To little surprise, Taylor Swift topped Forbes' annual list of the world's highest paid musicians of 2016, released earlier today.
The magazine reported that the 27-year-old musician made $170 million this year, despite her taking a year off releasing or promoting new music. Instead, Swift has been writing music for other artists, such a Rihanna, who placed fifth of the list.
Who made the list?
The singer beat out the likes of One Direction, whose reported earnings, combined, reached $110 million. Adele, who earned $80 million, and Beyoncé, who placed 17th, ranked lower on Forbes' list.
The revenue is primarily a result of her 1989 album and its resulting world tour throughout 2015.
The singer famously took a stand against Apple's subscription service last year as she opposed releasing her album for free. The resulting sales reached 9 million copies worldwide.
Large portions of her earnings, however, are attributed to endorsement deals with Apple, Diet Coke, and others.
Other artists broke their own records this year, such as Justin Bieber, the youngest musician out of the 30 on the list with $56 million. British star Adele reported her highest earnings ever. Madonna, who placed fourth, has pushed her career earnings to $1.4 billion before tax.
Some of the stars are expected to continue with their placement on Forbes' list in 2017, such as Adele, whose tour continues well into next year.
How does Forbes know?
Forbes' list was compiled using pre-tax data from the period of June 2015 to June 2016. The data is obtained from managers, lawyers, or even the stars themselves, along with information from Pollstar, the Recording Industry Association of America, and Nielsen SoundScan.
Combined, all 30 artists made a grand total of $1.8 billion last year.

Here at Triangle Leisure we pride ourselves on offering the very best range of static caravans for sale in North Wales with models to suit all tastes and budgets. We currently have three caravan parks located throughout Wales in Prestatyn and Criccieth on sites specifically chosen for their their rural setting, stunning scenery and close proximity to beautiful sandy beaches. Our family-friendly parks are maintained to the highest of standards offering peace and tranquillity as well as a strong sense of community amongst our holiday home owners.
Here are five great reason why you should consider investing in a static caravan in North Wales.
Every holiday home owner knows that buying a static caravan gives you an unlimited amount of freedom when it comes to planning and taking holidays by eliminating the need to book or plan your destination. Ownership means you can simply get up and go whenever you want whether you fancy a quick weekend getaway or a longer summer break. Our holiday parks are owner exclusive but you are more than welcome to bring along any friends or family members to enjoy the North Wales countryside all year round. And, if you have children, you're probably more than aware of how holiday rates skyrocket during the school holidays making static caravans an attractive investment for parents. With holiday home ownership, you no longer need to be restricted by term times and fork out extra cash during busier periods, you just pack up and go. Pets are also more than welcome to come along so feel free to bring your four legged friends with you.
North Wales is currently going through a "golden period" of tourism and has recently been named as one of the best places on the planet to visit by one of the world's biggest guide books. The region, once famed for its slate and copper mining, has now become a huge outdoor adventure playground for hikers, mountain bikers and rock climbers. Over 10 million people visited the region last year with attractions such as the longest surfable man-made wave in the Conwy Valley, the world's fastest zip line at Penrhyn Quarry and giant trampolines buried in a 176-year-old slate mine at Blaenau Ffestiniog attracting more visitors than before. The sheer variety of both indoor and outdoor attractions in North Wales means there is always something for the whole family to enjoy whatever the weather.
The area is also awash with historic towns, ports and sites to visit including the majestic 13th century Criccieth Castle that towers over Tremadog Bay. In addition, there are several museums to discover including the famous National Slate Museum housed in the Industrial Victorian Workshops that once serviced and maintained the enormous Dinorwig slate quarry above it. North Wales is also renowned for it's incredible cuisine with award winning restaurants serving up local delicacies such as traditional Welsh cawl, salt marsh lamb and a huge range of fresh seafood. No visit to Wales is complete without sampling the selection of food on offer and our holiday parks are perfectly located to enjoy all types of cuisine.
Many people still hold on to the misconception of static caravans and holiday parks as a "downmarket" option when this couldn't be further from the truth. Our parks are all in fantastic condition with a huge array of facilities including free Wi-Fi throughout and an on-site owners bar at Triangle Wood. The holiday homes themselves also feature everything you would expect from modern housing including spacious dining areas, en-suite master bedrooms, fitted kitchens with integrated appliances, thermostatic shower rooms as well as double glazing and central heating throughout. So many people visit our parks and are amazed when they see the caravans for themselves so we highly recommend visiting one of our open days to see them for yourself, talk to other owners and get a taste for the local area.
With prices starting from only £12k, there has never been a better time to become a holiday home owner. We pride ourselves on offering a selection of the very best static caravans for sale in North Wales and creating stunning holiday parks with a strong sense of community that people will want to visit time and time again. As mentioned earlier, viewing is highly recommended even if you aren't 100% sure you want to become an owner as spending time on our parks is the only way to make a truly informed decision. You can get in touch with us here to arrange a visit here or request any further information about our holiday parks and static caravans.

Christmas Shop is now
Here at Keydell we have a reputation for having one of the biggest and best Christmas shops and displays in the south. Come and visit our showroom displays from the beginning of October. Dazzle your neighbours with our incredible decorations for both the inside and outside of your home. Our showroom is packed with a choice of 20 colour themes, tinsels, trees, garlands and ribbons as well as an impressive lighting area. You are sure to find the perfect style for your home.
Nov to Dec
As many of our customers are aware, we added the Woodland Walk to the Keydell Nurseries 'Christmas Experience', six years ago. Over this time, we have strived to improve this experience to make it bigger and better, and have received an overwhelming response from our customers.
However, due to the high volume of people – especially large groups - that the walk attracts, along with the increased running costs, which includes new display items; maintenance of the walk; extra staffing and unfortunately the rising amount of damage caused, we have regrettably had to make the difficult decision to charge an entrance fee for the Christmas Woodland Walk. The Woodland Walk will still be free to enter when visiting Father Christmas.
We sincerely hope that all our customers understand the reasons behind our decision to introduce a charge, and appreciate the hard work, time and care that we put into creating the Woodland Walk for your enjoyment.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience that this charge may cause, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our customers for their ongoing support and custom.
The Management Team
Keydell Nurseries
We have a wonderful range of giftware for that special someone who already has everything else. With books, soft toys, games, music boxes and beautiful water globes, themed ornaments, fairies and nativity scenes to choose from.
Entertain the children with our Lemax village display. We also have inspiring single village scenes for those who just don't have the room for a model village of their own.
Why not come and immerse yourself for a few hours in our Christmas wonderland and help to make this Christmas extra special!
Let our knowledgeable staff help you to impress visitors with elaborate table displays made from our collection of Christmas flowers, or browse to make your own table accent.

Sharn--Did you enjoy seeing my gross display of bragging for the second time? Ha ha ha! I just had to compete with the butt/slippers baby B pic--LOL!

the second one especially is really an amazing picture. he looks so fragile with the cool tones and the little wrinkles on his lip and his wide open eyes
- December 6, 2007 at 6:56 PM
- Jennifer said...
Stacey-Coming from Ace's mom, I'll take that as the highest form of compliment. You have a much higher measuring system for cuteness around that little stud, no doubt!
Michael--Thanks!! :o) He was in RARE form that day--When does Widdle Wan ever appear "fragile" in any light? Ha ha ha!

Ok. Legal work is being done now to officially become "Sharn". ;) It reminds me of when Kevin would say my name, you know, when he was becoming Jello. lol
These ARE great pictures, and I could never feel overload of Landon pictures!! They are professional-quality and so good.
What type of camera did you use?

Jenn, He is so adorable! I love that beautiful smile of his, it cheered me up today. I woke up(after staying up way too late) with a headache and being cranky and irritable with my kids, I can barely stand to listen to them squealing right now, or look at their cute faces knowing the mood I'm in. Landon's smile made me feel happy and now I am going to go say sorry for yelling this morning and give my boys' a big hug and kiss!

The Nine Ways of Knowing has decided to profile some of the amazing women of the class of 2015, and we're so sad to see them leave! If you'd like to be featured on the blog or know someone who should definitely be profiled, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Name: Hye-Jin Yun
Hometown: San Francisco, CA
Major: Neuroscience & Behavior
What are You Involved In?
Global Symposium Student Fellow, Medical Unit Intern at CBS Evening News, BSAR, VISP Ambassador, HEOP Tutor, Class Secretary, Media Relations Assistant at Communications Department, Research Assistant at Affective, Social & Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory, VP of Programming at CUTV, Emerging Leaders Program, Orientation Leader, etc.
Guilty Pleasure?
Greek Yogurt, tangerines, and nuts
Favorite Memory from Barnard?
Interacting with global women leaders and going abroad to Paris with 3 other student fellows, Dean Young, and Professor Gundogdu for the 7th annual Global Symposium. It was definitely the pinnacle of my Barnard experience as everything that I've ever learned at Barnard came together on this trip. It was especially rewarding to see the city through an academic lens and have intellectually stimulating discussions with the other amazing student fellows. Perhaps what made the Global Symposium unique was that it brought together students from various academic disciplines and allowed us to have thought-provoking conversations about topics like globalization, women & leadership, and urban planning.
Biggest Regret of College?
No regrets! It's important to take risks and discover uncharted territory.
Biggest Leap of Faith During College?
1. Coming across the country from SF to attend Barnard while most of my friends stay put in California. Best decision that I've ever made in my life and haven't really gone home since I came here. I learned to be "comfortable with the uncomfortable," as one of my greatest friends puts it, and take advantage of the opportunities that Barnard/Columbia/NYC offered.
2. Pursuing sciences/premed and broadcast journalism.

All my amazing friends, my suite + suitemates, opportunity to make mistakes
What Won't You Miss?

It's Not Too Late To Plan Your Memorial Day Weekend
Memorial Day weekend is approaching, which means it is the unofficial start of summer. This is the perfect time to possibly plan a quick weekend trip or even just enjoy the long weekend at home with family and friends. During this time, most people tend to have a travel bug and want to make a quick getaway. To be honest, it is best to avoid overpriced flights and busy airports and save those trips for the summertime. So, instead why not enjoy your staycation, lay out by the pool and enjoy your family and friends. This will also keep your weekend stress-free and affordable, which is a plus. Here are five tips to spending your Memorial Day weekend at home.
By Brianna Allen
Be a tourist in your hometown
Try something new in your own city. This can sometimes be exciting for us because we rarely experience our city as a tourist. Go out and find a new activity that you have not done such as, ride bikes through a famous area of town and sightsee or try a new restaurant or bakery you've been dying to go too. Sometimes we forget all of the great things our hometown has to offer so go out and explore your city!
Plan your summer vacation
Since you are saving your coins by staying local for the weekend why not plan your summer travel arrangements? This is a great time to book your trip because flights and hotel will be cheaper ahead of time since it will not be during peak travel times. Although traveling longer distances can be fun, planning a local trip is another option! Some fun cities to road trip to such as, Austin, Santa Barbara, New Orleans or Washington D.C. all have great tourist attractions and nightlife depending on which part of the country you live in.
Go to a Memorial Day Parade
Even though we have a long weekend because of Memorial Day, it is important to remember the significance of the holiday. You can attend a parade to salute the men and women who have died in military service and honor those who are currently serving our country now. This is a great time to get patriotic while thanking our veterans for their service.
Catch up on rest
We're always on the go whether it be work, school or just busy with life in general that we forget to get our full 8 hours of sleep. Instead of attending Memorial Day parties or laying out in the sun all weekend, you can use this time to catch up on some Z's. Let's just say you won't regret it when Tuesday comes around and it's time to return to your responsibilities.
Throw a Memorial Day Party
Everyone loves a good cookout with great food so kick off the summer season by hosting an outdoor barbecue for Memorial Day. Throw some burgers and hotdogs on the grill and even try a new cocktail or festive dessert recipe for the special occasion. This is the perfect way to bring old friends and family together during the holiday. Don't forget to grab some lawn chairs and end your night with watching some fireworks in the neighborhood!

Sign up for Sylvan's writing program today and find out how our tutors can help your child become a better writer and a more capable learner.
Success Begins with Writing Tutoring
Writing is an essential skill because it's central to a successful education and a critical aspect of practically every modern-day career. As such, it's notable that an estimated four out of five students are less than proficient writers1, and surprising to learn that most teachers consider their students as either "poor" or "fair" writers at best2. When you enroll your child in a writing program at Sylvan, you can expect our expert tutors to design a personalized learning plan that focuses on core writing abilities — and comes complete with regular progress updates, a motivating rewards system and more.
Learn How We Can Make a Real Difference
Sylvan's Vermont writing tutors understand the importance of mastering the basics before moving on to tackle more advanced topics and concepts. For that reason, we provide each child with an individualized learning plan that accounts for his or her grade and skill level, makes use of the very latest educational tools, and incorporates a learning environment that's engaging, dynamic and more enjoyable! In short, our writing program could be the key to your child achieving more at school — and smiling more at homework time.
Our Writing Program Features:
- A learning plan designed to suit your child's writing needs, with writing activities that focus on his or her daily experiences.
- Ongoing evaluation of the progress being made, and regular parent conferences to make sure you're fully informed.
- Frequent consultation with your child's classroom teacher.
- No more repetitive drills! Our sessions are both engaging and interactive.

[edit] General Information
Sociopolitical Documentary published by Others in 2006 - English narration
[edit] Cover
[edit] Information
Throughout history, criminal elements inside governments have carried out terror attacks against their own populations as a pretext to enslave them. TERRORSTORM reveals how, in the last hundred years, Western leaders have repeatedly murdered their own citizens while posing as their saviors.
In TERRORSTORM you will discover that September 11th, the attacks of 7/7 in London, and many other terrorist events were self-inflicted wounds. You will witness British Special Forces troops caught in the act of staging terror attacks in Iraq and see official US government documents laying out plans to hijack passenger planes by remote control. You will learn how the Reichstag fire, the Gulf of Tonkin, and the US-backed Iranian coup of 1953 are all interconnected false-flag terror events.
• Shocking uncovered video evidence and new interviews that reveal undeniable proof that governments plan and carry out false-flag events to manipulate the geo-political structure for their advantage.
• New footage from the historic 5th Anniversary 9/11 Truth rally at Ground Zero in New York City
• Smoking gun evidence that mainstream media was staging news coverage on 9/11—including false-start reports that Building 7 had totally collapsed over an hour before it fell.
• Powerful analysis of Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta's testimony before Congress that VP Cheney was clearly in control of the air defense stand down on 9/11.

In August, as part of our long term goal for the village and community of Chikolongo, The Mlambe Project started working closely with a group called Ecolodgy, sharing our ideas on sustainable building.
Ecolodgy are a social enterprise organisation based in the Thyolo District. They use a different kind of building technique to the one that we use in Chikolongo; using natural stones of different shapes and sizes to build walls and buildings. These stones are abundant in the area and it is therefore a cost-effective way of using local resources to build for local people.
This connection has enabled The Mlambe Project experts to learn about natural stone building as well as having the opportunity to pass on what they have learned about Earthbag building.
Jamie, our founder and trustee, met them last year and was able to initiate a meeting and exchange of ideas and building skills. This led to a group of the expert builders and the two of our project managers going to the town of Blantyre to be trained on how to build stone walls and about how all stones have a face and a base. The training started in August and three of the experts have stayed in the town to complete their training by the middle of October.
Steven Kambalambe, one of the local project managers for The Mlambe Project, explained: "We are excited at how The Mlambe Project and the skills we are learning will help our community to become independent because we are now beginning to do activities that can bring in income'"
The Mlambe Project experts hope to return to Ecolodgy next year to share their knowledge of Earthbag building. There will be houses constructed using the stone method for foundations and then using Earthbags to complete them, so incorporating both techniques within a building.
As Jamie puts it:
''This is all part of the drive towards giving the local workforce skills and the confidence, both to build and also to become self-sufficient and self-run by the locals. This is something Steven and Geoffrey are already making happen."
For example, Steven and Geoffrey are hoping to start building a school block in Lilongwe with an organisation called Building Malawi who aim to reduce dependency on wood fired bricks to save trees (a large number of which are being cut down at present!)
This is precisely the kind of project The Mlambe Project trustees have had in mind going forward. The local managers and workers will use the skills and techniques the charity has taught them to undertake projects for other organisations to generate income and become a self-sustaining enterprise.
As a project, we are aiming to build up the skill set of our Mlambe Project experts, and enable them to have things to offer as well as Earthbag building. This will develop the experts as individuals and also develop the team's overall knowledge bank of alternative building techniques, giving us a broader scope of work in the future.
It's also about furthering our relationship with local partners. As an organisation, we believe that having collaborative relationships with other NGOs is more effective than working in isolation, and something we hope to do increasingly in the future!

BSO: Hammer time!
It's been nearly 25 years since the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra brought the hammer down in a performance of Mahler's Sixth Symphony. That was long before Marin Alsop became Music Director, and back in the day when the phrase "Hammer time!" was still a thing, and way back when the U.S. was on the verge of electing a Clinton to the presidency. If there was any irony or subtext intended in scheduling Mahler's "Tragic" Symphony immediately after the election, which many view (wrongly, in my opinion) as Mahler's most "life-affirming" music, well, that didn't quite work out as designed -- the audience had been hammered the day before, and the stunned sense that comes from having been unexpectedly walloped was palpable in the audience. What just happened could have been an opportunity for bringing the audience together in a moment of communal catharsis, but Alsop and the orchestra passed on that particular challenge (those in the audience hoping for such a moment might find it during the coming weekend's performances of Beethoven's Ninth). Instead, Alsop used the epic piece (around 90 minutes) as a dramatic showcase for the orchestra's cohesion and strengths, both collective and individual.
Thursday night's concert at the Music Center at Strathmore was a highly satisfying performance that fell short of being compelling, in part due to Alsop's decision to use the Scherzo as the third movement in place of the Adante, and by what came across as a concentrated effort to steer clear of over-emphasizing the score's big, dramatic moments in favor of measured restraint. Not much lingering on nuance was allowed during the first movement, and it took the orchestra some time to fall in line with Alsop's brisk pacing. Along the way the atmospheric contributions from the cowbells and celesta bloomed into strange, brightly-colored beasts calling from somewhere unseen, yet with a subtlety revealing Alsop didn't want to veer too far off a path straight through the center of the piece. In the second movement she shaped beautiful, grand passages from the strings.
In my view, placing the Adante before the scherzo diminishes the dramatic impact of the fourth movement; instead of giving the audience time to relax in their seats a bit and take in everything that's come before, we're plunged into a long, steady, march toward the hammering blows of fate (2 here, not 3) and arrive slightly worn down before the wrenching, cataclysmic climax, during which Alsop was finally willing to unleash the orchestra in an explosion of tightly-held furiousness. The hammer blows, delivered on a custom-made box, were shockingly loud, and the first one jolted me from my seat. Throughout the performance were notable contributions from the wind section, the trombones, and concertmaster Jonathan Carney.

A Lot Easier To Destroy One Than To Make One
California, College & University, Extra Stupid, Merced, Students, USA | Learning | March 12, 2019
(I'm taking a class on sustainability. We're currently talking about the footprint humans leave on the earth and how damaging it is.)
Professor: "So, our current way of life would only be sustainable if we were able to inhabit 1.5 Earths."
Student: "Is that a problem?"
Professor: *upon realizing she's serious* "Uh, yeah, it is, actually."
Student: "Why? I don't see a problem."
Professor: "Well, do you have another half-Earth lying around somewhere?"
Student: "No."
Professor: "Well, then, there's a problem."
Student: "Can't we just make another Earth?"
(I've heard lots of dumb things said over the years, but I think that takes the cake.)

Simple Truths
Posted by Richard Harris | | Posted On Tuesday, May 18, 2010 at 2:03 PM
How about this one? Have you tried to keep up with the life of Brittany Spears in the tabloids? One day she has her kids, the next day she doesn't. One day she is in rehab the next night she is out on the town. One day she likes this guy, the next day another, one minute she has hair and the next moment she doesn't. It is a never ending circle of self destruction. I am sure not all of what is written is the truth, trying to keep up with the truth is complicated enough. Honestly I give it little effort.
You want complication; think about this one a minute. Try to figure out your health insurance. First you have to digest how much your premiums are. Then you have to put the numbers to how much the deductible is for you after which you must compute the rest of what your family owes. Then you have to somehow understand when the insurance company will pay eighty percent, when they will pay ninety percent and when they will pay nothing at all. All I can say is good luck.
Life is complicated and often it is that way of our own making. The world runs at a break neck speed and we for some strange reason try to keep up with the pace. With all of our inventions and conveniences the world keeps getting more complicated instead of simpler.
Yes we need a simpler life don't we. Let's take a moment, sit out by the pond, watch the sun come up, drop a pole in the water and listen to the sweet tunes on the radio. While you're at it, let's grab an ice cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade. Ah yes the simple life, but a tad bit unrealistic.
Perhaps your looking for a little something more within your grasp, me too and I know just where to go. Let's take a nice leisurely stroll through the pages of the Bible, a book overcomplicated by man, not God. Let's sit back and drink up the simple truths that come our way in the Bible, I think these times are screaming for it:
- God loves you. John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
- You are given salvation by God's grace. Ephesians 2:8, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." Grace nothing more nothing less.
- God cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you."
- God gives rest. Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
If you want complication in your life you need not look far for it, just pick up the phone, turn on the TV or jump in the car. For simplicity, turn to a God who pure and simply loves you. How simple is that!
Prayer: Dear Lord, help us to turn to you during these days that we walk. Help us to slow down and look for comfort where it is offered, in your loving arms. Help us to find rest in our relationship with you. We ask these things in the name of Jesus Christ our blessed Savior, Amen.

Wrong Focus
Am I the only one who thinks that the problem here is that murderous Mexican drug cartels are shooting people?
Update: Looks like the sales the ATF made were illegal and would've landed a legitimate gun dealer in prison. Ok, we can get worked up about that, too.

They were going to be doing that anyway. it is already illegal and there are already thousands of government people devoted to stopping it (or at least punishing it).ReplyDelete
It is a scandal that the US government is helping the cartel get guns that they then use to kill American Law enforcement people. it is a further scandal that the current administration is doing this to manufacture a statistic about "American guns getting into the hands of Mexican criminals" so that they can pass new laws restricting gun ownership by Americans.
Yes, criminals acting like criminals is a problem, but not a new problem. The government acting like criminals is a scandal and the real issue here.
If the Mexican people want to have fewer drug cartels shooting them, one might suggest that they do something about it. If we are going to help one side or the other, why would it be the cartels?ReplyDelete
Even with the F&F guns, most of the guns that the cartels are using are not American. Even with the F&F guns, most of the guns from the USA that the cartels have been using are not F&F guns but from the Defense Dept. We send various military weapons to Mexico, then Mexican soldiers desert to the cartels, bringing their shootin' irons. Then the DOD sends more hardware, lather, rinse and repeat.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 26, 2011 at 9:41 AM
Peter, you are looking at the larger problem, which is also the older problem. It is one thing when we sell the government of Mexico guns to fight the drug cartels and then those guns get sold by the Mexican government to the cartels. it is a completely different animal when the US government, in violation of its own laws, coerces gun stores to participate in straw purchases, and uses federal employees to assist in smuggling, for the expressed purpose of getting the guns into the hands of criminals in Mexico and for the larger purpose to influence domestic American political agendas. And they don't care how many people get killed along the way.ReplyDelete
