While Texans struggle to keep warm amid power outages caused by historic winter weather, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was spotted Wednesday boarding a plane for Cancun with members of his family.
Photographs from multiple sources showed Cruz in a mask standing in the boarding area for a United flight at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport with luggage, and then on the plane itself holding a passport ― sparking instant derision on social media.
In a statement issued early Thursday afternoon, the senator admitted to traveling for pleasure.
"Like millions of Texans, our family lost heat and power, too," Cruz said. Because his daughters' school was canceled due to the weather, Cruz and his wife, Heidi, decided to allow them to take "a trip with friends."
"Wanting to be a good dad, I flew down with them last night and am flying back this afternoon," he said. Given the ongoing threat of the coronavirus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises against nonessential travel to most areas of the world, including Mexico.
Later, speaking to reporters, he conceded that he had originally intended to stay with his family "through the weekend" but cut the plan short after realizing it was received badly back home. Text messages obtained by The New York Times also cast doubt on Cruz's suggestion that the trip came at the urging of his daughters or their friends.
Cruz assured constituents that he and members of his staff have been "in constant communication with state and local leaders to get to the bottom of what happened in Texas."
"I have to admit, I started having second thoughts almost the moment I sat down on the plane," he told local news reporters outside his Houston home Thursday evening. He continued: "Because on the one hand, all of us who are parents have a responsibility to take care of our kids, take care of our family. That's something Texans have been doing across the state. But I also have a responsibility that I take very seriously of fighting for the state of Texas, and leaving when so many Texans were hurting didn't feel right."
He added: "Look, it was obviously a mistake."
Cruz explained how ― after being one of the last homes in his wealthy neighborhood to have power ― the lights went dark for two days, eventually leading to his family needing to gather by their fireplace for warmth.
"We were trying to be good parents and we said, OK, we'll do it," Cruz said.
Details about the trip began to emerge in the early hours of Thursday morning. A passenger identified as "CRU, R." was spotted on the list of people waiting to upgrade seats for the United flight to Cancun. (The senator's full name is Rafael Edward Cruz.) Internet sleuths pointed to a long list of consistencies between the pictures purportedly taken on the plane to Cancun and photos of the senator, including a matching face mask, glasses, luggage, shoes and a ring.
Then, a "CRU, R." was spotted on a list of passengers awaiting the same upgrade on a flight from Cancun back to Houston.
Cruz was later seen making his way through the airport amid a flurry of cameras.
Cruz has vacationed at the resort town in the past ― but not while people across his home state scramble for potable water and food during a pandemic that has already strapped state resources. Temperatures plunged to below zero across Texas all week, and even more winter weather is now bearing down on the South.
The situation facing the Cruz family has been playing out with more terrible consequences all across the state for days.
The day he left, nearly 3 million Texas households were still without power, although the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the state's grid operator, says it has now restored power to many of them.
Images posted to social media show the aftermath of pipes bursting in the extreme cold, flooding homes and businesses that are not well-equipped for it.
As freezing temperatures persist, authorities have been warning people that improvised heating with gas can have deadly consequences.
Earlier this week, a woman and girl died in Houston from carbon monoxide poisoning after sitting in a running car parked in a garage while trying to keep warm. Similar incidents have sent people to the hospital, and a grandmother and three children died in a house fire while their neighborhood was without power. Others in the state have frozen to death outdoors.
At least one person, a man in his 60s, froze to death inside his Central Texas home, which had been without power for three days. His wife was found in need of urgent medical attention. Another person from the area died at a medical facility after a lack of water pressure prevented staff from performing necessary care, authorities said Thursday.
Cruz was well aware of the danger to his constituents and even advised them not to go out.
"If you can stay home, don't go out on the roads. Don't risk the ice," he said in a radio interview Monday. "We could see up to 100 people lose their lives this week in Texas, so don't risk it. Keep your family safe. Just stay home and hug your kids."
The Texas Democratic Party is now once again calling on the senator to resign.
"Ted Cruz jetting off to Mexico while Texans remain dying in the cold isn't surprising, but it is deeply disturbing and disappointing," party chair Gilberto Hinojosa said in a statement on Thursday. "Cruz is emblematic of what the Texas Republican Party and its leaders have become: weak, corrupt, inept and self-serving politicians who don't give a damn about the people they were elected to represent. They were elected by the people but have no interest or intent of doing their jobs."
Meanwhile, Cruz's Republican allies are offering increasingly absurd defenses of his brief jaunt to the Mexican beach town, arguing that the former presidential candidate was essentially powerless to help with his state's energy crisis.
In a brief update on the statewide situation Wednesday, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) did not say when all Texans could expect to see power restored. The situation has put hospitals on edge as dwindling reserves of potable water has forced doctors to transfer patients, according to the Texas Tribune.
Experts say that Texas ― which runs largely on fossil fuels ― never winterized much of its power-generating equipment, failing to plan for extreme weather that is increasingly more common due to climate change.
Unlike most states, Texas is powered almost entirely by its own power grid. The rest of the continental United States is powered by massive East Coast and West Coast grids that are subject to federal oversight.

For anyone who has eaten Pizza in Horsham they surely would have visited Bonnie & Clyde's at some point. The building itself is something to admire, the pizza is great too!
It's a rustic brick building with gorgeous exposed timber beams and a large open fire, it's welcoming and warm. However there was an area that needed some renovating… the toilets! Existing tiles had been removed due to movement in the concrete slab and cracking, instead of re-tiling the proprietors decided they wanted something more modern and up on trend. So they contracted us.
What a tiny little space to manoeuvre a large bulky concrete grinder!
The floor was grinded back to expose the wonderful stones underneath, it was grouted and sealed. Because of it being a wet area, polishing is not really advised.
The end result looks great. Have a look next time you're dining out at Bonnie & Clyde's, even old concrete can look amazing with the right amount of work.

Training - It's Not Just For Your Body
We often focus on the physical benefits of training: our personal progression, learning new techniques, improving endurance, etc. And while there are many physical benefits, we should also adhere to the mental benefits. One of the greatest, and often overlooked benefits of training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is that it requires us to be in the moment. It may sound trite, but when we step onto the mats for an hour and a half we temporarily leave our other problems behind. We are necessarily focused on the technique(s) or our training partners directly in front of us. In today's fast-paced digital society where we are bombarded 24/7 by a literal litany of information, and more recently some ....Read more

The form of this species shown above was originally introduced as P. duclouxii in the late 1990s, and has also been grown as P. grandiflora and P. thermopunctata. It has limited distribution in the wild, growing primarily in cracks in rocky limestone cliffs in south-eastern Yunnan, China, at around 2000m.
Han Meng-Qi, a botanical researcher in China who has published extensively on Petrocosmea, has identified both the feature plant above and others on the GRW previously posted as P. duclouxii and P. grandiflora as actually P. yanshansis. While there are differences among the three plants, Mr. Yan notes that these are within the normal variation seen within the populations of the species.

Registration opens for the 2022 cohort next fall. Get on the waitlist!
The Biz BFF Hive
Entrepreneurship is a wild and twisty journey
I see you over there, big dreamer! You have all these bold, audacious goals and small, sacred wishes. You're bursting with ideas and excitement! Annnnnd... with fears and doubts and questions and sometimes just pure, unfiltered exhaustion.
Running a business is freaking hard sometimes! It's lonely and confusing and overwhelming and beautiful and exciting and tedious and fun all at the same time! (That's a lot of feelings to feel all at once!)
And sure, you talk to your friends, or maybe even your partner. But they don't really get it. It feels like you're navigating this road all alone.
And with all these big feelings come all the big questions. Like, "With every business guru and expert touting a different 'right way' to do business, how do I know which is the right way for me?" And, "What if I put my whole self out there and nobody likes what they see?" Or, "What if I'm incredibly successful and become a rich, greedy bitch?" Meanwhile that imposter goblin in your ear is asking, "Who am I to do this? What makes me so special?" Even as you experience wins and successes, you hear yourself asking... "Ok, now what?"
Imagine what it would be like if...
What would be possible for you?
I built this magic into The Hive just for you!
I created The Hive to be the type of community I needed to survive the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship. (And to actually enjoy the ride!) I didn't want to join yet another group of thousands where I could pick up a few tips but never make real connections. I wanted a haven for business owners to become good friends. A space where we could sit around and talk about business and life, cry, laugh, mess up, learn, succeed, and celebrate!
I'm not going to pretend that there was some secret code I cracked to leave all my fears and insecurities behind in order to live my best life and build a successful business. No. There is no secret code.
It's more like a series of small, but powerful shifts. Ones that take continuous practice — and regular reminders to do that practice! The biggest 'secret' I've learned is this: with the right support, you can be a beautifully imperfect work-in-progress and still find wild, joyous success on your terms.
The Hive is where you can receive that support.
The Hive is not a place where you ever have to worry about fitting in or filling a mold. Because no matter who you are, no matter where you're from, no matter what your own personal flavor of weird is... you belong here exactly as you are right now.
The Biz BFF Hive
In the 2021 Hive Cohort You Get a Full Year of...
Like for real. The Hive is designed to empower, nurture, and stretch you to achieve your goals with guidance from an experienced coach — one that believes in you with her whole entire heart. Each year's Hive cohort is kept intentionally small so that every member has plenty of access to me (Your Biz BFF, Emily!) Because I want nothing more than to pull up a chair alongside yours and share everything I've learned in my 11-years as a serial entrepreneur with you.
On top of our monthly coaching calls, co-working sessions, and workshops, I am personally in the Facebook group each day hanging out, giving gobs of encouragement, answering your questions with 100% realness, sharing plenttyyyy of GIFs, and continuously reminding you that you have permission to fully be YOU.
You'll be a part of a suuuper supportive group of encouraging, honest, brilliant entrepreneurs from all over the world. You'll cheer each other on, lift each other up, and help each other succeed. And since you and your Hive cohort will be on a year-long journey together you'll have space to get to know one another, create genuine connections, and build deep, sacred trust. This creates an incredible, magical container for you to practice courage, strengthen your capabilities, and express your truest self creatively.
Your Hive sisters are the people who will give you advice when you're stuck, encourage you when you're struggling, and earnestly celebrate each and every little win with you. (Jealousy and judgment never enter the scene here!)
You won't find any one-size-fits-all teachings here! The Hive is about digging in deep. It's about exploring and experimenting with just enough structure to guide you along the way. You are a whole, unique human and you deserve a whole, unique business strategy!
Using my thoughtful, super-flexy system we'll walk through each facet of your business to grow from exactly where you are right now. I am here to help you find the strategy that works for your unique business. We'll spend the year exploring and improving every area of your business in a way that's easy, freeing, and fun!
Your days of wasting hours on YouTube listening to hyped up digital marketers bro-splain business to you through long, jargon-filled tutorials are over!
The Hive includes 24/7 access to an extensive library of courses to dive deep into any area of your business and learn how to use tech tools quickly and easily!
As a former middle school Algebra teacher, I know how to make even the intimidating topics feel approachable. Each lesson in the Hive library gives fun, friendly, easy to understand, step-by-step instructions.
Plus I'm always creating new courses and tutorials based on what you want to learn!

Emily puts so much of herself into the group--everyone always feels supported and motivated
I have grown so inspired by Emily's upbeat approach and easy-to-follow lessons, and I've been using the skills she taught me ever since her first Canva training 4 years ago. Naturally when she started a group for like-minded business owners I jumped at the chance to be a part of it, and I've been a member of the Hive since the beginning.
I'm a member of many other business clubs, but I suspect they will come and go, whereas the Hive will be forever. What I particularly love about the Hive is the supportive community which Emily has created. No problem is too big or too small for the Hive mind. Emily puts so much of herself into the group–everyone always feels supported and motivated whatever stage they are in, and whatever obstacles are in their way.

It's the place I can show up whole and imperfect.
"The Hive is the place I can come and be real. I can say I'm struggling and I need help with this stuff. Every other group I'm in is more about prospecting and connecting with ideal clients, so I show up just to give. But in the Hive I can give and receive support. It's the place I can show up whole and imperfect."

Hi! I'm Emily!!! And I saved you a seat next to me...
I'm Emily Roach, and I'm a teacher, a community builder, and a professional best friend (what a freaking awesome job!)
I work with folx who are ready to show the fuck up for themselves — to create the life you want to live, to put yourself out in the world as the truest version of who you are, and to embrace the possibilities of who you're meant to be. (Even if that sounds a little scary... because I'll be here to hold your hand!)
I believe that…
- you have incredibly valuable and unique gifts and that the world wants you to share them.
- you totally have what it takes to learn the skills you need to shine brightly in a noisy, crowded world.
- fun is a crucial element to learning, succeeding, and thriving.
- when people come together, lean on each other, and support each other, we can be fucking unstoppable.
And it's these core beliefs that are the very foundation of the Biz BFF Hive. I can't wait to see you there!

From floundering on my own to feeling like a pro
Emily changed the way I do business. I feel ready to share my ideas and products with confidence. I went from floundering on my own to feeling and looking like a pro by taking Branding from the Inside Out. Emily made things so simple! She is fun and enthusiastic. She makes everyone feel welcome and helps each of us when we get stuck.

Easy to follow and to the point
My favorite thing about Emily's courses is that she keeps the videos easy to follow and to the point! I can pop in and do one module to learn one new thing without it taking up my whole day. I was so excited when I heard about the Hive! I'd already worked my way through the Canva Crash Course and Branding from the Inside Out, so joining the Hive was a no-brainer for me.

Deep-Dive Topics
Ok, confession... I don't think we can actually manage time. But we can manage how we spend our time. We can manage our behavior. We can manage our energy. We can set ourselves up with a schedule that fits who we are and how we work. Create your own definition of "productivity" and show the f up for yourself--work on habits that support you in feeling like you're using your time in a way that aligns with your values. At the end of this module, you'll be all set to have another amazing year!
Branding is a big, vague word that really just means showing up in the way you want to show up. Are people seeing the real you when they interact with your business? Explore who you are and how to show up as your truest self in all areas of your business.
Already have a brand design? Then get ready to dive even deeper into who you are and how you want to show up! We'll approach branding from many angles, so you'll be able to grow from wherever you are right now.
***Bonus! Branding from the Inside Out is included as a bonus in your Hive membership! If it's time to work on the foundation of your brand and create beautiful visual brand elements, this is the perfect time to join! This $597 course is now included in your membership!***
Define your ideal customer and target market in a way that's more intuitive and fun than traditional client avatar exercises. Get to the heart of who you really want to work with and how you can show up in a way that attracts the people you love working with most.
Create and package offers that people love to buy! We'll explore your whole business model and how it's working for you. Then we'll zoom in to focus on your actual offers and how to structure your products and services in a way that supports your clients and supports you!
Ahhh, asking for the sale! Whether you're completely terrified of selling or all you freaking do is sell, I bet there's something about selling you wish was easier. We'll work on how you can invite people to open their wallets in a way that feels fun, easy, and light. (You can totally sell without feeling like a gross used car salesman!)
What do we do in between promotions and sales? We nurture our audience so they keep loving us and they're prepped to buy from us when we invite them to buy! We'll work on fun, engaging ways to keep your audience obsessed with you in between promotions.
There's a big difference between marketing to strangers who have never heard of you and marketing to a warm audience who knows who you are and what you're all about. We'll work on turning strangers into warm leads by creating and sharing an opt-in offer that feels totally aligned to your services/products.
Explore different strategies for attracting new people into your audience, and choose the tactics that feel most exciting to try. We'll take the pressure off by approaching marketing, ads, and SEO as an experiment (Yay, science!)
Ooo, we're going to dive into your relationship with money! How you feel about it, how you tend to it, and what you desire when it comes to the earning, spending, care & keeping of all things moneyyyyy
Once we have all of our money baggage cleared, we can approach pricing from a heart-centered, authentic place and feel really really good about charging what we want to charge. We'll look at pricing from many angles, including pricing products, services, and information in a way that both funds your lifestyle and gives you an edge in competitive markets

It gives me hope and reminds me there's a solution for every challenge
It is so encouraging to see how Hive members are overcoming the challenges they are facing. It gives me hope and reminds me there is a solution for every challenge we face. Sometimes I just need help to see it. Emily's upbeat, fun loving, sparkling leadership is a blessing as I trudge through learning something new.
Frequently Asked Questions
I'm a brand new business owner, is The Hive for me?
Absolutely! The Hive provides a wonderful foundation and supportive community for new business owners, plus the strategic support you need to build each core element of your business. The Course Library offers fun, straightforward tutorials to help you jump right in and get started. Access to coaching and a sisterhood will help you to navigate this new, exciting, and wild journey!
I've been in business for years, is The Hive for me?
Hell yeah! I've been in business for 11 years and I'm still learning new things and discovering new layers of myself everyday. (And some of our Hive members have owned their businesses for over 20 years!)
Some of the common themes I see among seasoned business owners is that we feel lonely, burnt out, and that we're losing sight of why we started in the first place. The Hive provides coaching and community to help you reconnect with yourself, get back in the driver's seat, and make your big, dreamy goals happen.
This seems like a lot! How will I keep up?
I know there's a lot of information on this page to take in. I want to communicate every little thing that's included when you join The Hive so you can know if it's the right fit for you.
But I don't want to overwhelm you! You get to make your time in the Hive work for you however you want. Some people will work through the journal prompts and watch a lesson here and there when they need it. Others will comment on every Facebook post, devour every course, and be the first to hop on every live call.
I've designed this to support you and your schedule. So take the pieces you need and leave the rest. There's absolutely no expectation to use everything that's included, and there's no such thing as falling behind!
When are the live calls? What if I can't make it?
Since The Hive is an international community, spanning many time zones, we rotate through call times so everyone has several chances to join live! And if you can't make a particular meeting, you are always welcome to submit questions ahead of time for discussion. All calls are recorded so you can watch at a time that works for you!
What if I'm not on Facebook?
You do not need to use Facebook to get a ton of support in The Hive and participate in this community! We have several opportunities to connect each month through video calls, and all the Hive resources are available to you 24/7 on the website.
Do I get private, 1:1 coaching with Emily?
In the Hive, you get several opportunities for personalized support from me (Emily) as well as from the group!
We meet monthly via Zoom Video Chat for group coaching calls. During these calls, everyone gets the chance to receive laser coaching on their specific questions when they need it!
You'll also receive regular guidance, support, and encouragement from me in the Facebook group. I'm in there most weekdays and will always weigh in with my thoughts and questions.
This is not the same as private, 1:1 coaching (in many ways, I find group coaching even more effective and valuable!) If you are looking for an even deeper level of support, the opportunity to join a small group mastermind will open up in January--exclusively for Hive members! This will include some 1:1 coaching throughout the year.

Oregon will showcase its diverse array of golf product to the world when the 10th annual North America Golf Tourism Convention (NAC) takes place in the heart of America's Beaver State, from 24-27 June at Sunriver Resort in Central Oregon.
Golf tour operator delegates from 29 countries will descend on the city of Bend, known for its golf-friendly climate with more than 300 sunny days a year. The fully-booked event is being organized by global golf tourism organization IAGTO (International Association of Golf Tour Operators).
The impact of NAC 2018 will be felt statewide, as the vast majority of attending tour operators will also be participating in a series of familiarization tours before and after the convention to experience top golf courses throughout Oregon.
Throughout the three-day event, the tour operators will have meetings with golf clubs, golf resorts and hotels, as well as tourist boards, regional destinations, receptive tour operators and ancillary service providers. This year, 10% of the US suppliers will be attending for the first time, including Oregon representatives from Tualatin Valley, Running Y Ranch, Silvies Valley Ranch and Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club.
In addition to the large US contingent, suppliers will also be attending from Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Panama, Costa Rica, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Trinidad & Tobago and Jamaica.
This will be one of the concluding events for Central Oregon Visitors Association CEO Alana Hughson, a former Chair of the Oregon Tourism Commission, before she retires after 25 years as head of the organization.
"Visit Central Oregon is tremendously excited to host IAGTO for its North America Convention in June," Hughson said. "This is the single most important conference of the year for our destination and the state and region will be rolling out the red carpet for NAC attendees.
"Our destination will offer pre and post familiarization tours, including a number of Top 100 golf courses, as well as excursions for fly fishing, cycling, hiking, river rafting and craft beverage tasting. We look forward to celebrating NAC's 10th anniversary in Central Oregon style."
Lisa Itel, Director of Global Strategic Partnerships for Travel Oregon, is excited about the positive impact the forthcoming event will have for golf tourism in the state.
"Travel Oregon sees NAC 2018 as a turning point in the expansion of international golf tourism to Oregon, particularly in the Central Oregon region," Itel said. "It's also an incredible opportunity to grow the global golf travel business from other parts of the world by showcasing the exceptional golf product found throughout the state.
"Europe is currently the biggest overseas market for golf visitors, thanks to non-stop flights to Portland. NAC 2018 is also seen as a huge opportunity to boost golf tourism from Asia, particularly China, Korea and Japan. China and Japan are currently the state's two biggest overseas visitor markets."
Itel believes the growth of direct and indirect flights to Portland is a trend that will continue. "International visits to the US have outpaced the domestic travel demand over the past decade," she added. "And, in Oregon, we are outpacing the national average of international visitation with a 6% increase in 2017, which is nearly double the total of international visitation, nationally."
IAGTO's Chief Executive, Peter Walton, said: "We could not have chosen a better place in which to stage our celebratory 10th North America Golf Tourism Convention. I believe that NAC is going to be momentous for Oregon, because it is one of the world's lesser-known, but spectacular, golf destinations that should be on any golfer's radar. There are some 30 golf courses within Central Oregon, including three Top 100 courses (Crosswater, Tetherow and Pronghorn), all of which have been incorporated into the fam tour programs and golf tournament."
Walton added: "Our fams are also showcasing some of Oregon's other great golf destinations including the Portland Region's Tualatin Valley, Bandon Dunes and Southern Oregon.
"In addition, Sunriver Resort is celebrating its own 50th anniversary this year, so to be able to take over the entire resort as the summer season kicks off is a real privilege."

Bahamas Braces for Hurricane Irma
The Bahamas braces for Hurricane Irma, on its way to the Bahamas as a potentially catastrophic Category 5 Hurricane. Hurricane warnings have been issued for parts of the the southeastern, central and northwestern Bahamas. Tropical storm force winds may arrive there as early as late Thursday.
Hurricane Irma is the most powerful storm ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean. This Category 5 hurricane will likely hit the Bahamas, and water levels are expected to rise up to 20 inches. Heavy rains associated with Irma could potentially cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides.
More Bahamas Cruise Cancelations
The Bahamas, with more than 700 islands and cays, is spread over 100,000 square miles. There is a hurricane warning for the southern islands, while the central and northern islands remain unaffected thus far.
Bahamas Prime Minister Hubert Minnis says his government has ordered a mandatory evacuation in the southern part of the island chain because of Hurricane Irma. Minnis says the Category 5 storm is an impending threat to the islands of Mayaguana, Inagua, Crooked Island, Acklins, Long Cay and Ragged Island.
People who live on the islands will be flown Wednesday to Nassau on the island of New Providence. Minnis says it will be the largest hurricane evacuation in the history of the Bahamas. Those who don't evacuate will be at "great danger" from storm surge caused by hurricane Irma. Minnis says emergency personnel may not be available to rescue them when the storm is at its height between Thursday and Friday.
Tourism is the Bahamas' top resource, and Irma may cost the island millions of dollars. There will be a significant effect on tourist arrival to the island. All visitors and potential visitors are advised to follow the progress of Hurricane Irma closely.
Minister of Tourism Dionisio D'Aguilar stated that even as The Bahamas settles into its traditionally slow season, Irma will have considerable impact on the island's tourism industry. Irma will "scare people off" he said.
Cruises Canceled
Carnival Cruises canceled two Bahamas cruises out of Miami and changed itineraries for five others to avoid the the wrath of Irma. Norwegian canceled two cruises that would have left Miami for the Bahamas and the Caribbean, and shortened two other cruises. Royal Caribbean canceled two cruises to the Bahamas and one to Cuba, and it delayed the return of three others until the storm passes. Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line, canceled cruises for Friday and Sunday to Grand Bahama Island from the Riviera Beach seaport in Palm Beach.
Disney canceled Saturday's sailing of the 2,500-passenger Disney Fantasy and the Friday and Monday sailings of the 2,500-passenger Disney Dream. Both vessels are based in Port Canaveral and also were Bahamas bound.
Balearia Caribbean issued a statement that they will not be sailing until at least Thursday, September 14. Travelers are urged to check their website for updates on sailing schedule. Guests who are scheduled on the days cancelled, will be able to re-book at no charge.
All cruise lines promised full refunds for canceled cruises and partial refunds or credits for shortened cruises, plus additional credits in some cases.
Bahamasair released a statement explaining to its ticket holders that it would waive the change fees for any travellers wanting to adjust their travel itineraries because of the storm.
"All passengers booked to travel from Monday, September 4 through Monday, September 18 will not incur any change fees for adjustments made to travel itineraries during this period."
British Airways has also cancelled yesterday's and today's flights from Gatwick to Antigua, which normally continue to the islands of Tobago and St Kitts respectively. They are also offering a "waiver" to anyone booked to fly to Antigua, St Kitts, Punta Cana, Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos, and Nassau before 10 September.
People who are on a package holiday to the region should keep in close contact with their travel provider, monitor news reports and follow the advice from local authorities.
The Bahamas has also instituted a Hurricane Hotel Policy which states that visitors who cancel a Bahamas holiday during a hurricane will receive an immediate refund with no penalties.
The Grand Hyatt Baha Mar, a resort and casino in Nassau, is informing customers they will be required to evacuate the property if the island is determined to be in the path of Hurricane Irma.
Hyatt said four other hotels in the region are also ceasing normal operations due to mandatory or suggested evacuation orders, including the Hyatt Centric in Key West; the Hyatt Place Marathon/Florida Keys; the Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty-Six in Ft. Lauderdale, and the Confidante in Miami Beach.
Hyatt guests with pre-paid reservations will get refunds, and cancellation fees will be waived, according to a Hyatt spokesperson.
As of this date, hurricane warnings have been issued for the Bahamas. Tropical storm force winds may arrive there as early as late Thursday.List of Canceled Cruises

(NOT) Hambo Hoedown #23 - Dog Days
Here's this week's image (free if you played last week and remembered to send them your card image, which I did like the moment I posted my card LAST TUESDAY!):
We also had a free digi of the cat version available, so I did both. Oh, this week we were supposed to do a ROUND card, so here are mine:
NOT ROUND! AAAAAAAAACK! Since I totally blew it, twice, I didn't even bother with the sentiment because WHAT IS THE POINT?!?!
By the way, that's not dirt on the waves - it's blue glitter, but who really cares since it doesn't count?! :(
In other news, I have company hitting town tomorrow evening, so I may not have time to do a ROUND card for this challenge. Or maybe I will. Who knows? But you totally should go make one, because these images are very cute, and you'll probably remember to make it ROUND. Sigh.
Thanks for stopping by.

well, i'm sorry they don't count for the challenge... but they are still AWESOME cards!!! i've totally done that, too though, with regard to not reading instructions properly or even (this is worse!) reading them and then FORGETTING b/c i got distracted by something shiny! sigh. back to my original point: these are ♥FABULOUS♥ abd will sell next week at the farmer's market, i predict!!! :)ReplyDelete

Softbank takes to the crowded skies for coverage
Softbank has become the latest major telco to look at providing connectivity from space, announcing a raft of initiatives to broaden access to communications networks.
There's nothing brand spanking new in the Japanese operator's announcement; it's more a coming together of its existing satellite communications offerings. But it's significant because it signals a serious push in the area of satellite-based communications at a time when competition in the skies is hotting up.
Domestic rival NTT unveiled its plan to launch data centres in space just a couple of weeks ago, while the likes of SpaceX, OneWeb – the latter being part-owned by Softbank – and others are launching thousands of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites in a race to provide connectivity to difficult-to-reach areas. The skies are getting very crowded and Softbank is setting itself up to be a major figure in that crowd.
Specifically, Softbank is looking to use its various satellite capabilities to extend connectivity, with a focus on businesses, although there will be benefits for consumers too.
"To digitalize and transform analogue industries without access to communication networks, Softbank will aim to provide advanced and seamless connectivity services and Digital Transformation (DX) solutions in Japan and around the world," the telco said.
Its portfolio includes recent partner Skylo, a Geosynchronous Earth Orbiting (GEO) satellite firm which provides NB-IoT connectivity and services to industries like fishing, mining and shipping, and OneWeb, the UK-based LEO satellite service that will focus on providing communications services to governments, businesses and consumers; the pair offer lower cost and lower latency options respectively compared with traditional GEO services, Softbank said.
It also runs HAPSMobile, which is building a High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS)-based stratospheric telecommunication platform to allow it to provide LTE and 5G services direct to consumers, including in regions lacking tradition mobile infrastructure.
"There are still many analogue industries around the world that lack sufficient access to communication networks. Providing Internet access is the first step to digitally transform these industries, and we believe our NTN solutions will be extremely effective technologies to achieve this goal," said Hidebumi Kitahara, VP at SoftBank Corp and Head of the Technology Unit's Global Business Strategy Division.
"With our NTN solutions powered by Skylo, OneWeb and HAPSMobile, we'll work to offer telecommunication networks globally," he said.
"At the end of the day, customers just want seamless connectivity — we're finally able to do that at price points and at a form factor that has eliminated the historical disparity in addressable market size between users of terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks," added Skylo CEO and co-founder Parth Trivedi.
Trivedi's comment illustrates why the satellite sector has become so hot of late. Satellite has always been there in the background as a connectivity option for difficult-to-reach areas, but the industry was stifled by high costs and equipment constraints. Technology has moved on and now satellite is a valid option, so naturally there is a lot of interest in getting into the market now, just as Softbank is clearly seeking to do.
One comment
Softbank Telco 9434 on TSE is a real bargain still below its ipo price and provides biggest Dividends for a Japanese stock. It has also only fluctuation a few % during turmoil and volatility of stock market. Fantastic long term stock to hold and the global coverage plan opens new income streams.

Galileo the Scientific Parrot - Veritasium
[color=rgb(51,51,51)][font=arial][size=3]On the surface of Earth all objects accelerate downwards at the same rate - at least, they're supposed to. But we all know dust, pieces of paper, and feathers fall slower. This is of course due to the influence of air resistance. In this experiment we use an evacuated cylinder to test whether a coin and feather really do accelerate at the same rate.[/size][/font][/color]

WHAT IS IT: This is a crochet pattern for the Amee top – a 90's top with open back and spaghetti straps.
LANGUAGE: English & Dansk
100-150 g
Cotton, 8/4, 50 g = 170 m
Yarn weight 1/superfine/fingering/suitable for 2,5-3,5 mm hook
This is the roughly measurement going around the top:
XS: 70-76 cm
S: 76-80 cm
M: 80-86 cm
PROCESS: The instructions includes everything from yarn type, hook size and thorough explanation of my own very unique stitch used for this top. You can also pick just 1 color for the top.
!! The pattern doesn't contain explanation about when to change color as the stripes are random!!
EXTRA INFO: The top is supposed to be made in cotton yarn and therefore the top might seem tight to begin with – but because cotton gives a lot this has been taken into consideration when writing down the pattern and that makes for a top that fits the body tightly.
If you use yarn that doesn't give, please go up a size.

It's no coincidence that the internet forum dedicated to ZHP package equipped BMWs is called "ZHP Mafia." Like the mafia, the ZHP is the kind of thing that if you know then you know, and if don't know, be careful who you ask. However, unlike asking the wrong question of the mafia (which may land you in a New Jersey wetland via the trunk of Brougham d'Elegance), asking a BMW nerd about a ZHP has a better chance of boring you to sleep as they prattle on about the technical and moral superiority of their car. They'll start by talking about a hotter cam, you'll black out somewhere around the sport suspension with upgraded M spec control arms, and if you're lucky you'll regain consciousness sometime after they fully geek out over the red instrument needles.
Seriously though, the excitement is wholly warranted. And if you make it through the Tolstoy-esque description unscathed, you'll probably want to go buy one. The ZHP may be the best BMW for daily use ever made.
And among ZHPs, the example listed here is one of the best available anywhere. It is an immaculate 2006 Convertible with 40,600 mile and a manual transmission. It's bathed in Imola Red paint, with black Montana leather upholstery. It's scrumptious, and we'll discuss it in more detail below. But first, let's talk about what ZHP really means.
The BMW 3 Series produced from 1997 to 2006 is known both internally and by enthusiasts as the "E46." It was preceded by the E36, succeeded by the E90 and so on. Many consider the E46 3 Series to be the best modern BMW ever. It is just the right size, has a sweet straight six engine, manual trans option, hydraulic steering, rear wheel drive, and just the right amount of computerization to make it very accessible and potent without making it a programming nightmare to own out of warranty. While we're sharing blatantly subjective opinions, I think that the cars of the late 1990s to early 200s will be known as a golden period in enthusiast cars for all of those same reasons.
On that solid platform we add what was designated on a BMW ordering form as the "ZHP Package." It could be added to E46 330i sedans from 2003 to 2005, and coupes and convertibles from 2004 to August of 2006. This June of 2006 build convertible is close to the very end of the line of not just ZHPs, but E46s. And that is always a good thing when buying a used car as the manufacturer has used all the buyers that came before to do their real world testing, and made all the requisite tweaks. When new ZHP added about $3,900 to the sticker price.
So what exactly did the ZHP package add? A lot. Starting with the M54B30 inline six found in the 330i, it bumped horsepower to 235 (from 225 in the regular 330i), and torque to 222 lb-ft (up from 214) by adding an intake, a hotter cam shaft, and freer flowing exhaust and tuning the ECU accordingly. The cam and tune allow the ZHP to spin a higher readline at 6,800 rpms. The power is routed through the same gearboxes found in the 330i which are plenty stout, but finds the axels through a shorter differential ratio of 3.07.
In the wheel wells all ZHPs were fitted with the sport suspension (ZSP), along with "M" spec lower control arms not found on any other non-M three series. M Performance brakes were fitted, and ZHP specific staggered BMW M Style 135 wheels, 18x8 in front, 18x8.5 rear.
In the interior many ZHPs were fitted with alcantara seats and steering wheel. This looked gorgeous when new, but had all the durability of wet toilet paper. Fortunately whoever spec'd the subject car chose to go with Montana leather seats and a perforated leather wrapped M wheel both of which were available options on all ZHPs.
A weighted and shorter gear knob and short throw shift linkage were fitted, and both unique to the ZHP and not found on any other E46. (NOTE: the subject car here has what appears to be the regular E46 330 shift knob. Subject to availability, the Seller will acquire the ZHP specific shift knob and include it in the sale). There are many other additions to the ZHP, including: red gauge needles; M Tech 2 body kit; Black cube trim; trunk spoiler (not on 'vert); and sport package seats.
So what was the result? Many think it's better than the E46 M3 for daily and street driving purposes. That's not bluster. You can hear it from others here, here, and here. It's one of those rare builds that finds just the right amount more of everything, in a reliable and usable package.
Only 806 manual transmission convertibles were sent to the U.S., and of those only 91 had Imola Red paint and Montana black leather, as this car is spec'd. The seller has spent a great deal of attention getting this car into exquisite condition. He was working from a solid low mileage platform, and has done several little things that can make the difference to an enthusiast, including replacing the front bumper with an OEM part to remedy the typical cosmetic damage, touching up the paint meticulously, sourcing and replacing faded or missing "M" badging on wheels and elsewhere, and performing a superb paint correction. The only item known to the seller still to be done is fixing a strip of dead pixels on the nav screen (shown in photos), a common issue that has been addressed by the aftermarket.
The car presently has about 40,600 miles on the odometer. The motor and trans are believed to be original, all body panels except for the OEM replaced front bumper cover are believed to be original, and there are no known mechanical issues. All switches, buttons, and controls work as they should. There is a video of the top opening and closing included.
This one features a highly desirable 6 speed manual transmission, a Getrag unit shared with non-ZHP pack cars, but it is paired with a shorter ratio differential (3.07) here. The motor is a silky smooth M54 inline 6 cylinder motor. An extensive stack of records will transfer with the car. The seller would be happy to detail the service history with any interested buyer.
The Style 135 wheels are free of curb rash and spin true. Brand new Falken Azenis tires in stock sizing (225/40-18 front; 255/35-18 rear) have been fitted (note: this was done subsequent to many of the photos above) as the old tires were approaching the end of their recommended life. The Imola Red II paint was recently corrected. Two chips were repaired on the driver side to a very high standard (we could not capture them in pictures, despite our best efforts). The M-Tech II front bumper was recently replaced with an OEM unit to correct some damage to the front lip caused by a vehicle delivery transport. The trim on the driver's door (which was scratched, a common issue with this trim) was recently replaced. The convertible does not have the rear lip spoiler of coupe or sedan variants.
The black Montana leather interior is in excellent shape with no visible tears, rips or excessive wear. This car was optioned with leather seats and steering wheel (deleting the poorly aging alcantara found in many ZHPs). The far more durable leather has resulted in the overall excellent condition you see here. The highly bolstered seats are heated. The head unit has navigation and the Harmon/Kardon sound package. There are several pixels out on the screen, but it is fully functional and repair kits are available.
If you would like more information or to make an offer on this car please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com, and we will put you in direct contact with the seller.

Board member Edith Lanfer just returned from a project visit to The Gambia and has great things to report about the gardens of Jumansar, Dutabullu, Chamen und Kalataba.
Green, wherever you look – the vegetable gardens are in full bloom
I was more than surprised when I entered the vegetable gardens of the participating villages. Every field is planted with tomatoes, onions, eggplant, bitter tomatoes, sweet pepper, lettuce, hot pepper – up to the very last corner. In the gardens of Jumansar, Chamen, Dutabullu and Kalataba there are more vegetables than ever before. Right now 1000 – 2000 kilograms of tomatoes are harvested every week. And lots of baskets of wonderful salad.
The villagers have increased their produce tremendously. What is the reason for this new eagerness?
Better livelihood
Better living conditions are certainly one of the major factors for the women to invest even more hard work into vegetable gardening. Since we installed solar driven pumping systems in the four villages in the Badibou Distrikt of Gambia in 2011, 2012 and 2014, the villagers are no longer dependent on the short rainy season. For the first time the women and youth can earn an income throughout the year. Since then each women/ family has an income of approximately 80 Euro per year. Even after the deduction of the small fee to cover the maintenance work of the pump, they have about 50 Euro to invest into special expenses, such as school fees for one of their kids, the repair of their homes or urgently needed household goods. It sounds incredibly little for us, but it is an income which they never had before. That motivates. It motivates the women to continuously grow more vegetables, hoping to achieve a higher income.
Together with our efforts to optimize planting cycles, adapted vegetable varieties and enhanced bed preparation, the yield is increasing enormously.
But there is a painful reality to it.
Falling prices
The money the women and youth earn is still to little! The tons of tomatoes which are harvested presently everywhere in the country lead to a painful drop in sales prices. Frequently they have to sell 20 kilograms of tomatoes for just 50 Dalasi, this equals to just one Euro!
With the method of food processing, the women want to try to counter the loss of income. Together we made first trials and created recipes. But it remains to be seen wether the women will find buyers for their barbecue sauces or ketchup and indeed increase their income. We'll keep you informed.

Egypt's military killed dozens of suspected Islamist militants in an operation in Sinai, security sources said on Wednesday, while state media reported the kidnapping of a businessman in the region.
Apache helicopter gunships killed 18 suspected militants after they destroyed four vans in North Sinai, security sources in the remote but strategic region said. Twenty were killed when the military bombed a residence, a school and a youth centre where the suspected militants were gathering near the North Sinai town of Sheikh Zuweid, the sources said. Twenty-eight militants were wounded, they said.

Winter 2022 CPR Recertification Classes
MSHVFAS requires that ALL members recertify in Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers each year. On this note, we host our annual recertification courses each winter season in the hopes that everyone will be on the same cycle. Even if you've completed your EMT course in 2022, we suggest taking the course now, so you remain on the same 1-year cycle as everyone else.
Cadets, regardless of when you graduated from the class, you should all plan on taking one of these recertification classes.
Additionally, this year we will be doing hands-on practice with the AutoPulse at the end of the class. It is requested everyone review the training videos prior to the class by logging into your account here or register for a new account here. If prompted, the registration key is Millburn.
Again, please make every effort to attend as we do not plan on hosting any recertification throughout the year for those who expire. If you cannot make any of the dates listed, or have any outstanding questions, please contact Aaron Bell at firstname.lastname@example.com.

大崎市竹工芸館 / Osaki City Takekougeikan
Walk around town in real samurai armor
Photo by Xander McGrouther
Photo by Xander McGrouther
Photo by Xander McGrouther
Photo by Xander McGrouther
Osaki has a long history of having its lands contested by feuding samurai clans. Ultimately, its lands were brought under the control of Masamune Date, during the Edo period. Masamune Date was known for his toughness, but also for his exquisite taste and sense of style. In honor of this history, at the Osaki City Takekougeikan, visitors have the opportunity to dress in what was once the actual armor worn by Date clan warriors.
There are three armor options: the heavy yet magnificent samurai armor, the less heavy, yet still-incredible foot soldier armor, or a replica of Masamune Date's own distinctive armor. A trained staff member will help suit you up. From the first layer, a silk hakama, to the final touch, the kabuto helmet, one thing you'll realize while suiting up is just how much work putting on armor is. However, once you've tied on your waraji sandals and caught a glimpse of yourself in the mirror, katana sword in hand, you'll know the effort was worth it.
Once dressed, you're free to walk around town in your armor. The standard plan allows visitors ninety minutes to walk around, but longer is fine so long as you inform the staff in advance. Strolling the town is a good chance to see the sights of the historic Iwadeyama area and take extra-memorable photos. The historical district is about a ten-minute walk from the museum. Along the way, you may encounter passersby who'll ask for a photo with you, which I found to be the most entertaining part of the entire experience.
Being real samurai armor, it's quite weighty. By the time you're done walking around town and posing for pictures, you'll feel as if you've had a full-body workout. But at the end of the day, it's an exceptionally fun and unique experience I would recommend to anyone looking to experience a piece of Japanese history.

I haven't been completely transparent with you about what I'm up to – thus far, you've only seen pieces of what I've been working on all these years. Even my last attempt at this in "What I'm Here to Do" muted the deeper level of my journey.
The other day, Pam and I were talking with one of our Lift Offians about the journey she's on. She has a big vision at the same time that she has the capabilities to actualize it, but she hasn't shared a lot of it thus far.
Why? Because it's bigger than the world she knows now. It seems beyond her reach. It's too bold, too big, and who is she to be the one to do it?
So, instead, she shows tiny pieces of it. Despite the fact that she's been in the New York Times and is slated to be in some magazines. Despite the fact that everyone she talks to sees that bigger vision in her without articulating it.
While I was giving her counsel, it turns out the counsel that I gave her is the counsel I need to heed myself. (How dare I not have it all figured out! Such blasphemy.)
It wouldn't be right to not model my message, so here goes:
What I've really been doing all these years is helping leaders achieve their full potential and do good in the world.
I've been on this journey my whole life.
My dad was an Army sergeant through-and-through and raised his sons to be mentally tough, resourceful, and men of character.
I was in Boy Scouts since I was six and became an Eagle Scout when I was 18.
That same year, I went to West Point (though I didn't stay) and joined the Army National Guard when was 22. While in the Guard, I became an officer, was activated, and did a tour in Operation Iraqi Freedom leading, training, and serving when I was but 24. I came home and continued to do the same, with a pinnacle experience of commanding a 219-strong high-optempo transportation unit when I was 27. (In hindsight, that's a lot of responsibility for such a young person.)
My philosophical studies were in ethics and social/political philosophy. My chief areas of exploration were simultaneously systems of justice and the cultivation of virtue and arete in individuals.
My body of work in entrepreneurship and business is largely around how to manifest our vision, principles, and possibilities into change in the world through effective action. Though I use words like "coach," "consultant", and "advisor" because they make sense in the marketplace, in my mind, it's been leadership training the whole time. It just so happens that the domain of leadership has been business and entrepreneurship. To be clear, my meaning of leadership here entails more than market prominence – it includes the moral and human elements of leadership, too.
Many people have suggested and encouraged that I should do more group offers throughout the years and I've always resisted it. It turns out that it's incredibly challenging to help individuals become better leaders; in a group setting, it becomes even more challenging. It requires crafting the right environment, with the right praxis, with the right people, and I've yet to see a virtual program that manages to put those together in the right way. (We've done that in Lift Off.)
I have a special ability to guide women, minorities, creatives, and thinkers – the people who are usually the quiet leaders getting stuff done out of the spotlight. Many don't consider themselves leaders or capable of leadership because the models of leadership they've seen don't fit them or because they've been told – directly or indirectly through socialization – that they're not the stuff of leadership. (If this sounds like you, please watch my presentation "Go Big or Go Home – Or Go Deep.")
Productivity, creativity, business, entrepreneurship, and the rest are just vehicles and gateways to the end goal of flourishing. People read the "productive" part of this website's name and forget that it's an qualifier of "flourishing." That's not really their fault, though – I haven't put all of this out there.
Lift Off. Small Business Executive Coaching. Living the Good Life. Perhaps you'll see how they fit together now. And, as I continue to build the academy, you'll know the underlying foundation.
p.s. It's okay if you've been hiding, too. Come out in your own time. It took me years of unlearning aspects of my academic miseducation and socialization to get here.

Federal Student Loans
- Federal Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans
- Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students
- Federal Graduate PLUS Loan
- Nursing Student Loan
Private Student Loans
Private student loans are available from private lenders for students whose cost of attendance has not been met with other financial aid. Private student loan lenders will indicate if a student is required to have completed a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The terms and conditions for private students loans differ among lenders and students are advised to carefully compare several loan programs before choosing a lender. TWU does not promote or endorse any private education loan lenders. ELMSelect is a lender-neutral platform that displays a historical list of lenders that our students have used over the past award year.
Apply online through ELMSelect or the lender's website to receive the Application Disclosure Statement and to complete the Self-Certification form.
Private Loan Application Process
- Apply online through ELMSelect or the lender's website (you will receive the Application Disclosure Statement and complete the Self-Certification form).
- Once your credit is approved and your private loan promissory note has been received by your lender, the lender will send TWU an electronic certification request.
- If you meet all of the lender's requirements, TWU will review and certify your private loan. The amount you have requested may be reduced as it cannot exceed your Cost of Attendance less other financial aid.
- Private loans are certified with one disbursement per semester.
- Once your lender receives TWU's loan certification, you will be provided an Approval Disclosure Statement by the lender.
- Once you accept the Disclosure terms with the lender, you will receive a Final Disclosure Statement.
- The lender will send the private loan funds to TWU once the right to cancel waiting period has ended (mandatory minimum of 3 days, but most lenders have a 6-8 day right to cancel period).
- Private loan funds will be released to your student account only if all loan eligibility requirements are met at the time of disbursement.
Private Loan Regulations
- Truth in Lending Act (12 CFR Part 226, Regulation Z) approved by the Federal Reserve Board revises the disclosure requirements for private education loans. Private education loans will not include some institutional loans such as tuition payment plans, most short-term institutional loans, or the Emergency Payment option.
- Under Regulation Z of the Truth in Lending Act, a lender offering private loans for post-secondary educational expenses must first provide a disclosure about loan terms and features at the time of application and must disclose information about federal student loan programs that may offer less costly alternatives. If the initial application reaches an approval status, a second loan disclosure statement must be provided to the student at that time. If a student accepts the loan terms provided in the second disclosure statement, a third final disclosure must be provided when the loan is consummated.
- A lender must also provide the student with a minimum 3-day rescission or "Right-to-Cancel" period after the final loan disclosure form is sent to the student. The Right-to-Cancel period means that once UNT has certified your loan and all disclosures are sent, there is a mandatory minimum 3 business day waiting period before the lender may disburse loan funds to the school. Note: If a lender only offers a mailed Final Disclosure (not online), then they must wait 6 days to disburse the loan to the school (3 days for mail time and an additional 3-day rescission or "right-to-cancel" period).
- An additional piece of the private loan regulations requires an applicant to complete a Self-Certification form and return it to the lender before they may disburse the loan to the school. The Self-Certification form may be found on the lender's website. Cost of Attendance information from TWU may be needed for the Self-Certification.

While food may be the way to the heart, music is definitely the pathway to one's soul. The birthplace of enthralling art forms as jazz, the blues, country, soul and rock and roll, the United States of America is a country in thrall to music. So, on your next trip to the United States, follow the music through these 3 destinations.
New Orleans, Louisiana: All Things Jazz
Always a hotbed of music and dance, New Orleans' Creole, African, French and Spanish cultures contributed to the birth of jazz. Visit the New Orleans Jazz Museum for a comprehensive collection of musical artifacts. Stroll along vibrant Frenchmen Street, listening for tunes floating out of venues such as The Spotted Cat Music Club and Three Muses. Preservation Hall and Little Gem Saloon are two more must-visit places for jazz history and top-notch live acts. Visit in late April and early May to attend the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
Memphis, Tennessee: The Birthplace of Rock 'n' Roll
The largest city in Tennessee, Memphis is a must-see destination for lovers of Elvis, music, history and barbecue. This vibrant and colorful destination offers everything from museums and galleries, to theatre and nightlife, and it is super easy to navigate by riverboat, trolley car or on foot. Continue to soak up the music history of Memphis with a visit to the Rock 'n' Soul Museum and the Stax Museum of American Soul Music.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Ain't No Stopping Soul Now
Born and raised in the City of Brotherly Love, preacher Solomon Burke was one of soul's founding fathers, the forerunner to show-stoppers like James Brown – and credited with first describing the music as "soul." If you want to get back to the roots of soul, in a small space, try the South Kitchen & Jazz Parlor. The Fillmore Philadelphia often has soul-inspired performers as does Temple University's Liacouras Center, formerly known as The Apollo of Temple, hosting shows by Alicia Keys and Patti LaBelle. Even the city's arena league football team is called, of course, Philadelphia Soul.

Chicago Blues Festival moving to Millennium Park this year
CHICAGO (AP) - The 34th annual Chicago Blues Festival is getting a new home this year in the city's lakefront Millennium Park after being held in Grant Park.
City organizers said Tuesday that headliners for this year's festival will be Billy Branch and the Sons of the Blues, Gary Clark Jr., William Bell and Ronnie Baker Brooks. A full schedule will be announced this spring. The festival runs from June 9-11. The event is free and runs from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily. Headlines play at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion each night.
This year's festival will features the contributions of rap, rock, pop and hip-hop on blues music. Grammy and Academy Award-winning musician and Chicago native Che "Rhymefest" Smith on opening night will perform a tribute to the influence blues has had on rap and hip-hop.

The original Pebble smartwatch was the first smartwatch to be particularly successful on Kickstarter and commercially. After the Pebble landed on the scene, there were hoards of other smartwatches that launched and sold decently. Fans of the Pebble watch looking for the next big thing from the company will already know about the Pebble Time smartwatch.
About 70,000 people backed the Pebble Time project and those backers are set to begin getting their smartwatches with the shipping process kicking off on May 27. Odds are most backers won't see their watches sitting on doorsteps that day, with so many backers it will take a while to get all units shipped.
The Pebble Time smart watch uses a color e-ink display. Like the original smartwatch, it's one of the few that will work equally as well with Android or iOS smartphones. The original Pebble was one of the only iOS smartwatches for a long time.
By the end of May, Pebble will be sending out invitations to backers to finalize their rewards and shipments. All backers will have tracking numbers by mid-June. The new watch does require a new app that works only for the Pebble Time and Pebble Time Steel watches. An Android version of the app will land in time for the watch to work for Android users.
