Enchanted April
has long been considered one of the best
character driven
stories ever penned by a female.
While some might consider this Broadway play a woman's saga, it is so well acted that men ought to be able to comprehend the message.
There are no outrageous theatrical effects. The only shots fired are the emotional ones, muffled inside the women who are struggling with their reality - the gods have used them in life's game of bait and switch.
The location could be anywhere. This timeless book happens to be set in England moving to an Italian Villa during the 1920s. Lotty Wilson and Rose Arnott are two proper, middle-class Englishwomen resigned to their staid lives and passionless marriages. One day, Lotty sees an advertisement for the vacation of a lifetime; a month's stay at a villa overlooking the Italian Riviera.

Lotty and Rose rent the villa. Strapped for money they decide to share expenses with two additional companions - an austere dowager and a titled socialite. At first the ladies are wary of each other and unsure of their roles at the villa. But the idyllic hideaway holds a special magic, and as friendships flourish and hopes reawaken the four discover romance, hope and, ultimately, liberation.

The excellent cast includes Jayne Atkinson, Molly Ringwald, Elizabeth Ashley, Michael Cumpsty, Patricia Connoly, Dagmara Dominczyk, Daniel Gerroll and Michael Hayden.
Atkinson, delivering what deserves to be an award winning performance, plays Lotty, the sheltered English housewife who, as the property of her attorney husband, brilliantly played by Michael Cumpsty, is used to benefit his career.
Ringwald is the ever hopeful Rose. While her strict moral code disapproves of her husband, played by Daniel Gerroll, writing naughty historical novels under a pseudonym, she manages to always see life's glass as half full. Dagmara Dominczyk is Lady Caroline Bramble, the gorgeous socialite who, in her need for love, has settled for sex. Ashley is Mrs. Graves, the prideful matron who is accustomed to ruling everyone's roost.

This Broadway show is the latest incarnation of what began as the 1921 novel
by Elizabeth von Armin - one of the many lovers taken by author H.G. Wells.
There have been two movie versions. The first was released in March of 1935. It was adapted by Samuel Hoffman and Ray Harris from a radio dramatization by Kane Campbell, which in turn was adapted from the novel. The film was directed by Harry Beaumont and starred Ann Harding, Frank Morgan, Katherine Alexander, and Reginald Owen.
The 1992 movie starred Miranda Richardson, Joan Plowright, Polly Walker, Josie Lawrence, Alfred Molina and Jim Broadbent. The effort received Academy Award Nominations including a Best Supporting Actress for Joan Plowright's portrayal of Mrs. Graves.

The original book and both movies were criticized for having too long of an English set-up before moving to the Villa. No doubt this play will receive the same criticism. This work - no matter what form taken - has never been a high speed car chase. It's about four women with drastically different lives who have the same emotional needs.
Enchanted April
speaks to
women. See the show, read the book or rent the movie. There is a reason this work has been popular for over eighty years.
Book by Matthew Barer. Directed by Michael Wilson. Tony Straiges sets. Jess Goldstein costumes. Rui Rita lighting design. John Gromada composer and sound designer.
Jeffrey Richards, Richard Gross, Ellen Berman, Irv Welzer and Fred Vogel produce.
Officially opened April 29 at the Belasco Theatre, NYC.
This eagerly anticipated revival with a book by Arthur Laurents, music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, suggested by the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee starring Bernadette Peters officially opened May lst. As late as the afternoon of opening night officials were trying to fill the theater seats.
Hawking telecharge purchases official E-mail flyers stated:
"CELEBRATE THE OPENING WITH US! Curtain up on GYPSY tonight at 6:30 PM sharp! The highly anticipated revival of Gypsy - starring two-time Tony Award winner Bernadette Peters - opens TONIGHT at the Shubert Theatre and there a just few tickets left available for purchase!"
Tickets, by the way, are $100.
In a role that Ethel Merman carved in stone on stage and Rosaline Russell on film, Peters transforms into her own dimension. You either will or won't accept her in the role. That decision will be personal with each customer. The overwhelming majority should find Peters wears the part well. After all, real stagemothers come in all ages, coloring, sizes and voice pitches. If your blinders focus on Merman or Russell, then Peters isn't going to open a closed mind. If you are game to experience a revival and enjoy it on its own terms, then Peters paves her own road, hushing all who thought she might be wrong for the part. Virtually everyone knows the storyline, which hasn't changed. The Jule Style/Stephen Sondheim score is peerless. Seeing the show is one of the reasons to come to New York this summer.
Sam Mendes does an excellent job directing the cast which includes; Bernadette Peters (Rose), John Dossett (Herbie), Tammy Blanchard (Louise), Addison Timlin (Baby Louise), Heather Tepe (Baby June), Kate Reinders (June), William Parry (Pop and Kringelein), David Burtka (Tulsa), Julie Halston (Miss Cratchitt and Electra), Heather Lee (Tessie Tura), Kate Buddeke (Mazeppa), Michael McCormick (Uncle Jocko and Cigar) and Brooks Ashmanskas (Mr. Goldstone and Pastey).

Composed by Marc Shaiman with John Hill. Lyrics by Shaiman and Scott Wittman. Book by Mark O' Donnell and Thomas Meehan. Based upon the New Line Cinema film written and directed by John Waters, is running on Broadway and preserved on CD by Sony Classic. It's impossible to see the upbeat show or listen to the CD without being effused with a positive attitude.
One of the first productions to open on Broadway this season and with a CD released shortly thereafter,
will be up for a slew of theatrical awards. Officials are concerned that since the production opened at the beginning of the season, voters might overlook the show in favor of more recently mounted production. Delightful to remember,
to forget. The musical is infectious.
Larger than life - be it costumes, hair or songs - it's campy, zingy, upbeat.

Sir John and Lady Olliff-Cooper
not just the best and classiest reality show on television - this series is some of the best television of this or any season. It premiered on PBS last Monday-Wednesday, April 28-30. It needs to be repeated and is available on video.
A fascinating look at the rigid social hierarchy of Edwardian Britain, this six-part cultural-reality series documents the experiences of real-life, modern people living in another historic time period that is authentically re-created.
The 19 British participants in
Manor House,
chosen from nearly 8,000 applicants, were each given rulebooks based on household manuals and etiquette guides of the day.
Twelve servants work around the clock to keep life in a rural Edwardian mansion running smoothly while tending to the five members of the "aristocratic" Olliff-Cooper family.
Living in cramped quarters, the servants have no time off and are forbidden such basic freedoms as fraternizing or choosing when to take their weekly bath. When a member of the aristocratic family passes them, they must avert their eyes and do their best to become invisible. The experiment, representing the years 1905 to 1914, was conducted for three months.
Mr. Edgar serving Sir John
"The series is as much about social status, interaction and behavior as it is about leaving the modern world and all of its technological conveniences behind,� said executive producer Beth Hoppe. "There are three distinct social classes in
Manor House
� the aristocratic family, the upper servants and the lower servants � all under one roof but living very separate and unequal lives. The house is like a microcosm of early 20th-century Britain, and it's fascinating to see what happens when the participants bring their modern ideas and identities into that situation."
In the role of Master of the House is Sir John Olliff-Cooper, a 56 year-old who, in real life, has run a successful flooring business for thirty years.
Anna Olliff-Cooper put aside her work as an emergency room doctor at Southampton General Hospital, to enjoy the life of mistress of the house - which required changing outfits six times a day and stressing over who would sit next to whom at banquet tables. In real life Anna has been married to John for eleven years and together they have a son, 10-year-old Guy, who quickly tired of his formal part in the production, Guy preferred being downstairs with the help. "I really don't want to be an Edwardian child," he says. "I've lived the experience. I'm getting quite fed up with it."
Winning the role as butler was Hugh Edgar, who delivered an outstanding performance. The 63 -year-old resident of Surrey, England is an architect who has worked all over the World as a Consultant Architect. The Hashemite Royal Family employed him for many years, building Royal residences and a mausoleum mosque for the wife of King Hussein of Jordan. He is currently working on archival buildings in the UK.
As a reality show the plotline experienced some re-writes. The scullery maid quit in a huff. The first footman and the hall boy were found passed out on the estate grounds, still drunk from an all-night bender. And just when it seems that things couldn�t possibly get any worse, the hall boy, Kenny Skelton, and the new scullery maid, Ellen Beard, are caught doing more than the dishes. The temperamental French chef, Denis Dubiard, slaves over extravagant meals and works through illness. He calls Sir John a fake and in a snit refuses to shake his hand at a party for the servants.
It�s hard to find good help, especially when the servants are attractive, 21st-century twenty-somethings accustomed to having their own way and answering to no one. But this is the lot in Edwardian life at Manderston, a 109-room Scottish mansion, which was the setting for this latest in the PBS �hands-on history� series.
Presiding over the young servants are the no-nonsense butler and the matronly housekeeper. And above them all, literally and figuratively, is the aristocratic family living a life of elaborate banquets, a charity bazaar, fox hunt and a big costume party celebrating the nations in the British Empire.
Reading the narration with impeccable flourish is Sir Derek Jacobi.
Next for PBS on the reality front: Colonial House will follow players living as 17th-century settlers over five months.

Murder of acclaimed activist has U.S. questioning massive Central American aid package
"All of us in this work, who are voices for justice, are in danger," Bertha Zuniga Caceres, 25, said in an interview during a recent trip to Washington, where she lobbied for help in the investigation into her mother's death. "We have no faith in the police, in the military, in any Honduran institution."
The administration has sent a retired detective and a Justice Department prosecutor to assist Honduran authorities. But numerous irregularities in the collection of evidence, preservation of the crime scene, autopsy and other procedures have been reported.
As part of the political fallout, a $750-million package of U.S. aid designated for northern Central America — the largest such aid plan for the region in more than a decade — may also be in jeopardy.
Numerous members of Congress have signed letters to Secretary of State John F. Kerry to protest the Caceres killing and to demand an independent investigation. The strongest letter, signed by nearly 60 lawmakers, demanded some aid be suspended pending a review of the case.
"We are profoundly saddened and angered by the brutal assassination of … Caceres, and appalled by our government's continuous assistance to Honduran security forces, so widely documented to be corrupt and dangerous," they wrote.
"We strongly believe that the U.S. government should immediately stop all assistance to Honduran security forces, including training and equipment, given the implication of the Honduran military and police in extrajudicial killings, illegal detentions, torture and other violations of human rights."
Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala must meet conditions on human rights, migration and other governance issues before the U.S. aid money is released, and were on track before Caceres was killed, according to State Department officials. Some of the money goes to training police forces.
A senior administration official who works on Central American issues said a single case, such as Caceres', would not determine a shift in U.S. policy because the White House was concentrating on a broader approach to the region.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in discussing internal deliberations, said U.S. dealings with Hernandez had overall been positive although Honduras remains problematic. Days before the killing, Hernandez was feted in Washington as he claimed success in reducing violence in his country.
The administration has portrayed Hernandez as a credible partner in tackling the region's myriad troubles, including the flood of undocumented families to the U.S. border, rampant violence and drug-trafficking.
That kind of assessment infuriates many in Congress and in the activist community. They are skeptical Hernandez will allow a credible investigation into the Caceres slaying or ease the government's repression of people it doesn't like.
The U.S. approach is overlooking egregious abuses, they argue.
Hernandez won praise from the State Department when he asked the United Nations to assist in the investigation. Critics, including the Caceres family, want the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to intervene because it has more experience in slaying cases.
Commission members held heated closed-door discussions with Honduran officials in recent days, a participant told The Times. On Friday, the commission announced it had asked Honduras to give a special group of experts access to the case in the country.
"We expressed our profound indignation and consternation" to the Hondurans, said the commission's liaison for Honduras, Francisco Eguiguren.
The commission had repeatedly demanded protection for Caceres in the months before she was killed, saying she was in grave danger. She had often predicted — more than 30 times by one count — that she would fall victim to the conflicts that engulfed her and her Lenca people.
Her most recent cause was a major dam project, sponsored by the Honduran government with Chinese financing, that the Lencas said would ruin their ancestral waterways.
Many in Washington see the Caceres case as a potential watershed for how Washington deals with Honduras going forward.
Honduras would not let Caceres' colleague Castro, who survived the attack, leave the country for a month after the shooting. A Mexican national, he took refuge in the Mexican Embassy in Tegucigalpa, the capital, until he could go home.
Castro told reporters in Mexico City that Honduran security forces had tampered with the crime scene.
Under Honduran law, families of homicide victims may have a consultant attend autopsies and are to be kept apprised of the investigation. Zuniga, Caceres' daughter, said that didn't happen in her mother's case.
Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.), influential in matters involving Latin America, has followed the case closely. A 20-year-old law named for him would revoke U.S. aid to security forces implicated in human rights abuses.
During his third speech on Caceres in just two weeks, Leahy propped a jumbo photograph of her on an easel beside him on the Senate floor.
"Why are the world's most vulnerable people … so often the victims of such abuse and violence?" Leahy asked. "I put greed at the top of the list."
The government of Honduras and the company building the dam "were complicit in condoning and encouraging the lawlessness that Ms. Caceres and her community faced every day," he said.

|J.H.A. Macdonald
Macdonald was appointed Lord Advocate in 1885 and was shortly after elected to Parliament. While holding this office he brought forward a Bill to amend and simplfy criminal procedure in Scotland. It was, he records, a "bulky Bill" containing some 77 clauses, and he was advised by parliamentary colleagues that a Bill of this length had little chance of passing. That it passed was then due to chance. The Irish Nationalists withdrew from the House in protest at a government bill on Ireland, which was then passed quickly. Macdonald's Bill was then brought forward, and as this was to be followed by a Scottish licensing bill which had opposition support, this also was pushed through in llittle more than an hour and a half.
Such are the origins of codified criminal procedure in Scotland - no grand plan, and enactment without proper review. In certain respects, then, it is surprising that it has worked so well for so long. but after 125 years of amendment and accretion of clauses it might be time to review and simplify the law.

I've read a lot of articles and books that mention referring to any nerves you may have as a good way to make light of your fear during a speech.
I'm not sure I agree entirely. I personally feel that this is acceptable for social speeches, such as toasts, wedding speeches.etc, but is not something you should do during a business or professional speech. Unfortunately our corporate culture does not look kindly on perceived weakness!
So what do you do if you are nervous in a business talk or speech that you have to give?
To avoid nerves in business speech or presentation, preparation is always the best remedy.
If you know all the data, all the facts and all the answers to questions, you're the expert in the room and you can't fail.
If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail. Sorry, no shortcuts.

PJ staff report
Nonprofits across North Carolina are struggling to keep, manage and cover the costs of contracts they receive from federal, state and local governments, a new study says.
Four in 10 of the 972 North Carolina nonprofits surveyed say working with governments in 2009 was more difficult than in previous years, and 64 percent say the payments they received did not cover all the costs of providing the contracted services.
The 2009 statistics for the state are part of a comprehensive national study conducted by the Urban Institute, which examined contracts awarded by governments to nonprofits to provide a range of services, including housing and shelter, economic development, youth development, crime-related services and disaster relief. [See related story.]
Almost three-quarters of nonprofits say applying for government funding takes too much time, or is too complex a process, and about the same number say they have to spend too much time on reporting related to contracts, or that reporting requirements are too complex.
The changes governments make to contracts mid-stream are problematic for about 62 percent of nonprofits, the report says, and 41 percent say their government funders are too often late in paying for services performed.
The funding that contracts provide often is too little, with 59 percent of nonprofits reporting only limited funding for administrative or overhead costs for programs, and 46 percent saying contracts do not include enough funding for the organization's administrative and overhead costs.
And almost 60 percent of government contracts require nonprofits to either provide matching funding or cover a portion of the costs required to provide a service.
The economic crisis of the past two years has forced many governments to cut back on contracts to nonprofits, exacerbating already tenuous financial positions for many agencies.
More than 80 percent of North Carolina nonprofits have seen investment income drop, 64 percent are receiving fewer corporate donations, grants from foundations are down for 58 percent, and contributions from individuals have fallen for almost half.
On top of that, 70 percent of nonprofits are receiving fewer dollars from state government, 52 percent are getting less from local governments and revenues from federal contracts are down for 35 percent.
To adjust to the drop in funding, 60 percent of North Carolina nonprofits have frozen or cut employee salaries, 44 percent have laid off employees, 40 percent have had to dip into their reserves and 23 percent have cut benefits.
At the same time, nonprofits are finding ways to meet growing needs with dwindling resources, as only 13 percent have made cuts to their programs or services since the onset of the recession.

I was tired after arriving in Bangkok, so I stayed near the Silom City Hotel and ate at the small food street nearby, Silom Soi 20. There are several items I need to buy in Bangkok, items I didn't feel like hauling with me, like some new running shoes, new shirts and t-shirts and other odds and ends. I'll be here until March 3rd, so I started my shopping errands yesterday, Friday the 28th.
But first, my biggest goal was to find some of the protest sites where the anti-government opposition was holding court, threatening to shut down Bangkok. I don't think they ever really shut it down, but several of the busiest avenues in Bangkok were turned into walking streets, closed to the usual heavy traffic of cars, buses, tuk-tuks and motorbikes.
I didn't know what to expect. Of course, I'd read about the tragic deaths that had recently occurred, but I'd also read that the demonstrations were mainly peaceful. I had to go to Hualamphong train station to buy a ticket to Nongkhai, where I'll be heading on March 3rd on the overnight sleeper. So, I decided to walk the few kilometers to the subway near Lumphini Park, one of the biggest protest areas, and take the short ride to Hualamphong in air-conditioned comfort.
I had no idea how big the protest area would be, so I walked along expecting the sidewalks to be jammed with people and the road to be impassable with a permanent traffic jam. In actuality, you don't really notice the protest site until you get close to Lumphini Park, near the subway station. Silom Road is closed to traffic for about half a kilometer before the park, so it's easy to avoid the normally crowded sidewalks, jammed with vendors, by walking down the middle of Silom, an unusual experience on this heavily traveled road. You can also walk above the crowd on the overhead walkway, which is what I first did. Here are a few photos from the walkway.
The atmosphere of the protest was more that of a street fair than a demonstration against the current government. In addition to the usual assortment of vendors on the sidewalks, lining Silom on both sides were food stalls and vendors selling everything imaginable, from belts and baubles and beads to t-shirts proclaiming the protest. Huge speakers were piping in the music and speeches from the main stage near Lumphini and the protesters, tired, but undaunted, seemed to be enjoying themselves, as were the gawking tourists, including me.
"Would I be allowed to take photos?" I wondered. Yeah, it was OK. So, I walked into the area and into Lumpini and took these photos. I always asked first before taking a shot, and everyone was quite agreeable and friendly about it, and I always followed up with a thank you. I was turned down only once.
I really liked the spirit of the people; their friendliness was apparent in their smiles and their determination apparent in their staying power of doing this for weeks on end. Whether their political aims are correct or not is for history and the Thai people to decide. No matter, I enjoyed being among them.
This is the first photo I took on entering the area. The middle guy was agreeable, so I took the shot. No problems, so I became more confident about being among the people. I wonder if the protest banner makers could use a native English-speaking proofreader.
I saw this fellow from far off waving his flag, and I knew immediately that I had to catch him in his moment of pride. This is along one of the side streets leading to the main stage area.
Lots of vendors here. I should buy a protest shirt. Maybe I'll go back and get one later.
Near the flag waver I saw this older gentleman, with his cool toothless smile. I think he asked me to take his photo before I could ask for his permission to do so.
Here are a few of the hundreds of tents where the protesters are living. This is near the entrance to Lumphini Park, which is jammed with tents, shower stalls and cooking areas. I took a few more photos earlier today, which I'll try to get processed and posted by tomorrow.
There are tents set up inside larger tents. Here some folks are enjoying a gab session, staying out of the afternoon heat. I asked the guy on the left about taking a photo and he gave me a big smile and a thumbs up, but he immediately went into "serious" mode when I took the shot. After I finished, he smiled again.
I walked around the park a bit more and decided it was time to get out of the heat and go to the subway station. But, I saw this older lady sitting under an awning. I don't know if she was just resting there or whether she was selling the "V for Vendetta" masks. I liked her smile.
Just one more shot before the subway entrance. I caught these two guys near an "I (heart) Thailand" sign near the main stage.
It was time to get out of the heat. It's been around 95 degrees fahrenheit (35 C) in Bangkok the last few days and I was sweating. I went to the entrance to the subway station and took the escalator down. Wow! There was a sweet, cool breeze coming up from the underground area. Was it ever a sensuous feeling! I thought that maybe I should go up and down the escalators several times to repeat the cooling breeze, but there's a security checkpoint at the bottom. I figured that sooner or later the cop on duty would get wise to me.
I got my ticket at Hualamphong and then took the wonderfully air-conditioned subway to the protest site near the National Stadium. I took a few more photos there, but I'll save them for my next post.
You might wonder why people fall in love with a particular city. Is it the restaurants and the food, the music venues, the sightseeing opportunities or the overall culture? I really love Bangkok and I have for years. It's my favorite city of the ones I've visited. Yesterday, though, I think I discovered why I love it so much. Sure, it has great food, beautiful Buddhist temples and tons of culture. Yestereday, for me, it was the people. Good luck to all of them, on both sides of the political divide. I hope they get this settled peacefully and soon. Please, no more violence, no more deaths.

Improving Sales Technique
Trying to improve your sales technique?
Great! You should always be looking into how to better yourself and the way you sell! Today I'm going to talk about some of the top ways to sell and how to improve your sales technique.
One of the most important things you can do is build a relationship with your client when talking to them. This will require you to not only ask the right questions but to listen to what they mean. Always ask open ended questions to get them talking. and connect with them on similar likes and dislikes.
Exposure is also an important facet in improving your sales technique. This is the age of technology and social media everybody's looking at Twitter updating their Facebook and catching up on the latest gossip. If you don't have two social media pages you might want to get a few more, and with that said always be updating on interesting things. You want to keep peoples attention.
When talking to clients that you need to make call backs with you want to make sure to you have lots of notes on them. When you are talking to them about what they need and want make note of it. This will help when its time to call back, you can check up on them on personal matters as well as the business you are trying to pursue. This will help your memory as you talk to multiple people a day, its important that you put down as much as possible.
Always know what your selling. You want to be able to tell them everything that need to know and more! People always have questions and you want to be able to answer them. And if you can't, always react with positivity. You want them to know that you can and will get the answer for them.
One of the easiest ways to boost sells is word of mouth and the relationship you made with your client is very important for this. All you have to do is ask for a referral. Word of mouth can go a very long way. When a friend tells you something your most likely going to believe and trust them. And when these friends are ranting and raving about how nice you were and they should visit you for their needs. Thats instantly contributes to building your business.

What Are You Wearing?
Even though it is the middle of December, something about the cold weather this week makes me think that winter is far from over (sadness, tears). We are in a deep freeze here in The Windy City and I am dressing for warmth people! And so, I have been wearing jeans, again (one good thing about winter though is I'm so tired of having to shave my legs, and pants totally eliminate this task). Anyway, today I am wearing a pair of 7 for All Mankind jeans that I bought in Beijing and I completely love, a white long sleeved t-shirt from Target, a big, deliciously, warm sweater by Nine West (purchased back in 2001) and pair of boot that I bought 3 years ago. My hair is down and I forgot to put earrings in.
TShirt- $8.00 - Target (you can't see it, it is under the itchy sweater)
Nine West sweater - ? - bought in 2001 (only needed on cold days like today)
7 for All Mankind Jeans - Beijing - 200RMB (that's $25.00 - love the markets!!!)
boots - Nordstrom - can't recall what I paid

Marathons have become a special way of giving back to the community and making a difference in people's lives over the years. One such running event is the Boston Marathon. The 120th Boston Marathon will be held on Monday, April 18, and one person that plans to run in the event is Lauren Rousseau.
No one could ever forget the 2013 Boston Marathon when three spectators were killed and over 250 more were injured from two bomb explosions. Rousseau may not have been present at the 2013 race, but she was still impacted by the tragedy.
Born and raised in Southington, Rousseau graduated from Southington High School but has been living in Boston for nine years. After high school, she attended the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in Boston and graduated with a graduate's degree to become a physician's assistant.
Rousseau was living in Boston as a physician's assistant student at the time of the bombings, but had gone back to Connecticut to do a rotation at Yale University on the day of the marathon.
"I remember just seeing it on the news and being shocked, sad, and scared for the whole community," said Rousseau. "I had friends and family that were there watching the marathon. I just remember freaking out and checking to make sure everyone was okay."
Most of those people were taken to Mass General. Rousseau said she had no idea she would be working a couple months later.
"I saw the team they have and how great everyone works together," said Rousseau. "I think that they did an awesome job in handling all of those casualties. We actually get flowers that are usually brought to the Massachusetts General Hospital emergency department almost every year on the anniversary of the bombings from families and loved ones of those who were lost on that day."
Rousseau has been a physician's assistant in the emergency response department at the MGH for two years now and will be running in the marathon for the emergency response team with a minimum goal of raising $6,000 and a personal goal of raising $8,000.
"I'm realizing that it's a lot of money and very stressful. It's anxiety-provoking," said Rousseau. "I'm not a huge fan of asking people for money, but I think it's really for a great cause. If the people can see and understand that, I think they'd be willing to help out."
The money Rousseau is raising from the Boston Marathon will go towards the emergency response fund to help train health care providers, administrative staff, and nurses in the emergency department to perform drills in the act of any mass casualty events.
"Mass General was the number one hospital that took care of all the casualties from the Marathon bombings," said Rousseau. "They were getting hundreds of patients in just minutes at a time. They need to be able to figure out how to manage so many patients that are dying and are so sick in the emergency department at one specific time. So these drills really help them to do that."
On July 28, 2010, Rousseau experienced a personal tragedy when she suddenly lost her best friend, Melanie Rossini, at the age of 20. Both attended Southington High School together and lived two houses down from each other.
"She was a year younger than me, but people would always say that we were connected at the hip," said Rousseau. "We were always together and she was a big part of my family."
Rousseau didn't start her distance running until college, but became very dedicated to running following the passing of Rossini, deciding that she was going to run a half marathon in her name.
Rousseau came up with a 5K race in Rossini's name, "Miles for Melanie," and helped raise over $100,000 through a fundraiser to build a pavilion at the Southington YMCA's Camp Sloper in her name. Rossini worked at the Southington YMCA for several years.
"Ever since Melanie passed, I have made it my mission to always run in her name whenever I run," said Rousseau. "The money will be going to MGH, but I will always be running for Melanie."
This will be Rousseau's first time running in the Boston Marathon.

How do you fancy paying a penny – yep, just one penny – to take part in a bingo game? It's a persuasive offer, isn't it? If you want to know more about penny bingo games, you're in the right place to read about them.
Top penny bingo game sites
There are plenty of games you can play for pennies at Wink. (Watch for free games as well, not to mention other for 2p, 4p and even 5p a ticket, and other amounts under 10p a time.)
Bingo Street
This street is packed with bingo games, including the Bingo Joy area where 1p games are the order of the day. Look out for the £100 Daily Windfall, not to mention the Happy Place!
What are penny bingo games?
Strictly speaking, this term is given to any bingo game that has tickets costing 10p and under. The true penny bingo game is the one that costs just 1p a ticket, so watch out for these too. In each case, you have a great opportunity to play for prizes and it'll only cost 10p or less per ticket.
How are they different from free or no-deposit bingo games?
There are several differences you might spot as you find out more about them. We'll get you started on the right track:
- The penny games are generally available all the time
- They're more readily available than free bingo games
- Players can take advantage of penny bingo games whenever they like
- Free and no-deposit games could be limited in scope and time-limited to play too
- There are usually real money prizes to be won in penny bingo – winnings in free or no-deposit bingo games could come with T&Cs before any winnings can be withdrawn
Can you win real money and are there big pots?
Penny bingo sites do offer real money prizes for penny bingo wins. However, you may find the pots are smaller than they would be for more expensive paid bingo games. On the other hand, they do occasionally provide bigger pots to tempt new players to participate, so keep an eye out for those.
Our top tip: check the size of the pot before you take part
But remember, you're playing for free, so it costs nothing to have a go!
Are these games available 24/7?
Not always. You'll need to check the opening and closing times of each bingo room. Bear the following points in mind:
- Some rooms are open between specific times, i.e. 5pm and 2am, for example
- Other games play continuously, with a new game starting every few minutes
- You might have 90-ball and 75-ball penny bingo options to choose from, so even if one variant isn't available, another one might be
- Most bingo sites count down to the next bingo game before it starts, so it's easy to spot sites that have these games, even if they haven't yet begun
Are there T&Cs I should know about?
You should always check the terms and conditions that apply to any game you're about to play. The T&Cs will include details of how to play that particular game, not to mention any requirements you have to fulfill. There isn't usually anything untoward there, but it's best to check in advance.
Try your luck with 1p bingo today!
Cheap bingo sites offer a wide range of bingo games. The best part about trying them is you can make a small budget go a long, long way. Imagine playing with just a fiver, for example – that could last you 500 games when you're only playing 1p a time!

China's Unnatural Disaster: The Tears of Sichuan Province
Essay by Koey Fung • November 22, 2017 • Essay • 734 Words (3 Pages) • 470 Views
Essay Preview: China's Unnatural Disaster: The Tears of Sichuan Province
China's Unnatural Disaster: The Tears of Sichuan Province is a documentary movie directed by Jon Alpert and Matthew O'Neill and broadcasted in the HBO channel. It focuses on the aftermath of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake and the victims' families. In 2008, a 7.9 magnitude earthquake occurred in Sichuan province in China, causing deaths of 70,000 in which 10,000 were children due to the poor quality of school construction. Since Chin adopts a strict one child policy, most parents lost their only child. This movie records how the parents try to fight for justice for their children. This movie shows that the destruction to the schools is very serious and it provokes the dissatisfaction of the victims' parents on the quality of the buildings. One of the parents mentions that the buildings for the teachers do not collapse, but oppositely, the classrooms of the students almost collapse. The movie points out that there is inadequate mortar and metal rebar in the buildings due to serious corruption of the local officials. Thus, the construction is said to be shoddy and made of tofu. The local government does not give a response to them and even reports a smaller number of deaths. Therefore, the parents go on a 70m protest to the capital of Sichuan in order to draw attention from the government and ask for a reasonable explanation. The local officials afraid that the protest will damage the image of the country as there are many foreign journalists, so they promise to hire experts to conduct a fair and deep investigation. However, after more than 2 weeks, the experts still cannot give a satisfactory result and they just perform in a perfunctory manner. Eventually, the movie mentions that the government prohibits more than 3 parents from gathering at school sites. She has yet released a formal report on the poor quality of construction and there are no government officials have been investigated or been disciplined. Parents are offered 60,000RMB per dead child in exchange for their silence.
China's Unnatural Disaster: The Tears of Sichuan Province is a very touching documentary and it records the real situation of the aftermath of a disaster in China. Not only will the scenes leave you a great impression, they also cover a hidden message that reveals the real side of China. In this movie, it can be seen that the disaster area is very terrible and the degree of damage is very high. The schools become pieces of debris and cannot be recognized. It shows how weak the buildings are and let us know why they are called tofu construction. This can totally reveal the dark side of China which is always hidden by the Chinese government. For instance, the local government reports a fake number of deaths in order to keep her image. In one of the disaster area, 127 children are killed but the government only reports 58 deaths. Another dark side revealed by this movie is the serious corruption of the government officials. There should be enough capital for building a safe school for students as the movie mentions that the buildings for teachers do not collapse. All of these evidences remind the audience that although China is developing very quickly, there are still many issues concerning the people' livelihood have to be improved. Apart from the dark sides of China, many upset scenes from the movie impressed me a lot. One of the examples is a mother talking about how she deals with her dead daughter after the hazard. She says that since the crematorium is overwhelmed, she has to bury her daughter's remains by herself. She and her husband takes their daughter to home by motorcycle at 3am, but unfortunately, the motorcycle breaks and they have to continue their way by feet. When she is sharing this experience, she bursts into tears. This part makes me feel sorrowful. I like how the directors record this issue from the angle of the victims' parents because it makes the audience empathize with the parents and the audience can have more strong feelings. China's Unnatural Disaster should be seen. Many people know that China is a developing country with a high GDP, but do not know that there are still many people struggling to live. This movie can let you to explore into different sides of China and know more about this man-made tragedy.

COVERING THE BASICS Just as I promised my beauties. I'm here for your next dose of Beauty Me This! The toolbox is ready to be explored, but before we get a glimpse of it, let's cover the basics of applying make-up so that it looks good and not cakey (eww).
The most important thing for beautiful glowing skin (drum roll please) is skincare! It helps avoid build up, which can cause acne and troubled skin. So to maintain a silky fresh looking face you should practice the following routine which is utterly dependent on the type of skin you have: oily, normal/combination, dry, sensitive or sun-damaged. To figure out your skin type, take a look at this article on about.com. But first, check out the following Simple 4 Step Regimen:
- Cleanse
- Exfoliate
- Moisturize
- Apply Sunscreen (some moisturizers already have SPF)
Cleansing Try to stay away from bar soaps as they tend to dry the skin. Buy a cleanser that accommodates your skin type and stick to it. Be patient and give products a couple of days. There is such thing as over cleansing my beauties. So two times a day will do. Over cleansing can strip the skin of natural oils that help moisturize. Look at that! There are some good oils after all.
Exfoliate This can be done once a week preferably. Exfoliation of the skin removes the top layer of dead skin skills which happen to dull out your complexion. Try not to sabotage your skin with giant grained scrubs; they are more likely to harm your skin than help it.
Moisturize All skin types will benefit from applying moisturizer. Pay attention to what your skin is telling you—it will not steer you wrong. If it is tight, add more cream than usual. If it's not, apply a little less. Over moisturizing can cause clogged pores.
Sun Screen Hmmm, who wants leathery wrinkled skin? Not I, and neither do you my Beauties! To help prevent premature aging invest in a good moisturizer that includes UVA and UVB protection from the sun's harmful rays. If you are buying a lotion with sunblock, make sure to buy a separate night cream. There are ingredients that are not to be worn 24/7 and will aggravate your pores.
So it's that simple! In just four easy steps you can maintain healthy glowing skin. I dare you to try it.

A special weather statement has been issued for our area, with the possibility of heavy snow later on Thursday and in to Friday! At the moment, some forecasters are having a difficult time predicting amounts of snow expected. In any case, the birds in your garden will certainly appreciate you keeping feeders filled during this return to cooler temperatures. With snow also possible, you know that the birds will be once again looking for food from garden feeders. As well, we all want to help the birds to remain strong & healthy for the upcoming nesting season!

I want to enter some choir music on 2 layers, one for the soprano part, and one for the alto part (I am not good enough on the piano to play it myself). My thought is that I could put one part on layer 1, one part on layer 2, and then mute one layer at a time to hear the parts separately, or leave them unmuted to hear them together.
Is it possible to manipulate the layers like that? I have not been able to figure out how to turn on and off the layers.
The tutorials suggest that there are some helpful options in the Document menu option, but mine only shows "Select default fonts" and "Display in Concert pitch."
I also tried creating a file solely for the soprano part, and another separate file solely for the alto part, and a third file solely for the combined parts. I tried to copy-paste the alto part to layer 2 of the combined parts file, and it overwrites both layers.
Is it possible with Notepad to copy-paste a single layer at a time? Can I play back one layer at a time?
I realize this is free software, but I would love to know if this is a limitation of Notepad, or if I should keep trying to make this work.
Thanks for any help!

Eye of Horus Lazil Blue Goddess Pencil
Eye of Horus was founded when the creators of the brand began to suffer from sensitive eyes and dry, brittle eyelashes. So they put their heads together and came up with a range based on Ancient Egyptian formula. Their products consists of Goddess eye makeup such as eye shadows, liquid eye liners, mascaras and eye pencils. To create the products ingredients such as Moringa Oil, Beeswax, Ricebran Wax, Canauba, Candellia, and Jojoba waxes and Sesame oils are used. However it is the Eye of Horus eye pencils that is the main draw and they come in a selection of nine mouth watering colours. I tried out the Lazil Blue Goddess Pencil which has a smudger tip that allows it to double up as an eye shadow. The pencil itself is easy to use as the tip is so creamy so there's no danger of a harsh look.
The fact that the eyeliner is waterproof is a plus - especially with all this windy weather and random downpours that we have been having. The teal colour is divine; work this with barely-there lipstick and a hint of blusher and let your eyes do the talking. I wore it all day and I didn't have to reapply it so this one gets 10/10 for longevity. This is a beautiful product to have in your makeup bag for those special occasions when you really want your eyes to pop.

Luxfer Gas Cylinders introduced a new range of specially manufactured all-aluminum specialty gas cylinders at the GAWDA Annual Convention in Orlando, Florida, September 15-18.
The new cylinders feature Luxfer's exclusive SGSTM internal surface designed to provide superior gas stability.
The SGS interior is achieved by processing a cylinder through a series of proprietary, time-sensitive manufacturing operations that produce a consistent, better-performing internal surface. Luxfer commissioned an independent lab to analyze and compare internal surface characteristics of conventional specialty gas cylinders to cylinders with the SGS interior.
All resulting test data clearly indicates that cylinders with SGS interiors are superior to standard cylinders in terms of both visual appearance and post-heat-treatment surface characteristics.
Luxfer is initially offering the SGS interior option in DOT and TC-approved 1-liter, 6-liter, 29.5-liter, 46-liter, and 47.5-liter cylinder sizes. Cylinders can be ordered with customer-specified paint and markings, as well as all thread and neck configurations available with standard cylinders, including valve protecting carrying handles and cap-and-collar assemblies.
"Our SGS interior is conducive to better gas stability and improved shelf life for high-purity specialty gases and gas blends," said Orion Goe, Luxfer's US marketing manager. "These are premium cylinders for premium gases."
"With SGS, specialty gas manufacturers and users now have the advantage of transporting and storing high-value gases in cylinders manufactured specifically for that purpose," Goe said.

November 12th
This week we continue our study of animals and their habitats.
This week in our reading program, Wonders, we will explore the question-How are offspring like their parents? While reading, we will review the spelling pattern of consonant digraphs (ch, thc, sh, ph, th, nh, wh). We will learn about the importance of rereading this week, and will look again at main ideas and details.
Next week we will begin our third unit in Math. I will spend some time conferencing with students about their second unit assessment, and will run some review groups. In this third unit, students will learn subtractions strategies that will help them solve math problems quickly. I can't emphasize enough how important these strategies are for mental math and flexible math thinking. While we are working with smaller numbers, the upcoming strategies can be used with any number. The first two strategies we are working on are think addition for subtraction (counting up) and fact families. I have included a link about fact families for you here:
I am excited to see how the student's first independent narrative pieces come together this week. The students will apply all that they have learned in the unit, and we will work together the evaluate their finial writing piece. After this process, the students will then have a summative writing piece they complete.
We will begin our animal research this week, working through the process together at first. We will further research owls, giving the students the opportunity to expand their knowledge and work through the research process together. After that, the students will be able to select their own animal to research.
As always, let me know if you have any questions!

Okay Starbucks, I'm ready to have "the talk." You know, the initiative your CEO Howard Schultz is promoting to encourage baristas to write "Race Together" on coffee cups and engage willing customers in discussion about America's racial divide? Yeah, that one.
So let's talk. I'll start by asking some questions: How come there's no Starbucks in Ferguson, Missouri? How come there's no Starbucks in Selma, Alabama? How come Starbucks completely pulled out of Israel in 2003?
Read More140 things you don't know about Twitter
Now relax, those are all really rhetorical questions. I don't for a minute think Starbucks doesn't have stores in those areas because of racism or anti-Semitism. I know the reason is another "ism" called capitalism. And that's as it should be.
The bottom line is the reason we Americans and American companies do or don't do things is pure financial self-interest. That doesn't mean we don't make mistakes based on faulty readings of capitalist opportunities, but that's the motivation just the same. It also doesn't mean that people in purportedly under-served neighborhoods can't prove to Corporate America that it's making an economic mistake by not serving them. And lastly, it also doesn't mean that political opportunists and media scoundrels aren't using the racial economic divide as an excuse to shake down big business.
So you see Starbucks, I'm not shy or afraid of this topic. In fact, let me just say it clearly: Americans aren't racists, we're capitalists... just like you, Starbucks.
Good talk.

Collection from Fang's Mark
by Shirley Fang
A voice that is afraid of itself
Everything we create becomes an extension of ourselves. When we were kids, we would build the world through lego blocks or create a world made of chalk on the sidewalk. There was no questioning what we were doing. We made for the sake of making.
The process is what keeps us on the path of understanding what it is that we love. Now that we are older the things we create are no longer as tangible. We can put ourselves into words, but we can also put ourselves in others' minds.
Our voice extends outside our vocal cords.
Where Are You Really From? (Oil)
a better perspective
Because my birthday
Demonstrated something
And now, i have placed one ugly into this box. What a great day to start pumping all the ugly into this box. Yes, yes.
#art #because #artispolitical #biculturalidentity
#gaslighting #eradicate #allthethoughts
that was the pain strokes around those letters...
Survival (Acrylic and charcoal)
Having time at Wes to unpack all this trauma has been healing but also destructive to my own mental health. How can you ask me to be the good old productive student like before when I have to expel so much energy piecing myself together? How do you expect me to be enthusiastic about the education I'm getting when I just became woke to all the disparities first in the world and then at Wes? Every artwork I make takes so much energy and time that I can't.. I just can't care…about school. I can't care about academia. I can't care about learning the tools I need to feel strong and defend myself. I'm so tired. I know I'm not weak, but I feel weak.
Mei Ling Fang Sewing on the Bed (Acrylic)
It took me so long to appreciate my mom for who she is and what she has been through. She was never given the attention she deserves growing up. I hope to show her how beautiful and important she is and her narrative is to me and to the world. It breaks my heart knowing that there's only so much I can do to help her heal, but trying is better than not doing anything.
Insular Creation (Acrylic and charcoal, 5' x 6')
The slower I move and think, the more human and me I feel like I am returning to. The model minority myth, capitalism and all these oppressive systems have long enough taken a toll on my body and mind...preventing me from seeing my art, my own beauty, and seeing my thoughts as full-fleshed bodies that can take up space. Deconstructing and unlearning are painful processes. I took this journey because I know it's necessary for me to love myself. I don't even know exactly what I'm putting so much energy in, but I know I'm getting to the core because I can feel my body tensing up and resisting this force that's containing all my energy––so I can deflate..into nothingness.
First deflation.
Then nothingness.
Then inflation.

About Homecleaning.co.za and the owner
Hi, and welcome to homecleaning.co.za.
The reason I made this website is because I'm just honestly so tired of all the issues I've had in the past when it came to finding somebody I could trust to clean my home.
Your home isn't just your private space, it's where you and your family should feel comfortable and most secure. So hiring a cleaner is a big deal because you are letting a complete stranger into your home. Which is why it's vital to only bring in somebody you can trust.
If you don't your family will be vulnerable. And unfortunately that is the reality we live in with the rampant crime in our society.
This website is just to share my quick story and to offer a great solution to the problem. Just to clear up any confusion, I am not providing the service. I am instead promoting a company who is. This company is Sweep South. They have come up with a great cleaning service which is convenient, affordable and most of all, safe.
For the sake of complete transparency, I do get a small commission when I refer somebody who makes use of their service. This commission does not increase the price you pay in anyway, in fact if you are referred by me you get a nice discount. This helps me supplement my income as I quit my job after the break-in and work full-time from home. You are also welcome to search for Sweep South directly on the internet if you would rather I don't get a commission.
I will also be posting articles on tips to get your house clean and in the best shape.
If you do want to get in touch you can reach me at email@example.com
Thank you

Are you stressed out and need a release? Boss got you singing the blues? Well if you are in Colorado, you roll a fat one and as the kids say "chillax."
I am not sure what "chillax" means, but it appears to be a combination of chill out and relax. Seems to me they want to do the same thing twice as hard, which just gives me faith in our collective futures.
With all the stories of legalized weed, I decided to take a look at this topic a little more closely. I first took a look at http://www.marijuana.com/ to learn about this green plant and what it can do. Then I saw some tweets about something call "kush" selling for $400 an ounce and I nearly fell back into the couch and dreamed of easy money.
I mean, $400 an ounce, 16 ounces in a pound, it sounds like I don't need to dream of being Walter White anymore... more like Fritz Haber.
The Green Rush
The gold rush sent tons of people west with the promise of riches hoping that they would "pan out." Today, a similar rush, just of the green variety has people moving west looking to "pot out."
But there are some road blocks in place that are preventing us regular people from just setting up shop in CO or WA. Maybe it would just be easier to buy stock in a company that is already doing that! DUDE!
Recently I have been watching Growlife and how it has gotten so high lately. Then I saw that its a penny stock, and doesn't have a Zacks Rank, so I cannot pass this joint to the left hand side.
Medbox (MDBX) is another player in this green space. They have a little different take on the business as they have a machine that dispenses medication to individuals based on biometric identification (fingerprints).
Dude! What a great idea! I mean I don't even have to converse with another human when I am going to get my fix! But seriously, the firm is just selling the machines and not the green, so this is an example of buying the bullet makers and not the army in time of war.
MDBX does not have a Zacks Rank either. I am seeing a trend here.
I Could Ramble On and On and On
I kept looking for a stock that fits this new green space. But the more I looked, the more I found penny stocks that have ripped higher. None of which had a Zacks Rank.
What does that mean for me? Well that means I cannot recommend a good pot stock. I can only sit back and watch as these stocks fire up as the green rush gets underway. What will change my mind and get on bong... I mean on board, is if some analysts pick up coverage of the sector. Then, with earnings estimates, the stock would become eligible for a Zacks Rank.
Pot stocks are hot, but investors may get burned if they are not careful. The Zacks Rank will help you find the stocks that are seeing earnings estimate revisions, and that insight can help you stick with a higher flyer and prevent you from coming down from a big high too. As much as I want to recommend one or more of these stocks, I cannot, but if there are any analysts willing to do a deep dive into the jungle of pot stocks, I am sure you will have an instant following!
Want More of Our Best Recommendations?
Zacks' Executive VP, Steve Reitmeister, knows when key trades are about to be triggered and which of our experts has the hottest hand. Then each week he hand-selects the most compelling trades and serves them up to you in a new program called Zacks Confidential.

'You talk funny.'
I ran through a list of possible retorts to my interlocutor, a fifth-generation Australian of Mediterranean background. That there was no need for baby talk. That making fun of someone's accent was rude. And that I would rather die than allow my speech to morph into the flat tones of hers.
I said none of these things. Instead I stopped peppering my sentences with the word, ja. After my reference to the car's hooter drew gales of laughter, I made a note to call it the horn. I learned that a jersey was something you found in a cow paddock and that bringing a plate implied putting something edible on it.
I ditched lorry for truck, cooler box for esky, and braaivleis for barbecue. Slip–slops became thongs, robots were replaced with traffic lights, and tackies changed out for sandshoes. It wasn't long before arvo, doco and fair go slid off my tongue as if it had been lubricated with a midi of amber fluid.
I explained that where I came from 'just now' meant soon, but not right this minute. That in barracking for your favourite football team it was acceptable – in fact, encouraged – to say that you rooted for them. And that buying a round of drinks did not involve shouting at anyone.
After thirty plus years, there are a few things I have not embraced. Like aspirating the eighth letter of the alphabet. 'She'll be apples' will never find its way into my speech. And I shall always sound the word maroon as it is in goon, regardless of whether it is a verb, adjective or a Queensland rugby team.
A few weeks ago I played back a recorded interview between myself and another person. The sing -song lilt had gone. Every sentence finished on an upward inflection. The aah sounds were as broad as those of a raven. I no longer talked funny.
