No Words is the 9th track on album #3 released in 2012.
It was written by James Barry, Danny O'Donoghue, Mark Sheehan. Danny explained what were they trying to capture in the song:
"The three of us can talk about anything – politics, current affairs, where a song is going wrong. But this is about those moments when you need to tell someone how you feel about them, but you can't find the words."
Rifling through an archive of old Irish music, The Script stumbled on a strange banshee shriek that is thought to be Ireland's first ever field recorded music. "It's a woman, but no-one knows who," explains Danny. "She's just sort of shrieking, but it sounds like she's saying 'No words'."
The 4-minute was never released as a single despite being a fan favourite. The Script only played this track live once in Aberdeen and thanks to modern technology there are some good versions available for us less lucky people who weren't present.
For a bit worse sound quality but closer picture check out this video and here's another one with a little more focus on Glen.
Covers of No Words
The first cover I'd highlight is an incomplete but creative one by Christopher Williams:
This one by Mel is a good performance, hope you'll enjoy it.
I could talk all day long about the news,
Giving you the current affairs and my views
I could talk all night long about a song,
Giving you the pointers on where you're going wrong.
I could talk all year long about the net
And sending you the links I think you haven't seen yet.
I'd like to tell you things that I think you never heard, but there are no words
I could talk all day long about dreams,
Sewing up your heart so you never see a seam.
I could talk all day about politics,
All of the corruption, clean hands, dirty tricks
But what can I say
About something that blows me away
Without it soundin' like another cliché?
From what I've seen and I've heard,
When it comes to you, baby, no, there are no, there are no words.
There are no words,
Yeah, I swear this much is true,
There ain't a word in this world that describes you
I could talk all day long about life,
After so many wars, how we're all still alive.
I could speak all night long about the world,
How it took me thirty years just to find one girl.
I could shoot shit for days all about guitars,
A Gibson or a Fender, it depends on who you are.
But when I try to say something that you never heard,
There are no words
I could burn your ear off all about space,
Why we have a moon, the moon has a face.
If the earth is spinning, why we all stay in place?
Why we can't walk it's gotta be a space race.
But what can I say,
That's gonna' blow her mind away,
Tryna write a classic not a throw away.
All I've seen, all I've heard,
When it comes to you, there are no, there are no, there are no words, no words.
There are no words.
Yeah, I swear this much is true
There ain't a word in this world that describe you, that describe you.
Yeah, I swear this much is true
There ain't a word in this world that describes you.
No words.
There are no words to describe or define
What's inside you, your feeling, your vibe
Believe me I've tried to break you down to a science
I see you in my mind and I open my mouth and it's silence
I can articulate a Shakespeare poem
Even though I didn't know him
I can see where he was going
And where he's coming from
I can even catch his flow
And then I think of you
I don't know where this metaphor is going
'Cause there are no words you can understand, only lovers can
You can ask the professor and the madman
If they couldn't find the words, no one can
All I've seen, all I heard
When it comes to you there's just no, just no words
(Just no words, no words)
Yeah, I swear this much is true,
There are no word in this world that describes you, that describes you.
Yeah, I swear this much is true,
There are no word in this world that describes you.
There are no…
There are no…

I coach SMEs, freelancers and entrepreneurs to get clear about their business and how it stands out. I then shape this into words which inspire.
And while copywriting and coaching may sound like different disciplines, helping you identify your business' goals, what your audience and stakeholders want and what kind of problems your business solves, has a huge bearing on the power of your brand. The clearer you answer these questions, the clearer your clients will be about what you stand for - and the more confident they'll be about investing in you.
Not only does coaching help to produce great copy, it also hones your vision and often generates a fresh new approach to doing business.
"Melanie is an excellent copywriter and helped me with my website for my legal recruitment business. She took time to understand my business and the message I wanted to get across to my clients. Her background as a lawyer meant she understood the tone and my target audience. She was efficient and always on hand to discuss any queries. I have no hesitation in recommending Melanie if you are looking for help with your copywriting. She is a pleasure to work with"
"We instructed Melanie to draft all of the copy for our new interior design website when undergoing a re-brand last year. The content of this copy was essential in reflecting our core brand values and brand identity, and Melanie quickly got to grips with our brief, implementing precisely the tone and message that we required. We were really impressed with her services from concept through to completion and would recommend her without reserve"
"Melanie helped our team during a very busy time by writing content for our new firm website. We were under a huge amount of pressure to get things done quickly but they had to be right. Melanie produced copy that was clear, concise and on-brand. She took the time to understood what makes us tick as a firm and this came across in her copy"
While I'm happy to mentor during our sessions, coaching isn't about telling you what to do. As your coach and copywriter, I'm more of a sounding board and facilitator, empowering you to work out how you want to market your business in way that aligns with your values and inspires potential clients – your vision – my words. The former is key because having space to work out what you want rather than being told what you should do, is the surest way to success and fulfilment.
I conduct our discussions in person or via Skype. A single session usually lasts for about 30 minutes with various packages to choose from depending on your needs. I offer a complimentary 30 minute consultation at the start of our time together to determine whether my copywriting is right for you and what your journey looks like. Every client is different so this allows me to tailor a package which gives you the best return on investment.
Before our first formal session, you'll receive a short questionnaire which you send back to me before we talk. This helps you gain clarity on your business goals, challenges, vision and dreams, ensuring that you get the most out of our session as possible.Book Your Free 30 Minute Consultation

I discovered a hidden passion
I commenced my Bachelor of Laws at Bond University on the Gold Coast in January 2009, as the inaugural Sunland Foundation scholarship recipient, after graduating from St Joseph's College, Hunters Hill in 2008.
This full scholarship has afforded me many opportunities, as well as giving me a solid foundation in law. Now in my sixth semester and at the end of my second year, I have immersed myself in campus life.
I am the founder and President of the Bond Indigenous Awareness Society. Its purpose is to broaden cultural awareness among both Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. The Society now has over 250 members, an achievement I am proud of.
I have been heavily involved in helping the University extend scholarships and provide other opportunities to Indigenous students, and have been engaged in events such as the inaugural Bond University Indigenous Art Auction.
Bond's network of global employers has also provided me with the opportunity to undertake an internship at the international law firm Allens Arthur Robinson.
My ambition is to be a politician. I know studying law at Bond will provide the pathway I need to make that goal a reality.
Whilst studying at Bond I have discovered a hidden passion to one day be named a Queen's Counsel, and make a real and substantial difference to the lives of my fellow Indigenous people.

How are shady areas responsible for the evolution of Bitcoin?By Daniel Zo Bitcoin, Silkroad Read Comments
Bitcoin is nothing less than a giant on the economy at this moment in time, as the average value of all bitcoins that have been mined so far put together is of over $3 billion. While the cryptocurrency is becoming increasingly popular, and more businesses have started accepting and issuing payments with the currency, many people from all around the world wonder what it took to make the coin become eminent.
To put things better into perspective, back in 2010, when people first started selling things for bitcoins, a pizza would cost around 10,000 coins. In today's value, a $2.3 million pizza is out of the question. The currency then evolved to its value of around $1000 around a year ago, only to fall to around $250 and stay there. So, what is truly responsible for the massive value increase of the cryptocurrency?

Hollywood set designers love Danish design. Just look at these screenshots from some hit movies and TV shows where Danish furniture and interior deco feature as prominent props or as stylish background items.
Here at DANISH™, we have a habit of looking for Danish design everywhere, even when watching TV or streaming movies. We observe lamps from Verner Panton that are used to give a spaceship a futuristic look, or chairs from Hans J. Wegner that help make a living room look cosy Scandinavian. Most noticeable is the work of acclaimed designer Arne Jacobsen's, whose elegant lamps and furniture have found their way into many blockbuster movies, as you will see in this list.
The Dark Knight (2008): Batman always uses the coolest tech available. Bruce Wayne, played by Christian Bale, has a television and surround sound system from Bang & Olufsen in his apartment. However, that is not the only piece of Danish design in this movie: The black lamp in the photo was designed by Arne Jacobsen and later in the movie; a Poul Henningsen lamp appears as well. Louis Poulsen manufactures both lamps.
The Crown (2017): In the beginning of the second season of Netflix's The Crown, a wooden monkey from Kaj Bojesen, sold by Rosendahl, can be spotted hanging on a shelf behind the bed.
The Devil Wears Prada (2006): Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) is a fashion icon in this movie and her office is just as cool and fashionable as she is. Here she sits in the FK Bucket Chair by Jørgen Kastholm and Preben Fabricius manufactured by Walter Knoll.
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968): This is one of the most celebrated sci-fi movies ever and it foresaw the use of tablets and greatly inspired the Star Wars movies. The astronauts in the movie use futuristic looking cutlery designed by Arne Jacobsen and manufactured by Georg Jensen.
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997): Doctor Evil had to look as evil as possible in this comical take on the classic spy tale. What could suit him better than the sinister looking Ox Chair designed by Hans J. Wegner and sold by Erik Jørgensen.
Men in Black (1997): The two agents, portrayed by Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, sit in Swan Chairs while their boss sits in the Egg Chair. Both chairs were designed by Arne Jacobsen and are manufactured by Fritz Hansen™.
I, Robot (2004): Arne Jacobsen's cylinder coffee pot sold by Stelton with accessories makes an appearance in this futuristic blockbuster from 2006 – also starring Will Smith.

Primary Amnesia
What the press forgets every election.
• 2012: Four weeks before the Iowa caucuses, a Marist poll has former Speaker Newt Gingrich at 26 percent; ex-Sen. Rick Santorum is at 5 percent—tied with Michele Bachmann and one point behind Herman Cain. By the end of 2011, Gingrich has collapsed under the Mitt Romney money bomb, and it is Romney whom AP proclaims "the clear favorite." But a week before the caucuses, a CNN poll shows Rick Santorum at 16 percent—and the poll, in turn, fuels a late surge that gives him a (belatedly called) 34-vote win in Iowa. After a Romney landslide in New Hampshire, he seems headed for a big win in South Carolina; a Rasmussen poll four days before that primary gives him a 14-point lead. But two days later, after a strong debate performance by Gingrich, that same poll puts him 2 points ahead. And a second debate, featuring a blistering pummeling of CNN's John King, gives Gingrich a 12-point win.
That Gingrich win completely upends the Florida race; in days, what had been a 22-point Romney lead in the polls now turns into a 8- to 10-point Gingrich lead. But after a new barrage of negative ads and a convincing debate performance, Romney wins Florida by 15 points.
Collectively, these up-and-down histories strongly suggest a fundamental, baseline fact about campaigns that is highly uncomfortable for those of us who think, talk, write about or practice politics as a vocation. The truth is the vast majority of voters do not give a damn about what happens months before they have a chance to cast a vote. What follows from that fact is not just that polls taken months before the primaries tell us nothing about what will happen when the voting starts; it also suggests that a huge amount of campaign coverage—often solid, valuable coverage—is of no real consequence whatsoever.
For example: It would be one thing if a campaign found itself facing near-insolvency and a staff revolt six weeks before the November election. When that happens, though, months before the primaries, it leaves plenty of time for a campaign to recover. When voters are a month or so from choosing a president, even a one-sided debate performance—like the first Reagan-Mondale debate in 1984 or the first Obama-Romney face-off in 2012—has only a marginal impact on the campaign's trajectory. When a dramatic debate performance happens in a primary, when voters have only the vaguest sense of the candidates, it literally can change the campaign overnight.
So when we read stories of staff shakeups, awkward answers in an interview, balky sound systems at rallies or the scandal of a candidate's traffic tickets, it might be worth asking: Who are these stories for? Is this ever-expanding cottage industry of political journals more about informing the public—which has every rational reason not to be paying attention at this point—or more about ourselves? And if we're convinced that we're informing a broader electorate than those who watch C-SPAN 2 for erotic arousal, shouldn't we be accompanying such coverage with a new warning label: "Caution: What You Are Reading Will Likely Have No Impact On What Happens In 2016.
Further: If presidential wannabes start racking up frequent-flier miles to Iowa shortly after the last election ends, shouldn't there be some acknowledgment that—at least as far as the Republican race is concerned—the Iowa caucuses have had virtually no impact on the ultimate outcome?
As a lifelong political obsessive, and as someone for whom politics is a sport and a pastime and a living, I'm hardly arguing that we impose a moratorium on campaign coverage.
What I am suggesting, though, is that we understand and remember—and let our readers, listeners and viewers understand—how this process really works, how useless the obsession with polls and rankings is that this point, how tentative any assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of candidates is in the months before the calendar flips to the actual election year. If most voters are barely conscious of the political tumult obsessing campaign operatives and chroniclers, it's a stretch of major proportions to gauge what will determine their votes come January, February and beyond in 2016.
At the very least, remembering the uncomfortable fact that the primary is a messy and hard-to-predict campaign might make us more prepared when the suns of our early certainties set, and our assumptions are cast into darkness once again.

The fuel known by its scientific name methyl ester can be a game-changer for utilizing agriculture by-products, reducing cost of running diesel engines and decreasing dependability on fossil fuels.
According to a biodiesel manufacturer's director Nachiket Muley, "Six months ago, Aurangabad city was consuming an impressive one lakh litres of biodiesel a month blended with diesel.
The manufacturing process of biodiesel or greenfuel includes converting oils and fats into chemicals called long chain mono-alkyl esters which are also referred to as fatty acid methyl or ethyl esters.
"Recycled or fresh vegetable oils and animal fats are used to produce this greenfuel," Muley said.
Considering the density, viscosity, calorific value of biodiesel and diesel, the best way to use the greenfuel is to use it in blend with diesel in a 20:80 ratio.
Muley added, "Biodiesel is indigenously produced and reduces the requirement of petrol and diesel import, engineer-turned entrepreneur."
Biodiesel's molecular structure causes the liquid to be more viscous and dense consequently working as a better lubricant. Hence, a vehicle running on biodiesel will give better performance. The fuel has oxygen molecules as it is produced from plants which allows complete combustion and thereby causing less sulphur dioxide and particulate matter in emission. A mixture of 20% biodiesel with 80% petro-diesel reduces air pollutants by at least 20% - 40%, according to a CPCB report.
Debashree Chakraborty in her report for Central Pollution Control Board lists non-edible oils obtained from plant species such as Jatropha curcas (Ratanjyot), Pongamia pinnata (Karanj), rubber, sugarcane and algae as the main source of biodiesel in India. Rapeseed, sunflower, soybean, castor and maize are also used for making the greenfuel.
Muley is trying to increase awareness about the fuel and reach out to farmers in rural areas.
"The use of biodiesel ensures that the farmers' produce is used in the manufacturing the fuel forming a complete cycle of the economy," Muley explains.

In his last speech to parliament Harry Jenkins reminded us of the words on the headstone of James Scullin.
Justice and humanity demand interference whenever the weak are being crushed by the strong.
This has been forgotten, not only by Australian Politicians but also by the Australian people. Democracy has become to mean mob rule. It used to mean, using the American definition 'for the people by the people.'
To interferer to protect the weak is not antidemocratic, it is part of democracy.
But now we have the strong crushing Australian democracy in an insane lust for power.
This seems to be a worldwide trend lend by a media that is becoming increasingly international. The network of ownership of the international is deliberately complicated so that who controls what is not always readily visible but in Australia and America Murdoch has a high profile.
Politics is supposed to be about policy and debate, not the strong crushing the weak by any means. Media is supposed to report the debate accurately so the people make their decisions form an informed position. Never before has there been such a concerted effort to keep the Australian public uniformed and filled with lies as to the true nature of the debate.
Murdoch has shown how shonky reporting can buy a political party and how the strong can crush the weak.

In this article, you will find outhow to create a watermark in Photoshop and Lightroom. What is a photography watermark logo? What rules should be followed when you create your own watermark, for portfolio and what is it used for?
Photography watermark is a way to protect your photography copyright by means of placing a photographer's logo, name, link to the portfolio/website or another unique word or image, which indicates your authorship to the photo. The mark is called "water" because it has to be translucent according to the standard requirements. After all, the image is really important, and the watermark should not attract too much attention. The proper watermark is a faint semi-transparent mark on the edge of the image.
Download these free watermark logos for free to place on your photos. Now applying a watermark in Photoshop is quick and easy.You can add a simple text watermark or one based around a logo or photo.
You can use a photography watermark for various purposes, for instance:
In case you wonder how to create a custom watermark for photos, I provide you with a detailed, step-by-step tutorial on how to create a transparent watermark in Photoshop. It consists of 6 stages, which are quite easy to follow even for a beginner, as the process doesn't require any special knowledge.
1. Open Photoshop and create a new document:"File > New" or "Ctrl+N". Adjust its height and pixel length according to your needs, with a transparent background.
2. Find "Layers" tab on the right and create a new layer.
3. Select "Horizontal text" in the toolbar and find the appropriate font for your Photoshop watermark logo on the top. Choose the size. I selected the 'Harlow Solid Italic" font, as the watermark with thick letters will look more interesting than with thin ones. Next, type in what you want to see on your sign, whether it is a logo, a name or a web page address.
4. To align our future watermark, you need to choose the "Move" tool and click "Ctrl + A" to select the canvas. Then click on the selected buttons in the top menu to align it horizontally and vertically. After that, you should press "Ctrl + D" to deselect. If you can't align with these buttons, you can do it simply by dragging the text and holding it with the mouse button.
5. For a more interesting and remarkable watermark look, you can apply a special effect. To do this, you must open:"Layers - > Layer Style - > Layer Options".
In the window that opens, select settings of the mark. I chose embossing. You can choose such effects as shadow or stroke, but I did not like it. You can play around with the various options and effects, but the next stage of watermark creation will play a crucial role. Do not forget that you can freely delete all the applied effects any time, so do not be afraid to experiment.
Choose the layer settings to overlay.
After that, select in the layers tab "Fill" option and set the slider to 25%. Your watermark will become almost invisible.
Look at your watermark. It should be like this one.
6. Copy the layer with your watermark and add it to the desired photo.
7. Save the result in a .psd format. You can name it on the analogy of the English version – "watermark". This particular file created in Photoshop can be applied to your images as authorship sign.
In case you do not have Photoshop installed on your computer, you can also use Lightroom to create a watermark.
1. Find "Watermark" in the file export settings.
2. Tick off. Go to the "Watermark Editor".
3. I noticed that Lightroom offers two types of watermarks, graphic and text ones.If we talk about graphic one, firstly, you need to create it. After that, you should upload it and, perhaps, make some changes.
Let's analyze the text variant.
4. For editing this type of Adobe Lightroom CC watermark, you get a color palette and a large number of fonts. Also, you may use the additional settings of Lightroom watermark fonts.
Remember, that you can't apply effects or filters on the image after making a watermark.
Let's examine how to create a watermark using one of the best free online photo editor. Is it inferior in functionality? I used PicMonkey.
1. Upload your photo from your hard drive or export it from a social network.
2. After the image is uploaded, go to the "text" tab.
3. Click "Add text box". With this tool, we will apply a watermark to the photo. The first step is to name the watermark.
4. In the "Text" menu that has been opened, you can edit the text. First, I changed the color using the color palette.
5. The next "Effects" tab allows you to more precisely customize the watermark. I added some shadows and adjusted it with the Blur slider.
6. The last step is to close the "Text" tool and move the watermark to the place you need. You can also change its size, double-clicking on it, thereby opening the "Crop" tool.
7. Save the result.

Now when you know how to create a photography watermark, you need to learn about some significant drawbacks:
Watermarks affect the image viewing. Many people believe that the fundamental and main drawback of watermarks is that the image is not being perceived harmoniously, as the mark attracts all the attention. The composition and atmosphere of the photo are lost. In some cases, a watermark can give the picture a little cheap and amateurish look. It also gives the image a "consumer goods" look. But it all depends on the author's feeling of style and taste because there are great examples of beautiful and properly designed watermarks.
The ease of removing the watermark. The protective functions of such marks are rather unclear and it is impossible to treat them as a real tool against photography theft. In fact, if you place the name of your website or some small picture in the corner of your image as a watermark, it is quite a weak protection. It is necessary to agree that the name of the website in the corner will not stop those, who have decided to steal your picture, because they can easily get rid of it just by cropping the photo in any graphics editor and it will take no more than a few minutes.
Undoubtedly, you should create watermark online, especially if you are an aspiring photographer, who has made own website and doesn't know how to protect the finished work from theft. To create watermark free is one of the greatest solutions, but it is better not to overdo with a watermark. Remember that the first thing which should attract the attention is your photo, not your watermark. If a person is really interested in your work, he/she will surely notice your logo, name or website domain, which is presented in a form of a watermark.

Loom Systems Launches Predictive Ticketing
SAN FRANCISCO, April 18, 2018 — Loom Systems, a leading end-to-end AI-powered log analysis solution, today announced the launch of its Predictive Ticketing solution. Predictive Ticketing layers intelligence on top of Loom's award-winning AIOps solution, correlating IT data with ITSM incidents, actively predicting and preventing issues across the IT stack, resulting in improved customer experience, a significant reduction in the number of tickets opened, and elimination of outages and downtime.
Many companies today have reactive IT monitoring tools in place but still experience problems across the stack, which cause outages and unplanned system downtime, resulting in a negative business impact on customers. Loom examines the tickets and detects correlations between incidents and their unique footprint using deep learning, and performs a root cause analysis using the compiled data to predict when they are going to happen again, thus bridging the gap between IT and businesses.
"We are proud to pioneer the next step in the evolution of AIOps with the launch of Predictive Ticketing" said Gabby Menachem, CEO and Co-Founder of Loom Systems. "Predictive Ticketing enables our customers to anticipate and solve potential issues before they occur, which not only ensures a smooth, uninterrupted customer experience by optimizing their business performance, but also results in enhanced customer loyalty, lower churn rates, increased profitability and prolonged lifetime customer value."
"Until now, IT customer experience has relied on users opening tickets to submit complaints or alert administrators to issues after they have already occurred," said Dror Mann, VP of Product and Co-founder at Loom Systems. "Predictive Ticketing allows IT departments to effectively manage their ecosystem by always staying one step ahead in an environment with many moving parts. Ultimately, we are giving them the chance to prevent an avalanche from ever starting, rather than trying to stop an avalanche already in motion."

February Fun
My cute sister Paige got married in February. My sister and I took her engagements and bridals. We had fun and did a pretty good job. She got what she paid for, right?
Here is Paige's shower. We did a valentines theme. Lots of pink and red. We had it on my birthday. I was a little put out, but just a little. I love Paige.
Mom's homemade rolls, of course!
The bride to be
The candy bar.
I was so exhausted after all the shower planning and preparation that I came home and took a 2 hour nap. Little did I know Darrik had planned a surprise party for me, complete with a homemade birhtday cake. He made it all by himself. It was goooood too. So while I was taking my 2 hour nap all the guests snuck in and were really quiet. I woke up and came out into the living room and jumped about 10 feet. I was so startled. I had to go back into my room, brush my teeth, hurry and put on different clothes and fix my hair and make-up before I came out. I had no idea my house was full of people. What a cutie. I LOVE surprises.
Paige's wedding.
The only picture I have at the temple. Brock through the glass in the waiting room. He was so funny, and so handsome!
Valentines Day was on Sunday this year, so we dressed up in our pink for church.
Darrik and I had a gift card to the Cheesecake Factory and we used it for Valentine's. The food was so yummy and there was a ton of it. I had a fun valentines with my valentine. I love this guy!
Had to throw in the picture of naked Brock riding the dog...?
This is Lily and Brock. She wanted a kiss, but Brock was being shy.
Look at this little face. ha ha ha
Talmage was not shy, however. He walked right up and kissed her right on the mouth.
There is our fun February!!

Tobe, an awkward teenage aficionado of 1980s soft-core, borrows his grandfather's used Weinermobile to see his sexual… idol perform at a strip club in Indiana. After defending her against ruffians who taunt the aging erotic starlet off the stage, he struggles to negotiate his romantic impulses with the reality of her trailer-park lifestyle.
Like the depression-era brass-and-bass pop hits that its wiry protagonist covets, Meet Monica Velour is a pleasant little ditty that plays smoothly and entertains from start to finish. Anchored by a refreshing turn from Kim Cattrall as the title character, Keith Bearden's feature debut is a firm freshman effort, one that will undoubtedly grant the film journalist-turned-filmmaker a crack at something bigger.
A high-concept coming-of-age story with a significant social message, the movie centers on seventeen-year-old Tobe Hulbert (Dustin Ingram) – an innocent and awkward recent high school graduate on the verge of a breakdown from boredom. The only solace he finds in his mundane existence comes from collecting assorted pop-culture items: vintage records from the 1930s, comic books from the '40s and, most interestingly, pornography from the late '70s and '80s. When he hears about a rare appearance by his lifelong porn star crush at a sleazy strip club four states away, Tobe leaves his drunken grandfather's home and heads to Indiana to finally meet Monica Velour.
Of course, after thirty years of professional wear and tear and marital and substance abuse, Ms. Velour is nothing more than a decaying façade of the glimmering beauty she once was. Spiteful and world-weary, Cattrall shines through the runny make-up and cheap outfits her character has become accustomed to and delivers an authentic portrayal of a woman who walked on the wild side and came through a marvelous mess. Her performance, along with the nostalgic reminiscence of porno's home-video heyday, offers a loving nod to the skin-flick industry while poking fun at its ludicrous, unnecessary plot lines and C-rate production values.
While Ms. Cattrall will help sell tickets, young Dustin Ingram steals the show as the nebbish Tobe. Looking and acting like the bastard child of Napoleon Dynamite and Johnny Depp's Willy Wonka, the twenty-year-old actor taps into the misery of America's disaffected youth and turns it into enjoyably wry comedy that shares its tone with the picture as a whole. Writer/director Bearden brightens his character's bleak outlook on life with vibrant colors that convey the magic of Americana that fuels the film as well as his protagonist's quest.
Though the movie may be likened to popular teen comedies like The Girl Next Door, Porky's or Fast Times at Ridgemont High, underneath the crude humor and sex jokes is a poignant story of an unlikely friendship between a faded star and her number one fan. There is a great deal of emotional depth to both the characters and the narrative and though the relationship between Monica and Tobe is mostly comedic, Bearden allows the mold to be broken at times to reveal a genuine connection between these two lost souls. Furthermore, the picture attacks the hegemonic perspective of the aging woman in a society that worships youth and beauty and is quick to dispose of one who is past her prime. It has more in common with Juno and Little Miss Sunshine than the aforementioned mainstream studio movies and, like both of those critical darlings, deserves to be picked up for wide distribution, where it will surely prosper.Daniel Hubschman, Hollywood.com

The bride, 28, works in Manhattan as an account manager at Google Inc. She graduated magna cum laude from New York University.
Her father is an endocrinologist and the associate chairman of the department of medicine at St. John's Episcopal Hospital in Far Rockaway, Queens.

Her mother is an art teacher at the Brandeis School, a private Hebrew day school in Lawrence, N.Y.
The groom, also 28, is studying for an M.B.A. at the University of Pennsylvania. He graduated with honors from Brown.
His father is the president and chief executive of the Loews Corporation in Manhattan. The company was founded by the groom's late grandfather Laurence A.

Published by hockeybuzz.com, 7-17-2018
The Buffalo Sabres announced yesterday afternoon announced the signing of restricted free agent forward C.J. Smith to a one-year, two-way deal. Smith's contract will pay him $874,125 at the NHL level and, according to CapFreindly, a $70,000 minor league salary. Buffalo GM Jason Botterill sent qualifying offers to six RFA's late last month and to this point five have signed at that qualifying offer with all of those contracts being one-year, two-way deals. In addition to Smith, Sean Malone, Nicholas Baptiste, Danny O'Regan and Justin Bailey are now under contract with Buffalo.
The only remaining RFA is 2014 second-overall pick Sam Reinhart who just finished his three-year entry-level deal after a one-year entry-level slide.
The 23 yr. old Smith just came off of a stellar campaign where he was named Rochester Americans rookie of the Year. His 17 goals and 44 points placed the UMass-Lowell product third on the Amerks in scoring and 10th amongst AHL rookies. Although somewhat small at 5'11" 185 lbs., the Des Moines, Iowa native plays an honest two-way game on the wing and isn't afraid to take on whatever comes at him on the ice. He's also been able to produce at every level and showed off his competitive edge at the pro prospect-level by scoring six points (2+4) in three 2017 Prospect Challenge games last year.
Reinhart's contract negotiations are much more difficult than the previous five in that he has three full seasons plus a nine-game audition with the Sabres under his belt. In 249 games the 22 yr. old Reinhart has 65 goals and 140 points but his Jekyll and Hyde 2017-18 season makes projections extremely difficult. The 6'1" 192 lb. forward who does his best work on the wing was virtually non-existent through the 2017 portion of the schedule scoring only 11 points (5+6) through the first 38 games before blowing up for 20 goals and 19 assists in 44 games beginning January 1.
Which Sam Reinhart will the Sabres be signing? For how long? And how much?
The Smith signing brings the total number of pro contracts in Buffalo to 47 with only Reinhart left to go. The Sabres roster right now has 21 players--12 forwards, seven defensemen and two goalies--while the rest of the organization has 26 pro player contracts including Matt Moulson who's contract was buried in the minors last season and looks to be so this season.
With August coming, the dog days of summer are upon us and the hockey world, but Botterill will still have some work to do. After the expected signing of Reinhart, the Sabres will have 13 forwards with both Baptiste and Bailey out of waiver options and likely to be claimed if sent down. Defenseman Casey Nelson is in the same boat and it's assumed the Sabres will want to keep him bringing the total to eight d-men right now. Add in the two goalies and that would be 25 roster players, not including defenseman Brendan Guhle who's expected to be in the mix out of camp.
Something's got to give.
Until then, all eyes are on Reinhart and his contract at this point.

Kolkata: In Kolkata, 15 leader parties arrived in a rally organized by the opposition parties against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at the Brigade Pared Ground in Kolkata. All party leaders participants at the maha-
Thousands of party members and supporters gathered in the crowd People shouted slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP President Amit Shah. The posters and greetings showed by the crowd as good luck to Mamta Banerjee. Didi said, "We have resolved to build a progressive, strong and united India." We have to remove this government together. Meanwhile, Mamta Banerjee said that Modi government's time has now ended. It is not only our decision the public wants this.
All the leaders who attended the rally addressed the rally with their own words while addressing the rally, Yashwant Sinha said that Modi is not an issue for us, nor is the issue of people of the country for us. This is the first government to tamper with statistics. BJP ruined every institution of the country. Exclude this government. It is necessary for all to decide that only one candidate is standing in front of BJP's candidate.
Shatrughan Sinha-addressed the rally, Mr. Sinha said that due to the decision of Modi's ban on filing, thousands of people had to spend their money in the line to get their money. Many people have suffered a heart attack. With the effect of many known notices, the public was not too upset that the government imposed a complex tax system on GST public. I have three questions on Rafael, 126 aircraft were to be bought and 26 were bought? Instead of 500 crores, 1600 crores of aircraft are being bought? Why did Reliance contract without excluding HAL, which did not make a bicycle? Shatrughan Sinha, while targeting Narendra Modi, said that PM Modi will have to give a clean sweep on the Rafael issue or else the public will say that '

McCain Sees Work Ahead to Win Conservatives
McCain Sees Work Ahead to Win Conservatives
Super Tuesday pushed Republican presidential candidate John McCain well ahead of his opponents in the delegate chase, but it did little to resolve the underlying differences with the GOP. McCain held a news conference Wednesday to look ahead.
MICHELE NORRIS, host:
Republican presidential candidate John McCain says he's very pleased with the big wins in yesterday's Super Tuesday contest. But even though he's now the clear frontrunner in the race for delegates, McCain says he has a lot of work left to do to win over conservatives.
NPR's Scott Horsley reports.
SCOTT HORSLEY: John McCain now has more than half the delegates he needs to lock up the GOP nomination while his Republican rivals lag far behind. Still, a map of yesterday's results suggest the Republican Party is more divided than the delegate totals alone might indicate.
Mitt Romney won a half-dozen states in the West while Mike Huckabee showed solid strength in the South. John McCain has decided not to attend a NATO security meeting in Europe this weekend, which might have served as a kind of victory lap, instead, the Arizona senator is still running hard.
Senator JOHN McCAIN (Republican, Arizona; Presidential Candidate): We'll be hitting the campaign trail tomorrow morning and hopefully we can wrap this thing out, unite the party and be ready to take on the Democratic nominee in November.
HORSLEY: This weekend brings Republican contests in Kansas, Washington State, and Louisiana, followed by primaries Tuesday in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C. The Kansas and Washington State contests are caucuses. Romney has tended to do well in caucus states.
Tomorrow, both Romney and McCain will address the conservative political action committee in Washington, D.C. McCain has struggled to win support among the most conservative members of his party, many of whom back Romney. McCain says he's confident he can mend fences.
Sen. McCAIN: Do we have a lot of work to do to unite the entire party? Sure. I've been involved in many, many campaigns, and after the campaigns are over, you've always got the task of uniting the party behind the nominee. And I've spent my political career in doing that and I'm confident we will do that with the Republican Party now.
HORSLEY: McCain says he'll be trying to reassure conservatives he shares their principles of low taxes, limited government and strong defense. At the same time, he'll be trying to show independent voters and even Democrats he's willing to reach across the aisle to get things done.

Race, Ideology Shaped Super Tuesday Vote
In Focus
Super Tuesday's results reinforced the exit polls from earlier primaries, proving that race, class, gender and political ideology do matter in this presidential race.
As she had done in earlier contests, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton won the support of older voters, women, Latinos and those who said they value experience over change. In California, New York and New Jersey, she easily won the Latino vote 2-to-1.
Her rival, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, appealed to the polar opposites of Clinton's base: the young, the affluent and African-Americans. In California, New Jersey and other states, Obama took more than 75 percent of the African-American vote. Nationally, he also did much better than Clinton with the voting bloc of 18- to 29-year-olds.
In the Republican contests, exit polls showed that independents and moderates favored Arizona Sen. John McCain, while former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee split the conservative vote.
In states such as New Jersey, McCain appealed to voters who said they valued experience and honesty. Republican voters worried about illegal immigration overwhelmingly favored Romney.
The exit polling was done in 16 states including New Jersey, California, Missouri and Delaware by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International for the National Election Pool.
For voters in both parties, the economy was the major issue.
But nuances also appeared in these well-worn storylines. Although Clinton took the Latino vote in key states California, New York and New Jersey, Obama won Hispanic voters in Connecticut (which has a similar Latino population to New York's) and made a strong showing with Latino voters in New Mexico — where close to 45 percent of the population considers itself Hispanic.
Huckabee's and Romney's showings also gave pollsters something to ponder. Romney won his home state of Massachusetts, along with North Dakota, Minnesota, Colorado and Montana. But Huckabee won a swath of Southern states, including Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas and Tennessee — his best showing and his only string of victories since the Iowa caucuses.
As for the candidates who are most likely to win their party's nomination, the results of more than 20 contests Tuesday brought the Republican contest into sharper focus, with Sen. John McCain grabbing wins in key states and extending a lead over his remaining rivals.
There is less clarity on the Democratic side, as Obama stuck close to Clinton in the delegate count, setting the stage for an even longer battle for the nomination.
Meanwhile, Romney and Huckabee are vowing to stay in the GOP race despite trailing McCain, who may still be searching for the magic formula to forge a truly "Big Tent" Republican party.

Glaum Egg Ranch is a true Aptos gem. Nestled away in the hills along Valencia Road, the Glaum Egg Ranch has been a family owned and operated business for over 80 years. They specialize in 100% cage free and organic eggs, using sustainable farming techniques. Their eggs are available in over 500 stores and restaurants in and near Santa Cruz county. If you don't have the space or don't want the hassle of having a chicken coop – but you want genuinely fresh and tasty eggs – then Glaum Egg Ranch eggs are the logical choice in Santa Cruz.
But it must be said, logic flies out the window when it comes to their egg vending machine. Vending machines are nothing new or special, but how many of them deliver flats of eggs? The Glaum Egg Ranch vending machine, however, offers something extra-special: an animatronic song-and-dance! It's cute and something the kids are sure to enjoy. It's a great way to spend $4 and get 22 fresh, free-range organic eggs to boot!
Tip: bring crisp single dollar bills for the egg vending machine. Also, they are closed on Sundays and only open from 8:00 AM to 10:30 AM on Saturdays.

"The best mentors can help us define and express our inner calling," says Anthony Tjan, CEO of Boston venture capital firm Cue Ball Group and author of Good People. "But rarely can one person give you everything you need to grow."
Nurturing talent is fundamental to our business and we're working hard to create the right environment where everyone can grow on a personal and professional level.
This year some of our team have been giving back and developing their own mentoring skills, passing on their wisdom and experience to others within the agency and outside to help share knowledge, nurture performance and often provide sound counsel on all kinds of challenges!
There's no denying that breaking into the creative industry is still very much a challenge for many people from all walks of life. We've been asking ourselves how we can get closer to people with no or very little experience and who perhaps need a guiding hand on how to make that first step. We'll be revealing more in the coming months on these plans but for now, here is a heart-warming blog from Sophie a Bristol University 3rd year Sociology Student who has been mentored by our Planner Nicky. Sophie and Nicky are taking part in the University's School of Sociology, Politics and International Studies Mentoring Scheme which is open to existing students and supported by University Alumni. Since meeting in April this year Nicky has really taken Sophie under her wing to give her a fresh perspective on the opportunities available and will continue to support her throughout her 3rd year and beyond as she looks to secure her first industry role.
My week began on Monday at 9am, after a 3 month-long summer break where midday lie-ins and brunch instead of breakfast was the norm. Having ended my second year of university knowing I wanted to get into Marketing but lacking in the relevant experience, I felt a little lost and the prospect of immersing myself in the world of work seemed daunting.
That all changed when I started at Six.
Immediately I was welcomed into a warm and friendly environment amongst a team of people that were willing to take me under their wing, share with me their wealth of experience and involve me in the opportunities they get exposed to every day.
Initially, I was surprised by how much I was able to participate after hearing from friends about previous work placements where they were confined to admin and tea-making tasks. In contrast, I was made to feel like a worthwhile contributor: participating in projects with high-profile clients, attending meetings, running a focus group, and having my ideas valued as much as any other member of the team. But, of course, this was not without a few hiccups along the way. One particular incident stands out, where I almost got escorted out of Lloyds Bank before a client meeting for smuggling my cutlery set in through security! Nevertheless, I have been able to test my skills and even discovered ones I didn't realise I had. I've also had the chance to expand my network by meeting different people both client-side and agency-side, and build relationships with them.
All of this wouldn't have been possible without my mentor, Nicky, who took me on and consistently went the extra mile to get me involved with everyone, and everything at Six. A special mention must also go to Ruth, who had me at the end of her desk for the week and kept me motivated with her warm sense of humour and invaluable advice.
All in all my week at Six was a fantastic experience. I have witnessed first-hand the essential role an agency plays in the shaping of clients' needs and how they bring these to life. I have developed a personal interest in the Account Management and Planning side of the business, and I now feel well-placed to explore this further in the future. Most of all, it has been a privilege working alongside the team at Six; a group of people who are so encouraging, open-minded and creative.
Thank you for having me!

Getting married can be hard! Finding the 'right one' who makes your heart beat a certain special way and then getting both sides of the family to agree can be a huge task. Doing it the second time round can be an even bigger challenge.
For the second marriage one may have the added emotional burden to move past as well. One has to pull oneself up post the heartbreak (after the previous break up/ loss of partner / divorce) and then (gasp!) has to put oneself out there. Again.
Things are not how they used to be. The dating world has moved on and it is hard to learn and relearn everything. A second marriage, late marriage or remarriage is hard for men and women alike. Once grown up with established tastes, likes, dislikes, habits the choice range can get narrower and narrower. Add to that the stress of the ticking biological clock for women who may be wanting timely baby of their own.
Watch here, the sound advice Dr Prachi gave to a 38-year-old divorcee who is looking for a match to settle. She also addresses the issue of men wanting younger women. She suggests that life shouldn't revolve around finding a partner. Instead, live your life to the fullest and you'll like minded and open minded people around yourself soon.

A new National Park Service (NPS) study reports that visitors to North Dakota's national parks spent $49.6 million dollars in nearby communities in 2018.
Approximately 733, 000 people visited Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site, Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site, and Theodore Roosevelt National Park, supporting 695 jobs in the surrounding areas and having a cumulative benefit to the state economy of $65.5 million.
The peer-reviewed spending analysis was conducted by economists Catherine Cullinane Thomas and Egan Cornachione of the U.S. Geological Survey and Lynne Koontz of the National Park Service.
The report showsthat nationwide more than 318 million park visitors spent $20.2 billion in communities located within 60 miles of a national park.
That spending supported 329,000 jobs nationally; 268,000 of those jobs are found in gateway communities. The cumulative benefit to the U.S. economy was $40.1 billion.
The report authors also produced an interactive tool that enables users to explore visitor spending, jobs, labor income, value added, and output effects by sector for national, state, and local economies.
Users can also view year-by-year trend data.
The interactive tool and report are available at the NPS Social Science Program webpage: www.nps.gov/subjects/socialscience/vse.htm

Bird's big game can't lift Storm over Sun
The Sun (19-10) got their sixth straight win to take a 1�-game lead over Detroit in the Eastern Conference. They also tied San Antonio for the best record in the league. Ex-UConn star Asjha Jones led Connecticut with 20 points, Amber Holt had 15, and Tamika Whitmore and Carey added 12 apiece.
Seattle (18-10) fell a half-game behind San Antonio for the lead in the Western Conference. Sue Bird, also a former UConn star, led the Storm with 24 points. Swin Cash, another UConn standout, had 16 and Yolanda Griffith added 12.
Carey played a season-high 32 minutes in place of starting point guard Lindsay Whalen, who missed the game with a sprained ankle.
"It's hard to play in a game like this, especially when you look up at the scoreboard and see that Sue Bird has 20-plus points," Carey said. "She made the (U.S. Olympic) team for a reason. I did the best I could on her, but she definitely beat me two, three, four times."
Connecticut coach Mike Thibault was honored before the game for his role as an assistant coach with the women's U.S. Olympic team. The Sun also recognized Bird, Connecticut's Erin Phillips, who played for Australia, and the Sun's Svetlana Abrosimova, another UConn product, who represented Russia.

The original Dhivehi news report was published on news website: vfp.mv on 17th March 2017
Here is a loose translation:
The Vilimale member and PPM Parliamentary Group leader Ahmed Nihan Hassan Manik has said that the Constitution was amended to allow selling land to foreigners to sell Faafu Atoll.
In a leaked audio, Nihan has said the amendment to the Constitution to facilitate allowing foreigners to own land in the Maldives was brought, as the Heir to the Saudi Throne and Defence Minister Mohamed Bin Abdul Azeez wants to buy part of Faafu Atoll and to facilitate that sale.
Nihan also said that the Saudi royal family wants to undertake a 16 billion dollar project by reclaiming land in Faafu Atoll and the acquisition fee also has been already paid to the government of the Maldives. As this is such a huge investment the Saudi royal family did not want a 99-year lease.
Therefore in order to give a part of Faafu Atoll as an inheritance of the Saudi royal family the Constitution had to be amended and 70% of the land that will be reclaimed in Faafu atoll will become a property of the Saudi royal family and the Maldivians will own only 30% of that reclaimed land, Nihan said.
Nihan said that the prince wanted the area of Faafu atoll Himithee island, however at that time the Constitution did not allow the prince to own that area, thus the Constitution had to be amended and the main reason for the change of the Constitution was to facilitate Saudi royal family's ownership of that area of Faafu atoll.
Nihan also said that when the former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb was holding the post of Tourism Minister, during Waheed's presidency the acquisition fee for the sale of that area was taken. However, the amendment to allow owning of land ( by foreigners) was tabled with the instructions from President Yameen.

K E Watson MC
Many congratulations, immense pride and admiration for Acting Lance Corporal Kylie Elizabeth WATSON, Royal Army Medical Corps, who hails from Ballymena in County Antrim. L/Cpl Watson has been awarded the Military Cross.
She put herself in mortal danger to treat a wounded Afghan soldier under heavy Taliban fire; and gave medical care in exposed open ground for twenty minutes. Her citation spoke of her immense courage and described her as an inspiration to her platoon.
L/Cpl Watson is believed to be only the fourth woman to receive the Military Cross, the third highest award for gallantry.
L/Cpl Watson is among 136 service personnel, most of whom served in Afghanistan with 4 Mechanised Brigade between April and October last year, to be named in the latest military honours list.

A fund-raiser to benefit Hallandale's Crimewatch organization will take place next weekend in front of the Wal-Mart store at 2551 E. Hallandale Blvd.
Volunteers will sell hot dogs and soft drinks on Saturday and Feb. 16 to try to raise about $1,000. Wal-Mart, a co-sponsor of the event, pledges to match any amount raised, organizers say.
The Crimewatch group, which claims 2,500 members, oversees the S.A.L.T. program - Seniors and Law Enforcement Together - and neighborhood block captains who monitor and help deter criminal activities.
The money that is raised will be used for a number of programs, including replacing unsafe door locks at the homes of needy and older residents.
Lecture to address joy of volunteering
A lecture on the joys of volunteering has been planned for Feb. 17 in the auditorium of Hollywood Medical Center, 3600 Washington St.
The lecture, "Keeping Healthy Through Volunteering," has been scheduled for 1 p.m.
Barbra Warsetsky, a licensed clinical social worker, will discuss how participating in community activities may make for a longer, more productive life.
Reservations are required and can be made by calling the hospital at 954-985-6270.
