New to Hulu in January 2019: All the movies and shows coming and going
Hulu has revealed their slate of new movies and TV shows that will be arriving and those that will be departing on the streaming service next month. The new arrivals for Hulu in January 2019 include:
Two cousins work through the Atlanta music scene in order to better their lives and the lives of their families. Donald Glover serves as Executive Producer, along with Paul Simms, Dianne McGunigle and Stephen Glover. Atlanta Season 2 will be released on January 1.
What does a pageant star who calls herself the "hot-mess express," a confident Nigerian beauty with a loud-and-proud personality,; a deceptively bubbly spitfire who is hiding a dark family secret, a California beach blonde who has a secret that ironically may make her the Bachelor's perfect match, and a lovable phlebotomist all have in common? They're all on the hunt for love with Colton Underwood when the 23rd edition of ABC's hit romance reality series The Bachelor premieres on January 8.
Season 2 of Future Man picks up in 2162, and Josh, Wolf, and Tiger learn that their season one mission to stop the cure from getting out didn't work. In this timeline, Stu Camillo is now in power, having created the cure, and launched a plan to relocate humanity to Mars. A shadowy organization called the Pointed Circle seeks to recruit Josh to take Stu down — but are they the good guys, or is Stu? As Wolf quickly acclimates to the strange customs of this time, Tiger struggles with her Biotic identity and searches for an escape. Josh unites the team in an epic plan to save the world, but their time-traveling catches up to them, and they must reckon with their choices and what to do next. Season 2 will premiere on January 11.
Everyone has a family. And every family has a story. This Is Us chronicles the Pearson family across the decades: from Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) and Rebecca (Mandy Moore) as young parents in the 1980s to their adult kids – Kevin (Justin Hartley), Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Randall (Sterling K. Brown) – searching for love and fulfillment in the present day. The Season 3 midseason premiere will release on January 15.
Butterfly is about the acrimonious relationship between separated parents, Vicky and Stephen, and their division in opinion over how to support their gender variant child, Max. From a young age, their now 11-year-old son has identified as a girl and presented signs of gender dysphoria. The complete first season will launch on January 18.
In addition to these notable recent inclusions, Hulu will be adding a large list of movies and TV shows to the service. The full list can be viewed below.

If it takes a gift card to get you to a bloodmobile, so be it
t is unfortunate that the American Red Cross must offer a monetary reward to get people to donate blood amid a shortage.
But that's just what it is doing thanks to Amazon.
Thanks to a donation to the Red Cross, the online retail giant — and we mean giant — will give a $5 Amazon.com gift card to each person who donates blood or platelets through Aug. 29.
As of this past Saturday, the Red Cross had less than a three-day supply of most blood types available and less than a two-day supply of type O blood.
All eligible donors are urged to give now.
We're sure the agency is especially in need of Type O blood.
There are just six units of type O blood available for every 100,000 people, which is two times less than the amount needed every day.
The Red Cross notes that a blood donation takes about an hour from start to finish, but the actual donation itself only takes about 8-10 minutes.
When emergency arises, it is the blood already on the shelves that helps to save lives.
Only through the generosity of blood donors can the Red Cross provide hospitals with lifesaving blood to meet the ongoing and often, unpredictable needs of patients.
To donate blood, individuals need to bring a blood donor card or driver's license or two other forms of identification that are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also must meet certain height and weight requirements.
Here is a list of upcoming blood drives
5 Aug. 15, 1 p.m. – 6 p.m., Phelps Chapel, 68 Phelps Chapel Road, Jersey Shore.
5 Aug. 15, 1 p.m. – 6 p.m., Williamsport Regional Medical Center, 700 High St., Williamsport.
The need for blood is constant, the Red Cross says.
In the United States every two seconds blood is needed to help accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease.
Need we say more?

On March 6th, 2020 at 7:30pm the Tryon Festival Theatre presented a musical performance entitled " Cabaret". This performance brought about musicality, theatre, and dance while trying to portray some of the issues surrounding the time frame, WW1.
Written by: Lydia Amezcua Ramirez
In the performance there was many ways of expressing expressing character mood/desire. The songs and music helped carry those messages out. The music and songs in Cabaret worked to give a sense of the world of the play by subtly bringing in issues that all tie in with Cabaret. For example, a character who came from America would go to the Kit Kat Club to drink and enjoy life in Berlin, Germany because that is what most people there seemed to do, live life while partying and still having to find a way to pay rent on time. The Kit Kat Club seemed to be the place where people went to enjoy music and drink, but all of that disappeared by the end of the play when there were no more performers or people in the Kit Kat Club. This was due to the beginning of WW1 when the Nazis took power and streets/places were abandoned.

The music and songs in Cabaret also worked to give a sense of the dreams of the characters through the beat and emotion that went with the music and songs they sang. For example, one of the characters in the play was a performer in the Kit Kat Club and one of the songs she sang was an upbeat one involving not telling her mother about her being a performer because she was chasing her dream. Towards the end of the play she ended up staying in Berlin, Germany regardless of what was going on around that time frame because she wanted to continue chasing her dream of being a grand performer. The song she sang was more emotional that time around with not as much music behind her that way more emotional tone would be coming from her part.
Set Transitions
In Cabaret, the sets would transition as would any play to show the distinct parts of the Berlin setting. In between each transition, songs would be performed by the characters in the play and if not them then by the host of the night along with his background dancers. The sets of the performance included:
- The Kit Kat Club, where performers would perform and others went there to drink.
- A Railroad Carriage, where the American coming to Berlin would travel to and back.
- Schneider's Apartment, the landlord lady.
- Cliff's Apartment, the American novelist from America.
- Schultz's Fruit Shop, the person who liked the landlord lady.
- The Void, an empty abandoned place.
Overall, Cabaret was a mesmerizing performance filled with a variety of music and performance style that left goosebumps on my arms. What I liked most about the performance was all the energy in the characters that remained up to when the Nazis took control. Life as they knew it would change forever because life was not something that one could spend partying without worries. It became a means of survival and the reality of the world they began to live in.

By Melissa Rollins, Editor, firstname.lastname@example.com
When Caroline Floyd takes the field this season as a varsity cheerleader for Darlington High School, it will be a small reminder to her family that she should never have been able to be a high school cheerleader at all.
Floyd is an active high school student making the most of her senior year. She serves as the treasurer for the Darlington High School Student Government, editor for the Key Club and is a member of Health Occupation Students of America (HOSA).
When she was a pre-teen, though, her family was in a serious car accident that doctors told her would lead to a wheelchair, not the pom-poms and school spirit cheers that she had been looking forward to in high school.
That car accident, however, helped her find the direction she wanted to take in life.
"I got interested in medicine when I was eleven and I got into a car accident," Floyd said. "A drunk driver hit us head-on and I broke three vertebras in my back. They told me that I would never walk again; basically, no one could understand why I wasn't paralyzed."
As a young woman preparing to enter middle school, Floyd said that news was extremely hard to hear and she didn't want to accept it.
"They said that they were going to do reconstructive surgery but that I would not be able to walk," Floyd said. "I prepared myself for that but then I was able to walk after it. It was really amazing. I was in the hospital for two months and I just fell in love with medicine. While I was there, I realized that there were people who make your stay better and there are people who make it harder. I wanted to be the one to make it better. So, I decided then that I want to be a Physicians Assistant."
Floyd said that during that hospital stay, God showed her that there was a reason she surpassed the doctor's expectations.
"Sometimes people will say that they don't know what their purpose it but I do know what my purpose is," Floyd said. "God put it in my heart when I was eleven-years-old and in the hospital. He is going to use me for something big."
That calling from God to help others eventually included spending time at a homeless shelter in Myrtle Beach where she saw, as she did in the hospital, the power of taking time to get to know someone and encourage them in whatever hardship they might be experiencing.
"I volunteered at a family homeless shelter at the beach call New Directions where I tutored homeless children in a wonderful program called Freedom Readers," Floyd said. "I met with them every Monday and I love my babies."
She was connected with the shelter after a job shadow day when she followed her mom at her job helping underprivileged populations. Though she needed to volunteer to accumulate service hours for high school, it became so much more.
"I am in the Early College Program at Darlington High and I need a lot of service hours because of that," Floyd said. "I told them that if they ever needed extra help at the shelters that I would love to help out. The director over New Directions said that she thought I'd be good with the kids so she got in contact with my mom and I've done it every summer. With everything that these kids have been through, you wouldn't think that these kids would care about reading but they do."
The summer before her senior year was the last time Floyd worked with the Freedom Readers program and Floyd said it was emotional saying goodbye.
After finding a career path that she wanted to follow, Floyd said that she made the decision to start taking classes at the Darlington County Institute of Technology.
"I was on track to get my Associates Degree," Floyd said. "However, I decided last year to take classes at DCIT and get my CNA. I wanted to be in the medical field but I had never gotten my feet wet. I had been the patient but I never was the caregiver."
Floyd said with her feet to the fire, she realized that her classes at DCIT were going to be a challenge but one that she would gladly rise to.
"I had Medical Terminology and it was in Latin," Floyd said. "I never really had to study but when I got my first grade back in Medical Terminology I had to figure it out really quickly. The teachers there are amazing; they've helped me in every way possible. I realized that it was really hard but I love it. I love challenging myself."
As she thinks about her future after high school, Floyd said that she is looking forward to college and what comes after with a lot of hope.
"I was very thankful for what the Honors College gave me," Floyd said. "I will not have my degree but I will basically be entering college as a junior; there are just three classes I didn't take that I'd need to get my degree. I am very excited but nervous at the same time. I've gotten this far so I think it will be okay."

Fruits and veggies on your table Makes your health Stable
Fruits and veggies on your table Makes your health Stable
Nutritional tips for Toddlers:
- Introduce only one food at a time, giving only small amounts at first
- Increase variety slowly
- Introduce all food groups.
- Give an extra dash of fat in one or two items.
- Do not use excessive fat, salt and sugar.
- Prepare bland and non-flavoured items. Fried food, highly spiced, and highly flavoured foods are not liked.
- Consistency should be gradually built from liquid to semi-solid and then solid.
- Particle size of gruels should be built gradually from homogenized khichidi, to well mash to a thick khichidi.
- Quality should be gradually increased.
- If the child dislikes or disinterested, discontinue the food for some time and re-introduce later. Do not force feed. No food is indispensable or best.
- Parents should avoid personal prejudices, likes and dislikes in front of children. Rather they should eat a variety of foods and encourage children to do same.
- Identify intolerance and immediately discontinue. Cow's milk, egg white, soybean etc. are known to cause allergies. Cereals which least allergy is rice and the pulse which causes best tolerance is moong dal.
- Avoid fibre, whole legumes and raw vegetables with their high fibre content foods recommended for adults but not for infants.
- Some complementary foods need special preparation such as ARF (amylase rich foods) or mashed potato or banana.
- Prevent inclusion of junk foods, which provide only energy. Too many sweets biscuits, baked products like cakes and pastries, which have refined flour and sugar can cause dental caries.
- Avoid nibbling. Have a 5-6 meal pattern. Keep gap of 3 hrs.', and encourage the physical activity and play to prevent obesity.
- Meals should be attractive and served with care and personal attention.
- Too much attention at meal time only makes child to achieve their ends. Healthy meal time environment of the family helps in good eating habits.

To whom it may concern,
I'm making a request for the updated version of the Amplified Bible, for those like myself who love to use it along with the original Hebrew & Greek that would be great.
Pastor Kingsley J. Morrison
Piggy backing on this, I would like to see the 2016 Amplified Study Bible on logos
Count me in as well! I use the new CSB and AMP while studying the bible. If I do not quite understand it in one I usually do in the other. My main bible that i use is the ESV but I would love to see the new AMP added to LOGOS. Thank you Pastor Kingsley for getting this started.
God Bless ,

Gig Review: Sleeping With Sirens @ The Powerstation, Auckland - 29/4/18
Gig Review: Sleeping With Sirens @ The Powerstation, Auckland - 29/4/18
01 May 2018 // A review by ShelleySketch
It's a Sunday night in Auckland and this show was adjusted accordingly, with set times being even earlier than scheduled. 5pm doors was a weird experience but at the same time it was a welcomed one. The Powerstation was split, with U18 upstairs and R18 downstairs. Sadly, this was probably a poor choice as it made the venue look rather empty with the small crowd being split. But that didn't affect the energy of the crowd at all.
The Faim took the stage and lead vocalist, Josh Raven seemed to literally go crazy! He was constantly jumping, moving around the stage and interacting with the crowd. It made me feel somewhat tired just watching him. Michael Bono (Lead Guitar/Bass/Vocals), Stephen Beerkens (Bass/Keyboard) and Sean Tighe (Drums/Percussion) followed suit. Though they were pretty much confined to a small area, they'd move where they could and were clearly into the performance. For a second, I thought The Faim sounded somewhat familiar to me and I realized they made me think of Panic at The Disco, particularly with Josh' vocal range, which I'm sure is envied by other musicians. He introed their song
Make Believe
by saying "This is our song. How we crawl ourselves out of the fucking shit". The Perth locals clearly wanted to maintain that energy with Josh getting the crowd to clap along in tracks, jump and he even jumped into the pit to get up close and personal with them. Though it was an early show and the crowd was still quite small at this point, they made it feel like the room was packed and it was great.
Next up was an act who had flown a bit further to get here, Hertfordshire locals, Lower Than Atlantis. There was a small group of people in the crowd who you could see were very excited about the guys making it to our shores. The band dived right in. There wasn't too much movement at all, but the songs seemed to provide more energy anyway as the crowd jumped along to start with. They then clapped along as well. Occasionally lead vocalist Mike Duce would interact a bit with the crowd, even fist-bumping a female in the front row. But that was about it. At one-point Mike even announced "ozzy, ozzy, ozzy!" Clearly, they were in the wrong place, but the crowd went along with and did it anyway. I'd have to say one of the best parts of the set was when he advised the crowd to sing-a-long if they could understand his accent. The crowd clearly didn't and just seemed to play along. Mike noticed and advised them to just make the words up, however the crowd decided to hum instead. He then found it hard to continue as he just burst into laughter. The guys were clearly trying to figure out how similar we were to Australia as he asked the crowd if we encourage "shoeys" here. The crowd told him we didn't but then decided to encourage him to do one anyway. It seemed like he expected that to happen but also didn't want it to at the same time. Mike took off his own shoe and told the crowd that using his own shoe would be the worst as he has played in them every night on the entire tour. The look of disgust on his face definitely showed how gross it really was. He then preceded to play the rest of the gig in his white ankle socks. I noticed throughout the set that Mike has a bit of a twitch. He seems to go up on his tip toes a lot, just up and down. It was rather interesting. As their set came to an end they decided to acknowledge those who were upstairs, and Mike told them to get ready as he was going to do a "high-five Mexican wave" with them. This involved him running upstairs and high fiving everyone, while still playing. He played from the balcony for a bit while looking down at the stage before finally returning to thank everyone and say goodbye.
After a brief intermission to change the set, the lights went out and the intro music began to play. Finally Sleeping with Sirens emerged and got stuck straight in to their set. At first it seemed like your standard set with band members in their set areas. However, their energy picked up, especially Nick Martin (rhythm guitar/vocals) who began singing and interacting with the crowd right off the bat. The next member I noticed was Gabe Barham (drummer) as he looked like he was having the best time playing drums. Lead vocalist Kellin Quinn seemed a bit like he didn't want to be there at first, as he paced the stage back and forth with his head down. The crowd also hadn't grown much more but it also seemed rather nice having such an intimate crowd. Nick addressed the crowd to let them know they appreciated everyone for coming out to the last night of this leg of the tour. The night then got a bit weird. It was the last night of tour and they were probably quite tired, so all the stupidity ensued. There was a small group of girls who continued to ask Nick for a pick and Kellin was quick to jump on the band wagon, also asking him for a pick. Justin Hills (bass) decided to join in and asked Kellin for his microphone. They then began playing with microphone, even grabbing another one and just playing around while singing together. It was a fun moment the crowd really loved. It was making it feel like this small crowd were all just friends and having a fun time.
It came time for the band to play their "last song",
. The crowd went off as they thought it was the last song. This song is obviously very well-known as well for being used by the official U.S Olympic Team song. The gig veterans who were up the front knew they would come back on, but it didn't stop the crowd chanting. After a couple of minutes, the band came back out. Though Justin raced Kellin to the mic to tell the crowd they have 3 more songs left for us. The jokes continued with Kellin dedicating the next song to him and began singing about his band mates. All the pranks came out at this point! Gabe was getting chucked sticks from both sides, forcing him to drop sticks he's using and continue playing with the ones chucked at him. Justin was running around and just seemed to be laughing for the longest time. There was obviously a joke or discussion on stage which ran for the rest of this night. Jack Fowler (lead guitar) was also laughing and even started fooling around. He put a beer in his mouth and drank it with no hands at one point and also lied down on the stage while playing. Kellin's energy had picked up as well as he began fooling around. He swung his mic around at crazy fast speeds, which he tried to do earlier in the night, but the lighting threw him off. And just like Jack, he lied down on the stage after they pushed him over as he was tying his laces. All these jokes really took the show to another level. It was the music everyone wanted but the band gave off this fun, loving energy which made the crowd appreciate them even more. The band all came forward at the end, thanked everybody, chucked out memorabilia and departed the stage. The crowd was beaming as they left. Even stopping to take photos with The Faim, who were hanging out to meet fans. It's unsure if Sleeping with Sirens will be back, but this small intimate show definitely made for a good Sunday night!

Times x Two - EP Review: Late Night Legacy
26 Jun 2018 // by ShelleySketch
Times x Two have been somewhat of a staple in the New Zealand festival scene for a while, but they have now stepped up and are showing NZ just how big they can be with the release of their new EP Late Night Legacy. The EP cover art is strong and regal, with Cader and Zee against a rich red background; somewhat of a reflection of the objective of the EP itself, as there are some solid tracks that are sure to blow up.

Spotted over at http://www.grough.co.uk , an independently owned site offering the most up-to-date news and features about outdoors activities, there is news that Britain's national mapping agency Ordnance Survey is introducing a new product to help people who are colour-blind read maps more easily. Digital mapping means that custom colouring that makes maps easier to read for those eight percent of the population that suffer from colour-blindness is now easy to produce.
OS spokesman Paul Beauchamp said: "Cartography is a fine art, but the colours that have become so familiar to most of us are actually among the worst possible choices for those with colour blindness. By using our new mapping product, called OS VectorMap Local, councils and businesses will be able to create styles especially for colour-blind people that we hope will make life easier."
This should mean more people can enjoy the great outdoors, back-packing and Summits on the Air with increased confidence.

Racing requires a suitably serious machine, or two, such as this S54-powered 1 Series pair. Built from the ground-up for the Kumho-BMW-Championship , these two ferocious 1 Series are a force to be reckoned with. Words: Elizabeth de Latour. Photos: Matt Richardson.
Racing is something that you're likely to be into if you're into cars. We're not saying this means you follow F1 religiously, for example, or watch every single motorsport race going but if you like cars and you like going fast then whether it's drag racing, NASCAR or hillclimbs there's bound to be a form of motorsport that gets your juices flowing and one that you'd love to have a go at. The glamour and excitement of motor racing has a lure that's hard to resist and many of us can no doubt picture ourselves taking the chequered flag in some exotic location and then partying on a yacht afterwards.
Even if that's not part of the equation, the chance to get behind the wheel of a fullyprepped racer and go wheel-to-wheel out on track is something we'd all love to do.
Easier said than done, mind. Even competing in an affordable race series still isn't all that affordable and, ultimately, if you want to get somewhere you either need mega skills, lots of money or, ideally, both. Like James Cannon, then, who's part of the management at Severn Valley Motorsport. He not only had the funds available to build this incredible pair of 1 Series racers but he's also got the skills to put them to devastating use out on the track.
"I've been racing since I was eight," says the affable James nonchalantly. "I started out in mini stocks and was UK champ aged nine. I then moved onto rallycross, then drifting, and then the Kumho BMW Championship aged 19, racing in Class D where I won multiple races."
He's also got a thing for BMWs and has had a few in his time: an E46 M3 Cab at 18, an X5, a 730d, an E39 M5, an E60 M5, an E63 M6, an E92 M3 last year, and now a 335iX. Having worked his way up to Class A in the Kumho BMW Championship James decided to build himself something suitable but he didn't want to take the well-worn path walked by the other teams, as he explains: "The top class is full of E36 and E46 M3s but the Championship wanted something a bit more glam and I wanted to build something a bit different for the Severn Valley Motorsport race team. I liked the look of the eBay BTCC 1 Series and so that's what I decided to create."
He purchased a pair of 118ds for £4000 each and stripped them down to their bare shells, opting for four-doors as they were cheaper to buy and it's easier to get spares for them in the event of a crash; obviously, being race cars, James had guidelines to build to, so he knew exactly what he was going to do the cars having discussed the requirements for Class A with the Kumho Championship organisers. "Butler Motorsport built the engines and fitted them along with the subframes. Harry Hockly Motorsport supplied the full BTCC-spec cages and Doseley Motors did all the bodywork including fitting the body kits, which are based on the BTCC ones and made in Germany. The rear wings came from last year's eBay BTCC cars."
Built to regs they may be but that doesn't mean that they don't look utterly spectacular with those massively wide arches, the vast rear wing and twin exhausts poking out through the sides of the rear bumper, plus there's the faithfully recreated eBay livery and both cars are also sponsored by the Cannon Run 3000.
If they look spectacular on the outside, under the bonnet is simply mesmerising. Both cars run the S54B32 from the M3 CSL, which is a great place to start, with the engines built to regs. This means fullyforged Cosworth pistons, rods, motorsport cranks and head gaskets but, interestingly, standard cams as they make more power. Of course, what really catches your eye are the gigantic carbon air boxes with their massive intake ducting that dominates the engine bays. "I had the carbon air boxes made for them and we had to relocate the rad to allow them to fit," explains James. The whole lot is watched over by a Motec ECU and Motec also took care of the loom, steering wheel and digital dash.
With the highly-tuned S54 under their bonnets both cars make 380hp. There's potential for more but there's also a good reason to not use it. "When we were testing the engines they made 422hp on the dyno," says James, "but if we went for more power we would have to carry more weight to balance that out and currently the cars weigh 1280kg. Running 380hp gives us a happy medium of power-to-weight for optimum handling. There are two other cars running the same engines, so down the straights there's nothing in it."
The chassis has been thoroughly reworked, as you would expect. The cars both run motorsport subframes and fully adjustable Proflex suspension, while power is transferred to the wheels via (surprisingly) a 525i five-speed manual gearbox (which James says is best suited for the track), through a custom prop to an LSD and custom driveshafts. Meanwhile, behind the classic white Speedline wheels (or Team Team Dynamics, depending on the weather) sit massive AP Racing brakes which are perfectly suited to slowing these fast and furious racers time and time again.
Inside the cars are as stripped-out as you'd expect but that's not to say they've not been finished with plenty of love and attention to detail. In each car there's a mandatory multi-point BTCC-spec cage by Harry Hockly Motorsport, one solitary, super-supportive Cobra racing bucket seat with multi-point harnesses and a Tilton pedalbox. There's also a carbon switch panel, the aforementioned digi dash, and a grippy suede steering wheel. In the back you'll find a custom swirl pot setup and fuel pump. As a finishing touch, the whole interior has been painted.
We ask James whether it would just have been easier (and cheaper) to buy a pair of pre-built race cars? "It was definitely more expensive to build them," he replies. "The other cars on the grid cost about £55,000 bought but each one of ours cost about £80,000. But I know the cars inside out now." And why did James build two cars? "Well, it's good to have a spare, just in case," he says, "and while I mostly race on my own sometimes my dad joins in as well so this way we can race together."
Of course, building the cars is only part of the whole. Once built you need to take them racing. In the Kumho Championship that costs £2500 for one race meeting, which is quite a lot of money but worth it and it's still a lot cheaper than BTCC racing costs, where a weekend of racing will set you back about £10,000. "Most of the races are televised," says James, "and the Class A cars run about half-a-second off the BTCC pace. It's a good chance of getting spotted. I'm only 24 years old among a lot of much older drivers and the BTCC is definitely my ultimate goal; that's where I'd like to be."
Well James has definitely got the skills to make it happen. "My first time out in the car was at Donnington. It was my debut in that car in that class and I came second," he says without a hint of arrogance. "I can't fault the cars at all, they're so good. At Donnington they weren't even set up yet, not even lowered, and I came second having never driven on slicks. I was three seconds slower than a guy who'd been racing for 20 years and knows all the circuits. Obviously I'm aiming for first."
With a strong debut, the only way is up for James and the Severn Valley Motorsport race team and with plans to strip both cars and build them again from the ground up, making them even better and even more formidable on track, James Cannon and his 1 Series twins are definitely worth keeping an eye on.
Team Dynamics wheels are swapped with Speedlines depending on the weather.
Stripped-out interior features full roll-cage, digi-dash and single Cobra seat while boot space is occupied by the fuel system and everything has been painted.
Bodywork is based on the BTCC kits and produced in Germany while massive carbon rear wings were taken from last year's 1 Series BTCC cars.
Engine bays are dominated by the ex-CSL S54 engines, with vast carbon air boxes on both.

5 Things Great Employees Do After They Resign
OK; so you have called it a day and have decided to move on from your current job. Just like most of us, you would also like to believe you are a 'great employee'. All through your tenure, you were an employee held in good esteem by your organization. You had a considerably long association too. Now, you've just resigned and in some time you would be moving on to something new, maybe something better, something different. Great! Now, let's serve the notice period…
In my experience of hiring thousands of people in my career, I have observed myriad, albeit strange developments in the operating patterns of both employees and employers, after the resignation is tendered and exit-formalities commence. Sometimes, these behaviours aren't spot-on and befitting a 'professional'.
Here are the 5 things that I think 'truly great' employees do after they have resigned and are serving the notice-period:
- A 'Truly Great Employee' would not speak ill of her organization, team or supervisor; she'd spread absolutely no negativity around.
- She won't walk around notifying about her 'resignation' to all and sundry. She would discuss and allow the supervisor to plan a communication, as to 'when, to who all and how' and then stay true to the plan.
- She would not stop putting her total dedication and heart in her work, till the very last day and ensure a fair handover.
- She would not use the current offer to 'bargain, just to 'enjoy', even when there isn't any intention to stay. That's just not done.
- She would say, 'Thank You' and mean it. And not just to the boss or immediate colleagues, but also to the stakeholders, to associates in other functions and the support staff. She would just not simply drop an email thank-you note while walking out, would rather walk up to all such fellow-workers and express her appreciation in person.
To my mind, that's what 'truly great employees' do when they resign. And they do so even if their experience with the company and/or the manager wasn't exactly enriching or rewarding, or even when their manager/organization starts treating them differently post resignation. They behave mature and stay committed till the last day of work and even thereafter. And by saying that, I do not mean in any way that feedback, even candid one, should not be given; in fact, one must give constructive feedback during the exit interview process. What I am stressing here is the personal conduct of the employee should remain dignified and graceful. An impactful statement I heard from a senior leader the other day, "Never let your good name be destroyed"; a great employee would stay true to these words, even in the parting days.
Have you similar or some other behaviours in people after they resign? How did you act when you tendered your last resignation? Do share…

Very well written Rishi. I think organizations should track such employees and stay in touch because they will go on and become great leaders. Also as one hires, look to hire folks who display these characteristics as they leave their organizations.
Sir you are absolutely correct, and I am agree with your written Points..but would also comment on, that these situation may take place in a healthy and normal work situation/environment and may not be applicable to all people/organization in their respective profession.
We must respect our org but some times situation comes to individual when S/he acts in undesired manner. Say for forced resignation when company is not performing, to convey massage by management to its people during appraisal time that org balance sheet is not good, (it has become a fashion now a days you can see most of the org are doing that ), giving unnecessary pressure, placement of wrong candidate in wrong position/place, wrong commitments and so.. so many other reasons.
Sir I have gain rich experience and saw the changes in people psychology towards the org, I wont name the org but I can say that if a person is doing some anti org act against the desired act means something wrong is going on somewhere..
Sir no one want to be blacklisted or no one want to leave the org with a bad impression every people looks for the good, healthy, growing, challenging and a long term relationship with employer..
In Indian context, its a great challenge, in Sales/Service or Marketing Organization rather than manufacturing industries. (where people changes avg- 8-10+ org in other industries where as people working in a manufacturing changes max 3-5 but surly not 8-10 org (exceptions are always there) why…??
I would say, you have touched a very sensitive topic once again, as all the industries/business are suffering with it..need to find out solution too..??
Sir-What is your view on this and how to prevent these acts if happens…?
RRG this is so very true..as they say never burn bridges. One question which plagues my mind is how do you handle a few of your peers/ colleagues who are bent on tarnishing your reputation since you have decided to move on. This is in spite the fact that you want to put your best foot forward and contribute till your last day.
What about when you are leaving due to a boss who treated you badly?
No legal case but every bone in my body would struggle to live by your guidelines when you have to fight every urge to stay 'neutral'.

More Information
By applying electric current in pulses, the molecules of the drug applied in positive and negative ions are dissociated. This current causes displacements of polarized ions. The outer membrane of the cells is modified transiently, allowing its permeability as a consequence of the polarity difference between the drug and the cell.
In this way, the actives are conducted to the interior of the cell locally, non-invasively and painlessly. Can be used as an alternative treatment to other more invasive (fillers, mesotherapy, liposuction ...)
Used in conjunction with the suitable active principles achieves amazing results. As a post-traumatic treatment, reduces swelling, relieves pain and enhances the results of other treatments such as microneedles, lifting, etc. Locally and in small accumulations, it cools the fat cells to death, greatly improving the results in eyelids and palpebral bags. The cold breaks the fatty tissue of the treated area attacking the adipocytes, which once reduced or destroyed by the low temperatures, are metabolized and eliminated through the lymphatic system
The E-COOL electrical impulses are capable of conducting more than 40,000 Daltons of solution through the cell membrane. The low temperature at which the skin is subjected (-10C) vitalizes cellular activity, further increasing the penetration ratio of the active.

Sophy Robson is one of the UK's leading manicurists, working on everything from Vogue magazine shoots to catwalk shows and campaigns for Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford and Vivienne Westwood. Known for her statement nail designs, Robson has recently created four exclusive looks to celebrate the launch of the luxurious new Daniel Hersheson at Harvey Nichols nail bar. Here, she reveals how to wear the latest nail trends, plus where to shop for next season's hottest colours.
What nail colours are you coveting this season? Nouvelle Vague by Chanel or Nudge by Illamasqua is still a big hit with me, even more so after seeing it on Beyoncé in her video Why Don't You Love Me? But I am also loving this new translucent top coat by Illamasqua called Prism as this gives nails a new modern gleam. What shades look best on which skin tones? I don't believe in hard and fast rules. I often get comments about my unusual choice of colour. If you think it looks right and it feels good, you should wear whatever colour you like! Do you get as excited by this season's greige and brown tones? The explosion of modern neutrals on to the market is an answer to the prayers of forward-thinking manicurists such as myself, who for a while now were finding the traditional sheer-pink/nude manicure very dated and mumsy. It was time for a change. The trick is to find a shade that compliments or matches your skin tone. So if you find greige doesn't work, try a beige with a warmer tone. This look is chic and glamorous and needs a glossy finish, so always cover it with a glossy top coat such as Seche Vite. I often give advice and tips on my blog in the Sophy's Expert Tips posts.
Who's in your beauty address book at home and on holiday? I always go to Colette in Paris when I am there as they stock the iconic Uslu Airlines brand and they always have unusual colours. I also love Sephora which we don't have here, and picked up an unusual brown shade there which I used on the mannequin hands look at the Louis Vuitton show. I literally spend hours shopping when I'm in California; pretty much all the nail products I buy I get in San Francisco and L.A. There are so many beauty supply stores, everything is so much cheaper and there is always new stuff to discover. Even their regular drugstores like Walgreens or mall shops like Sanrio and Hot Topic have weird polishes and things to try out. They also have brands like Deborah Lippmann over there which you still can't really buy in the UK unless you want to pay a fortune.
What do you think is going to be big for 2011? I've noticed many more girls experimenting with patterns on their nails and I think that will get more and more popular - 3D sculptures have become a big thing in the nail world and I have seen some salons doing it now. Also longer, more elegant Sixties-style manicured nails are back in fashion.

Who beat the market this year? Investors who like the finer things in life.
Luxury assets, including wine, art, classic cars and fancy colored diamonds, have outperformed stocks and bonds in 2018.
"People are looking for a place for their cash, and the security of holding something physical is appealing," said Anthony Maxwell, director at Liv-ex, the London-based wine exchange. "They are looking outside securities, and gold is not what it used to be."
Investors who put money into art at the beginning of the year saw an average gain of 10.6% by the end of November, according to Art Market Research's Art 100 Index, the closest thing the industry has to a benchmark.
In November, David Hockney's painting of a man in a pink jacket by a swimming pool set a record for a living artist at auction, selling for $90.3 million at Christie's New York.
Those investing in wine have seen a 10.2% gain this year, according to the Liv-ex 1000 index, a broad measure that covers wines across regions.
Meanwhile, global stocks have tanked in the past quarter, reversing gains earlier in the year, as analysts fret over slowing global growth and trade tensions between the U.S. and China.
Investors who put money in the S&P 500 at the beginning of the year have lost 5.1%, based on estimates of total return. Those seeking refuge in cash equivalents have gained 1.9% this year, while those holding gold have lost 2.2%.
Yet, the fall in stocks is a recent trend. Analysts say equity markets may well strengthen in the coming months, while the trend for luxury investments could reverse.
"Wine is something to drink and enjoy, and art is something to appreciate," said Robin Creswell, managing principal at Payden & Rygel, a Los Angeles-based asset manager. "You might enjoy the updraft of higher prices in beneficial markets but you shouldn't be surprised if there is a downdraft."
Meanwhile, those who own luxury investments can revel in their relative staying power.
"They will always have some sort of market because somebody loves them," said Andrew Shirley, a partner at global real-estate consulting firm Knight Frank and editor of the group's Wealth Report. "With a share, there is no sense in owning it for the sake of owning it."
The market for high-end diamonds has been steady, gaining 0.4% in value in the first three quarters of 2018, according to the Fancy Color Research Foundation in Tel Aviv.
Eden Rachminov, chairman of the FCRF, a diamond-industry body, says the gemstones can help diversify an investment portfolio and there is almost no volatility in prices.
There are risks involved in holding alternative assets, from regulatory reform to changing tastes, such as a recent shift in demand beyond traditional Bordeaux wines to top-end Burgundy and other varieties.
And the wealth effect that people feel from higher stock markets can reverse itself quickly.
"If people make money on the stock market, they have more money to spend on their hobby," said Dietrich Hatlapa, director of Historic Automobile Group International.
Luxury-car prices were down slightly this year, according to HAGI's Top Index, which covers rare collectors' automobiles—a correction, Mr. Hatlapa says, that was expected given the rate at which investors poured money into the vintage-car market following the 2008 financial crisis.
"They decided to allocate more to classic cars as part of their portfolio because they couldn't find returns elsewhere, but there are more alternatives as interest rates normalize," he added.
Cars have been the best-performing luxury investment over the past 10 years, gaining 289%, according to a report published by Knight Frank earlier this year. Coins gained around 182%, wine 147% and jewelry 125% over the same period, while antique furniture and Chinese ceramics lost value.
Emerging markets represent a large part of demand growth for luxury assets, leaving prices vulnerable to moves in currency markets too, analysts say.
Wine analysts point to the boom that followed the United Kingdom's decision in 2016 to leave the European Union. Political uncertainty over Brexit dragged on sterling, the main currency for trade in wine, creating a buying opportunity for international investors.

California Assembly advances bill requiring 100 percent clean energy by 2045
UCLA students campaigned for Senate Bill 100, a bill mandating California reach 100 percent renewable energy generation by 2045 authored by state senator Kevin de León. (Courtesy of CALPIRG Students)
By Melissa Morris
Sept. 3, 2018 11:46 p.m.
This post was updated Sept. 12 at 12:49 p.m.
California legislators passed a bill Aug. 28 that will require the state to generate 100 percent of its electricity from renewable and zero-carbon sources by 2045.
Senate Bill 100 accelerates California's current renewable energy goals. The state will generate 50 percent of its electricity from clean sources by 2026 instead of 2030. SB 100 also mandates that California will generate 60 percent renewable electricity by 2030 and 100 percent renewable electricity by 2045.
The California Public Interest Research Group at UCLA campaigned extensively to pass SB 100.
Nico Gist, the UCLA CALPIRG chapter chair and a rising fourth-year political science student, said the organization made phasing out fossil fuels a top priority because climate change is going to drastically impact lives in the coming decades.
"With SB 100, we had an opportunity to make our voices heard and ensure that the state is looking out for our best interests and protecting our future," Gist said.
Nicolas Riani, the vice chair of CALPIRG at UCLA and a rising second-year public affairs student, said roughly 80 UCLA student volunteers were involved in campaigning for SB 100.
CALPIRG collected 20,000 petitions statewide, over 1,500 of which came from UCLA. The UCLA chapter also tweeted more than 300 photo petitions and got more than 80 students to call assembly member Sydney Kamlager-Dove, who represents the UCLA area, and Anthony Rendon, the speaker of the California Assembly.
Riani added that the chapter met with 60 legislators in support of SB 100, including Rendon, at two statewide lobbying days in Sacramento. They also hosted a press conference on the state capitol steps, which the bill's author, state Sen. Kevin de León, and others attended.
Kyle Alves, the 100% Renewable Energy campaign coordinator at UCLA and a rising second-year environmental science student, said CALPIRG will continue its efforts to push for 100 percent renewable energy at UCLA.
"Continuing the momentum of passing SB 100 is the primary goal moving forward, and we will work to translate that to sway UCLA to go 100 percent renewable and then the rest of LA," Alves said.
He added that CALPIRG will use many of the same campaigning tools from SB 100 efforts, such as grassroots organizing, collecting petitions and enlisting the support of other student groups. However, CALPIRG will also incorporate new techniques such as creating video content and hosting events.
"We also want to move in new directions to truly show student care by creating engaging videos and events," Alves said. "We want to exclaim that it's now time to mirror the goals set at the state level to tangible actions at the local."
Gov. Jerry Brown signed the bill into law Sept. 10.
California is the second state to generate solely clean energy by 2045, after Hawaii.

One last thing. Jim needs to seriously consider his source. There was absolutely no extended highs or blooming mid range at all and a little toe in may have helped sound staging.
My impression like other was that the sound was disappointing. But what gets me is that other rooms with similar challenges had better sound. I must admit that the Salk speakers just didn't rise to the level I had anticipated. what I'm getting at is that even thought others vendors complained about the bright rooms (Grape Vine Audion for one and btw had one of the BEST sounding rooms at the show) you could still gauge the potential of the speaker leaving you with the impression there was more to gain from them. The Salks just didn't have that effect on me.
I think people should be more respectful of unpopular/lukewarm opinions of Salks, no one speaker if for everyone.Now onto something more important, my opinion. Regarding the Soundscapes, the dynamics, clarity, soundstage, and the way the speakers completely disappeared from the room was just so above and beyond what I've heard before, I was left speechless. Ridiculous.
Hey ricman, after the next review comes out I suspect you will seriously reconsider suggesting that Jim Salk "seriously considers his source." Best regards,Frank Van Alstine
Hi I'm glad you liked the speaks, and I also agree that we shouldn't jump on anyone who didn't hear what we heard. I'm really not apologizing for the sound in any way--that was one big hog room, and it made vocals very difficult as I think you can understand, but at the same time all that space above and behind the speakers made for some very dramatic presentations--particularly on organ, brass, and Big Bass Drums.
Jim or Swerd - Was the Thai meal courtesy of Thai Basil in Chantilly? I know its a fair ways from Swerd's house, but it is well known across the country for having great Thai food (it was also featured on Food Network).
Which speaker was reviewed?
We ate Thai food at Benjarong http://www.benjarongthairestaurant.com/, a place nearby the Glenview Mansion in Rockville.I have to agree with the others who thought the room had a lot to do with the disappointing sound. It had very high ceilings, marble floors, and all the walls and ceilings were plaster. Not only was that room very large, it was empty of furniture. All those hard surfaces had an effect that I thought was quite different from the other rooms of the mansion, large or small, which had much lower ceilings, wooden floors, furnishings, and curtains.I've heard Salk speakers including the SoundScapes in a variety of other rooms, and none of them were like the room at the Glenview mansion. That room had the ambiance more like a railroad station or a cathedral than any room in a private home.So to respond to the person who voiced the lukewarm or unpopular opinions, I respect your impressions. I think you described what I heard too. But I urge you to listen to Salk speakers again under different conditions before you make those your settled opinions.
To answer the easy question first, yes--you should listen to the ST's on the tweeter axis. The two woofs will start to cancel each other in the upper midrange if you don't. Ideally, the tweeter probably should be a little higher, but there's only so much you can do in an MTM without making the cabinet too tall for the width--both from an aesthetic and stability standpoint. And ideally, the tweeter should be a little lower on the SoundScape. Again, aesthetics come into play. But the SS's are much less sensitive to listening axis than an MTM. Nothing horrible will happen if your ears happen to end up at the bottom of the tweeter or a little lower. A little dip will start to develop at the crossover point, but I think it would only be audible on pink or white noise.
Comparing different gear in different rooms? Apples, meet oranges.
I don't think it's AVA electronics. May be it's the choice of music, the file format........

When a sequel to a beloved film is 14 years in the making, you expect a lot and hope it won't disappoint. The Incredibles 2 lives up to those expectations.
In fact, it takes the best elements of the first film - fantastic characters, fun family dynamics, an important message, a wonderful cast - throws in several more themes that are socially relevant today, and makes it all work.
The sequel doesn't skip a beat - literally. The first film ends with the Parr family in the parking lot of the kids' school when Underminer drills through the ground, and the second starts with them trying to stop him and save the city. For their efforts, the super family is arrested and reminded that "supers" are still illegal.
Ant-Man and The Wasp is the perfect balance of action and comedy, and a nice breather after Avengers: Infinity War [Review]
Just as they're at their lowest, and as Helen (Holly Hunter) and Bob (Craig T. Nelson) struggle to agree on whether to raise their children to try to be normal or to embrace who they are, a wealthy businessman, Winston Deavor (Bob Odenkirk), enters their lives and invites them to get on board with a plan to make superheroes legal again. Not only is this a way for Helen and Bob to be restored to their former glory, it's also a way to ensure their kids, Violet (Sarah Vowell), Dash (newcomer Huck Milner), and Jack Jack (Eli Fucile) won't ever have to suppress who they really are the way their parents had to.
When Elastigirl is chosen to spearhead this initiative, Bob takes on being a solo parent for the first time while his wife goes off to kick some baddies' butts.
Soon, Elastigirl finds herself chasing after Screenslaver, an evil genius and superb villain who controls people through monitors and gets them to do all the dirty work.
What follows is a well-knit plot that cleverly weaves together two storylines: the challenges of parenting and defying gender stereotypes with Bob, and stepping out of someone's shadow to take the stage and do your best with Elastigirl. The thing that really connects the two are the subliminal messages that will inspire younger audiences to be decent and accepting, while striking a chord with older audiences who will see them as a reflection of the biggest and most important global conversations of the moment.
Skyscraper hardly reaches new heights, but The Rock's stunts are as awesome as ever [Review]
The Incredibles 2 flawlessly portrays the importance of representation for minorities. A conversation between Elastigirl and a new "super" named Voyd (Sophia Bush) about what it meant for the newbie to see her hero step out and be unapologetically herself can easily be a conversation happening in our own world among the LGBT, ethnic minority, and disabled communities; or others who are often underrepresented or disadvantaged, such as women.
From addressing the difficulties of being a parent to highlighting the world's obsession with social media, this film manages to showcase very modern social issues in a way that will appeal to both kids and adults.
As a whole, The Incredibles 2 shines not only as another solid Disney and Pixar animation, it really stands up as a good film in general. Everything about this sequel, from the pace to the plot, and the characters' development to the creative powers imagined for the roster of new superheros, is a win. The fact it resonates so well is a bonus. Oh, and don't worry, fan favourites like Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson) and Edna Mode (the film's director Brad Bird) reprise their roles as well, and they're both fabulous, darling.
The Incredibles 2 won't make you weep the way Toy Story 3 or Finding Dory did, but like many other Pixar films, this one is incredible, too.
The Incredibles 2 hits cinemas on July 19.

Find out more at: Amazon | iBooks | B&N | Kobo
Emma Jane skipped her wedding because she thought her fiancée didn't love her. Eight years later he buys the magazine she works for and becomes her new boss.
Knox has waiting a long time to serve his revenge. Now is time to make Emma Jane pay for leaving him at the altar.
Could revenge finally set him free from his past? Or should they give love a second chance?
- Cover: It's a good cover. We know is going to be about a wedding or at least the wedding will be important somehow. I like the play with colors and the rose petals give a delicate touch.
- Plot: The book is fast-paced, keeps you guessing and wanting more. The author's writing style is really good, free of typo mistakes, cohesive with everything pertinent to the story.
- Characters: They are the stars of the show here. They are easy to love, connect and understand. Several amazing secondary characters and I'm really looking forward to reading Becket's book.
- Heat: The couple has good chemistry and the smut scenes are done well.
- Addictiveness: It was an easy read for me and I almost read the entire book in one sitting.
- Plot: I know misunderstandings happen but I found the reason for all the hurt in the story to be weak and that it took longer than it needed to be solved. And because this is the main point of the plot here, I took out a half a star from my review.
- Freshness: You know how everything is going to happen, there is no big twist or turn to the plot. But I didn't miss it either. It is such fun, entertaining read that if you enjoy a good romance, this is it!
I'm a character type of reader. I love well created characters. All the characters in this book are multi-dimensional and have lots to offer. Besides Knox and Emma Jane that are amazing there are so many secondary characters that I would love to know more. Becket, Madison, Wells… I'm looking forward to reading their book.

Barely a minute passes before the din of light conversation ebbs to complete silence when a man enters the room and heads straight for the opposite end of the table. I can only see the back of him as he takes long, powerful strides, one hand grasping a thick binder. Something seems so familiar about him… My eyes track his movements, and my forehead creases as I try to place him.
His suit is well tailored and it's evident the man works out because even beneath the black pinstriped dress pants, his backside is firm, the fabric doing nothing to mask his powerful, muscled thighs. When he moves to set the binder down, his suit jacket shifts and hints at a firm, flat stomach beneath the button-down shirt. My appraisal continues down to his hands when he draws one hand back from the binder.
An odd sensation overtakes me, and a rousing awareness crackles within the air, causing me to immediately grow still.
Then he turns, fully facing everyone in the room, and it's in this moment my breath is completely robbed from me.
As if in shock, my mind refuses to operate on all cylinders, acting sluggish. I continue to take in the sight before me, cataloguing my observations. The square jawline that used to remain clean-shaven now has a short, neatly trimmed beard of the same dark shade of brown as his hair. My eyes skim over the straight nose that has the faintest bump on the bridge from the time when he was five and fel—
Sweet Lord, no.
As the man's identity dawns on me, my eyes flicker over my coworkers seated around the large table before I return my panicked gaze to the individual who's garnering attention with his commanding presence.
He surveys everyone in attendance and those piercing green eyes, framed by dark lashes, scan each person and slowly travel around the table. My heart skips a beat when his eyes lands on me. If I weren't scrutinizing so intently, I wouldn't have caught the slight pause, the faint shift in depth of his gaze, as it grows frigid before he continues his perusal of the remainder of the staff members.
My throat grows dry and I immediately wish I'd brought my water bottle along. A stick of gum, even. Anything.
I should've known better than to think my past wouldn't catch up to me at some point.
In my case, however, it seems my past is the new owner of my place of employment.
Knox Montgomery. The man I left at the altar.
