Entertainment of Wednesday, 13 September 2017
Source: Flex Newspaper
Born Charles NiiArmahMensah, Shatta Wale ever since his miraculous entry into the music scene, has single handedly taken the entertainment industry to a level that would have required thousands of individuals to achieve same results.
He recently added the moniker 'MAGIKHAL' to his list of titles, a title believed to have emerged from his enormous contribution not only to the entertainment industry but the country at large. His presence has been an eye-opener to other musicians who before his intervention made nothing or less from their God given talents, his attributions and contributions towards the industry cannot be overemphasized.
Shatta's creativity and versatility has seen him go the extra mile as far as entertaining his fans is concerned and has played diverse roles not only in the music circles but other sectors relating to entertainment. As a person who has the entertainment industry at heart, Shatta Wale in his quest to pump more energy in the movie industry picked up his first acting role in the movie 'Shattered lives' when he realized the movie sector had become slow and of course, his presence alone in that movie did the magic when for the first time in a very long time, over 5,000 copies of the said movie was out of stock and yet more copies were still being requested for.
Speaking to the producer of the movie, Mr. Jacob Marmon who doubles as the CEO of ghanaairtime.com and ghanasupermarket.com explained that, he is currently in a shock looking at the number of copies that have been sold out and the number of people still demanding for the movie.
"I don't know the exact words to use, I mean from 2016 last year when the movie was produced, it has remained the hottest till date and has broken several records with regards to movie premieres in this country. What makes the movie so different from other movies aside its renowned actors and actresses is that, though it was made in English, it has a 'TWI' dubbed version all in one CD case" he explained.
He further continued to say, Shatta Wale's splendid performance in the movie was shockingly amazing and wasn't too much of a surprise when he became the first Ghanaian musician to win a movie award at the Golden Movie Awards in the 'DISCOVERY OF THE YEAR' category for his prodigious performance in the movie 'SHATTERED LIVES'
The movie starred famous acts like, Shatta Wale, BisaK'dei, Majid Michel, Martha Ankoma, Bismark the Joke amongst others and it is the first movie to have a sound track which was an instant hit because it featured Shatta Wale, Bisa K'dei and Mizter Okyere on a more danceable tune. This makes it more than a sound track but a powerful collaboration. The award winning movie tells an emotional story about domestic violence in relationships from both sides (the man and the woman). This makes it more interesting to watch and it leaves the viewer to make judgment after watching the movie.
Having stars like Shatta Wale, BisaK'dei, Majid Michel, Bismark the Joke, Martha Ankomah on a movie should only tell you the substance it is made of. Grab a copy and thank me later.

The Proof and the Power of the Resurrection part 1
The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the literal the capstone of Christianity. Besides fulfilling each and every biblical prophecy that Scripture mandates of the Messiah, Jesus' crowning triumph was that He indeed DID raise from the dead - and not just spiritually, as so many liberal theologians, heretics, and uninformed religionists have postulated. The God-man from Nazareth beat death, he defeated Hell, and He conquered the grave, and He offers the same to whosoever places their trust in Him as Savior, Messiah, and Lord. This is perhaps our greatest reason for our hope as Christians. However, many Believers fail to confidently present reasons and evidence for this, the lynchpin of our faith.
This week on Take A Stand Radio we're going to examine the "Proof and the Power of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ" and why every Christian has great reason to celebrate and give bold witness of His triumph over the grave each and every day! Make sure to tune in!

Speaking of the American Jobs Act, Representative Johnson noted,
"As a senior member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I am especially glad to see that the President has maintained his unwavering commitment to modernizing American infrastructure. The American Jobs Act will make an immediate investment of at least $2.5 billion for infrastructure modernization that will repair and modernize our existing highways, rail and transit in the state of Texas. This investment would support at least 33,000 local Texas jobs."
Turning her attention towards the Rebuild the American Dream jobs framework, Congresswoman said the following:
"This bold plan champions several job-creating bills that seek to encourage manufacturing in America: Investments in research and innovation so that America will lead the green industrial revolution; fair taxes; infrastructure investment; and preparation of our youth so that they will be prepared for the jobs of the future."
Representative Bernice Johnson is a co-sponsor of a bill to come from the jobs framework titled, "The Emergency Jobs to Restore the American Dream Act." You can read more about the framework, here.
The following message was released a little over two weeks ago on September 15, 2011:

"Animal Crackers" in Whitinsville, MA
1 day ago
You mean you don't have a figurine of Zeppo???
(And what is Harpo holding in his right hand?)
I've yet to see any 3D likeness of Zeppo. It would be a great addition to the collection. Harpo is holding a taxi horn. You're looking at the horn en face.
Oh, I bet figures like that are expensive these days? Gosh, I'd love to have a set myself...ReplyDelete

Out of Time-The Secret of the Swan is my first novel. Although it was originally aimed at children and young people, it has gained a strong adult following, attracting those who enjoy adventure fantasy stories. The story is set in the amazing and beautiful Furness peninsula, particularly around the magnificent Furness Abbey. All the places mentioned in the story are real and so are many of the historical events and characters, however, the story is essentially a work of fiction.
As a teacher I hope the book will engage children and encourage them not only to read but to explore their environment and heritage. I have been delighted that schools both in this country and further afield have used the book in the classroom as a reading book, guided reading and as a stimulus for cross curricular work. As an avid reader of fantasy and historical fiction I have written a book which I would like to read myself. The book is the first of a series of four.

When I saw this frame lit in the new Occasions catalog from Stampin' Up!, I just knew that it was going on my list of "must haves"! I think that I will get a lot of mileage out of it for many different types of cards too.
For this one I used the new Blushing Bride Glimmer paper in the catalog, it is so pretty in real life. I also used the stamp set Bloomin' Love, in Blushing Bride ink, for the sentiment and then I used the stamp set, Timeless Textures, with Sahara Sand, which I stamped off once, so that the images would not overpower the focal point, the heart. The Blushing Bride pleated ribbon is some from a couple years ago, so long ago retired. Then to finish it off, I added some Basic Pearls to the middle of each solid heart. Card stock is Very Vanilla, which I lightly sponged the edges with Sahara Sand and Blushing Bride.
I hope the teacher who receives it from Wesley will like it! Thank you for coming to see me too. Mary

Spammers Use Blogger
I have to temporarily block blogspot.com URLs because Blogger sites have begun spamming my trackbacks. Using a number of different sites, Blogger spam has flooded my site this morning. At first, I tried blocking the specific site URLs, but apparently Blogger has allowed a number of commercial sites to spam other bloggers. Until they fix their problem and block access to spammers, I have to keep the block on CQ. If your blog is part of the Blogger community, you may want to write Google (Blogger's owner) and tell them to clean up their act.
Here are some examples: http://pzwjynf.blogspot.com/

When should I consider an AUS?
The procedure
How is the AUS implanted?
For the procedure you usually receive spinal anaesthesia, but in some cases you may be recommended general anaesthesia. First, the doctor inserts a catheter to make sure that your bladder is completely empty during the procedure.
The doctor makes an incision in the perineum to place the cuff around the urethra. Then the doctor inserts the reservoir through a second incision in the lower abdomen. Finally, the pump is positioned in the scrotum, and is connected to the other two elements of the device. The cuff is left open until the doctor activates it a few weeks later.
How to prepare for the procedure
Before the surgery the doctor will ask for a urine sample to make sure you do not have a urinary tract infection. If you have an infection, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics before, during, and after the operation.
Your doctor will advise you in detail about how to prepare for the procedure. If you need general anaesthesia you must not eat, drink, or smoke for 6 hours before surgery. If you are taking any prescribed medication, discuss it with your doctor. You may need to stop taking it several days before surgery. Your doctor will advise you on when you can start taking it again.
After the procedure
How long will it take me to get back to my daily activities?
The doctor will generally remove the catheter the day after the surgery and monitor your recovery. You may have to take antibiotics to prevent an infection. If you are able to urinate without any problems and there is not much residual urine in the bladder, you will be discharged from the hospital. The length of hospital stay can vary in different countries.
After you leave the hospital, your body still needs time to fully recover from surgery. Because of this, the AUS will not be activated until your lower urinary tract has completely healed. This means that in the weeks after the procedure you will continue to have urine leakage. During this time you may also experience pain in the pelvic area, or feel pain when you urinate. Your doctor can prescribe medication to deal with these symptoms.
The doctor will schedule an appointment to activate the device 4-6 weeks after surgery.
During the recovery period your doctor may recommend to:
- Drink 1-2 litres every day, especially water
- Not lift anything heavier than 5 kilograms
- Not do any heavy exercise
- Take showers instead of baths
- Avoid thermal baths, or going to the sauna
- Prevent constipation by adapting your diet
- Avoid sexual activity
- Avoid cycling or horseback riding.
After AUS implantation, you will need a specifically designed seat to prevent the pump from accidentally activating during these activities.
You need to go to your doctor or go back to the hospital right away if you:
- Develop a fever
- Are unable to urinate on your own
- Have heavy blood loss or pain
- Notice the wounds start to bleed or leak transparent fluid, or hurts
- Notice swelling, pain, or redness in the scrotum

I'm back I'm back! You can let that breath out!
The reason I skipped posting yesterday is because…I had a DATE! Pretty exciting stuff, huh?
Ok, maybe you didn't miss me as much as I missed you :).
First, lemme quickly recap a few particularly tasty workday eats I had in the last two days:
For lunch yesterday, I ordered a lightened/modified version of one of my favorite sammies.
House-cooked, thinly sliced roast beef with lettuce and swiss on whole wheat bread. I ordered a side of Thousand Island Dressing and combined the two to recreate some of the flavors of the classic Reuben, without the usual coma-inducing side effects.
Today's breakfast was a repeat from my first post, but in case you somehow (?!) missed it
Toasted whole wheat English muffin, with 1tbs almond butter per half, topped with sliced banana and cinnamon. You can barely see my orange juice/seltzer combo vying for attention in the back right corner. I usually save that combo for special occasions/recycling guilt purposes, but I was craving it, and I've learned it's never a good idea to ignore your cravings–for healthy OR unhealthy food (in moderation). If you want it that badly, your body probably needs something from it!
And then my lunch today was my own creation!
I initially ordered a salad for lunch, but when hunger time rolled around I decided I wanted something I could pick up and bite into, ya know? So, I rummaged around the work kitchen and found the perfect companions for the side of avocado that I'd ordered as well. Toasted multigrain bread, swiss cheese and hummus created the perfect little underbelly for my 'cado. Lightly salted, heavily pepped (the way I roll!).
All three of these meals and their accompaniments were fantastic!
Onto the main event…
I decided when I began this blog that I would not go into too much detail about my dating/personal life, until someone comes along that really makes his presence unavoidable. This choice is out of respect for my suitors, assuming there is a potential that one of them will become a part of my life at some point, and I wouldn't want them to have been publicly picked apart! As I will reiterate in my next post, I believe that one of the most important aspects of dating is being respectful of your date, no matter how you end up feeling about them (there ARE rare exceptions to this, and I may share an anonymous story or two eventually if you do your homework and eat your veggies).
So I won't be pouring my heart out, but suffice it to say that last night was date # 2 with this particular human, and we had a lovely time :).What I WILL tell you about is the good stuff anyway–the food! I mean c'mon, we all know that one of the best part about dating is the free dinners (hey, I'm only human).
My date suggested The Mermaid Inn for this rendezvous, which I thought was a fabulous choice in our recently-defrosted city.
The Mermaid Inn is a well-known seafood restaurant in the hoppin' East Village, with a dockside menu and several areas of outdoor seating that make you feel like you're on a beach vacation (sighhhh).
Our choices for the evening included the following:
- Lobster Knuckle "Escargot" with grilled country bread, parsley and garlic butter: I nodded enthusiastically when he ordered this, while my mind scrambled to figure out whether or not lobsters actually have knuckles and where they would be located if so. I never got my answer, but thankfully these rich, flavorful little morsels were delicious!
- Roasted Local Skate with spring peas, organic baby carrots and carrot puree: I couldn't find a picture of this, but despite the elementary school-style peas n' carrots accoutrement, the piece of skate was tender, generously portioned and tasty.
- Lastly, the famous Lobster Sandwich on a Griddled Bun with Old Bay Fries:
Nice attempt, but NO lobster sandwich can compare to Luke's Lobster, a stone's throw away in the East Village. Luke's basically serves an entire heaping lobster's worth of meat on each buttery, sweet hot dog bun, and will leave you contemplating in all seriousness whether or not the pimply high school kid who served you your slice of heaven has a girlfriend.
The fries were the salvation of this Mermaid Inn dish, but Old Bay could make my knuckles taste good, so not sure how much it truly compensates.
All in all, an enjoyable but not particularly memorable meal (foooood wise :)). I cannot say that I would recommend The Mermaid Inn solely based on its everyday menu, but it gets major points for ambiance during the warm months. And although I haven't participated, a scan of their reviews revealed some AWESOME sounding specials:
- 7 days a week, The Mermaid Inn has a "HAPPY HOUR": 5:30-7:00 Monday through Thursday, 5:00-7:00 Friday through Sunday. During this time, a selection of beer, wine and cocktails are offered at a solid discount. To accompany your beverage, East Coast oysters are $1, and they have a bar menu with delightful sounding snacks such as shrimp corndogs with creole mustard and coleslaw, and mini blackened tilapia tacos with avocado and smoked jalapeno. Yum!
- Even BETTER, every Sunday they offer "LOBSTERPALOOZA": $24 for a pound and a quarter lobster with grilled corn on the cob and red bliss potatoes.
As you might have noticed, I am a lobster FIEND, so I will definitely be trying the second option at some point!
The best part about this night was simply sitting on the restaurant's back patio amidst twinkling white lights, enjoying a cool glass of Sauvignon Blanc and having a fantastic conversation. Can't put a price on that!
And speaking of lights, my preparation for this date caused a MAJOR light bulb moment while I was getting ready that morning. If you're a single workin' lady, you'll wanna tune in for my next post!

At least the sun is back. We had 5 or 6 straight days of rain. Which means no biking, no long walks through the forest...BUT...it does mean the workshop is now open for business!
to polished!
...polished! * The base is made of soapstone as are the pieces above. Soapstone comes in a variety of colours - I really like the rich browns in this piece. I didn't alter the quartz.
In progress...(this is the sculpture that I took the piece off of which became the leaf). More shaping to be done before I begin to polish...
This one is partially polished...will finish tomorrow. I am going to place this one in a shadow box as it is a thin relief sculpture and needs support. I like the other side better but didn't photograph it for some reason.
This one is partially shaped; will work on it more tomorrow.
Future works of art :) Both are quite large so I will be taking a hammer and chisel to them first to make several sculptures out of both - I prefer to work with small pieces.
This is week two in the shop - I am quite pleased with what I've accomplished so far. As they say...it keeps me off the streets!

One cold winters night many months ago, a group of ad girls shut up shop and headed down the road to Carriageworks to check out what The Finders Keepers Markets had to offer. Lots, it seemed! Emerging artists and designers from all over the country had come together for a festival of creativity to present innovative, independent work.
While my designer friends oooh-ed and ahhh-ed over the quality of work, I found myself somewhat distracted by the array of culinary delights on offer. Fashion, design, food, music and friends? A Friday night well spent!
What, I hear you say, this post is out of date? While this may be true, consider this an early invitation to join me at the Christmas Finders Keepers, held in Sydney on 6th-7th December.

I began pursuing a holistic, sustainable lifestyle in 1988 at age 23 on a certified organic farm/meditation center. When I was 27 my wife became pregnant, and I was determined to care for all of my family's health needs. I began poring over books on herbalism, homeopathy and nutrition. Throughout these years each time I encountered essential oils, I intuitively pulled back, knowing these bottles contained potency that required knowledge before opening.
Upon meeting an aromatherapist in 2004, I felt the assurance that time had come for me to begin my journey with these "Genies in the Bottle". After spending thousands of dollars on essential oils from around the world, I came back to herbalism's second rule: "The medicine you need is always just a few steps away." I knew being able to create essential oils myself with local plants would be beneficial on many levels. In 2008 I invested in a 50 gallon unit not knowing a lick about distillation or chemistry.
I have loads of hands-on, practical experience and a passion for wellness and health for myself and fellow human beings. I understood early in life "the Art of Living is to make Life your Art."

VA repo homes investing is very profitable. If you are interested in VA repo homes but have no clue on how to get started, you are not alone. There are thousands of people just like you. Fortunately, understanding VA repo homes is very easy to do, and after you know the basic meaning, you will be able to move forward with your purchase.
VA repo homes are properties that the Veterans Affairs Office guarantees to lenders; they never actually issue the loan to the veteran of war, they just guarantee it. Therefore, VA repo homes come about when the owner defaults on the mortgage. The VA repo home then pays off the bank, and assumes full ownership of the home. VA homes for sale are then usually sold back to the public at an auction.
VA repo homes can be among the best forclosure homes deals that are offered in the real estate industry today. The reason that VA repo homes make good buys is because they are sold to the public at real estate auctions. This allows anybody to buy VA repo homes without much hassle at all. All you will need to know is how much you are willing to pay for VA repo homes, and then bid accordingly. If you have the highest bid, the forclosed home will be yours. VA repo homes can often times be bought for up to 30% off of the market value.
VA repo homes are some times in bad shape because the past owner neglected to take care of them. If this is the case, make sure you know exactly what you are getting yourself into before you bid on VA repo homes. You will want to be certain that you can either live in the house, or make the necessary repairs to resell.
If you are searching for VA repo homes, and want a comprehensive list, you will want to become a member of an online service such as Foreclosure-Auction.net. This site will give you access to thousands of VA repo homes. The database is updated on a daily basis so you only see the most detailed up to date listings. A seven day trial membership is being offered for anybody that wants to find VA repo homes today, without delay.

NHS workers are gearing up for their third and biggest walk-out yet over a pay dispute.
Union members will go on strike from 9am to 9pm on Thursday, January 29, and ambulance staff will strike from noon until midnight.
They will then work to rule between Friday, January 30, and Tuesday, February 24, which means they will be working their contracted hours, will take their breaks and not do unpaid overtime.
This will be followed a 24-hour strike on Wednesday, February 25.
Workers are taking action because the government has refused to award a one per cent pay rise that was recommended by an independent pay review panel.
As a result union members staged four-hour strikes in October and November last year.
Tony Jones, Unison south east regional head of health, said: 'We warned months ago that this dispute is here to stay unless the government and NHS employers are prepared to negotiate with us.
'We decided not to take strike action over the Christmas period as services were already at breaking point at this time. Our members are demonstrating their concern for patient safety. I only wish the employers and government would do the same.
'Instead they are being completely irresponsible by refusing to have meaningful negotiations on how we resolve this dispute. And they are putting patients lives at risk.
'Our members' pay has been frozen or held down for the past five years and there is no end in sight. On average, they have lost around 10 per cent in the value of their pay over the life of this parliament.
'We now have no option but to escalate and plan for longer strikes. The anger among health workers has reached levels where they are now ready to walk out for 24 hours.
'NHS staffs have been singled out by this coalition government for the worst treatment across the public sector.
'Other groups will get their recommended pay increases – for MPs this is 11 per cent.'

We would be very surprised if Steve McClaren doesn't start the same team tomorrow that started against Southampton that did quite well last Sunday until the last 15 minutes when we seemed to tire, and also didn't help ourselves by giving the ball away too much.
Those are two areas Steve McClaren will be looking for an improvement in tomorrow at the Liberty Stadium.
Players pushing for a start include Aleksandar Mitrovic, Siem de Jong and Rolando Aarons, but the team last week played well and will be given another chance tomorrow.
This is what we think the team will be in a 4-2-3-1 formation:
Janmaat Coloccini (c) Mbemba Haidara
Colback Anita
Sissoko Wijnaldum Obertan
Subs: Darlow Taylor Tiote de Jong Aarons Mitrovic Perez
That's assuming Anita is fit again and he's been in training since Wednesday so he should be OK.
If we bring in another striker before September, wonder if MccLren will switch to a 4-4-2 formation?
What would your team be for tomorrow?
Comments welcome.

the answer is NO
this looks like another 2-2 tie. Haidara is a liability no defense. Really hope perez, SDJ or arrons start over ober. WOuld love to see colt 45 instead of cisse. He goes silent for most of the game. His goal was the first time he touched the ball and he WAS very lucky to get that oppurtunity
That's quite a bench you've got there Ed.
Would have Aarons and Mitrovich in the team though.
We still look short of a bit of wing class like Thauvin, Konoplyanka or Janusaj and certainly need a dominating tall, aggressive central defender who can consistently clear high balls coming into the box.
Hope we don't have to wait until NEXT summers window however.
Is the fighting over? Can I come out now?
Somebody stated on the last post that Pelle's goal was a good goal and would not have been defended against most teams. To be honest I would agree with this. Shane is also great for his leap and getting a head on goal…did it against England 😉
The fact that both goals were headers immediately leads to the height question. I think the real reason for the first goal was communication. Colo and Mbemba had never played together before, Colo was attracted to the ball and should have been called back by Mbemba. Mbemba was then caught in two minds between Pelle and Rodriguez coming in late. Again this is Janmaat who should give him the call.
That sort of situation is easily resolved and the more you play with somebody the more natural it gets. I think they just need time. Hopefully should see an improvement this week.
Well, I've gone for another 2-2 on my super6, which may well be a recurring scoreline for us this season. We have goals in us, both on the pitch and from the bench, but we also have defensive problems. I know a lot won't agree, but I would play Willo ahead of Collo until we find another tall centre back. In games when we've played against Carroll for example, Willo has never let him score if I'm not mistaken? Tomorrow it's Gomis, we need somebody to match his height and to jump with him at least. After watching Collo last week, I can't see Willo doing any worse – which says more about Collo than Willo really. Horses for courses. Mbemba can cover any speed threat through the middle, but with both goals last week coming from headers, like it or not – and I'm not exactly ecstatic about it – Willo offers better ariel cover.
I have us down for a draw in this one and I think it would be a really good result. I don't see any changes being made to the lineup unless Anita isn't fully recovered. Why change anything after a positive result last week?
Obertan got an assist and that's what he's there to do so it makes no sense to drop him, it sends out a bad message to the squad. If you do what you're supposed to, you keep your place. People need to realise this is not fantasy football and most managers don't chop and change every week.
Same 11 eh?
Not sure myself…IMO the only two positions with any flexibility in them is Obertan and Cisse…the rest pretty much pick themselves unless he changes the set-up
McClaren has openly stated Obertan was only in the team to stop Coates from storming forward. The interesting thing about Obertan is his perceived threat…not his actual ability. Because he's so quick defenders don't like to go past him because once they're out of position and Obertan gets in behind the lines he is classed as a threat even though his end product 9 times out 10 is absolutely pants.
Coates was brought off at half time and the game was then dead on Obertans wing because he posed no threat whatsoever…APART FROM HIS ONE CROSS LEADING TO OUR 2ND GOAL!!!!
My problem with Obertan is he has no confidence…he doesn't show himself and doesn't demand the ball…he almost reluctantly accepts thinking "why have you given it to me."
He's only happy running past people but as soon as he has to cross the ball doubt springs to mind and cuts back inside or checks and passes back…it's a real shame but he's just got no confidence unlike Gillespie who would run and cross all day long.
I don'y think Swansea play with a marauding full back so I think Obertans influence on the game will be reduced so possibly Aarons or SDJ out there.
I don't think Mitrovic will start but Cisse starting at this stage of the season serves two purposes…
1.) He's in the shop Window to be sold in this transfer window
2.) Mitrovic is not match fit yet
I think Mitrovic and Perez and Armour and Rivi are enough cover for the front position TBH…I don't think Cisse is worth keeping now. I think we'd get 6-7 million for him and get 60k a week off the wages so I think he'll go
I don't think Tiote will want to stay after 3 games of not starting either.
Shearer and DraghL
I said after the game that the Pelle goal would beat the best defenders. However, it is worrying to see your captain go AWOL. You're right. I said that too when people were blaming Mbemba.
Colo drifts towards the ball and leaves his man. Mbemba then gets caught in two minds for a split second.
Yes communication by Mbemba would have helped. Something like "Hoy curly locks. Where the f*** do you think you're going now, you useless tw@t".
I urged everyone to watch Colo for that first goal again. Certainly, every budding centre back should. Why? Because it shows exactly what not to do. The cross would have ended up on the far side if there wasn't a player in the middle to redirect it. It could just as easily have reached Colo's man and ended in the net without the need for an outstanding leap. Typical Colo. AWOL.
Martoon, I've just been back a couple of pages, see what ya mean. 🙂 Gonna be a tough match tomorrow marra, I've gone 2-2 again, but would love to be proven wrong – in our favour! I'd seriously play Willo tomorrow, just to offer some height at the back. Gomis is a big booger and needs somebody as tall marking him. Not that I rate Willo – god forbid – but we look wide open once the crosses are allowed to come in. Mbemba can jump, but he'll need a step ladder against Gomis and Collo just looked awful last week. What say you?
Rotonda…One on my hopes for this season is that it'll finally be clear to most what a, not only tidy player, but important player Anita is /could be for the team.
When he's had runs in the past he's been really good. Often picking up MOTM awards in the process, but shortly after is forgotten, as it's the small things he does.
Big season ahead for the little man.
Blackley…""Hoy curly locks. Where the f*** do you think you're going now, you useless tw@t" Certainly gave me a smile. From what I understand he speaks next to no English, but that phrase should certainly be high on the priority list to learn.
Our Archilles heel is our team doctor or medical staff if he does his work we will b ok. Our squad is good for top 12.
Teams in ranking:
1. Man City
2. Chealsea
3. Arsenal
4. Man Utd

i'm one of ober's biggest critics he's never been good enough and yes i understand he's had the odd good game here and there but he's never been a player you can depend on !
that said i think he deserves to start next game >.< the reason being i was calling hell outa pards for dropping in form players and even though i dont like to admit it ober was def one of our better players last game which i must praise him as there was a fair few of our lads who had a good game !
maybe macca gets the best out of him ? i doubt it but unless its tried we will never know.
krul must start
hairdyer must start
mbemba must start
janmaat must start
anita must start
colback must start
tiote must start
sissoko must start
siem must start
wijnaldum must start
rolando must start
cisse must start
mitrovic must start
can we have 13 players on the pitch with 1 cb ? i'm sure alex fergusson would have gotten away with it !

The Red Willow County Sheriff Office and County Attorney issued this release Friday in the investigation of a double fatal house fire near Indianola
On the 28th of December, 2017 at approximately 12:01 a.m. the McCook Police Department dispatch received a 911 call advising there was a house fire southeast of Indianola, Nebraska.
Red Willow County Attorney Paul Wood confirmed 2 people died as a result of the house fire. The remains are believed to be those of Douglas Swanson and Debra Swanson, husband and wife, both 61 years of age of Indianola Nebraska. Both have been transported to Omaha for an autopsy scheduled for today.
The Swanson's daughter, Laura Swanson, is 34 years of age from Denver Colorado escaped from the home unharmed and placed the 911 call to report the fire. She was in the home visiting her parents for the holidays. At the time of the report she believed her parents and her younger sister, Faith Swanson, 24 years of age, who was also living in the residence with her parents were all unable to escape from the residence.
Faith was later found alive in Furnas County Nebraska and was brought back to McCook where she was re-united with her sister at the Red Willow County Sheriff's Office late in the afternoon. The sisters were interviewed and left the Sheriff's Office at the conclusion of the interviews.
The origin and cause of the fire remain under investigation by the State Fire Marshall's Office. Due to the house being a total loss, the results of the investigation will not be able to be released for some time.
Responding agencies were Indianola Volunteer Fire and Rescue, McCook Fire and Rescue, Red Willow Western Fire, Red Willow County Sheriff Office, Nebraska State Fire Marshall, Nebraska State Patrol.

If I'd had a math teacher like Alfred Solis from San Diego's High Tech High School, I may not be writing this blog today. Instead, I might be designing spacecraft or improving the way factories use chemicals or using technology to imitate biology. Not that writing is a lesser profession …
My point is, Mr. Solis is doing some really cool things in his 9th grade math classroom that may have ignited something – logic, numbers, reasoning – in the left side of my brain.
He's a PBL guy and his presentation during Day One of Austin's SXSWedu conference illuminated, via examples from his classroom, as well as several others across the country, the eight essential elements of project-based learning from the Buck Institute for Education (BIE).
Based on research, theory, and classroom experiences, BIE suggests that for project-based learning to be relevant and meaningful, it should include these eight elements:
- Significant Content – The project is focused on important knowledge, concepts, and skills derived from standards.
- 21st Century Skills – Students build critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity, and other skills needed for success in today's world.
- In-Depth Inquiry – Students engage in a rigorous, extended process of asking questions, gathering information, and developing original answers.
- Driving Question – Project work is guided by an intriguing, open-ended question, often created or modified by the student.
- Need to Know – The project creates an authentic purpose for learning, beginning with an Entry Event.
- Voice and Choice – Students make some decisions about the project, including how they work and what they create. PBL works best when students have a genuine interest in the project they're pursuing, emphasized Solis.
- Revision and Reflection – Students give, get, and use feedback to improve their work, and reflect on their learning. Solis says this is one of the toughest elements to incorporate, because often teachers feel the need to "keep moving on" once a project is complete.
- Public Audience – Students create projects for or present work to people beyond their classroom. Examples include exhibits and gallery walks.
When done right, PBL promises deeper learning outcomes, higher student engagement, and the development of vital 21st century skills, including communication, collaborations, critical thinking, and creativity.
Solis recommended that educators who are beginning to incorporate project-based learning into their classrooms turn to Goldilocks for help. In other words, look for projects that are not too hot or too cold; not too big or too small. But rather, start with projects that feel just right for students, teacher, and classroom.

Hello Tom. By default the element will not display on your page but this does not mean that there's an error. What this means is that there is no reason for this to appear as there is only one product. By just having one product item in your form, this becomes automatically selected. Form submissions with the item not appearing will still be redirected to Paypal for the user to complete the payment
If you still wish to have the item to appear on your form, what you can do is add a dummy item then what we can do next is hide this via CSS injection. You can read more on this user guide on how to inject CSS in your form: http://www.jotform.com/help/117-How-to-Inject-Custom-CSS-Codes

Kim here. It's increasing obviously Australian politicians do not represent (or advocate for), ordinary, working class citizens. Scandalously, our government lets adult Indonesian prisoners go home on "Parole" (with zero conditions), within weeks of their already short sentences, even though their Government point blank refuses to return this huge privilege (and humanitarian gesture), from the Australian people. Here are the details from a previous post: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=580474915367307&set=a.119032021511601.28637.117859211628882&type=1&relevant_count=1
Then to add insult to injury, Indonesian authorities recently gave the Indonesian people smuggler responsible for the death of hundreds just 7 years: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=583467268401405&set=a.119032021511601.28637.117859211628882&type=1&relevant_count=1 while the Bali Bomber who helped slaughter and maim hundreds was out in a mere 5 years, and happily flapping his gums (for cash), to any media willing to line his pockets:https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=594189027329229&set=a.119032021511601.28637.117859211628882&type=1&relevant_count=1
Further, not a single Australian politician has condemned the clear discrimination against Schapelle (as compared to Indonesian parolees from other nations), as recent French parolee Michael Blanc is allowed to give unlimited media interviews:https://www.facebook.com/PeopleForSchapelleCorby/posts/10203510051850823

Learning how to get praise
Imagine this: You stay late at work, consistently win accounts that your co-workers only dream of, never miss deadlines, and never show up late - and to top it all off, you finish even your worst projects successfully and ahead of schedule.
You'd think that by doing all of this, you would, at least once in a while, get thanks and recognition from management? Well. you wish. Unfortunately, your boss is busy dealing with a "problem" member of the team, and as a result, she forgets to show any gratitude to her stars. That includes you.
Have you ever been in a situation like this? Working hard and getting ignored by your boss can be rough. That's why you sometimes have to take matters into your own hands.
Boasting of your own accomplishments can feel awkward. But look at it this way: If your boss doesn't notice your hard work, and you don't point it out to him or her, then what happens when you ask for a raise? How will he or she know you're ready for that promotion, or if you can handle that huge-but-fascinating project?
Things don't have to be like that. We'll show you how to get the recognition you deserve without looking like you're seeking attention. Believe it or not, there is a way to do this.
There are many types of recognition, so decide what type you want.
Step One: Decide What You Want
Companies often thank staff with awards, certificates, or bonuses. However, people often just want simple praise. We want to know that our work is meaningful and that we've made a difference. An "Employee of the Month" certificate, or a cold, hard check doesn't always communicate that.
So, what exactly are you looking for? It's important to really define this, because everyone wants something different. Do you want a simple "thank you"? An award ceremony in your honor? A raise?
Step Two: Define Why You Deserve Praise
Don't walk into your boss's office with no advance preparation to say what a great job you've been doing. Why? Firstly, it would seem odd. Then, if you're a bit nervous, you might forget something important that you've done. You might forget the help a co-worker gave you, and leaving out that person could speak poorly of your character. Be sure to make yourself look good, but also share credit where credit is due.
Make a list of the accomplishments you'd like to discuss. Beside each one, list the value that accomplishment has brought to the company.
Step Three: Praise Yourself
This is where you've got to get creative. You know your boss and your business environment, so think of ways to let your boss know how hard you've been working.
If you tell your boss directly, then do it carefully and tactfully - in a private area. You know that list of accomplishments you just created? Read that over a few times before your meeting. As you talk, emphasize how you had help and how your co-workers should be rewarded for their hard work as well.
If this feels a little too much like bragging, then think of ways to let your boss know what you're doing without being so obvious or bold. For example, send your boss an email every time you win a new account, or when you're finally able to please your company's worst customer. These little "progress reports" keep your actions in the open in a delicate, not-too-obvious way.
You can also praise others in front of your boss. By bringing their hard work and accomplishments to your boss's attention, she may also notice the great job that you've been doing. Keep it genuine and honest, however. If you appear insincere, then people may notice, and you may look bad. If you have something good to say, then say it, but don't speak up if you don't really mean it.
A Few Tips
Look closely at your boss's actions - he or she may be praising you, and you don't even realize it. For example, let's say you spent hours writing the annual message to shareholders, and your boss only quickly glanced at it before passing it on to be copied. Before you get upset, consider that her actions may really say that she trusts you to do top-notch work, and she doesn't have read every line to know you've done a great job. Yes, a "thank you" for a job well done is nice, but this kind of trust is also a compliment.
In your work environment, perhaps all the problem behaviors get noticed, and all the really great ones seem to be ignored. If so, then you may have to do something bold to get management's attention. Tell your boss honestly how members of the team need some recognition. Keep the focus off yourself, and help your boss understand how everyone would be more motivated if they just got a little praise now and then.
Key Points
Although not everyone is comfortable talking about their accomplishments, you might harm yourself if you don't speak up.
If your boss doesn't see the great work you've been doing, he or she might give that promotion or special project to someone else without knowing any better. It's up to you to prove that you can handle the added responsibility - and to do that, your boss has to know what you've already done.
Think of subtle ways to get your boss's attention by talking privately, sending emails about small accomplishments, and praising your teammates when he or she is around to hear it. Even if you keep the focus off yourself, it may get him or her to notice what you've been doing as well.
Apply This to Your Life:
Ready to put this into action? Here are some easy ways to use this tool in your life right now:
Begin by recognizing the accomplishments of others. If you notice co-workers doing something great, send them emails praising their efforts, and send copies to your boss. This can show your boss that you're leading by example.
Don't forget that your boss might need some praise and recognition too. Send him or her an email when she's made a difference in your day, and consider copying that email to his or her boss.
If you're a team leader, keep your eyes open for activities and co-workers that deserve praise. Whenever someone does something that's earned a heartfelt "thanks," send that person an email and copy it to your boss.
These are just a few ways you can "raise the bar" in your workplace to get other people thinking about praise and recognition. When you recognize the efforts of your team, you should steadily earn your own praise as well.
Get the Recognition You Deserve

Melbourne University students will be able to get free drug testing kits to check if their illicit party pills are what drug dealers say they are.
The student union has voted to buy and distribute the kits, after a number of deaths at music festivals due to illicit drugs.
"(It's to) test the drugs to see if they are what they say they are. It's not a test to see if they're safe to take," union president Tyson Holloway-Clarke told AAP on Wednesday.
"We could do what we're doing here, harm minimisation and addressing a reality that students and young people of this age are using drugs, or we could pretend it doesn't exist."
The kits include legal information and instructions for testing drugs.
"If a student buys ecstasy, the kit will change colour and tell you that it's ecstasy, it won't tell you how much ecstasy, it won't tell you if it's got other things in it that might be unsafe," Mr Holloway-Clarke said.
Victoria's upper house is investigating the effectiveness of harm minimisation strategies, including "procedures for deploying drug detection activities at events".
The committee will report back in March.
Premier Daniel Andrews said earlier in the year he was opposed to pill testing, and the government confirmed on Wednesday it has no plans to roll it out.
"The Melbourne University proposal is a matter for the university, however we understand that Victoria Police will be closely monitoring," a government spokeswoman said.
"The government invests almost $200 million a year towards a range of harm minimisation measures."
A Victoria Police spokeswoman warned it was "unlawful to use, possess, cultivate or traffick illicit drugs in any form".
"Those handling illicit substances as part of a pill-testing service could be liable to prosecution."

This letter to the editor concerning the local stormwater utility fee prompts a couple of musings on my part.
The first is that those who live outside the old city limits have been rooked since city-county unification. As I noted on my former campaign web site: "A decade and a half after the fact, the explicit promises of city-county government unification remain conspicuously unfulfilled for residents in the peripheral areas of the county." See sections 8-115 and 9-103 of the Charter. For about the first decade or so after unification, residents of that area were treated with what amounted to benign neglect. Over the past few years, however, rural residents have been systematically deprived of their property rights, while at the same time being subjected to oppressive ordinances and spiraling taxes and fees. The stormwater utility charge is merely a case in point. Thousands of residents are neither connected to the county's sanitary sewer lines nor located anywhere near a stormwater drain, but pay the fee nonetheless.
A second is that once government expands into a given area (regulations, subsidies, taxes, fees, etc.) it is there forever, regardless of how good or how poor its performance. Unification will never be undone. FWIW, I supported unification. I thought that having overlapping, though separate, city and county bureaucracies in a geographic area as small as Clarke County was insane. Unfortunately, unification has not worked out as advertised.

Was it necessary for the Justice Department to approve consolidation of A-CC under provisions of the voting rights act related to annexation?
Also could you summarize briefly the manner in which rural residents have been deprived of their property rights? It is curious to me how rural land in Clarke is often less (much less!) expensive than in some neighboring counties. It seems to me that land is depreciating in rural Clarke county. Not sure about the taxes, though I bet they are going up as always!

I was not politically active at the time so I cannot say from memory if Justice Department approval was needed for city-county unification. Perhaps it was not needed for the process of unification itself, but my assumption would be that such approval was required for the new commission districts. Since district lines for the old county and city governments were being abolished, to be replaced with new county commission lines, I'm sure that the provisions of the Voting rights Act designed to ensure adequate minority representation were applicable.
Regarding property rights, I am mulling over a lengthy post concerning the Unified Government's land use policies that would go a long way toward answering your question. So, on that point I am going to beg your indulgence for a while as I get my thoughts in order.
I would not be the least bit surprised if rural land in Clarke County was cheaper than in neighboring counties; zoning ordinances passed over the last few years have served to dramatically reduce the potential uses of that land and thus have reduced its value.

Thanks. You've got a great blog. I look forward to reading your thoughts on Clarke County's current land use policies.
It seems pretty clear to me that you are right -- rural land owners are getting shafted in Clarke County. The benefits of these new land use policies to Clarke County, collectively, may outweigh the costs to rural residents. But if this is true, then it should be the case that rural residents could and would be compensated in some way. I don't see that happening. In fact, it seems to me that rural residents are not only getting shafted, they are paying extra for the privelege.

Since the "unified" government of Athens Clarke County, with the exception of Winterville, is one government, not only is this treatment of rural citizens , lack of bus service, lack of sewer service and even water, lack of sidewalks in subdivisions, overly restrictive zoning rules preventing development while downtown expands every minute, etc., these unfair activities and treatment of citizens outside the bypass is illegal, but the corrupt Georgia Attorney General and U.S. Attorney won't force the corrupt Athens government to comply with the equal protection clause of the Georgia Constitution, while friends and cronies downtown receive favors all day long. The law in Georgia is a corrupt joke favoring friends and cronies of the commissioners and mayor. If you question this conclusion just take a look at the $5.5 million Five Points fire station and then drive around Georgia and look at what a real fire station looks like, usually a $50,000 metal building.

The end?
Ist this the end?
Is this the down fall?
Is this the new path?
I don't want it. It feels like I have been here before and honestly I don't want to be here. It was all going great. Everything seemed to be at place.
How can I extend?
How can I keep flying?
How can I turn back?
I don't know and it's scary.
Guess I flew too close to the sun.
My wax is slowly but surely melting.
Isn't life about ups and downs?
I had my up now it's time to face my down.
Strongly hope it won't last too long. Because I hate it. I hate feeling this way.

New report: We need to make better homes for people & wildlife
Thursday 11th January 2018
A new report published today by the Wildlife Trusts sets out new guidelines about how housing developments can be built in a way to benefit both the environment and people.
'Homes for people and wildlife – how to build housing in a nature-friendly way' is published at a time when the Government has recently committed to building a further 300,000 homes per year in the UK, until 2022.
Plans in Dorset already include 3,588 new dwellings per year. This would increase by 11% (to 3,980 per year) if government proposals are adopted.
Dorset Wildlife Trust (DWT) believes that the natural environment must be at the heart of Dorset's planning system, in order to give the government a chance of meeting its commitments to both be the first generation to leave the environment in a better state than we found it, and to build new homes and communities that people enjoy living in. One such example of a development being created with wildlife in mind, is the *St Leonards site in Dorset, near Ringwood.
Dorset Wildlife Trust's Director of Conservation, Imogen Davenport, said, "In Dorset, DWT plays an active role in helping to ensure that wild spaces and habitats are protected and enhanced during the development process. We recognise the need for development. There is no need for conflict with the natural environment if development occurs in the right place, and in the right way, for the benefit of both wildlife and people. We believe that this is achievable and that happier, healthier communities can be created with wildlife and greenspace at the heart, locating houses in places where landscapes can be restored to aid nature's recovery, as well as giving people access to nature right where they live.
It is possible to create nature-friendly housing by retaining natural habitats, creating wildlife-rich community green spaces, and ensuring 'win-win' situations where infrastructure, such as road verges or flood defences, also enable wildlife to thrive. These gains for wildlife will also help improve people's health and quality of life, too."
Read the report and find out more:
The new report highlights the social, environmental and economic benefits to this approach, including benefits to wildlife, for residents, the economy and businesses, and for wider society. Read the report here.

Notes to Editor
*Case Study: St Leonards Hospital Redevelopment: Dorset Wildlife Trust
St Leonards, a former 1940s military hospital in Dorset, was in dire need of investment. The site's spectacular heathland and acid grassland, precious habitat declared a Local Wildlife Site in the early nineties, was suffering from a lack of management.
Redevelopment offered the opportunity to change things, to restore and enhance the site so that valuable habitats could thrive.
In 2015 a 26-hectare development was approved. It will provide 210 new homes, a new feeder road and 18.3 hectares of Local Wildlife Site. Key environmental outcomes over a 7-year span will include 17 hectares of restored heathland/acid grassland mosaic and 25 hectares of natural greenspace adjacent to the reserve, enhanced for access and biodiversity.
Redevelopment offered the opportunity to change things, to restore and enhance the site so that valuable habitats could thrive.
With such clear benefits for nature, the plans met with few environmental objections, and good public consultation from an early stage kept the process smooth. Dorset Wildlife Trust were involved from the beginning, with early and ongoing consultation between the Trust, Natural England, the developers, ecological consultants and East Dorset District Council critical to securing these positive ecological outcomes.
Thanks to conscientious construction, the prognosis looks promising for the wildlife of this former hospital site.

Yorkshire Dales - The author's take
Going Slow in the Yorkshire Dales
North Yorkshire is England's largest county, and an astonishingly diverse region. A Slow appraisal of a place shouldn't skim, but needs to look at the detail, so inevitably some very deserving places didn't make it in.
What makes the Yorkshire Dales so special? Why is it visited so much and written about so often? The answers to these questions lie not just in the obvious observations of space, natural beauty and breathtaking landscape; it involves the culture of the place as well – the people. Dales folk are often old-fashioned but proud of it, they see it as an attribute, not a fault. While many places are rediscovering the values of the traditional, real and genuine, and renewing connections with their history and landscape, many parts of the Dales never lost them in the first place. So-called progress has brought us cheap, mass-produced goods sold in supermarkets the size of villages and even bigger shopping malls. Thankfully, a backlash is taking place, and rural North Yorkshire is at the forefront of the push to preserve those things that make places different, interesting and … well, real. Folk are fighting hard to keep their village shops open, promote locally produced, high-quality food and drink, and encourage their own artists and artisans. These are the special people – the brewers, potters, shop-keepers, cheese-makers, farmers, wood-carvers, butchers, bakers and candlestick makers – that have managed to capture a little of the essence of their corner of this singular county, and enable you to feel it, smell it, taste it or even take a little of it away with you.
Author's story
On the face of it, a Lancastrian 'townie' writing about rural Yorkshire is an unusual phenomenon, but the truth is that I have spent more of my life in this adopted county than in the one of my birth. My first experience of Yorkshire, a seaside holiday to Whitby in the late 1960s, was a shocking one; for a ten-year-old boy used to the Gulf Stream waters of Wales, swimming in the North Sea came as a very rude awakening. Fast forward three or four years and I am back over the border again, this time on the other side of the county in Dentdale, where we teenagers enjoyed many residential stays in the school's country cottage.
With hindsight, those first exposures to real country life – windswept hills, clean rivers and undisturbed wildlife – were life-changing experiences, for which I am eternally grateful. Following that initial love affair with the Yorkshire Dales, I have revisited every Easter since, accompanied by a handful of like-minded school friends, and during that time we reckon to have visited just about every hill-top and decent pub available. That, coupled with my 25 years living and working in the North York Moors, led me to believe that I knew pretty much all there was to know about North Yorkshire. How wrong I was.
The very welcome opportunity to write a guide on the Yorkshire Dales has allowed me to see familiar places in a new light, and discover corners that for years I had unwittingly missed. It also gave me the incentive to go and do some of those things that I'd always promised myself, like kayaking under the bird cliffs at Flamborough or walking a long-distance trail like the Yorkshire Wolds Way. Best of all, it's rekindled my desire to go out exploring again, and see what else I might have missed in this wonderfully varied county.

The state Senate has approved and sent to the House of Representatives a bill (SB 16) to bar former legislators from turning lobbyist for one year after they leave office. This is what's known as "revolving door" legislation, and several states have it. But while SB 16 will slow the passage of legislator to lobbyist (critics have noted that it exempts current legislators, extending its effective date significantly), it won't impede former members of the executive branch.
Some reformers see a need for that too -— for a law that would, say, keep a former member of the state Public Service Commission from going to work for a public utility as soon as his PSC term ends. The PSC regulates utilities.
Sen. Robert Thompson, D-Paragould, is the sponsor of SB 16. He said he didn't include the executive branch in the bill because "I didn't want to try too much at one time. This bill [SB 16] has been presented in the past." Thompson said his bill was prompted by scandals involving legislators and lobbyists at the national level and in some states. "We as legislators ought to be able to police ourselves," he said. He said SB 16 was not aimed at any particular legislator or lobbyist in Arkansas, although a large number of former legislators are now registered lobbyists at the Capitol. There've always been people who went from legislating to lobbying, and the number has increased in recent years, possibly because the adoption of term limits has forced legislators out of office earlier.
Some former members of the executive branch are, or have been, registered lobbyists too — former insurance commissioners, former securities commissioners, former members of the Public Service Commission, former heads of state agencies such as the Department of Human Service, etc. In some cases, former officials have voluntarily refrained from lobbying for a year or so after leaving office. Graham Sloan, director of the state Ethics Commission, said he knew of no Arkansas statutes imposing revolving-door limits on members of the executive branch. The Ethics Commission would be the agency most likely to enforce such laws if they existed.

(First night in Bali – Ga In & Hyuna's room)
'Hyuna-ah, what do you think of Jo Kwon?' Ga In asked suddenly.
She puts down the fashion magazine and frowned at her, 'Why do you ask that?'
'Nah.. just wondering..' She looks away and continues unpacking her luggage.
Hyuna eyes widened, 'Why? Are you interested in him?'
(At the same time, Seul Ong and Jo Kwon's room)
'Jo Kwon-ah, how was today's shooting? Did everything go well?' Seul Ong asked while lying on his bed.
'Honestly it was better than I expected. I thought we would be awkward... but it feels…. 'Jo Kwon paused, trying to find the most suitable words to describe how he felt.
'…So natural.. .As though like I have known her for years…' He continued while looking up at the ceiling on the bed – flashing back the time spent with her.
'Well, that's good to hear. Tomorrow is going to be a long day. So we better rest early tonight.'
(Next day [last day], at the shooting set – spa pool)
'Jo Kwon-sshi, you looked really cool,' Jo Kwon stood there while the make-up artist touch-up on his face. He was wearing a white pair of swimming trunk, revealing his six-pack.
He looked around; a fair petite lady covered in bathrobe comes out from a corner. He secretly jumped in joy inside his heart, anticipating the time that he is going to spend with her for the rest of the day.
'Oh hi, Ga In-sshi , I mean Ga In noona. Good morning.' Jo Kwon greeted politely.
'Ohh hi..good morning. .erm, wow you looked...' Ga In scans her eyes up and down, feasting her eyes on Jo Kwon's muscular body.
Jo Kwon smiles and joked, 'Noona, let's give our best today and not get killed.'
'Ga In-sshi, please take off your bathrobe. We are going to shoot now.' Changmin requested.
Ga In carefully unties the bathrobe and passed it to Hyuna – revealing her yellow halter neck bikini and her milky white body. She scooped some water from the pool and runs it through her hair.
Jo Kwon saw the whole scene and look away because he could literally feel the bulge in his trunks. He pretends to cover his eyes from the scorching sun.
'Okay, now you two please get into the pool.' Changmin asked again.
Jo Kwon politely holds Ga In's hand and led her into the pool. They stood in the middle of the pool, with the water level reaching only at Jo Kwon's knee.
'Please play around and I'll shoot the pictures.' Changmin who were also standing in the pool, asked.
As requested, Jo Kwon started off by splashing some water onto Ga In's face, 'Noona, let's play!'
'Nice one, you guys are doing great!'
'Alright, let's move onto the next scene.'
The sudden halt from the photographer causes Jo Kwon and Ga In to burst into laughter because they totally forgot about the presence of the camera.
(Next shooting set – Café beside the spa pool)
'Just eat and enjoy your lunch comfortably and I'll shoot the pictures.' Changmin asked.
'Alright, we will.' Both leads answered in unison.
They started eating but the atmosphere was unusually quiet. They didn't know what to say or what to do.
Jo Kwon knew that this can't go on so he scoop a mouthful of food for Ga In, 'Noona, have a bite.'
'Wonderful! Keep going.' Changmin praised.
Ga In was startled by Jo Kwon's sudden act but she didn't show it on her face. She eye-smiled and accepts the mouthful of food.
Jo Kwon then saw some stain on her mouth, so he reached for the napkins, 'Can I?' He asked.
Ga In leans her head forward and Jo Kwon wipes the stain of her mouth. She could feel her cheek burning so she tried to laugh it off and covered her face with her hand.
'Alright, let's wrap up and we would continue later in the evening!!' Changmin shouted to the staff member.
(Last shooting set – along the Bali beach)
Both Jo Kwon and Ga In were holding hands and are walking by the beach.
'Try playing around!' Changmin shouted from where he stood.
Taking the initiatives, Jo Kwon purposely pinch her cheek, 'Meh~rong~' and ran away.
'Yah!!' Ga In chased after him.
'OUCH!' Ga in suddenly stop running and whined in pain.
'What happened?!' Jo Kwon ran over to Ga In immediately to check up on her.
The other staff came running to where the leads are.
'Are you alright?' Jo Kwon asked worriedly.
'I think.. I…just cut my foot.'
In no time, Jo Kwon already picked Ga in up in the bridal way and quickly carry her away from the beach.
'Are..are you alright?' Jo Kwon trembled in guilty. He traced to where Ga In is holding her leg and he saw blood oozing out from her right foot.
'Somebody please get me the first aid kit!!' Jo Kwon ordered.
'The medical officer is here!!' Hyuna shouted and lead two medical officers from the resort to where Ga In is.
Jo Kwon was stepped aside; allowing the officer to attend to Ga In's wound. He just stood there, watching the process worriedly.
(That night – Ga In & Hyuna's room)
*Knock Knock
'Please wait a while!' Ga In shouted from inside. Ga In uses the crutches to help her to the door.
Swinging the door open, she saw Jo Kwon standing outside with a medipack on his hand.
'Oh erm, hi Ga In noona... I was just wondering if you...' Jo Kwon showed the medipack on his hand.
'Just come in.'
Jo Kwon helped Ga In to the bed and sat beside her.
'Noona, you know.. I am so sorry about just now..' Jo Kwon looked down, feeling the guilt creeping up.
She shook her head and smile, 'Please don't be, you have done nothing wrong.'
'But you are injured because of me..' His voice trailed off again.
She reaches out her hand and touches his hand, '…Please don't blame yourself.' When she realises her awkward move, she quickly pulled her hand in. Jo Kwon was taken aback but he tried to ignore it.
'Noona, where is Hyuna?' He tried changing the topic to ease the awkward moment.
'Oh, erm.. she went over to discuss the project in my place.. you know when I am in this state..'
'Ahh, I see. By the way, noona do you mind if I help you to change your bandage?' Jo Kwon asked suddenly.
Jo Kwon kneeled on one leg, pointed at her injured leg and looked at Ga In, 'Can I?'
Smiling, Ga In nodded gently.
With the consent, Jo Kwon place Ga In's right foot on his leg and gently removes the bandage.
'You know how to do this?' Ga In asked.
'I am used to living alone in the States. So I need a know a thing or two..' His voice trailed off again.
Jo Kwon picked the medicine from the medipack and gently applies it on the wound; he could feel Ga In's hand which is on his shoulder, tightening.
Jo Kwon stopped immediately, 'Is it painful?' He turned his face towards Ga In and saw tears welding up in her eyes.
'Ou..no, it's okay.' Ga In forced a smile on her face.
'Sorry, I'll be gentler.' Jo Kwon returns his focus on Ga In's wound.
Soon, she forgot about the pain in her leg, because she can't help but to notice Jo Kwon's beautiful feature – the attentive eyes, white skin, luscious lips and most importantly, the cologne that Jo Kwon wears makes her heart beats crazily.
Unknowingly, Ga In felt her cheeks starts to burn and her heart beating quickly. She holds her chest, trying to 'tame' her heart.
'Why? Are you hurt anywhere?' Jo Kwon looked into her eyes, with a worried look.
'No..nothing.' Ga In looked away, preventing Jo Kwon from seeing her blushed cheek.
'Alright, it's done.' Jo Kwon carefully puts down Ga In's leg.
He then stood up, 'You know, I should go now. I shan't be disturbing you from rest.' He walked towards the room's door wanting to leave quickly.
'Jo Kwon—' Ga In called out.
'Yes?' He quickly turned.
'…Oh..erm..nothing. I..I just want to say thanks..' She paused. 'I mean for the bandage…and for everything. It was fun working with you.'
'Oh, it's nothing. You are welcome. I better leave now. Bye.'
With that, Jo Kwon hastily leaves the room, leaving Ga In disappointed.
Jo Kwon stood outside the of Ga In's room, holding his chest; his heart was beating crazily too. He then heaved a sigh of relief and quickly walked back towards his room.
