to be able to communicate with each other no matter what language we are speaking.

On every Baskeet farm, a small section is covered with coffee trees. The trees provide coffee leaves and coffee beans, and, of course, wood when they are felled. They also offer shade to other plants growing underneath. The picture below shows a Baskeet farm: The coffee trees (in dark green) encircle the front yard.
Like many other groups in the South of Ethiopia, the Baskeet produce two different coffee drinks: a drink made from coffee beans and a drink made from coffee leaves. Today's post will take a look at the Baskeet leaf coffee.
Leaf coffee
The Baskeet word wayttsi has two meanings: 'ear' and 'leaf'. Therefore, the local name (buni waytts) for the drink made from coffee leaves can either be translated as 'ear coffee' or 'leaf coffee'. Leaf coffee is prepared daily, sometimes several times. It is the most common non-alcoholic drink in Baskeet. Served with boiled tubers (potatoes, sweet potatoes, yam, taro) or roasted grain (barley, maize, wheat) it makes up a full meal.
Regarding its taste, the leaf coffee is very unlike bean coffee. The leaf coffee is in fact a kind of broth, seasoned with salt and many different other spices. The preparation goes roughly as follows: Semi-dried yellow and brown coffee leaves are picked up from the ground under the coffee trees. People in the town of Laska without a garden can also buy leaves from the market:
The stems of the leaves are broken off, the leaves are pounded in a large mortar and then put into a special cooking pot (called bun ot 'coffee pot') with boiling water.
While the coffee is boiling, the coffee spices are ground on a small grinding stone or pounded in a mortar. Most people grow spices close to their house. In the town of Laska, coffee spices can be bought from the market, where market women assort small bunches of different spices for their customers. Salt and up to a dozen spices (depending on availability and personal preferences) are added to the leaf coffee, among them are garlic, ginger, small chilis (capsicum frutescens), coriander, thyme, fringed rue (ruta chalepensis), garden cress, basil, African wormwood (artemisia afra), vepris dainellii and some others whose scientific names I was not yet able to determine.*
The coffee is drained into a small coffee-pot (called ts'is ot 'drain/filter pot') and the boiled leaves remain in the cooking pot. Then the spices are added to the coffee. Unlike the pot for the preparation of bean coffee, the pot for leaf coffee (ts'is ot) never gets in contact with the fire. It is just used as a serving pot. The ts'is ot is a pot with a handle, a long neck and an opening at the top end.
The pot can be without any spout or it can have a spout without a hole – which means that the leaf coffee is always filled in and poured out at the top end of the pot.
The opening of the ts'is ot is closed up with a ball of dry yam sticks. These yam sticks serve as a sieve and hold back the spices when the coffee is poured into cups.
The leaf coffee is drunk from small coffee calabashes, locally produced clay cups or imported plastic cups.
More about the Baskeet bean coffee ('eye coffee') very soon …

Half a War by Joe Abercrombie
The final entry in the Shattered Sea trilogy will keep you turning the pages! While you could have read the second book without reading the first, I recommend that you read the first two (Half a King and Half the World) before starting this book.
The stories of Yarvi and Thorn are at the forefront once again as the High King's army kills the king of their ally Throvenland. Yet one royal escapes Throvenland, Princess Skara, and her gentle way unites the armies building up to fight against the High King. Only half a war is fought on the battlefield the rest is words, deception and manipulation. Will our three heroes come out of the war unscathed in body as well as soul?
I have shied away from epic fantasy for a while because I didn't want to get sucked into a story that lasts for multiple volumes, each one long enough that it seems like three books in one. This series is different. It is definitely a trilogy (it ends) and all three volumes are less than 1,000 pages combined. It is also very different from any other fantasy I've read. The writing is spare, the world seems to be ours at a point in the very distant future and the unexpected happens all the time. This is war after all and sometimes the actions, deaths and betrayals are completely unexpected.
If you are missing Game of Thrones and want to get completely absorbed in a fantasy story and still have plenty of time to refresh yourself in Westeros, try the Shattered Sea.

UHURU has grabbed all my powers – NPSC Chairman JOHNSTON KAVULUDI says and claims he is powerlessOther Political News, Politics 03:57
Wednesday September 12, 2018-National Police Service Commission (NPSC) chairman, Johstone Kavuludi, has said his commission can't fully discharge its mandate to Kenyans since President Uhuru Kenyatta has usurped its powers.
In an exclusive report published by one of the local dailies on Wednesday, Kavuludi singles out the 2014 amendment to the National Police Service Act and the National Police Service Act which snatched its power to recruit the Inspector General and his two Deputies.
In the amendment, Uhuru was given powers to appoint Inspector General of Police and two of his Deputies.
Kavuludi also identified the Judiciary and threats against the commission, especially during the vetting of senior police officers.
The chair recommended that the National Police Service Act and the National Police Service Commission Act be amended to give their successors power to recruit the IG and the two deputies without involving the Presidency.

The android is the most common phone again here in India and that too with several ranges and features. As far as the price of the devices is concerned, there are phones for every price but if we look at a broader range like 40000 INR then we can have ranges of options. However, there are few smart phones that stand out different from every other in the lot. Here are the best phones in the market that can be termed as the best android phones available for under 45000 INR.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4
One of the best phones available under this budget Note 4 is known for high specifications and quality features. The 5.7 inches phone with 1440*2560 pixels is known for the high screen resolution. The camera is another point where Note 4 stands out different. The 16 MP rear camera and 3.7 MP front camera makes it one of the best smart phones in the market. The phone is powered by Android 4.4.3 Android KitKat and 2.7 GHz Quad Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor. The 3 GB RAM makes it worth for INR 38967.
Google Nexus 6
Google in collaboration with Motorola came out with one of the best phones in this budget. The Nexus 6 with 64 GB internal memory variant is one of the most popular and worthy phones available in the market. The 5.96 inches of screen and high resolution is obviously the great attraction of the phone. The rear camera of the phone is 13 MP and front camera of 2 MP. The Android 5.1 Lollipop and 2.7 GHz Quad Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor power the device. The phone has 3 GB of RAM and priced at INR 34,899.
Samsung Galaxy S6
Another Samsung phone is worth mentioning with impeccable features and sound specifications within this budget. The Galaxy S6 that has already created huge hypes in the market can be availed at around INR 34,780. The 5.1 inches screen with high resolution is one of the best parts of the device. It is also equipped with a good camera and has 16 MP rear camera and 5 MP front camera. The device is powered by Android 5.0.1 Lollipop 1.5 GHz Quad Core Exynos 7420 Processor. The device is also supported by 3 GB of RAM.
LG G Flex
LG has pulled off stunning popularity with this high specifications android device. The phone is priced at INR 35,999 but is one of the best in the industry. The 6 inches of the screen makes it one of the biggest and the high resolution makes it one of the best. The phone is equipped with the 13 MP rear camera and 2.1 MP front camera. It is powered by Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and 2 GB of RAM.
These smart phones are some or the other way best for the use within this budget. You can get many more choices and the device of choice always depends upon the requirements of the customer.

NNPCF Responds to the SEND Inquiry
June 11, 2018
The NNPCF has today submitted their written evidence to the Education Committee Inquiry into support for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). You can read more about this Inquiry by clicking the link below.
In line with the general practice of select committees, we are not permitted to share a copy of the response as it must remain confidential. We are confident our response reflects the views of our membership, the State of the Nation report we produced in May formed the basis of our response and was influenced significantly by our member parent carer forums.

So we gave our presentations on Friday. The feedback in a polite nutshell was: the panoramic composition was a hinderance, the lighting wasn't working, and our compositions looked like "just stuff". So basically nothing we had was working out and we needed to start over from square one. I guess that's probably a fairly realistic representation of what working with a client can be like? Anyway, back to the drawing board.
When we were allowed to go off and start brainstorming, we started spouting off any old themes we could think of, and realised that technically there was a theme that encompassed a lot of our themes: contrast in themes (i.e. having two themes that are in direct contrast or opposition to one another – e.g. black vs white, old vs new, traditional vs modern, etc).
We wrote up a whole whiteboard of contrasting themes, and each picked one to work with.
After playing around with a few different ideas, I decided to go with Physical vs Digital, since that automatically lends itself to a bunch of different item groupings (book vs tablet, board game vs video game, etc).
Ultimately I've decided on using the following items:
Gameboy (digital game)
Card deck (physical game)
Notepad (physical information storage)
I have taken a few test photos to see what kind of angle I might want. I am liking the staging I have here, with the digital items being kinda stiff and upright, and the physical stuff being a little more organically placed. Not sure what I'll do with lighting yet but we'll see. I kind of want something that represents the two contrasting themes, but one of the main critiques that was given to all groups who were being creative with lighting on Friday was that the lighting setups didn't look like any real place, so maybe a boring lighting setup will please the tutors more?

Tia goes home
Tia got to go home on Friday after her scary colic surgery about ten days before. Note her shaved belly and iv patch on her neck. The sounds you hear when she reaches her stable are helicopters spraying crop dust on the nut trees nearby. They fly just barely above the trees.

Wow--what a great video. How lucky is Dinah to have such a mom and dad. Dinah is her mother's daughter, for sure.

I'm glad Tia's doing better, and that she's reunited with her home and her goat pals!
After she backs out of her crate and looks around, she seems to be thinking, "Well, this is more like it!"

So glad she's home.

She's a dancing horse! (And what a beauty, too!) The whole video was so sweeeeet! It's a truly precious moment to witness, the moment when animals show their love and loyalty to each other. They're surprisingly kind. Maybe I'd be, too, if I were a goat.

Tia is a beautiful high strung horse. The goats are darling little devils. I'm so glad they're all together again.

It's been a little more than a week since the massive WannaCry ransomware attack began infecting computers. The attack resulted in hundreds of thousands of infected computers in over 150 countries worldwide.
One reason WannaCry ransomware was so rampant is due to the way it was deployed. Instead of relying on victims to click on malicious links, WannaCry spread itself between vulnerable computers connected to the same network. However, the vulnerability should have been fixed months ago. Are you making the same mistake WannaCry victims made?
How Windows users are putting themselves at risk
According to NetMarketShare, nearly 90 percent of all desktop computers worldwide run a version of Windows operating system (OS). Of those, only 26 percent are running Windows 10. That means that the other 74 percent are running older versions, many of which are no longer supported with security updates.
Cybercriminals used a leaked NSA tool to exploit a Windows flaw dubbed EternalBlue to spread WannaCry ransomware. Microsoft knew of this flaw months ago and patched it with a security update in March. Unfortunately, older versions of Windows, like Windows XP, don't receive security updates any longer and did not receive the patch.
That's why it's a bad idea to run one of these older versions of Windows if you plan on connecting your gadget to the internet. Without critical security updates, you're putting yourself at risk of being infected by the latest digital threats.
What you need to do now
If you are running a Windows operating system and plan on connecting your gadget to the internet, you must use an OS that Microsoft still supports with security updates. Windows XP and Vista are no longer supported.
Most Windows machines are set to download and install updates automatically by default. If you haven't changed your automatic update settings then you should be fine. Here's how to check and make sure:
On Windows 10, click Start (Windows logo), choose "Settings," select "Update & Security," then on the "Windows Update" section, click on "Advanced Options." (Note: the "Windows Update" section is also handy for showing you updates that are currently being downloaded or applied.) Under "Advanced Options," just make sure the drop down box is set to "Automatic."

Oncology-Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. Cancerous cells are also called malignant cells.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Cells are the building blocks of living things. Cancer grows out of normal cells in the body. Normal cells multiply when the body needs them and die when the body doesn't need them. Cancer appears to occur when the growth of cells in the body is out of control and cells divide too quickly. It can also occur when cells forget how to die. There are many different kinds of cancers. Cancer can develop in almost any organ or tissue, such as the lung, colon, breast, skin, bones, or nerve tissue. There are many causes of cancers, including:
- Benzene and other chemicals
- Drinking excess alcohol
- Environmental toxins, such as certain poisonous mushrooms and a type of poison that can grow on peanut plants (aflatoxins)
- Excessive sunlight exposure
- Genetic problems
- Obesity
- Radiation
- Viruses
However, the cause of many cancers remains unknown.
The most common cause of cancer-related death is lung cancer.
The three most common cancers in men in the United States are:
In women in the United States, the three most common cancers are:
- Breast cancer
- Colon cancer
- Lung cancer
Some cancers are more common in certain parts of the world. For example, in Japan, there are many cases of stomach cancer but in the United States this type of cancer is rare. Differences in diet can play a role. Some other types of cancers include:
- Brain cancer
- Cervical cancer
- Hodgkin's lymphoma
- Kidney cancer
- Leukemia
- Liver cancer
- Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
- Ovarian cancer
- Skin cancer
- Testicular cancer
- Thyroid cancer
- Uterine cancer
Symptoms of cancer depend on the type and location of the cancer. For example, lung cancer can cause coughing, shortness of breath, or chest pain. Colon cancer often causes diarrhea, constipation, and blood in the stool.
Some cancers may not have any symptoms at all. In certain cancers, such as pancreatic cancer, symptoms often do not start until the disease has reached an advanced stage.
- Chills
- Fatigue
- Fever
- Loss of appetite
- Malaise
- Night sweats
- Weight loss

The Junior Boks were completely outplayed in the first half by an on-fire French outfit, and after a number of stunning tries and complete attacking dominance, they led 36-7 at half-time.
While the Junior Boks hardly had any possession in the opening 40, they had more opportunities after the break, and France seemed to have run out of gas, while all the mistakes they made also made it hard for them to replicate that flawless first half performance. Despite the loss, the Junior Boks still qualified for the semi-finals, and Moerat believes they can be better against England.
"It was a disappointing performance from our side, and as a squad we are still hurting," said Moerat.
"That certainly was not the way we wanted to start the game against France, and in a tournament like this you cannot be on the back foot from the start and chasing the game.
"But that said we need to look forward to what lies ahead. We need to keep working harder and try to fulfil our potential.
"One learns some valuable lessons in a game like that. So as a captain I would like us to become even tighter as a group this week and to focus on the next job, which is England.
"We will do our homework on them, prepare well, and be stronger as a unit."
The Junior Boks beat England convincingly on their three-match UK tour ahead of the international tournament in the south of France. But despite that, Moerat is expecting a completely different challenge this time. And with good reason. England secured bonus-point victories in all three of their pool games, and that took them to the top of the log.
"We may have played England before, but they will be a much better side going into the semi-final," said Moerat.
"They were very successful in the group stages and they are a quality side, so it is going to be a different ball game this time."
South Africa and England meet in the first semi-final at 7pm on Tuesday, while New Zealand and France play in Perpignan at 9pm.@WynonaLouw

This is my first holiday season ever spent outside the U.S. and it's been really wonderful to have the opportunity to experience it in Portugal. I was really psyched to see that come the 1st of the month, a fartura truck was set up in the parking lot of our Pingo Doce. I'm kind of obsessed with these long, churro-like sticks of fried dough rolled in sugar and cinnamon that are commonly found at most celebrations and festas. I'm fairly certain that given the opportunity, I could injure myself in the stomach region with these.
Something we noticed that was different from America was how Santa Claus takes the difficult route - he scales the walls and then breaks into the homes, instead of landing on the roof and going down the chimney. This poor Santa's been stuck here for weeks, like he just gave up from the exertion.
It's probably better off for Santa not to go down the chimney, because there's no way he'll fit in my tiny fireplace. Plus, fire.
One of the things I didn't notice over here was the presence of any decorations or accessories for holidays other than Christmas available in the stores. I think there's probably a greater percentage of people celebrating Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and other holidays in the US than there are in Portugal, but this is a seriously untapped market.
The Bolo do Rei is a cake similar to the King Cake of New Orleans. There's usually a dried fava bean inside and whoever gets the piece of cake with the bean is the winner and receives some sort of prize, but is also responsible for buying next year's cake. I got this one at Continente, but I would highly recommend purchasing one from a pastelaria made from scratch. I wanted to try this, since it's a holiday tradition in Portugal. However, I'm not a fan of fruitcakes, especially panettone-style fruitcakes, and that's basically what this is.
Happy holidays, good cheer, and the best of noms to all!

Here's a solid option at running back for the Giants:
The New York Giants are void of some key pieces on offense, specifically a third-down back that 'actually' moves the chains and doesn't get injured every other game.
Shane Vereen used to be that man for the Giants, but after tearing his triceps twice, the former Patriot never looked the same.
New head coach for Big Blue Pat Shurmur, may have a solution at running back for the Giants, and no, this wouldn't get in the way of potentially drafting Saquon Barkley.
Shurmur worked extensively with now free agent Jerick McKinnon on the Minnesota Vikings, and he could be a the perfect option to replace Vereen in the backfield.
The Giants are looking like they could be 2017's Los Angeles Rams in 2018… Keep up with YOUR team to ensure you don't miss out on their greatness! Sign up to our FREE newsletter to hear the news FIRST.
McKinnon recorded 570-yards rushing and three touchdowns in 2017, in addition to 421 receiving-yards with two scores through the air. The specialized running back would be an upgrade from Vereen at this point in his career, and he would likely cost less as well.
The free agent would garner an estimated $2 million per-season on the open market, which is far less than Vereen's $4 million he's currently making with the Giants. Luckily for New York, 2017 was the last year of his three-year, $12.35 million contract, opening up a bit of cap space to sign another player.
Of course, the Giants could choose to save the money and promote Wayne Gallman to the third-down back. Gallman flashed serious potential in 2017, showing that he can break tackles and pick up extra yards with his agility.
Personally, I like the value in McKinnon, as he's a dangerous threat out of the backfield and very durable. McKinnon has only missed six games in four years, and only one in the last three. His health and skill alone are deserving of an opportunity with Big Blue.

Praises – Rejoice with us!
Praise God our container has arrived in Ukraine! Please pray for the distribution which has begun.
Andrei Eliseev, who oversees the rehabilitation center of New Life Baptist near Ternopil, Ukraine, was fervently praying for another man to assist in leading the ministry. And God provided! Brother Gennady, who himself was once addicted to substances and freed through rehab stepped forward to assist. Both Andrei and Gennady rejoice in God's provision of a Christian man who has a sincere desire to help others in the same way he himself has been helped.
BIEM's missionary Bruce Tuttle announced that, on December 16, the Pastors Training Institute in Bila Tserkva, Ukraine, graduated 10 students. Their training constitutes about 2000 hours of classroom training and 60 classes. Some of those graduating already have a clear direction for their ministries, but we know all of them have hearts willing to be used in God's harvest fields!
Many of our church planters minister to needy places such as hospitals, senior care centers, orphanages and juvenile centers. One of the women at a psychiatric hospital which has opened their doors to brother Sergei's ministry recently told him, "Before your arrival, it was so noisy (there are many mentally ill people and some quite violent), but now it's quiet, probably because you came with Jesus and everything calmed down. Jesus can soothe any storm. Praise God."
Prayer – Pray with us!
In Central Asia, Pastor Righteous requests prayer. He has seen a number of Muslims come to Christ in recent days. The local mosque responded by stirring up a group of angry men to come and pelt the house with stones four days in a row. He and his 7-year-old son were nearly hit. He's concerned for the safety of his family.
In Belarus, BIEM missionary Nikolai Ryzhuk continues to experience debilitating back pain. Please pray for grace for him to minister despite the serious discomfort, but also for a permanent remedy to be found.
In Western Ukraine, our missionaries Sergei & Vika Skripnik request prayer for their sons' health. Timothy has difficulty breathing through his nose. The feeling is as if he has nasal congestion, but a doctor says the passages are clear. David has a skin irritation on his hands. They think it may be a reaction to the cold, although it's never happened before.
The church in Desna, Ukraine, has renewed their prayer request for a talented believer who can take charge of the music in services. As believers have gotten saved and moved away to minister elsewhere, this has left a vacuum in the church's musical ministry.

I have read that physical touch is one of five ways people communicate and receive emotional love. It is also stated just reaching out and taking someone's hand can be the beginning of a journey. For me holding hands was the most tender moments that my mother and I shared during my month long visit.
As our fingers were intertwined like never before, as we held each other's hands, it felt to me as if I never wanted to let go. It was at that very moment that I became aware of how meaningful human touch was with my mother. Mom's fingers spoke words to me. They told me how much she loved me as I felt her warmth and tenderness like never before.
Every once in a while she'd open her eyes, look at me, squeeze my hand and smile. How I yearned to know what she was thinking, although on this day most of her words remained silent. Suffering for fourteen years, Alzheimer's disease has been removing her use of language.
We held each other's hands for hours as if we were young lovers. Yet this was different it was my mother that I was touching. We needed no words, just holding hands said it all. We both held on so tenderly as if never wanting to let go. Each day thereafter I hungered for my mother's touch, meaning more to me than I could have ever imagined.
I reside in New York while mom lives in Florida. Not only do I miss her deeply I very much miss the caressing of our hands. I miss her touch, her warmth her tenderness which filled my heart with love.
What does the human touch mean to you? Is it feeling the warmth and caring of another human being? Or is it perhaps feeling loved? Is it embracing another person?
Whatever it means to you, for me, it was an intimacy so different than one that I could have ever dreamed I would be able to share with my mother. It is for me a love that has come full circle and now is complete.
"Letter To My Mom" & My Mom My Hero are both available on Amazon worldwide. Ebook, Audio, Paperback.
