The Brothers and their families had a good time at the Bar-B-Que with attendance in excess of 70. The Most Learned F. Ed Street did a fine job with the cooking, as did several other Brothers with additional preparations and cleanup. It was nice to see the families of our new Brothers. All had a good time and we were successful in raising additional operating funds.
Brothers Dale Thomas and Will Jarvis volunteered their time at the Masonic Home this week with our District Deputy R:. W:. Bro. Rick Hoover and R:. W:. Bro. J. David Neveitt to assist the maintenance crews with clearing out all of the salvageable hospital hardware, plumbing, drapes, TV-VCRs and the like, from the 1st and 2nd floors of the construction sectors. There is a considerable amount of asbestos removal required in the building before any renovations or upgrades can happen. By whatever means, the costs of these projects, ultimately, will be paid for by the Craft. Remember the Masonic Home and the Masonic Home Endowment Fund that keeps the home running and our need to contribute to it in order to have continuing care for the future.
New and newly reactivated Brothers have been doing fine Degree work and it is a pleasure to see the turnout at these Degrees and the reactions of the spectators. It's good to keep rotating everyone and allowing Brothers to flourish in their roles and at their own pace. Any Brother can sit at any station, to which they have exhibited pro-ficiency, for a Degree and it is encouraged but not required.
Football Season is just around the corner and that means we get to work the Bucs games as an additional fundraiser. It is important for all able-bodied persons to assist whenever they can as ushers at Raymond James Stadium. The funds earned from these games go a long way to offset operating costs of the Lodge. Just remember - the Lodge gets paid for you to go watch an NFL Football Game. This is open to members and non-members.
The Lodge will have another yard sale on Saturday, 27 September 2003 starting at 8 AM till ? with a cookout. Start bringing in your donations of fine objects d'art or other sellable "junque".
There is customarily a meeting after the meeting, which runs to about midnight where a good deal of discussion is made for creative outlet in the area of fundraising. There have been some changes recently at Grand Lodge that give us some more latitude in this area. Some of the discussion has covered the areas where we have been re-stricted to act and the subsequent conditions we now labor under. At no time should a Brother view the observ-ations, noted in these discussions, as prophecies of doom or finger pointing at the imagined shortcomings of a few Past Masters. Those views are counter-productive and serve the shameless delusions of self-seekers and the bitter. Our Fraternity is laboring within a culture that is experiencing rapid changes and the Brothers in our Lodge look to the challenges we face with enthusiasm and a desire to act on the best interests of the Fraternity for the long term. Our Lodge and the Craft will undergo some changes in the near future and it should be done with the selfless intent to keep it alive and flourishing in the future.
Let us remember those people in our prayers, who go in harms way in defense of our Liberties and those Ideals we hold sacred.

Congratulations to Brother Graham Parsons, as he gave back his EA Proficiency July 14th and was Passed to the Degree of Fellow Craft July 21st.
The Grand Master's Official Visit to our District was very enjoyable. R:. W:. J. David Neveitt presented M:. W:. John R. Givens with an Honorary Membership to our Lodge. He also presented the Grand Master with a check of $100 for the Grand Master's Charity and a check for $100 for the First Lady's project. The Grand Master's Charity is the Masonic Home and the First Lady's project is to buy a pontoon boat for the Masonic Home residents to use for fishing trips.
My Brothers, I am excited about our growth this year. In May we Raised 3 Master Masons. In June we Initiated 3 Entered Apprentices and accepted 2 Dual Members. We are processing 5 petitions for the Three Degrees of Freemasonry, and 1 petition for dual membership. We also have 3 dual memberships pending as we await their Certificates of Good Standing. Let's encourage our new Brothers to bring in their "qualified" (remembering their EA Charge) family members and friends.
Soon we will have two sons Raising their fathers to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason. Brother Drew White-house will Raise his Father Tom and Brother Scot Moldenhauer will Raise his Father Bill.
With the Eastern Star dark, and many Brothers on vacation we need your support for the August Cook Out. If you're in the area please try and make it. We also need your support for the EA Degrees this month.
We have a very busy schedule ahead of us with four new candidates to receive the Three Degrees of Freemasonry, also four Entered Apprentices are preparing to give back their proficiency and become Fellow Crafts. We have been having a good turnout for our practice sessions and hope it will continue. It is also good to see some of the newer brothers working hard on their proficiency cards with Most Learned Brother Ed Street. Brother Ed also did a great job with our recent bar-b-cue. The food and fellow ship was excellent. It was great to see Brothers and their ladies from the Grotto and Brothers and Sisters of the Eastern Star.
Please keep our troops in you hearts and prayers as they protect our freedom and we all hope the come home safely.
Another month has passed, and we have again added more new members to our ranks. This is the key to the survival of our fraternity. Thanks again to the Brothers that have covered for me in my absence, you are all greatly appreciated. I would like to commend the officers for performing top-notch degree work this year, it is always a pleasure to see a flawless degree. I would also like to recognize WM Reedy for all of his tireless efforts managing the affairs of the lodge, he is a true leader that younger brothers like myself aspire to someday emulate. We have a super lodge, filled with active dedicated Brothers who are getting the job done! Have a great month!
Generosity - God gave us life and the ability to enjoy everything. One day we asked God to answer our prayers. God replied: I have provided you with everything.
Gratitude - A loser in the human race will blame others for their bad luck and misfortunes. Hate and jealousy will be their constant companion. The winner of the human race will embrace adversity with a smile and continue to enjoy each experience this wonderful world presents. Each precious moment is a gift from God.
Worshipful Brother F. "Ed" Street was born in Kirksville, Missouri, the "Show me" state. Lucky for us, Ed believes in that motto and for the past several years has been "showing" us the proper Masonic Ritual.
WB Ed grew up in Purdin, MO where his Dad was a farmer and auctioneer. He graduated from Linn County R-1 High School in 1971. He attended and graduated from Platte Business College, located in St. Joseph, MO in 1973.
In 1978 WB Ed and his family moved to Burlington, Kansas to start work in the construction business. Due to a lack of work in the area, they moved to Zavalla, Texas, which is about 30 miles south of Lufkin. Eventually they missed the kids and in 1990 moved to St. Petersburg to be closer to their children and grand children. He started working road construction for Ajax Paving and still works for the same company. Karen currently works as a beautician at Menorah Manor in St. Petersburg.
While working a job on 54th Avenue in St. Petersburg, he met Worshipful Brother Ron Schenck and became a member of our Lodge. WB Ed attended a "One Day Class". After the class, WB Ron became his Coach and Mentor and encouraged him to become active in our Lodge and earn his various Proficiency Cards. WB Ed also credits Worshipful Brother "Sam" Chancey as playing a major role in his obtaining the Gold Card.
WB Ed has been a very active Mason since he was "Raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason". In addition to serving in the Lodge's line he has also been giving the Lectures for the various Degrees in our Lodge and other Lodges in the 20th and 21st Masonic Districts for several years. He has also been a Mentor, Coach and Lodge Instructor for the past several years. He is also well known for his "Fish Fries" and "Barb-B-Ques" as fundraisers for our Lodge.
WB Ed Street's talents and abilities were recognized by the M:. W:. Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Florida at the Grand Communication in May, 2003 when his was Installed as District Instructor for the 21st Masonic District.
In addition to Masonry, Brother Ed has another passion, stock car racing. He owns and drives a Pure Stock (1975 Chevrolet Monte Carlo) at Desoto Speedway. Rumor has it, there's a young driver pushing "Grand Pa" for his position as driver. Brother Ed also enjoys restoring old trucks and cars. He is currently restoring a 1976 pickup.

Worshipful Brother Ed Street did an excel-lent job preparing the "Country Style" Ribs at our BBQ in July.
Not only was it a profitable fundraiser, it was also a very enjoyable day of fun and fellow-ship.

I'm reluctant to admit defeat but the concept isn't exactly catching on. Will working from home irretrievably damage my standing at work?
A: If, 20 years or so ago, you believed some of the more confident futurologists, you must now be disappointed to find that the reality of the paperless office recedes daily and that very little manufacturing industry is based in outer space. The widely predicted trend of working from home - tele-working from tele-villages - has been almost as slow to materialise; yet no-one whose educational experience included schools with both boarding and day pupils should be at all surprised.
Technologically, working from home still makes rational sense. There you are, in your well-equipped den, looking out over the Chiltern Hills, linked by high-speed broadband to the whole world, with fax, mobile and landline as back up. Of course you can work as well from home: probably even more productively, because there are fewer interruptions, fewer people dropping by for a gossip, and no time-consuming, energy-draining commute.
But rational analysis ignores the human instinct to pick sides, to form teams. It's not a noble instinct and it can be cruel, but we followed it at school and we follow it as adults. Boarders and day-bugs were segregated tribes. To boarders, day-bugs were irretrievably inferior. And you, I'm sorry to say, are a day-bug now.
There may even be some truth in your boss's suggestion that you're missing something. Those interruptions and distractions, those moments of apparently idle gossip, can have a unifying effect that no amount of texting, phoning or e-mailing will ever replace. If you were in the majority, it might be different. But that's clearly not going to happen quickly in your present company.
If working from home has become extremely important to you, you might be able to find another firm that actively encourages the practice. Failing that - and I feel a bit feeble saying so - I think you'd better call off the experiment. But please don't see it as admitting defeat: experiments don't have to succeed to be worthwhile.
Please address your problems to Jeremy Bullmore at: Management Today, 174 Hammersmith Road, London W6 7JP. Or e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com. Regrettably, no correspondence can be entered into.

Welcome to Humor Nation. Lucifer has become one of the most binge-watched shows on Netflix right now. A week ago Netflix released the fourth season of the show and it didn't take long for the fans. The fans completed watching all the ten episodes of the latest season on Netflix as soon as they can.
Even after finishing the show, the fans didn't stop and rest, they bombarded the internet with a very serious question, "WHEN WILL WE GET SEASON 5 OF LUCIFER?". They started taking over the Twitter with #RenewLucifer #SaveLucifer hashtags. This sounds kinda familiar because when FOX Cancelled Lucifer after the brilliant and shocking season 3 Cliffhanger, the fans started a revolution on the Internet which prompted the Netflix to pick up Lucifer.
Lucifer has the best fans in the world because they just want more and more…and more from the show. This time they have again started a campaign on the Internet and is letting Netflix know what they want. Since Netflix believes in serving the content that fans want.
TAKE THE QUIZ: How Well Do You Know Chloe Decker From Lucifer?
Season 4 of the show ended with a shocking and emotional cliffhanger. Many fans are worried about what would happen next and could they get to see their favorite stars again? The fans started the discussion on Season 5 and they simply mean business. They want to know the release date of Season 5 of Lucifer and the plot-line.
Beautiful actress Lesley-Ann Brandt who plays the role of Maze AKA Mazikeen, a demon from hell who came to Earth with Lucifer has become an integral part of the show. Her latest comments might just have confirmed that there will be a season 5.
In an interview given to the MEA Worldwide. When the actress was asked about the Season 5 and what the fans could expect from it, she said,
"I think we might. Our [lucifer] trailer has got four million views, which is so crazy and at the same time it was humbling. I hope so (that there is season five) as there is so much story that we could tell, and the way we ended the season 4, it was on a massive surprising cliffhanger. So, I just don't see how we don't have a season five."
Also Read: Lucifer TV Show Cast And The Real Salary Of Lucifer Actors
Last time when FOX cancelled Lucifer, it was Mazikeen who motivated the fans to take the fight, to let their voices be heard to the bosses of the channel, to let them know what the fans want. Speaking to HollywoodLife, she said,
"it is a very epic, epic, epic cliffhanger. If you thought that season three cliffhanger was big, then this one is pretty darn amazing. It leads us to — how can we not do a season five? take the story further Fans are going to be salivating and begging for more absolutely. I mean, I feel like we're [FANS] going to break the internet and possibly break Netflix. They [fans] are going to let their voices be known to Netflix."
It means that you can expect another Season of Your favorite Lucifer, i.e. Season 5, is coming for you. Of course, you have to wait because there is no official confirmation by the showrunner and Netflix. Since star has commented about the show, you don't have to wait for official confirmation and release date of the show.

Q&A: Native American Theater and Lynn Riggs
The Cherokee playwright Lynn Riggs (1899–1954) was the only Native American dramatist writing for the Broadway stage during the beginning of the 20th century. As a child of the Cherokee Nation, Riggs (above) witnessed the social, legal and cultural changes of his community when, in 1907, Indian Territory became Oklahoma. This childhood experience inspired Green Grow the Lilacs, a Pulitzer-Prize nominated drama that was later adapted into the hit musical Oklahoma!
On Wednesday, Nov. 17 and Thursday, Nov. 18, the National Museum of the American Indian will host a production of Green Grow the Lilacs by the U.S. Naval Academy's theater troupe, the Masqueraders. Dr. Christy Stanlake, a scholar in Native American theater and director of the Masqueraders, recently spoke with NMAI about how she first learned of Riggs' work, her students' reactions to the play and what she hopes her audience will take away from the performances.
Why did you choose to stage this particular play?
I've been interested in Riggs for a long time, and the play of his that I really want to direct one day is The Cherokee Night, an amazing, powerful play. Of course, because I direct the USNA theatre program, my play selection is also shaped by our particular audience, an audience that is too young to really understand the more controversial scenes in The Cherokee Night. I chose Green Grow the Lilacs because it appears to be such a "mainstream" play; nevertheless, it includes Native dramaturgical elements that are challenging, highly philosophical, and dramatically haunting.
For almost eighty years, this play has been produced as if it harbors no Native presence, but if you really look at the script, you see characters asserting Native American intellectual traditions, people surviving despite overwhelming political changes, and ceremonial actions relating people to one another and the land around them. This is the beauty of Riggs' writing. He introduced a Native theatrical language onto the Broadway stage when most portrayals of Native people were pure stereotype. He gave the American Theatre an element of Native dramaturgy, which we are just now beginning to see and celebrate. As far as I know, this is one of if not the only, staging of Riggs's Green Grow the Lilacs to use Native American theatrical staging practices, but I am certain that this sort of interpretation of his plays is going to grow to be the norm.
How did you first learn about Lynn Riggs?
I've been studying Native American theatre since I met JudyLee Oliva, a Chickasaw playwright, at the University of Oklahoma in 1996. She had come to OU to do a workshop production of Te Ata, a play about a classically trained Chickasaw actress who had performed a one-woman show from the 1920s through the 1980s. The more I learned about Native American theatre and Native American philosophies, the more I loved them.
I had known about Riggs, who like Oliva and I, had also been a student at OU in his youth; however, I didn't do much writing about him until I was writing my book, Native American Drama: A Critical Perspective. In one of the chapters, I wrote about Riggs's use of place/landscape in The Cherokee Night, and what his play taught me about the way Native dramatists can use place (setting in theatre) blew my mind. Riggs was a genius; he was so far ahead of his time. Since writing about The Cherokee Night, I have not tired of Riggs. His plays and his own personal writings about the theatre, and his hopes for a new type of American theatrical language, have so much to teach us. I feel I learn from his works every day.
How have your students reacted to learning about Riggs and rehearsing this play?
I think they've really enjoyed learning about Native American intellectual traditions and the way in which those perspectives shape character choices. Some of our actors have Native lineage, such as Kiley Provenzano, who plays Laurey and is also part Chickasaw. While others do not; nevertheless, they often surprise me when I hear them speak about what they've learned.
Recently, Sylvia Kilburn, our Aunt Eller, was talking about what she had learned from Eller about her persistence against all odds, about loss, and survival. Sylvia said that she chose to sing Eller's songs with power and a twang because, to Sylvia, Eller represented someone who had been through so much but grew strength from her relationship to the landscape around her, qualities that are earthy and powerful. John Tanalega, our Curley, has really connected with the lyrical, ceremonial, visionary ways that Curley uses language to shape others and the world around him.
All of the Midshipmen have commented upon how the play makes them consider the perspectives of Iraqis and people from Afghanistan who have been living through the political and cultural changes occurring in their homeland warzones.
How do you hope this particular production will showcase the Native American roots and themes of Lynn Riggs' original text?
I hope that people will see a play that is both familiar, in terms of story, but also enlightening, in the way that the production reveals the Native presence that Riggs created through his setting and characters. I think some of our production choices will be more obvious than others to audience members. For example, many of the characters wear clothing that is a mix of western, early 20th century dress and Native American dress: some of the men wear ribbon shirts to the dance; some of the women wear tear dresses.
While clothing may be obvious, ceremony will be less obvious to some people but even more important to the production. For example, Scene 5 will showcase the communal values of this Cherokee community. Those will be emphasized even more by Curley, when he honors the four directions with Laurey after their marriage. The shivoree in Scene 6, then, works as an opposite type of ceremony. Rather than the clockwise circles we see characters dance to in the party scene at Old Man Peck's, the shivoree dance undoes the community: the men dance counter clockwise and engage in profane gestures that damage the community. I hope the juxtaposition of these two scenes will show the extreme cultural perspectives the characters face as Indian Territory and its communal ways of life pull against the individualistic, material desires, influenced by Manifest Destiny.
For more information, visit the Museum of the American Indian's calendar.

Making applesauce and tomato sauce
Have you ever washed, cut, and cooked apples, put through juicer strainer with a large tea strainer on pan to drain juice from pulp? It makes thick applesauce, and apple butter. Season and can. Then I can juice. Not as much cooking time this way. I do the same thing with tomatoes.
Peggy Wilburn
Macon, Georgia
No, I haven't done that. What I do is use my Mehu Liisa steam juicer to extract about a quart of juice from my washed, cut apples, then use that for jelly or apple juice. Then I just run the remaining pulp through my old Victorio tomato strainer which gives me nice thick pulp in one bowl and peels in the other. The pulp is then either canned as applesauce or mixed with sugar and spices to make my apple butter. With the tomatoes, I use the Mehu Liisa to steam the tomatoes. Like the apples, I extract about a quart of tomato broth (it doesn't look like tomato juice; it's yellowish and watery but makes great soup base), then dump the tomatoes into my Victorio and crank out thickened tomato sauce. Both are quick and easy. — Jackie
Storing fresh carrots
I was wondering why you can your carrots instead of just storing them in your basement like the potatoes and onions?
Elizabeth Seymour
Whitefish, Montana
We do store some carrots for using fresh during the winter. But we grow so many that I always can up a lot. First, it is very convenient to have jars of pre-cooked carrots to use as a quick side dish or to dump into a roast. Secondly, they keep, when canned, nearly forever — unlike the fresh stored carrots. Finally, you just never know what next year is going to bring; a bad gardening year, sickness, injury (like when Will and I fell off the barn roof) or whatever "emergency" situation should happen. So I can't always depend on just growing more next year to store fresh. This is why I also can up some potatoes and dehydrate my extra onions — convenience and preparedness. — Jackie
Using crabapples
In our house, if we can't find the answers to questions in books or past magazines, someone always says, "Let's ask Jackie!" So here's our question: We've made all sorts of things from our crabapples: jelly, candied, dried, etc. Does it make good drinking juice? Could we add sugar to taste and can it up that way? It is bitter from the juice steamer. Hate to waste it if it doesn't taste good when we're done.
Wendy Hause
Gregory, Michigan
Ask away Wendy! It all depends on the variety of your crabapples. Some are great, juiced, for drinking. And some just aren't. What I'd do is try a batch and see if by adding sugar and/or a little water, if necessary, you can balance the taste to your likes. If not, you can always can up the juice so you have a safe, secure stock for making apple jelly at a future date. Once you know your tree better, you can choose to juice or not, based on your experience. We have three crabapples in our orchard. Two are wonderful for eating fresh or for making applesauce and butter. One is not so hot so we leave it for the birds with plans for grafting on to it soon. — Jackie

Lately, the Indian football space has been experiencing a lot of traction from brands. From auto manufacturers to FMCG to finance to sports, brands just can't get enough of the second most popular sport in the country. With homegrown leagues like ISL and I-League playing their game right, the reach of this sport is one of the crucial factors for this heed. Bringing this to perspective, who wouldn't want to leverage a game that keeps over 100 million fans hooked – well beyond 90 minutes?
But while these leagues have been in there for quite some time, one sporting extravaganza which is religiously followed by football fans across the world is - Premier League. And like every year, this year too the league has not just kept the hype up, but has also been grabbing quite a few eyeballs of the Indian marketing fraternity. The league, which acts as an umbrella - sheltering world-class talent and prominent franchisees backed by global viewership - has already had a successful stint in filling up the broadcasting inventory. To understand more, we got in touch with Ben Verhaert, President – South Asia, AB InBev (Budweiser's parent company), Broadcast Co-presenting Sponsor of PL. In his interaction with Debashish Chakraborty of afaqs! Reporter, he talks about Budweiser's association with global football, marketing objectives, customised activations, yield factor, and more.
India homes a mind- boggling base of over 100 million followers of football. How does a brand like Budweiser plan to cater and connect with them?
The enthusiasm around football has grown multifold in India over the past decade. Drumming into this very passion point, Budweiser has been curating tailored experiences and engaging content to celebrate the zeal and gusto of the sport with fans locally and worldwide. Budweiser 0.0's recent association with the highly followed EPL and La Liga in India is yet another step in that direction. Our efforts are steered to provide football enthusiasts an opportunity to come together, enjoy the sport and give the event a more celebratory vibe.
Budweiser has had a prolonged association with the football space worldwide. What was the idea behind getting on board as the Broadcast co-presenting partner for Premier League in India?
Our overarching ambition is to bring people together while energising and inspiring them to bring alive the euphoric energy of the game. We are all about creating bona fide experiences that connect with individuals on a personal level while harmonising crowds. We have been a long-time partner of the FIFA World Cup, which has allowed us to champion our dream of energising and inspiring the 3.2 billion football fans watching the world cup across the globe. Given our commitment to football, we saw an opportunity with Premier League to further connect with fans and engage with them not just once in four years, but year-round, with large-scale activations, on-ground screenings and engagement activities across key markets.
What factors do you think brands and marketers consider before putting their bet on an association like this? How did Budweiser come to this conclusion?
As a brand, we are core believers in engaging with and exploring opportunities that fuel unity and bring people together. We have brought this to life in all our activations and collaborations with music festivals and our very own IP - BUDX. Football, similarly, is all about bringing people together, uniting people through their mutual love for the sport or their favourite teams,the chants or the friendly banter - the atmosphere truly brews a sense of togetherness. It is also a high energy spectacle and the very euphoric vibe surrounding the sport is what excites us and drives us to associate with sporting events, be it our long- term partnership with the FIFA World Cup, the Premier League or the La Liga.
While sporting properties like ISL and I-League are homegrown, Premier League is a global extravaganza. What connect do you plan to establish?
Football is one of the biggest passion points for our consumers in India and excitement around the sport has grown significantly over the years. The Premier League is one of the most popular sporting tournaments in the country and by partnering with them on a global scale, Budweiser 0.0 aims to elevate the experience for our consumers here in India by bringing the sport closer to them – through exclusive match viewing parties and engagement activities with official fan clubs. We want to offer well-curated experiences as well as exclusive content surrounding the kings of the game to our consumers, allowing us to be an integral part of their football experience and celebrate the spirit of the game together.
Big screen activation, Select FC, caters to a huge fan base. What kind of activities or customisations can we expect from Budweiser here?
We are running an integrated campaign in India with mainline and digital advertising, strategic digital activations with a central theme of how it is in all of us to taste greatness and be a King. We are also driving brand experiences through our hero asset, the Budweiser Light-up Cup. We also have exclusive fan parks where we showcase the iconic league trophy and viewing parties combined with engagement activities at all the screenings to keep the fans engaged and celebrate the excitement surrounding the game. Additionally, we are also looking at content partnerships to celebrate the growing relevance and cultural impact of the game within the country. Our association with Premier League and La Liga goes beyond mere sponsorship. We are committed to growing the passion for the beautiful game around the world and this will be brought to life through a series of well-curated experiences that celebrate the sport and the players.
Where do you think the target group of Budweiser and PL converge?
By regular interactions with consumers and active social listening, we know that football is a key passion point of our consumers. The excitement around the sport has grown significantly over the years and this presented us a massive opportunity to engage with our consumers through sports associations that are meaningful to them and also share the passion we have for football with them. Considering our long-term association with the sport as the official partners of the FIFA World Cup and several football tournaments across the globe, it was only natural for us to take it to the next level with our partnerships with Premier League and La Liga which enjoy a growing fan following all over the world, especially in India.
With an opportunity to have a significant reach and visibility, how do you plan to gain maximum value out of this association? What kind of returns are you expecting?
Through our association with Premier League, we have been passionately determined to craft exceptional experientials for the Indian football fans. It is our belief that if sporting fans can be gratified through all the relevant touchpoints and provide for a stimulating and highly engaging experience– then we have not only retained a fan but earned their loyalty with a promise that they will keep coming back for more!
Budweiser is known to initiate distinct and notable campaigns around football. What can we expect more around this partnership?
Our recent campaign with Budweiser 0.0, our non-alcohol beer, and Sergio Ramos, captain of the Spanish national football team and Real Madrid, received widespread appreciation from fans here for celebrating Ramos' stand-out career as the most capped player ever for Spain and, in turn, inspiring our consumers to step up and taste greatness. The latest 'Be A King' campaign celebrates Ramos' journey to truly becoming one of the footballing greats by using the meaning and symbolism of his tattoos to showcase his achievements. In addition, there will also be ongoing digital extensions available across social platforms, including@ BudFootball to keep fans engaged with the kings of the game both on and off the pitch. We will also offer football fans a taste of the sport with largescale activations and on-ground screenings across key markets. Throughout the season, we will host exclusive fan parks in different cities, taking the match viewing experience up a notch through engaging, interactive activities and contests set in an electric atmosphere. The iconic Premier League trophy will be also showcased here. On our digital platforms and through our partners, we will also curate exclusive content to celebrate the Kings of the game, both on and off the field. We are also giving consumers a chance to win a chance to watch a Premier League game in England when they buy a Budweiser. Through this entire gamut of curated experiences, online and on-ground, our aim is to be an integral part of their football experience and celebrate the spirit of the game together.
Since the popularity of football has been manifolding year-on- year, what future plans does Budweiser have to support and leverage the game?
Through our multi-year partnerships with the FIFA World Cup, Premier League, and La Liga, we will continue to champion immersive experiences around the sport through partnerships, digital content, and innovations.

Factors to Consider When You are Looking For a Personal Injury Lawyer
There is always a chance to get injured in normal daily life. Accidents are unforeseen events, and they can happen anywhere like in the workplace, at home or even when you are with your friends. In our bodies, there are physical injuries that happen, and they are the ones that are called personal injuries. At times personal injuries also include psychological injuries. You can be compensated if get hurt in a car accident or medical health conditions.
If you would like to be compensated, you will have to look for a personal injury lawyer. When you seek legal action on the person who injured you, some monetary compensation might also be involved. To get helped in the legal action, you should pick a personal injury lawyer rather than someone else because it might be costly. There are many personal injury lawyers out there. Picking the best might be challenging. If you follow some tips you will be able to come across the best personal injury lawyers.
One of the factors that you should look first when you are looking for these personal injury lawyers is whether they are qualified. Checking their academic documents will help you verify whether they are trained. Academic certificates and legal documents need to be checked so that they may help you know whether they are legally authorized or trained. Checking their work permits and academic papers will help you not to hire a personal injury lawyer who is unqualified.
When you are hiring these personal injury lawyers, you should check their status because it is an essential factor. The reputation of personal injury lawyers will be known from their popularity or experience. You will even know the status of the personal injury who you are about to hire from other clients who have worked with the lawyer. You friends and family lawyers might know a personal injury lawyer and they might refer you to him. The personal injury lawyer that you need to choose is the one who is experienced. The chances of winning cases are found with those lawyers that are experienced than the ones who are inexperienced.
You should check who they charge their services when you are looking for these personal injury lawyers. Looking at the price factor is important because there are personal injury lawyers who have won few cases and their services are expensive. The likelihoods of them winning a lawsuit are low, and that's why you should not choose them. Those who charge cheap also should not be chosen because most of them are inexperienced. Those lawyers who recently graduated from schools are the ones who are inexperienced. The best personal injury lawyers that you should choose are the ones who have enrolled in law firms. Law firms only have those lawyers who are experienced and genuine.

It's been a fast growing season for the Zac Brown Band's "Homegrown." It now blossoms at the top of Billboard's country airplay rankings after just 11 weeks on the chart.
Luke Bryan's Spring Break … Checkin' Out continues to be country music's No. 1 bestselling album.
The big news, though, is album sales generated around the TV series Nashville.
This week's highest-debuting album is the various artists collection Nashville: On the Record, Volume 2. It bows at No. 3 on Nielsen SoundScan-confirmed sales of 12,647 copies.
The other new albums are the various artists package 2015 Academy of Country Music Awards ZinePak (No. 4), Canaan Smith's eponymous EP (No. 16) and Striking Matches' Nothing but the Silence (No. 25).
Returning to the charts are the various artists' Nashville: On the Record (No. 29) and the soundtracks The Music of Nashville: Season 3: Volume 1 (No. 30) and Nashville: Season 2: Volume 1 (No. 40).
Frankie Ballard's Sunshine & Whiskey re-enters at No. 46.
There are three new songs: RaeLynn's "For a Boy" (No. 58), Aaron Watson's "That Look" (No. 59) and Logan Mize's "Can't Get Away From a Good Time" (No. 60).
Little Big Town's much-steamed-about "Girl Crush" takes a sizable leap from No. 32 to No. 26.
The No. 2 and No. 5 albums, in that order, are Sam Hunt's Montevallo and Jason Aldean's Old Boots, New Dirt.
Rounding out the Top 5 songs are Darius Rucker's "Homegrown Honey", Chris Young's "Lonely Eyes," Hunt's "Take Your Time" and Cole Swindell's "Ain't Worth the Whiskey" (last week's No. 1).
As tours get underway and awards shows crank up again, look for the charts to get a bit livelier. At least one can hope.

But still, taking photos underwater is immensely fun, so expect to see some of them on the blog.

All but one of West Yorkshires attacks on firefighters happened in the Bradford District.
Of the eight firefighter attacks on Bonfire night reviewed, seven occurred in Bradford.
One incident saw the fire crew surrounded by a gang of youths twenty strong. The youths then launched fireworks at the crew.
There were dozens of reports of arson on top of the attacks on emergency services as well as the calls of out of control bonfires.
Extra resources are put in place for the Bonfire period, costing taxpayers nearly thirty-two-thousand which dropped over fifty-thousand from last year.
There was a significant difference in incidents where firefighters were called. 482 in 2018 dropped to 270 in 2019.
Despite nine attacks being investigated the review concluded "This year is considered a success".
They contributed this in part to the collaboration with West Yorkshire Police.

When you don't get a good night's sleep, it can make you feel awful. Though several factors can lead to insomnia, for women, one of the biggest causes is a hormonal imbalance. When you have lack of sleep, it can make you stressed, which in turn affects your hormones even more. If you're experiencing insomnia, checking and addressing any hormone imbalance could be the solution.
Many different hormones trigger insomnia. One is estrogen. When estrogen gets too low, it can disrupt your normal sleep cycle. Low estrogen triggers alertness. You sometimes can't shut off your thoughts enough to relax enough to get some rest. Not only that, but if you're a woman who's in perimenopause or menopause, night sweats or hot flashes may also disrupt your sleep.
Some remedies for low estrogen include hormone replacement therapy and phytoestrogens. Low progesterone can make it difficult to fall asleep. This hormone is responsible for soothing emotions and triggering sleep. When progesterone is low, you may feel heightened emotions when you try to fall asleep.
If your cortisol is too high, you can have difficulty with sleep. Excess cortisol will keep your body, even as it's trying to sleep, in a state of preparedness. This results in you feeling on edge and too alert to sleep. Taking care of the stress in your life is just one way to handle high cortisol levels. To keep this hormone where it should be, lower stress before bed. Try to meditate or relax.
Low cortisol is also known to cause insomnia. You want to keep this hormone in balance. Too much thyroid hormone can affect serotonin levels. Serotonin is essential for sleep. If you have too much thyroid hormone, you may feel wired, like you can't rest. Too little of the thyroid hormones can affect your mood and sleep. Low testosterone and DHEA can contribute to insomnia.
If you are suffering from insomnia and think a hormonal imbalance is the cause, see your doctor right away for testing. Let us know in the Facebook group how you're sleeping. We want to hear from you!

Opus Diabolae
(Unholy Fire Records)
Occult Doom Black / Death Metal from Germany. When a band comes from this land, I am always listening. And although I am more a fan of violent Metal, sometimes if done right, some real Doom Metal is always welcome. I do not expect Doom Metal just to be something played at turtle speed, no. Doom Metal is also related to the feeling of impending darkness falling over… and that is what few bands are able to capture. DOOMENTOR is going the right (or left) path on doing so. Yes, they do have certain CELTIC FROST and SAMAEL auras, but they also do have more traditional Doom as in CANDLEMASS and even TROUBLE with also some Occult Rock influence in there. The vocals are killer! Yes, they do sound like a young Xytraguptor, and they also use clear vocals, but doing so with prudence not to ruin the aura. There is also the use of keyboards, something that I usually try to stay away from, but when done also with good judgment it will add to the sinister aura, And in this case that is happening as one can hear in 'Final Breath'. The sound aura is also quite adept for the band, it sounds clean, yet not too polished, and at times gives me a 90s sound essence. Although the band is not afraid to play with some melody, they always try to make it sound wicked and evil, and using a simple approach they surely create a great output as it can be experienced in the song 'The Seance'. This one is a grower and for sure one of the best released this year. On CD, digipak A5 and vinyl. The hunt for angels is on… www.facebook.com/doomentorcoven, www.unholyfire-records.com

Dr. Michael Fulbright Uses the KoR Whitening Deep Bleaching System to Permanently Remove Dark and Stubborn Tooth Stains With a Treatment That Combines At-Home Custom Whitening Trays and an In-Office Finishing Session
REDONDO BEACH, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 18, 2013) - Dr. Michael Fulbright, a cosmetic and restorative dentist in Los Angeles, says professional teeth whitening treatments at his practice have become more and more common over the years, as people have realized that a whiter appearance to the teeth can have a significant effect on the look of their smiles. However, in some cases, Dr. Fulbright says teeth can be so deeply stained that it takes a special kind of treatment to enhance their appearance. In addition to Zoom!® in-office bleaching and the take-home Day White® system, Fulbright Cosmetic & Reconstructive Dentistry now utilizes the KöR® Whitening Deep Bleaching™ System. Dr. Fulbright says this is a remarkably advanced teeth whitening treatment that can whiten even the deepest, most stubborn tooth stains.
The KöR® Whitening Deep Bleaching™ System was developed by Dr. Rod Kurthy, an internationally known dentist and bleaching expert. Dr. Fulbright says the procedure is designed for a patient who has stains on their teeth that are so severe they may not respond as well to other teeth whitening treatments. In addition, the Los Angeles cosmetic dentist notes that The KöR® Whitening Deep Bleaching™ System can help patients attain longer-lasting (in some cases permanent) results.
The process begins with Dr. Fulbright making a mold of the patient's teeth to create customized whitening trays that fit as precisely and comfortably as possible. The patient then uses the trays, in conjunction with a whitening gel, in their home for two weeks. The trays are worn overnight while the patient sleeps. After the two-week in-home treatment, the patient returns to Dr. Fulbright's office for one final whitening session performed by an experienced member of the practice's dental team.
Dr. Fulbright says the KöR® Whitening Deep Bleaching™ System offers a number of benefits for many patients, including:
Dr. Fulbright says the KöR® Whitening Deep Bleaching™ System is one of the most effective and reliable methods of permanent tooth whitening available. In fact, the system has been named a "Best Product" by Dental Product Shopper, a major dental industry publication that prints reviews of products used in dental practices.
According to Dr. Fulbright, one of the simplest, fastest ways to make a dramatic improvement in the appearance of a smile is professional teeth whitening. He says, while many of his patients visit Fulbright Cosmetic & Reconstructive Dentistry exclusively for teeth whitening, some patients opt for whitening treatments to further enhance the cosmetic results of another procedure such as Invisalign® or porcelain veneers. Dr. Fulbright says a "smile makeover" such as this can not only enhance a patient's appearance, but it can also help them feel more confident in how they look.

And it has begun. UCOM (United Colours of Mas) is the first band to launch for Notting Hill Carnival Season 2019. From my conversation with Paul O'Donoghue (Head Designer and Band Manager) during the previous week I knew what he had planned for this season. It was going to be all about colour. The costumes would be very similar in design but would be different colours with the exception of 'Spectrum' costume which would have a myriad of coloured feathers. In our conversation, he also explained why he launches so early. Not only was it to give his team time to produce the costumes but also time for his masqueraders to be able to budget to pay off the costumes. As he said, 'My costumes aren't cheap' so they are at least six months or so for them to pay the costumes off.
There was a real nice atmosphere backstage, in the hours running up to the presentation of costumes. The last finishing touches of make-up were being put on, models were milling around, laughing joking, and getting ready. The UCOM staff were very helpful, friendly, accommodating and jovial. One or two had me laughing hard. We got a chance to do some close-ups so you could see the stones and details of the costumes.
The launch took place at the Scala at King's Cross, London,UK. The stage was set up and it was a good space. The crowd came to see the first costumes of the season. There were quite a few people of the various bands of London also in attendance. The Release D Riddim team as well as others were in attendance warming up the crowd.
Under the overarching theme of Kaleidoscope, UCOM as well as Amorous London, Hype Mas and Socaholic ( who will be on the road with UCOM) presented their costumes for 2019.
Fun mas was presented first which was more than just a t-shirt but a costume with colour. I quite liked the colourful body wear.
Amorous Mas produced the 'Monochrome'. Grey rarely looks this good.
Hype Mas presented 'Pink Passion'. The colour popped on the catwalk.
Up next was 'Exotic Purple' by UCOM/ Lee brought her sparkle to the catwalk as well as the male model.
Then 'Feeling Blue' by UCOM. My favourite colour is blue so I would always like this section.
'Green Peace' was up next by UCOM.
Socaholic presented 'Hello Yellow'. This yellow popped on stage and Hollie as per usual killed it. The big hair and smile? Couldn't go wrong in selling this costume!
'Orange Bliss' was presented by UCOM. Delphie did her thing in selling the costume. The other models also worked the catwalk!
'Red or Dead' was up next by UCOM. Ok this section I liked as well. There were a bit more feathers. I liked the frontline's backpack. Rhona, Dujonna and the male model were perfect in showcasing the costumes to full advantage.
Of course the show stoppers were the 'Spectrum' costumes modelled by Kenny and Rianna. These were the most expensive and all about colour, with all the colours of the other sections incorporated into the feathers of the costumes. Rianna and Kenny seriously worked those costumes, showing them to full effect. I liked these costumes. A lot.
So when Paul described to me that all the costumes would be very similar, I was expecting regimental army clone business where all the costumes were carbon copies of each other with no deviations. But although all the costumes had the same basic premise, there were differences in cuts, styles to accommodate all body shapes and sizes; bikinis, halter bikini tops, wire bras, monokini, bikini bottoms with tassels. So although, it might be one colour, you can make it your own with choice of style. And they may have seemed to be simple. However the execution of the designs was of a very high detailed standard. I have to say there were really good models at this launch. They did not come to play. The ones I am more familiar with; Rianna, Holly, Lee, Dujonna, Delphie, Kenny and Gem worked the catwalk! And the others who I am not so familiar with also sparkled. There was some new models who made me think 'Aight Paul, nice nice!'
It can be said Paul O'Donoghue took a risk with this collection; the same costume but all different colours. I'm not sure if he would consider this season his best work. However, it remains to a high standard and all the colours will have impact on the road! And of course, there was 'Spectrum' which I really really liked.
Overall, I think the launch was a success. I think Paul achieved what he wanted to and the crowd seemed receptive. There were discussions regarding the colours. I overheard a few discussing the £999.00 and possibly paying an amount every month. On a side note, can I just say that UCOM male models were all kindsa hot? Abs and chocolate all over the place.

We've now been in our apartment for nearly two weeks and it's starting to feel a little bit more like home. We've got a huge sofa, which is ridiculously big but so comfy, a bed, oven, fridge, washing machine… and that's about it. I continue to live out of a suitcase despite being in the country for nearly 2 months.
This is because my husband has still not been paid, and unfortunately the money we brought with us and our wedding gift money has ran out. We are totally deflated and upset as this is not how our new life was suppose to start. We both gave up great jobs to be here and feel a bit let down by it all. No one seems to have an answer or a definitive date as to when he'll get paid. Having said that, this isn't the first bump in the road we have run in to and most certainly won't be the last. Credit card it is!
Now I have an oven I can finally get back to eating better and more healthy. The temptation to order any food you can think of, delivered directly to your door, however is most definitely there! I'm getting used to the craziness that is the supermarket and the horror that is the price of everything. Unlike UK supermarkets which have an order, supermarkets here don't. Tortilla wraps are in about 3 places, bread is somewhere else and the ice cream is next to the chicken. Then comes the spice aisle. All I needed was simple table salt. Living in the melting pot that is the UAE brings with it flavours from across the world, and means there are hundreds of flavours, condiments and spices to choose from. I found the salt and had to choose from 16 different kinds! I'll tackle the spices next time.
This week has been tough. I found out the job I applied for in the fantastic hospital close by has already gone, and I'm back to square one with the job hunt. I'm feeling extra pressure now especially with our financial situation. But a glimmer of hope came through on email yesterday and I have been invited to meet with a team for a potential opening in early 2019. I feel much better that someone has taken the time to read my CV and contact me. I guess I need to buy a professional outfit to wear… pass me the credit card!
The Hunt for Holly continues…

Telfar Clemens might not be the only fashion designer at this year's Berlin Biennale – Hood by Air and Susan Cianciolo are also showing – but he's certainly the most present. No less than 20 Telfars have taken up residence in the Akademie der Künst until September: the fiberglass, industrial mannequins in a range of sizes all eerily share the same visage as their creator, thanks to a 3-D print by the artist Frank Benson and an enthusiastic manufacturer in Düsseldorf, Penther Formes. And they're hardly alone: photos of Clemens's family plaster the surrounding walls, too, their faces digitally manipulated to bear even more of a resemblance to the designer, which was "kind of trippy," he admitted.
"It's a really unique experience, to say the least, standing there and interacting with them," Clemens said. Being at the center of things, though, is something the Liberian-born, Queens-based designer has grown used to over the last 10 years – which is as long as he's run his namesake label, Telfar. That decade is represented across the mannequins in 13 different "Telfar staples," mostly reinterpretations of basics like the t-shirt, which mark the brand's first foray into creating stores that can live in galleries, museums, and even universities.
That's the aim, anyway, of Babak Radboy, the creative director of both Telfar and the Berlin Biennale. He's responsible for putting Clemens even more in the spotlight of his brand since joining it in 2014. "When I met Telfar, he was actually showing in galleries and selling entire collections as a single work of art. I remember going to one of his shows and really like feeling like, 'Okay, there's not one press person here, there's not one buyer here, there's no articles about this – and it's the most amazing show in fashion,'" Radboy recalled. "I really wanted to take that from the gallery to the runway and make sure there was proper press and marketing behind it."
He started with giving the brand a logo, plus a QVC-like promotional video rendered in 3D with the help of trippy artist partners-in-crime Ryan Trecartin and Lizzie Fitch. This spring's campaign video featured 45 Telfars, a precursor of sorts to the real-life Berlin installation. So while Telfar's definitely going commercial, it just takes one look at the bizarre mannequins to see that the brand is doing so on its own terms.
Besides, the label has always been about the mainstream, just in its own way: Clemens's references include everything from Martha Stewart paint samples to stacks of early-2000s Talbots catalogs, and the last few years have even seen him partner with corporations like White Castle and Kmart. Designing based on whatever he'd like to wear himself, his approach is decidedly non-luxury – and one that's landed him a much better reception in the art world than fashion.
"My medium as an artist is directly related to clothing, and that is what I would call my art," he said. "It's a lot to do with reshaping clothes and the person wearing them at the time, how people feel like their community represents them. The art world seems to understand that a lot more."
Those at the Berlin Biennale definitely do, anyway: Clemens has run in the same circles as the DIS collective, who curated this year's fair, and New York artists like Trecartin, since before he even started designing. Not far from his "store," Telfar's designs show up again in Josh Kline's video in the basement at the KW Institute, as well as Trecartin's playing upstairs. "His are probably the de facto designs for artists making videos," Radboy said.
That's hardly the end of Telfar's takeover: Clemens designed the biennial's official uniform, so all the staff and curators are outfitted in Telfar mock polos, made out of t-shirts. Visitors are even joining the flock, too, with the fair's Telfar-designed tote bag. And soon, his pervasiveness will be spreading across borders: more Telfars are supposedly making their way to the windows of the Bowery for an installation at New Inc, the New Museum incubator, as well as Dover Street Market and Berlin's Soho House.
For now, though, they're quite at home at the Biennale's Akademie der Künst, where the main theme is the "post-contemporary," or as Radboy explained, the idea that the present is weirder than our predictions for the future. It's a concept that, after a decade of being trend-averse, Clemens is quite familiar with, though he's much more reluctant to define it.
"Everything feels like it's definitely new, you know?" he said. "But at the same time I pretty much feel like everyone thinks like this now. It's almost like, 'Oh yeah, duh.'"

text: We were able to get away for a few days up to Lake Erie and we stayed in Geneva-on-the-Lake. We spent some time hiking in Geneva State Park and played a bit on the beach. We also headed into Ashtabula to see the bridge go up and then onto Conneaut to visit their Train Museum, which our little trainiac loved! We ate at Eddy's Grill, which is cash only, and the food was very good. We cooked in quite a bit but did have supper one evening at GOTL Brewing Co. They had lots of good guest taps and the walleye sandwich was very good. Here are a few of my favorite snaps from our trip.

David Williams said, "Labour is acting to help homeowners through the global economic downturn, when the Tories would do nothing."
A mortgage rescue scheme to help vulnerable families at risk of repossession to stay in their homes is being rolled out today.
The £200 million scheme is one of a range of measures the Government is putting in place to help ensure repossession is always a last resort.
The scheme is targeted at the most vulnerable households who would be eligible for homelessness assistance if their home was repossessed, such as the elderly, disabled or those with children, with a household income under £60,000 a year.
Households will be able to apply for this support from their local authority, and will be offered two options to help them remain in their homes, depending on their circumstances.
They will either be able to sell a share of the equity in their home to a housing association, enabling their monthly mortgage payments to be significantly reduced, or they can sell the entire home to a housing association and remain in the property as tenants paying a subsidised rent.
In addition to mortgage rescue, the Government has taken a number of measures to support households at risk of repossession. Last week, changes came into effect on Support for Mortgage Interest (SMI), cutting by two thirds – from 39 to 13 weeks - the time before homeowners who lose their jobs receive financial help with the interest payments on their mortgage. The Homeowner Mortgage Support Scheme, which will allow households who suffer an income shock to defer part of their payments for up to two years, is being urgently developed with lenders.
David Williams, Labour's Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Crewe and Nantwich, said:
"I know that some families are worried about their mortgage payments right now and the Government is determined to do everything possible to ensure repossession is always a last resort. For the most vulnerable households, the mortgage rescue scheme will be available across England to help ensure they can remain in their homes.
"This is part of a range of measures the Government is putting in place to help households at risk of repossession in the current climate. As well as expanding free debt and legal advice, Labour has increased the support available for people who lose their jobs, and are introducing the option for homeowners to defer part of the loan to give them the time they need to get back on their feet.
"Whatever the situation, the clear message for households struggling with their payments is to speak to their lender as soon as possible."
