Intellectual property rights are the legal rights that protect the creations of human minds. Although intangible, intellectual property can be of immense value. Furthermore, intellectual property is considered to be an important tool for business development, as it can be used by intellectual property owners in setting out business strategies and prohibiting acts of infringement on their intellectual property.
Computer programs, or software, are considered as creations of human minds. Intellectual property relating to software involves many complicated concepts of intellectual property, including copyright, patent, trademark, and trade secrets, all which relate to each other. This article features the following interesting facts which are based on an analysis of actual problems the authors found from their work experiences and through their provision of legal advice to software developers, which people in the software industry should know and which can be used as guidelines for their business operations.
1. Software is protected as a copyrighted literary work without the requirement of registration. However, it can be recorded as a copyrighted work with the Department of Intellectual Property.
Pursuant to the current copyright law, software, or "computer programs," according to the copyright law, is provided with protection equivalent to a literary work. That is, the law focuses on the protection of computer source code written in any language.
Software created by a party from his or her own creativity is automatically protected as a copyrighted work without the necessity of registration. However, to provide owners with proof of ownership, the Department of Intellectual Property has created a recordation system which allows copyright owners to commercially use their copyrighted works in a more effective way. Recordation of copyright of computer programs is not complicated and has no fees. It is recommended that software developers record their software as copyrighted works with the Department of Intellectual Property using important versions of the software which have a high business value. Newly-developed source code can be filed for recordation as a copyrighted work at any time. An important document required for the recordation of software is a copy of the first five pages and the last five pages of the source code, or a CD containing the computer program.
2. Ideas about functions or features of software are not protected under copyright law.
Copyright law does not protect ideas about functions or features of software, as well as functional user interfaces. Because copyright protection does not cover ideas about the function or design of computer programs, you cannot prevent your rival company from having the same software development idea as yours as long as that rival company develops its own source code, as it would not be considered copyright infringement.
3. Software is not currently protected under patent law.
Ideas about processes and functions or features relating to software may be patentable under the patent law. Protection under current Thai patent law does not cover "computer programs," while in some countries, such as the United States, software could be protected under patent law. However, certain hardware or devices programmed with functions that are unique and different from existing ones may be patentable inventions. These will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
4. Source code is protectable under both copyright and trade secret laws.
Normally, after software developers have developed a piece of software to the extent that such software can be commercially used, they would keep the source code confidential and would disclose it to the public only in necessary cases. If the source code, which is a form of trade information, is kept under the appropriate security measures, such source code may be protectable under trade secret law, which imposes serious punishment on those who intentionally disclose, deprive of, or use another party's trade secrets without that party's consent.
5. Ownership of a software copyright is conferred differently on different types of contracts.
According to copyright law, the copyright to software developed by an employee under an employment contract is owned by the employee, unless agreed upon otherwise in writing. By contrast, the copyright to software developed under a specially commissioned contract will belong to the commissioner. However, software developers for other parties and their commissioners may agree that the copyright to the software shall be owned by the developers.
6. Software license agreements which allow disclosure or delivery of source code should contain clear confidentiality provisions.
If a customer requires a software developer to deliver source code to them, it is recommended that the parties make it clear whether the customer wants to own the source code or they merely want to customize or update the software in the future. This is because a software sale agreement or an agreement to assign the copyright to the source code is significantly different from a software license agreement. If the parties agree on a software license agreement under which the source code is required to be disclosed for the purposes of customizing or updating the software, the software developer may include a provision under which the customer is obligated to keep the source code confidential.
7. Software license agreements do not bar copyright owners from granting software licenses to other parties.
As copyright is alienable, licensable, and divisible, there are many kinds of software license agreements, depending on the intention of the parties. For example:
- An exclusive license agreement is a license agreement under which only the licensee has the right to make use of the software, and not even the licensor is allowed to make use of it or grant any additional licenses.
- A sole license agreement is a license agreement under which solely the licensee is allowed to make use of the software. The licensor agrees not to grant any additional licenses but retains the right to make use of the software.
- A nonexclusive license agreement is a license agreement under which the copyright owner may grant licenses to several users simultaneously and the licensor can also make use of the software. General software programs and mobile applications are normally licensed nonexclusively.
A copyright can be licensed to multiple users unless it is expressly prohibited, such as under exclusive or sole license agreements. Therefore, a copyright license agreement must include such clause if the licensee does not want the copyright owner to grant licenses to other parties.
8. Keep in mind that almost all types of software are copyrighted works.
According to the copyright law, a copyright lasts for the rest of the creator's life plus 50 years after the creator's death. If the creator is a legal entity, the copyright lasts for a period of 50 years from the creation of said work. As the widespread commercial use of software began no more than 50 years ago and any software products being used should not have been used for more than 20 years, software products used today are generally copyrighted works.
For open source software, although the source code is disclosed for use by others, it does not mean that the source code can be commercially adapted and distributed immediately. Instead, it depends on the software owner's intention and scope of the license.
After the source code has been disclosed to a customer, the software does not automatically become open source software. The software developer may require the customer to keep the source code confidential.
9. Software brands or logos should be applied for registration as trademarks.
Software developers should create a brand name or trademark for each software version for the purposes of their internal reference, as well as for copyright recordation and licensing. Words or devices used as trademarks must not directly describe the nature or characteristics of the goods or services; otherwise, such trademark will not be registrable, and thus will not be protected under trademark law. Words or devices used as trademarks should be distinctive and must not be identical or similar to other parties' registered trademarks. You may check whether your trademark is identical or similar to a previously registered trademark with the Department of Intellectual Property.
Digital content in the form of a cartoon character is normally protected under copyright law. However, if a cartoon character is used as a trademark, it should be filed for trademark registration for longer protection, as a registered trademark is protected for a period of ten years and may be renewed indefinitely.
10. If your software is, or will be, licensed for use in a foreign country, trademark registration of your software is also essential in that country.
Granting a software copyright license to a foreign company does not require registration. However, many software products bear trademarks that are known among the public. Hence, in addition to a software copyright license, the copyright owner may have to grant a trademark license to its customer as well, particularly in the case of appointment of a distributor in a foreign country.In such case, the trademark used with the software should also be registered in that foreign country for the purposes of licensing and trademark protection in that country.
The above ten facts are basic and fundamental facts about the protection of intellectual property relating to software. Products and services relating to software change rapidly, to the extent that sometimes, existing protection may not completely cover all aspects of new innovations of such software. Therefore, the involved parties, including software developers, government sectors, and intellectual property lawyers, should regularly exchange opinions and keep themselves updated on the related issues so they can set forth measures to prevent or deal with problems in a timely fashion.

One of the things that often prevents right action is a feeling that we can't do anything because the political problems in this world are massive and insurmountable. Yes, there is a certain truth to that. And yet, think of the great effort folks have made and all of the good that has come of that work, e.g, the end of slavery, the end of child labor, the vote for women, desegregation of lunch counters, buses, and schools, the Clean Air Act, etc. The folks who acted did so because they felt they could not do otherwise: right action for right reason even though the world may militate against it. I would say these folks had hope, which, to my mind, is deeper than optimism. Hope keeps going even though it looks like no light is on sight whereas optimism is more easily extinguished in the darkness. The readings and videos for the final touch upon the themes we have considered in class and frame them both in action and hope. There are just five readings and videos so as not to overwhelm you and to give you the time that you need to reflect upon and write about them. After you have read through and viewed the readings and videos, please write a three to five-page reflection. You may first give a brief synopsis of the readings and videos, e.g., what are the most important points made, how did those who were featured act politically, why did they act, etc. After that, please let me know how you saw hope in action in these readings and videos. Finally, please let me know what you are most passionate about politically and how you might act on what deeply concerns you. You don't need to have "the plan" all worked out at this point. I'd just like you to start thinking about how you might engage in the political work of the world at this point. You do not need to use any other resources other than what I have assigned. However, if there is a reading that you have chosen and would like to use, please do so (in addition to, not as a substitution for what I have assigned). Though the exam is not a formal essay, please do cite references properly when needed throughout the reflection. Please let me know if you have any questions. I know that you are pressed for time, so there is no need to go beyond five pages or even three pages, for that matter. The most important thing for me is that you are engaged in the theory, work, and hope of politics and that you are inspired to make a positive difference in this suffering but beautiful world of ours. The exam should be turned in by 6 pm on Wednesday, June 29th. I will need it by early evening so that I can get the grades in on time. Here are the required readings and videos: Vincent Harding: Civility, History, and Hope http://www.onbeing.org/program/vincent-harding-in-memoriam-civility-history-and-hope/transcript/6325 Bill Moyers and Martha Nussbaum: Applying the Lesson of Ancient Greece http://billmoyers.com/content/martha-nussbaum/ (transcript) http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/archives/nussbaumwoi_flash.html (video) Democracy Now Earth Day Special: A Fierce Green Fire http://www.democracynow.org/2014/4/22/earth_day_special_fierce_green_fire Selections from Rebecca Solnit's book, Hope in Dark Times (scroll down) http://blogs.evergreen.edu/mclainj/files/2015/08/SolnitSelections.pdf Remembering Daniel Berrigan, S.J.

Cartoon Illustration & Digital Painting
Cartoon Illustrations
Since having a drawing tablet, I have fell in love with comic / cartoon illustrations. I use a photo as reference then I custom draw the image to turn it into a cartoon. These comic / cartoon illustrations have been used from everything from birthday cards, mixtape covers, profile pictures, logos and more!
With a pricing starting at from £40 ($60 approx), you can have your very own custom comic / cartoon illustration at a very low price.
Digital Paintings
Since developing the cartoons, I have move onto the painting side of things, and bring a real life like look to the image. Below you can see some examples of this and judge for yourself, and see why they are growing so popular. Clients have even had these printed onto a canvas to give their home a unique, one of a kind bit of art on their wall.
With a pricing starting at from £50, you can have your very own digital painting at a very low price.

All things calm, all things comforting. Natural elements and so cosy. The first photos are of a charming bed and breakfast ... yes please. A stay here would be just the perfect weekend away. Or a cool, calm stylish apartment, minimal but everything you'd need. Just a few of the interiors by Dutch stylist and interior designer Wilma Custers. Don't miss her styling portfolio. Looks of lovely rooms (unfortunately not big enough to do justice here).

If you've not heard of target date mutual funds you probably do not have a 401(k) or you are in the early stages of the retirement planning process. No matter your reason for landing on this article, you came to the right place to find out if these retirement funds are a good choice for you and to learn how to narrow down your choices.

Are Target Date Retirement Funds a Good Fit for You?

Perhaps the greatest advantage of target date retirement funds is simplicity. By setting an appropriate asset allocation for a stated retirement date, and by slowly reducing stocks and increasing bonds over time, the target date retirement fund, in theory, does all of the asset allocation and investment selection for you. But the key phrase in this sentence is "in theory."

This is because there really is no "one-size-fits-all" portfolio structure. With many variables to consider, such as life expectancy, risk tolerance, and alternative or supportive investment savings accounts, the manager of any given target date retirement fund cannot know if the asset allocation and investment selection is, in fact, a prudent mix for any given investor. The fund manager can only use generalities and averages, which may or may not be appropriate for some people.

Understandably, many investors do not have the desire or the time to learn how to build a portfolio of mutual funds for retirement. Many investors are also confused about how to transition their asset allocation over time so that it is ready for retirement as the target date gets closer.

For example, conventional wisdom in the 20th century was that your bond allocation is your age and stocks are the remainder. Therefore, if you are 55 years old, you would allocate 55% to bonds and 45% to stocks. However, we are in the 21st century and now that life expectancies have risen to the mid-70's, a retiree needs to be careful not to get too conservative, too early.

If not for any other reason, the most ideal candidate for target date retirement funds is the person who has most or all of their retirement savings in one account, such as a 401(k) or IRA, and a person who does not have the desire, knowledge or time to learn about portfolio structure and strategies.

The Best Target Date Retirement Funds

The typical individual using target date retirement funds probably has no interest in researching the hundreds of choices available to investors today. Similar to selecting other mutual funds, the best target date funds will be those with a combination of below average expense ratios, moderate risk/reward profiles, broadly-diversified portfolios and average to above-average long-term performance. It is also wise to consider only target date funds that have at least 5-year performance records.

With that said, I give you the mutual fund families offering the best target date retirement funds that pass my selection criteria:

 Vanguard Investments: The king of low-cost index funds is a natural choice for the best target date mutual fund family. Not only has Vanguard been offering their target retirement funds for more than 10 years, they use their index funds as underlying holdings for each portfolio. Therefore investors using Vanguard target funds are assured at least "average" returns with broadly-diversified portfolios.

 Fidelity Investments: Similar to Vanguard, Fidelity has a solid selection of low-cost mutual funds and their Freedom Funds uphold that tradition. Fidelity has been offering target date retirement funds longer than most other mutual fund companies and their long track record illustrates their skill in building low-cost, broadly-diversified portfolios.

There are several other mutual fund families that offer target date retirement funds. An honorable mention here is T.Rowe Price Mutual Funds. They didn't make my cut because their portfolios tend to have higher concentrations of stocks in their allocations. This typically makes for greater performance, which can be a prudent goal in the early years of retirement saving, but the higher relative risk (and lower returns in down markets) may be too volatile for some investors with lower risk tolerance.

Before the kids head back to school, they really wanted to get to out and go swimming. We used to go all the time when we were down the hill but since moving to the mountains and having Chloe, it's been a lot harder to do.
But I've been dying to try out my new baby wrap. It's a mesh wrap that is made for the water. I'm thinking it will be great in Mexico too! I decided to pack the kids up and head down to Arvada to Duncan and visit my friends at the Y. They were looking forward to meeting baby Chloe!
Three kids by myself in the pool was a bit stressful but it was worth the smiles. I think we stayed at least 3 hours!

Social networks are about who you know. Our matrix -- inspired in and beginning with the primordial chuleiros of Bahia (Brazil's analogues to delta bluesmen) -- is about who you DON'T know (and if you would care to be a part of this matrix and wish to be discoverable thereby, about who around the world can by this means discover you).
Worldlines on mediapages can be followed forwards and backwards through people and what they create to other magnificent but perhaps completely unknown artists we'd never otherwise be able to find.
We've worked here in Salvador with U.S. National Public Radio, the BBC (twice!), France Inter, Lonely Planet Magazine...and we'd love to show you around too! Much more information here!
In Rio de Janeiro, in the house of a Bahia-born ialorixá (priestess) who had arrived in Rio as a young woman (part of the exodus of emigrating Bahians leaving for the capital in search of work around the time of Brazil's abolishment of slavery), the music (in the front part of the house anyway, more on out back in a bit) was...
...So everybody has heard of killer bees, right? The Africanized version of European honeybees? The music in the salon of Tia Ciata's house was an Africanized version of the music from which it had descended (polkas, waltzes, mazurcas) after first being played some 40 years earlier for the monied classes by musicians from Brazil's darker classes. The Brazilians took the European rhythms' metronomicity and made it -- subtly but unmistakably -- breathe, giving it ginga (sway), and in doing so freed the music to swoop, hover, dive and soar. Strange to say, this music, called choro -- or "cry" -- is almost unknown outside of Brazil, as is its killer (in oh-so-gentlemanly a way) king, Pixinguinha.
Os Oito Batutas, The Eight Batons, although "batuta" had a second, slang, meaning, rendering "The Eight Cool Guys"; Pixinguinha is on the far left.
→ No, that is not Hogwarts' music professor below! But it IS a sorcerer...Hermeto Pascoal, born in Eye of the Water (Olha d'Água) and raised in Lagoon of the Canoe (Lagoa da Canoa).
Q: Why do American jazz musicians who want to play Brazilian music always go for "bossa nova", which developed in the late '50s?
A: They seem to be unaware of the universe of Brazilian music created in the preceding century, as if Brazilians wanting to go deep American were to not be aware of Louis Armstrong, George Gershwin, Duke Ellington...
Listen to Hermeto play Pixinguinha's "Rosa"
These guys weren't cool for nothing. Like the American jazz players whose style followed (and would later come to influence) their own, they were masters of their instruments. This was and continues to be a dominating element in choro, as beautifully illustrated in an offhand clip of Raphael Rabello at a friend's place playing Tico Tico na Fubá (composed by Zequinha de Abreu in 1917)...
Guitar god, Brazilian style
In 1989 Raphael severely fractured his right arm in an automobile accident and was forced to undergo a number of surgeries. During this period he received blood contaminated with AIDS, which would take his life in 1995. He left behind a number of consummate recordings.
Here's the trailer to Mika Kaurismäki's 2005 choro documentary, Brasileirinho, featuring a number of currently active players...
So Brazil had elegant men in tuxes playing music that required the finesse of classical instrumentalists and the improvisational prowess of jazz musicians, and had/has hotfingered young (and not so young) players working in this erudite idiom in our time...but what about the samba, you may be thinking? The uplifting energy, the sheer noisy joy of it all? Well, below you'll hear a samba in a style incipiant to partido alto, a style popular right up to this day (a notable characteristic of Brazil is that Brazilians tend in most instances to not discard their music; it accretes rather, and styles which would analogously be played as period music in the United States, ragtime for example, are played here as if they've simply never gone away, which they haven't!).
Q: Who's João da Baiana?
A: He introduced the pandeiro into choro, and popularized it in samba carioca (samba in Rio).
Q: What's a "pandeiro"?
A: It's what's in English called a "tambourine" and is generally, in the United States (and with the exception of people like Motown Funk Brother Jack Ashord) the instrument handed over to whoever can't play so they won't feel left out. In the hands of Brazilian masters it's an amazing and defining instrument which has come to symbolize Brazil's national music, samba.
The man seated to the right in the photo of the men in tuxes at the top of the page (Os Oito Batutas) is Ernesto Joaquim Maria dos Santos, better known to his friends and to history as Donga. Donga participated in both the composition and performance of the first ever carnival samba recorded (and referred to as such) in Brazil, Pelo Telephone (By Telephone).
Where was Pelo Telephone (nowadays spelled, in keeping with official changes in Portuguese orthography, Pelo Telefone) written? Right! At Tia Ciata's house! It was sung by Bahiano (Manuel Pedro dos Santos), so called because he was from Santo Amaro, Bahia, and it was the big hit of Carnaval 1917. And what was by telephone? Rio's chief of police had (apparently) let it be known to the bicheiros running the jogo de bicho (animal games), a common gambling game (still existent and highly involved in financing Rio's Carnival schools), that they'd be advised by telephone when there was about to be a raid, and this had become common knowledge. The song's original lyrics dealt with this humorously, and were changed in the recorded version.
Why would such a samba come to be written in Tia Ciata's house? Tia Ciata, whose real name was Hilária Batista de Almeida (Brazilians love nicknames), was born in Santo Amaro, Bahia in 1854. She emigrated to Rio in 1876 at 22 years of age, settling close to Praça Onze, a public square in an area called Cidade Nova (New City), this area aptly nicknamed by one its illustrious residents, sambista and painter Heitor dos Prazeres, as Pequena África (Little Africa).
Heitor dos Prazeres' Roda de Samba
Most of the residents of Pequena África were, if not personally, then moving back a generation or two, of Bahian origin (Donga's mother and father, for example, were born in Bahia), and the Bahian movement to Rio was accompanied by their religion (candomblé) and its ceremonies. Now, by this time the dominant strand in this religion had become that of the last ethnic group (broadly speaking) to be taken to Brazil, that of the Yorubas. Yaô (sung by João da Baiana, whose mother -- as indicated by his nickname -- was from Bahia) is named for the title given to an initiate into candomblé Ketu, which is the candomblé of the Yorubas.
The song is about a festa of female yaôs, including mentions in the lyrics of Ketu orixás (deities) Ogum, Oxalá, Yemanjá, Oxossi, Nanã Buruku, and Xangô. But the drumming, singing and dancing which came after the candomblé ceremonies in both Bahia and Rio -- and by extension in the quintal (backyard, so to speak) of Tia Ciata's house -- was not that of the Yorubas, it was that of the the first ethnic group to be forcibly brought to Brazil, principally to Bahia, the Bantus. And in their candomblé ceremonies, a candomblé referred to as candomblé angola (in obvious reference to the territory of the practitioners' origins), the rhythms were built around what in secular settings would come to be called...that's right!...samba!
From this point on samba in Rio de Janeiro was on its own path. It would flower and fluoresce in an urban culture, climb the morros (hills) of Rio along with the poor who had nowhere else to build their barracos (shacks), it would become the music of radio, music written by men of the morros and sung by radio stars who earned vastly more, and it would become the music of a carnival which would eventually become established at Praça Onze and which nowadays parades inside a vast Sambódromo located where Praça Onze once stood, as did the house of Tia Ciata.
João da Baiana. His brothers and sisters were all born in Bahia. He, the youngest, was born in Rio de Janeiro.
Sinhô, the King of Samba (O Rei do Samba)
Before leaving Tia Ciata's house and its enormously influential place in the history of Brazilian music behind, another assiduous participant in the rodas de samba there was José Barbosa da Silva, better known then and now as Sinhô, o Rei do Samba. Before the age of radio stars had really kicked in (due to a number of factors including a change from broadcasting classical music to popular, the introduction of new microphones allowing more nuanced singing, and the wider proliferation of radio receivers), Sinhô and his music were everywhere. This was most definitely samba (Sinhô worked in other, related musical idioms as well), played within samba's metrical structure(s), but to uninitiated listeners it might not sound all that much like samba, being sometimes referred to as samba amaxixado.
A Maxixe: Dance, Music, Person?
"Amaxixado" comes from the word maxixe, which referred first to a dance and then to the music played to accompany that dance. Actually, a maxixe is a vegetable common enough in Brazilian kitchens, but how a dance came to be named for a vegetable is a mystery. One version is that the dance's inventor was somebody nicknamed Maxixe; another is that the dance's lowly stature (it was a couples' dance wherein the man stepped well in between the woman's legs) was being metaphorically paired to the fact that maxixes grow along vines on the ground (I doubt this version, at least the first sounds plausible). But whatever the case the music combined elements of lundus and polkas, lundu being a shortening of calundu, calundu being a religious celebration which bequeathed a dance (lundu) in secular settings, which begat a style of music.
Anyway, maxixe was played without percussion instruments, so pretty much any samba played likewise either received the appelation amaxixado, or was simply referred to as maxixe.
Bide (left) and Marçal (right) were fundamental in the development of Rio's samba
Bide invented an instrument commonly used in samba now, the surdo (a big bass drum; "surdo" means "deaf"), making the first one from a large can which began life as a container for butter, and the sambas in Marçal's house included Francisco Alves and Orlando Silva, two golden-throated singers of Brazil's golden age of radio.
Nelson Sargento, of Mangueira
Q: Why is Nelson Sargento sitting before a pink and green flag?
A: Pink and green are the colors of the Mangueira samba school, colors chosen by Cartola. Cartola suffered repeated criticism that the colors didn't go together well, that they clashed, and he would answer thusly: "Pink is for love, and green is for hope, and how is it that love and hope do not go together well?" A more obvious answer would have been that nobody ever complained about pink mangos hanging amongst the greenery of the mangueiras (mango trees) on the hill where Mangueira was located, but then Cartola was never an obvious person.
Cartola, a man (nick)named for a hat, is considered by many to be the apotheosis of samba. In 1949 the new president of the Mangueira samba school chose a professor of music to choose Mangueira's samba enredo (Carnival samba) for that year.
Nelson Sargento comments: "O professor escolheu o meu samba. Mas ele explicou: pela beleza, pela perfeição, por tudo, ele daria 10 para o do Cartola, e 6 para o meu. Agora, para o desfile, o meu era mais fácil, era melhor. O do Cartola, em terrmos de hoje (1949), não era comercial. ... A música dele era muito elaborada, a linha melódica muito difícil."
"The professor chose my samba. But he explained that for beauty, for perfection, for everything, he'd give a 10 to Cartola's composition and a 6 to mine. But for the parade, mine was easier, it was better. Cartola's, in today's terms (1949), wasn't commercial. ... His music was elaborate, the melody line difficult."
But let's back up for a moment, to the other golden-age-of-radio singer who frequented Marçal's house, Francisco Alves. Sr. Alves was stopped in the street one day by two penniless young men and asked for money. He responded that he would honor their request if they would each compose a samba for him, right there and then, on the spot. So right there and then he received from one of the young men Qual Foi o Mal que Eu Te Fiz? (How Did I Wrong You?), which he recorded in 1932. From the other he received Estamos Esperando (We're Waiting), which he recorded, together with Mario Reis, also in 1932.
As one might guess, these weren't just any two penniless bums, they happened to be two empty-pocketed young geniuses, Cartola and his buddy Noel Rosa.
Noel Rosa was a fragile young man made more fragile by his inability to eat solid food, result of a botched wrenching by forceps during a difficult birth, breaking his jaw before he'd even parted with his mother's womb (coincidentally and somewhat amazingly, the physician attending Noel's birth would -- sixteen years later -- attend the birth of another future legend, Antonio Carlos Jobim; the doctor who wielded the infamous forceps however was a colleague who'd been called in to assist). Noel was operated on twice as a child and his mother was told that his condition would improve with time, but it only worsened, imprinting upon the young man (dead at 27) an unlikely and unmistakable profile beloved by the masses of his time and by generations of samba afficionados thereafter.
Noel Rosa, bamba
Noel's Com Que Roupa? ("With What Clothes?") was THE smash hit of Carnival 1931, its inspiration coming when Noel's mother, not wanting her son to risk his health by going out to a samba with his friends, hid his clothes. His galera (group of friends) arrived, calling up for him to come out, only to see Noel lean out the window and reply "With what clothes?" (history doesn't record whether he ever eventually got to the samba or not). With what clothes? become the catch-phrase of the hour in the mouths of a people deeply devoted to sociability while at the same time deeply mired in poverty.
With the '30s Brazil entered the radio age in earnest, broadcasting moving from erudite music to popular, and at this point there was a fork in the road: The songs were written drawing upon a vast heritage of forms and rhythms played and sung and danced to wherever people gathered for pretty much anything other than church: the botecos (bars), the quadros (yards) of the samba schools, the quintals (backyards). But they were sung by golden-throats in an evolving style closely matching what was popular in the United States at the time, and for this the aural record is written almost exclusively in these beautiful "radio" voices.

Random Conversation[CD]
~ The Chair Project
Product Notes
The unique approach of vocals over electric bass only. Beatles-esque harmonies. One song seamlessly flowing into the next one throughout the whole record. Vocal stylings (and songwriting influences) ranging from Arthur Lee (of Love) to Robin Zander (of Cheap Trick) to Corey Glover (of Living Colour) to Alex Chilton and Chris Bell (of Big Star) to King's X to Prince to Elliot Smith to Joni Mitchell and many many more. The Chair Project is mainly just one person: Jeff Couch (AKA Chairman) of DRATS!!!, the eccentric art-punk sextet from Portland, Oregon. As mentioned above, Chairman often utilizes the approach of vocals over electric bass only (listen to tracks such as 'Straight Commission' and 'Almost Silence'). And those vocals go from growling to falsetto - sometimes in the same song - but it's always melodic. Lots of moods here for sure - this is a record that takes you through a few slices of life and some different emotions. The record was made in Portland, and again it is called 'Random Conversation.' So the album gets it's title from the lyrics of the song 'Hollywood': Hollywood, not the one we know in California cars honk at you on this Sandy road porno store, guaranteed to satisfy your fantasy man is at the door having a smoke medical building open 'round the clock you look inside then go the sidewalk said 'suck me' grocery store parking lot a stranger shares a little of his soul a random conversation... Stripped down and lo-fi, this is a personal record with real diversity in both mood AND musical style.

Ladies and gentlemen last night my very picky eater son said these exact words after eating this meal, "Thanks for the fantastic meal Mom." What?! That has never ever happened. Ha ha Usually if a meal isn't chicken nuggets or Pizza there's meal time drama and complaining at my house. Spaghetti and meatballs is one meal I can count on the kids and husband loving and here is a great recipe for Parmesan turkey meatballs. I double the batch and keep some in the freezer and on busy weekday nights I can throw them in the slow cooker with spaghetti sauce and have dinner ready when we get home from soccer practice!
Perfect Parmesan Meatballs by Lina Darnell
one pound ground turkey, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup finely diced onion, two tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs, one egg, one teaspoon dried Italian herbs, one teaspoon garlic powder, half teaspoon red pepper flakes, Salt & Pepper to taste.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl combine and mix all ingredients. I like to use a potato smasher tool to mix these. Roll one inch balls and place on a baking sheet about 1/2 inch apart. Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly brown and cooked..
Combine with your favorite sauce and spaghetti for a wonderful meal! When I can find it on sale at my grocery store, I like to stock up on this brand of gluten free quinoa pasta. It is so great tasting, gluten free, and organic.

What I'm Reading This Week:
Body & Soul: Reclaiming the Heidelberg Catechism: I have been interested in creeds and catechisms for a bit of time now, but I never read a book which brings the Heidelberg catechism to life so well as this book. It is compelling to read and very interesting. I love the explanations and elaborations the author gives. Its a great book for anyone who would like a deeper understanding of their Christian faith without getting bogged down in too much jargon. Great read.
The Necessity of Strangers: The Intriguing Truth About Insight, Innovation, and Success: I continue to gain some great application from this book as a church leader. I especially love this chart found on page which summarizes how we so often go about trying to solve problems in the church. Certainly worth a read!
Fun Loving You: Enjoying Your Marriage in the Midst of the Grind: Finished this book this week and it's certainly more on the practical side than the profound, but sometimes that's just what people need. You can catch my full review on Monday.
The Power of Full Engagement: Managing Energy, Not Time, is the Key to High Performance and Personal Renewal: As I was reading the intro in this book, I wanted to underline almost every word… but I couldn't since it was a library book. It certainly captures how I feel most of the time. As a home day care provider, homeschooling mom, part-time children's ministry director, and hopeful freelance writer — I often feel like I'm drowning in things to do. However, when I really sit down and look at my schedule, it's not time that's my problem, but energy… especially mental energy. Unfortunately, this one was due back at the library and someone has a hold on it, so I'll have to wait a few weeks to finish it.
Teaching Kindergarten: A Developmentally Appropriate Approach: My newly turned four year old daughter is showing a lot of interest in academic learning, but I have to admit, I am completely lost when it comes to the whole homeschooling thing. I was hoping this would be a little more practical, but it's more about the history of kindergarten as well as setting up a classroom schedule. Interesting, but not exactly what I was looking for.
Celebration Games: Physical Activities for Every Month: I picked this up, hoping to find some good indoor games for Children's Ministry, but it was pretty slim pickings. I found about 10 in the whole book that I think might work. Hoping to share those with you all later in the month!
Toddler Play (Gymboree): I got this for the kids in the home day care, but it would be a TERRIFIC resource to put in the church nursery. It has simple games, easy to implement, but entertaining for both little ones and adults. I know that sometimes boredom is the worst part about serving in nursery, and many nursery volunteers would be happy to have a few suggestions (and great illustrations) nearby. There are some super fun fingerplays and chants I'm planning on using with my own kids too.
Sew Many Bags, Sew Little Time: Another sewing book that I don't really have time (or is it energy?) to do anything with. Still, I love looking through the pictures and imagining what I can make someday when I have more talent. 🙂
What the Kids Are Reading This Week:
Cute story and a great book to play "spot the letter" with.
I thought this book would be about shapes, but it's more about the little square getting ripped up and transforming into other things (river, bridge, mountains). I like the book and it would be easy to pair an art project with it.
My kids LOVE this book. It's cute story about accepting others and has some totally crazy and unpredictable elements which they find hilarious.

Hey. I know it's been a while since I rapped at ya. But I've been keeping busy. Here's a few new projects I have out there.
I illustrated a story (written by Brendan) about "Prisoner of Jazz" Boris Rose for Brendan Burford's new Syncopated anthology. Boris was an intriguing real life character who recorded live jazz off the radio in a time when most of these performances would have been otherwise completely lost to the ages.
I colored the cover and several interior bits of art in the forthcoming Art of Tony Millionaire coffee table type art book. I've been working with Tony for a few years now, and this book has tons of art and anecdotes that I'd never seen or heard of. Entertaining and Educational!
I am the colorist for the new Ricardo Delgato 4 part series "Age of Reptiles: The Journey". You may have seen Ricardo's previous Age of Reptiles series in the 90's, and he's stepped his game up even more this time. So many dinosaurs.

I have had students of many ages over the past few years and only a handful have not enjoyed this series. I personally love it. They are well-written and engaging for kids and I love the use of their text and photos.
In the series, the title character is a talking mouse who lives in New Mouse City on Mouse Island. A best-selling author, Geronimo Stilton works as a journalist and editor for the fictional newspaper The Rodent's Gazette. He has a younger sister named Thea Stilton, a cousin named Trap Stilton and a favorite little nephew, nine-year-old Benjamin Stilton. Geronimo is a nervous, mild-mannered mouse who would like nothing etter than to live a quiet life, but he keeps getting involved in far-away adventures with Thea,Trap and Benjamin, and sometimes Aunt Sweetfur. The books are written as though they are autobiographical adventure stories.
My kids have read many of the Geronimo Stilton books. Interesting and unique books full of colourful graphics and mysterious adventures. Your children will enjoy following the clues to figure out what has happened. Highly collectible books that gives your child the opportunity to embark on a fascinating new adventure that will be riveting.

Craft brewers vs. big beer
by Thomas Mills, Politics NC, April 20, 2017.
Back during World War II, the US Army held military exercises called maneuvers in Anson County. My grandfather had a peach farm in Lilesville and also held the franchise for several brands of beer. The Army contracted with him to turn one of his packhouses into a PX. In exchange, the Army would only sell my grandfather's beer.
That arrangement made my grandfather a lot of money, but didn't sit well with a lot of beer distributors from neighboring counties. One of those distributors sent a young ambitious salesman named Charles "Chink" Smithson to try to get their beer into the Lilesville PX. Chink was told that he needed to see Fred Mills and he could find him at a country store down the road from the packhouse every afternoon.
So, Chink went down to the store and said he was looking for Fred Mills. The owner pointed to the back of the store to a man sitting on a feed sack with a group of other men. Chink, who was about 5'7", walked up to my grandfather and said, "I want to put my beer in that PX." My grandfather, who stood about 6'4", got up and told Chink with a menacing growl, "I don't think we need your beer in my packhouse and I don't think we need you in Anson County anymore."
On a side note, about fifteen years later, Chink was informed that his niece, Penny Martin, was marrying a man from Anson County named Fetzer Mills. He responded, "Not if that boy's any kin Fred Mills, she's not." Somehow, he got passed it.
A similar fight just played out in the General Assembly this week. Craft beer brewers, who make up a rapidly growing industry in the state, wanted to change a law that requires them to contract with a distributor after they brew more than 25,000 barrels of beer. The craft beer makers wanted to raise the limit to 200,000 barrels. The distributors did not.
Beer distributors in North Carolina have long been a political force in politics. They're veterans of numerous fights to expand access in a state that not that long ago was largely dry. Their lobbying arm, the Beer and Wine Wholesalers Association, is run by Tim Kent who's been around the legislature working for business advocacy groups for more than 25 years.
Craft brewers believed they had a good case and a good chance. They're a growing enterprise in North Carolina, creating jobs and bringing revenue, and the current legislators claim to be free-market conservatives. Besides, their demands, raising the cap from 25,000 barrels to 200,000, didn't seem that outrageous.
That's not how the legislature works. Legislators standing up for the beer distributors used a series of maneuvers to sink the bill before it even got a hearing. "Call me naive but I believed we would be given a fair chance," said one brewer. Sorry, but that's naive.
That old saying about bringing a knife to gun fight comes to mind. The distributors are veterans of numerous fights. They have long and deep relationships with legislators. They also spread around a ton of campaign cash to protect their economic interests. They aren't going to give up their place in the economic food chain lightly.
The craft brewers and other emerging industries should take this experience as a lesson. Politics are driven by money, votes and relationships more than ideological principles. The Republican legislators are only the party of free-markets and less regulation when it suits their interests. Nothing's ever been fair in the legislature. And that free-market is often rigged to prevent competition as much as to promote it. Just ask Chink Smithson about that one.

Kitespot Review: Dakhla, Western SaharaAfrica, Dakhla Challenge, Kitesurfing, Reviews, Western Sahara — By Kelly on June 27, 2012 1:34 PM
Dakhla is located in Western Sahara, a disputed territory claimed by Morocco. The main kitespot is located about 30km north of Dakhla city pretty much in the middle of the Sahara. I kited here in late April and would guess that we had 20-25 knots every day. We rode comfortably on a 6m Cabrinha Switchblade and were sometimes overpowered on the 8m. There were a few 5m kites on the water as well. We were surprised that we needed to wear long wetsuits (I wore a 4/3) as the wind and water could be quite chilly but should warm up later in summer.
- consistent strong side shore wind
- large flat lagoon great for freestyle and beginners
- shallow spots
- cool to kite in water surrounded by the Sahara desert
- coastal wave riding spot 5 minutes drive from lagoon
- cool accommodations convenient to kite spot
- difficult to get to (long transport from most countries)
- water can be quite choppy in strong winds
- very crowded in the spots closest to accommodations, best to head downwind for more space but water gets choppier outside of lagoon
- accommodations options are limited and book out way in advance
- visited predominately by the French making communicating challenging if you don't speak their language
During my visit the French dominated the water with a lone American and Swiss fighting for space.
The wind generally blows from the northeast, and averages around 15 to 25 knots, which is said to increase during the summer months of July and August. Recommended kite sizes for the average rider would be 6m, 8m and 12m. Kite equipment rental is available.
The temperature in Dakhla ranges from 18 to 26C and drops significantly at night. I wore a 4/3 wetsuit in April but no wet suit is needed in the summer.
The wind blows consistently all year so decide the best time to visit based on your temperature preference. April felt too cold for me and I think I would enjoy more in July or August.
From Europe: You can do what we did and drive (Dakhla Challenge 4×4 adventure highly recommended!). From Tarifa, Spain it is about 2100 km away, you can do the drive in four-five days if you boogie down. Flying to Dakhla is also an option but will require an inconvenient overnight stopover in either Casablanca or Marrakesh. Royal Air Maroc offers flights several days a week (it varies) with a stopover in Casablanca and a maximum allowed baggage weight of 30kg.
I would highly advise booking in advance. By the seat of my skirt rarely books ahead and regretted not doing so upon arriving in Dakhla to discover that all of the accommodations near the kitespot had been booked for months. There is a free camping spot very close to the kitespot; however, there are no facilities available there.
We spent two nights in Dakhla city driving to the spot each day before we got lucky and scored a Bedouin tent at Kite1Max that came available thanks to a cancellation. We really enjoyed our stay at Kite1Max!
*Kite1Max – Bedouin camp, we stayed here for 36 Euro per person per night. This included breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Bungalows are currently under construction. *RECOMMENDED
The tent camp is build along with the Oriental Saharaoui tradition, very basic but very cool! The only downside is no hot water; however, the owner plans to have hot water running this year. I often go without hot showers during my travels, but in the desert the temperature drops quickly as the sun goes down and the wind is quite chilling. I was usually freezing when I peeled off my long wetsuit and the last thing I wanted was a cold shower! Inside our tent it was warm and our mattress and provided bedding was very comfortable.
The best part about staying at Kite1Max is the food! Laetitia is an outstanding cook and I was constantly amazed by the tajine dishes she prepared daily. Breakfast was basic with crepes and bread but lunch and dinner was always a delicious three course meal served family style. I would go back to Dakhla just to have Laetitia cook for me again!
Ocean Vagabond – 60 Euro per person/per day all meals included.
Very nice new bungalows located directly on the kiting beach with electricity, hot water, and WI-FI (slow).
Dakhla Attitude – Also very nice bungalows that rent for 60 Euro per person/per day all meals included. Bedouin tents available too, I am not sure how much these rent for.
Nomads – Bedouin camp, 35 Euro per person/per day, all meals included.
Kite Xperience – Bedouin camp, 35 Euro per person/per day, all meals included.

Love your blog! We are heading to Dakhla at the end of the month to stay at Ocean Vagabond and learn to kite surf with http://www.kitemorocco.com. Am a little apprehensive but very excited! Came across your site while having a small worry about what clothes to take with me! You'll be pleased to know we're flying (not as adventurous as you) but I'm kind of jealous not to be so brave as you guys! (We live in Spain and are completely convinced that our car would break down as it frequently does!). Thanks for the insight!
I live in San Francisco, and am planning a trip to Tarifa, Spain, and trying to venture out to Dakhala to kitesurf in the desert:)
Looks like you have done this trip. Can you share with me how you got down there, which airport you used, and any advice from your trip you could share with me?
One thing I am worried about is luggages… Prior to going to Dakhala, I plan to travel in Spain. I was thinking of renting kite gears in Tarifa, so that I wouldn't have to carry the gears with me the whole time I am travelling.
Would I be able to rent gears in Dakhala…?
Let me know!
Nice post about Kitesurfing in Dakhla, thanks to share this wonderful post. I am kitesurding instructor in South Florida and teaching kitesurfing/kiteboarding lessons.

BBB - A+ Rating - the best there is
An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
Anglo-Saxon names to come from Britain, Norworthy is one of the most ancient. The name is a result of the original family having lived in or near "the north wood," as in the northernmost wood within a particular jurisdiction; or in one of the several places named Norwood or Northwood found throughout England.
Norworthy Early Origins
Oxfordshire where the name was derived from the words "north" + "wood." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4) Some of the family were found in the parish of Sittingbourne in Kent where: "It is an incident worthy of notice in the ancient history of this town, that Henry V. was entertained at the Red Lion here, by John Northwood, a gentleman resident in the vicinity, at the expense of nine shillings and ninepence." [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print.
Norworthy Spelling Variations
Norworthy Spelling Variations
The first dictionaries that appeared in the last few hundred years did much to standardize the English language. Before that time, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. The language was changing, incorporating pieces of other languages, and the spelling of names changed with it. Norworthy has been spelled many different ways, including Norwood, Northwood, Norwold, Narwold and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Norworthys to arrive in North America: Francis Norwood, who arrived in Boston in 1630; Richard Norwood settled in Virginia in 1643; Mary Norwood settled in Montserrat in 1685; Richard Norwood settled in Georgia in 1733..
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Sub cruce vinces
Motto Translation: Under the cross, we shall conquer.

Ondo State Government has launched a semi-automated chemical analyser provided for early detection of diabetes in pregnant women and its prevention in the state.
The state's Health Commissioner, Dr. Dayo Adeyanju at a meeting with public health coordinators in the state, disclosed that the state will not relent in her efforts to provide qualitative health services for the people.
He said the state is one of the few states in the Federation with semi automated chemical analyser machines and that eight facilities will be used as pilot centres, while plans are ongoing to scale up the other centres.
Commenting on the analyser, the commissioner said it will help the health sector in the early detection of diabetes in pregnancy, thereby giving boost to the treatment of diabetes in pregnancy as well as further strengthening of the medical services provided by the state toits citizens.
Meanwhile, the state government has directed all Heads of Hospitals and Health centres in the state to immediately commence the use of Residency Card, popularly known as "kaadi Igbeayo" in their various hospitals and health centres.
The state's Commissioner for Information, Mr. Kayode Akinmade while speaking with newsmen, said the directive was handed over to Public Health coordinators through the Commissioner for Health at a meeting held at the Mother and child Hospital ,Akure.
Giving details of the meeting with the Public Health Coordinators, Adeyanju , who together with his information counterpart, briefed the media said the steps taken by government was not aimed at making money from the people of the state as it has been discovered that many of the people benefiting from the free medical services provided by the government are none indigenes.
He said resident with the card, especially pregnant women and children from age one to five years received uninterrupted free medical services, while those without the card will be made to pay some stipends for medical services.

Who should start and who will start are obviously two different things, but this is a World Soccer Source proposal for a 2014 World Cup Starting XI for the United States Men's National Team.
This Starting XI attempts to propose an American line-up that is based on a Front Six compressed of proven players with a proven goalkeeper – but with a totally new Back Four.
There are no guarantees in soccer, and the 2014 World Cup won't be a tournament where the United States can attempt to control the outcome by just fielding a Starting XI that resembles the line-ups seen in World Cup qualifying.
Jürgen Klinsmann won't field this Starting XI, but it is an attempt to support a set-up that can strengthen the United States' defense with an inexperienced Back Four while using a logical and balanced Front Six made up of: Geoff Cameron, Michael Bradley; Landon Donovan, Benny Feilhaber, Clint Dempsey; Juan Agudelo.
Here is World Soccer Source's 2014 World Cup USMNT XI Proposal:
GOALKEEPER: Tim HOWARD (Everton)
Tim Howard and Brad Guzan are probably goalkeeping equals, but Howard has made so many seemingly impossible saves over the years for the United States that Howard should be the default U.S. keeper.
RIGHT BACK: DeAndre YEDLIN (Seattle Sounders)
DeAndre Yedlin is a bit of a gamble, but Yedlin is a very exciting prospect who played a full 2013 MLS season where he impressed almost everyone following MLS.
A two-way right back with the youth of Yedlin just might be the United States' best option at right back in the 2014 World Cup. Yedlin is a better defender than he gets credit for, and his ability to tackle, keep pace with attackers, and bomb up the sideline in the attack is something the United States needs. The young right back has the technical ability to dribble and pass out of trouble, and it's time for the United States to let Steve Cherundolo's successor take the reins to avoid the risk of using a now injury prone Cherundolo.
CENTER BACK: Andrew FARRELL (New England Revolution)
Andrew Farrell is a better defender than DeAndre Yedlin while being just as fast and about as technically-skilled, but playing Farrell at his natural center back spot allows Farrell to help cover for Yedlin on the right side of the defense. In a World Cup with so many attacking threats, having a technical center back with blazing speed and excellent tackling and marking is a smart move for a national team that will face serious attacking threats. Farrell is inexperienced, but it's necessary to field a technically-skilled and defensively-skilled center back that can keep pace with the speed of players like Cristiano Ronaldo.
CENTER BACK: Shane O'NEILL (Colorado Rapids)
Shane O'Neill is only 20 years old, but his positional sense, skill on the ball, overall defensive ability, and good size and athleticism will be sorely needed in Group G, which is one of the Groups of Death along with Group B. O'Neill was called into the January camp, and O'Neill appears to be a more complete center back package than Omar Gonzalez and Matt Besler.
LEFT BACK: Chris KLUTE (Colorado Rapids)
The United States could start Eric Lichaj, Timothy Chandler, or Fabian Johnson at left back, but Chris Klute looks way too fast and skilled of a defender to not use to track World Cup attackers and storm down the sideline in the attack. Klute is a two-footed outside back who excels at 1v1 defending, tracking attackers down, and delivering crucial tackles that are clean; the Colorado Rapids left back is also an excellent crosser of the ball, and he has knack for setting his teammates up to score. Klute has too much athletic ability and skill to not start in the World Cup against some scary opponents. His inexperience may scare many USMNT fans, but with Fabian Johnson and Edgar Castillo being wingers, Klute is the left back with the tools to be best prepared to perform at the World Cup. The one caveat is that both Chandler and Lichaj could hold their own at left back at the World Cup.
DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER: Geoff CAMERON (Stoke City)
For a long time, Geoff Cameron's size, speed, tackling, and technical ability seemed like the answer to the United States' problems in the center of the defense, but all of these qualities can be showcased more as a defensive midfielder, which is a key role to protecting the center of the American defense. With Jermaine Jones not communicating well with Michael Bradley, Cameron is the logical choice to play the more stay at home defensive midfielder, which actually requires a lot of running, technical skill, and defensive savvy.
BOX-TO-BOX MIDFIELDER: Michael BRADLEY (Toronto FC)
Michael Bradley has developed into a quality box-to-box midfielder over time, and it was a shame to see him leave such a storied and elite club like AS Roma. Nevertheless, Bradley and Cameron form a nice partnership, and with Cameron covering for Bradley when Bradley makes attacking forays, the United States has a formidable two-man defensive midfield that brings a level of athleticism, intensity, and technical ability that even top national teams have to respect, even if they can still break it down.
RIGHT ATTACKING MIDFIELDER: Landon DONOVAN (LA Galaxy)
Landon Donovan really asserted himself in the 2010 World Cup where he demonstrated more fire and toughness against non-CONCACAF opponents, and he's too talented and too fast not to be considered the default right winger or right attacking midfielder for the 2014 World Cup. Donovan is still a very fast player that can disrupt the defensive shape of opponents by running at them at pace or with combination play. In the 2010 World Cup, Donovan explained his goal against Slovenia where he had no angle by saying that he decided to strike his near post shot straight at the keeper's head. Of all of Donovan's goals, that was the most ruthless one. This sort of mentality will be needed in Group G and perhaps beyond.
CENTRAL ATTACKING MIDFIELDER: Benny FEILHABER (Sporting Kansas City)
Benny Feilhaber (along with Freddy Adu and possibly Mix Diskerud) is the one American playmaker whose ability to perform and create against elite opponents isn't questioned, even if his ability to perform for 90 minutes is. Playing Feilhaber as a central attacking midfielder between Donovan and Dempsey and with Cameron and Bradley deeper seems like a no-brainer that should have been used a long time ago by Klinsmann. Feilhaber can help the United States to keep possession and create scoring chances, and without him or some other playmaker, the United States will struggle to break down its Group G opponents and keep possession.
LEFT ATTACKING MIDFIELDER: Clint DEMPSEY (Seattle Sounders/Fulham)
Clint Dempsey is the obvious choice to start as the left attacking midfielder, and he is the main attacking and scoring threat for opposing teams. His skill, brazen play, irreverence towards famous teams and players, and his burning desire to win should help the USMNT to produce quality soccer in addition to drawing defenders away from other American attacking players. Both Dempsey and Donovan will be the focus of the United States' opponents defensive pressure, and this should allow space for Feilhaber to receive passes that he can turn into final balls for his teammates in the final third.
STRIKER: Juan AGUDELO (Stoke City/Utrecht)
With all the talk about Jozy Altidore or Aron Jóhannsson or both as the starting strikers for the U.S. national team, Juan Agudelo might be the most dangerous, the most athletic, the most skilled, and the craftiest of the bunch.
Even as a teenager, Agudelo showed that he was capable of scoring at the international level outside of CONCACAF, and he showed that his involvement in USMNT games created more of a scoring threat. Agudelo simply is more capable and willing to try creative and difficult things and execute them than other American strikers are.
Agudelo has a certain quality that allows him to disrupt defenses and open up games like no other American striker can, and Agudelo is a striker whose skill, size, and speed has to be taken seriously.
In a tournament when just one play in the blink of an eye can change the outcome of games, Agudelo is the American striker who poses the biggest threat to opponents by not only forcing them to mark him and chase him down but also because he frees up Dempsey and Donovan to score.
The ability of Donovan, Dempsey, and Agudelo to draw defenders to them gives the United States three attackers that can each draw more than one defender toward them when they receive the ball in the final third or the attacking half.
The use of Agudelo forces opponents to not just focus on Donovan and Dempsey, and Agudelo is better at taking the game to the opponent than either Altidore or Jóhannsson are.
How they line up:

This is the 2016 scent that came out from Hugo Boss, and it was honestly an in the moment random splurge purchase since I was in the market for a new scent. The bottle is super super cute. This perfume doesn't have too many "layers" which some people may not like / say it is too basic, but that's honestly what I love about it. At first, it is a very apricotey / nectariney scent. Then when it sinks it, it deepens to a more sophisticated scent. I am a young adult now, and I think this is a great transition from my teen days when I wore very sweet Victoria Secret scents !

Students learn outside the classroom
The on-going restoration project of the historic Spring Hill Cemetery in Hernando reached new heights recently as a 20-foot-tall sign was erected, marking the entrance to the cemetery. The sign was designed by Northwest Mississippi Community College alumnus Brandon Parker of Sarah and built by students in the Welding and Cutting Program at Northwest.
The sign project started in the fall of 2009 with a contest sponsored by Community Bank. Parker earned a $200 prize for his winning design.
"My design contains trees that are very significant to the area. The oak tree is a much respected tree by the Chickasaw Indians that once inhabited this area and is still very important to the inhabitants today," said Parker.
