I am seeing how art is helping Seniors in the Assisted Living and in Memory Care Facility here at Alma Via in Camarillo. I have also learned it is not the product that is important but the process of enjoying creations and expressing yourself. Many of the residents have limited dexterity, but enjoy creating pieces that are broken down simply. This helps them engage their minds and stay focused. They also enjoy the fellowship creating within a group and the dialogue and exchange of ideas, but don't we all learn and are inspired by others in a community. Some projects are just for the fun, and other times I like to work with my art therapy training to focus on a theme to help them process emotions. Especially as we are approach Thanksgiving, it is nice to have something that reminds us of the positive things in life. It is easy to slip into negativity when your mind is slipping, and the body isn't moving like it did at 40, but to focus on thankfulness brings health to our minds and bodies. We really have a lot to be Thankful for our friends, family, community, and needs met at a great facility like Alma Via Senior Living Home.
Creative Venture at Elementary School
I have been working at Mesa Union School this year and at the end of the year we put a together an ocean mural designing a variety of sea creatures out of clay and using mosaics to add three dimensions to the work. The Principal Dr. Bluestein wanted a variety of marine life found in our local Channel Islands so the students could see what treasures are in our backyard.
This Tri-typh mural has the Ventura Peir incorporated in the school's bulletin board, stretching out to the Channel Islands and a whimsical sailboat. Beneath the pier is a crab and sea-star on the rocks. The next scene is in the kelp bed and has an inquisitive moray eel, prowling leopard shark, and our state fish, a Garabaldi peering out of the kelp. The last scene is a huge breaking wave with a school of fish, a rainbow jellyfish, and a couple of frolicking dolphins. I am very happy the students pictured below gave of their summer break to complete the final placement of tiles to make this mural pop!
Mesa Union Elementary School is very supportive of the arts and has a kiln room in addition to the fine art program and has a variety of murals around the campus. In a time where many of the arts are being cut from the program, the Board of Directors support the Arts! Hooray, this could not have been accomplished without them. Come see this in person surrounding the play area. We are planning a continuation of this mural coming soon in January of 2018!
Ventura's Youth Art Show winners in 2016
This art show sponsored by Crowell Weeden & Co. in Ventura gave gift prizes and cash awards to many of my private tutors. In every elementary group category, my students and parents were pleasantly surprised to see how their children performed on a county level. Students won cash, art supplies, and a whole lot of confidence! Not only do they see other art pieces from various students, but going to their first reception is quite an honor. It was held at the offices of Crowell Weeden in Ventura with a special reception for all participants.
This year's show is held by D. A. Davidson & Co. in Ventura The deadline is March 7 at 4:00 pm to bring in work. The address is 60 So. California St., Suite 301, in Ventura above the Lure Restaurant. If you are interested in entering go to the Art N' You/sign up page and click on the form to download and fill it out. This year's show goes from March 13 to May 19th. Good Luck!
Cultural Art Programs Enriching Lives
Children's Celebration of the Arts has just celebrated their 25th year of bringing art into the classrooms across Ventura City and hosted an art show at The Olivas Adobe. One piece of artwork is selected from each classroom to be represented at the show. To celebrate our 25th year, CAPS made a video of our program. To sign up for this program, teachers are given a brochure and can select from a variety of visual and kinetic art forms taught by professional artists who share their passion with the children. The variety of the classes are not limited to visual arts, but will even show dance, drumming, and harp playing for the students. For $40, all supplies and teaching materials are brought to the classroom and a complete history and art lesson is given to the students. This beneficial program is made possible by a grant endowment from the city of San Buenaventura. To find out more you can go to:
Over the last 6 years, I have taught several cultural projects including Mexican Tin Art, or "Jolata", Russian lacquer boxes, African Adrinka placemats, Spanish Crests, and Italian Mosaics. It is such a joy to share my love of art with children. I am hoping on my trip to Israel, to present a cultural art project to bring awareness of how many religions here in Israel are working together - those of the Jewish, Islamic, and Christian faiths.

21 billion midges
According to this article, 21 billion edges were predicted for Scotland's 2017 midge season. I reckon that a fair number of them, like me, opted for a trip to Ireland that summer, boosting the already thriving local population.
Those pesky creatures turned these peaceful spots into pure torture, at dawn and dusk respectively.
On my Not To Do list: do not venture here again without a midge net and repellent.

Balvaird Castle has seen better days, but it's quite a photogenic wee spot. It's not far from Auchtermuchty, but luckily also close to Glenfarg, which most people find a lot easier to pronounce;)
good morning Abruzzo
Not my first time here, probably not my last.
Ice along the way, but the walk up to the Castello di Rocca Calascio in the early morning twilight was warming enough.

On November 23, 2017, the seminar "Tax Disputes 2017-2018: Art of Protection and Risk Mitigation" was held in Lviv.
Maksym Voytsekhovsky, Manager, Head of Tax and Legal practice in Western Ukraine, Bednarchuk Halyna, Senior Legal Consultant, Larysa Antoshchuk, Manager, Head of the Tax Dispute Resolution Practice, and Oksana Kochmarska, Director, Tax and Legal Services KPMG in Ukraine, discussed with business representatives tendencies of the tax disputes.
The experts highlighted the litigation statistics, reviewed aspects of transfer pricing disputes, cases and the practice of challenging the blocking of tax invoices. In addition, experts have analyzed legal practice in accounting methodology and accounting policies as a tool to mitigate tax risks and optimize the financial function of the enterprise.
"The absence of an accounting discipline established in the decree is the subject of manipulations during tax audits and leads to an adjustment of income and expenses in accordance with alternative accounting methods. Moreover, as the analysis of court practice shows, courts of appellate instance justify their decisions based on the norms of national and international accounting standards, which should be defined and established in tax policy of the taxpayer. Therefore, the availability of the optimally designed accounting policy is a guarantee of correct accounting and taxpayer protection during the verification, "-Oksana Kochmarska noted.

There are a lot of things I wish would happen in life.
- HBO bring back How To Make It In America for 3 final seasons
- In N Out Burger in St.Louis
- 5 more Seoul Taco locations
- A Ghostface Killah & MF Doom Album
- A Andre 3000 solo album produced only by Organized Noize
- A threesome with Scarlett Johansson and Trina
The one thing I want the most, maybe slightly more than the threesome mentioned above. The most important project in hip hop history. A Nas and AZ album. This album has to be produced entirely by L.E.S (Producer of Life's A Bitch, The Flyest). I wouldn't have it any other way. Shit even a 4 song EP would satisfy my fandom. Nas and AZ without a doubt in my opinion is the greatest hip-hop duo I've ever heard. Yes, over Outkast, Ghost & Rae, UGK, Ball & MJG, Capone N Nore and I LOVE all those guys but Nas and AZ collabs are unblemished. They are easily batting 1.000 with the songs they have done together as a duo. The closest we got to a project was "The Firm" album which was a fucking disaster. Too many people involved. Can't believe I'm saying this because he's the GOAT hip hop producer but Dr.Dre and The Firm just didn't mix or make sense. They should've kept it east coast.
Nas is debatably the greatest M.C to ever walk this earth and his legacy is cemented. He doesn't have to release another solo album ever again. Actually I take that back. Seeing that damn near all of the black community on Twitter didn't know his nickname was "ESCO" as in Escobar for 20 fucking years he might need to release something to remind niggas. AZ is a underground legend who never got the proper respect as an artist. "Doe or Die" is one of the greatest hip hop albums I've ever heard. I just want AZ to get that moment in the sun that he deserves and I think a long overdue collab album would give him that moment. The moment for the unfamiliar to see what us hardcore hip hop fans knew all along. That AZ is a special artist.
AZ did a interview for XXL over 10 years ago and they asked him about a album with Nas and AZ said he's all for it and ready. We never got that album. I don't know if those two had issues or industry politics played a part of this project never happening but man I just wish something happens because I guarantee they both will regret not doing it later in life. Just pick up the phone. Find wherever L.E.S is and just lock in the lab and bless the streets. I actually have a playlist I created named "Esco & The Visualiza" and it's been on my iTunes for 4 years. All their collaborations and my favorite solo records from both of them. I will never get rid of that playlist. 20 songs of fucking crack.
I want to reminisce over the music the duo did give us and what the songs mean to me not only as a artist but as a fan.
The first time any of us probably heard AZ was on "Illmatic." A debut verse for the history books of hip hop. The knowledge AZ was spitting was just so real and raw. Living out the dreams for all his fallen comrades and family. He doing what he gotta do in the streets and attempting to live the fast life because well, Life's a bitch and then we die. Nas spits one of the his most famous lines in his career "That buck that bought the bottle could've struck the lotto." Nas was 19 years old when rapping this shit. It truly boggles my mind. At 19 I wasn't nowhere near as enlightened as Nas seemed to be. It's fascinating. This shit is straight up street jazz. It's the blues but from a street perspective. I've had plenty of drunk nights playing this song just zoned the fuck out. Nas's father playing the trumpet at the end was the icing on the cake. I always wondered if I could rap as good as these guys when I heard this as a youth.
Esco and Sosa trading fly ass bars back and forth for the whole track. I picture them both in a italian restaurant, custom made suits with the high thread count just rapping this shit to each other over the finest glass champagne or wine. This shit was so smooth and street. The chemistry Nas, AZ, and L.E.S share I've never seen anything quite like it. Very rare. It's like a hip-hop version of DeNiro and Pacino. Just two legends showing why they're the greatest unofficial duo in hip-hop. What I like about their chemistry is that you don't get caught up in who had the best verse, you're just into the music.
I believe it's the last known collaboration between Nas and AZ. I love this joint because it's like they ran into each other in the street and just started chopping it up reminiscing about the past and picking up where they left off to head to the future. Back on that fly shit. Fashion. Fucking Actresses. Living like bosses.
Might be my favorite song they both created. They went the storytelling route and it just works. Nas comes on so vividly and you can just picture him tied up by drug lords who used to be his plug, being tortured by them, and trying to escape alive. It's crazy how different they are style wise but how similar they are. Nas is very laid back and AZ is very blunt and bold. Besides "Rather Unique" this song might be AZ's best performance from his catalog. AZ flow was second to none on this track and the delivery was just viscous. He really sounded like a kingpin. This era was the height of Mafioso rap. Between Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt era. Raekwon and Ghost's OBFCL & Ironman and Nas and AZ collabs these were the artists that had the mafioso era on lock.
Nas was in the middle of a war with Roc-A-Fella records and Stillmatic saved Nas career. I always wonder if Jay would've never dissed Nas would Nas career be the same. Jay woke a sleeping giant because Nas career was on life support with his two previous albums before Stillmatic. Nas dropped this gem and rightfully so he went back and grabbed his partner in rhyme AZ to be on his comeback album. L.E.S on the production. This song is so dope because of everything I stated before. They counted Nas out. They thought he was finished. This the last song on the playlist I created and rightfully so. It has that end credits vibe to it. It was good to see AZ and Nas back at it after 3 years. The back and forth on the final verse was so legendary. "We both hard hit like Camacho and Vargas. Who's the target now watch how we close the market mothafucka!"
Salute to the greatest duo in life period. Esco and The Visualiza.

Ok, so I have been up almost all night trying to get this out to you all, so I really hope you guys like it.
It's a Facerig Texture Installer for all my existing textures. As I make more I will continue to update it for you all.
Since I have not heard anything back about how to add them permanently without replacing current ones, it basically overides the "Custom" texture for each character. So you can only use one skin per character at a time.
I made an uninstall button to clean out all skins and start over as well.
The newest additions to my textures is the Taj skins, which I hope you really like. And I made a section where you can use my danny skins on danny shorter snout.
p.s. If you like it please be sure to click the "like" button below, and if you could Rate it that would be even cooler. Thank you!!
Please Enjoy!

Printing with Clay
As technology advances, there is much discussion about the role of the maker's hand in craft. In late October the Ceramics department welcomed visiting artist Bryan Czibesz to campus for a two-day workshop in which students first helped to build a 3D ceramic printer and then used it to execute complex digital designs that would otherwise be impossible to create.
The printer works much like a standard 3D printer, but instead of using molten plastic it extrudes paste-like clay. It then builds the desired form with layers of clay coil (see the image above of work created by Czibesz). A great advantage of 3D printing with ceramics rather than plastic is that the form produced is still wet, meaning it can be manipulated before it dries.
"It's a compelling tool for creating line in a three-dimensional fashion," says workshop participant Dove Drury 18 CR, whose practice is fundamentally based in drawing. And as Czibesz (above) points out, "the hand and technology working together have the potential to enhance your vision and productivity."
Each of the roughly 20 students who took part in the workshop had the opportunity to modify designs Czibesz provided in Rhino and then create a highly textured vessel.

Kendall & Kylie X Forever New
Love them or hate them, the Jenner girls have made the swift transition from being not much more than the little sisters of Kimmy K to being the girls ready to challenge her global social domination. In the modelling world, there's no one hotter right now than Kendall and in the social status world there's no one hotter Kylie. Together they are a brand unto themselves - relevant, cool and so-right-now-stylish. It only made sense that Australian High street retailer Forever New would enlist them to create collection of must-haves and wardrobe staples. From black mini dresses and sleek cropped tops to sheer-leg jumpsuits, the collection is as wearable as it is longstanding. Set to launch in just a few days, the collection is available early to those who sign up for the pre sell and Australia is about to get a serious dose of Jenner fever when both Kylie and Kendall hit our shores this week to help launch the range. Shopping centres, prepare to go into melt down as the girls appear at Westfield Parramatta on Tuesday 17th and Chadstone Shopping Center on Wednesday 18th.

They grew up going to the same church and Claire was best friends with Daniel's sister, Erin, and their parents were long time friends. So Claire grew up around Daniel, but since he was a few years older, they didn't really know each other until she began working with his mom after she started college. Claire always had a little bit of a crush on him, and Erin knew so when Daniel moved back to Birmingham, she played cupid and would invite Daniel and Claire over for dinner at the same time at her parents house to get to know each other. One thing led to another, and one night in December Daniel told Claire he liked her. They started officially dating after that, and the rest is history!
We so loved being part of Claire's wedding gown decision. She was such a joy to have in the store, and she has the most genuine heart. She was nothing short of stunning in her Anne Barge strapless ballgown with full tulle skirt. We are swooning over her photos from her special day!

Colangelo and Grace Moon firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com @lisalcolangelo Updated June 25, 2018 10:01 AM Print Share fbShare Tweet Email These two teens from Queens are ready to shatter stereotypes that the science and math worlds belong to men. Rochelle and Simone Barsz, students at Benjamin Cardozo High School, are in a special program to prepare them for the biomedical and engineering fields. Rochelle, a junior, is on the science Olympiad and math team. Simone, 14, a freshman, is in the environmental club. And on their spring break, the duo created a computer app to help people with early stage Alzheimer's disease. Rochelle said she wasn't surprised to learn about the low number of women in vital science, technology, engineering and math jobs. "I feel like many girls feel intimidated by men," said 16-year-old Rochelle. "People tell them they can't do certain things. It's changing with time." The sisters developed their app as part of the free, weeklong Girls in Tech initiative at the New York Hall of Science in April. It runs again from July 16 through 24 and August 13 through 21. The program, funded by BNY Mellon, is geared to girls in grades 8 through 12, helping them learn programming skills and work with others on creating an app that focuses on a real-world issue. Girls in Tech is part of a larger effort at the Hall of Science and other institutions to get young women interested in science, technology, engineering and math careers. Rochelle and Simone's app, called "Unlocking Time," was inspired by a family member who is struggling with the early stages of Alzheimer's. "Since there are no cures for the deterioration of the brain and forgetfulness, we made an app that would help people cope with it and be aware as long as possible," said Simone. The app has facial recognition photos of houses, family and even pets as well as the date, time and location of where they are, Rochelle said. Other students designed apps about pet adoption and sharing ways for young people to stay healthy and fit, according to Anthony Negron, manager of digital programming at the Hall of Science. "We talk about the importance of how going into the field of computer science entails different opportunities they can get involved in — health care, product innovation, web development," Negron said. "There are so many different opportunities to take advantage of." Negron lauded Rochelle and Simone's tenacity and creativity. "The program was from Monday to Saturday and until the tail end of the week, when we would finish around 4 p.m., they would go home and continue working," said Negron. "They did a remarkable job." Rochelle advised girls not to be discouraged exploring their interest in STEM-related classes and activities. "I would say go for it because women are intelligent and they can do anything," she said.

Hebrews 10:19-25
I remember growing up being able to go to the lake in the summer with several family friends. My family has never owned a boat or lake house, so anytime we were able to go, it was through our friendship connections. Some of my best memories with my family are from these lake trips. We would wake up early to Jet Ski on the calm water, spend the entire day smashing our faces as we face planted at 40 MPH while tubing, and relax while riding the water at sunset to get to the boat dock before getting a good nights rest in preparation for another adventurous day on the lake. There are many things in life we receive as perks because of the connections we have: receiving VIP tickets to a sold-out show, skipping the mile-long food line, or going on the coolest all-paid vacation with your bestie – just to name a few.
I was recently reading the book of Hebrews in my quiet time, and I was amazed at the perks we have as followers of Christ. Hebrews tells us how Christ is superior to all things in heaven and on earth, and His ultimate sacrifice on the cross made Him our eternal High Priest. In the Old Testament, the Israelites had one High Priest who would represent them before God once a year for the forgiveness of sins. Now, we don't have a sinful man as that High Priest. We have Jesus Christ, the perfect High Priest of the Church. Just as our friend connections brought great perks to our family, Hebrews 10:19-25 tells us that Christ as our High Priest brings great spiritual rewards and opportunities to His Church.
Draw Near to God
Verse 22
The first advantage this passage says we have because of Christ is the opportunity to draw near to Him. The present tense of "draw near" also implies continual or repeated approaching. Ladies, we as finite and sinful human beings, have the distinct privilege to draw near to God whenever we want! We can draw near to Him when we are sad, having a bad day, happy, when things are going our way, when we have the worst day of the year, and every day in between. We can draw near to Him because He lives within us in the form of His Holy Spirit. His presence is ALWAYS with us, and He rejoices with us when we rejoice and weeps with us when we weep (Romans 12:15). What an amazing friend!
So how do we draw near to God? One way, of course, is to read His Word. John 17:7 says, "If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you." When God's Words are in us, His desires will be ours as well. Then, we will be obedient to Him and in His will. Another way to draw near to God is through prayer. The identical verb form of "draw near" is used earlier in Hebrews focusing specifically on prayer. As John 15:7 says, when we pray God's Words, He will answer them. We not only draw near to God through personal spiritual disciplines like reading the Bible and prayer, but we draw near to Him by being a part of His Church. I am never closer to the Lord than when I am active in His body of believers learning, serving, and giving. The end of verse 22 tells us to draw near to God with "a true/sincere heart in full assurance of faith". We must come to Christ genuinely seeking Him with complete confidence and certainty that He is there, listening, and caring about what we are bringing to Him.
Hold Fast to Our Confession
Verse 23
Another benefit of being in Christ's Priesthood is the ability to "hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful." "Our confession" is the distinct belief we have in Christ and the gospel. We can hold fast to our belief in Christ and the hope we have in Him of purposeful and eternal life because "he who promised is faithful". This denotes constancy – we can count on God standing behind His promises because He always has and always will fulfill them (Numbers 23:19). He is the source of faithfulness (Psalm 145:13).
There are a lot of things in life that are insecure. Circumstances are never certain and we have no idea what our future holds – what job we will have, who we will marry, if we will get a disease… – and even relationships often make us insecure with lack of communication and trust. Security in Christ is one of my favorite things about Christianity. No matter how unsure everything around me in this world is, my hope in my God is always sure because HE IS FAITHFUL. I don't have to wonder what will happen when I die. I know I will be in the best place ever – in the very presence of my Savior. I don't ever have to wonder who is in control of my life (even though I often pretend it is me) – I know it is my all-powerful, all-loving, and full of goodness Creator. This security I have in Christ as my High Priest enables me to trust Him no matter the painful circumstances, no matter the stressful decisions, no matter my fear of the unknown because "he who promised is faithful"!
Consider One Another
Verses 24-25
The last perk mentioned in this text is the privilege to "consider how to stir up one another to love and good works." As a part of the messianic priesthood, we are never alone in this life. We always have believers around us who can encourage us and equip us to do the Kingdom work God has called us to do. We get to carefully consider with deep attention how to spur on one another in thoughts, beliefs, and desires to initiate good actions in our lives. Sometimes this process is a little painful (Proverbs 27:27), but it should always result in good fruit in our lives. I recently had a difficult conversation with a close sister in Christ about outward sin I saw in her life. The conversation was awkward and uncomfortable for us both, but she told me at the end, "it means a lot that you love me enough to point out my sin and draw me closer to Christ." This is what "spurring on to love and good works" means in the body of Christ. It isn't always joyful and celebratory conversations, which are also beneficial to the church. Oftentimes, it is speaking the truth in love just as Christ did to point people to our High Priest rather than our own advice (Ephesians 4:15).
Verse 25 cautions us not to neglect meeting together as the church but to encourage one another as we wait for Christ to return. God has blessed us with each other, and we need each other to obey Christ on earth. How are you contributing to and being a part of this "one another" community we call "church"?
Because Christ is our High Priest, we have the incredible privileges of drawing near to God, holding fast to our confession, and considering one another. Are you taking advantage of these privileges that are yours in Christ? How often are you drawing near to God? Ask God to give you the discipline to do this daily. Are you acting in faith because of your security and hope in Christ? Ask God to help you "set your mind on things above, not on earthly things" (Colossians 3:2). Are you considering other believers and how to spur them on in their faith? Ask God to connect you with a body of believers to live out this command. Remember, "he who promised IS FAITHFUL."
Faithful High Priest, thank You for Your sacrifice for my sins! Thank You for continually representing me before the throne of God with mercy and grace. Give me the discipline to draw near to You daily, the faith to hold fast to my confession of hope in You, and the encouragement to meet with other believers and consider how to spur them on.

Latest North Carolina news, sports, business and entertainment at 11:20 a.m. EDT
Franklin Graham book shares lessons from "America's Pastor"
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – Billy Graham's oldest son, Franklin, says his new book about his father is meant to share lessons he learned from the man known as "America's Pastor."
Titled "Through My Father's Eyes," the book mixes quotes from Billy Graham and family anecdotes with Franklin Graham's views on religion, culture and politics.
Among stories about his father, who died in February at age 99, Graham also includes cultural critiques aimed at his conservative Christian audience.
The book comes at a sensitive time for American Christians. Some support Republicans without question, while others struggle to find support in the Bible for what Trump says and does.
In an Associated Press interview about his book, Graham says he was a Republican but became Independent because he doesn't want to be beholden to any group.
North Carolina flu-related deaths reach modern-day record
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) – State officials say flu-related deaths in North Carolina have reached a modern-day record this season.
The N.C. Department of Health and Human Services said Thursday that one person died from flu in the past week, bringing this season's statewide total to 379 deaths. Most of those were among people age 65 and older.
This season's total is much higher than either the 2016-17 or 2014-15 seasons. In each of those, there were 218 confirmed flu-related deaths.
Officials say it's still not too late to get a flu shot. Although the six-month flu season officially ended March 31, flu has been known to linger several weeks into April and early May.
Woman strangled at North Carolina assisted living center
TARBORO, N.C. (AP) – Authorities are investigating the strangulation of a woman found dead a month ago at a North Carolina assisted living center.
No arrests have been made in the death of 75-year-old Rebecca Eudy, who was found April 5 at Open Fields Assisted Living in Tarboro.
Her death certificate says Eudy asphyxiated and suffered traumatic injuries to her neck.
Eudy was charged with assault in December after a fight with a 46-year-old man living at Open Fields who allegedly exposed himself to her. Open Fields is an adult care facility, which houses the elderly and also some people with severe and persistent mental illness.
Eudy's daughter has filed a complaint with the state Department of Health and Human Services after learning that her mother's death was being treated as a homicide.
Boy shot in face when N. Carolina home sprayed with bullets
WILSON, N.C. (AP) – Authorities are investigating a North Carolina shooting that left a 9-year-old boy with a bullet wound to the face.
Authorities tell local media outlets they got a call Wednesday night that a Wilson home had been sprayed with bullets.
Officers say they found a boy who had been shot in the eye. He was sent to a hospital for treatment, and his family says he is expected to be OK.
A neighbor's surveillance camera caught people yelling before gunshots ring out. Police are still investigating the shooting.
2 students in custody after high school hit list found
FRANKLIN, N.C. (AP) – Authorities in North Carolina say two students are in custody after school administrators found multiple "hit lists" with names of students, a principal and community members, and deputies found a cache of weapons at one student's home.
The Macon County Sheriff's Office told local news outlets the lists were created by two sophomores at Franklin High School and discovered Tuesday. Schools Superintendent Chris Baldwin said the students intended to do harm, leading the sheriff's office to conduct an investigation.
Among the names on the list was Franklin High Principal Barry Woody. According to the superintendent, Woody was on the hit list because he made one of the two students and the student's girlfriend stop their public displays of affection.
Renowned jazz drummer to perform for 1st time in NC hometown
WILSON, N.C. (AP) – A North Carolina native who became a legendary jazz drummer, composer and educator will perform for the first time in his hometown.

Weekend lane closures set for I-40 for widening project
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – The North Carolina Department of Transportation is continuing weekend lane closures on Interstate 40 just west of Winston-Salem.
A news release from the department says the closures will be west of the Yadkin River bridge near Clemmons. The closures are needed for ongoing widening work at the Davie-Forsyth County line.
Weather permitting, additional lane closures will take place from 7 p.m. on Friday until Sunday at noon. The same schedule will be followed Friday through Sunday on the first three weekends in June.
While the roadway will not be completely closed, crews will be working alongside traffic.
Deal ends environmental racism complaint against hog farms
(Information from: The News & Observer, http://www.newsobserver.com)
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – North Carolina officials are resolving a formal complaint of environmental racism by promising tougher oversight of industrial swine operations blamed for polluting the air and water.
The state Department of Environmental Quality and a coalition of environmental groups said Thursday they've resolved a four-year-old complaint about health problems affecting minority communities near large-scale hog operations.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency last year told the state agency it was concerned that minorities might have suffered outsized effects as concentrated animal feeding operations multiplied near their eastern North Carolina homes.
State environmental officials say they'll now launch an air quality study in Duplin County and expand existing water monitoring efforts in Sampson and Duplin counties.
The agreement ends civil rights complaints filed against the state environmental agency in 2014 and 2016.

I went for a run for the first time in years. I would not count anything since about 1987 as a run – just a few runs across Berkeley.
This is a big achievement for me, since I had been dismissed from sports in 1981 due to hip pain affected by running. I learned this year that my issue was probably posture and method rather than weak joints.
Yesterday's run was a now-familiar 5.2 miles loop on Almaden Quicksilver's New Almaden and Guadalupe trails. My time was only about 8 minutes longer than my 'hiking' time since I have been working up to this with 45 hard trail hikes since June. Pretty much going 4MPG average up&down except in the most steep terrain like the Kennedy Trail.
Despite the practice, running earned mildly sore muscles – more than even my 11-12 mile hikes up and down Mt. Sambroso and the Sierra Azul – though no 'hiker's leg' bruising.

Ides of March Post
Even though every month has an "ides" (a middle day of the month), it's because of Ceasar and Shakespeare that we give the Ides of March a rather foreboding and even sinister spin. It's right up there with Fridays the 13th.
So, for this Ides de March, I'm proposing something with plenty of siniter connotations: a conspiracy theory. I'm not one for conspiracy theories, primarily because so many such theories seem unreasonable and unsupportable even after a shit load of earnest investigative sleuthing and reporting. (I agree that the MSM - MainStreamMediaCorpInc - are in cahoots with the multi-MUNDO Corps, but hey, some theories are just that, theories.)
So here's mine, and it may not be new, but it is befitting this Ides so close to the 3rd anniversary of the Bush-Iraq War and in the midst of the primary season leading up to the midterms.
OK, the theory: Somehow, I'm betting the fix is in. The fix on the midterms, that is, and even the fix on the 2008 presidential, if you catch my drift.
Yes, it's not just my opinion, it's a fact: Republican and Ruthless both start with R, it's a FACT. And it's a fact that Republican and Reprehensible both start with R, too.
And I'm thinking that, yes, the Dems are WAY NAIVE on the whole deal/slash/pickle they've gotten themselves and us/all of us into. They're just not even rhetorically strong, much less "a force to be reconded with", as they say.
So the Republicans figured that in 2004 Florida would be closely watched, so they chose another populous swing state to spin their way, and they went to Ohio, and you see how that went.
So now they're thinking, hey, we can do this. We can keep our cash-filled hands on the reigns of this nation for plenty more terms to come, so long the people forget what a "term" is. They'll think we've just got ONE REAL PARTY in this country - and some ineffectual, weenie, has-been party remnants on the side, wagging their tails like lap dogs.
So what states are/will be in the fix this time and next time?
Surely these guys are willing to get this early of a start on the whole antiquated election thing. Elections: they're so JFK, so FDR, so Founding Fathers. Time for the new, the Neocon Theocracy.
So, yes, I'm thinking somehow, somewhere OFF the radar, the fix is in.
And it's up to us to see if we want to call 'em on it, much less stop it - if we CAN stop it.
Who's the fixer?
Calling all Karls on this, the Ides of March....

Ansar Ahmed Ullah : In an urgent press conference called on 23 April at the Café Grill, Brick Lane by Secular Bangladesh Movement UK (SBM) & Campaign for Protection of Religious minorities in Bangladesh (CPRMB) accused the UK BNP of inciting sectarian violence.
The representatives of SBM & CPRMB said BNP Jamaat activists used the slogan "Hare Krishna, Hare Ram, Sheikh Hasinar Baper Nam", during a recent protest against Sheikh Hasina which incites communal violence and religious intolerances. In a written statement President of SBLA Ajit Saha said during the Citizen Reception of Honourable Prime Minister of Bangladesh on 21st April, in a Westminster venue, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) in the streets opposite were protesting as part of their political programme. A video of the UK BNP protest has come to our notice where it is seen that under the leadership of UK BNP President Abdul Malek, religiously malicious communal slogans were shouted in the name of the Prime Minister and Bangabandhu with the name of Goddess of minority Hindus. The Islamists led by right wing BNP and far-right Jamaat-e-Islami were shouting slogans intended to incite religious hatred against the followers of the Hindu faith. The protestors used cymbals and drums to mimic followers of the Hindu faith and used the names of their deities in a derogatory manner. They also hurt the feelings of the Hindu community by proclaiming Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as a Hindu deity.
The statement stated the main goal of our great Liberation War was equal rights and coexistence of the people of all religion but such communal slogan of a major political party of Bangladesh is terrible and is a threat to communal harmony between Bengalis living in UK. Use of religion is utterly unacceptable and condemnable. The statement in its conclusion demanded that BNP president Abdul Malek immediately apologises publicly for their hateful communal slogans. Otherwise the minority communities will be forced to take legal action against communal hatred slogans.
Mrs Pushpita Gupta of Secular Bangladesh Movement (UK) said, "BNP should be held responsible under the provision of religious hate crimes act for this attack on the Hindu community's religious sentiment. We have video footage of the incident where the perpetrators can easily be identified. We demand that the police investigate the incident urgently and bring the perpetrators to justice."

Being inspired by Post Rock gigs at a pony convention, and several pony themes, AndNoOneDriving wrote amazing and meaningful Post Rock tracks of his own and this is the first of them! Paying tribute to Scootaloo's very relatable character depth and feelings (for me too), Wind to the Wing is an incredible progressive piece featuring both soft parts of blissful guitar melodies, and heavier parts expressing feelings with the power of rock music! The bass play is delightful as well and perhaps it's no coincidence given that "Scootabass" Scootaloo is often portrayed playing a bass guitar in fanarts. Wind to the Wing is definitely a masterpiece, to enjoy over and over again!
Edit: The song appears to have been deleted from the channel for unknown reasons, so in the meantime you can listen to it from here.

Today I have been talking to a friend whose son suffered a rather bad fall early last week after visiting A+E and being told
he had severe concussion and had damaged the muscles in his knee. The hospital asked for him to be followed up at
the end of the week with the family GP and he should have the week off school.
The GP agreed with the hospital that he should refrain from sports but was fine to return to school on Monday.
Monday Arrives and my friend's son who I am going to call Jake to protect his identity goes to school armed with a note
explaining his fall being seen in hospital and by the GP and how he is to refrain from PE and sports.
Normally this is enough for a child to be told to get a book and sit and read or start doing some homework from another lesson.
So I find it appalling that a PE teacher finds it within their remit to go against these recommendations.
When I was at High school over 20 years ago the week after getting off crutches the PE teacher told me to carry five benches from
one gym down a flight of stairs and round to the other gym on my own. I was fortunate it was the last lesson of the day and I knew
that my Dad would be parked outside as it wasn't worth him going home having just finished work. I went to where my Dad was
parked and told him what I was meant to be doing and got him to go and see the head. I was never asked to move benches again.
Move on 20 years and Jake is in a similar situation having been told by medical professionals to avoid sports and PE
He hands the note to his Teacher who ignores it and tells him he has to put his kit on, When Jake says he hasn't got his kit
he was threatened with a detention and told to get Kit out of the lost property and boots. As the class is split into four groups each to
do a different activity. Hockey, Table Tennis, Badminton and Rugby.
Jake is put into the group that will be doing Rugby. A high impact sport where the players are encouraged to tackle each other and do
lots of running.
The result Jake comes home from school with Blisters from the boots being two sizes too small, Bruised ribs that can be physically
seen once his uniform is removed. and his knee injury has been made worse.
When a doctor says that you are not fit for work, it is accepted as the case, so why is that word not true for a 11-year-old within the
educational system?. What gives a teacher the right to over rule the Doctors?
Personally I would have hoped that the way we treat children had improved in the 20 years since I was at school and that if children
aren't able to physically able to take part in Sports and PE the lesson could be used to learn about the rules of sports, read about
sporting legends or use their time constructively to further their education in some way.
I don't believe that teachers should have the right to choose what is right for a child when it goes against the wishes of the parent and
medical professionals.

H&M Afound discount marketplace to launch this year
Swedish fashion retailer H&M will launch an off-price marketplace later this year featuring discounted fashion and lifestyle brands, both external and those from the H&M group.
The H&M Afound concept, which will be introduced as a new brand, will be launched both online and with physical stores, starting in Sweden.
The company's first store will open in Drottninggatan, Stockholm in parallel with the launch of the digital marketplace in Sweden.
H&M has not specified which brands, or how many, will be featured on Afound, but H&M's ANZ communications manager Elizabeth Cave said the retailer will reveal more details closer to the launch date which would probably include a list of all participating brands.
Cave said Afound will be a "style- and deal-hunting paradise", a marketplace selling discounted fashion and lifestyle products, offering a wide range of well-known, popular brands for both women and men.
"H&M Afound will present a carefully selected, season-less range from Swedish and international brands in a variety of price segments both online and in physical stores," she said.
Fredrik Svartling, Afound's MD, said in a statement he believes there is big potential for the brand.
"Afound cares about both the value of the products and the mix," Svartling said. "And by offering personal style inspiration, quality labels, and the sense that you're getting a really good deal, Afound will offer a new form of off-price experience."
According to H&M Group CEO Karl-Johan Persson in an earlier statement, H&M is branching out into new concepts, like Afound, in order to keep up with the fashion industry's ever-changing pace and to increase its market share.
"We constantly work on new ideas and innovations that will drive us forward – and there are many in our pipeline for 2018 and the years to come," Persson said.

Lan Zhigui 蓝志贵 (1932 - 2016, Baxian, Sichuan) was considered as a pioneer photographer active in Tibet from the early 1950's to the early 1970's. His first encountered photography when he was a young apprentice in a photo studio. Once his apprenticeship completed, he attended art-training courses for half a year, where he become informed about the history of Western art thanks to publications available then.
In November 1949 he joined the People's Liberation Army, the armed forces of the People's Republic of China. In 1951, Lan Zhigui was nineteen and discovered for the first time Tibet. At that time he was a reporter for the People's Liberation Army and eventually spent twenty years there to record the history of Tibetans. He photographed the People's Liberation Army's entry into Tibet, the construction of the Xikang-Tibet highway, appeasing of the armed rebellion, democratic reform, the establishment of the Tibet Autonomous Region, and a series of important historical events. He also filmed the Tibetan folklore, religions and culture, while capturing the diversity of ethnic minorities, such as the Lhoba people, Mishmi people, and Menba people.
Between 2007 and 2016, Huang Jianpeng – owner of the eponymous gallery - spent nearly a decade sorting through and systemizing Lan's rare pieces. He curated solo and group exhibitions at Beijing's National Art Gallery and the Nanjing Museum. "I must have made a dozen flights between Nanjing and Chengdu to collect his photographic material and original documents, so as to gain an understanding of his life in Tibet and his way of working over the course of two decades," he explains. Huang's collection currently comprises 200 early prints of Lan, 100 of which were exhibited in the Chinese National Art Museum.

The Grand Canyon State
We're still in Arizona! We've stepped down our travel pace and have been biding our time in Arizona, taking in some sunshine, enjoying the desert, and planning our next moves.
The last post left off in Flagstaff, where we spent several days. We really enjoyed the area and felt like locals by the time we left.
We spent a day in Sedona, exploring the city and the surrounding vortexes. The drive south from Flagstaff to Sedona winds through a beautiful canyon. It was way too hot and sunny for hiking the day we were there, so we viewed the Bell Rock from the parking lot. The idea with the vortexes is that they are special rock formations from which the Earth's energy seeps. The evidence given are the twisted juniper trees nearby. While nearly every juniper we have seen on this trip has been twisted, there is a certain tingling you can feel, but perhaps that is psychosomatic.
After a hot and sweaty morning, we drove back north through the canyon, stopping at Slide Rock State Park. Amazing! We highly recommend it if you're in the area. It's a river that carved through the canyon, creating a natural rock slide. The water is brisk, but it is so refreshing on a hot and sunny day. We had a great time sliding and watching other people slide. Neither of us brought our cameras, so the picture below is leveraged from the internet. I have no idea who that kid is, but doesn't he look like he's having fun?
The next day was one of our favorite days of the trip. We started just northeast of Flagstaff at Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument. We had learned that the entire area is a volcanic field and it's so neat. Scientists aren't positive what's going on in the area but they think either the area is slowly moving over a hot spot or that the tectonic plate is slowly stretching. Either way, it makes for fascinating geology. We walked through pumice fields and climbed some cinder cones. The landscape is unreal!
The Wupatki National Monument is just north of Sunset Crater, so we headed there next. It's a beautiful drive and we had fun exploring the ancient pueblos. We saw a geologic feature called a blowhole that is basically nature's air conditioning. It's a small hole in the ground attached to a huge underground network of caverns that "breathe," forcing cool air out. It's incredible! If I was an ancient person, I would have built my home near that, too.
Acting on a tip from the Ranger at Sunset Crater we continued on to some Forest Service land west of Wupatki. After miles on an unimproved road, we finally found SP Crater (Shit Pot, because there is a huge lava field that leaked out of the base of the crater, causing a local man to compare its appearance to a terrible pit toilet disaster). We drove the car as close as we comfortably could and then climbed straight up the side. It was probably some of the hardest hiking we've done, but it was absolutely worth it. The views from the rim of the crater were spectacular. There was even a rainbow from a distant rain storm.
The climb down was so fun! Because it was so steep, we just had to kind of jump down the hill. I felt like I was a character in a video game with super jumping abilities.
The following day was relaxing and I managed to give myself lactic acidosis. Between the vigorous exercise the night before, the high elevation, and drinking two kombucha in as many days, it was just too much lactic acid. I had no idea kombucha could cause it, but after feeling panicky and dopey at the same time, plus all my muscles ached and I was nauseous, I did some internet research and self diagnosed. Be careful with your kombucha people!
It was a rainy day in Flagstaff for Ryan's birthday, but we made the best of it. We had the most delicious Thai food for brunch at Red Curry and then happened upon a street festival downtown. When the rain hit, we made our way to the Lowell Observatory, the place where Pluto was discovered! We checked out the museum and then took one of the tours and learned so much. We went home and watched the new Godzilla movie and then went out for Mexican food, complete with a salsa bar. It was a great day!
The next day was another work day. I'm actually working on a book, a book we wish we had before we started this trip. I'm hoping to assemble all the information about traveling full time and entering the RV world that would have been helpful up front. I've made some good headway, but still have a lot to go.
It was starting to cool off in Flagstaff, so we decided to descend 6,000 feet into Phoenix. It was our first time below 4,000 feet in several weeks and brought us to our current location at McDowell Mountain Regional Park just northeast of Phoenix. We are in love with this park and have been so lucky to practically have the place to ourselves.
We have been spending our time doing some life maintenance and hiking the park. I also spent a day driving to Flagstaff and back to retrieve a shade tent we had forgotten at our previous campsite. We won't be making that mistake again!
This is a different type of desert than the red dirt and pine forests of Flagstaff and holds a different set of flora and fauna, including the iconic saguaro cacti. It is also a significant change in demigraphics. Whereas Flagstaff is a hip college town, we now find ourselves the youngest people by decades everywhere we go. What's funny is that we overhear conversations from the retirees about their trips to Mesa Verde and Moab, and we can relate so well to their experiences. We're thinking about just cutting to the chase and retiring here now ;)
The most exciting thing about our new campground is all of the wildlife we have been up close and personal with. Our favorites are the coyotes. We hear them howling right outside our campsite and we even saw two walk right past our site! We've also seen jack rabbits, bunnies, a great horned owl, a buck, lizards, a tarantula, a snake carcass, desert tortoises, and all sorts of birds.
I was on a hike by myself and got stung in the bum through my skirt by a honey bee. I was searching for coyote dens and found a beehive instead. Because I've only been stung twice in my life and the second time I had a weird systemic reaction, I climbed to the mountain bike trail nearby until I was sure I wasn't going to keel over from an allergic reaction.
I also found what I thought was gold! For a fleeting moment I thought we were going to be filthy rich, but after further investigation I concluded it was only pyrite. Bummer. It was pretty, though.
The Ranger here at the park has been wonderful. Twice I have gone in and asked her a million questions about the wildlife in the area. She patiently answered all my questions, showed me all the animals they have at the Visitors Center, and humored me.
We are going to be heading west and north from here along the Pacific coast. We were going to leave today, but hurricane Simon was predicted to slam the area with rain, so we decided to wait it out one more day. It will be neat to see the desert in the rain! We'll see you on the flip side!
