Ohio State College of Nursing, Ohio Nurses Association partner to promote Million Hearts® Initiative
Two organizations dedicated to improving the health of Ohioans are teaming up to target crisis levels of cardiovascular disease in the state.
The Ohio State University College of Nursing and the Ohio Nurses Association (ONA) have partnered to expand participation in the Million Hearts® Initiative, a national effort launched in 2011 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to prevent one million heart attacks and strokes by 2017. In Ohio, heart disease and stroke are the first- and fifth-leading causes of death, respectively, for both men and women, according to the Ohio Department of Health.
"Nurses are well equipped to assume a leadership role in reaching the goal of the Million Hearts initiative," said Bernadette Melnyk, PhD, RN, CPNP/PMHNP, FAANP, FNAP, FAAN, associate vice president for health promotion, university chief wellness officer and dean of the College of Nursing at Ohio State. "As prevention and health-promotion specialists, nurses are powerfully positioned to aggressively prevent, assess and manage cardiovascular disease risk factors. We are delighted the Ohio Nurses Association is joining us on our quest to prevent heart attacks and strokes in our state and our nation."
The College of Nursing offers a free online educational module that empowers healthcare professionals to provide cardiovascular community screenings, individualized patient education and referrals for abnormal screenings. As part of the partnership, ONA transformed the modules into free nursing continuing education for its members, for which they may earn up to 3.46 contact hours. The module was first created when the college launched the National Interprofessional Education and Practice Collaborative to Advance Million Hearts, which has resulted in more than 35,000 individuals being screened for and educated on cardiovascular disease throughout Ohio and the nation.
"The Ohio Nurses Association is thrilled to have formed this collaboration with The Ohio State University in an effort to reduce heart attack and stroke in the citizens of Ohio," Lori Chovanak, MN, RN, APRN-BC, CEO of ONA, said. "This collaborative model is the perfect conduit for our nurses to reach out to their communities and provide one-on-one attention to individuals and talk with them about their risk. If every ONA nurse reaches 10 members in their community, Ohio Nurses Association will provide 100,000 Ohioans with a free preventative screening and support for improving their overall health."
A free toolkit is available on ONA's website to assist ONA, its members and other healthcare professionals in hosting Million Hearts events. It is designed to be a one-stop place for patient-education materials, assessor tools, event-planning tips and more.
After screenings, ONA and its members will provide anonymous data for the Million Hearts database so statewide impact can be tracked. Data to be tracked includes blood pressure, BMI, age and others.
Those interested in adding the free Million Hearts assessments to their community events may contact Molly Ackley at the Ohio Nurses Association at email@example.com. The free health assessments may also be conducted at workplaces as an employee benefit.

You have the power to speak up and let your officials know what issues matter to the wind industry, and what actions they can take to expand clean, affordable, homegrown wind energy in America.
RALEIGH, N.C. — Acting against the interest of North Carolina job-seekers and businesses, last week state legislators placed a moratorium on new wind farm permits through 2018. The last-minute amendment to H 589, a wide ranging energy bill, will stop North Carolina from harvesting more homegrown wind power. The bill now awaits a final decision from North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper.
"We're calling on Governor Cooper to veto this bill due to the unnecessary, anti-business regulation slipped in at the final moment. If the bill stands, it will cast a shadow on North Carolina, a state currently on the leading edge of wind energy development in the Southeast," said Andrew Gohn, Eastern Region Policy Director for the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). "North Carolina had just made a big step forward completing its first major wind energy project, one of the very first in the Southeast, bringing jobs and millions in private investment with it. Other North Carolina wind projects are close behind, but this moratorium will send their investment to other states who welcome economic growth."
Supporters of the moratorium on wind development mistakenly claim it is needed to "consider the impact of future wind energy facilities and energy infrastructure on military operations, training, and readiness." In reality, there is an existing Department of Defense (DOD) process to evaluate, and if necessary, block wind farms. That process was strengthened in the FY17 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
"Over 53,000 wind turbines are in operation in 40 other U.S. states – some in close proximity to military bases – with no issues reported, no base missions harmed, and national security protected," said Gohn. "The current Department of Defense wind project review process works. As a result, no wind project has ever been built over the objection of the Department of Defense."
"Wind power is the leading source of American renewable energy capacity, making our nation more self-reliant and secure," Gohn added. "The wind industry supports American servicemen and servicewomen at home and abroad. In fact, the wind industry employs veterans at a rate 50 percent higher than the national average. Unfortunately, passing laws like this one hurts, rather than helps, our national security and energy independence."
North Carolina recently became the 41st state to host a utility-scale wind project. Though wind development is just getting started in North Carolina, the industry already employs close to 2,000 Americans in the state with 26 active factories supplying the wind industry. Across the U.S. wind power employs more than 100,000 Americans and added jobs over 9 times faster than the overall economy in 2016.

AWEA is the national trade association for the U.S. wind industry, the largest source of renewable energy in the country. We represent 1,000 member companies, 120,000 jobs in the U.S. economy, and a nationwide workforce located across all 50 states. AWEA serves as a powerful voice for how wind works for America. Members include global leaders in wind power and energy development, turbine manufacturing, and component and service suppliers. They gather each year at the Western Hemisphere's most efficient and targeted event for utility-scale renewable companies, the AWEA CLEANPOWER Conference & Exhibition, next in Indianapolis, June 7-10, 2021. An outgrowth of the AWEA WINDPOWER Conference & Exhibition, CLEANPOWER is the first trade show focused exclusively on the utility-scale renewable power sector, bringing together all the major developers, utilities, OEMs, suppliers and buyers under one roof.

Virginia Woolf believed that in order for a woman to write fiction, she needs two things: money and a room of her own. Woolf lived during a time when women rarely had their own income or a space they could call theirs so this was apt advice at the time she wrote her famous essay on the subject.
Now, times have changed and while equality of the sexes still has a long way to go, women have come a long way in securing those two vital things that Woolf believed was essential for writing: money and property. Nevertheless, Woolf's observation remains relevant to all writers today. Writers need an income to support themselves while they are working on their manuscripts and they need a space of their own to work without interruption. In a world of constant interruptions and financial uncertainty for many, these can still be difficult things for today's writers to acquire. Even if a writer does have her own space to work, it may not be the perfect space that she would choose if she had the option.
What would your perfect writing space look like? Mine would be a small home library. The room would be just small enough to be cozy without feeling cramped. The colour scheme would be pastel blues and yellows accented with white and wood floors of a light colour, perhaps pine. Floor-to-ceiling white bookshelves in a sleek minimalist style would house all my precious tomes. There would be a white desk with plenty of storage for my gadgets and notes sitting in front of a large window with a nice nature view. I'd have a new, high-end laptop sitting on the desk, equipped with my best friend, Scrivener. There would also be a cozy armchair with some sort of vibrant floral print and a coffee table for my reading sessions. Maybe I'd even have a Keurig or Tassimo in the room for easy access to caffeine, but now I'm just indulging in flights of fancy.
In reality, I write sitting on my bed with my old clunker of a beat-up laptop resting on a makeshift portable desk in my lap. The walls are a hellish hot pink, the carpet old and stained, there is minimal storage and my bookshelf can't hold all of my books. I have rows of books in front of rows of books just trying to cram them all in. I do, however, have a large window with a beautiful nature view, so it isn't all bad.
I imagine many writers just like me struggle with having to write in a room that may technically be theirs, but doesn't feel like theirs because it doesn't suit their personal style. Being in that room doesn't make them happy. How does a writer reclaim a space they don't enjoy being in to make it more conducive to their writing? I've struggled with this myself for a long time now and it was only recently that I started developing some small strategies for claiming ownership of a room I'm actually not very fond of.
Of course, I would love to paint the walls a nice eggshell blue like I dream about, rip up the carpet and replace it with pine wood, and install floor-to-ceiling shelving units for my books but that takes a lot of time, money and DIY know-how. I needed a simpler, easier solution. Here are the two main things that helped me the most:
Keep Your Space Clean
The first solution might seem obvious but you'd be surprised how many writers forget about mundane things like cleaning when they're invested in a manuscript or struggling with mental health due to being in an environment they dislike all the time. Clean. Your. Writing. Space. Often. Every week, at least. Vacuum or sweep the floors, dust off all the surfaces, organise any scattered objects lying around the room, wash any fabrics like throw blankets, infuse the room with a pleasing scent of your choice using incense, candles, or synthetic air fresheners. If it's a nice day, open the windows and let the scent of fresh air and greenery permeate the room. Trust me, the nice smell makes all the difference. When my writing space is dirty and cluttered, my mind feels dirty and cluttered, too, which causes my emotional state to suffer, which decreases my motivation to write. Cleaning my writing space helps keep me focused and feeling good in my surroundings. Own your space by taking care of it.
Add Your Personal Touch
Having a clean space to write in is wonderful, but does it really feel like your space if it doesn't have anything of you in it? My writing space had bare walls for years, leaving my eyes with nothing but that horrid bright pink that I imagine Lucy from The Heaven Corporation would coat the walls of Hell with. I decided if I couldn't paint the walls a different colour, I could at least cover them up with artwork that I actually enjoy looking at. I've started putting up both my own artwork and art from local artists that I've picked up at various local festivals and artisan markets. It makes a big difference. Now looking at my walls doesn't make my eyes bleed anymore. I actually smile when I see all this art that I picked out or created myself. It makes me feel like this room is mine and not just four walls I happen to spend time in. I didn't stop at wall art, either. I've also adorned my bookshelf with small trinkets that make it feel more personal and added faux flowers for some extra colour. The bottom line is, whatever makes you happy on this earth, fill your writing space with it. Make it yours.
I've attached some examples of little personal touches I've added to my writing space to truly make it my own so feel free to click through the brief slideshow for some inspiration. Click on the circular thumbnails to get the full view and captions about why I added that piece to my writing space.
I hope I've helped you find a room of your own to write in this week.

Relocating with Families
Moving to a new country with your family can be an exciting adventure for all. Portugal has a lot to offer immigrating families. It is safe, has a good level of education and people who are approachable and have a healthy, relaxed lifestyle. There are plenty of child-friendly venues and activities. Bear in mind, though, that it will take time to work through bureaucratic procedures, find appropriate accommodation and schooling/childcare and prepare your children. Hence it is crucial to start planning the move well in advance!
First of all, you should look into the entry requirements for moving to Portugal with family members. Generally, you will be able to apply for a Family Reunion visa once you have been resident in Portugal for more than a year. For detailed information on visa requirements, see the Immigration and Borders Service website. For more information on family entry requirements, see Family Members and Marriage and the other articles in our Immigration section.
Portugal is a safe country, though as with anywhere, some areas are more suitable for families than others. Hence it is essential to take the time to find an area that has adequate facilities for children, access to good medical care and schooling, and is otherwise family-friendly. To help find such a place, have a look at the respective municipality website and consult online blogs and forums for first-hand information. See for example the Expat Briefing Forum.
Another important step is to look into schooling and childcare options. The quality of international schools and similar institutions in Portugal is good. Most expats in Portugal prefer to send their children to private or international schools and nurseries. Yet even in these institutions quality and cost vary greatly. Hence it is best to do a thorough online research and check online forums for school and nursery reviews! Bear in mind that popular institutions have long waiting lists, and you may need to contact them before you move. For further information on schooling options in Portugal, see our Education section. To read more on childcare, see Family Life and Childcare.
Last but not least, children can find moving to another country stressful, so make sure you take the time to prepare them. If approached the right way, they will be able to see the move as an exciting new start. Before you leave your home country, tell your children about Portugal and talk with them about any anxieties they may have. Make sure they are able to stay in touch with their friends in your home country. These days, with Skype, email and social media, this is quite easy.
You can also teach your children what you know about the local culture, and, if possible, take them for a visit to their new homeland. Additionally, if they do not yet speak Portuguese, it is a good idea to enrol them at a language school. For further guidance on preparing children for relocation, see Kids' Relocation Issues, Crown Relocations and, for a rather more personal guide, Hands in Portugal.
Pets moving to Portugal from within the EU are subject to the Pet Travel Scheme, which controls the movement of cats, dogs and ferrets (domestic carnivores) into and within the EU. However, special rules apply in Portugal: it is illegal to import ferrets into Portugal or keep them as pets. (This law is controversial as it contradicts EU rulings on the matter).
In Portugal, all cats and dogs must be microchipped (a tattoo is valid if it was completed before 3rd July 2011) and vaccinated against rabies and dogs must be vaccinated against EM tapeworm. There must be a 21-day waiting period after the primary rabies vaccination.
Owners in EU countries and certain other European territories need to obtain a pet passport for each pet. The passport is issued by a qualified vet and records the microchip number and details of vaccination dates and certain other medical treatments. Pets coming from other non-EU countries must have a health certificate issued by a qualified vet instead of a pet passport. Those not from countries listed here must additionally undergo a blood test then wait 3 months before they can be brought into an EU country.
Herbivorous pets (rodents and rabbits) do not need identification to cross EU borders, but they must be declared. If you are immigrating from outside the EU, you also need to produce a vet's health certificate in either Portuguese or English. For detailed information on regulations have a look at the website of the Food and Veterinary Directorate-General (DGAV).
If you are moving your pet into Portugal from outside the European Economic Area, you must have it vaccinated against rabies and other specified infections before you travel. To prove that you have done so, you need to have a rabies vaccination certificate that was issued no earlier than 30 days and no later than twelve months before the date of your arrival in the country. Pets from countries with a high incidence of rabies may additionally need to be subjected to blood titre tests.
It is a good idea to hire a specialist pet relocation company to help you move your pet to Portugal. Not only do these providers have suitable travel containers for pets, they also assist with the complicated paperwork. Among the most prominent companies offering pet relocations to Portugal are:
Sections in RELOCATION IN PORTUGAL:
» International Relocation for Expats in Portugal
» Repatriation for Expats in Portugal
» Expats Relocating with Families and Pets in Portugal
If you are considering moving to Portugal or are soon to depart, you can find helpful information and advice in the Expat Briefing dedicated Portugal section including; details of immigration and visas, Portuguese forums, Portuguese event listings and service providers in Portugal.
From your safety to shopping, living in Portugal can yield great benefits as well as occasional drawbacks. Find your feet and stay abreast of the latest developments affecting expats in Portugal with relevant news and up-to-date information.
Working in Portugal can be rewarding as well as stressful, if you don't plan ahead and fulfill any legal requirements. Find out about visas and passports, owning and operating a company in Portugal, and general Portuguese culture of the labour market.

Angels' odd mix of Mike Trout & Co. inspires hope: 'Nothing but belief in ourselves'
There's a certain numbing consistency to many of the eight seasons Mike Trout and Albert Pujols have spent with the Los Angeles Angels. Trout, baseball's bullet train, amazes and inspires and stretches the limits of greatness more often than he's merely ordinary.
Pujols, every so often, provides a flash of the brilliance that makes him perhaps the greatest right-handed hitter of his generation, methodically climbing an array of all-time lists.
"I feel like every time Pujols does anything," starter Trevor Cahill says, "he's going to pass somebody."
So Trout dominates, Pujols accumulates, the Angels miss the playoffs and it's same as it ever was for its once-in-a-lifetime superstars?
Well, maybe not.
POWER RANKINGS: Astros primed to run away with AL West
GIANTS: It's time for the rebuild to begin – by trading Bumgarner
Certainly, this year's edition remains rich with future Hall of Famers, poor on pitching and, on paper, far behind the Houston Astros. Yet as the Angels put a 9-16 start further behind them with 11 wins in 16 games, a combination of uncovered gems and returning stalwarts has forged a feeling ranging somewhere between intrigue and hope.
"We have nothing but belief in ourselves," says lefty starter Tyler Skaggs.
Trout, now 27 and in possession of sport's most lucrative contract, is just the start of that belief. The $426 million man's production has remained so absurdly steady – his .464 on-base percentage just a tick above 2018's mark of .460 – that it serves as a mere baseline for the Angels' hopes.
No, they'd need production elsewhere to invigorate a team that won between 74 and 85 games since 2014, the lone playoff appearance since the Trout-Pujols alliance began in 2012.
Who knew it would come from a forgettable trade, and a waiver-wire grab?
When All-Star outfielder Justin Upton suffered a severe toe injury in the club's final spring exhibition, sidelining him up to three months, the timing seemed terrible.
It proved fortuitous.
The Angels' sudden need for a left fielder coincided with Brian Goodwin's name hitting the waiver wire. Goodwin, 28, had never been a major league regular, failing to carve out a role on outfield-heavy Washington Nationals contenders. They practically gave him away to Kansas City last July, and then the Royals placed him on waivers at the end of camp.
In Anaheim, Goodwin has been a godsend: His .836 OPS has for the moment mitigated Upton's absence. Though it's still just a 38-game sample, Goodwin is grateful he's received a greater on-ramp to succeed – or fail – than he did after the Nationals made him the 34th overall pick in 2011. Boxed in by Bryce Harper, Jayson Werth and others, Goodwin never received more than 251 at-bats in parts of three seasons there.
"In D.C., it was like, if I don't do it right now," says Goodwin, snapping his fingers, "well, it was a lot more pressure to do it right away. It's tough to play this game under pressure. This game is so mental, man. It definitely didn't make it easy.
"Coming in, going to your locker, passing the lineup card and knowing you're in the lineup, you're just comfortable. I hope Justin Upton comes back healthy and soon – I love him, he's a great dude. But for the time being, you kind of know what to expect."
While far from a wide-eyed rookie, Goodwin is nonetheless grateful punching the clock alongside Trout and Pujols, who recently became just the third player since 1920 with 2,000 career RBI.
"The focus that they put in is just on a different level – time, attention to detail," says Goodwin. "They have a plan that they start working on hours and days in advance. It gives you an opportunity to apply that to what you want to do, to be able to show up every single day for a long season and figure out a way to play when the lights go on."
While Angels general manager Billy Eppler has been hit-and-miss in his two off-seasons of work, his shrewdest move barely caused a ripple. A November trade with the Chicago Cubs for infielder Tommy La Stella seemed minor, but now looms large: He leads the team with 10 home runs, including a go-ahead shot in their series-opening win at Minnesota on Monday night. His .947 OPS means the team is not dependent on infielder Zack Cozart, who has been injured and unproductive (.197, .576 OPS) in two seasons of a three-year, $38 million deal.
La Stella, 30, went to four postseasons with the Cubs, but, similar to Goodwin, never received more than 169 plate appearances in a season; in fact, his 10 home runs in 36 games exceed the nine he hit in four seasons with the Cubs.
He's not yet ready to declare a better version of himself, but appreciates the opportunity.
"I try not to think too far ahead, necessarily," he says. "It's been nice to get out there and get consistent at-bats, and kind of remember how I used to go about approaching four or five at-bats in a game."
Collectively, the squad is a tough out. The Angels have struck out the fewest times of any team in the major leagues, with super utilityman David Fletcher, La Stella, Andrelton Simmons and catcher Jonathan Lucroy ranking near the top of the league in strikeout rate.
Their offense ranks sixth or eighth in the AL in runs, average and OPS – not bad considering Upton's absence and Shohei Ohtani's return just last week.
Oh, yeah, Ohtani.
He's just half of himself this year, his right arm barred from pitching as he recovers from Tommy John surgery. He hit his first homer of the season on Monday and his .925 OPS in 367 plate appearances as a rookie is a sufficient sample to assume big things soon.
The Angels know they haven't yet faced the Astros – who swept a pair of games from them in Mexico to start this 11-game road trip – with their varsity squad.
"It's a fact – they haven't seen our best," says Lucroy. "I like to think of it like free agent signings coming up, guys coming off the injured list. If we can hang around close – I know the Astros are playing well, but they do have two wild-cards for the playoffs. Being at full strength for us is going to be a huge advantage.
"A lot of guys are optimistic. We've been playing really well. I've been doing this long enough to know anything can happen, as long as you don't let that distance get too big."
Right now, that deficit is 6 ½ games in the AL West. The wild card will be just that, with two stout entries from the AL East among the Rays, Yankees and Red Sox, and one of the Indians and Twins in the Central.
All that's a bit premature. For now, Trout leads AL position players in Wins Above Replacement and a seventh top-four MVP finish, at least, seems likely.
Pujols will soon pass Dave Winfield and Alex Rodriguez on the all-time hits list, and at 641 home runs, will creep closer to Willie Mays' 660, fifth all-time.
Should rookie pitcher Griffin Canning stick in the rotation, and relievers J.C. Ramirez and Keynan Middleton return healthy and viable this summer, the pieces will further come together.
This odd mix of legends and leftovers has its head above water, not lacking in determination or for opportunity.
"This group – the excitement they have to get better, the will to win, is just different," says Goodwin. "You have these superstars and you'd never know they had all these individual accolades, because when it's all said and done if we don't win, it's not important to them.
"They're in the spotlight. But they'd rather be in it for a different reason."

Prague's trams, emblazoned with advertisements for Camel or Marlboro,
provide some of the more obvious signs of how determined Western companies
are to penetrate the new markets of Eastern Europe. In a country where 39
per cent of the population already smoke, lung cancer is a leading cause
of death.
Last month, the US conglomerate Phillip Morris bought 30 per cent of
Czechoslovakia's leading tobacco company, Tabak, for $400 million. Phillip
Morris already owns a tobacco company in Hungary, is a partner in a joint
venture with a Russian tobacco firm, and has a licensing agreement with
a Polish company. 'We want to invest as much as we can in Eastern European
countries,' says Phillipe Grandjean, of Phillip Morris. 'We will continue
marketing local brands and introduce new brands, such as Marlboro and L&Ms.'
Public health experts are frustrated by such announcements. Government
statistics show that lung cancer accounts for the entire increase in cancer
in the decades of Communist rule. Thirty years ago there were fewer than
25 deaths from lung cancer per 100 000 people; by the late 1980s this figure
had reached 100. In the two years since the velvet revolution, the number
of smokers in Czechoslovakia has increased by 2.5 per cent.
While there is disagreement about the contribution air pollution makes
to lung disease, most experts agree that smoking is at the very least a
contributing factor. Some insist it is the largest factor.
Public health workers are mounting anti-smoking campaigns, but they
face massive opposition. The Marlboro and Camel advertisements reveal an
enormous loophole in a year-old law, which prohibits tobacco advertising
in mass media, but fails to define what it means by 'mass media'. The Czech
Ministry for Economic Policy argues that the word Marlboro applies to products
other than cigarettes, and that only those who already smoke would recognise
the posters as tobacco advertisements.
To add to these obstacles, the finance ministry axed the Czech health
ministry's proposal for a 1 per cent tax on cigarette sales to pay for antismoking
programmes. Even suggestions that cigarette packets should carry warnings
that are standard in Western countries are met with hostility. Last month
a journalist complained in the Czech magazine MLady Svet that a new warning,
'Smoking causes cancer', creates fear and anxiety. Tobacco brands that carry
warnings in the US, including Marlboro and Camel, have no such labels in

Writing and Rhetoric Centre
The workshops offered by Sciences Po's Writing and Rhetoric Centre help students develop and enrich their written and oral expression in order to improve their skills in public speaking.
With the aim of offering students better support in Sciences Po's academic exercises – such as the Grand Oral -, preparing them for the workplace and introducing them to freestyle and creative writing, Sciences Po's Writing and Rhetoric Centre focuses on three key areas:
- Argumentation, with the aim of providing students with the methodological tools they need to master speech-making in an academic and professional context.
- Public speaking, with the aim of teaching students to develop the quality of their relationship with their audience, to listen and convince, to master basic tools to manage their stress when speaking in public, to develop their vocal charisma and body language, and to improve their oral style.
- Creative writing, with the aim of creating a space for freedom and imagination in which students can play with language and share, if they so wish, their creations with their peers and with well-known writers and publishers.
The workshops employ active teaching methods to put students at the heart of Sciences Po's learning approach and ensure they play an instrumental role, both in their own public speaking and in their studies at Sciences Po.
Academic Requirements
These cross-disciplinary, optional workshops are open to students who wish to progress in a specific area of expression – written and/or oral.
A workshop of 18 hrs to 24 hrs is worth 2 optional ECTS credits.
The Writing and Rhetoric Centre and the Writer-in-Residence Chair are supported by FNAC Darty, the Fondation Simone et Cino Del Duca (fr.) and the Fondation Jan Michalski.

Classical Opera was founded in 1997 by conductor Ian Page to explore the works of Mozart and his contemporaries, and has emerged as one of the leading exponents in its field.
In 2017 it launched a new brand, The Mozartists, enabling it to broaden its ever-expanding concert work while continuing to present recordings and performances of complete operas under the name of Classical Opera. With its own acclaimed period-instrument orchestra, the company has attracted widespread critical and public recognition, not only for the high quality of its performances but also for its imaginative programming and its ability to discover and nurture outstanding young singers.
In 2015 it launched MOZART 250, a ground-breaking 27-year project following the chronological trajectory of Mozart's life, works and influences. Classical Opera has performed regularly at many of London and the UK's leading venues, including Wigmore Hall, the Barbican, Sadler's Wells, Birmingham Town Hall and Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, and on tour in Italy, France, Germany and Austria, where it enjoyed a three-concert residency at the 2016 Eisenstadt Haydn Festival.
It has mounted staged productions of many of Mozart's operas, and in 2009 presented The Royal Opera's new production of Thomas Arne's Artaxerxes. It has also given the world première of the 'original' version of Mozart's Mitridate, re di Ponto, and the UK premières of Gluck's La clemenza di Tito, Telemann's Orpheus and Jommelli's Il Vologeso. Classical Opera's first two recordings – 'The A-Z of Mozart Opera' (Sony BMG, 2007, rereleased on Signum Classics, 2014) and 'Blessed Spirit – a Gluck retrospective' (Wigmore Hall Live, 2010) – were both selected for Gramophone magazine's annual Critic's Choice.
In May 2016 the company released 'Where'er You Walk', with tenor Allan Clayton, which was shortlisted for the 2017 International Opera Awards, and this was followed in May 2017 by The Mozartists' début recording 'Perfido!', a programme of Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven concert arias featuring soprano Sophie Bevan.
Following its successful full length opera, Artaxerxes, Classical Opera return with the first in an epic series of Mozart operas Apollo et Hyacinthus. Named in The Guardian as one of 'The Best Classical albums of 2012'. Classical Opera has mounted two staged productions of Mozart's Apollo et Hyacinthus (1998 and 2006), with both receiving wide critical acclaim; The Independent stated, "Classical Opera's polished debut in Apollo et Hyacinthus proved a pearl beyond price. Here was a work of staggering beauty riddled with sweet noises like Caliban's enchanted isle."
Continuing their complete Mozart opera recording cycle, The Mozartists' latest release shines a light on two early opera works by Mozart. Bastien und Bastienne is the only one of Mozart's operas to have been written for performance in a private house rather than a theatre. Commissioned at some point in mid-1768 by the renowned and controversial German physician Franz Anton Mesmer, it tells the tale of two young shepherds, Bastien and Bastienne, being reconciled in love by the fortune teller and magician Colas after Bastien has briefly been lured away by the attractions of a noble lady from the city. This new recording uses Mozart's original 1768 setting of the libretto by F. W. Weiskern & J. H. F. Müller, the provenance of which was only established in the 1980s. The orchestra is the star of the show - BBC Music Magazine Ian Page and his crack team are clearly having a lot of fun, which comes across in this excellent recording. It's a treat to experience - Gramophone Page's Classical Opera project goes from strength to strength - The Sunday Times If you are looking for a superb performance of one of Mozart's young productions then this is very much the best place to invest - Music Web International A little jewel not to be missed! - Crescendo (France) Heavenly! - Stretto (Holland) Ian Page's subtle and dynamic gesture makes all the difference, and places his musical output among that of the best Mozartian interpreters of today - Classique News (France) This CD is an ideal point of discovery both for those curious about Mozart's earlier works and the Mozart connoisseur alike- BSECS
A programme of concert arias by Mozart, Haydn and BeethovenLeading British soprano Sophie Bevan performs a sumptuous programme of concert arias by Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven. Bevan is accompanied on this new recording by The Mozartists, recently launched by Ian Page's internationally renowned period ensemble Classical Opera as an expansion of its continuing exploration of Mozart and his contemporaries. Complementing Classical Opera's ongoing recording series of the complete operas of Mozart, the creation of The Mozartists reflects the group's expanding repertoire and ambitious plans, and they can be heard in concert from September 2017.

I am having an off day.
I got no sleep last night (that's bad), but my morning was free, so I was able to get a little nap (that's good). This afternoon, I had to take Harper down the street so she could see the homecoming parade (that's good). The parade gave me a headache (that's bad), and she spent the entire time playing with the other kids (that's good). Thankfully, since I have no life to speak of (that's bad), I have nothing to do tonight but sit around the house and laze about (that's good). The house is also cursed (that's bad).
Is there a point to this boring story? Yep:this is probably going to be the only thing I post today. You have my sincerest apologies...Ok, so they're not all that sincere...Ok, so I'm not sorry at all-don't put me on the spot like that.

Vulnerable adult targeted in St Albans theft
PUBLISHED: 15:39 29 June 2012
A CALLOUS thief stole a watch from a vulnerable adult as he walked down a street in St Albans.
The victim was going along Church Street when a man came up to him at the junction with Grange Street.
He asked if the victim had any money and when he said no, took his mobile phone and wallet from his pocket.
The victim called for help, which made the thief drop the stolen items but not before he took the watch from the victim's wrist and ran off.
The incident happened at around 10pm on Friday June 1.
The thief is described as a black man aged between 18 and 25. He had short or shaven hair and was wearing a light brown jumper, plain dark trousers and black or blue trainers.
Police are appealing for witnesses. Anyone with information should call the non-emergency number 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

It has been said, 'the rain falls on all, good and bad', which is a natural requisite for the development and maintenance of life. Above what is natural is the mystery of rewards which are experienced throughout life and the supreme rewards offered are eternal life, peace and joy. But before these rewards can be realised will come the tests of life, together with minor rewards that can flow from the acceptance of these tests in the light of their worth.
Minor rewards that receive some acceptance are rewards above the natural; rewards that can be referred to as miracles. Miracles do happen, especially minor yet important miracles, more often than one realises. They are not always classified as miracles or seen at the time as miracles but a miracle is something that is not specifically of the relative natural world.
Minor miracles are rewards granted for the acceptance of, or an inclination towards, goodwill. Inclinations of goodwill can be so obscure as not to be seen by most but are clearly observed and remembered by Me your God. For this reason little rewards fall gently every day to protect and restore the lives of many just as the rain falls to earth as a blessing for natural life. In gratitude and love offer a pray every day of your life for the rewards, the graces you receive knowingly or unknowingly throughout your entire life.
'A test brings forth a testimony and the more demanding the test, the more rewarding is the testimony.'
'Life is a gift to be lived eternally by those who love wholly.'

The Perfect Anti-Aging Skincare Routine
Any woman will certainly want a younger-looking skin always. If you ask around, don't be shocked if many will answer that looking younger than their real age is on top of their wish list.
As we age, so as our skin. Our skin cells are growing and dying every day. We can't stop this because this is a normal cycle. What we can do is to slow down our skin aging, but of course, figuring out how to get ageless skin is not that simple. Before you can come up with a skincare routine, you must know and understand the most common causes/factors of premature aging so that you can prevent it from happening, because as the saying goes "prevention is better than cure".
What Causes Our Skin to Age
Aging is a natural process of growing old. Yet, there are many factors that play important role in whether we age gracefully or we aged faster than our biological age.
- Excessive drinking and smoking – We all know that it will not do us any good. Aside from it makes us look older, it also brings all kinds of health problems. Heavy smokers develop fine lines and wrinkles faster than those who do not smoke. Deep forehead wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth and eye are visible. Heavy drinkers have facial skin that has been discolored over time, has poor muscle tone, and often has blood vessels or spider veins.
- Sun damage – Sun damage is the number one cause why we have visible fine lines and wrinkles. Age spots, pigmentation, reduced skin elasticity, and other forms of discoloration are caused by harmful UV rays.
- Unhealthy diet – There are foods that will help you retain a younger-looking skin and healthy body, and there are foods that will help you age faster than normal. Choosing a diet that is high in fats and sugar and consuming processed foods is a good example of poor diet. Choose healthy foods like green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits to be healthy inside out.
- Stress – If you are currently stressed over something – stop! You're only making yourself look old. Stress can take a toll on your face. Dark circles, wrinkles, under eye bags, and even hair loss are signs that stress is affecting your health.
Keep reading and learn the perfect anti-aging skincare routine below:
♥ Start your skincare routine with a gentle cleanser. Cleansing day and night is important in removing dirt, oil, and other unwanted debris. Daily cleansing removes these impurities and gives the skin a fresh look. Without washing, your skin will be covered with a thick layer of dirt, product build-up, and bacteria which make it difficult for other products to penetrate the skin properly.
Other Benefits:
♦ Regular cleansing is a must if you want to have a healthy and radiant looking skin.
♦ Cleansing helps anti-aging products and treatments work properly on the skin.
♦ Cleansing helps maintain proper pore size.
♦ Encourages proper skin hydration and prevents the production of excess oil.
♥ Don't forget your eyes. The area around the eyes is the first part of your face that shows visible signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. The skin here is much thinner, drier, and sensitive than other areas of the face. Since the area around the eye is more fragile, it is only proper to treat it gently. Don't forget to use an eye cream day and night to reduce the signs of aging.
♥ Use a toner. Toners are most helpful and necessary for people with oily or acne-prone skin. Toners are also necessary if you wear heavy makeup all day because it removes traces of dirt and grime that your regular cleansers can't remove.
Other Benefits:
♦ Toner shrinks pores.
♦ Restore skin's pH balance.
♦ It adds a layer of protection.
♦ Prevent ingrown hairs.
♦ It moisturizes and refreshes the skin.
♥ Exfoliate. Skin will slow down replenishing itself as we age. Meaning, your dead skin cells aren't replaced as quickly, as a result; your skin will look dull and uneven. Skin exfoliation is the best way to get rid of dead cells. Choose a gentle exfoliating product and as a much as possible avoid those that contain harsh ingredients.
♥ Don't forget your serums. In general, serums contain a higher concentration of active ingredients than a moisturizer. The best serums are those with retinol and vitamin C content. It increases collagen in your skin and acts as an antioxidant that soaks up biological and environmental oxidative stress that builds up and causes aging.
♥ Moisturize, moisturize, and moisturize! Applying moisturizer correctly brings many benefits. It boosts skin hydration, prevents flaking and dullness, and creates a protective layer of moisture that lasts all day. Proper application of your moisturizing cream will help anti-aging products work better on your skin.
♥ Never skip your sunscreen. The sun is responsible for the many signs of aging on your skin, and applying a sunscreen is one sure way to keep your skin looking as young as possible.
With the right products on your hand and the know-how on using them, you can address or combat your visible aging skin like a pro. Show your skin some TLC, start now! 🙂

20/21 July to Feature David Leslie Trophy & 50 Years of Formula Ford Celebration
Having confirmed last month that the July race meeting will feature the return of the British Superkart Championship to Knockhill, we're pleased to announce that it will also feature the prestigious David Leslie Trophy race for Formula Ford 1600.
The Trophy race – which will see formula ford drivers from across Scotland and further afield battling it out for honours – commemorates the life of one of Scotland's greatest drivers and racing mentors. David Leslie himself won the Scottish Formula Ford Champion in 1978 before progressing onto a successful career in international sportscars and British Touring Cars.
However, this year's event will be extra special as 2019 marks 50 years of Formula Ford in Scotland. The championship was first won by a certain Tom Walkinshaw in 1969 and has since been a proving ground for drivers such as Allan McNish, David Coulthard, Rory Butcher and Jonny Adam.
To mark the occasion, we will be pulling together a celebration of iconic Formula Ford cars from across the decades. The meeting will feature three races for Formula Ford including a grid walk before the David Leslie Trophy race on Sunday afternoon.
With British Superkarts, a triple header for all classes (barring the C1 Cup) and what is expected to be a bumper Formula Ford grid, the July race meeting is looking to be standout event not to be missed.
Stay tuned for more exciting announcements on this weekend.

Looking for the Fountain of Youth? We often look in the wrong places:
• Pharmaceutical companies are developing drugs they claim will make us live longer.
• Replacement hormones that promise longevity have become increasingly popular.
• Anti-aging cream and serums abound.
• Plastic surgery can make us look younger.
Moses had none of the above and died at the age of 120 in perfect health and with perfect eyesight. So what's up with that?
Our lifestyle choices play a significant part. Statistics show that those who eat right, exercise, and sleep well live longer than those who don't. For sure, those are things we should all do, but that's not the whole story.
And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. –Abraham Lincoln
I recently celebrated my 67th birthday. Honestly, I don't think of myself as being that old. I jokingly said to a group of people that I am now 39 years old for the 28th time. That caused me to start thinking about what the Bible has to say about longevity. Here's what I found:
Keys to a Long Life
Proverbs 14:30, A tranquil heart is life to the body...
Proverbs 3:13-16, How blessed is the man who finds wisdom and the man who gains understanding. For her profit is better than the profit of silver and her gain better than fine gold. She is more precious than jewels; and nothing you desire compares with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
Proverbs 10:27, The fear of the LORD prolongs life...
Proverbs 19:23 (Amp), The reverent, worshipful fear of the Lord leads to life, and he who has it rests satisfied; he cannot be visited with [actual] evil.
Proverbs 22:4 (Amp), The reward of humility and the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.
Proverbs 18:21 (Amp), Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].
Proverbs 13:3, The one who guards his mouth preserves his life...
Proverbs 10:11, The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life...
Psalm 34:12-14, Who is the man who desires life and loves length of days that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
Proverbs 4:10, Hear, My son, and accept My sayings and the years of your life will be many.
Proverbs 3:1-2, My son, do not forget My teaching, but let your heart keep My commandments; for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.
Proverbs 4:20-22, My son, give attention to My words; Incline your ear to My sayings. Do not let them depart from your sight; Keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them and health to all their body.
Proverbs 7:2, Keep My commandments and live...
Read Deuteronomy 28:1-14: The blessings of obedience.
Proverbs 28:16 (Amp), ...he who hates covetousness and unjust gain shall prolong his days.
Psalm 91:14-16 (Amp), Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name [has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never]. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.
Deuteronomy 30:19-20, I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.
Psalm 103:1, 5, Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name... Who satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle.
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. –C.S. Lewis

Chances are if you are like most people under 50, you haven't given much thought to preparing a will. However, regardless of the size of your estate, your marital status and your age, having a will in place makes good sense. We never know what life will send our way and ensuring your assets are distributed in accordance with your wishes after your death is important. Here are some of the things you should know about preparing a will:
- There is no one-size-fits all approach
- Having a will can minimize family tensions after your death
- A will allows you to control the distribution of your assets and property
Beware Template Wills Available At Low Cost
Remember the old saying that you get what you pay for? When your will is drawn up, there is a certain amount of customization that must be included. After all, your wishes and the wishes of your best friend are not the same, so chances are your wills will be slightly different. In addition, someone who is married and someone who is single will typically not have the same needs when preparing a will. My goal is simple: To ensure that your final wishes are documented properly so when you are gone, your family understands what your intentions were regarding your assets.
Protecting Your Loved Ones After Your Death
Regardless of what you have for assets including real estate, bank accounts or family heirlooms, your goal is to ensure the person you designate owns those assets after you have died. When you and I work together to prepare your will, we'll discuss what assets you have in your name alone and make sure we designate the person you want to control that asset after your death. When you have life insurance policies, retirement accounts or jointly held property, that property will go to the named beneficiary or the joint owner but typically, these are not the only assets you hold. Together, we'll make sure we have a plan in place to distribute those non-beneficiary or singly held assets according to your wishes.
Will preparation is important for a number of reasons but the primary reason is to ensure your property is distributed in accordance with your wishes. Without a will, anyone can claim ownership and a long, drawn out court battle could ensue over your property. You can avoid these types of problems today by contacting The Law Office of Anne Marie Sibal at (864) 416-1332 or by using my online contact form. Remember, we offer virtual services so your time is protected; we can do this from the comfort of your home.

We spent Thursday, January 25th, quite relaxed at The Secret House with slave drone Flo first, then Angelique and Argi joined us and together we livened up the club a bit in main chat but we also chatted in private. Time went by way too quick. We returned home when it was slave drone Flo's bedtime and when slave Bella just got inworld. And as Mistress Jenny had to leave as well I took slave Bella to club DeLust for a bit, before I brought her back into the cell at home, that she shares with slave kelly at the moment. These two slaves are quite different in many ways but they do fit together nonetheless, at least that's what Mistress Jenny and I think *winks*
Friday Night, Jan 26th, we had our regular Friday night party once again and as I missed the one before, I enjoyed it a lot again. It is always a great start into the weekend!

ST. LOUIS — A Missouri man has pleaded guilty to robbing five Illinois banks as part of a plea deal in which he won't be charged for a sixth robbery in Missouri.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that federal prosecutors said Tuesday that 30-year-old Dandre Brown, of Godfrey, Illinois, admitted to five counts of bank robbery and one charge of transporting a stolen vehicle across state lines.
Prosecutors say that from November 2017 through January, he stole nearly $37,000 by robbing banks in the Illinois towns of Alton, East Alton, Edwardsville, Wood River and Godfrey and one bank in the Missouri town of Florissant. He was identified after dropping a robbery note that still had fingerprints on it. U.S. Marshals took him into custody in Atlanta.
Sentencing is set for February.
