Christmas Books: New and Old Favourites
Can we just take a moment to admire my Christmas library mice? I'm rather chuffed with them and I also rather enjoyed making teeny books for them to hold! I find cutting and glueing so terribly therapeutic…
And so we come to Christmas 2018 and all.those.books! My lists of recommendations for books for different reading ages, stages and interests will start coming out next week so keep an eye out for those. Today however? It's all about the Christmas-themed books and I'm doing this earlier than I usually do due to so many requests from all you readers! If you are doing a Christmas Book Advent Calendar, then this is the list for you as you'll find more than enough titles here to unwrap one a day. If you are just looking to plug holes in your own collection of Christmas books I hope you find some that you love in this list. My favourite will always remain 'Great Joy' by Kate DiCamillo. The beautiful and wonderful Beth Green gifted this book to PudStar for her first Christmas so it will always be extra special, as books are when they are gifted with love by someone you adore. We read this one every Christmas and I toast Beth with a glass of something nice before I read the first page (she would insist she be toasted in this way!).

I don't know about your household, but in this one, I have one extremely Where's Wally obsessed small person. Hours can be spent with her magnifying glass and the pages of those books. So this was her FAV present last year – well her fav bookish present anyway! Join Wally and his friends in this sensational Santa themed sticker activity book. It has 24 pages of wintry sticker-based activities (spot the differences, games, mazes, searches and much more) and six sticker sheets bursting with hundreds of stickers to complete them. Full of new art from Martin Handford throughout and a gatefold page on the inside back cover featuring a fantastic "Create Your Own Where s Wally?" scene. Featuring new refreshed bold blue cover and perforated pages for easy tear-away convenience and portability. Hours of festive fun!
I love that this classic Christmas book has been re-released for it's 10th anniversary, both my girls have been being read this one since birth and I can recite most it; Each year Santa likes to have some fun, a chance to get some rest and sun. He needs to find somewhere to go. He spins his globe. Ho, ho, ho! A big smile spreads across his face…Australia is the perfect place! This charming Christmas story answers the question, What does Santa do when he isn't getting ready for Christmas?. He takes a well-deserved holiday! Join Santa and his new Aussie mates as they travel around Australia, from the Great Barrier Reef to Rottnest Island.
Hopping around the Christmas tree, At the Christmas party hop. Pouches full everywhere you see All the joeys dance and bop! Flapping around the Christmas tree, Let the Christmas bells sway. Later well have some worm mince pie And well look for Santas sleigh! All the Aussie animals are coming for the big Christmas shindig.

This classic seasonal tale of self-discovery has become one of Charles Dickens's most famous and best-loved works. This timeless Charles Dickens classic has been a family favourite ever since it was first published in 1843. It is retold here in abridged form to allow confident young readers to enjoy it. It is also perfect for reading aloud. As a bedtime story, Dickens' uplifting, magical tale of Christmas spirits transforming the life of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge is wonderfully illustrated by award-winning artist Robert Ingpen.Christmas is here!

Macca and his best friend Al have to come up with a plan to make the best Christmas surprise for all their friends, and in doing so, discover the true spirit of giving.
There's nothing not to love about these classic Australian hippo books by Hazel Edwards and Deborah Niland and this new Christmas one is ace; There's a hippopotamus on our roof getting ready for Christmas. And he's excited just like me! I just love a good series and this new title has the same favourite characters from the best-selling picture book series, 'There's a Hippopotamus on Our Roof Eating Cake'.
Dottie is waiting for the Christmas feeling to arrive – that fizzy, excited feeling, where everything is a bit magical. But this year, Dottie, her brother, Jem, and their dog, Shortbread, are staying with Grandma and Grandpa. Grandma and Grandpa are trying hard, but Christmas just isn't the same…
A gorgeous, heart-warming story about misplacing the Christmas spirit, and finding it again. One of my must-haves for this Christmas.
This one for me epitomises everything that Christmas should be about and is just so beautifully Australian. Highly recommended for young readers from three years+ and the grown ups in their life. 'All I Want for Christmas is Rain' is about Christmas, the feeling of drought and the joy of giving. Told in verse, the story is of Jane, a young girl who lives on a farm badly affected by drought. She knows there is only one thing to ask for this Christmas…rain. The illustrations are sublime and Cori Brooke and Megan Forward have really just created something beautiful together. This is a must have Christmas book. I prefer it in hardback (here) but it is now available in softcover (here).
It's Christmas Eve and Theo – left at home with a babysitter – sees an odd-looking star out of his window and decides to make a wish. He wishes that he had some friends to keep him company. Moments later the Christmas decorations begin to disentangle themselves from the tree behind him, ready to wreak a little havoc …
Written with generous helpings of warmth and humour, this is a story about treasuring the people and values that really matter at this time of year from master storyteller and bestselling children's author Katherine Rundell. Emily Sutton's breathtaking illustrations perfectly capture the magic of Christmas in stunning detail. Have you ever wondered where Father Christmas came from? And how he ended up with a factory at the North Pole full of elves to help him make toys? A beautifully illustrated and timeless story about how a toy-maker and his wife became Mother and Father Christmas for children all over the world. Gorgeous silver embossing on the cover makes this a keepsake book.
From the wombat who creates a beautiful tree to the pony who finds a new home, from a bear with a delicious recipe to Santa's unexpected helper and many more: meet the special animals who feature in these sparkling new stories for young readers, from both established and emerging authors, in a collection of entertaining illustrated tales for young readers, spiced with a touch of Christmas magic.
Edited by Beattie Alvarez, 'A Christmas Menagerie' features original stories by popular authors Gabrielle Wang, Sherryl Clark, Michael Pryor, Janeen Brian and Sophie Masson, as well as several new and emerging writers, and is beautifully illustrated in full colour by David Allan, Kathy Creamer, Fiona McDonald, Ingrid Kallick, and Yvonne Low.
Oh my glory is this book funny. Aaron Blabey just cannot put a foot wrong it seems – I still can't read it to a class without cracking up and having to stop!
Pick a pine tree from the lot – slim and tall, or short and squat! Long straight limbs or branches bent… Mmm! Just smell that piney scent!
From Alan's Big, Scary Teeth creator, Jarvis, and author Patricia Toht, comes a beautiful, irresistible Christmas gift book that all begins with … picking a pine tree! Brimming over with the excitement of being with family at the festive season, a gorgeously rhythmical, read-aloud narrative accompanied by warm, joyful art celebrates all the familiar rituals of decorating the tree – from digging out jam-packed boxes of trimmings, stringing tinsel, to, at last, turning on those twinkly fairy lights.
A very Australian take on the sleigh ride with a decorated trailer, an ice filled esky and a trip to the beach…much more what Australian children experience at Christmas!I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do… This cute little kitten has just one wish for Christmas-she REALLY wants a hippopotamus! How will Santa get this present under the Christmas tree? He's going to need a bigger sleigh! I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas was originally released in 1953 by 10-year-old Gayla Peevey, and was an instant hit.
This one will is a favourite in our school library. Read more about Matt here…and be prepared for LOTS of fart-laughing if you purchase this one.
The twelve days of Christmas have never looked so fun! Turn page after page of this innovative picture book based on the classic carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas," and watch as twelve days of gifts appear through clever peek-through holes on each page! Young children will especially love anticipating all the presents and seeing them arrive as if by magic.
'What Do You Wish For?' has become one of my all-time favourite Christmas books. It's a Jane Godwin and Anna Walker creation so it was always going to be a winner really.
All the children in the street are writing down a special Christmas wish. But what is Ruby's wish? What does she wish for at Christmas time? Ruby thinks of all the things that make Christmas special …From this much-loved creative partnership comes a sparkling and beautiful story, full of the wonder of Christmas, the magic of wishing, and the timeless dreams of a child.
Pud is particularly fond of this first one, 'The Nights Before Christmas' as it is one story a night for the month of December…it's sort of a book and advent calendar rolled into one! Fully illustrated in colour throughout, The Nights Before Christmas contains 24 classic tales, songs and stories to read throughout Advent, or to keep as a family Christmas anthology. Includes festive extracts from much-loved books including A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, and The Wind in the WIllows by Kenneth Grahame; yuletide poems such as 'A Visit from St. Nicholas'; carols such as 'Good King Wenceslas'; and traditional tales from Hans Christian Anderson and the Brothers Grimm. This gorgeous Christmas book is the ultimate gift for young readers.
A beautiful Christmas story based on the traditional legend of the Christmas Rose. The fields near Bethlehem are filled with great joy when angels appear telling of the birth of a very special baby.
One of my all time fav Christmas tales…the nativity told from the perspective of the animals. It's available in board book form too….which makes it a perfect small book for the top of a book advent tree! In the stable next to an inn, Kind Ox is just settling in for the night when Old Dog comes into the stable. Kind Ox makes room for Old Dog, who in turn makes room for Stray Cat, who then makes room for Small Mouse–and each time, the larger animal says to the small, "There's always room for a little one here."
PudStar is loving 'The Magic Faraway Tree' at the moment and spends every spare minute with her head in it, so she's going to lose her mind when she sees this big tome from Enid Blyton! From Santa Claus and his helpers to a family putting up their tree, the characters in these stories embrace the Christmas spirit. There is mystery and magic, laughter and mischief, the joy of shared times and plenty of delicious food – many of the ingredients which have been delighting Enid Blyton's readers for more than seventy years.
I miss Beth (see intro) so much but seriously, trust her to have found the perfect book to encapsulate all that Christmas stands for. I love that she inscribed this one – I get teary seeing her handwriting. It is just before Christmas when an organ grinder and monkey appear on the street corner outside Frances's apartment. Frances can see them from her window and, sometimes, when it's quiet, she can hear their music. In fact, Frances can't stop thinking about them, especially after she sees the man and his monkey sleeping outside on the cold street at midnight. When the day of the Christmas pageant arrives, and it's Frances's turn to speak, everyone waits silently. But all Frances can think about is the organ grinder's sad eyes — until, just in time, she finds the perfect words to
This very cool papercraft title is packed with fun festive things to make and do, from Christmas decorations, to mini-crackers. Every page can be used as the basis of an activity, craft, or game, and all you need is a pair of scissors, some colouring pencils and the odd dab of glue. Illustrated with artist and paper engineer Lydia Crooks delightful artwork, it is a perfect present to keep kids entertained over the holiday period.
Jane Jolly and Robert Ingpen…perfect combination of picture book creators. Main character, Kathleen eagerly awaits the Christmas Tea and Sugar train. Will she meet Father Christmas? Will she receive a Christmas gift from him? A delightful, heart-warming story from the National Library of Australia that will intrigue, captivate and introduce readers to a slice of the past. Wonderful sensitive illustrations, including a beautiful double fold-out image showing the shops inside all the carriages.
This one is read by our children in Kindy every year without fail, as they prepare for their own Nativity Play. I adore this book! 'The Nativity Play' is a celebration of the event and a tribute to all those who perform miracles with wire coathangers and stripy towels!
Using text from the King James Bible and with illustrations that are enchanting and unexpected, Julie Vivas reveals the human side to Mary's story, beautifully imagining the Angel Gabriel delivering the news to her, the exhausting journey with Joseph to Bethlehem, and at last the deliverance of the baby Jesus.
This is one of my favourite Nativity re-tellings – Mary looks EXHAUSTED (of course the poor woman would have been!) and the Angel Gabriel is wearing stomping boots. Winning!
It's Christmas time in Australia, and Reindeer has great fun giving presents to his friends Cat, Dog and Guinea Pig. But even when it's warm and sunny outside, it's hard to be far from home and family on Christmas Eve. Luckily, Christmas is a time for exciting surprises, and this year Reindeer might just get one of his very own.
I do so love a Peter Carnavas (here) creation and this one is no exception. Mr Darcy loves Christmas. A roaring fire, falling snow, friends, hot chocolate. But what happens when Mr Collins drops by unexpectedly?
Nine unabridged Little Golden Book Christmas stories come together in a deluxe volume, brimming with stories about the joys and wonders of the holiday: Jingle Bells; The Nutcracker; The Twelve Days of Christmas; The Little Christmas Elf; The Christmas Story; The Poky Little Puppy's First Christmas; Baby's Christmas; The Night Before Christmas; and The Christmas ABC.
Tis the night before Christmas, and deep in his burrow,
Wombat is busy getting ready for tomorrow.
The stockings are hung by the campfire with care,
In hopes the Bush Santa soon will be there.
Laugh and smile as Wombat searches for the perfect gift to show Emu how much he cares. A fun-filled, beautifully illustrated picture book which celebrates the joy of giving at Christmas.
Read 'The Perfect Present' and hang the perfect Christmas stocking with this beautiful Billie B Brown Christmas pack. Perfect for little ones just starting out on their chapter book journey.
Ella can't wait to have Christmas at Moonlight Gardens Caravan Park, right on the beach, with her best friend Zoe and her 'SUMMER BEST FRIENDS FOREVER' Jessi and Ana. But when Ella's SBFFs go missing, she's dragged off to Krafty Kids Klass (bleuchhh!) and a HORRIFICALLY HORRIBLE thing happens, turning her perfect holiday into CHAOS!
One of Pud's favourites from last year! The Bell family are preparing for the best Christmas ever. There are presents to wrap, yummy food to cook and costumes to sew.
But Lulu's friends Olivia and Jo are too sad to sing in the school concert because their little cat Bonnie is missing. Can Lulu cheer them up and help find Bonnie before Christmas Eve? Maybe a special letter to Santa will help.
From bestselling author Matt Haig comes these fabulously wicked Christmas tales for readers 7+. Small chapter books with lots of illustrations by the talented Chris Mould and lots of wry humour from Haig. Must haves!
A charming and nostalgic Christmas story about a much loved Little Dog who finds his way home for Christmas. Little Dog and Jonathan are best friends. They do everything together. But on Christmas Eve Little Dog finds himself lost and alone in a busy city. How will he find his way home? Can Christmas wishes come true?
From Australian icon and singer–songwriter, John Williamson, comes this hugely popular family song, brought to life by talented artist, Mitch Vane.
Love this series of books with their accompanying CDs…it's on high rotation already!
Gorgeous GORGEOUS. Have purchased a few of this one as gifts for toddlers.
'The First Noel – A Christmas Carousel' – Home decor and art and book – I've loved this 'book' since I was a child and may or may not have stolen my childhood copy of it.
Likewise…I may or may not have stolen my childhood copy of this. LOVE LOVE LOVE.It's Olivia. No more need be said. Perfection in a book.
For some reason this book makes me all teary every time I read it – it is just SOOOOOOOOOO beautiful. Oh my GLORY Mem Fox and Kerry Argent you did a good job with this one all those years ago!
Have purchased this one for some babies that are hopefully going to make their entrance just before Christmas!

It's never too early for Christmas books and there are so many amazing choices! Thanks for putting together such a fun list. On a seperate note, your library mice are the cutest things ever!!! Love them!
One of my favourites, re-read every Christmas Eve, is Applesauce and the Christmas Miracle by Glenda Millard (illustrated by Stephen Michael King). It is a beautiful story of the Nativity, told with a unique Australian perspective. It is so subtle and gently beautiful, and I have given it as a Christmas gift on many occasions!
This was exactly what I was looking for to order the last few books for my Prep (first year of school) advent book tree in the classroom! Fingers crossed they'll arrive in time to set it up 🙂 We love 'Peggy' so 'What do you wish for' should be a hit. Thanks!

To Avoid Injuries, Focus on Prevention

We are runners, therefore we run! Or in other words, running is how we prefer to spend the time we set aside for exercise.

I look forward to spring each year, mainly because it signals the end of the deep freeze here in Calgary. Spring can never come soon enough in my world!
For me, design extends to how people and their things function in a space. There are few things more frustrating than digging in the back of a cupboard for missing shoe or hunting all over your house at tax time looking for that elusive statement.
I find spring the perfect time to re-assess how spaces are working in my home, what things need to go and areas that may need a freshen up. It's a bit like hitting the re-set button, for your home, but your mind will thank you too.
Here are five ways to freshen up your home.
Take a walk around your home and note what areas are problematic for your family.
This could be obvious, like your front entry is always overloaded with boots and backpacks, the linen closet is stuffed to overflowing and your Tupperware drawer - well, let's not go there.
Think about your processes too. Say what? Yes, we all have them, even if they are a bit haphazard. How do you manage incoming mail and bill payments? Where do the kids put important school notices so they don't get lost or crumpled in the bottom of a bag?
Be prepared to re-think some things so that your house works for you, not against you.
Time to roll up those sleeves!
Based on your walk through, prioritize the areas that you need to go through, whether it's the broom closet, the pantry or the junk drawer. This year our linen closet is first up because it's driving me nuts - I'm not sure what happened but we seem to have been taken over by a lot of towels!
Determine if you should keep or discard things, being honest as to how much use or wear it has had in the past year.
Separate your discarded items for donation, recycling or consignment. And then get them out of your house. Don't let them linger as it only creates more clutter, both in your home and your mind!
Take stock of what you are left with post-purge and organize it into categories that make sense to you.
Once you can see how much you have of any one thing you can either re-purpose or go shopping (woo hoo!) for the appropriate containers for what and where you plan to store things. You may require new furniture pieces to give you the function you need.
Then put things away, label containers where necessary and remember to give your family a guided tour of where things go!
I am not a huge fan of cleaning, but I do like a clean home. This time of year is no exception and I go all out, cleaning the windows, wiping out cabinet interiors, vacuuming behind the bed (yikes!), wiping the walls and the baseboards - you get the gist. Everything that is not on your regular cleaning 'route' gets done at this time of year.
It's a good idea to wash your duvets and blankets, and consider if your carpets, furniture or area rugs need a professional clean.
And remember to throw open those windows folks! Nothing like some fresh spring air to make the place smell so good.
Green thumb or not, adding some flowers, greenery or plants throughout your home really helps to bring spring inside - especially when the snow is still flying outside like it is for us right now. (Yes, really.)
My favourite flowers this time of year are tulips, their colour is perfect to brighten any room. Experiment with a few olive branches in a large vase or succulents tucked onto your bedside table or bathroom vanity. It doesn't have to be complicated or expensive to really make a difference.
STill stuck?
If this whole process is overwhelming for you then give us a shout - we have people who can help with that!

ROCKY aka "The Rock Star"
Details - Sweet Rocky came to Southern Sun Farm in February 2018. His family's farm in Surrey County, NC was being foreclosed on and while we had no room, we agreed to take whichever horse was in the worst condition. Rocky was truly a rescue situation. Rocky had a bad eye infection and, although not a big horse, he was seriously underweight. He has gained 163 lbs in 7 months and has started back under saddle. Because of his transformation, John calls him "Rock Star"... and Oh, he truly is!
Medical status - To make sure that he is fed well and will not be reminded of starvation.
Riding Status -
Nature/Personality - He is very sweet and friendly. He likes watching what the human people are doing and often follow Ann and the volunteers around like a puppy. Due to his starvation experience when it comes to food (comically) he's been known to "terrorize the village." He can also be a little flower thief as he's been known to strip flowers from the flower box!
Favorite Things - Oh Boy, he does love his food and treats! He especially loves one on one attention, grooming, and a loving voice telling him how beautiful he is!

Azzule Systems, headquartered in Santa Maria, California, is pleased to announce that effective today PrimusGFS Version 3.0 (May 2018) has been successfully benchmarked by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), achieving recognition against the GFSI Guidance Document 7.1 Edition. PrimusGFS is one of the most recognized food safety auditing schemes in the Western Hemisphere, especially among fresh produce producers.
Privately owned and managed by Azzule, the PrimusGFS Standard is a voluntary scheme that establishes requirements for certification in the agricultural crops sector. Version 3.0 features some significant modifications. First, it has simultaneously incorporated all FSMA requirements, including those of the Produce Safety Rule, Preventive Controls for Human Food, and the Sanitary Transportation Rule, as well as other regulatory requirements, such as the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations, along with the standards of Version 7.1 of GFSI's Guidance Documents for both Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs).
To meet these varied standards, Version 3.0 has expanded from three modules to seven, with use of modules tailored to meet auditees' specific needs. The modules are as follows: Module 1: Food Safety Management System; Module 2: Farm; Module 3: Indoor Agriculture; Module 4: Harvest Crew; Module 5: Facility; Module 6: HACCP (mandatory for facilities); Module 7: Preventive Controls (optional for facilities). Sustainability and Social Welfare addenda are also available as addons to Version 3.0.
Rebeca Perez, PrimusGFS Scheme Director with Azzule Systems, welcomed the news "We are grateful that GFSI has recognized the PrimusGFS v3.0 scheme as meeting the universal food safety standards endorsed and accepted by the largest retailers worldwide. Along with our new Sustainability and the soon to be released Social Welfare Standard, we believe that our audits now satisfy the needs of users on a truly global scale. With Azzule as the scheme owner, the audits also have the added advantage of populating our Azzule Supply Chain site with critical food safety data that offers food producers the knowledge necessary to take every action possible to ensure the safety of their products. Additionally", Perez added, "we want to recognize and offer our gratitude to our certification bodies and all PrimusGFS users."
Updated Scheme Documents and Interpretation Guidelines are available at the PrimusGFS website www.primusgfs.com.

Everything about our education,
our working world,
our religions,
seem to be about "getting it right".
Don't mess up or you'll get zapped.
Getting zapped is life-ending, catastrophic.
"This will go on your permanent record."
What if it's really about getting it wrong?
About making a mess, cleaning it up
and learning in the process.
What if we could relearn?
What if when we got it right the first time,
we worried that we hadn't really done the work?
And we took apart the "right answer" to find all of the wrong ones it contained?
We would be more curious, more interested, more interesting,
if we listened to Miss Frizzle:
"Take chances. Make Mistakes. Get Messy."
Free yourself to get it wrong, and you'll be getting it right.

Landscape of the Mind is a research-derived art installation which explores deeply personal experiences of anxiety through body map drawings which chart emotions and physical sensations that may be difficult to express verbally.
Much like totems that contain symbols with different meanings, body-mapping and its significance can only be understood in relation to the creator's overall story and experience.

Miracle Drug is near the very bottom of any list of U2 songs I make. I have so many things wrong with the song that I don't know where to start. It simply fails on too many levels to be a good song, from sound to lyrics. There is a slight bonus in the premise of the song, but it's a little hokey even for Bono, and I'm afraid it doesn't add much knowing about it. When they released Miracle Drug on How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb it was an immediate dud for me, and it had been quite a while since I had disliked a song as much as I dislike this one.
Okay, so the music isn't that bad. It's slow, and doesn't really pick up throughout, but it's also not a great Edge song. There aren't any tricks to it, anything especially interesting. There's what sounds like some strings in the background, adding a slight layer, but well, not enough. I'm trying to figure out what the main instrument being played in the slow parts is, it sounds like a guitar but it also sounds like a piano. Is it just some effects on something, or can I just not recognize what it is? Okay, so that is some slight interest.
Now I think about it, there's quite a bit of drums in this song, but they're surprisingly quiet, they're mostly drowned out by other stuff, and even when things get happening the cymbals crashing are drowned out by the guitar. And thinking further, there is a stunning lack of bass in the song. Maybe that's the problem with it. I mean, I guess it's there, it just doesn't show up anywhere throughout the song. Like everything else, overshadowed by the guitar parts.
Alright, let's get to the elephant in the room, the thing I hate most about this song, the lyrics. Bono has said it's about a kid who was a paraplegic, but a miracle drug enabled him to communicate, and showed he had many ideas inside the body that couldn't do anything. A lovely story, you might say, and somewhat reflected in the song, but still it's not enough to make a song about. Why? Because the parts of the song that are talking about this person (mostly the first couple of verses, plus bits here and there elsewhere in the song) are rather stiff, rather wordy, not necessarily the kind of thing that Bono usually writes, where there is plenty of ambiguity in things. That's where he usually succeeds, painting images rather than describing scenes.
And then we get to the heart of the matter. Some of the lines in this song are awful. "Of science and the human heart there is no limit." "I've had enough of romantic love, I'd give it up for a miracle drug." "In science and in medicine, I was a stranger you took me in." One of these lines in a song would be bad, but to get them all is horrible writing. Sorry, Bono, I hate to say this, but it's true. These are some of the worst lines you've ever written, so descriptive, so prosaic, so hard to read and hard to hear. I cringe at each and every one of them. Like I said above, stick to those fantastic lines where you're giving us an idea or an image to think about, rather than something so descriptive like this. Awful.
My rating for Miracle Drug: 1 / 10

Jon's post about grunge yesterday coincided nicely with the decision I'd made earlier in the day to only listen to Greg Sage and the Wipers for a 24 hour period. Not sure why, just thought it'd be nice music to get back in the work zone to. It was, thanks for asking.
Anyway, while I was listening to the Wipers I was, of course, compelled to find this poster of old Greg (not that one) with his incredible hair that had been buried on my hard drive. His cut is identical to Agyness Deyn's at this stage in her (now absent) career. No wonder they called him the Draco Malfoy of punk. Oh wait, they didn't.
…But they should.

WATCH our trip to the Isle of Hvar, Croatia/
Hvar is a slice of paradise – a small island which can be found just off the coast of Dalmatia in the Adriatic Sea.
We visited back in June as part of a trip that included Dubrovnik and Split in Croatia, as well as Mostar – a small city in the southern reaches of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
To reach Hvar we booked tickets on a ferry departing early in the morning from Split returning the next day through Jadrolinija. It was cheap and easy with a good service, and reasonably-priced refreshments are available on board.
Keeping in-line with a budget, we stayed at Hotel Delfin in Hvar Town. Hvar Town, surprisingly, comes to life at night, attracting a large party crowd, yet is rather quaint in the daytime. Our hotel was perfectly located, right on the edge of the harbour, which meant a great view when we ate our free buffet breakfast out on the veranda.
Attractions-wise, we checked out Hvar Fortress – a 403-year-old fortress which looks over the town and was damaged in World War II – but most of our time was consumed on the amazing Green and Blue Caves excursion, put on by Hvar Tours.
In addition to seeing the caves on the islands of Ravnik and Biševo, respectively, we were whisked off by speedboat to picturesque locations such as Stiniva Cove, Vis and the Palmižana inlet where we were able to grab a bite to eat.
There's plenty more to do including the Cathedral of St Stephen and visiting Stari Grad and its coastal plain – a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We had an awesome time in Hvar, and a lot of what we got up to is now available to see on YouTube. Check it out below!

Shares of Coal India slumped 4% higher to ₹263.30 on Friday, supported by its strong performance during this year's March quarter. The company reported a 3.6 times and 1.48 times rise in profit on Tursday after tax for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2019, respectively, on the back of improved realisation from coal sales, lesser outgo on account of employee benefit and improved operational cost control.
The world's largest coal producer's total income crossed Rs 1 lakh crore for the first time since its inception 44 years ago. Total income for the year was Rs 1,05,420 crore against Rs 91,625 crore in the previous corresponding period. Gross sales for the year was Rs 1,40,603 crores while net sales was Rs 92,896.08 crore for the year.
The numbers were lauded by the Street, with brokerages showing faith in the stock.
CLSA has maintained a buy recommendation on Coal India and hiked the target price to Rs 290 from Rs 275. However, the brokerage highlighted that the company's earnings outlook looks muted and it sees a flattish earnings per share (EPS) over FY19-21.
Citi also retained its buy recommendation on the stock and raised the target price to Rs 320 from Rs 300, underscoring that the company offers an attractive dividend yield. The financial firm said it values Coal India at a premium given its resource base and limited exposure to the global volatility.
Motilal Oswal Securities has also maintained a buy recommendation on the stock with a target price of Rs 307.
"We raise our adjusted PAT estimate by nearly 1 per cent to Rs 18,010 crore for FY20 and 4 per cent to Rs 19,200 crore for FY21, given higher FSA realization and lower CoP. The stock trades attractively at nearly 4 times FY20E EV/adjusted Ebitda (against a historical average of 7 times), P/E of nearly 8 times (against average of nearly 14 times) and offers a dividend yield of nearly 7-8 per cent. We value the stock on 5 times FY20E EV/Ebitda at Rs 307," said the brokerage.

BBQLA presents Would You Rather… a group exhibition curated by Michael Smoler featuring works by Kishio Suga, Arlene Shechet, Paul Pascal Theriault, M.L. Dodge, Damien Hoar de Galvan, and Samuel Scharf.
The title of the exhibition playfully summons the rationales that one invokes when engaging in the act of decision-making. Would You Rather… magnetizes the subsequent and varied outcomes, creating a spatial sense of intimacy and offering a multitude of perspectives from which to observe the predominant medium of the exhibition—wood. The dismantling and re-methodizing present in the selected artworks are informed by each artist's curious antidote to the ostensible natural order of things. By invoking the inherent processes and forms of minimalist sculpture, color field painting, mark-making, assemblage, and installation, Would You Rather… imbues a scrupulous presence, rarefying the experience of the collective, site-specific nature of the exhibition.

Peace in the Mid-Region
I had forgotten about acidophilus.
But I should start at the beginning. Which was my not-really heart attack in July, caused by an extra special flaring of GERD. Several factors contributed to this, including stress and the best gingersnaps I've ever had (and will now never have again) among them. The chief trigger, though, appeared to be my body developing an intolerance to meloxicam.
This was not good news, as next to Vioxx, meloxicam is the most effective NSAID I've used in a very long time. Not only did the deal with pain related to 40+ years of RA damage, but it also had a good effect on my Fibro. I tried to do without an anti-inflammatory for a while, but it very quickly became obvious that this was a Very Bad Idea indeed.
So, now what?
Due to a previously developed intolerance, I can't take anything that ends in -profen, excluding an entire subclass of NSAIDs. So I tried naproxen. Which is a good anti-inflammatory, but it burns the crap out of your stomach.
Fast forward several months to late November. I was still on naproxen, which together with Humira, allowed me to have a really intense schedule with an equally intense workload, but also left me popping over-the-counter Zantac like they were mints. Nothing worked.
And then I had a conversation with my mother. Her bad hip had her dosing up on some heavy-duty painkillers and she subsequently wasn't happy in the mid-region. I reminded her of how acidophilus can be a wonderful balm for opioid side effects, such as your stomach trying to eat itself and being rather blocked (if you know what I mean).
Amazingly, it only took me week or so before the light bulb went off and I realized that the advice I'd given my mother could also apply to me.
Some days are blonder than others.
In my defence, I had stopped taking acidophilus earlier this year, due to my body deciding it was intensely sensitive to everything. Although I had some in my fridge (it's a staple, really), out of sight had meant completely and totally out of mind.
In case my body was still as hysterical as a supermodel who hasn't had her lettuce leaf, I started with half a tablet. The next day, I took a whole tablet.
Four days after I started, my stomach had calmed down and my Zantac popping had been reduced by two thirds. The side effects are still there, but they are now entirely tolerable.
And yes, I know I wrote a chapter in Your Life with Rheumatoid Arthritis that includes mention of acidophilus. I know I've written posts about it for HealthCentral and that it's one of the first things I mention to people who have bad gastrointestinal side effects from RA meds. But somehow, when it came to me spending 24 hours a day with a giant hole in my stomach, it never entered my mind.
This might be a good time for someone to smack me.
Although I've been told by the naturopath that acidophilus doesn't have any side effects (except loose stools if you're taking too much), I would be remiss if I didn't recommend that you discuss this with your doctor before taking it.

These five points are about how Christians come into being, and how we are kept forever. It reaches back into times past when we were freely chosen. It reaches forward into the future when we will be safe and happy forever. It reaches down into the mysteries of the work of Christ, purchasing the gift of faith for all God's children.

The Essence of Turbulence as a Physical Phenomenon (2nd Ed., 2nd ed. 2019) With Emphasis on Issues of Paradigmatic Nature
Auteur : Tsinober Arkady
Now in its second edition, this book clearly, concisely and comprehensively outlines the essence of turbulence.
In view of the absence of a theory based on first principles and adequate tools to handle the problem, the ?essence? of turbulence, i.e. what turbulence really is from a fundamental point of view, is understood empirically through observations from nature, laboratories and direct numerical simulations rather than explained by means of conventional formalistic aspects, models, etc., resulting in pertinent issues being described at a highly theoretical level in spite of the mentioned lack of theory.
As such, the book highlights and critically reexamines fundamental issues, especially those of paradigmatic nature, related to conceptual and problematic aspects, key misconceptions and unresolved matters, and discusses why the problem is so difficult. As in the previous edition, the focus on fundamental issues is also a consequence of the view that without corresponding advances in fundamental aspects there is little chance of progress in any applications. More generally there is a desperate need for physical fundamentals of a great variety of processes in nature and technology in which turbulence plays a central role. Turbulence is omnipresent throughout the natural sciences and technology, but despite the vast sea of information available the book retains its brevity without oversimplifications, making it of interest to a broad audience.

Filling in here at Jets mini-camp for Cannizzaro and, in case you were wondering, Chris Baker is still mad about his contract. The tight end torched the Jets again today, particularly general manager Mike Tannenbaum.
Coincidentally, Baker did not practice today after he tweaked his back warming up. He spent the first practice on the stationary bike.
Here's the best of what he had to say:
"I've actually tried to avoid this at all costs, every step of the way my agent has been communicating with Mike and trying to stop this from happening. It's almost like he wants this to happen because he knew it was going to happen if nothing was done. He's just kind of letting this play out."
"It is a little awkward but it is what is. I can't do anything about it now. It's gotten to this point."
"How many times has that happened just in the past year? It's not a coincidence. I have no reason to come out here and make that story up. Like I said, you've seen it happen a couple times in the past year and it's happening again. If you want to believe that you can, but there would be no reason for me to come out and lie."
(on what his agent told him Tannenbaum said)
"Later that day after I talked to him he said Mike said we're dealing with other contract issues right now. You just signed a deal so go out and have a good year and we'll talk after that."
(on the team giving him money up front this year)
"I did not go to them and say I need half my salary for next year. I'm pretty confident I was going to be the starting tight end. I'm pretty sure I was going to be there. They came to me and asked me to help them out to help them with the salary cap for the upcoming year. After that was done, they thanked me for helping them out."
(on going to training camp like this)
"It's going to be extremely difficult. It's been difficult these past two days. Hopefully something gets resolved but I'm not optimistic just because this was the way things were going. It's gotten to this point. I tried to avoid this. I don't know what's going to happen."
(on people not believing he was hurt today)
"I've played every game I've had a chance to. Talking about injuries I took three injections in my back three different times last year. You know what I mean? This was at the point where we were 1-7 and things like that. If anybody ever questions whether I want to be on the field or things like that that's up to them but I could have easily packed it in last year and I didn't do it and it wasn't like we were fighting for a playoff spot halfway through the year."
"If I'm your A No. 1 guy then pay me like your A No. 1 guy that's all it is. That's all it comes down to."
"Guys are definitely concerned about it. I can guarantee you after this is all said and done there will be someone out here going through the same thing and the following year because of the way things are handled here. My advice to guys would be if you're going to do anything, as far as with this organization, get it in writing because things may be said with a wink and then the next thing you know they say something has been misconstrued. This is three times and, like I said, this is going to continue to happen."
(on Mangini going to bat for him)
"If he really wanted to have something get done, he has some kind of influence, obviously. He's the head coach but nothing's been done yet."
In other camp news, first-round pick Vernon Gholston practiced for the first time today with the team. The outside linebacker is physically impressive but looked like a rookie in many instances. He is playing catch up after an NCAA rule prevented him from practicing until his class graduated.
"I'm sure his head's spinning," coach Eric Mangini said.
Another rookie, Dustin Keller, made a few nice catches during the morning session. … Brad Smith made a diving catch of a Chad Pennington pass in the end zone when the team was working on red zone situations.

The 21st Prime Minister of Canada Discusses How Indigenous Education Contributes to Board Diversity
TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - December 08, 2015) - Women's Executive Network (WXN) welcomes The Right Honourable Paul Martin, 21st Prime Minister of Canada, to their podium in Toronto on December 10th, 2015 to discuss board diversity from the ground up, starting with Indigenous education.
At the final WXN Breakfast Series event of 2015, Mr. Martin sheds light on the ways Canadian businesses can support and participate in growing Indigenous leaders. Supported by recently-released data from the Canadian Board Diversity Council's (CBDC) Annual Report Card (ARC), Mr. Martin speaks about his leadership of the Martin Aboriginal Education Initiative (MAEI) and other initiatives. He will share how to positively change Canada's corporations so they reflect the communities in which they do business.
"I'm honoured that Mr. Paul Martin can join us to speak about reaching our board diversity goals for Canada," says Pamela Jeffery, founder of both WXN and CBDC. "Both Mr. Martin and I know that better business decisions are made when the people making them are fully representative of the people they serve. But in order to build such a boardroom, we need to trace the talent pipeline back to its origins and nourish it with education, development and preparation of a diverse range of potential executives, including Indigenous peoples."
Indigenous people have become the fastest-growing segment of the Canadian population, but this growth is not reflected in our country's boardrooms. According to the ARC, Aboriginal representation on FP500 boards increased to 1.3% from 0.8% in 2014, but still remains woefully inadequate in comparison to its national population of 4.3%.
These statistics show those in top executive positions -- the ones making major decisions for Corporate Canada -- are not representative of the whole. That's a problem, both morally and economically, with studies showing companies with higher numbers of diverse directors financially outperform those with fewer.
Mr. Martin tackles this issue through MAEI, recognizing that Indigenous representation on Canada's boards roots deeper than corporate diversity policies. The MAEI program seeks to improve elementary and secondary school education outcomes for Indigenous Canadians through the implementation of specific programs and the application of appropriate research.
The MAEI has initiated various educational projects designed to provide Indigenous Canadians with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed. By bringing together Indigenous organizations, Corporate Canada, post-secondary institutions, First Nations schools, and provincially and territorially-funded school boards, the MAEI implements programs to support Indigenous students. To find a solution, Mr. Martin says, we must dig further into the talent pipeline, to look at how we educate, develop and prepare potential executives.
About the Women's Executive Network (WXN)
At WXN, we inspire smart women to lead. WXN creates and delivers innovative networking, mentoring, professional and personal development to inform, inspire, connect and recognize our community of more than 19,500 smart women and their organizations in the pursuit of excellence. WXN enables our partners and corporate members to become and to be recognized as employers of choice and leaders in the advancement of women.
Founded in 1997, WXN is Canada's leading organization dedicated to the advancement and recognition of women in management, executive, professional and board roles. WXN is a founding member of the Canadian Board Diversity Council, dedicated to increasing the diversity of Canada's corporate boards. In 2008, WXN launched in Ireland, followed by London, UK in 2015, creating an international community of female leaders.
About the Canadian Board Diversity Council (CBDC)
CBDC is the leading Canadian organization advancing diversity on Canada's boards. Founded in 2009, the Council has since grown to 60 Founding and Corporate Member organizations that are committed to greater diversity in the Canadian workplace. The Council's goal is to improve the diversity of Canada's corporate boards. The Council's definition expands the traditional board definition of industry experience, management experience, functional area of expertise, education, geography and age to also include gender, visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples and people with disabilities.

NBC has officially canceled action drama series Taken after two seasons. The decision was mostly expected by fans, due to the fact that NBC recently pulled the show from its Friday night at 9pm timeslot.
Taken is based off of the movie trilogy of the same name starring Liam Neeson as Bryan Mills. In the TV adaptation, Mills is played by Vikings star Clive Standen. The show focuses on a younger version of Mills as he begins his career as a special intelligence agent in the employ of Cristina Hart (Jennifer Beals). Mills spent the first season running missions for Hart, while trying to cope with his sister's murder at the hands of a drug lord. The first season ran for ten episodes and was renewed for a 16-episode second season.

Deadline now reports that Taken has been canceled by NBC. According to TheWrap, the series is currently being shopped around by Universal Television and EuropaCorp TV USA, though there's no word yet on what networks may be interested. The show has averaged about 3 million viewers each week, while last season's average was closer to 5 million. While the numbers had fans worried about the show's renewal chances, it became even more clear that Taken had been axed when NBC pulled the show from its Friday schedule and moved it to Saturdays for the remainder of the season.
The news will be disappointing to fans, particularly those who were enjoying the new creative direction the show began to take in the beginning of season 2. Since season 1 barely performed well enough in the ratings to justify a renewal, Taken went through a dramatic overhaul. Not only did the series get a new showrunner in the form of Person of Interest's Greg Plageman, but the show received a major cast shakeup as well. Six series regulars and all recurring characters were dropped, leaving only Standen and Beals as part of the show's main cast.
The show then received new supporting characters and a new premise. Season 2 of Taken has seen Mills and Hart working with a much smaller team that consists of Santana (The Flash's Jessica Camacho) and Killroy (Adam Goldberg). The major changes were intended to give the show a stronger procedural element and to also narrow the focus on Mills. Unfortunately for fans, the show's new direction wasn't enough to save the series.

The final episodes of season 2 of Taken will begin airing Saturday, May 26 at 8pm ET on NBC.

I know this is a random question, but have you ever held a metal flashlight in your teeth for an extended period of time?
(Don't judge, some of us don't have headlamps).
It isn't too bad at first. A little uncomfortable, maybe — but not too bad. Give it 5 or 10 minutes, however, and things start to get a little interesting…
I think the first thing you'll notice is the sensation that your teeth are slowly being ground away by the rough metal grip. Then, a minute or two later, the muscles in your jaw start to tighten and cramp. And then, for some inexplicable reason, your mouth starts to water — and you're faced with a tough decision: do you close your mouth around the flashlight and suck on it like a nasty, metalic popsicle, or do you just let the drool dribble down your chin?
As for me, I usually end up drooling.
That's what I was doing Monday morning, anyway, as I meandered up and down our corn rows in the cool, dark August air.
Y'see, Lindsey and I had had the best of intentions on Saturday; we were gonna wake up early and pick the green beans, snap 'em, blanch 'em, and bottle 'em. Then we were going to pick the corn, husk it, blanch it, bag it, and freeze it — but unfortunately, a handful of unforeseen errands cropped up (that's just life, isn't it?) — and the beans ended up taking a lot longer than planned.
It was around 8 o'clock in the evening when we finished that last batch. I was sitting in the sweltering garage, watching the pressure gauge and listening to the old familiar hissing sound as the pressure cooker did its thing on our propane cooker, and Lindsey was in the kitchen, washing what felt like the three-hundred-and-seventy-eighth sink full of dishes for the day.
When the bean timer finally went off, we both agreed: there was no chance in heck that we were gonna start another food preservation project that day!
So fast-forward a couple of days, and there we were, Monday morning, 4:00 AM, picking corn in the pitch black, in order to get it harvested and processed before I had to go to work.
Hence the flashlight in my teeth.
We had only just started our work (still kinda bleary-eyed and stumbling) when the friendly neighborhood "coyote choir" chimed in with their encouragement.
All across the countryside, every little tree and rock and hollow seemed to echo their yapping, discordant song. And it wasn't long before our dog, Ryu, who had been out "helping" us pick corn, started barking at the top of his lungs too, telling those old 'yotes to keep it down! (He REALLY doesn't like it when they start yapping).
We eventually got all the picking done (and the husking, and the blanching, and the cutting, and the bagging, and the freezing, and the clean-up). And would you believe it, I wasn't even late for work!
The more I think about it though, that cold, dark, busy morning epitomized August.
It totally summed up the entire month.
August is the month where everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING, just seems to all get ripe at the same time — and it'll go rotten in a flash, if you aren't willing to drop everything and preserve it.
August is a month of decisions. A month of sacrifices…
Are you willing to sacrifice convenience, sleep, or even valuable PTO to preserve the harvest? Or are you going to let it go to waste?
As for us, we've spent the last five Saturdays picking and bottling bushels and bushels of green beans (55 quarts, in case you were wondering). We've stayed up past midnight fermenting roughly 6 quarts of sauerkraut. We've picked and juiced 25 quarts of green grapes (and dried a half-gallon jar of raisins too). We've had two 4:00 AM mornings harvesting and freezing sweet corn (I think we ended up with about 88 quart-size freezer bags full). And we just finished a 4:00 AM morning bottling 28 quarts of peaches from my parents' tree.
Now, we're definitely not perfect — and I'm certainly not trying to brag. In fact, the only reason I'm including the actual numbers is for my own personal record-keeping. It's kinda nice to have stuff written down, so I can look back and see how much we started with, versus how much we used in a given amount of time. It definitely helps me plan for the next year!
But the fact of the matter is, we've also had a lot of help from parents, siblings, and our 3-year-old.
And let me tell ya, it's really been fun to see her out there in her little hand-me-down "Indiana Jones" fedora, picking and snapping beans…
August sure has flown by in a haze (and not just because of the smokey wildfires that have been completely smogging up our little valley). Hot, sweaty days. Cool, refreshing nights. County Fairs. Rodeos. Huckleberry picking. Canning parties. And tons of delicious, fresh food… One thing is certain, we've definitely been enjoying ourselves!

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) – Tesla Motors announcement that it was ready to select a site for a planned "gigafactory" in Europe has set off a flurry of suitors who are trying to lure the company to their respective countries.
The Netherlands – which already has a Tesla plant – France and Spain appear to be among the front-runners.
But none of them have come close to matching the kind of out of the box pitch that Lithuania has launched.
The Lithuanians turned to the "Minecraft" video game to build a virtual vision of the new plant.
Vladas Lasas, who was behind the project, says they wanted to send a message to Tesla CEO Elon Musk that Lithuania "has plenty of skillful" people as well as a perfect factory site.
He said that 41 computer geeks spent two days building the virtual factory in Kruonis in central Lithuania near a hydroelectric plant and two airports.
The pitch did catch the eye of Tesla executives.
No date has been set for the announcement of where the factory — estimated to cost ($5.4 billion) — will be built.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk Musk said the new European plant would give his company the extra capacity needed to ramp production to reach the target of building 500,000 vehicles a year by 2018.
Tesla sold 11,775 cars in Europe in the first nine months of 2016, up 7.6 percent, according to figures from market analysts JATO Dynamics.

"Cash only" trap
For many years cannabis industry has been suffering from regulations preventing it from emerging from the shadow market and working with the banking system like any official business. And here comes blockchain that can totally solve the problem. The main question is whether it will be able to help the legalization, or anonymity and decentralization will become a serious obstacle?
Arcview Market research shows that the revenue from the legal sale of marijuana will grow to $57 billion by 2027. Statista data shows that in US it's already a $10 billion market that will double in 5 years.
Source: statista.com
And yet this enormous industry in US (recreational marijuana is legal in nine states and medical marijuana is legal in 29 states) operates in cash without the ability to keep legal accounts with banks and accept non-cash payments. The reason is that cannabis is still in the "Schedule 1 drug" list, accompanied by heroin and methamphetamine. At the federal level it is still illegal. Those banks that work with cannabis suppliers might get punished for money laundering. Even the US Treasury Department's FINCEN guidance working with marijuana-related businesses didn't help to take the heat off: financial institutions are still afraid.
So the cannabis industry is forced to be cash only, which causes several serious obstacles:
- Everyone from tax assessors to utilities providers prefer non-cash payments and may even refuse to take cash.
- Cash payments immediately make you the subject for the IRS investigation, as it is extremely suspicious.
- You can't get a loan. No way to raise money when you plan to expand the business.
- You have to keep cash at the office and therefore the chances to get robbed are growing. Often you get robbed by your own stuff and have to hire guards and install expensive security systems.
- Customers can't pay with cards.
- Carrying such amount of cash might be quite an energy-consuming task ($1 billion in $100 bills weighs 20,000 pounds!)
Making "cash only" cashless
Source: businessinsider.com
Here comes the blockchain with all its decentralized power and capabilities for fast online money transfers. Plenty of cryptocurrency startups are trying to enter the cannabis space, introducing themselves as a solution to the industry's cash problem. Obviously this is not a disinterested impulse: this partnership will bring crypto companies a huge number of extremely loyal customers.
Right now there're more than 30 existing blockchain projects specializing in marijuana. Here are Top 3 startups based on our editorial choice:
- 1. HempCoin with more than 230 million tokens circulating and $40 million market cap.
- 2. PotCoin with 219 million tokens in circulation and $34 million market cap.
- 3. Paragon – with over 65 million tokens in circulation and $20 million market cap.
CannabisCoin demonstrates interesting approach tying their token to a product: one CannabisCoin for one gram of cannabis. Assuming that one CannabisCoin is currently $0.08, using tokens you get the cheapest joint in the world.
In the beginning of 2018, a cannabis company from Vancouver bought 51% stake in FlipCoin, which is not a coin itself but an app that allows customers to connect to Coinbase and purchase items using their Coinbase wallet. If FlipCoin gets adopted by the cannabis industry, it will be a big step forward for the market.
With another startup anyone (in North America for sure) may be able to participate in a crypto economy growing cannabis with indoor home farming appliances AgroTechFarm.
Due to the fact that none of the largest cryptocurrencies has not yet taken root, and the new specialized cryptocurrencies are in the process of implementation and can not provide the necessary capacity, unstable prices and strict government regulations make them nothing more than a fad at the moment. We will have to hold on and to observe what will be happening, keeping the hope that after 2020 the government will simplify the legislation and make life easier for both producers and users.

Most people have heard of the #Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in New York City. However, many people do not know the man who was behind it all. #Alvin Ailey was an African-American choreographer and activist who founding the theater. He is often given credit for popularizing modern dance and revolutionizing African-American participation in 20th century concert dance.
Like most African-American children growing up in the early part of the 1900s, Ailey endured racial segregation, violence and lynching against African-Americans. His early experiences in the Southern Baptist church and juke joints instilled a sense of #Black pride that would later lead to his success. Ailey and his mother left the deep-south and moved to Los Angeles, California in 1942. It was in 1949 when Ailey became serious about dance. His school friend Carmen De Lavallade introduced him to the Hollywood studio of Lester Horton. Horton soon became the biggest influence in Ailey's life.
Ailey began to fall in love with dance. He soon moved to San Francisco after becoming tired of academics. He soon met Marguerite Johnson, who later changed her name to Maya Angelou, and they performed together at a night club with their act called "Al and Rita." Ailey earned a living waiting tables and dancing at the New Orleans Champagne Supper Club. Eventually, he returned to study dance with Horton in southern California. Ailey began studying full-time at Horton's school. He joined the company in 1953, and when Horton died the same year the company was left without and artistic director. It was then that Ailey stepped forward and took the role. At the young age of 22, he began choreographing, directing scene and costume designs, and running rehearsal and he also directed one of the shows for the company. Read more.
Ailey formed his own group, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, in 1958. The company was soon nicknamed the "Cultural Ambassador to the World" because of their extensive international touring. One of Ailey's most well-known performances and his masterpiece was "Revelations," which is also believed to be the best in modern dance performances. Ailey was awarded the Spingarn Medal from the NAACP in 1977. He also received the Kennedy Center Honors in 1988, just one year before his death. In 2014, President Barack Obama selected Ailey to be a posthumous recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
According to his bio on biography.com Ailey died at the age of 58 on December 1, 1989, at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. At the time, The New York Times reported that he had suffered from "terminal blood dyscrasia, a rare disorder that affects the bone marrow and red blood cells." It was later revealed that Ailey had died of AIDS.
Ailey still continues to be an important figure in the arts through the ballets he created and the organizations he founded. The dancers with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater have performed for millions of people around the world and countless others have seen their work.
