Sci-Fi Air Show
Bill George is a Visual Effects Supervisor who works at Industrial Light and Magic, and is a huge fan of the prop spaceships used in SF movies and TV. He's put together the Sci-Fi Air Show, featuring an Eagle from Space: 1999, a Colonial Viper from the original Battlestar Galactica, and several others.
I am a little fuzzy on what the air show actually consists of; several photos on the site show what appear to be fans inspecting the various props, but other photos show the ships flying. The actual descriptions of the ships also make it clear that they're supposed to be fully functional; part of the history of the Orion Space Plane says, for instance:
For the film "2001: A Space Odyssey," director Stanley Kubrick (famously averse to flying) had a second-unit crew, led by assistant cinematographer John Alcott, shoot exterior scenes of the Orion in space in the last weeks of October 1967; the live-action segments that took place in the weightless interior followed immediately thereafter. The actors aboard could only perform for short periods in the weightless environment of space before getting violently sick. Kubrick directed the actors and Alcott via a closed-circuit TV link furnished by Bell Telephone.
I'm thus not sure if the ships are actually all the property of one collector who displays them in prop "air shows," or if the site just pretends they are.
Either way, the site is well done, and it's fun to read about incidents like the "infamous 'Buckinghamshire crash'" which resulted when one of the Eagle's stunt pilots overshot a target.

Rev. Michael Lau
Acts 15:36-17:31
After church resolved a major internal issue, the dynamic of unity has empowered the spreading of the Gospel. Acts 15 end with a joyful affirmation of the instruction of the first church council in Jerusalem. When such good decision needed to spread to the churches Paul and Barnabas had established in the first mission trip, an argument has caused the splitting of Paul and Barnabas into two teams.
Acts 16 and 17 has turned into the first part of second missionary journey of Paul and Silas. This trip starts with revisiting those churches in Asia Minor. Then the Spirit stopped the team to go into Asia. After that the Lord has casted a vision to the team. Paul saw a vision that a Macedonian was calling them to come over to help them. Immediately they crossed the sea and landed in the province of Galatia. In a short period of time, the team of Paul planted four churches in this Gentile land.
The key of being missional is following the movement of the Holy Spirit in any missionary endeavor. It was the Holy Spirit assigned His missional leaders to revisit the churches with their new instruction from Jerusalem. It was when they have a decision to go beyond then the Holy Spirit signaled a stop. It was also the Holy Spirit generated a new vision for the team and they follow immediately. When they obeyed the vision, the empowering presence of God leads wherever every further step throughout the trip.
That is a good lesson for York Region to follow. It is about following the movement of the Holy Spirit who empowers with vision and instructions to move beyond our comfort zone.
Vision of Macedonia [Acts 15:36-16:10; 16:6-15 Personal God (B)]: It was from Antioch, Paul and Barnabas separated into two teams because of their dispute about bring Mark along. Paul took Silas and returned to visit those planted churches in their first mission trip. Even though there were problems generated by many human factors, but the Holy Spirit casted a Macedonian vision to the missional leader of the team, and led the newly formed team in united action.
Pioneering in Philippi [Acts 16:11-40; 16: 18-19; 28-34 Prayer (P)]: The mission team has adapted a ministry strategy as setting big city as in their priority. Philippi was a military center for the Roman government. There was not having a big Jewish community, but only a handful of godly women meeting for prayer on the day of Sabbath beside a river band. Lydia came to know the Jesus, and from then on her big house became the meeting place for the new church in Philippi. Prayer was important in the founding of the church. Other than the prayer meeting but also the discerning prayer of Paul both in casting out demons and in time of his imprisonment, the saving power came upon more people. The church of Philippi was united in the gospel ministry from the very beginning.
Global Gospel impacts [Acts 17:1-9; 17:6-7 Giving away your faith (P)]: According the usual strategy, the mission team reached out to the Jewish synagogue in another big city center named Thessalonica. Paul posted as a traveling teacher, and the synagogue invited him to share his teaching about Christ. The message attracted the godly gentiles who were in the synagogue. But the Jewish community stirred up an attack to the mission team and those who believed in the gospel. They claimed that the mission team as people who caused trouble all over the world. Yet, they did not know that was because the power of the gospel has first turned their inner life of those who shared the gospel upside up.
Model believers [Acts 17:10-15; 17:11 Bible Study (P)]: Because of the evil desire of the Jewish people in the synagogue in Thessalonica, Paul and Silas moved on to Berea. As according to their ministry strategy, they approached the Jewish synagogue first. However, as according to the observation of Luke, the Jewish community was better than Thessalonica. For they were not only received what Paul shared, but daily they went back to the Scripture to examine and find out the truth by themselves. That is why even the disturbing Jewish people came to Berea, the believers in Berea can stand up by themselves. It was only for the safety of Paul, he was sent to Athens alone.
The unknown God [Acts 17:16-34; 17:29-31 Trinity (B)]: For the calling and the equipping of Paul, he went to the Jewish synagogue and then in the markets of Athens to debate on the topic of the resurrected Savior. He was invited to share the message of the gospel message about the truth of Jesus and His resurrection in the famous Areopagus. Being inspired by the Holy Spirit, Paul made known to the people of Athens their subscripted "Unknown god" as the Creator and the Redeemer of the world, who is Christ Jesus. Even though there were different responses among the listeners, but the most important part was a few chosen by God came to accept the gospel of Jesus, and later on they formed the church.

You are committed to the idea of planting a garden that works well with the environment. Your timing is awesome! Read on for some helpful tips on how to grow a beautiful organic garden.
When selecting among several varieties of a plant, choose the ones that will produce the largest yield. Traditional strains are often out-performed by hybrids that have been bred for cold tolerance or disease resistance.
Starting seedlings in pots before planting in your garden is a smart idea. This really increases the survival rate of young plants. The period between plantings will also be shorter. Once you've removed the previous group of plants, your seedlings can go into the ground.
Use both biennials and annuals to add color to your flower bed. Using a variety of flowers allows your flower garden to have a different look each season. In an area that is sunny, they make good plants to place in the gaps found between shrubs and perennials. Some excellent choices include rudbeckia, hollyhock, sunflower, cosmos, petunia and marigold.
When winter arrives, you can save some plants by placing them in your home. Your best bet would be try to save the best or most hearty plants. Dig around the roots carefully and transfer the plant to a pot.
Try growing some cat grass or wheat grass in the vicinity of the plants that your cat likes to eat. Another option is to place something smelly, like citrus peels or mothballs, on the soil surrounding the plants that have previously been eaten.
Coffee Grounds
If you find that you have soil that has high amounts of alkaline, mix used coffee grounds throughout the soil. Coffee grounds are an inexpensive way to increase the acid level in your soil. This can help your veggies and greens look more vibrant and taste better!
Try "boiling" weeds to get rid of them. Any vessel of boiling water that you can carry safely can be used as an organic herbicide. Just douse the weeds directly with boiling water, taking care to avoid damaging nearby plants. Boiling water can hurt the roots of weeds and can prevent them from growing.
Peas have a better chance of survival when their seeds are started indoors as opposed to outside, exposed to the elements. If you give them a chance to grow indoors where they are protected, they will germinate better. Seedlings raised indoors are hardier, too; they can stand up better to diseases and insects. Once the seedlings have become hardy enough to survive, you can transplant them to your outdoor garden.
Protect the soil around your vegetable plants with an inch or two of organic mulch. Mulch will retain water so that you won't have to water your plants as often. It also helps prevent weeds from growing. That helps you save a great deal of effort and time in weed eradication.
Add aspirin to your plants to help them fight sickness. Your plants can benefit from a solution you can make by dissolving one and one-half aspirins into a couple of gallons of water. Spray this mixture onto your plants. Give your plants a spray of the aspirin-water mixture about one time every three weeks.
If you like the concept of organic horticulture, then why not take it one step further by leaving some of your land undeveloped for the area's wildlife? One side effect of this is that where animals thrive, so do birds and insects that help nurture and pollinate plants, which will increase the quality of your garden.
Pine can be a wonderful mulch. There are many types of plants with a high acidity, which means they thrive in acidic soil. Pine needles to line the bed of your garden are easy to find for these kinds of plants. Cover your beds with the needles, as they will decompose and disperse their acid throughout the soil.
Space is important to remember when planting an organic garden. Do not underestimate the space that plants need to develop their root systems. You will also need to ensure that you allow ample space around full-grown plants for air circulation. Think ahead and give each plant room for expansion, by properly spacing the seeds.
A great tip when running your own organic garden, is to lightly ruffle your seedlings with your hand or cardboard, around once or twice per day. This may sound strange, but research has proven that doing this will help your plants grow bigger than if they were not petted at all.
Calibrate how much you water based upon the time of the year and the weather conditions. The amount of water you will need will vary according to your climate and even such factors as the part of day and soil type. For instance, if you live in a humid climate where it never goes below 30 degrees Celsius, refrain from watering the leaves, as this will inevitably invite leaf fungus. Instead, water the roots only.
With all of these ideas, you should be ready to excel at organic horticulture. By reading and applying the information you have learned, you can go from a novice gardener to an expert-level organic gardener in no time at all. You've read tips that you can use to create a lovely garden full of organic and natural products.

|German Dark Rye Bread
In the Academy, I've got the chance to make my very first breads on my own!! Chef Niklesh was our mentor for this yeast puffing session. Chef has even told us that we gotta use our bare hands to FEEL the right fold of the bread dough to determine whether it is ready to bake in the oven. He makes sure all of us are using the right technique to roll the bread doughs in order to avoid any irregular shapes.
|Bread dough kneading technique
As illustrated in the figure above, for small soft/hard rolls, we can use our whole palm to roll the bread dough until it comes out with the smooth surface. Whereas, for bigger soft/hard rolls, we have to use both hands to knead the doughs with extra strength onto it.
|Hard breads - Note the air holes in the breads
|A closer look of the tight air holes
|A varieties of Hard Breads
Cuts on the bread dough for patterns
Apart from Soft/Hard breads, we have got the chance to make our own Focaccia breads! Focaccia is actually a type of Italian bread and is widely famous throughout the high-heeled boot like nation. Focaccia dough is similar to the texture of pizza dough, using high-gluten flour, water, oil, salt and starter. A starter or poolish consists of wheat flour, water and yeast which acts as pre-ferment to prolong the fermentation in bread making process. It is able to improve the lifespan and storage of the baked bread, and it creates greater complexities of flavour.
|Plain Focaccia Dough - Full of yeast activity
A wide spread of varieties of Focaccia breads can be found in Italy. They vary by regions and cities as different types of toppings, herbs and ingredients are used to create the uniqueness of their own focaccia breads.
|Focaccia with Tarragon herbs - Must handle with "Care"
|Look! This is gotta be Crispy, Crunchy and Tasty!
Viola~ Here's the whole batch of different breads that we have made... Thanks to the patience and perseverance of Chef N to guide us through the whole 2-days sessions. It was really an inspiring class for the Food Monster, or rather Flour Monster! Don't be jealous as we get to bring all the flour products to savour them ourselves... Put in the toast with fruit conserves or even just eat it plain, it is just like being in heaven! You can have it too, only by private request ;)
Before ending this post, I would like to thank both CheeHung, JZ and Ernie for your generosity to allow me to bunk in your lovely nests in Melbourne and Brissy during my recent trip to the Down Under! Thanks all of you for making this trip a special one and I am looking forward to see you guys soon... Till then, have a great life eating BREADS!

Back On Track Mesh Rug
Back On Track Mesh Rug
The Mesh Rug is a multifunctional product and extremely popular. We sell more Mesh Rugs than all our other horse rugs put together! During the summer months the Mesh Rug is the perfect blanket because of its optimal breathable qualities, thanks to the sturdy and very airy mesh that covers a layer of thin ceramic fabric which offers full protection. The Mesh Rug may be used both as an extra rug underneath, as a transportation rug, as cooler and in the horse box during the warmer months.
Because the Mesh Rug may be used under other blankets, you will make use of it all year round. Thus the rug is also protected by a regular exterior blanket. The rug may be used to great advantage prior to exercise/competition in order to warm up the muscles as well as following exercise/competition to help the muscles recover/recuperate. By using the whole rug you may achieve the Back on Track healing effect on chest, back, quarter and loin muscles.
The Mesh Rug has a lining of polypropylene fabric infused with melted ceramic powder. On the exterior, the rug has a thin mesh layer for maximum breathing qualities. The Mesh Rug is strengthened along the neck opening with polyester and has soft quilting around the withers. The rug has double chest buckles and criss-crossed belly surcingles (pop closures). There is a large tail flap with a tail strap and loops for the leg ties. The rug has a better fit than the other blankets due to the mesh fabric's stretch qualities.
How Back on Track works
Back on Track's joint and muscle support are all made of functional textiles with heat reflective properties. The textile is a synergy of ancient Chinese experience and modern scientific textile technology. During the manufacturing of polyester- or polyester fibres, the ceramic particles are fused into the fibres. When heated, the ceramic particles radiate a heat back towards the body. This reflected heat is long-wave heat radiation, which is also known as long wave infrared radiation.
Heat Radiation
It is well established and documented that long wave infrared heat radiation increases the blood circulation. The increased blood circulation in the tissues helps to relieve muscles tension and improves performance. One important property is the injury prevention effect, which you get when the protections are used for training and competition.
Info & Care
Instructions For Use
Keep in mind that the effect of Back and Track increases with movement when the body heat increases, so in addition to using pads and blankets in the stables, the horse can also be allowed to move around with the Back on Track products. Especially suitable in this context is Riding Boots, Bandages, Saddle Pads, Exercise Rug and Exercise Machine Rug.
For long term problems, the horse may need to use Back on Track for an extended period. Use the product for two to three weeks and have a break one week, to see if the symptoms persist.
As a preventive measure, Back on Track can be used with regular breaks. Use Back on Track 1 day before and 2 days after exercise and then stop until the next workout. For warm-up, use 1-2 hours before and 2-4 hours after exercise.
For dogs, one often uses the standard Dog Rug, which is rain repellent and breaths. However, it should be noted that for long-running problems, Back on Track should be used for several weeks, at least 8 hours per day, with regular breaks in order to achieve the desired results. This means that the dog can use the rug day and night, indoor as well as outdoor, 24/7. If being used at night, it is probably more comfortable for the dog to wear the Mesh Rug, which is more adaptable. Alternatively, the dog may be provided with a mattress with "memory foam" or a cover of Back on Track to the sleeping basket. The foam part molds to the body shape and relieves a sore back.
Washed at a maximum of 40 degrees with gentle washing program.
May we suggest
Fantastic customer care with speedy delivery to Ireland. The Back on Track mesh rug is a great fit and quality.
A fantastic rug, fits true to size and very good quality. I use mine on a regular basis on it's own and sometimes under his other rugs. Always comes up lovely after washing too. Always get comments about how smart it looks and after, what must be over 5 years of use, I'm just about ready to replace...

CipherTrace noted in a report that digital currency theft has nearly topped $1 billion over the first three quarters of the year at $927 million, Reuters reported. By contrast, crypto thefts from exchanges only reached $266 million for all of last year. The firm also indicated that smaller thefts between $20 million and $60 million were growing, and reached $173 million for the third quarter. CipherTrace Chief Executive Officer Dave Jevans told Reuters, "the regulators are still a couple of years behind because there are only a few countries that have really applied strong anti-money laundering [AML] laws.
To bolster development of FinTech firms, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) wants to help startups in the crypto space to have domestic banking services, CoinDesk said. MAS Managing Director Ravi Menon told Bloomberg that his institution wants to "bring the banks and cryptocurrency FinTech startups together to see if there's some understanding they can reach." Banks may not want to open bank accounts for crypto startups as some the industry's aspects might be "obscure and dangerous" in the eyes of financial institutions and regulators.
In other news, the pace of crypto hedge fund launches is picking up: In the first nine months of the year, 90 funds in the space have come on the scene, and the 120 scheduled to open this year may make up 20 percent of all the 600 hedge funds that are forecasted to open this year, CoinDesk reported. By contrast, crypto hedge funds comprised 16 percent of new hedge funds last year and a much smaller 3 percent in 2016. Crypto Fund Research Founder Joshua Gnaizda noted, "While we don't believe the rate of new launches is sustainable longer-term, there are currently few signs of a significant slowdown."
The Financial Stability Board (FSB) noted in its "Crypto-asset markets: Potential channels for future financial stability implications" report that digital assets and cryptocurrencies are not a threat to financial stability — as of now, according to CoinDesk. The organization noted that digital currencies are not an effective store of value, unit of account or payment means. In a press release, however, the group said, "vigilant monitoring is needed in light of the speed of market developments."
On another note, the Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative (MOBI) is rolling out competition for the vehicle technology designed for smart cities in the future — and tokens are the prize, CoinDesk reported. The MOBI Grand Challenge is scheduled to begin in mid-October and have a BMW-hosted demo for the public in Germany next year. It is described as a hybrid between an XPRIZE and the DARPA Grand Challenge, and it is just the beginning of a three-year mobility networks project.

Use Kinect with the Xbox Dashboard
You can use Kinect to control the Xbox Dashboard using both your voice and gestures. To get the best Kinect experience, make sure you have the latest console software.
Use gestures with the Xbox Dashboard
- Hold your arm straight out to the side and bend your elbow upward.
- Now wave your hand by moving your forearm left and right (Wave to Kinect).
Once you wave at the Xbox Dashboard, a hand cursor appears and you can now use gestures to navigate the Dashboard instead of a controller.
- Point the palm of your hand toward the screen, and move the on-screen hand over the item you want to select. To select an item, keep your hand over the item until the circle completes.
- To move to the next area of the Xbox Dashboard, move your hand to the edge of the screen and "swipe" across your body.
Use voice commands with the Xbox Dashboard
When you're at the Xbox Dashboard, say "Xbox" and the Kinect speech bar opens.
- You can now say any of the words that appear on screen.
- For example, say "Xbox Social" to move to the Social area of the Dashboard.
- Say "Xbox Bing" and then say what you'd like to search for. For example, you can say "Xbox Bing Halo" to search for games, downloadable content, music, and movies related to Halo.
Note Bing Search is currently only available in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada (in English).
How to start the Kinect Guide
Similar to the Xbox Guide, the Kinect Guide is a quick and easy way to start Kinect activities. You can view your friends, messages, achievements, and troubleshoot Kinect sensor problems from the Kinect Guide.
Use the Guide gesture to start the Kinect Guide. Here's how:
1. Wave to Kinect to activate motion control.
2. Position both arms at your sides.
3. Now move your left arm straight out at a 45 degree angle from your body.
4. Hold this pose until the Kinect Guide opens.

According to a recent InvestmentNews survey, 45.3% of advisers plan to increase allocations to cash in 2019. This comes as no surprise. Given the recent market volatility and rising short-term rates, cash is dominating the media as the shiny asset class of 2019. At the same time, your clients may be asking about better yielding options for their non-sweep cash balances.
Brick-and-mortar and online banks and others have begun to ratchet up rates on cash to appeal to rate-sensitive investors. Even fintech companies like Robinhood have focused on cash. Although Robinhood has hit some roadblocks to the launch of its cash offering, it's clear that investors are responsive to the cash message.
Although cash is the asset class to which every client has exposure, it is typically the least spoken about. With such a keen focus on longer-term wealth management strategies, many advisers are not prepared to talk to clients about cash and often are defensive when questioned about better-yielding or insured cash options.
When investors ask about higher rates at online banks, many RIAs are far too willing to encourage these clients to park large sums of cash at these institutions — or let's just call them what they are, the competition.
Gateway asset class for competitors
The fight for deposits is on. Earlier this month, CNBC reported that Goldman Sach's Marcus increased its cash rates to 2.25% and now has over $27 billion in deposits from two million accounts.
The message that is getting lost is that these institutions are using these bank accounts to source clients for their advisory businesses. It makes no sense that an adviser would send client cash to Marcus or other institutions outside of their control and introduce their clients directly to the competition, which is likely to have significantly more resources than your typical RIA.
You wouldn't send your clients to open an account at Goldman or Merrill, yet that is exactly what RIAs are doing when they encourage clients to open accounts at Marcus, Bank of America or any other bank.
Don't believe me? Then why is Goldman planning to move Marcus into Goldman's investment management division and potentially introduce a new product as a robo-adviser? Why did Wells Fargo announce late last year that it will put a toe in the RIA channel? Programs like MaxMyInterest actually make it easier to send your clients to the competition by directly introducing them to multiple banks.
The decade of all cash being equal is behind us. By realizing that cash is not a commodity and that there are different options for transactional sweep cash versus strategic, non-sweep cash, you can better manage current assets and potentially attract significantly more AUM.
The proof points are that the average brokerage account has approximately an 8% allocation to cash, yet high-net-worth and ultrahigh-net-worth investors (the majority of your clients) maintain an average 15% to 23% of household assets in cash.
Stop sending it to the competition! Now is the ideal time to bring it into the advisory relationship and add client value in the process.
The increasingly important cash conversation
So what are your options for strategic cash beyond competing banks with advisory arms? For starters, there are U.S. Treasuries, brokered CDs and uninsured money funds.
Another option advisers use is structured bank deposit vehicles that provide high levels of federal insurance, typically with competitive rates. These include laddered CD programs like Promontory's CDARS or more liquid programs like StoneCastle's FICA For Advisors, with a rate north of 2.25%.
The bottom line is that cash is entrenched in the headlines, your clients will be asking which options are right for them, and your competition is salivating over and marketing to your clients.
Talk to your clients about their cash and introduce them to safe and many times more competitive cash options that are available directly through you. You work hard enough already at your job, there is no reason to add "wholesaler for the competition" to your list of responsibilities.

Nashville, Tenn. -- Senior third baseman Kaelin Jackson continued her torrid start, going 5-for-7 on the day with two doubles and an RBI, but it wasn't enough as the UMBC Softball team (0-3) dropped a pair of tough decisions to UMKC and tournament host Belmont on Saturday.
The Retrievers dropped a close 4-2 decision to the Kangaroos in the morning before falling 2-1 to the host Bruins in the nightcap.
Game 1
It was the Retrievers who jumped out in front in the second inning when Carly Lesko (New Milford, N.J./New Milford) scored from third on a steal attempt by Chelsie Delperuto (Syracuse, N.Y./Solvay). UMKC (1-1), however, would respond with three runs in the bottom half of the frame off of UMBC starter Jessica Holte (Ashland. Va./Atlee).
The Retrievers would trim the deficit to one in the fourth when Jackson scored on an error, but the Kangaroos would respond with a two-out RBI double in the fifth to push the lead back to two. Kim Puccio (Sparta, N.J./Sparta) would relieve Holte in that fifth inning, but need only one pitch to induce a groundout to second base to strand the bases loaded. However, UMBC would get no closer and fall 4-2.
Holte (0-1) took the loss in her first start of the season. The senior southpaw went 4.2 innings, allowing four earned runs on seven hits while walking two and striking out two. Puccio went 1.1 innings, allowing no hits and only walking one batter.
Jackson had two of the four Retriever hits in the contest, a single and a double, while Kelly Lane (Albany, N.Y./Colonie Central) and Morgan Peyou (Mercer Island, Wash./Mercer Island) each added a single of their own.
Game 2
UMBC would get the first two batters on in each of the first three innings, including having second a third with less than two outs in the first two innings, but were unable to push across any runs. Both teams struggled to breakthrough until the fifth inning when a two-out bases loaded single followed by a run-scoring error put Belmont (4-0) up 2-0.
The Retrievers fought until the end, though, as shortstop Tori Alexander (Woodbridge, Va./Woodbridge Senior) was hit by a pitch with two down in the top of the seventh and was then driven in by a double off the bat of Jackson who was down to her final strike. However, a flyout would end the threat.
Puccio (0-1) was the tough luck loser, allowing two runs, only one earned, on eight hits with two strikeouts and five walks. Sophomore Mallory Pollack (Ivyland, Pa./Council Rock North) earned her first career start and singled in her first at-bat.
Alexander added two hits, while Peyou, Jaclyn Buckley (Vorhees, N.J./Eastern Camden Regional) and Kinsey Shifflett (Smithsburg, Md./Smithsburg) all added singles of their own.
The Retrievers close out play in Nashville with a rematch against UMKC (1-2) at 11 am.

Valentine Fabric Origami Candle Mat
This is a stunning table mat which looks complex but in reality is a very simple make.
You can gussy it up with fancy trimmings, quilting, binding, buttons and bows.
However I'm going to take you through the basic and slightly more complex options. Once you have made one the sky is the limit with extras.
This pattern is a simple design based on the 30 degree, 12 petal, dresden blade template. There is a downloadable version, (use the orange button below) which you can print out for the Free template, or if you have your own template you can use that.GET YOUR FREE TEMPLATE
If using your own template make sure it is the 12 blade version
If you accidentally use the 20 blade version your mat won't sit flat and you will need to unpick. Trust me on this. I made that mistake during the testing for this pattern and it took an age to unpick and resew!
The design and template work at any size so if your blocks end up larger or smaller you won't need to resize the template. Simply extend the lines as needed.
Due to the number of requests (1,000s) I will be releasing a multi sized pattern for sale, which includes both an additional coaster and tree skirt size version in time for Christmas.
The Seam Allowance for this project is 1/4″ throughout.
The majority of the time taken for this pattern in in the prep so lets get started already!
You Will Need
For Both Versions
- fusible interfacing – medium, 12 squares of 5.5″
- scissors
- sewing machine
- iron and pressing mat
Basic Version
- 12 squares of 6″ in fabric 1
- 12 squares of 6″ in fabric 2
Bordered Mat
- 12 squares of 6″ in fabric 1
- 12 squares of 4.5″ in fabric 2
- strips of the border fabric of 2″ wide
Please Note:
This sizing allows for the seam allowance and a slight 1/4″ extra to allow for correct alignment when matching with the back square. The video has incorrect sizing however as long as the back block matches the front block you will be all set to go.

Honoring Bill and Fred
The jazz world lost two of its most distinctive artists this June. Bill Dixon and Fred Anderson were both uncompromising horn players who played important roles in the development of the jazz avant-garde in the '60s and enjoyed major career resurgences late in life. To celebrate Dixon and Anderson, we are featuring an extra-large dose of their music on the Avant-Garde channel, which listeners will find right at the top of AccuJazz.com.
Bill Dixon was a trumpet player who busied himself more with exploring sound through his horn than playing melodies or hitting changes. While his music is undeniably intellectual, his trumpet playing always betrayed deep emotion behind every note.
An active member of the New York avant-garde jazz scene in the '60s alongside bigger-name artists like Cecil Taylor and Archie Shepp, Dixon spent decades in relative obscurity teaching at Bennington college in Vermont and recording only sporadically. In the first decade of the 20th Century, however, Dixon's name started popping up on the jazz world's radar much more frequently. He released 3 albums in the last 3 years, all of which saw Dixon collaborating with much younger musicians.
My first exposure to Dixon was his appearance on Exploding Star Orchestra's 2008 CD. It was actually one of the first CDs I added to AccuJazz playlists after getting this job -- I started working here about a week after its release. I remember being floored by the otherworldly sounds Dixon coaxed from his horn. At that point in my musical education, I had literally never heard anything like it. I hope you're also floored by all of Dixon's music that we're playing on the Avant-Garde channel.
Fred Anderson, like Bill Dixon, came up during the avant-garde revolution of the '60s, and, also like Dixon, experienced that late-in-the-game spike in popularity. His story is quite different, though. While Dixon enjoyed the stability of an east-coast liberal arts university gig, Anderson led a blue-collar life in Chicago his whole life, supporting his family and his music by installing carpet and tending bar. From the '80s on, Anderson ran his own club, the still-standing Velvet Lounge. In his role as club proprietor, Anderson mentored scores of young musicians and provided a place to play for artists and groups that wouldn't fit in anywhere else.
As a saxophonist, Anderson played with a wholly individual tone that was somehow smooth and gruff at the same time. Citing Charlie Parker as his greatest influence, Anderson didn't play in the bebop style, instead choosing to express himself in a freely-improvised style that alluded to everything from bop to funk to African rhythms. Anderson was on the more melodic side of free jazz improvisers, exploring seemingly infinite avenues of melody rather than pushing at the sonic limits of his instrument, as many working in the world of free improvisation are wont to do. His music is truly visceral and undeniably beautiful.
I personally am extremely grateful for Anderson's dedication to running the Velvet: I have frequented the club's longstanding Sunday night jam sessions for years, and my band played our debut gig there in April. Fred presided all night, and even agreed to show up 2 hours early so we could sneak in a last-minute rehearsal before the gig. At the end of the night, after everyone had cleared out, it was just me and Fred left as I was packing up my drums. He told me a story about how Lester Young used to be a drummer, but decided to switch to sax when he got tired of missing opportunities to go home with girls because he was busy tearing down his drums. Clearly, he felt for me. He was always so kind and gracious, and never seemed outwardly phased by the daunting economic realities of running an avant-garde jazz club in a run-down neighborhood.

It's Fun Fact Friday time again, and once again today's fun facts are brought to you by a blogger award. This time I was the proud recipient of the Sisterhood of the World Blogger Award. I was honored with this nomination by Dianne at Knitting Galore. Thank you Dianne!
The "rules" for accepting this award are fairly simple. Besides thanking the referring blog, I have to share seven things about myself, and then pass on the award to seven other bloggers. (I love how each award has its own random number of things.) Anyway, here goes:
1. My parents used to own a BBQ restaurant.
2. I was president of my chapter of Phi Theta Kappa.
When I attended community college I was heavily involved in the honor society, and had some of the best times of my life while I was there. I met some amazing people and got to go on some fabulous trips to conferences all over the country. And let's not forget the scholarships that I earned thanks to my service. Those were pretty excellent, too.
3. Academic honors are kind of my thing.
I admit it - I'm a bit of an overachiever. It's true. It's not that I always have to be the best, but I do always push my self to do the best that I possibly can. And I was very proud to have graduated from the community college with Highest Distinction, and then to have graduated Summa Cum Laude from the university. It wasn't easy, especially going to school while also being a full time mom to two little kids, but it was important to me, so I did it.
4. I've never traveled outside of North America.
I've been to Mexico several times, and I've been (barely) into Canada. (I visited the International Peace Gardens in North Dakota, and crossed over briefly into the Canadian side.) But sadly I've never had the chance to visit any other countries. It's on my To Do list, though.
5. I love Monty Python movies.
My favorite, of course, is Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It's just a classic, for so many reasons. And has SO many great quotable moments. (The nights who say "Ni"... Bring out your dead... If she weighs the same as a duck....) I could go on, but I won't.
6. I was once (briefly) a member of The Blue Knights.
It was only for a few weeks, but it was still cool. My brother marched with them for several years, and at the end of one summer they suddenly needed someone to fill a very minor role in the color guard. I was there, and could handle the job, so I got it. It wasn't the easiest three weeks ever, but getting to go to DCI Finals totally made it worth it.
7. My heart still belongs to Texas (and probably always will.)
Like they say, you can take the girl out of Texas, but you can't take Texas out of the girl. It's been nearly 24 years now since I was transplanted to Arizona. And while my new home has grown on me to an extent, Texas will always be my first love and true Home.
Now, as far as passing the award on to seven other bloggers... Well, here I'm going to bend the rule a bit. And I'm going to borrow an idea from Kina at Human in Recovery. As she suggested to her readers/fellow bloggers, if it resonates with you and you feel it fits your blog, please take it for yourself, and pay it forward. The way I look at it, a sisterhood shouldn't be open by invitation only. If you'd like to join, please do!

About us
About Salisbury Carpet Company
In light of the downturn Jamie started looking for an everyday product that he could promote in a new or more effective way to the general public. 18 months later following extensive research and a chance encounter he decided to venture into carpet retailing. Having already experienced this business from the customer's perspective he realised there was scope for much improvement. "My experience had been that you either bought carpet purely on price – i.e this is the cheapest carpet we have available in this colour or style, or if you selected any form of quality carpet it was "retail" and that's the price!
"Our aim when we set up "Salisbury Carpet Company Limited" on the 7th January 2010 was (and still is!) to do everything better. We choose the best products, negotiate the best buying prices, work with the best and most competent fitters and offer friendly, informed and honest advice"
The Team
For 12 years or so I had a very successful career as a shareholding director of 3 property development companies. During this time I also carried out work as an interior and landscape designer for private clients. In light of the downturn I started looking for an everyday product that I could promote in a new or more effective way to the general public. After extensive research I decided to venture into carpet retailing. Having already experienced this business from the customer's perspective I realised there was scope for much improvement! Using my interior design knowledge and property experience I am able to help and guide customers about colour schemes and how to set the "mood" of their environment whether they are looking for light and bright or warm and snug.
I have a wealth of front of house experience and first encountered Salisbury Carpet Company as a customer. I was so taken with the quality and level of service that I joined the company immediately afterwards. I have an eye for interiors and enjoy working closely with customers to ensure that they select the right carpet and flooring which will really enhance their homes and complement their lifestyles.
Before joining Salisbury Carpet Company I worked for over twenty years in the corporate world in a variety of sectors including financial services, telecommunications, mining and the third sector. As Head of Operations and also an HR Manager for a variety of companies, I joined the family business to develop the marketing and company infrastructure to ensure we deliver the highest possible service to our customers.
Our Fitting Team
Nigel & Steve
These two have been together fitting carpets for many years, both approved carpet fitters with exceptional expertise and wicked sense of humours. (Both like their coffee white with no sugar!)
Our expert commercial fitter, Richard completes all our LVT, safety floor and contract work. He is another fitter who has his coffee white with no sugar!

Vice President Joe Biden, champion of the It's On Us campaign, said last week about those who commit sexual assault, "We've got to shame these people. We've got to make them the pariah."
I previously wrote about Whole Foods co-CEO John Mackey's relationship with accused sexual abuser Marc Gafni. A former rabbi, Gafni has been accused of sexually assaulting two teenage girls in the 1980s. Here is the brief backstory if you're unfamiliar:
In December of last year, The New York Times reported Gafni describing one of his accusers, "She was 14 going on 35, and I never forced her." And: "A co-founder of Whole Foods, John Mackey, a proponent of conscious capitalism, calls Mr. Gafni 'a bold visionary. He is a chairman of the executive board of Mr. Gafni's center, and he hosts board meetings at his Texas ranch."
Sara Kabakov was the then-14-year-old girl whom Gafni described as "going on 35." She came forward publicly for the first time in an opinion piece in the Forward in January: I was 13 when Marc Gafni's abuse began.
Another of Gafni's then-teenage accusers, Judy Mitzner, has also come forward publicly.
The Washington Post reported on coordinated protests at Whole Foods stores in New York City and Los Angeles in May. Matthew Sandusky, the adopted and abused son of convicted pedophile Jerry Sandusky, joined protesters in New York. Gafni has never been charged with a crime. He has said both girls were "willing partners," as reported by the NY Daily News.
Myka Held, former staff attorney at SurvJustice and Georgetown Law Center Fellow, emailed in March: "Regardless of [Gafni's] arguments about consent, it is a crime in this country to have sex with a minor, and his defenders cannot hide behind the argument that sex was consensual."
Mackey quietly "chose not to renew his role" as chairman of the executive board of Gafni's nonprofit center in March, according to a statement on the Whole Foods Market Newsroom. A spokesman for Gafni said, "There was no break between Mackey and Gafni," as reported by the Forward.
In June, Mackey pledged his loyalty to Gafni, as reported by the Forward. He said in a statement:
"I have known Marc Gafni for several years, and he has continued to tell me that he is innocent of the allegations being made about him. Loyalty and the presumption of innocence are important values to me, so I will not join those who are condemning him."
Why does any of this matter? The repercussions range from retraumatizing Gafni's accusers who suffered "the most painful and unspeakable of experiences," as Sara Kabakov emailed last week, rippling out to all survivors of sexual assault, and to the culture-at-large.
Why should we care about the plight of this marginalized community, survivors of child sexual abuse? (approximately 43 million in the U.S.)
David Clohessy, Executive Director of SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, as featured in the Oscar®-winning movie Spotlight) said: "Most survivors have at least some span of their lives where they're addicted to something harmful — drugs, alcohol, sex, work — all designed to numb them from what feels like unending pain. Many survivors are unemployed, unemployable, underemployed because they have serious anger or trust issues. Many are incapable of intimate relationships and end up isolated, deprived of the love of family or friends. To use Thoreau's phrase, many survivors lead lives of 'quiet desperation,' clinging precariously to their mental and emotional health, crippled by deep-seated shame, confusion, suffering and self-blame." How do survivors heal deep-seated shame?
Author Brené Brown is a research professor of social work at the University of Houston and an expert on shame. Her TED talk Listening to Shame has garnered nearly 6.8 million views. Brown is also founder and CEO of both COURAGEworks and Brave Leaders, Inc. Brown is a scheduled speaker at the Tenth Annual Conscious Capitalism CEO Summit in Austin, October 18–20. John Mackey is a founding board member of nonprofit Conscious Capitalism, Inc., leader of the movement, and author of the book Conscious Capitalism. What are Brené Brown's thoughts about this situation? She hasn't responded to email inquiries or Facebook posts.
What about healthy shame, the kind that compels us to act with empathy and decency? San Francisco Psychologist John Amadeo wrote in his article The Power of Healthy Shame: "A positive aspect of shame is that it tells us when we've hurt "A positive aspect of shame is that it tells us when we've hurt someone, when we've crossed a boundary that violates a person's dignity."
New York Rabbi David Ingber, author of a petition to Whole Foods, co-sponsored by more than 100 rabbis and Jewish leaders, and organizer of the protests at Whole Foods, said: "Shame on you, John Mackey. Shame on you for your 'loyalty' and for your abhorrent callousness towards real victims, real women, real abuse, real stories that are not only from some mythic past but are still happening, right here and right now. Shame on you, Mackey, for trusting a sociopath instead of reaching out to those whom Gafni has abused. Shame on you and Conscious Capitalism for calling your complicity with sexual exploitation anything other than what it is — being an accomplice and enabler to a very disturbed and sick man."
What about Brené Brown's other area of expertise — courage?
Jill Tolles, Adjunct Professor of Communications Studies at the University of Nevada, said in her TEDx talk Finding Courage to Talk About Child Sexual Abuse: "I believe every single one of us can be a hero. We just need to have courage — the courage to have an uncomfortable conversation."
Do John Mackey and leaders of Conscious Capitalism have the courage to have an uncomfortable conversation about this matter?
Steven Murphy, dean of the Ted Rogers School of Management at Ryerson University, co-authored a 2016 paper with Sandra Kiffin-Petersen of the University of Western Australia: The Exposed Self: A Multilevel Model of Shame and Ethical Behavior, published by the Journal of Business Ethics. In it, the authors examine: "How an organization's culture normalizes behavior (whether unethical and corrupt, or ethical and decent) and the impact on workplace norms." When considering sexual assault, what should be our workplace norms?
Biden admonished business leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos in January, on sexual violence against women: "We have to change the culture," saying, "the most cowardly men I know are the ones who know it's happening, but do nothing because it's not good for them," As reported by The Huffington Post.
The Vice President has been a tireless advocate for the It's On Us campaign. He teamed up with Lady Gaga at the Oscars, urging everyone to "take the pledge," as follows:
To RECOGNIZE that non-consensual sex is sexual assault.
To IDENTIFY situations in which sexual assault may occur.
To INTERVENE in situations where consent has not or cannot be given.
To CREATE an environment in which sexual assault is unacceptable and survivors are supported.
The It's On Us initiative has been largely aimed at college campuses. But can the principles apply to business environments? Rebecca Kaplan, Director of the It's On Us campaign said: "It's On Us can absolutely relate to the business community — many of the partners that we work with have changed their corporate environment after getting involved with It's On Us. SB Nation has even changed their community blog guidelines and have banned language that perpetuates rape culture.
Business leaders can take the principles of It's On Us to change their own corporate culture — it's important for business leaders to create environments in which bystander intervention is applauded and survivors feel supported. It's On Us at its core is about empowering everyone to be a part of the solution to end sexual violence. We all have a role to play."
Are Mackey and Conscious Capitalism creating environments in which survivors feel supported?
In his statement, Mackey said loyalty is an important value to him; generally, an admirable quality. But in pledging loyalty to his friend Gafni, has Mackey crossed a boundary — hurting survivors of sexual assault, violating their dignity, and obstructing culture change? Clohessy said: "Mackey's declaration of loyalty to a credibly accused child molester amounts to dangerous disloyalty to kids and survivors. We all like to stand by our friends. But at a certain point, when kids' safety and survivors' healing is at stake, responsible adults put the vulnerability of youngsters and survivors ahead of personal preferences."
Nonprofit organization SurvJustice works to increase the prospect of justice for survivors by "holding both perpetrators and enablers of sexual violence accountable." Myka Held said in March: "Gafni's attempts to shift blame to his young victim, stating that she was '14 going on 35' are despicable and show both his lack of remorse for his crime* and his inability to recognize the seriousness of his crime.* For these reasons alone, it is important for us as a society to hold him accountable, and part of the mechanisms for doing so require us to demand that his powerful friends end their support." (*Gafni has never been charged with a crime.) What about business ethics and corporate governance considerations?
Donde Plowman, James Jr. and Susan Stuart Endowed Dean of the College of Business Administration at the University of Nebraska said of Mackey, who spoke at the University last week: "He challenges business leaders to reimagine capitalism, and encourages a way of doing business grounded in ethical consciousness." Are Mackey and Conscious Capitalism acting in a way that is grounded in ethical consciousness?
Doug White, former director of the Graduate Program in Fundraising Management at Columbia University, where he taught board governance and ethics, and author of the book The Nonprofit Challenge: Integrating Ethics into the Purpose and Promise of Our Nation's Charities, said:"There are three basic categories to consider: 1. those actions governed by law, 2. decisions that have no impact — like where you'll eat dinner tonight, and 3. what we're talking about in this case — things people care about, but where the law doesn't go. Gafni's uncontested, public admission of having sex with a 14-year old girl is relevant. By definition, as a minor, she could not grant consent. By ignoring this relevant information, Mackey and Conscious Capitalism are violating one of the basic mores of ethical decision-making." What is the responsibility of members of the board of directors of Conscious Capitalism, Inc.?
Sandra J. Sucher, Professor of Management Practice, Joseph L. Rice, III Faculty Fellow at Harvard Business School and author of the book The Moral Leader: Challenges, Tools, and Insights, said: "Mackey's fellow board members of Conscious Capitalism have legal duties of care and loyalty to the nonprofit. They need to ask how Mackey's association with Gafni may affect the reputation of the organization." Is Mackey's pledge of loyalty to Gafni damaging to the reputation of Conscious Capitalism?
Brad Hecht, Vice President and Chief Research Officer at Reputation Institute, commented in January on Mackey's affiliation with Gafni, and its impact on Whole Foods' reputation. Is Conscious Capitalism facing the same reputational risk? Hecht said:"As the founder of, primary spokesman for, and emotional leader of Whole Foods Market, John Mackey has a responsibility to immediately and directly address this issue. Whether he is willing to admit it or not, Mackey's personal actions and associations will have a direct impact on the reputation of Whole Foods Market, and therefore the willingness of customers to support the company he leads."
Mackey cited "the presumption of innocence" in his pledge of loyalty to Gafni. By legal definition, he is correct. But is adjudication the best gauge for deciding to whom we pledge our loyalty?
Myka Held said: "Given the dismal rates of prosecution of rapists, and the fact that even rapists who are prosecuted are not always convicted or appropriately punished, we cannot use the wide-spread failure of the criminal justice system as an excuse to let offenders off the hook."
Bill Murray, founder, and CEO, NAASCA (National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse), wrote in an article Justifying Institutional Enabling: "John Mackey's public position is that Gafni enjoys 'the presumption of innocence,' and Conscious Capitalism, Inc., the global nonprofit that Mackey co-founded, says that should be the end of it. But Marc Gafni has admitted his guilt. There is no 'presumption of innocence' here. There is an escape from justice. And it's an escape that is available and all too well known by clever predators in New York State." How has Gafni avoided facing any criminal charges or civil complaints?
A legislative battle rages in New York State over the Child Victims Act, a bill proposing statute of limitations reform for claims of child sexual abuse. The Catholic Church paid $2 million to lobby firms to block the legislation, as reported by the New York Daily News in May.
The Protect NY Kids Political Action Committee is backing candidates who will support the bill. Sara Kabakov joined lawmakers in Albany in May, lobbying for the legislation.
Nikki DuBose, a board member of Peaceful Hearts Foundation, founded by Matthew Sandusky, wrote on Huffington Post: "Regardless of whether or not Gafni was ever charged with a crime, or in spite of the statutes of limitations, we are obligated as a society to support victims of child sexual abuse and give them a voice."
Attorney Mitchell Garabedian (portrayed by Stanley Tucci in the film Spotlight) said:"The laws [in New York] are woefully inadequate. They are revictimizing the victims. In order to prevent child sexual abuse, there needs to be a change. There is no reason why due process concerns would be any different from what they are for murder." What is Conscious Capitalism's response to all of this? A spokesperson for the organization reiterated their statement last month, distancing from Gafni, as I first reported in March on Epic Times. But Conscious Capitalism has not responded to complaints about Mackey's pledge of loyalty to Gafni. Their spokesperson emailed me in June:"I'd respectfully request that you look for an alternative avenue for your crusade against Marc [Gafni] so that our team can continue our focus on elevating humanity through business."
"Conscious Capitalism exists to elevate humanity," according to their slogan.
Doug White said, "Elevating humanity? Well, that sounds insincere." The Conscious Capitalism CEO Summit is "designed to activate a deep conversation," according to their flyer. In the interest of elevating humanity, are Conscious Capitalism proponents willing to have a conversation about this matter?
John Paul Rollert, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Behavioral Science at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and writer of the "In-House Ethicist" for the Chicago Booth Review said:"As a moral matter, I find it notable that, as I understand it from our discussion, Conscious Capitalism doesn't want to have a larger conversation about this situation. If we look at the Sandusky problem at Penn State, or abusive priests in the Catholic Church, or the current Bill Cosby situation, we sometimes ask, 'How could this have happened?' One answer may be that people who are in power inadvertently create a culture of silence around them, with others not wanting to speak up or even address a situation for fear of harming their own interests. Who knows if that is the case here, but the unwillingness to have a frank conversation can protect and embolden an abuser and, in some cases, allow for problems of abuse to flourish for decades."
Conscious Capitalism, Whole Foods Market, and Brené Brown have all blocked me on Twitter. Are other proponents of Conscious Capitalism willing to have a conversation about this situation?
U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez is also a scheduled speaker at the Conscious Capitalism CEO Summit. Biden swore him into office in 2013. What does Secretary Perez think of this matter? His office has not responded to email and phone inquiries.
I believe Mackey and Conscious Capitalism genuinely want to do the right thing. A slide from one of their presentations shows "Qualities and Virtues of Conscious Leaders" include: loving and caring, high integrity, emotionally intelligent, and spiritually evolved. Their values suggest they might want to help facilitate healing for survivors of sexual assault, and contribute to culture change.
How can Mackey, Conscious Capitalism, and Whole Foods Market effect healing, resolution, and culture change? Since they may have inadvertently created a culture of silence, they can rectify by publicly announcing remedial actions.
Here is a proposal:
- Rescind the pledge of loyalty to Gafni. Mackey needs to issue a statement of disavowal. His pledge of loyalty is an affront, offensive to all survivors of sexual assault, and damaging to efforts to change the culture.
- Apologize to all survivors of sexual assault, especially and including Gafni's accusers.
- Take the It's On Us pledge, and partner with the campaign to institute a formal program so that survivors of sexual assault feel supported.
- Pledge support for the Child Victims Act of New York, the statute of limitations reform for claims of child sexual abuse. Donate to the Protect NY Kids PAC.
- Create an endowment fund, supporting academic programs that research the prevalence of child sexual abuse, outcomes, and preventive strategies.
- Initiate a grant-making program to support nonprofit advocacy organizations that are raising awareness of child sexual abuse and prevention.
It's impossible to ignore the cultural backdrop of this story; the collective outrage ignited by Donald Trump's recorded comments about sexually assaulting women, first reported by The Washington Post last week.
Let's not consider the Mackey-Gafni matter in a vacuum, but rather, as part of the larger fabric of society, and ask how we might truly elevate humanity.
"If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a village to abuse one,"
Said Mitchell Garabedian's character in Spotlight. And it takes a village to heal one.
Call to action:
Urge John Mackey and Conscious Capitalism leaders to demonstrate their support for survivors of sexual assault.

Seinabo Sey started her Scandinavian tour on Friday in Uppsala, Sweden. It took place in the beautiful, modern venue of UKK. The lighting was magnificent, absolutely stunning and made every sung word stronger. It was an emotional and personal performance by one talented 22-year old.
After the first song, "Pistols at Dawn", in the midst of an applauding audience Sey said "I'm so happy, I tried to be cool but I just can't."
The audience couldn't hide their excitement either. It only took a few seconds until everyone was on their feet, dancing, clapping and singing along when "Hard Time" started a few songs in.
The atmosphere changed suddenly, just before performing "Burial" she explained that the song was written for her father, whom passed away two years ago. She said it, started singing and at the end, got so emotional she had to take a few steps away from the microphone. The emotional roller coaster was uplifting and intimate and made the lyrics clearer and even more relatable.
The concert ended with "Younger", Sey's debut single which lead to recognition in all of the Nordic countries and not very surprisingly found its way to American and British record labels. Yet again, we all stood up. The song was followed by what seemed like a short eternity of applause and shoutings.
In a few months she'll release a full length album and I'm positive that it'll be a complete, worldwide success. Seinabo Sey will most definitely become one of Sweden's largest musical exports since ABBA and Roxette.
I've never experienced nonstop goosebumps, from head to toe, from the first note until the final applaud settled. Something else that I've never experienced is liking every single song from a singer. If you haven't listened to her EP:s, For Madeleine (dedicated to her mother) and For Maudo (dedicated to her father), do it A.S.A.P.
My plan was to tell you what song of the night was the best but it's an impossible task. It was an impeccable concert, with all songs equally brilliant. The voice, oh, that voice. I would travel the world to hear it live again. It's one of those things everyone should get to experience.
After the concert Instagram was flooded with appraisals. People commented on Seinabo Sey's posts, uploaded photos and clips from the show and hashtagged words like #speachless.
"Thank you for an absolutely amazing concert, it was the best I've ever been to. Laughter, tears and so many emotions."
– emelieahnfelt
– sockret whom also uploaded a photo with the caption that Beyonce's almost uninteresting in comparison.
"You were absolutely fantastic and so truthful and humble. Cried like a baby"
– sisselanelander
Even I had to leave a comment, though I couldn't express anything in words so I just used the red heart-emoji, twice. Okay, three times.
Undoubtedly the best and most personal concert I've ever been to. I give it 5 out of 5.. uhm Nordic countries?
Complete tour schedule:
10 april: Uppsala, Uppsala Konsert och Kongress (SE)
11 april: Oslo, Rockefeller (NO)

Why Do Pupils Experience As If They Need Them?
I lately had the chance to speak with a former writer for a prestigious essay publishing company and his knowledge in the industry.
"I have seen the continuous growth with this industry for years. When I turned part of the staff for Speed Essay, I believed we would be publishing academic material for pupils with below-average capacity. I was in for a surprise. We got instructions from all types of students – lazy kinds who only need to get an easier way out of a dirty condition, in addition to actually wise young adults who only could not find the full time to do their own work.
I was persuaded that pupils who experienced Harvard, Berkeley, Oxford, Cambridge, and other prestigious US and UK universities works significantly tougher compared to the people mentioned to "secondary" schools. In fact, they do function difficult; and that is the actual reasons why they cannot manage to fail. In some cases, the assignment's requirements are so complicated that it's burdensome for the pupils to know what the true question is. The problems of ESL pupils are even greater; it's extremely difficult to allow them to produce degree-level academic content. Because the prices for plagiarism are significant, they've to depend on essay writing solutions as an answer that gives distinctive content by the given deadline."
Some data – Who purchases papers on line?
The article writing business is a source of fascinating mathematical data. California, New York and Texas are the most popular parts where instructions were coming from. Stanford, UCLA, Berkeley, NYU, Columbia, University of Houston, and other institutions from these claims are noted for their competitive systems. A student who expectations to scholar from one of these brilliant universities usually must rely on "unorthodox" techniques to cope with all issues imposed by the professors. Since academic publishing has become one of the very prominent aspects of the academic process, the continuous progress of the custom-writing market is obviously justified.
The most popular types of material required from /write-my-paper/ are documents, study papers, and MA thesis. Students have an abundance of essays and study papers to write, so there's nothing uncommon in the fact professional authors generally deal with these kinds of assignments. When it comes to subjects, students many generally battle with tasks for Business, English language, and Administration courses.
According to these within the, buying documents is a necessary a reaction to significant underlying dilemmas in the instructional system. All college and school teachers will show you the same thing: to them, the behave of buying papers on the web is no different than plagiarism. However, some argue that the problem is more technical than that declaring, that this content finished by professional authors isn't plagiarized. It is wholly special, well-researched and properly-referenced. Each time a customer acquisitions this sort of item, he has the right to put it to use as a source for still another paper, or just submit it as his own. The instructor may imagine that the student did not write a particular report, but there is number method to prove such claims. Higher training is definitely an business on its own. Universities accept more applicants, including international students who do not have the needed understand of the English language to create extraordinary academic content. On one other hand, they don't give successful help that would help these pupils to suit into the system.
The advantages of using custom-writing companies are immense for foreign students. In addition, pupils with part-time jobs, older pupils who've people and those who find themselves going right on through tough particular struggles just need help proceed through all difficulties they face. The quick development of the custom-writing business is really a symptom of the truly amazing disadvantages within the instructional system, which put students by way of a lot of strain and emotional struggle.
What Concerning This Ethical Debate?
You know the definition of being disloyal will be, and merely stating that the actual tasks are very complicated for almost all or even that they may not necessarily collect adequate aid coming from teachers, as well as have enough time to be able to spend for the operate won't alter the phrase being unfaithful, as well as allow it to become in any kind of way. Speaking from both ends of the debate, you will find those which feel as though useful developing very lazy individuals and also serving growing a good unprepared workforce.
Creating is a crucial ability that's applied to numerous elements of lifetime, specially for those who are getting into the actual employees, whether or not they actually so as a staff or maybe an enterprise owner.
Along with sales and marketing communications being an important proficiency for anyone going into the actual employees, our education system understands this particular and strives to prepare the students by demanding these phones develop that talent via composing assignments. By outsourcing tools the repair, individuals, are usually hungry independently of the chance fortify their own sales and marketing communications along with publishing skills.
Will be teachers and also educators which hard to succeed in that will a lot of want to possibility a hard penalty charges to become caught being disloyal, in lieu of seeking enable? There are plenty of additional options accessible for international, in addition to some other student that may be battling to keep up, through research categories, to be able to products in educational institutions along with Schools, just like publishing centers. Their work need, having said that, is that the undergraduate even make a feat, through creating the conclusion to implement themselves.
