- Levels of luxury and scenes of wonderment only the Maldives can provide
- We love...
- the sunset dolphin cruise aboard the resort's own private yacht.
The moment you step onto the white sand beach beside Fairmont Maldives Sirru Fen Fushi, time stands still and stresses wash away. Time constraints do not exist here and nothing but crystal-clear waters and palm trees gently swaying in the Maldivian breeze lay out before you.
Conserving this sense of unaffected serenity is the sole purpose of the 24-hour Villa Host assigned to your villa and every member of staff. From those preparing meals in the three restaurants (Raha Market Restaurant, Azure Seafood Restaurant and Kata Japanese Restaurant), drinks in the bar and housekeepers taking care of the one and two-bedroom villas.
Some villas are located over the water, some beside the beach and the Tented Jungle Villa hides away in the forest. Many of them have plunge pools, outdoor showers, over-sized bath tubs and face ocean, garden or beach views, which are all seen from the Willow Stream Spa at Fairmont Maldives.
Nestled within a 2,000-square-metre space dedicated to physical and mental well-being, facilities include a 50-metre serenity pool, meditation garden and ocean-view yoga studio. The natural surroundings play an important role in the treatments by drawing upon the waters of the Indian Ocean and herbs from the surrounding gardens; even the aromatherapy oils are made by local islanders. There's also a strong sense of local culture throughout the treatment menu, which offers Ayurveda experiences and sensory journeys. Plus, an important focus on fitness levels at the Fairmont Fit centre where personal trainers, classes, tennis and kick boxing all take place.

(ROCHESTER, N.Y.) – For the second time this season, senior Seth Henry (Fulton, Md./Reservoir) of the Carnegie Mellon University men's basketball team was named the University Athletic Association (UAA) Men's Basketball Athlete of the Week. Henry led the Tartans to a 2-0 week including an 85-71 victory over Case Western Reserve University to open UAA play.
In the two contests, Henry averaged 19.5 points and 8.5 rebounds while shooting 84.2% (16-19) from the floor and 87.5% (7-8) from the foul line. In the win over CWRU, Henry led the way with his fourth double-double of the season, as he scored a game-best 25 points, after converting 10-of-13 from the floor, and grabbed 13 rebounds. He also recorded two assists and a career-best two blocks in the win over the Spartans. Earlier in the week in 18 minutes of action, the senior scored 14 points after going a perfect 6-of-6 from the floor in the Tartans' 90-84 overtime victory against Marymount.
Carnegie Mellon will continue UAA play when it hosts Brandeis University (8-4, 1-0) on Friday, January 11 at 8:00 p.m.

Smartphone Moto Z new generation will get the Snapdragon SoC 835 and will be running Android 7.1.1
In the database test ON Geekbench, a description of the smartphone Moto Z the second generation. More precisely, the device now appears there under the catalog number XT1650 — the same as the current model now.
But the parameters are different. In particular, it is based on Snapdragon SoC 835, that is, the new Moto Z will continue to be the flagship of the brand. RAM will be 4 GB, like the first Motorola Moto Z.
As the OS will perform Android from 7.1.1. Undoubtedly this is good, but it is not known when will the new product. The past generation was released in summer, so it is likely that the new will have to wait another half a year. Recall, Lenovo promised to keep the concept of modularity and compatibility of existing modules with the new generation of smartphones.

The subversive movies of May '68
Fifty years ago this month the world was convulsed by the astonishing "evenements" that exploded on the streets of Paris in May 1968. What started as a student protest detonated the biggest general strike in history.
To commemorate the epic events there is a series of interesting screenings, exhibitions and talks planned throughout May organised by the Institut Francais and the British Film Institute. Inevitably these are mainly in London, but the BFI is touring to other cities with at least some of these movies.

Dealing with family law issues?
Family law generally concerns domestic relations and family-related matters such as marriage, civil unions, domestic partnerships, adoptions, paternity, guardianships, domestic abuse, surrogacy, child custody, child abduction, the dissolution of marriage and associated issues. Each state has its own set of family laws, and traveling across state borders can sometimes affect your rights and those of your family.
Contrary to popular belief, seeking the advice of a family law attorney does not necessarily mean that something is amiss in your family. A family law attorney can help negotiate prenuptial/premarital agreements for clients in anticipation of marriage or advise same-sex couples on relevant legal issues affecting their relationship. They also can help with adoption proceedings and other procedures involving children.
Family law attorneys often do represent clients seeking a divorce, annulment or legal separation, and the complicated issues that can arise as a result. Although domestic abuse is a criminal offense, some family law attorneys are skilled at handling these situations, as they are often entangled with other family law issues.
Some jurisdictions certify lawyers as family law specialists, which means these attorneys have met the certifying body's minimum requirements for education, experience, and examination.
No-Fault Proceeding: A civil case in which parties may resolve their dispute without a formal finding of error or fault.
Paternity Suit: A lawsuit to determine the father of a child whose parents were not married when the child was born.

Strong Russian flows boosted gross imports into Central Europe last month, but net imports slipped owing to a sharp y/y increase in reverse flows to Ukraine.
Aggregate Russian flows into Europe were up by 0.35 bcm (3%) y/y at 12.97 bcm last month thanks to strong flows through all entry points other than Poland. Flows through Poland stopped in late June owing to a gas quality issue but resumed within a few days.
Net imports into Slovakia slipped by 50 mcm y/y (10%) as high imports were offset by slightly stronger exports. Russian exports to Slovakia via Ukraine rose by 0.91 bcm (24%) to 4.69 bcm, while reverse flows into Ukraine were 0.71 bcm, having been nearly zero in June 2016. Russian flows from Slovakia into Austria grew y/y by 0.15 bcm at 3.70 bcm, but net exports from Austria to its neighbours were even stronger, leaving net imports down by 0.38 bcm (24%) y/y. Exports to Hungary were up by 39% y/y 0.40 bcm, just shy of the record 0.42 bcm exported in August 2014. Total net imports into the Czech Republic rose by 80 mcm (8%) to 1.09 bcm because of sharply lower gross exports, though gross imports also fell last month. Hungary's net imports rose by 0.90 bcm (14%) y/y owing to high flows from both Ukraine and Austria. Net imports to Poland dropped by 0.16 bcm (12%) to 1.07 bcm in June, owing to slower exports on to Germany.
Aggregate stocks in the Baumgarten region posted a 2.9 bcm stockbuild, 0.20 bcm less y/y. The slowdown was mostly in Austria, where stocks increased by 0.75 bcm in June, 0.25 bcm less y/y. Baumgarten stocks stood at 11 bcm by 1 July, 2.8 bcm lower y/y, while Ukrainian stocks finished June at 11.6 bcm, up by 1.05 bcm y/y.
The TTF-AVTP D+1 basis averaged -1.56 €/MWh in June, out from -1.43 €/MWh in May. Strong demand for reverse flows into Ukraine that lowered net imports into the region may have provided some support for AVTP prices, pushing them further above those at the TTF and thus discouraging injections in Austria and Hungary. The TTF-AVTP M+1 basis also widened in June, averaging -1.60 €/MWh compared to -1.26 €/MWh in May.
Russian flows are also expected to remain higher y/y for the rest of this quarter, which should keep Central Europe well supplied, while the need for storage injections will support the market. Gas will still be needed for export to Ukraine, while forecasts of hot weather and the resulting boost to power demand will keep the AVTP at a healthy premium to the TTF.

Zimbabwe Eyes Russian Beef Market
By Elita Chikwati
HARARE, Zimbabwe, December 12, 2014 (The Herald) -- Zimbabwe may soon start exporting beef to the lucrative Russian market as it emerged that negotiations to that effect are already underway, a Cabinet minister said.
Speaking after a meeting with the visiting Russian delegation at his Ngungunyana Building offices, Agriculture, Mechanisation and Irrigation Development Minister Dr Joseph Made said a Zimbabwean technical mission was expected to visit Russia to familiarise itself with the protocols required by that country when importing beef.
"The technical team will also look at the vaccines and medicines Zimbabwe may require for the livestock sector as we are considering exporting beef to Russia.
"We will also have a team from Russia visiting Zimbabwe to look at all our livestock sector and the veterinary requirements on the ground so they can have a full profile of diseases affecting the livestock," he said.
The meeting also agreed that Zimbabwe will produce seed for Russia as the country does not allow genetically modified crops.
Russia recently banned the production and importation of GMO products and Dr Made said Zimbabwe could take advantage of the situation to produce clean seed for that country.
"We should take advantage of the situation to produce seed, be it vegetable, maize and other commodities that are difficult to produce in Russia. The technical team will also look at plant quarantine and phytosanitary issues.
"We have inherent natural conditions and we have fought the battle of introduction of GMOs. We will seize the opportunity, as our vegetative period is long even though we have winter," he said.
Dr Made said it was important that the Russian delegation emphasised on the need to produce wheat and edible oil in Zimbabwe as a strategic food reserve.
He said cotton production was also an important crop in food production as it contributed towards the production of edible oils.
"We agreed to rehabilitate silos and to build new ones," he said
The head of delegation, Professor Igor Avakumov, said Russia imported beef, fruits, cheese and other agricultural products for above $40 billion every year from the European and United States of America markets.
"We had sanctions imposed on us and the leadership decided to cancel imports from Europe and America. The import directions have been re-oriented to Latin America, Asia and Africa.
"We are also interested in importing citrus fruits as we do not have much in Russia," he said.
He said Russia was also interested in establishing grain mills and oil extraction plants in Zimbabwe to reduce hunger in Africa.
"Flour and oil are the first basic food products in cases of emergency. Zimbabwe will be able to return to its status as the breadbasket of Africa," he said.
Professor Auyakumov said agricultural production in Russia was increasing as the farmers, both large-scale and small-scale, were subsidised by government.
Relations between Zimbabwe and Russia date back to the liberation struggle when it supported nationalists who toppled the Smith regime.

BBC- Arsenal Confirm Star Man As Petr Cech Replacement
Follow ooh to be a Gooner on Facebook and Twitter for more latest Arsenal news, match analysis, transfer news, injury news, team news and rumours from reliable sources around the World.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has reportedly identified Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Bernd Leno as his number one choice to replace Petr Cech.
The Gunners are expected to be in the market for a new shot-stopper this summer following a string of errors from Cech, who has made more mistakes leading directly to goals than any other player in the Premier League this season.
The 35-year-old is not expected to retire at the end of the season, but Arsenal are searching for possible replacements and have reportedly earmarked Leno as their first choice.
Leno has also been linked with a move to Liverpool – who are looking to upgrade from Loris Karius and Simon Mignolet this summer – while Napoli are likely to provide further competition for his signature.
However, Napoli are reportedly only willing to offer £15m for the Germany international, meaning that Arsenal could land his services with a £25m bid.
Leno has started all 31 of Leverkusen's matches across all competitions this season.

Welcome back to another day of Thea's 12 Days of Younique (Christmas, Holidays, Spotlight) whatever you want to call it. Last year it was of Christmas but this year I thought I'd be more general to those who are not ones who partake in Christmas…
12 Days – Day 2
For today, I thought I'd highlight a simple product that I use every day, and you know what, it's just as relevant for men as it is the ladies – it's the Illuminate Clean for normal/dry skin (or Clear for Oily skin).
"Made with Horse Chestnut, Ginkgo Biloba, and Super Leaf Extracts. For normal/dry skin."
What are Illuminate's Ingredients?
As I am sure you care about your skin and what goes on it, I thought you might like to know the list of ingredients in our naturally based cleanser.
Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Behenyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Glycol Distearate, Sodium Cocoyl Hydrolyzed Amaranth Protein, Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate, Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) Bark Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Olea Europaea (Olive) Leaf Extract, Epilobium Angustifolium Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract, Plantago Lanceolata Leaf Extract, Betula Alba (Birch) Bark Extract, Nymphaea Coerulea (Blue Lotus) Flower Extract, Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Extract, Gluconolactone, Alcohol, Citric Acid, Alcohol Denat., Potassium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol, Calcium Gluconate, Sodium Metabisulfite, Isopropyl Alcohol, Sorbic Acid, Sodium Benzoate
I'll be honest with you, I'd become lazy and complacent when it came to skin care over the last few years (ok, decades). This cleanser though has become a daily ritual for my skin. I just have it in my shower and as I am showering every day – I clean my face in less than a minute, and my skin looks and feels better than ever! Don't just take my word for it, try it out yourself and if you don't love it too, then take advantage of Younique's 14-day Love it Guarantee!!
Two Other Reminders:
1) I can't recommend the December Kudos highly enough. You could get the Splurge Cream Eye Shadow set of 3 – and keep the FREE eye liner for yourself for being such a good friend or family member.
2) You can now buy Younique by Thea Gift Vouchers (in the UK 0ther areas by request)
Finally just in case you missed it, you can find my "12 Days – Day 1″ here.

Silver - Destiny by Steve Jensen
Wizards and magical creatures are just the beginning of his fantastic adventure as Sly, later called Silver, embarks on a journey of self-realization and growth through an unknown land.
Throughout his quest he meets old family and new friends who he comes to rely on and care for.
Silver is thrust into an unknown world and must overcome his fears, overcome his past, and overcome all odds to become the one... the one true Good Wizard King.
I started reading Silver-Destiny with great enthusiasm, the start promised me a good book, but unfortunately the book feels unfinished.
The idea behind the world and story is interesting and I felt the urge to keep reading to see how it would end, to see what would happen to the boy Silver in this world that he knew nothing about. But the whole time the unfinished feel bothered me.
There are typos and grammar mistakes, example: "I belive he was making his way down by the wharf tomorrow morning to sell some items to the fisherman like he always does this time of year,".
There is also a tendency to repeat information and over explain the situation, at some points in the story I felt like I was reading a story for young children or a script for a cartoon.
Final impression…
A good draft for an exciting story in an interesting world, with vibrating characters and I would love to read it again in a refined version.
Steve Jensen is a writer and a creator. Not an inventor of material things, but a weaver of fantastic worlds, a deserter of reality, and a mind trickster. He lives with his wife, two daughters, and furry guinea pigs somewhere between the real world and a world contained only within the boundaries of your imagination.

For those of you fired up about the idea of a laser-blasting 747, a word of advice: relax.Sure, the Airborne Laser, or ABL, managed late last year to achieve "first light" turn on its ray gun. But it's going to be a long time before that laser is loaded onto the plane, and the thing starts flying.ABL, long criticized for busting budgets and cracking deadlines, was supposed to start zapping missiles in 2002. Then it was pushed back to 2005.This week, at a Washington conference on laser weapons, the Missile Defense Agency's Lt. Gus Valez wouldn't even hazard a guess as to when those tests might begin.In the coming year, Lt. Valez said, the Agency would fly the plane, with its beam control and fire control equipment loaded aboard, but turned off to see if the stuff could handle the stress. Then would come test flights with the gear switched on. During this time, on the ground, the laser weapon would continue to have the bugs shaken out of it. Only after all these tasks were completed, Lt. Valez noted, would the arduous process of integrating the laser into the 747 begin.As Lt. Valez spoke, a PowerPoint slide over his right shoulder gave a timeline, with a first ABL in-air blast coming sometime between 2006 and 2009. But when asked to confirm that schedule, he demurred."We're not predicting a date right now," Lt. Valez answered.

Linda and Larry Jarrett are true West Virginians. They both got undergraduate degrees at West Virginia University. They both spent most of their professional lives working as engineers in the Kanawha Valley.
But toward the end of his career, Larry's work transferred him to New England.
That's when the couple realized how much it meant having a second home in West Virginia.
They saw a sign for The Woods during a road trip home as they were traveling on Interstate 81.
"So we decided to just go and explore it one day, because it was such a long drive from Connecticut to Charleston," she said.
Some high school friends already had second homes in West Virginia, so it made sense to give it some thought.
"We came to The Woods and just fell in love with it," she said.
"We're both West Virginians in our souls."
"We'd spent most of our lives here, but we'd been out of state for about 12 years. And it was only about five or six hours so we could easily drive that on a weekend, the family could come and we could all be together," she said, adding that her father was still living in Princeton at the time when they purchased their second home in 1999.
The Woods' proximity to major cities like Washington was important because they needed an easily accessible airport since their grown children lived out of state. It's only about an hour and a half drive from The Woods to Washington's airports.
"Here we are close to three major airports and they are just a short drive away. We also liked the fact that there were plenty of major, very famous medical centers – like Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, WVU Hospital in Morgantown – since we were getting older," she said.
In the end, The Woods won out – even though the couple visited other places in Virginia and North Carolina as they looked for a place to retire.
"We both love the mountains and didn't really want to be away from them, so this was the right place for us."
It's also nice to live on a golf course, and that means being able to play with friends without having trouble getting a tee time.
"I like the ability to live in a suburban community but away from the intensity of the high-density civilization," he said.
But also community matters here.
"Knowing the kind of people who are in West Virginia made a difference," she said. "In West Virginia, if you need help people come. But if you don't want to be bothered, they won't bother you unless you want them involved in your life. It sort of goes back to the state motto, 'Mountaineers are always free.'"

Of the many good reasons for heading into the countryside to stare at the sky during the dog days of summer, perhaps none captures the imagination as much as a chance to see the annual mid-August Perseid meteor shower-one of the most visible displays of its kind.
From a strictly scientific stance, Space.com describes the Perseids as "the dross" of the Swift-Tuttle Comet, making its 130-year orbit around the sun. When Earth passes in proximity of the comet's orbit, that debris ("mostly the size of sand grains with a few peas and marbles tossed in") blasts high-speed into the planet's atmosphere-creating the phenomenon of multiple shooting stars.
But the meteors, sightings of which have been recorded for almost 2,000 years, are also fancifully referred to as "The Tears of St. Lawrence" in honor of the Aug. 10 feast day of Laurentius. That third-century Christian, history tells us, took the meaning of martyrdom to new heights by helpfully suggesting to his executioners-as he was literally being grilled-how he should be properly cooked.
Pre-excursion research on watching the 2004 Perseids in San Diego County also uncovered the data of renowned astronomers-one of them Tom Van Flandern of Washington, D.C., who predicted this year's shower might be "unusually strong, albeit brief." The optimum local viewing time would reportedly span the hours between midnight, Aug. 11, and dawn, Aug. 12.
Moreover, seeking advice on vantage points as sheltered as possible from city-light pollution, I learned the shower would attract spectators who, like me, were far less well-versed in the complexities of the night skies.
"I am going out there, even if I go alone," Jack, an online meteor-watching contact from the Clairemont area, who has observed the Perseids numerous times, wrote me. He divulged his plan to head east on I-8 to the Sunrise Highway exit, then north toward Julian on the peak 2004 Perseid night. His description of the location included approximately five pullouts beside the road where, at each, anywhere from 25 to 200 people might station themselves through the hours of the event.
Taking Jack's advice, late on Aug. 11, I drove up through Route S-1's parched but colorful chaparral, and quickly arrived at an ear-popping 6,000-foot elevation at the summit of isolated Mount Laguna. Just past midnight, the surrounding woods seemed devoid of virtually any illumination. Entering a narrow lane leading to the Desert View Picnic Area, the sight of a lone male hiker was at first startling, then comforting-indicating other observers had indeed gathered there.
In a tree-studded grove commanding an unobstructed view of the distant Anza-Borrego, I stretched out supine on a blanket spread across a sandy embankment, stared straight up at an immense, clear and ink-black sky carpeted by countless, sparkling stars-and waited. Nearby, but invisible in the pitch blackness, were perhaps several dozen other people-families with children, couples, groups of teens-identifiable only by voices and laughter that rang abnormally loud in the night air as they watched from lawn chairs, sleeping bags or picnic tables. Thin flashlight beams pierced the darkness as newcomers gingerly navigated to vacant spots.
Suddenly, a bright point of light-a twirling, smoke-like trail streaking in its wake-etched across the sky, followed by fainter, smaller darts flashing at diverse angles. Every sighting-no matter the shooting star's size-was greeted from the shadows by awed gasps and exclamations ("Did you see that one?!"). A child's voice announced that 65 meteors had passed within the hour.
As the night progressed, and the frequency of meteor-sightings intensified, a noise vaguely similar to heavy traffic unexpectedly and somewhat unnervingly roared up from the desert floor. For several long minutes, powerful gusts shook trees and swept not-ideal-for-stargazing amounts of sand into bystanders' eyes.
By 4:30 a.m., a thin crescent moon had risen above the badlands, and the sky became gradually more vibrant, but less star- and meteor-filled, as dawn approached. While some spectators drifted into sleep, voices throughout the overlook hushed down to scattered whispers ("That had to be a UFO!").
A few days later, anxious to compare my meteor-viewing experience with those of others, I e-mailed astronomer Van Flandern for an update on his 2004 Perseid predictions and received a somewhat cryptic-to-a-layperson response: "The results in a word: "Bingo!' This, of course, lends additional credence to the... "exploded-planet hypothesis,' which has these meteors escaping from orbits in a "debris cloud' around a comet nucleus instead of ejected into space via jets on the comet nucleus."
But, sadly, Jack's report was perhaps more typical of thousands of San Diegans for whom Aug. 12 was a regular workday: "I started out there about midnight, and it was overcast as long as I was driving east. So I only got to about Alpine and turned around. I saw nothing, really."That is," Jack lamented, "what is unfortunate about living in Clairemont. You cannot tell what the sky will be like 50 miles away."

Ran today with the Medway Runners (woop). We did a 5k route today, and I was really not feeling it at all. especially as the beginning of it was all uphill…not fun. I didn't run all of it, but I think I did quite well bearing in mind my ankles were killing me the whole way round.
This was my first 5k since I did Race For Life in June, and Pretty Muddy in July. I was really surprised to see that I had done the route just as fast as I did then, when I was training regularly. Shock, horror, what the heck. Maybe I can run? Who knew. We were going to do a bit less than 5k, as planned, but the lady I was running with – Ms. E – half forced me to do an extra bit to bring it up to the full 5. I'm glad she did, even though I was really tired and struggling with ankle pain.
Anywho, here's the stats:
Distance: 5.2 Kilometers
Total Time: 47:58
Moving Time: 44:49
Average Pace: 8:41/km
I have no idea how long I ran and how long I walked. But I'm okay with that, I think I did well despite walking for a lot of the uphill bits.
Hoping to go on Sunday's run, but this depends entirely on what I have on this weekend!
P.S. It's almost the weekend!

DAHLONEGA, GA – Designated player Morgan Curley lined an opposite-field, two-run, walk-off homer in the bottom of the seventh inning to propel Young Harris College to a 4-3 win over upset-minded Francis Marion University, Friday afternoon (May 3) in the quarterfinals of the Peach Belt Conference Softball Tournament.
Francis Marion (31-19) sees its season come to an end in heart-breaking fashion, while the third-seeded Mountain Lions (37-16) advanced to Saturday's semifinals.
Following an hour and 30 minute lightning delay, Francis Marion had retaken the lead at 3-2 with a pair of two-out run-scoring singles by seniors Jaimie Harney and Chelsea Welty in the top of the seventh. In the bottom of the frame, outfielder Katelynn Hodges reached on a fielding error and Curley followed with her homer over the left centerfield wall on a 2-2 pitch from FMU sophomore right-hander Katelyn Ellard (18-10).
Ellard was the tough-luck loser as she surrendered only four hits and three of the four runs were unearned. Welty led the Patriots at the plate with three hits, while twins Jaimie and Jessica Harney both collected two hits.
The Patriots took a 1-0 in their first half inning. Senior shortstop Taylor Johnson led off with a single to left centerfield, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by senior third baseman Angela Buccilli, and came home on an RBI single down the right field line by Jessica Harney.
Young Harris looked to answer back in the bottom of the first inning, but Buccilli made a sparkling defensive play at third base to end the inning and strand three Mountain Lion baserunners.
A liner by Johnson was snagged on a shoe-string catch in center to end the second inning and stand two Patriot runners. In the top of the fourth, Jaimie Harney and Welty both singled to lead off the frame and force a Young Harris pitching change. Louisa Disi (13-5) entered the game and struck out the next three FMU batters.
After the long first inning, Ellard settled down and retired eight straight Mountain Lion batters until a lightning delay interrupted the contest with two outs in the bottom of the fourth. Following that 40-minute delay, Ellard retired her ninth consecutive batter to end the fourth frame.
FMU again left two runners on in the fifth. In the bottom of the inning, two throwing errors by the Patriots sandwiched around a double by Curley led to the tying run. Two batters later, a sacrifice fly to center by second baseman Grace Botti played the go-ahead tally as Young Harris took a 2-1 advantage.
In the top of the seven, Jessica Harney lined a one-out double to right center to put the tying run on base. After she was replaced by pinch runner Madison Hatfield, the game entered its second lightning delay at 4:10 p.m. When play resumed – and after a ground out – freshman outfielder Danielle Karacson drew a two-out walk to put runners on first and second. Jaimie Harney then lined a single through the right side and Hatfield beat the throw home to knot the game at 2-2. Welty followed with a chopper through the left side that gave the Patriots a 3-2 advantage.
Six Patriots played their final game in the red, white, and blue: Buccilli, Johnson, Welty, Jennie Polak, and the Harney sisters.
Francis Marion's 31 victories represent a 12-win improvement over the 2018 campaign.
Young Harris 4, Francis Marion 3 (May 03, 2019 at Dahlonega, Ga.)
Francis Marion...... 100 000 2 - 3 10 3 (31-19)

The only place you couldn't find Winnie the Pooh after Japanese sensation Yuzuru Hanyu's short program at the Pyeongchang Olympics was in the kiss-and-cry area on television.
The International Olympic Committee's sponsorship rules don't allow it.
Otherwise, the golden bear that English author A.A. Milne created nearly a century ago could be found in all shapes and sizes inside Gangneung Ice Arena. There were people dressed in full costumes of the honey-hungry bear, others wearing only the ears, and hundreds of stuffed Pooh bears cascaded onto the ice when Hanyu completed a program that gave him an Olympic-record 111.68 points.
You might well have called it a Pooh storm.
"I don't think there are many athletes who are supported by so many fans, so I feel really privileged," he said. "I was full of joy because I can skate and because I appreciate the supporters."
AP Photo/Julie Jacobson
So where did this Winnie the Pooh thing start?
Well, when Hanyu began skating when he was about 4 years old, he would set a tissue box cover shaped like Winnie the Pooh on the scoring board in the rink for good luck. He kept bringing the charm to the rink as he rose through the ranks, and his Japanese fans quickly caught on.
Even his Canadian coach, Brian Orser, bought in, frequently bringing a Winnie the Pooh to the arena for practice. Hanyu often can be seen hugging one for good luck before a competition.
Pooh-mania really picked up steam when Hanyu won the world junior championship in 2010, and the Japanese media got ahold of the story. He was suddenly deluged with Winnie the Pooh bears every time he competed, the collection growing exponentially when he won Olympic gold at the 2014 Sochi Games.
It's going to grow even more after the Pyeongchang Games. There were so many bears on the ice Friday that the children tasked with collecting them had a hard time keeping up. And when they tried to stuff them into huge bags, they wound up with several dozen sitting in the corners of the arena.
Typically, Hanyu will keep one or two and the rest will be donated to charities.
AP Photo/David J. Phillip
Hanyu is trying to become to become the first man to win back-to-back Olympic titles since American figure skater Dick Button, who accomplished the feat in 1948 and 1952.
"We know how popular figure skating is in Japan. A lot of the Japanese fans also support other skaters," said Spain's Javier Fernandez, who is second with 107.58 points after the short program, and who admitted it was quite a sight seeing the Pooh-storm surrounding his rival.
Fernandez said he wasn't surprised by Hanyu's spectacular performance, complete with a quad loop, triple toe loop and a quad toe loop-triple toe loop combination _ even though the Japanese skater had been sidelined the last couple of months with an injury.
"Everyone is asking me if Yuzu is going to be ready," Fernandez said. "I'm like, 'It's Yuzu. Of course he's going to be ready.'"
In that case, better get your Pooh bears ready.

Q: Can you tell me how this came about?
JB: Among the idioms was the common structure for phrasing simultaneous opposites, "on the one hand this and on the other hand that." At some point I realized this could be an armature, a structure from which to hang the other idioms.
Q: But you called them dramas …
JB: Yes, they do describe polarities, opposites, incongruities where two opposites co-exist in the same space. There is a natural tension with this approach almost like boxing where there are two fighters in a ring both trying to prevail, or light and dark, or right and wrong, or vague this along with vague that.
Q: Is this why you have chosen to emphasize one over the other by the use of strong color so one idiom seems like it is the dominate one?
JB: Because one is featured more than another does not mean it is the winner, it just means it is a barker. The quieter idiom could be the stronger.

Written Summary:This video is Volume
2 of a 6 video series entitled Mastering Grappling & Groundfighting by Instructor
Scott Shields. This volume deals with Grappling Fundamentals. This tape is clearly
meant for beginners. If you are an intermediate to advance student you will want
to pass on this tape. If you are a beginning student this video does contain a lot
of very good basic information for someone interested in grappling. This series
draws from a combination of Jiu Jitsu, Sambo, Shootwrestling and Dumog.The
first 16 minutes of this video is dedicated to stabilizing the various positions.
The positions covered are the mount, cross body, scarfhold and the guard. A lot
of tapes fail to cover this area of ground fighting and just show various submission
holds without first covering the basics. Mr. Shields gives a good explanation of
how to control someone from each of these positions. He also shows how to properly
protect yourself from punches when you have someone in the guard position. I would
of liked to of seen Mr. Shields better explain the importance of switching from position
to position while your opponent is trying to escape. He does briefly cover this
but I felt a better explanation of this would of been helpful. Maybe this aspect
is covered on one of the other tapes in his series? At the end of the video though
there is a excellent segment where Scott demonstrates how to control and switch from
position to position. The next portion of the tape is dedicated to solo
and partner drills. These are all excellent drills and will improve a persons grappling
ability. Here is what you will see. Hip scape, dragging hip exercise, 4 corner drill,
shoulder bridging, leg extension drill, reverse squats and a spin drill. Mr Shields
also explains the practical use of each of these drills. On a final note
I would say that this video is quite expensive as it is only 36 minutes long and
I feel that $49.95 is asking a lot. The entire 6 tape series sells for $250.00.
I could think of a few other tape series I would like to own for that type of money
ie Mario Sperry series 1 or 2 (BTW I also think that Sperry's are overpriced). If
the price was lower on this series it would be graded higher. There actually is
a lot of very good (technically sound) information on this tape. Also I would of
liked to of been able to review the rest of the video's in the series. This video
is obviously just one piece of the puzzle and we at MAVR and our readers would be
able to get a better idea of how good this tape set is if we were able to review
the entire series.M.O.

WeeklyBeats.com / Music / BEAT$LORD DI$CGOLF's music / Bukake Firing Squad
I had the idea to mess with a halftime beat drop, in the style of N.E.R.D's track "Lemon"
I decided the hi hat rhythm should stay constant when I drop the drums to halftime.
What was originally an excersice of rhythmic manipulation in that vein quickly developed into something completely different throughout the majority of the track. The longer second part contrasts demonically with that of the short first part.
I ran a 707 ride cymbal through a vocoder set through noise band.
I created all bass plugins from scratch.
The timpanious bass sound found in the second part is proprietary however and I will not divulge my secrets (-:<

This track is kinda nutty...I love it!
Halftime beat drop worked well! Proprietary Timpani™ is the best Timpani.
sounds like you had heaps of fun writing this one

Mental health key to physical health...
One of our latest photo shoots took us to a group counseling session where a multi-ethnic group of clients were 'talking out' their issues with a mental health professional.
From senior adults to teenagers, this mixed-age group of people were able to work out issues through discussions led by a psychiatrist. In the shot above, a male client is talking with his therapist, while a trio of adults talk in the background.
To view or download the image above, just give it a click. For more images from this shoot as well as all of our HEALTHCARE images, click the link below. Stay tuned for our next blog... we are about to catch a plane to New York City!

I have many Hemera type clipart disks that I have always been able to read from my CDROM. Now I get "abnormal program termination error" when I try to access them through clicking on the clipart icon (uses graphicsdesk.exe )
I have a Windows XP Media Center Edition using Service Pack 3.
I am able to install the clip art programs from the CDRom and I have un/re-installed these programs to no avail.
One new thing I did was bring up the Media stuff to see what it was. Has this taken over my CDROM access?
I changed the CDROM preferences to 'ask me' upon each media type - but no help
Thank you for any info about this problem
"abnormal program termination error"
this is a program error for graphicsdesk.exe. It is not a cdrom access problem.
When did this start happening? after you installed SP3 by chance?
Do you have any other CD based programs installed? Do they work properly?
No - I upgraded to Service Pack 3 thinking it might help. I dont have any other CD based programs but I have seen postings on the net about being unable to read gaming disks.
Thanks for your response
Are these older CD's, from the windows 98 or millenium days?
If they are, right click on the graphicsdesk.exe in the program folder (not the shortcut) and select properties, then compatibility Tab, tick the box "run this program in compatibility mode for" then select the OS the program was designed for, if there is a "run as administrator" box, tick that also, then hit OK. Now try the program.
If this gives no results the only thing I can suggest is to replace the cdrom, see if you get the same error. It is rare that these errors are related to hardware, they are usually programming errors on the part of the program itself, or incompatibility with the Operating System, but it is the only thing I can suggest at this point.
I've tried the compatability thing but it doesn't help. I dont think it is a hardware problem but I'm wondering if there is some Media auto play protocol that is not being met by GraphicsDesk.exe or whether there is some "Security" updates that have interfered ... sigh....

It has been said for years that late night snacking is TERRIBLE for you. What if I was here to tell you that that is not entirely true? It's WHAT most people eat at night that affects your weight, not necessarily the time. Though it is not recommended for reasons beyond gaining weight, eating at night is not horrible for you.
Night Meals are a No-Go?
We always believed that eating late at night could lead to gaining weight. Because our body burns fewer calories at night, it would sound reasonable to take in fewer calories compared to in the morning or afternoon. So do we have to say goodbye to late night eating? Fortunately, research suggests that IF possible, one should not eat 1.5 to 2 hours before going to bed. However, many suggest that if you are hungry you should eat, regardless of the time.
People Still Believe The Everlasting Myth
Two things come to mind when I think about why people still believe this myth; they did not eat in moderation, or what they ate was unhealthy. Both of these can make one believe they are actually gaining more weight from the food they eat at night. I'm guilty of it myself. I have a nasty habit of waking up in the middle of the night, going to the fridge, eating, and going right back to sleep. Not only did I often times not remember what I ate, I also don't remember how much I ate. I can tell you one thing I do know, though, I am certainly not whipping up a salad or an egg white omelette at 3 in the morning when I go on my late night binge. I am eating chips, ice cream, left overs, and whatever else I can get my hands on without getting caught by anyone else in the house as I stand at the fridge in my underwear.
It's All About Lifestyle Control and meal Intake that determines your Weight
One way I convinced myself that these late night munchies weren't so bad was by being prepared. If I was prepared, I could have an apple already sliced, or some yogurt with honey in Tupperware. Now, when I woke up I could still easily grab a snack, only now it was healthy. You also don't have to worry about overeating because the snacks are pre rationed. Of course, the best option would be to not eat at 3 in the morning and go right back to bed. But hey, if they're going to tell me to eat when I'm hungry, I'm going to!

Picture: Annie Lennox and Guster onstage at the mtvU Woodies Awards at Roseland Ballroom. New York, USA - 08.11.07
Annie Lennox is refusing to tour on the back of a new Eurythmics greatest hits compilation because she hated hitting the road with Sting last year (04).
The LOVE IS A STRANGER singer has turned down big-money offers to hit the road again with on/off partner Dave Stewart because she hates the idea of touring.
She says, "I get all anxious and I can't calm down. And to do the 54 dates I did with Sting, it was mad.
"I don't really know why I did it. I thought I misread the amount of dates."

There are many methods that can be safely and effectively used for reducing scar tissue. The best method depends on the type of injury, the patient's history of scarring, and the age of the scar. New scars can be treated with vitamins and ointments that can increase healing speed and prevent the buildup of too many skin cells, while older scars can be reduced through the use of topical treatments or plastic surgery. A treatment regime that begins as the scar is forming and continues for many months is the best method for reducing scar tissue.
Both new and old scars can be treated with a number of different topical ointments, though these treatments are most effective when used on younger scars. Antihistamine creams can be used to reduce swelling and eliminate itching, which can lead to unintentional scratching and further damage to the skin. Natural treatments can be applied topically to new scars as well, including the extract of the aloe vera plant and vitamin E or K creams. In new scars that are swelling severely, injections of antihistamines can be given at the site of the injury.
People with severe injuries, such as burns, and those with a history of severe scarring, such as keloid scarring that extends past the original injury site, may be advised to begin treating a scar soon after the skin has closed following an injury. Applying a steady pressure to the area of injury is a useful treatment because it can keep additional skin cells from forming along the scar. The use of silicone can also help reduce this accumulation.
In the case of severe scars or old scars that do not respond to other treatments, plastic surgery can reduce scar tissue. A surgeon can use a skin graft to cover a large scar or can recut and reseal a scar that has healed poorly. Of course, the surgery will create additional scarring, though the intent is for the scarring to be considerably less noticeable than the old scarring. A patient can work on further reducing scar tissue by following good practices for the care of newly forming scars as the surgery scars heal.
Post 1
I was attacked by a pit bull seven months ago, and four of the five bites which I received have healed with small smooth scars. The fifth which is in the arch of my left foot has an area of scar tissue which is sometimes painful. I have been massaging it nightly and wonder whether there is any way to reduce the bump?
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Gulfsands Petroleum's shares dropped 6% to 5.88p in London in early trading after the firm announced its decision to back out of Morocco.
The business said it made the call after its search for a project partner to develop the Moulay Bouchta asset had failed.
Gulfsands said the move would free it up to focus on the Levant region.
Managing director John Bell said: "Our clearly stated strategy continues to be to focus capital and management resources on the Levant region and to manage down the non-core parts of our business. Today's important and necessary decision is another key step towards achieving that goal."
But the firm said the Moroccan Government could call in $1.75million held as performance guarantees under the Moulay Bouchta contract.
"Further possible penalties could apply," Gulfsands warned.
The company also said it was still pursuing the government for the return of guarantees worth $6million linked to separate petroleum agreements.

The next time you need auto repairs, could you fix it yourself? Nowadays, folks tend to go to mechanics regardless of the severity of their auto issue. Use this information to guide you in your car repairs. Not only will you save some money, but you will also feel great about yourself.
Get a referral if you want to see a reputable mechanic. See if co-workers, friends, neighbors, or family members have any recommendations. These people will be able to provide you with the price, quality, and overall satisfaction of the mechanic. They will be the first to tell you about a dishonest mechanic too!
Keep a record of any vehicle repairs. If you have problems with your vehicle later on, you will find it helpful to have some records for the next technician to look at. Without records, you might have to pay higher costs due to taking longer to find the problem.
Look for signs that should serve as a warning that your repair man is no good. If they are talking in circles and avoiding your questions, you should take your business elsewhere. Since it is important to trust the person who is repairing your car, don't hesitate to look elsewhere for a person to repair your vehicle.
Try to find out whats wrong with your vehicle before calling a mechanic. You can save time and money if the problem is correctly diagnosed, and finding a reliable mechanic will also be easier. As you have probably heard, there are mechanics out there that will be dishonest so they can charge you more money.
It can feel overwhelming when you decide to fix your car yourself. However, if you just learn a little and take some time, you'll be able to get things fixed in your vehicle most of the time. Take the above advice into consideration and keep your vehicle purring like a kitty.
