Americans Can't Read or Write/
The title is somewhat misleading. Most Americans can read and write—they just happen to do both quite poorly. Americans in general cannot read or write well.
However, there are still illiterate Americans today, even with all the available education. In fact, illiteracy is worse than previous generations. But more important than illiteracy is that those who are able to read cannot read well. To show just how bad this is, some studies suggest incoming college students only read at a 6th or 7th grade level. (Here is a chart with some scary statistics about American literacy.)
It should not come as a surprise then that most Americans are also poor writers. (If you can't read well, how will you write well?) This is evidenced by the number of high school teachers and college professors who complain about their students' writing. In general, most college students are just terrible at writing papers. And these are supposed to be America's "educated."
Why Can't Americans Read or Write?
The answer to this problem is quite simple. Americans cannot read or write well because they do not read or write often. Reading and writing are both skills that take practice. They require a working knowledge of the English language. No one is born with these skills. Rather, a person acquires them over time and with repetition.
Particularly concerning here is that reading and writing do not take that much work to become proficient in. They are skills that children learn at a young age, and they can easily be developed with regular practice. Just reading for 15 minutes a day can develop one's reading ability. This shows just how little Americans read.
Schools deserve some blame here. Phonics has always been the best method to learn a language (learning how letters together make sounds). However, John Dewey made popular the look-say method (memorizing how words sound)—which has been disastrous. What should be a simple task that parents can teach their own children is now difficult for many kids.
Short reading and writing assignments should be part of almost every course at every level. But unfortunately, even when schools give such assignments, many students do not do them. So some of the blame here also belongs to parents.
Reading Requires Discipline
Educational leaders now speak of "curing" illiteracy, which is sad because these are skills basic to every level of education. Reading and writing are really just tools for learning. Just being able to do them is not in and of itself education. The fact that students attend schools for years and do not develop these skills raises the question—what are kids even doing in school?
That being said, school should not be the only (or even the primary) place were children read. Reading should happen in the home. Yet sadly, we no longer have a culture of reading in America. Most people do not read as a hobby anymore. Newspaper sales are down (though online news is up), and most Americans are lucky to read a book or two a year. And what they do read is fiction at a middle school reading level!
A major problem here is modern media. As if TV was not a big enough distraction, the Internet has made things even worse. Most Americans now live in a world where they spend little time in their day with no media distraction. The TV is on in the house for most waking hours, and people are addicted to their cell phones (and computers and iPads). Adults are responsible for their own choices here. But when TV and phones are a problem for children, parents deserve the blame.
Our modern society is in a much different position from prior generations. Before TV was invented, reading was the only option for learning about the world. The options were either sit there doing nothing or pick up something to read. But today, reading requires greater discipline and focus. One has to intentionally turn off the TV and phone and set aside time for a book. But human nature teaches us that most people will take the easier route. Distractions make it hard to read, so many people just don't do it at all.
The Value of Reading and Writing
That most Americans cannot read or write well makes these skills even more valuable. Many jobs require a high level of reading and/or writing. As time goes on, fewer people will be qualified to do these jobs well, making reading and writing highly esteemed skills. Further, a high level of education in any subject requires a high level of reading and/or writing. Few people are thus able to attain such education because of limited reading and writing skills (or schools just lower the standards . . . ).
There will always be some people who are still able to read and write at a high level. More of the concern today is the masses. The majority of people may not need a high level of reading or writing to survive in this world. However, they and our society are worse off because of their failure to read. Those who do not read are often uninformed and misinformed. This is why we see so much ignorance among the American public.
The news outlets either slant information or give only half the story. Citizens therefore need to read from a variety of sources, including books. But people who don't read books will not be exposed to much of the truth that is covered up or forgotten by the gatekeepers of political correctness (the media and public schools). The people, like sheep, will then go along with whatever the pundits tell them. Americans have reached a new low in this regard, seen in the popular belief in things like the gender wage gap. This myth has been completely demolished, yet the majority goes on believing it.
The problem in America is not illiteracy—the problem is a-literacy. It's not that Americas cannot read; it's that they don't. And non-readers make less informed and less reasonable citizens. And less reasonable citizens do not question what the government or the leftist media tells them. Instead, they follow the waves of the times. It doesn't matter if there are good arguments against same-sex marriage or the welfare state—they have never taken the time to read them.
But there is reason for hope. We are not all doomed to a life of sheep-like obedience to the state. Even if our own upbringing created bad habits for us, we can break them. We can shut the TV off, put our phones aside, and pick up a book and read. There are many great books out there on fascinating subjects. Even if it's an easy reading level, it's better to start somewhere. Then we can pass this habit on to our children. We can create a culture of reading. We as individuals, our families, and our society will be the better for it.

The executive's strategy, Moving Forward, is based on a plan to get more young people involved through youth work and, in so doing, improve their chances. More than 2,500 responded to the consultation which helped shape the strategy.
"Young people are full of potential. We must make sure that every one of them gets the right support to develop their talents and the chance to have challenging experiences, build their confidence, widen their horizons and set them off successfully on life's journey," said Mr Brown.
Shona Macdonald, above, has a masters degree in environmental biology but her lack of experience was making jobs hard to find. ProjectScot-land helped her become a volunteer ranger for National Trust Scotland.
"The best part is getting hands-on experience," she says.
Over the year, the Executive has made the following commitments: Provide Pounds 500,000 to help build the capacity of youth organisations and improve training for youth volunteers; Give pound;5 million funding to improve facilities for young people; Appoint a co-ordinator who will work with schools and youth workers to strengthen links across the sectors.
Set up a Youth Opportunities Fund of pound;2.5 million so that young people can run local events, projects and volunteer campaigns;

That's according to Hays CEO, Alistair Cox, who in his latest LinkedIn Influencer blog notes that the vast majority of research on Millennials (those born between 1982 and 1994) focuses on the younger end of this generation rather than those now in their early thirties.
According to Alistair, Millennials in their early 30's are at a different stage of their lives, and as such will have different motivations when it comes to work. As this important group is beginning to reach the middle-management tier, businesses must focus on these workers to avoid a succession time bomb.
Alistair says, "Older Millennials are often now on the cusp of moving into crucial middle-management roles, and yet they are often neglected in a business' thinking and their own development could be suffering. If businesses continue on this path, they risk losing their next generation of managers and potential future leaders."
Alistair continues, "I believe that succession planning needs to start at the beginning of a career, not halfway through it. At Hays for instance we are constantly planning for the future to ensure a robust leadership talent pipeline is an integral part of our strategy across all areas of our business."
Hays share the following 5 retention tips for older Millennials:
• Build real purpose into your brand
Helping employees believe in what a company is trying to achieve and understanding its goals will in turn encourage loyalty among staff. Alistair adds, "Ensuring they buy into your corporate culture encourages continued loyalty, especially in your middle-management generation. To achieve that, you must ensure your company's external brand positioning stands for something authentic and credible – and that you can articulate this in a simple, engaging way to existing and new employees."
• Hone their leadership skills
Soft skills are extremely important, particularly when it comes to leadership roles. Developing middle-managers by giving them extra responsibility is crucial to feeding that talent pipeline. Alistair says, "I would always recommend keeping your Millennial managers close to the very senior levels of your organisation. Involving them in senior-level meetings will both empower them and also provide a direct feedback loop into senior leadership on issues and ideas."
• Embrace the entrepreneurial mind-set
Many mid-level employees are moving away from corporate businesses and instead working for start-ups. This suggests that employees prefer the entrepreneurial spirit found at start-ups and corporate organisations must find a way of attracting these employees back – just because you're a corporation doesn't mean the workplace environment can't be fun. Alistair adds, "Enabling them to act 'like an owner' will not only give them this control but also get the best out of them too, and will help to bring fresh thinking and new ideas to your business."
• Evolve your workplace
Businesses must ask themselves, what makes a workplace an attractive place to work? Many Millennials look for flexibility and so offering flexible or remote working can go a long way. Alistair adds, "There is a need to find a way of accommodating the Millennials' desire for greater flexibility as it is real, it's perfectly understandable and you will attract and retain them better if you can jointly find the optimal flexible options that meet everyone's needs."
• Nurture your alumni
Despite a business's best efforts some talent will always move on, this could be for many reasons, but it is important that the it is on good terms. As those leaving the business can become external ambassadors and they may even return themselves one day. Alistair says, "Staff retention of strong performers should be the aim of every business, but it's inevitable that some gifted employees will eventually move onto new pasture. Remember though that they may not be on your payroll anymore, but they are still potentially valuable to you."
Attraction and retention of these important Millennials needs to be given some real thought by organisations before it is too late and the talent has headed for the exit. Alistair closes by saying, "With growing concerns around skills shortages in middle management and Millennial discontent seemingly at a tipping point, now is the time for businesses to act and start addressing these concerns."

Pupils across the Prep School have celebrated another insightful Spring Watch Week at Embley. This year, we have been supported by Hampshire Ornithological Society (HOS).
The week began with an assembly by Dr Patricia Brown from HOS, who introduced the children to a variety of nests and nesting habitats. Year 6 looked at the flight of birds and were lucky enough to use a machine designed by NASA (used originally to test flight theory)to launch their own paper birds. The children learned about the different flight patterns of birds as well as the forces that affect a bird in flight. Years 3, 4, and 5 took part in a bird trail around the school's 130-acre grounds and woodlands and, with the help of experts from HOS, they were able to identify many birds and their birdsong.
The Wiltshire Wildlife Trust visited Year 1 and pupils looked at bird skeletons to try and identify what they would eat by the shape of their beaks. Year 2 made Spring Watch badges, wrote poems about Spring and visited Paultons Park to take part in a workshop about classification of animals.
Reception took part in a nest building competition in the woods. Two teams worked together to collect sticks, twigs, roots, mud and leaves to build their own nests. The children used this week's learning to choose and discuss different materials. There was some wonderful and enthusiastic work and some important lessons in teamwork and competition.
We are also thrilled to have a little Nuthatch nesting in one of our nesting boxes and pupils are able to view her on our live webcam – pupils from Year 6 will be reporting regularly on her progress through the school's weekly newsletter to parents.

Back again for 2019, it's the amber energy Ryder Cup!
Now in its seventh year, amber energy's golf day is back and plans to be better than ever before!
Hosted once more at the prestigious Celtic Manor Resort Hotel, we'll be teeing off on the Roman Road Course with all funds raised going to support Power2Africa.
amber energy Ryder Cup
Thursday 16th May 2019
As networking events go, it doesn't get much more relaxed than this. We see a huge range of businesses attend, suppliers and clients, from global corporations through to local businesses. You'll have breakfast, lunch and dinner catered for you, as well as a round of golf and plenty of drinks as the evening winds on.
In true amber style, we'll be splitting into team USA and team Europe and the race for the title will be on. Last year the tide turned at the last minute, with team Europe being awarded the crown – a fact that was cemented in memory by Team Captain and Head of Procurement, Mark Corne, diving very majestically into the lake on the 18th hole of the Twenty Ten Course.
In aid of Power2Africa
This is the third year that we'll be raising funds for this cause, helping to support rural communities in Africa by providing them with access to clean power. We've already raised thousands which have helped to deliver a solar-powered cyber café, a shower block in a boarding school and have more projects planned for the up-coming year – including providing a school with clean electricity.
Naturally, there's golf. But for those who aren't inclined to strut the greens, we also have Adventure Golf (still counts as a golf day, right?) and a Ladies Spa package available.
Each event has its own agenda, which will be sent out on enquiry.
Everyone will come back together at the end of the day to enjoy a BBQ Garden Party Dinner. This is a great networking opportunity and is always a fun night, this year expect lots of garden games to be broken out!
Pricing for Golf Day 2019
Overnight Bed & Breakfast accommodation at The Celtic Manor Resort Hotel is available at an exclusive rate for amber energy, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com to enquire.

Sponsorship Packages
We also have a number of fantastic sponsorship opportunities available to showcase your brand at amber's Charity Ryder Cup that will enhance networking, raise brand profile and help you gain a competitive edge. We can't promise it will improve your golf though.

I invited my girlfriend over one day and decided to take her into my bedroom immediately! Anyone else sick of seeing the Kardashian family in their bikinis on Instagram? Nicki Minaj typically gets noticed for her crazy hair and wild outfits, but in September she had the brilliant idea of wearing an extra-cropped Moschino jacket mostly unbuttoned sans bra. We delve into a collection of truly funny jokes and update them daily along with the naked babe of the day. So, she had to bring her friend to do it for her.

After a while, she got down once again and started to blow my cock in the same way she did before. He lies flat on his back and the sexy naked babe straddles herself on top of him, squatting over him, impaling her tight cunt with his big cock and riding him in reverse cowgirl position. Kylie Jenner wouldn't be Kylie Jenner if she didn't post things like this. Placing her leg over the kitchen counter and bending her over, he pounds her tight clam with his big meaty pole.

On my way home from work last night, I saw a guy with flowers in his bookbag and it made me smile. I don't know if the flowers were for a partner or a parent but it got me thinking about love nonetheless.
Recently, someone I know got their heart broken... and it hurt me to know they were hurting. I gave advice but most of all, I wanted the person to know that love still exists. It exists all around us.
Love in any and every form -- whether it be between partners, parents and children, friends or family members -- is such a beautiful thing. And I don't ever think we should forget that. Because even when hearts are broken, hopes shattered, or dreams dashed... there is love.
Love to carry us. To help us. To hold us. To sustain us.
It is a gift and an honor to love and be loved, one I hope everyone gets to experience. It makes bad days okay and good days even better. It makes us sing a happy song or add a hop to our step. It makes us feel safe and secure. It helps us to grow and change and be who we are meant to be.
So to all those who are suffering from a broken heart, I want to remind you that there's still so much love around. Hold onto it. Squeeze it. Remember it. Cherish it.
Sending love from me to you. xoxo

|Image I took in November 2012 when First
Lady Michelle Obama came to campus.
It's so easy to be involved on campus, especially when there's such a wide array of events to attend and different organizations to participate in. There are so many groups on campus that put on their own programs each week, it's impossible to attend them all. I attended a lot more events then I listed, including sporting events, but these are the ones that stand out in my mind the most. My experiences at Miami so far have been mostly positive, and the events that I have participated in have helped create some of the best memories of my freshman year of college, and I'm looking forward to seeing what this year and the years to come have in store.

Rudrabhishek is an ancient chanting which was downloaded from the Aakasha (space). When the ancient sages and Rishis sat in meditation, they heard, and what they heard, they started transferring to other people.
The effect of Rudrabhishek is it creates positive energy and removes negative vibes. And a lot is said about the Rudrabhishek. When Rudrabishek happens nature flourishes, nature becomes joyful, happy.
Main thing is the vibration, that is it. If you ask me, Do you know the meaning of all the chants? I will say, I also dont know. Its the vibration of the chants that is important and then the meaning.
There are two parts, the first part says, Namo, namo, namo, namo!
Mana, means mind. The word mind in English comes from Sanskrit word Mana.
Nama is the reverse of the mind. The mind going to its source is called Nama.
When the mind goes outside to experience the world, it is Mana. So Nama. is the mind going back to its source.
When it goes to its source, what does it find? Everything is made up of one consciousness.
Now, what do the scientists today say? God Particle by which everything has been made. Thousands of years ago the Rishis said the same thing, that everything is made up of one thing, and that they called Brahman. that which is neither male nor female. It is nothing but a Tattva. Tattva means principle.

For many banks, non-maturing deposits represent a significant part of funding. However, there remains no commonly accepted approach to managing such deposits' interest rate risk. We introduce two dynamic hedge strategies to stabilise the margin between investment return and client coupon. As extensions of Jarrow and van Deventer's (1998) model, these strategies can be used for both interest rate risk management and funds transfer pricing.
An important goal in modelling non-maturing deposits11This chapter concerns deposit account types that lack a contractual maturity date. Examples are demand deposits, transaction deposits, negotiable order of withdrawal accounts, savings and money market deposit accounts. is to find an investment strategy22In this chapter the resulting investment portfolio is an imaginary portfolio, which is used to replace the non-maturing deposits on the liability side of the balance sheet for interest rate risk management. On the asset side the "real" investment portfolio, consisting of, eg, the loans the bank has originated, is used. that stabilises the margin independently of interest rate movements. Sales departments prefer a stable margin to help them

Here is what some of my past colleagues and current clients say about what it is like to work with me:
"Dave is a creative, passionate marketer who is able to keep the business goals at hand while driving go-to-market objectives. He is a solid and experienced marketing and sales leader who brings passion and energy to the early stage environment, capable of communicating with boards, executives and all levels of the enterprise."
"Dave was a key player in setting the strategic direction for the company and growing the company 4-fold in as many years. Dave drove many successful initiatives; revenue growth, strengthening of our brand, better engagement with our customers/community, and the development of a modern go-to-market capacity within the company. I would not hesitate to recommend Dave as a strategic partner and leader in the realm of Sales and Marketing."
"Within one month of diving in, Dave helped me define a simple vision, establish clear organization-wide KPIs and coach my marketing and sales team to success both as individuals and as team members. Dave brings a truly unique, passionate and effective combination of executive growth-hacker and leadership coach. I feel fortunate to be working with him now and can't wait to see how the bright future unfolds!"
"Dave astutely managed incredible growth in starting up Ableton's US office, but more important to me was forming the foundations for my career under his tutelage. He's also the first person to look to for advice on any subject, from business to jazz drumming."
"Dave led Ableton's US operations while I was Director of Direct Sales at Ableton's headquarter in Berlin. His track record has been exceptionally strong in various aspects: In sales results under Dave's tenure, Ableton's US business grew by orders of magnitude, and considerably faster than Ableton's worldwide business. Dave also took a leading role in shaping and pushing the Ableton brand, not only for the US market but globally. Also, he's one of those rare guys who manage to combine hardcore professionalism on the one side with being an incredibly relaxed, nice and fun guy to have around."
"Dave is a true marketer in that he is completely customer-focused and goes to great lengths to interview, survey, and otherwise intimately know who the customer is and what they want. He has extensive experience with content marketing (aka Inbound), and opts for content and methods that will actually make a difference to the customer and be useful to them, rather than gimmicky marketing devices to trick people into buying something. He also has an incredibly wide "big-picture" view of the marketing space and how to reach people. Dave taught me an enormous amount about marketing as we worked together, and he gave me a respect for the profession that I never really had. Dave also is a completely genuine human being, hardworking, and straightforward. I hope to be able to work with him again someday."
"Dave is a tireless advocate for the companies he works for. His sense of humor combined with industry acumen and technical know-how is always a winning combination within the audio/MI/entertainment industry. He was instrumental in our ongoing support of Ableton products with the DrumCore/KitCore line and plays a great role in my recommendations to others re: iZotope technology. Brand asset? YES!"
"Dave drew on his previous expertise to grow iZotope's sales and marketing departments tremendously. Before Dave came along, we had a very homegrown approach that only worked out based on the luck of the draw. Dave encouraged us to seek new markets and experiment with new strategies. His involvement was foundational to the growth we experienced in the years he was with us. He also helped build cross-functional bridges between marketing and sales to engineering, and was always approachable and down-to-earth."

We are bringing a wish for your birthday,
A wish and a hope and a prayer;
A wish that the day may be joyous and gay,
Unclouded by sorrow or care.
A hope that the year that is coming
Will bring many friends tried and true,
And know that the truest among them
Will never be truer than you
We have known your sweet, loving ways,
And we wish you the best in our hearts
May the remaining years be
The best of your days
Sixty-eight years of a well-spent life
Such a comfort to all should be;
We hope you may long be spared to us
And we a comfort to thee.
Long may sunshine round thee hover
Bright as that about thee now;
Never may a cloud of sorrow
Cast a shadow on thy brow.

Overcoming Sadness
This past Monday night, on the eve of the Gottesdienst conference, I sat around a table piled with food and booze alongside some fellow editors and other faithful pastors. There was much frivolity and laughter, babies and toddlers everywhere. Father Fritz Eckardt was there. He wasn't lecturing, he was simply reflecting, talking, but we were all wishing we had notepads. He told us again of his struggles over ten years ago and even earlier. I've heard these stories dozens of times and never grow tired of them. I sit in his presence with no less awe and admiration than I do for the shut-in who haltingly tells of landing in Normandy in the midst of artillery fire and discovering hours later that at some point he had soiled his pants and didn't know it.
In the midst of a particularly difficult and confused time, Father Eckardt made a profound discovery: the Psalter calmed and settled his mind. The peace that God's Word in the Psalter gave him returned his sanity and enabled him to carry out his duties at home and parish. He said, "That is when I knew I had to memorize the Psalms."
I knew this from him from conversations and from his writing. But it took on new tones for me. Part of that was because I have the same experience: the more I recite the Psalms the more I find them calming. Days without Matins feel as though they are about to spin out of control. But his words were still echoing in my mind the next day when Father Rick Stuckwisch said, "When I get in a funk, I find that singing, or even reading, the hymns of Paul Gerhardt calms my mind and comforts me."
The stories aren't the same. The struggles aren't identical. Neither are the cures. But there is a common thread that shouldn't be missed.
Fathers Eckardt and Stuckwisch are rightly recognized as two of our brightest, most articulate, and faithful pastors. Hundreds of us look to them for guidance and help, but like the vet who soiled himself at Normandy, their lives and ministries have had hardship and failings. Consider this, though: What happens when the vet tells you he soiled himself? Two things: it creates sympathy not derision, and it shows the character that overcomes rather than succumbs.
The vet was rightly scared and out of his mind, but he did his duty. Father Eckardt and Father Stuckwisch were rightly scared for their enemy is none other than the devil himself. They were suffering from terrible mental and spiritual anguish – as all who serve in the Office will at some point - but the Lord sustained them and brought them through with His Word. The Lord spoke to Father Eckardt, as He still does, in the Psalter, in tones and cadence that bring peace and comfort to his particular situation and personality. The hymns of Paul Gerhardt provide a parallel service to Father Stuckwisch. There, also, the Lord speaks comfort and order and purpose.
God, in His mercy, through the disciplines of daily, ordered prayer, gave custom-made and specific help in times of need to these two remarkable men. This does not mean that either man would not have been comforted by the other's medicine. There is an objectivity to the Psalter and also to the Gerhardt hymns, but I suspect that the Psalter is better suited for Father Eckardt than it is for Father Stuckwisch, and that the hymns are better suited the other way around. Here is what we should all note: the help came, in both cases, through the purposeful habit of prayer. Ask, says the Lord, and you shall receive.
Again, they weren't lecturing us when these things came up. But their examples are certainly instructive and encouraging. They are fathers in the faith and Office who have lived through and suffered more than others of us. What a joy it is to be with them when these things come out so naturally and unbidden! Pray the Psalter, brothers. Sing the Gerhardt hymns. Say your prayers – whether you feel like it or not. There is a promise there that has been demonstrated once again in these godly men. And if there is something akin to the Psalter or Gerhard hymns that has served you in a similar way please tell us about it in the comments.

History / Overview
If you have never read The Battle for Boondoggle, please when you have a spare moment, read it. It is a document which very poignantly depicts the beginnings of our organization.
The Activities & Attractions Association is the result of a 2002 merger between AOA, (Activity Owners Association of Hawaii) and HAA, (Hawaii Attractions Association). AOA was founded in 1990 by a small but very dedicated group of activity providers. Their diligent efforts to unite the activities & attractions industry resulted in a strong statewide association that is currently considered the voice and legislative watchdog for the activities & attractions industry. HAA was founded in 1993 by an elite group of quality Oahu attractions, originally named Oahu Attractions Association. A synergy resulted in both Marketing and Lobbying efforts as the organization has combined into one. In 2000, we harnessed technology and created PonoRez to connect Membership with consumers, each other, and resellers.
The Activities & Attractions Association of Hawaii has nearly 200 members statewide. We work closely with each island's Visitors Bureau, taking an active role in promoting tourism through state and county agencies and the Chamber of Commerce. From the beginning, the A3H has focused on achieving specific goals relating to consumer protection issues and developing standards of excellence in the activities industry. Additionally, it has been successful in developing a wide range of collective marketing and benefit programs for its members, while lobbying for the industry's interests.

SYDNEY (AFP) - An Australian artist behind a larger-than-life mural of American rap star Kanye West embracing himself has offered to paint over it - for a sizable fee.
The 6.1m painting dubbed Kanye Loves Kanye features a black-suited image of the singer kissing another version of himself wearing a glittering pantsuit.
Artist Scott Marsh said he decided to paint the image after a friend did a mural of a nude Kim Kardashian selfie at one end of the wall and he wanted to create an artistic "link".
He said he was inspired by the internet meme which followed the infamous red carpet photograph of Kanye embracing Kim Kardashian in which the rapper's head was superimposed on his wife's body.
"It was pretty light-hearted," he told AFP of the mural made on March 19. "I suspect when you paint something big on a wall people tend to take notice of it."
He said he was contacted by someone via e-mail claiming to represent West, asking him to remove the image, although he was not convinced it was genuine.
Marsh, who has been painting on the wall in the Sydney suburb of Chippendale for several years, said he was open to whitewashing the mural for US$100,000 (S$134,000).
Whoever pays the fee will receive a one-off large print of the amorous embrace, in which the image is mostly whited out, an offer Marsh said was open to anyone but may appeal to the global superstar.
"If you pay that I will also paint over the wall," he said.
The mural on Wednesday drew a number of onlookers to the quiet lane, with 22-year-old Stephanie Brown saying she took a short detour to snap the image she said was "a reflection of society".
Mr Quintin Fawcett, a 20-year-old axe and saw maker visiting Australia from New Zealand, said he too was aware of the mural and thought "I might as well come and have a look".
Said Marsh: "It highlights how crazy people are for the cult of celebrity that I can paint a 20-foot mural in Chippendale and it's global news."

This app holds a lot of promise, however, its lack the polish and refinement that the paid ones have. I have reached out to the developers for nearly 3-days straight and all I ever got were the chat attendants. Even the simplest of tasks were never addressed. All that to say, the support for this app is severely lacking! The use of pop-ups is not ideal, and the lack of key visual feedback (toggle-on and toggle-off) is a real shortcoming. Its too bad the developers don't take the time to listen to their customers, otherwise this would have been an awesome app.

Critic Josh Kun once described singer and songwriter Greg Brown as "a Midwestern existentialist hobo with a quick-draw mouth, a bloodied heart, and bourbon on his breath." One of the leading contemporary folk artists of the American Midwest, Brown's music reflects a poetic spirit while also sounding thoroughly down to Earth; his deep, craggy voice expresses quirky humor and the mysteries of life and love with equal skill, and over the course of a career that's spanned more than five decades, he's earned a passionate following for his heartfelt and uncompromising music.

As Ontario PC leadership race kicks off, Christine Elliott scores big endorsement
Allison Jones, The Canadian Press
Published Saturday, November 8, 2014 8:16AM EST
Last Updated Saturday, November 8, 2014 8:10PM EST
TORONTO -- The race to replace former Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak launched in earnest Saturday with an endorsement from former premier Bill Davis.
MPP Christine Elliott scored the nod from the Tory titan, who helped her open her campaign office, along with federal Conservative MPs and seven of her fellow caucus members.
Davis said he knows Elliott and knew her late husband, former federal finance minister Jim Flaherty, very well.
"The thing that I think is so admirable about Christine is not her function as somebody who's a member of the house, it is her understanding of the needs of people with some difficulties," Davis said.
"She's mainly associated with some of those less fortunate than ourselves and that's the kind of person you love to see in public life and you love to see as leader of our party."
In off-the-cuff remarks that were part stand-up comedy, part endorsement, the 85-year-old former premier said Elliott has the "nature, ability and the sensitivity" the party needs in its leader.
"So that's why I'm here," he said. "I'm also here because my wife said, 'If you're not there, you're in trouble."'
The former premier said he wouldn't "take any shots at the other possible candidates," but later added that he would be surprised if Doug Ford, brother of outgoing Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, entered the race.
Ford has said he is considering throwing his hat into the ring. A "Draft Doug Ford" campaign and accompanying website has been started by an unknown group of people calling themselves a grassroots movement.
"I'd be very surprised if he is," Davis said when asked about the possibility of Ford entering the race. "I'm not going to say anymore because I might say something wrong."
The deadline for registering as a leadership candidate is Jan. 30 at noon.
Elliott said she wishes Ford well if he chooses to throw his hat in the ring, but she is concentrating on her own campaign.
Hudak stepped down in June after the party's second consecutive election loss to the Liberals under his leadership. Many Tory members of the provincial legislature had complained they were not told about the party's election pledge to cut 100,000 public-sector jobs until hours before Hudak announced it in the first week of the campaign.
The promise dominated the headlines for weeks and prompted public-sector unions to launch unprecedented anti-Tory campaigns, including a series of attack ads that saturated TV and radio.
Elliott said the party has been "drifting for some time" and should get back to its basic and progressive values.
"I think people are looking for balanced, mature leadership because they know we have many economic problems in the province of Ontario," she said. "I want to concentrate on solving our economic problems, at the same time having the kind of social compassion that I think people haven't always identified with our party."
Four other candidates have declared their intention to run for the leadership, but today marks the first day they can file their nominations for the May leadership vote. MPPs Vic Fedeli, Monte McNaughton and Lisa MacLeod are vying to lead their party, as is federal Conservative MP Patrick Brown.
Party members will vote by preferential ballot on either May 3 or May 7 and the results will be announced May 9 at the party's leadership convention in Toronto.
Each of the five declared candidates is already out selling $10 memberships to the party, and whichever signs up the most new members stands the best chance of winning the leadership.
This marks Elliott's second attempt to lead the party -- she finished third when Hudak won the Tory leadership in 2009. She first entered politics in 2006, winning a byelection in Whitby, east of Toronto, when Flaherty vacated the seat to run federally. It became the first time in Canadian history that a husband and wife represented the same riding at the provincial and federal levels.

This post is so LAST year...and actually its this year too. I rang in the New Year with The American Idiots at Gaspar's Grotto. My day of course started normal and only got crazier. Our beach trip turned into six stitches for my son and then I actually did "cat eye" make up with success (a definite first,) followed shortly by being pulled over on the way and finally arriving at said destination around 10pm. If you know me, my normal bedtime is around 10pm..okay more like 11pm so being out this late is kind of a big deal.
I arrived and discovered that Gaspars has not one outdoor space but two, and of course I went to the opposite one I should have first-that's how it usually happens right-and found the band. I met their entourage and got all set up while I waited for 'kick off'. Their crew was full of great people. Of course I knew already I would like them because I found by going to their facebook page that not only are they a Green Day cover band, but they rock Blink 182 as well-which makes me very happy. They had my heart the minute they played Eve 6 and Lit though. As soon as I heard "Inside Out" my inner late 90s into 2000s fan girl tried to come out in the form of a squeal. Having no close acquaintances around to pull the fanatic "this is my jam" or "OMG I LOVE this song!" lines, I kept myself together and kept it professional-because I am just that no matter how much I wanted dance it out. I settled for singing while taking pictures. Multitasking at its finest.
They rocked throughout the night despite a crazy pink bunny jumping on stage with them and being all silly. Of course they knew this would happen-I did not, so it was a fun surprise. I had to cringe at the older gentleman who got too drunk and literally flew across the floor face planting and breaking his nose at least-but had to smile and resist high five-ing him when he attempted to keep on rocking out as a towel was held over his face and he was forced to remain seated. Way to go out with a bang dude! The New Year rolled in with of course a ball drop and lots of couples kissing-always a sweet thing to see-and I even got to toast with the band and friends to kick off the new year. Basically, it was a great time with lots of laughs and interesting moments that only drunk people can make happen! It was a blast.
I recommend you go see them if they are playing near you and you should probably stalk them on facebook-I am positive they won't mind! Seriously, go now and show some support. Here is the link in case you missed it above. Right Here.
Oh, you didn't come here for my giddy recount of the night and the side story of how i totally made a spotify playlist the very next day of all the bands they kindly played and made me fall in love with again? You came here for pictures. Well fine, have it your way. Enjoy!
Oh you wanted MORE pictures...fine then, see if i tell you a story again! Click here for the full gallery-Thanks for stopping by!

Kirsty Williams, leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats has said there is no justification for banning e-cigarettes in public places and it would be an "infringement of people's personal liberty."
She was leading a debate by individual members on 14 May 2014 when she said "I was supportive of the smoking ban" but the main reasons used by smokers for using electronic cigarettes are "to help them stop smoking or helping them stay stopped."
