Today marks the first anniversary since Coventry dramatically won the race to be the UK City of Culture in 2021.
The 'big year' might still be a little way off but it won't be long until Coventry steps into the shoes of Hull to enjoy its year in the cultural spotlight.
In some ways the build-up is more important, as it's during the run-up that all the essential groundwork takes place to help ensure the year proper truly puts Coventry on the national cultural map.
Work in preparing Coventry for 2021 is already well under way.
Cllr George Duggins, the Leader of Coventry City Council, welcomed news of a multi-million pound government grant at the end of October, which he said would kickstart projects that will transform the city for 2021 and beyond.
The Budget announcement of £8.5 million to boost Coventry's arts and culture scene was universally hailed as good news for the city.
It will see significant improvements to some of the city's major venues and production facilities.
It included financial support for the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry Cathedral, St Mary's Guildhall, Drapers' Hall and the Herbert Art Gallery.
Crucially it will also attract further funding as the countdown to 2021 continues.
A week prior to that announcement, there was news of a £5m Arts Council grant to boost City of Culture plans.
But even those millions are small beer to the kind of money that will come in to the city over the next three years.
Coventry is tipped to benefit from a windfall in excess of a billion pounds after winning the City of Culture bid.
That is the figure Coventry City of Culture Trust chairman David Burbidge estimates will be the economic uplift to the city.
To mark the first year since the historic announcement in Hull, the Coventry City of Culture Trust held a celebratory lunch at FarGo Village.
The lunch event, hosted by award-winning singer and songwriter Sandra Godley, was a nod to the day the city welcomed the UK City of Culture judging panel in 2018 when civic, community, cultural and commercial leaders came together to represent Coventry.
Watch below the reaction from culture leaders to the appointment of Chenine Bhathena as creative director of the Coventry City of Culture Trust
Around 150 guests – many of whom were present 12 months ago – were entertained by a range of artists from within the city.
They also heard from Coventry City of Culture Trust's chairman David Burbidge, creative director Chenine Bhathena and chief executive Martin Sutherland and the steps the city is already taking towards this momentous event.
Mr Sutherland thanked the city for its support and said it was a chance to reflect but also look forward.
He said: "This is a key moment for Coventry and the City of Culture Trust – an opportunity to reflect on what was achieved 12 months ago, to thank those who had the vision and expertise to imagine and deliver a successful bid, to reflect on what has been achieved since but also to look ahead, together.
"I'm approaching my first 100 days in post and I feel very privileged to have been invited to join the team charged with delivering an inclusive, youthful, truly memorable City of Culture and to plan the legacy from 2021.
"I'd like to take this opportunity to thank those who have made me so welcome to the city, and to those partners who continue to pledge their strategic, financial, and artistic contributions."
The foundations are in place
Mr Sutherland said that while ideas for the artistic programme for 2021 were still being worked up, the team had put key foundations in place in 2018.
"We're in such a good place already," he said.
"There is no blueprint for delivering a City of Culture, no set schedule for planning or preparing, so I'm grateful for all the work that has been done so far.
"Our government partners reassure me that we're ahead of where Hull was 12 months on, but we're not complacent.
"So far this year we've recruited the leadership team and have made excellent progress in unlocking the funds needed to deliver the vision.
"In addition to the support previously pledged, during the last few months we've been able to confirm support from Arts Council England, the Heritage Lottery Fund, West Midlands Combined Authority, DCMS, the British Council, and the BBC and we're continuing to attract new support from businesses in the city and region every week."
Looking forward to what 2019 might hold, Mr Sutherland added: "We're all looking forward to the spectacular Sunrise event at the cathedral for New Year's Eve and to revealing details of our first campaign next week.
"In early 2019 we'll undertake a next wave of recruitment, with our producing teams being assembled.
"We have achieved so much but there is much more to do and the ongoing support is much valued and much needed."

Create a car budgetFor every first time car buyer in South Africa, the very first thing you need to do is have a budget. Creating your own budget will identify how much money you have left to spend each month and which vehicle you're able to afford. For many South African owning a vehicle is only possible through having a car loan. It's always important to know your affordability before going to a lender or car dealership. Your affordability will determine how much you can spend on a vehicle. There is however a lot that you need to consider when looking at your affordability. You need to think about the cost of owning a vehicle, such as the maintenance plan, car insurance and your monthly repayments. In order for you to determine your affordability, calculate how much you have after deductions. Then calculate how much you will be able to have for your vehicle, this will then determine the price range of the vehicle you can afford.
Car insurance is a must-haveHaving insurance isn't only for those who are reckless on the roads. In fact, everyone with a vehicle should have insurance. There are many important benefits which come with having insurance and why it is a must-have. Being insured gives you piece of mind when you're on and off the road. There are so many things which could happen to your vehicle on any given day. Your vehicle could be involved in a car accident whether you were driving or parked. A car could come out of now where and collide with your vehicle or your vehicle could get stolen or involved in a fire, this is why it's important to be prepared. With the money you're paying towards your car payments, it would be wise for you to have insurance as well. Many lenders require you to have insurance if you're interested in financing your vehicle.
Shop aroundAs a first time buyer, it's important that you shop around before choosing the vehicle you wish to purchase. This is to ensure that you get a great deal which is worth your while. When you're looking for a vehicle to purchase there will be plenty that you see on a day to day basis, some might even seem too good to be true. Usually, those that seem too good to be true are. However, you will come across a couple of good deals but it's also important to look around and be certain when purchasing a vehicle. Go to different car dealerships and look at car sites online and see what the purchase price for your specific vehicle is. Once you know how much the vehicle is going for you can then contact the seller.
Find the best deal for yourselfEven when choosing your dream car it is important to find the right car for yourself. You should always check whether the vehicle of your choose checks all the right boxes. These boxes can include:
- Is this car fuel efficient?
- Should I purchase a second hand or a brand new vehicle?
- Does this vehicle have enough space to accommodate my loved ones?
- What safety features does this vehicle have and are they what I need?
- Is this vehicle for travelling to work or long distances?

"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." Ecclesiastes 10:2
I had a comment the other day, from a well-meaning Poster. It's not a particularly unusual statement, but something I decided to expanded upon.
These types of comments come from the devoted but ill-informed and uninformed Democrat voter. Not to overly criticism these people, but in all honesty — we are all responsible for our actions, our education and ourselves. Way too many people now seem to believe that it's our Government's job to 'give us this' and 'give us that'. These are the people who keep voting for Socialist Democrats and their radical, failed agenda. The "Gimme Class of Americans".
This gentleman's comments revolved around his desire for Republicans and Democrats being "bipartisan" and working together to provide and do, for Americans. Sounds admiral, I agree. But it's no longer something grounded in reality.
Barack Hussein Obama and his cohorts-in-criminal- activity in Congress, the Democrats, have no interest in bipartisanship or working Republican. That is the 'reality'. It's also factual that Conservatives were aware of what would transpire, long before our partisan Barack took office. Sadly we're weren't disappointed. Obama and the Democrats had one goal in 2008: Do whatever they wanted and extinguish all competition and dissenting voices — the Republicans.
So, how do you work with someone who agrees with nothing you do, say or want for America? How do you work with a person or group who has no regard for the Constitutions or Law? How do you have bipartisanship with those who are determined not to? If you believe American law should be enforced and upheld, how do you work with those who do not? If you believe a baby is a viable, sustainable life after 14 weeks and to abort it would be wrong, how do you work with those who believe in abortion up to the hour of birth?
How do you work with a President who infers that you're a racist because of your political Party association? How do you work with Democrats who call your racist, for the same reason or that you're "white"? How do you pass bills when the Democrat controlled Senate refuses to introduce your bills to the floor for discussion or vote?
How do you work with a Congress on "obamacare" when the Democrats refuse to allow you to add or introduce a anything of your concerns for debate? How do you do that, when you and your Party are completely shut off?
And yet, all we hear from Barack Hussein Obama and the corrupt Democrats is what "obstructionist" the Republicans are. How they won't add to the conversation or "work in" Obama. Lies, lies and more lies — against those who falsely claim, are not "working with" Obama.
I don't believe it isn't the duty of political Parties to work together. . . not when one Party refused to do with ethically. But foremost, our Representatives are to represent the people who sent them to office. When a politician says he does can not support "socialized medicine"(which is more Socialism), as the highly disliked "obamacare", then he should not.
So, where those Democrats that were willing to work in a "bipartisan" fashion, with the Republicans to come up with a bill they might be able to endorse? They didn't exist. Obama and the radial Democrat's agenda was to push through another socialists burdensome, controlling mandate on America. They were successful.
And so, there can be no "bipartisanship" in Congress or with the man referred to as President, who's only desire is to push is radical, socialist agenda on many in the unsuspecting, uninformed public. The "low information voter" who believe those 'pretty little lies' when they hear it.
Here are the Government's bipartisan concerns in this gentleman's comments:
1. Help people with "health care"
2. Help people with "jobs"
3. Help people with "education"
4. Help "the sick"
5. Help "the poor"
6. Help "the children"
7. Help people not to "suffer"
Breathtaking. About all I could take time for was to educate him on one fact. Government is NOT responsible for any of those "helps" he wanted. Nor should it be if you want to be free.
As a free human being, living in the "land of the free", we can and should do all of those things ourselves. What do people thing freedom is for? Being paid to go on vacation? To never struggle and work to achieve on their own merits?
We the people have the obligation to educate ourselves. If a school is lousy, find the way to educate yourself with the simple basics, like speaking correct English grammar, learning basic math, reading and understanding the Constitution — all of which will take you a long way.
If a person is burdened with feeding the poor, the sick, the elderly and the children — DONATE your money or your time to a private organization which exists for those purposes! It is NOT up to Government to do those things. When government gets involved, those things grow worse, which has been proved. The Democrats began a "war on poverty" in the '60's. It's still going on and we as a country have more "poor" today, than ever before. Liberal policies create impoverishment.
As for our current 'government controlled' Public schools, they don't teach — they propagandize. Too many teaches "liberal ideology", "social justice" and other mandate garbage and create the illiterate, uninformed and stupid. Not requiring respect, not punishing, not spanking means spoiled brats bringing weapons to school because no one at home, or school much less church, taught them to respect others.
Government isn't gong to stop "suffering". Government intrusion causes more suffering. There is little worse than government having laws, regulation, mandates and taxes in and on everything and everyone. Government doesn't fix problems — Government creates problems. But the ignorant and ill-informed among us look to the Democrat-driven-agenda of "government knows best". They want Government to give, give and give, which means taking, taking and taking . . . for other citizens. Providing what some are not willing to work for themselves. There is no "fee Obama phone" or free "obamacare" — someone is paying, paying and paying for what others will not.
We're no longer the pioneer stock which fought tooth and nail, everyday, as they crossed the open land called America. OK, that's not me either! But I know how to take care of myself, my family, our personal needs, read, study and . . . and think. It's our responsibility to do these things for ourselves.
When we allow or vote for Government to step into our daily lives in such an intrusive manner, we're no longer a free people. We're serfs, prisoners and slaves on the Government Plantation. And that Plantation doesn't give a flip about what we want. Big Government is in the business of controlling, or eliminating, the masses who stand in its way. Strong central government looks to eliminate its competition and silence its adversaries. Look at history for those facts. Look at our current Federal government, spying on Americans, spying on reporters, controlling the news media. Then look into the agenda of radical Leftist in Government . . . these are the same people.
The comments from a Blogger: (name redact to protect the guilty – and not to embarrass)
"why such a problem with bipartisanship? I mean isn't that the what our country was built on? Bipartisan agreement is probably the only way the people can truly say there is a victory for any political party. bipartisanship is both parties coming together; therefore, the Republican Party should be as willing as to respect and cooperate with the Democratic Party. Though you may be right, it is the DUTY of BOTH the democrats and republicans to do right for the people, which involves putting aside differences and points of view regardless of how "important" they may be to better the people that they serve. So yes the people vote for what and who they want but the representatives elected need to do and fight for what the people need, and that goes for ALL the people. If they need health care help them, jobs, help them, education HELP THEM, do what is necessary for all the people rich or poor, black or white, gay or straight. Help the sick people, help the poor people, help the children! Regardless of beliefs or background or political party. Why should we said around and suffer while those SQUABBLING REPTILES WE CALL LEADERS point fingers at each other like children, so the DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS need to get it together FAST because we are standing still and will soon be on the verge of going backwards"
I LOVED this post! You are sooooo spot on Punditry. What some folks tend to want is the best of both worlds. 'I want you to help people with XYZ problems and concerns…..BUT, I want to be free and not be either held accountable OR told what to do in any fashion.' Well, you must not be living on the same continent as I for what you ask is not of it folks!! But, is it really the fault of these Dems with high-hopes of saving the world or is it the long-standing way the government has entitled America?? Hmmmm. Most definitely both in my estimation. I have ZERO problem with helping out citizens who have 'paid their time' working hard but have fallen sick or some other unfortunate issue. I do, however, take great issue with the ones who refuse to work and simply use the system…a system of which has entitled them. What a vicious cycle. Sigh.
I am going to copy and paste this, giving your blog all the credit of course. Good Stuff!
Thank you so very much! On occasion, a Poster will get me fired up… LOL (and once again, WP put your comment in Spam so that was the delay)
Your comment appears to run the same line as the Post I added this morning. People who 'don't get it', want freedom of America by access to Other Peoples Money, via big Government Socialism. You're right on point.
Here it is! I added pics, hope you don't mind! http://lorrab.wordpress.com/2014/11/06/the-gimme-class-of-american-are-you-part-of-the-problem/

Studdard takes oath, Jan. 14 first court date
Wearing the robe his father wore as a Cumberland Presbyterian minister, Joe Studdard was sworn in Wednesday as one of three new Chancery Court judges in the 14th District.
Studdard, a Columbus attorney before winning the seat vacated by the retirement of Judge Jim Davidson, thanked a group of about two dozen friends and supporters who attended the Clay County ceremony, which came after he'd taken the oath in Lowndes County as well.
His post covers parts of Clay and Lowndes counties.
His first actual court day is Jan. 14 in Lowndes County, although he and the two other new judges in the district — Paula Drungole-Ellis and Rodney Faver — have been meeting with each other and chancery court clerks in the district, which also covers Noxubee, Oktibbeha, Chickasaw and Webster counties.
Although the judges are elected to particular posts, they hear cases in all six counties.
Studdard's long-time legal assistant, Cindy Strickland, will serve as his court administrator.
"We're looking forward to getting started," Studdard said after taking the oath from Clay County Chancery Clerk Amy Berry. "We've been trying to get dockets settled, I'm trying to close out my law practice, we're going over dockets, discussing some new ideas. We're lucky to be coming in with six veteran chancery clerks who an offer advice and insight."

Antioch sends Barnabas and Saul as foreign missionaries. They evangelize in Cyprus and in Antioch in Pisidia. They decide to evangelize Gentiles instead of Jews.
VERSE 1. Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
prophets and teachers. The Holy Spirit gives special gifts to some individuals so they can serve the community of Christian believers. We explore those ministry gifts in our series called Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
VERSE 2. As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them."
fasted. We explore the spiritual aspect of fasting in our series called Fasting.
the work to which I have called them. To what has God already called you? Would you be open to him calling you to something new in the future?
VERSE 3. Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
VERSE 4. So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
VERSE 5. When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God's word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their attendant.
John. That is, John Mark. In our day, we call him the apostle Mark.
VERSE 6. When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar Jesus,
VERSE 7. who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
VERSE 8. But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
VERSE 9. But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,
VERSE 10. and said, "You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
VERSE 11. Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!" Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
VERSE 12. Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
VERSE 13. Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
John. That is, John Mark. In our day, we call him the apostle Mark.
VERSE 14. But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down.
VERSE 15. After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, "Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak."
VERSE 16. Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.
VERSE 17. The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.
VERSE 18. For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
VERSE 19. When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years.
VERSE 20. After these things, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
VERSE 21. Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
VERSE 22. When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'
VERSE 23. From this man's offspring, God has brought salvation† to Israel according to his promise,
VERSE 24. before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.
VERSE 25. As John was fulfilling his course, he said, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'
VERSE 26. Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.
VERSE 27. For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn't know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
VERSE 28. Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
VERSE 29. When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.
VERSE 30. But God raised him from the dead,
VERSE 31. and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
VERSE 32. We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
VERSE 33. that God has fulfilled this to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son. Today I have become your father.'
VERSE 34. "Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: 'I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.'
VERSE 35. Therefore he says also in another psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'
VERSE 36. For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.
VERSE 37. But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
VERSE 38. Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins,
through this man. That is, through the Lord Jesus Christ.
remission of sins. To sin is to violate God's will for us. It harms our relationship with God. We all have missed the mark and sinned. Here are the verses we've found »
VERSE 39. and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
everyone who believes. Eternal salvation is not limited to a select group of people. Rather, it is available to anyone.
is justified. When we have faith in Jesus Christ, we are justified.
Romans 5:1. Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
VERSE 40. Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:
VERSE 41. 'Behold, you scoffers, and wonder, and perish; for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.' "
VERSE 42. So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
Gentiles begged … preached to them. Gentiles are begging that Paul and Barnabas preach Jesus Christ to them.
VERSE 43. Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
VERSE 44. The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
VERSE 45. But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
VERSE 46. Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, "It was necessary that God's word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
we turn to the Gentiles. This marks a great turning point. Now Paul and Barnabas would mainly target Gentiles instead of Jews.
VERSE 47. For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, 'I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.' "
VERSE 48. As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed.
VERSE 49. The Lord's word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
word was spread. This is the natural outcome of growing in our Christian faith. We get rooted in Jesus and the Scriptures, and then we become "carriers." People catch the "contagion" of the faith from us.
VERSE 50. But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
VERSE 51. But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
VERSE 52. The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
This verse is fantastic! Would you consider memorizing it? More great verses to memorize from the Acts of the Apostles and from the entire Bible.
filled with joy … the Holy Spirit. May this be said of us as well!

2017 has truly been a year of innovation. Let's take a look at some the year's greatest inventions.
No year has really brought us into the future as 2017. Everything we imagined the future would look like, we have now. Except the flying cars of course. Hurry up science, we need them asap!
Apple iPhone X

Lithuanian attractions
Nida – UNESCO World Heritage Site
The small town of Nida sits at the southern Lithuanian end of a remarkable geological formation known as the Curonian Spit.
The spit starts at the sea gate of Klaipeda and runs for a 100 km south into the Russian region of Kaliningrad. Nida is about 50 km south of Klaipeda and is on the border with Kaliningrad (Russia). The Curonian Spit, (also called Neringa) has been named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site of outstanding natural beauty and is a Lithuanian National Park. Neringa is forested with linden, elm, birch and pine and is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including wild boar, deer and fox.
The Curonian Spit is also a quiet and popular nesting place and an important bird migration route. At Lybio Ragas, just south of Juodkrante, you can see whooper swans, cormorants, white-tailed eagles, red-throated divers, sheldrakes, and herons. Moving on there is a large two-hectare colony of grey herons and cormorants nesting side by side.
The Nagliai nature reserve is known for the "Dead Dunes". The entire length of the dunes is made up of ravines of the most intricate patterns blown by the wind. The dunes and sand hills are covered by grassy flora. Between 1675 and 1854 the sand blown by the westerly winds buried four villages in the area of Nagliai. The Dead Dunes are closely protected and visitors have to keep to the designated paths.
Neringa offers a peaceful, soul-cleansing alternative to the rush and bustle of normal life and is worth visiting at any time of year. The Curonian lagoon, which runs on the eastern side of the spit, freezes over in winter and is an extraordinary site to behold.

Expect more operations targeting lottery scammers - cops
Western Bureau:
With western Jamaica the epicentre of scamming activity and St James, in particular, the hot spot, Assistant Commissioner of Police Winchroy Budhoo, the man in charge of the Area One police, is once again warning those involved to desist or face the long arm of the law.
Budhoo issued the warning during a press briefing at the end of a two-day operation on Wednesday afternoon targeting those involved in the lottery scam and the guns-for-drugs trade.
Among the 19 persons held during the operations were seven individuals wanted for extradition to the United States for roles played in the infamously lucrative lottery scam. An eighth was added to the list yesterday.
"These operations will have a significant impact in the west, primarily Westmoreland and St James, but what I want the people of Area One to know is that we will not sit idly by and allow criminals to take over the place," Budhoo said.
"So operations like this will continue, and those who believe that they can go ahead and continue in their way of life by killing people, shooting people and being involved in the guns-for-drugs trade, know that we are coming for you and we are going to get you."

The 74m Lürssen superyacht is the largest vessel to have ever visited Brisbane
The Lürssen-built MY Aurora arrived in Brisbane, Australia, last month after a 12,000 nautical mile voyage and is currently undergoing minor works at Riverate Marina & Shipyard, as well as engine checks, refuelling and provisioning. At 74m (243ft), it is the largest yacht to have ever visited the city.
"Welcoming Aurora to the city reach of the Brisbane River is an historic event," says Rivergate general manager, Andrew Cannon. "Aurora is one of many international superyachts forecast to head to our shores in the next few years, taking advantage of all our region has to offer and generating revenue at many levels in the marine and tourism industries."
Aurora is expected to spend the next few months cruising Australian waters. In Australia, the superyacht industry is estimated to support around 14,500 full-time jobs worth A$1.2bn in wages and salaries, and contributes $190m per annum via foreign tourist/guest and crew expenditure to the Australian economy.
Owned by Russian billionaire Andrey Molchanov, the $US120m yacht was launched in 2017 and took 18 three years to build. It has a beam of 13m and fuel capacity of 240,000 litres, giving it a range of 6,500 nautical miles, making Aurora the largest volume superyacht in her class.
The global superyacht fleet numbers around 5,000 (vessels above 30m) according to Superyacht Intelligence, and Aurora is part of the increasing trend for ever-bigger superyachts on order.
Aurora's voyage to Australia began in Barcelona in mid-October, headed to Albania via the Suez Canal to Sri Lanka where it refuelled, then skirting Indonesia, around the top of the Gulf of Carpentaria and along the Queensland coastline. "Asia, the South Pacific and Australia hold a definite allure for international superyacht owners," says Aurora's captain, Stephen Bay. "Australia is a long way from Europe and the US, but guests are looking for alternatives to the Med and Caribbean."

Despite the pain Dylan's caused her, Lexi is once again drawn to the blue-eyed-boy-next-door. Will Lexi choose the man who seems perfect but hides a dark side or the boy who smashed her heart into pieces so many years ago?
Warning: This book ends in a cliffhanger. This is book one of a trilogy. Release dates will be held close together.
I can't say I enjoyed this book much, but I admit it's one unique story that deals with abuse and violence. When I read its synopsis, my expectations were a bit different. I thought the book was a typical NA that I usually encounter, but I was mislead because when I read the first few chapters, everything felt extreme and strange.
Alexis White is a product of childhood abuse. Her mother used to beat her while she protected her sister Ashley. She grew up with a trauma that I myself couldn't even imagine. Growing up, she had Dylan with her as her best frined and a person who comforted her. Their friendship turned to romance, which, in the end, made her heart broken. When she went to college, she pursued law and took care of her sister. However, she still wasn't able to move on from her traumatic past. To be able to forget her heartache and her family issues, she involved herself with casual sex with random guys she met in parties together with her bestfriend Anna. Then everything changed when she met the beguiling and mysterious French man named Luc who made her mind confused whether she likes him or whether she's still in love with her childhood love, Dylan.
The writing style of the author was good, but as I've read the book, I thought there was something that's missing to make me completely fall into it. The dialogues seem off. And my biggest problem with this book? The main character. I don't think I like the heroine– Alexis. She is supposed to become a strong character after everything she's been through, but what did I get? I couldn't remember a single moment where I didn't get frustrated with her. She always makes bad and even worst decisions that led her to trouble. Yes, I understand she came from a very abusive mother, but her way of 'moving on' was so WRONG. More so, her character didn't even improve until the very end of the book.
The plot, on the other hand, was messed up, but I admire how the author gave effort to make the reader want to continue reading the story and not DNF it. Throughout the book, I found myself wanting to know how it ends and what will become of Alexis, Luc, and Dylan. I also found myself dumbstruck because everything was full of WTF moments. As for its ending, well.. it was a big CLIFFHANGER and it left me with questions that only the next book can respond.
As a whole, it was a good and decent book. It didn't really stand out from other romance books that tackle violence and abuse, but it's still worth the read– despite the imperfections.
(I received a free copy of this book from the author R.C. Stephens in exchange for an honest review.)

Jo Melvin, Director of The Estate of Barry Flanagan, discusses Flanagan's large bronze sculpture Monument (1966).
Barry Flanagan
18 September — 24 November 2019
This is a major survey of work by Barry Flanagan, one of Britain's most inventive sculptors, filling Ikon's two floors of gallery space entirely. Curated by Jo Melvin, it brings together a selection of Flanagan's iconic bronze sculptures (1980s–90s) alongside earlier works, offering new insights into the interconnectedness of seemingly distinct aspects of his practice.
The exhibition is supported by Brindleyplace, The Estate of Barry Flanagan and Waddington Custot. Key loans have been made possible through The Ferryman Project: Sharing Works of Art which is supported by National Lottery players through the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the John Ellerman Foundation and Art Fund.

TIMES SQUARE–– You could call it the summer blockbuster movie you've never heard of, but whose impact is enormous.
"War Room," directed by proven Christian-themed filmmakers Alex and Stephen Kendrick, has become the second highest-grossing film in North America, despite a small budget, minimal marketing and sometimes scathing reviews. It's a clear example of the reach of faith based films, and in the country's largest filmgoing market, New York, that reach is being strongly felt.
Its title seems more like a suspenseful thriller about geopolitical warfare, but the content is anything but. The movie's trailer has more scenes showing people praying or audio of a person's prayer than anything else. Most of the prayer comes from the grandmotherly character Miss Clara, played by Karen Abercrombie, who uses a walk-in closet in her home as her so-called war room, a place where she goes to be alone with the Lord, and pray for people, for their problems, for the world.
To some filmgoers, this may sound hokey. But to the filmmakers, it evokes the sound of cash registers ringing up higher and higher sales.
War Room was the country's second highest grossing film this past weekend, with $11.4 million in domestic receipts. That's about $1.8 million less than the number one film, "Straight Outta Compton."
It's an impressive showing, having beaten out other blockbusters like "Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation" and the widely promoted newcomer "No Escape." Far more impressive, however, is the fact that Straight Outta Compton, the number one film, played on 3,142 screens nationwide. War Room was seen on just 1,135 screens.
The biggest factor in the success of this movie about an upper middle class African-American couple who learn how prayer can save their marriage, was its ability to attract viewers. It did so despite a rather small $3.4 million budget, and virtual absence of mainstream marketing.
But filmgoers like Donnie Willis had been led to the movie through word of mouth in church or other religious groups. "It is an exceptional movie," said Willis, a self-described film buff and sometime movie reviewer who PIX11 encountered waiting outside a Times Square theater for the screening of another film, days after he'd seen War Room. "I recommend it to everyone. Everyone must see War Room. They will come out of that uplifted."
Gail Harry, who PIX11 encountered at the Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn, said that she'd seen the trailer, and intended to see War Room because it reaffirmed her own beliefs. "We need to really have that time spent with God," she said, "where we just isolate ourselves to just one place by ourselves."
Both of those filmgoers are churchgoers as well, who are interested in the power of prayer. More than a million people like them proved over the past weekend that they're willing to spend their money to see this film.
However, one of the country's most prominent pastors said it's not just the loyal church flock seeking to watch War Room, even though they do make up the majority of the audience.
"There seems to be an appetite in America amongst people of faith," said Rev. A.R. Bernard in an interview, "but also people who don't necessarily subscribe to a particular faith tradition, but they want to experience that there's a possibility, at least, of something greater than themselves."
Rev. Bernard is the pastor of the Christian Cultural Center. With its 37,000 members, it clearly wields influence. So much so, that before the rest of the world saw the largest-grossing religious film in history, "Passion of the Christ," director Mel Gibson invited Bernard to be one of a half-dozen clergy who previewed the movie. Their opinions were sought afterward, and ended up influencing the film's release and marketing.
Bernard said that even though War Room's reviews have included such descriptions as "a mess," "uninteresting," "preachy," and "shot like a term-life insurance infomercial," that doesn't matter.
"How much can we go by the critics, when the box office says people are hungry for this kind of entertainment, for this kind of experience?" asked Bernard.
Supporting his statement are things like information about the movie on the well regarded film website Rotten Tomatoes. There, only 29 percent of the critics liked War Room, but 91 percent of the audience liked it. That kind of disparity, as well as the financial success that comes with it, can't be ignored.
"I'm pleased," said Rev. Bernard, "that media that can be sometimes critical of the faith community is really taking the time and effort to look at what's happening spiritually and socially in our society."
He was referring to the news media, but his statement applies to entertainment media as well.
Since "Ben-Hur" and "The Ten Commandments" became major blockbusters in the 1950's, film studios have seen that faith based films can make big money at the box office. But War Room's massive profit shows that marquee names and state of the art production values aren't always necessary to create a hit movie.
That having been said, Hugh Jackman has already signed on to a movie project about the apostle Paul that's in development and is being produced by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

Crocs To Grand Final – Look Out Tigers!
Sunday, March 10 2019 @ 11:42 am ACDT
Contributed by: Wesley Hull
Views: 881
Next Saturday the NTFL Premier League season will come to a close when the Southern Districts Crocs attempt to retain their title and win back to back flags. Their demolition of the Tiwi Bombers last night at TIO Stadium saw them back into another big dance with a chance to seek their fourth flag.
Just last weekend, the Tigers trounced the Bombers to advance to the grand final. They looked a shade better than the rest. But Southern Districts have sounded an ominous warning to the Tigers after a blistering second half against the Bombers – they have told the Tigers outright that to win the flag you have to beat us.
After a tight first term, the Crocs got a little break on the Bombers by half time – a five goal break and a big rescue mission for the Bombers if they wanted to get back in the game. The 31-point deficit for the Bombers was significant, but not insurmountable.
However, after half time things were dramatically different. The second half was a procession as the Crocs went ballistic and kicked seventeen goals to two.
The Crocs kicked the opening four goals of the third quarter to effectively put the match out of reach. The Bombers kicked the next two back to back to show a little life, but from there the Crocs kicked thirteen unanswered goals to full time – eleven of those in a frightening final term.
In the end, the Southern Districts Crocs won by a whopping 120 points – in a Preliminary Final. The Bombers should be applauded for their fine comeback this season to reach the finals after a poor start and win their opening final. But the result yesterday, and the 90-point loss to Tigers the week before – show that they have some work to do over the off-season.
The stage is now set for what could be a fantastic finale. Nightcliff have been consistently good all season. The Crocs have had flat spots, but when they unleash their full armoury they look scary – ask the Bombers! Nightcliff clobbered the Crocs in Round 18 by 90 points. They, too, are frightening at their best.
But something suggests now that the grand-final won't be as one sided as the recent crop of scores indicate. In fact, a repeat of last year's one-point margin when the Crocs defeated the Buffaloes for the 2017/18 flag cannot be ruled out. The two best teams in the league will be out to win a premiership – and that changes everything.
Final Scores:
Southern Districts Crocs 25 10 160 d Tiwi Bombers 5 10 40
Next Weekend:
NTFL Premier League Grand Final
Nightcliff Tigers v Southern Districts Crocs – TIO Stadium 7.15pm

The fierce battle between the town teams ultimately ended in a 14-all draw after a scintillating 80 minutes of hard-hitting rugby league in the feature match of round five at The Swamp.
Brothers Darren and Terry Piri, coaching the Panthers and the Eels respectively, headlined the brotherly battle, which also featured Fijian siblings Lai Rogorogoivalu (Eels) and Jovilisi Naqitawa (Panthers).
These family connections did nothing to dampen the rivalry between the two teams however, who both brought their top game in the battle for top place on the points table.
Despite an early lead by the Eels, Panthers managed to fight back to level terms in a fiery end to the clash.
The hosts were clearly the better of the two sides in the opening half, mounting up pressure and creating opportunities to score two tries for a 10-0 lead at the break.
The Panthers were caught backpedalling but defended valiantly to avoid a bigger scoreline in the first half.
A strong pep talk from their coach Darren saw Panthers return much more organised in the second spell and, after conceding the third try in the match, they hit back in spectacular fashion.
Tries from Teina Savage, Othiniel Joseph and Eddie Nicholas ensured that the visitors maintained their unbeaten run intact with a 14-all draw.
"The message at the halftime was very clear," said Panthers coach Darren. "I told the boys that we haven't played rugby yet. We were just defending and giving away easy balls.
"But hats off to the boys, they fought back in the second half. It was up to them individually to pull their socks up and get the job done.
"I'm not saying that Avatiu is unbeatable. They are a great team and hats off to them for coming out firing at the start. We lapsed at the start of the game."
Former Eels mentor and senior player Clive Nicholas said they let themselves down after allowing the Panthers to crawl back into the game.
"We are disappointed but it's still early days. We got a lot to learn from this game. We were high in the first half and instead of keeping the foot on the paddle, we lost the momentum and allowed them to come back into the game," Nicholas said.
"Tupapa played well in the second half – they won the second half and we won the first half and in the end it was a draw, which is better than a loss."
In the other premier matches over the weekend, Ngatangiia Matavera Sea Eagles defeated Aitutaki Sharks 28-20 on Friday, while Titikaveka Bulldogs overcame TKV Warriors 24-22 in a close tussle on Saturday.
Premier: Sea Eagles 28 v Sharks 20, Eels 14 v Panthers 14, Bulldogs 24 v Warriors 22. Reserves: Eels 32 v Panthers 16. U19: Bears 28 v Bulldogs 8.

text: Is there something strange in your neighbourhood? You better believe it. I wanted to like this. I really did. But it's not bad, just butter. Even if there's a supposedly funny anti-Irish line within the first sixty seconds. There are two reasons to remake a film: to make it better; or to reinvent it entirely. It is not (usually) enough to slot characters of another gender into the original roles and just … shoot it again a few decades later. (Ask Gus Van Sant – look what he did with Psycho: I rest your case.) I love Melissa McCarthy. (Kristen Wiig? Not so much.) And I love how Paul Feig has made her a superstar – Spy was one of the funniest times I have had at the cinema in the last few years. It radically reinterpreted all the spy spoof tropes and made a woman a real hero – with some game performances from a fabulous supporting cast. The original Ghostbusters was sharply written and both funny and scary. Some of the best comic performers alive were starring in it (and Ernie Hudson). It was genuinely inventive. It had for its time some terrific special effects. It was a treat that anyone of any age could enjoy. It still gets regular screen outings because it is endlessly watchable. It is cleverly put together on every level. The worst thing about it was the theme song. And what have we here? A retread that in the space of 116 minutes made me laugh precisely twice. There are toilet jokes – an unfortunate component of Feig's humour and so unnecessary. There are 'bits' that no more work on the screen than they could have done when being performed. There are scenes that are overlong and silly – not because they're fun but because they make little sense. There isn't characterisation worth a damn. The people concerned were so sensitive to criticism of the trailer they reshot some scenes and inserted some 'funny' putdowns. Not a sign of security in your work and really not a good idea to take on the paying audience, eh? When the original cast members (with the obvious sad absence of Harold Ramis) do their cameos you greet them with a sigh of relief from the relentless stupidity. Bill Murray does a Tom Wolfe impression as a debunker and when asked if these women are the real thing, barks, Hell no! And the best thing about this? The original song. (Which was the worst part of the first film). All those terrific women put together cannot hold a candle to Sigourney Weaver – underlined by her appearance in the final scene. Note: maybe I wasn't paying attention but why were all the neon and Broadway signs during the big confrontation from the Sixties and Seventies? Beyond the Fringe?! Beyond belief. You've been slimed!

The high-end leather company Bosca stakes its reputation on tradition. For more than a century, the Springfield-based company has specialized in fine leather items ranging from handbags and briefcases to wallets and guitar straps.
In recent years, however, the company has innovated in several key areas, including manufacturing, marketing and an increasing shift to selling online through bosca.com and retailers' sites.
The modernization efforts have been led by CEO Chris Bosca, grandson of founder Hugo Bosca. The company's current namesake runs a business that honors the past and looks to the future.
Q: How long has the company been in business?
A: The Bosca brand is over 100 years old now. It was founded in 1911 by my grandfather, who came over from Italy.
Q: When did you become involved in the business?
A: When I was a little kid, on most Saturday mornings I was down at the office with my dad (Mario Bosca), and I'd be out in the factory making something. I went to Wittenberg University, and when I was there, I worked in the factory on the stitching line. Then, in 1986, I came back from graduate school, and I've been there continuously ever since.
Q: What changes have you brought to the company?
A: We're all pretty stubborn here about what we do and the quality of what we do, but under the surface, how we do that has changed. How we design the product, how we manufacture the product, where we manufacture the product, how we communicate the brand.
In the old days, we used a line system that was really established by U.S. Shoe a long time ago. In my time, we changed most of that to cellular, or modular, manufacturing, which was a version of the Toyota method where a group of people is carefully selected to be a team. This group of people would work in a circle, and by the end of it, these products were finished, inspected and packaged.
We do much, much more manufacturing outside of the building now. We do a fairly small amount of manufacturing in the building. We really design more with the customer and the purpose of the product in mind. When your primary goal is to run a factory, you want to make things that your factory makes. When your primary mission is to be a branded retail presence, then you want to make stuff that is really correct for that moment in the market for your brand.
Q: Who are your main competitors?
A: We compete with low-price product that you can find in a big-box retailer all the way up to the high-end fashion brands, especially somebody like a Ferragamo or a Tod's. Maybe not a Louis Vuitton or a Gucci, because people who see Louis Vuitton and Gucci, they only see that. There's a smaller, but really great, part of the market out there that really sees the product.
Q: How do you get your products into people's homes then versus today?
A: Throughout our history, we've always sold through retail stores, and in my lifetime, that meant many department stores — 50 department stores — who were nice, high-end, multi-branded department stores. Now it's down to a couple of department stores that are in existence and are appropriate for our brand. The only business that has been a big growth business for us has been internet business, whether it has been through a Zappos or nordstrom.com or through our own website.
We're all discovering that this is now the communication channel. This is how we tell the story. As a retailer and as a brand, this is how we need to get our message out for people to be able to discover us.
Q: What percentage of your sales are online?
A: If you look at what we think is an online purchase versus a purchased-in-the-store purchase, I think it's a little bit north of 55 percent right now, so that would include a nordstrom.com and some of our other partners.
I think that much of the purchase that is done in-store is influenced by our online activity. I think almost all of our new customers discover us online, and then they go to stores to find our product. I think that there is a very hand-in-glove relationship between online sales and in-store sales.

CEO Peter McDermott of Minnesota Diversified Industries (MDI) wasn't looking for this job.
However, he took over the failing contract manufacturer nearly a decade ago from a dismissed manager and turned it into a growth company of 525 employees, including nearly half with developmental disabilities.
MDI has plants in northeast Minneapolis, Hibbing, Grand Rapids and Cohasset.
"This is the best job I've ever had and I've enjoyed them all," said McDermott, 68, who started as a public accountant in St. Paul, served as CFO of Blandin Paper and Cirrus Aircraft, and also ran the economic development board for Itasca County, from which he was recruited by the MDI board.
"We've got all the challenges of any business," McDermott said. "We have to do a good business, generate positive cash flow and add more people."
MDI also has a mission to hire and develop employees with disabilities through an integrated-workforce approach.

Our goal is to provide the freshest and most delicious ingredients to all of our meals. We count ourselves fortunate to live in the Garden State as it makes this goal simple to follow!
Our trade secret lies in our love and support for local small business. Purchasing produce locally ensures we get it as close to harvest as possible, and the less time food takes to get from the farmer to the plate, the better it will taste. New Jersey is home to some of the best Agriculture in the entire country, granting us a flavor advantage from the start. By using as much locally grown produce as we can, we also help to ensure the rich resources New Jersey has to offer.
Due to our specific climate, some produce may not be available locally (tropical fruits, exotic grains, etc…) so we purchase in small quantities to ensure quality and flavor for each and every event.
