I know how you feel , I was totally depressed last night. But at the end of the day, we looked like a league one side. No threat , no concept of kicking the "round thing" towards to "large net thing"ReplyDelete
One thing to mention is people are moaning that we wil be in the playoffs again, well we might not even make the playoffs at this rate !
We played, fought and earned results in the early part of the season, we need to get back to that pretty sharpish.
but we seem to be in a very big rut.

I totally agree that the players have not performed over the last couple of months and seem to have lost their way. But I also feel that as well as asking his players to stand up and be counted, the Manager too should look in the mirror and ask himself the honest question, 'Have some of my decisions on loan players been detrimental to the team'. What must a young, fast, hungry, player on a contract be thinking, when he's sat on the bench and a 37 year old, has been midget, gets a start before him. Or how is a fully fit Marques feeling at the prospect of another defender being brought in. whilst he is continually ignored. Better still, love him or loath him, but is any true Leeds fan going to tell me that Kandol is not worth even a run on the bench. No I'm sorry, but I feel Grayson is starting to over think things, and as well as asking his players to get back to basics, he should start getting back to basics himself. Otherwise It won't be just the team who'll be remembered as a bunch of chokers, but the the Manager as well.ReplyDelete

We've had A LOT of rain here lately (record-breaking)! My kids know it's spring and are dying to be outside, but it's too cold so we've had to be creative with our afternoons to pass the time so we've pulled out a lot of games. I thought I'd share some of our favorites this week.
Introduce your children to an old classic: Twister! Not only is it fun, but it teaches some great concepts: left vs right and colors. We love playing this game!

Part 18
The Mustang's power failed to get John home fast enough. The flashing lights on his dashboard helped. Traffic parted and gave him a clear path down the road. Still, he didn't get there fast enough.
The powerful sports car screeched to halt on the sidewalk. Hall jumped from the squad car just as John made a mad dash to Evangeline's front door.
"I've been here the entire time," Hall said as he and John reached the porch. "I don't understand. What happened?"
"Someone broke in," John said. Then, the door opened and Evangeline was in his arms. He didn't know who moved first. All that mattered was holding her close and reassuring both of them that she was safe.
Still holding her tight, he guided her inside the house. He heard Hall follow them and close the door.
"Ms. Williamson, what happened? I didn't see anyone come in. I've checked the entire grounds more than once."
She slowly pulled away from John's embrace. He watched in admiration as she visibly pulled herself together. She graced the officer a faint smile. "It happened before we got here. I didn't notice it until after you went outside. Don't blame yourself. You've done a great job."
"Yes, ma'am." Hall looked at John. "What do you want me to do? I can radio for the crime scene unit."
"Go ahead and call them, but tell them to wait outside until they hear from me. You can wait for them out there, too."
"Yes, sir." The young officer quickly made his exit.
Evangeline touched John's arm. "Don't take it out on him. It's not his fault."
A cold knot formed in his stomach when he answered Evangeline's call. Stark terror filled her voice. Her fear reached out and terrified him. There he was miles away working on the Santi case and the woman he lo--cared about was shaking in fright. He didn't blame Edwin Hall for what happened, but he expected the officer to be thorough.
Instead of voicing his thoughts, he took her hand. "Show me."
Their fingers laced together automatically. Sensing her apprehension, John led the way into her bedroom. He glanced around the room and frowned. "Did you straighten up?"
"No, I left it alone." She headed to the bookshelf near the window. "See, that's why I said you shouldn't blame Officer Hall. I was here for hours before I noticed it. In fact, I wouldn't have if Keesha hadn't called--"
"Keesha? Keesha who?" John flipped out his notepad and jotted the name.
"Keesha Ward is my cousin." Evangeline waved her hand at his pad. "You can put that away. She's not a suspect. Keesha called about a necklace she wants to borrow. After we hung up, I came in here to get it and that's when I noticed that my books had been rearranged."
"Books? A necklace. I don't follow."
"I…um, I have a strange way of hiding my special pieces of jewelry. I hollow out old books and that's where I keep my grandmother's pearl necklace. Anyway, the books are out of order. I don't keep them in alphabetical order and now they are. That's how I knew. Someone's been here."
"Who else knows about your unique method?"
She frowned. "No one. I saw a special on a news program years ago. I never told a soul. I just did it."
He squatted in front of the shelf. His eyes scanned the rows of books. If he were a burglar, he'd never suspect her system. "Is anything missing?"
"I haven't really checked. I began frantic and searched for the pearls, which I found. Then, I called you. Just knowing that someone was here… I couldn't think straight." She rubbed his shoulder. "John, I'm sorry about that phone call. I lost it and I'm not usually that…um that unhinged--"
"Ssh." He stood and pressed his fingers against her soft, full lips. "You had every right to be upset. I'm sorry I wasn't here. I should have been. So no more apologies. I don't want to hear them." He glanced at his watch. "CSU should be here by now. I want to know if anything's missing, but I'd rather you didn't touch anything."
"They'll dust for prints and take pictures. Things could get a little messy. We don't have to stay here tonight if you don't want to."
Her angelic face hardened with determination. "I will not be driven from my home."
"Tough broad." He forced himself to smile.
"And proud of it." Her lips curved into an adorable gesture of pride. "After CSU finishes, you'll help me clean up."
"Oh, okay." He trailed a finger along her cheek. His voice lowered. "And then what?"
"Not so fast, Detective."
The doorbell rang. He caught her wrist as she moved to answer it.
"Are you sure you're not upset? You don't have to pretend." He forced flashes of Caitlin's tragic death from his mind. On the beaches of San Juan, he decided to put the past behind him. He couldn't save Caitlin, but he would be damned if he lost Evangeline.
"I'm not pretending." She gently cupped his cheek. "I was okay the moment you walked through that door. Let's get CSU in here so they can do their work."Back | Next

Desiree is black. She is a Negro. This is what will ultimately be the greatest source of pain. The color of her skin becomes her curse. When she is discovered by Monsieur and Madame Valmonde at the gateway of Valmonde asleep in the shadow of the big stone pillar, she is welcomed into a world where skin color does not matter. She is welcomed into a world full of love.
Buy Desiree's Baby essay paper online
She is lucky to find a mother who did not care about her origin and about what the color of her skin was. Madame Valmonde looked at her as a blessing. She believed that Desiree had been sent to her by a beneficent Providence, because of the fact that she had not been able to have her own child of the flesh. Desiree grew up to be beautiful, gentle and very sincere and Valmonde truly idolized her.
Armand Aubigny, her future lover and husband saw the beauty of Desiree and was struck by her fairness. He loved her with a great love. His passion for her knew no limit. When Monsieur Valmonde pointed out her origin, Armand did not care. He was deeply in love and that was the only thing that mattered to him. For Desiree, this was a wonderful and probably the happiest time too. She was getting married to an Aubigny.Want an expert to write a paper for you Talk to an operator now
After the marriage, the wonderful times continued for a little while. Desiree was the happiest then. She had a husband who loved her, a wonderful baby, servants at her beck and call and her mother was so glad to have a grandson. Her husband was so proud of the fact that he had a child to call his own. Desiree believed that it was the fact that it was a boy, but he would never admit to that.
Desiree loved Armand, she loved him so much. She even trembled every time that he frowned. When the child was about three months, she started feeling that something was amiss. She could not quite place her finger on it; it was much hidden at the beginning. She could feel it from the looks that she got from the blacks. She could sense something was wrong, since she could not explain what all these in-laws were coming to do at their house. Her husband grew cold at her. He could not speak to her without averting his eyes. It seemed that the love was gone.
She wished for death. She wished for relief from this life. She confronted her husband once and for all, asking him what he saw when he looked at their son. He said, "It means that the child is not white; that you are not white". With this, I believe, she could finally see that the visits from the relatives must have been to ask him to leave her since she was of a different race, of a lesser creed.
He asked to go, to leave, he no longer loved her. He looked at her and only saw an object that had brought unspeakable injury upon the name and home of the Aubignys. He no longer saw the object of all his love. She left the room they were in, hoping he would call her back, with tears in her eyes and great sorrow buried deep within her, she took her baby and walked away. She had no idea where she was going and she did not explain to anyone either.
In my opinion, the one reason that Armand no longer wanted her was because she was black. This is the reason she could no longer enjoy the love of a man who, on seeing her, had loved her so much. His relatives' racism also contributed to the fact that she could no longer be his wife. They probably told him that the fact he had a black wife would lower the status of the family in the community at L'Abri.
It is a pity that he never gave her the chance that his father had given his mother. He only realizes too late, that he too was of mixed race, just like his wife and child. They, however, had made a choice to love and care for him. This was a decision that he was ultimately not ready to take and this cost him the opportunity to rise above the spirit of racism.

The appearance of your teeth is heavily impacted by the position of the surrounding gum tissue. In a normal situation, two teeth that are side by side in your mouth have contact with each other. Below this contact, the area is filled in with gum tissue in the shape of a triangle. This triangular-shaped gum tissue is called the papilla. It is not uncommon to have an empty space in the area where the papilla is supposed to be. If this occurs, the result is perceived as a black space.
They are caused by a loss of the gum tissue itself or by the shape and/or position of the teeth. For any black space that is present, the first thing that needs to be done is to diagnose what caused it to occur. Once this is done, the restorative dentistry treatment choice can be made. The best decision will be the most conservative treatment that corrects the black space.
One of the most common causes of loss of gum tissue is due to the gum disease known as periodontitis. This gum disease acts on the supporting bone around the teeth, causing a loss of bone. This loss of bony support causes the papilla to slump and flatten, creating a black space between the teeth. The first step in treating the resulting black space in this situation is to treat the cause. Once the gum disease is under control, the black spaces can then be addressed with restorative dentistry.
To remove the black spaces, the teeth need to have restorations placed that will change the shape of the teeth and fill in this space. The type of restorative dentistry can vary depending on whether or not there are any other problems with the teeth. The simplest and most conservative restoration is composite, a tooth-colored filling material. It can be bonded directly on the tooth in the area of the black space. Since it is placed only in the affected area, the situation where this is used requires that the overall appearance of the tooth is acceptable and does not need to be changed.
If the overall appearance of the tooth needs to be altered, then a different type of restorative dentistry needs to be used. The choice is either a dental veneer or a dental crown. The choice between the two depends on both the appearance and the structural changes that need to be done. Usually, to correct a black space, both teeth on either side need to be restored. In doing this, the symmetry between the teeth will remain the same. If you restored just one tooth, you would end up with one tooth being wider than the other. The advantage of using restorative dentistry to correct black spaces is that it usually results in a shorter treatment time.
Another cause of the black space is due to the position of the teeth themselves. One example is teeth that are tilted towards each other. When this occurs, the area for your gum tissue to fill becomes too large for the amount of tissue you have. This same concept may occur with certain types of tooth shapes. In these instances, the restorative dentistry treatment of choice is to use orthodontics (braces) to align the teeth. The advantage of doing this is that the black space will disappear without having to do any restorations on the teeth.

Advanced dental techniques now provide consumers with exciting, new options for enhancing their smiles. Revolutionary methods are now available for teeth bleaching to make smiles sparkle!
Teeth bleaching or tooth whitening lightens the color of teeth whether darkened from age, coffee, tea or tobacco. Its brightening effects can last up to five years after the treatment depending on your personal habits.
Tooth bleaching has a higher than 90% success rate. It is tough on stains but gentle on your teeth! Results vary depending on whether or not your teeth are stained from smoking, from taking certain medications such as tetracycline during tooth development, or from fluorosis, a condition occurring when too much fluoride is used.
Teeth Bleaching will not lighten fillings or artificial materials used in dental repair such as dental crowns, porcelain veneers, etc. Your dentist may discourage treatment if you have sensitive teeth, periodontal disease, teeth with worn enamel or if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.
Some teeth bleaching treatments are performed in the dental office using an in-office tooth bleaching system, such as laser bleaching. This method lightens teeth instantly.
The same results may be obtained more economically through dentist-supervised, at-home teeth bleaching, but takes longer to achieve. Some tooth bleaching systems, which bleach your teeth while you sleep, work in 10 to 14 days (or more accurately nights)! Others bleach your teeth from two to four hours a day requiring three to six weeks to complete.
It's important to know that certain types of stains respond better to different types of teeth whitening materials. In such cases, your dentist may recommend one method over another.
Research over the last five years has proven tooth whitening products to be both safe and effective. The American Dental Association's seal of approval has been given to a wide range of teeth bleaching products. Generally, the only side effect from treatment may be some sensitivity to hot and cold foods. If this occurs, sensitivity normally disappears within 48 hours.

New drinks and growth abroad led to better than expected second quarter results from Starbucks.
Customers spent more at cafes in the U.S. and sales in China were stronger than expected leading to a quarterly profit of $663.2 million on revenues of $6.3 billion, reported CNBC (April 25).
"We are especially pleased with our comparable store sales growth in our two lead markets, the U.S. and China, where we are also continuing to drive strong new store development with industry-leading returns," said CEO Kevin Johnson.
The company reported same-store sales growth of 3%, beating Wall Street's estimates of 2.9%, which it attributes to a 3% increase in average ticket.
"While much of the beverage comp sales growth was driven by ticket, close to half of the ticket growth was from beverage mix and match, demonstrating that our higher margin premium offerings resonated with customers and customers bought more beverages per transaction," CFO Pat Grismer told analysts on a conference call.
Starbucks' wider drink innovation strategy is to focus more on cold drinks and less on limited-time offerings and Frappucinos in order to keep customers coming back regularly. One beverage that is part of this strategy is the Cloud Macchiato which was released in March, rolled out via a social media campaign involving posts from singer Ariana Grande. Johnson called the drink's launch "the second most viral Starbucks campaign ever."
Popular cold drinks and improved in-store experience led to the chain's best afternoon performance in three years. In the U.S., sales at stores open at least a year grew by 4%.
Additionally, changes to Starbucks' loyalty program led to an increase of 13% from a year earlier, totaling 16.8 million active members in the U.S. The company recently revamped the program, offering a wider range of redemption options for members.
Growth wasn't exclusive to the U.S., as the company added 319 stores worldwide during the second quarter, for a total of 30,184 locations in 78 markets, reported The Seattle Times (April 25). Almost 95% of new stores were outside of America.
In China alone, the company added nearly 600 stores in the last 12 months. Sales grew 3%, despite increased competition from Luckin Coffee, as well as a slowing economy. Store openings won't slow down in the second half of 2019 as the company plans to add 2,100 net new stores globally.
"This performance is especially noteworthy when you consider the intensity of competition from discounting in China, as well as our aggressive pace of new store development," Johnson said.
Starbucks added delivery to 2,100 of its stores in China through its partnership with Alibaba. It is planning to launch mobile order and pay in the country by the end of fiscal 2019. Starbucks Rewards reached 8.3 million active Chinese members, representing over 50% of its transactions in the country.

RCVS commits to improving mental health
13 May 2019
During Mental Health Awareness Week the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) has been recognised as an employer committed to supporting mental health.
RCVS Chief Executive Officer and Mind Matters Initiative Director Lizzie Lockett (pictured above) signed the Time to Change Employer Pledge today, the first day of the Awareness Week, thereby demonstrating the College's commitment to supporting mental wellness in the workplace and its strategy to improve mental health and wellbeing.
Time to Change is a social movement working to change the way society looks at mental health problems, improving attitudes and behaviour surrounding this. When employers sign the Time to Change Pledge they commit to addressing the stigma surrounding mental health in addition to making sure that employees facing mental health problems feel supported.
"With mental health-related issues disproportionately prevalent in the veterinary professions, the RCVS has already undertaken significant work to put support systems in place to look after the mental health and wellbeing of veterinary professionals," says Lizzie.
"However, in conjunction with Mind Matters' industry-wide interventions and awareness raising, we recognise that best practice needs to begin 'at home' in our London office and that we need to look after the mental health and wellbeing of our own staff. We are committed to meeting the same standards we recommend for the wider veterinary industry and, although we currently do a lot to achieve this aim, we are always looking to do more."
The RCVS has developed an action plan to lay the road map for future initiatives that will continue to address and improve mental wellness and awareness at the College. This plan has been accepted by Time to Change and the RCVS is now looking forward to putting the plan into motion, with the ongoing support from Time to Change throughout the first year of this process.
The action plan includes initiatives such as bolstering the RCVS Wellbeing Group, comprising a wide variety of employees from across the organisation, by creating Time to Change Workplace Champions to further promote workplace mental wellness. These champions will be proactively recruited from across diverse groups, and, like all RCVS staff, will be able to attend Mental Health Awareness training and will receive support in their role as champions from the College's Mind Matters Manager.
Alongside this work, the College will also continue to run its &me campaign, a joint anti-stigma campaign run in partnership with Doctors' Support Network, which encourages senior professionals from the veterinary and medical professions to share their personal experiences of mental health problems. Sharing these stories can be a powerful tool in fighting stigma across both the professions and within the College, and encourages employees, who feel able and willing, to share their own story as part of this campaign.
The RCVS has also previously been recognised by Great Place to Work as a Centre of Excellence in Wellbeing and, to ensure the capturing of data around stigma and attitudes towards mental health, the RCVS will be adding more mental health-related questions to their annual staff engagement survey. This will inform the ongoing development of the action plan and feed into the creation of further support initiatives.
"We're delighted to see the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons take the Time to Change Employers Pledge. By signing the pledge and introducing questions specifically related to mental health stigma in their employee engagement survey, implementing workplace interventions developed as part of RCVS' Mind Matters initiative and participating in a number of national campaigns and events, the RCVS is demonstrating a real commitment to changing the way we all think and act about mental health in the workplace," says Jo Loughran, Director of Time to Change.
"We know it can be hard to talk about mental health, which is why we work with employers to encourage staff at all levels to open up, to talk and to listen. Too many people with mental health problems are made to feel isolated, ashamed and worthless, but with the right support, those of us with mental health problems can recover and have equal opportunities in all areas of life. Everyone's attitude makes a difference and it's fantastic to see organisations like the RCVS taking the lead."

Garden State Fondo RIDES
The Garden State Fondo offers a choice of route lengths and timed hill segments that wind their way through some of New Jersey's best cycling roads. Starting and ending in historic Morristown, NJ this combination of bike touring and timed climbs attracts a wide range of cyclists from the casual weekend rider to the well-trained endurance athlete.
Garden State Fondo offers six routes of varying distances, from the extremely challenging Estremo Fondo down to the relatively relaxed Breve Fondo.
• Estremo 125 miles – A new challenge this year!
• Gran Fondo 107 miles – The Original endurance challenge. What makes it different than the Estremo is that while it is a challenging route it is still accessible to riders at many levels.
• Migrane Fondo 75 miles - Ideally suited to those who want a big challenge but are not quite ready for a full-blown 107 or 125 mile ride
• Medio Fondo 62 miles - The Medio Fondo route was selected by the editors of Bicycling Magazine as one of "The 50 Best Rides in America."
• Piccolo Fondo 42 miles – Offers the everything which cyclists love about the Gran Fondo experience including the Mass Start, a timed hill climb and lavish rest stop, but on a smaller scale.
• Breve Fondo 18 miles - Specifically tailored to those who want the Gran Fondo experience but are not quite ready for the longer distances and bigger climbs of the other routes
A Gran Fondo is to cyclists what a Marathon is to runners. For years "weekend warrior" cyclists have been looking for a competitive, challenging event. The "Gran Fondo" which originated in Italy addresses this void. In recent years, Gran Fondos have become the most popular mass-participation cycling events for cycling enthusiasts in North America.

Eyes are the complex body part and the most important part of all life creatures. Without eyes, someone can't see anything and can't enjoy the other God's creatures. Same as people eyes also important thing for cat to look around it. When the eye of cat attacked by diseases, we must be careful when heal it. That because eyes are complex and sensitive thing in all creatures. Basically there are many diseases which attacked the cat. It is attacked all of body part of cat, from head to tail.
There are many factors that caused the disease like virus and bacteria. One of all the diseases is eye disease. The symptom of a disease also different between one caused and other for example the diseases which caused by bacteria can make the cat's eyes watery and inflammation. As we know basically the benefit of giving eye drops to cat is to avoiding the cat from eye diseases and also as a supplement to its eyes. In this chance, we will explain to you other 2 benefit of giving eye drops to cat.
1. As healing method
The main benefit of eye drops for cat obviously as medicine to cure the eye disease on cat. There are many cat eye diseases which is needed to cure as soon as possible like watery eye caused by bacteria, allergy, or virus. The eye diseases also caused by injury. The injury is probably happened especially to cat which is so active and likes to go outside home. For bacteria and allergy's case, eye drop helps to clean up the eye from something which triggered the disease. It also gives cooling effect especially to inflammation symptom which generally appeared as effect by allergy. The bacteria or dust which is placed so long in the end of eye's cat can transform into black crust. This black crust covering the eye and makes itchy feeling for the cat. Cat will try to scratch it and when it scratched, the sharp nails of cat can hurt its eyes.
The wound caused by scratch will get worst when it isn't heals as soon as possible. You can give the eye drops for your cat to heal the inflammation and wound. Keep in your mind to don't give human eye drops liquid to your cat. That's because the ingredients which contained in human eye drops liquid is not formulated to the cat. There is one case when the owner gives the human eye drops to his cat. The cat became more infection and getting worst. Maybe he things that the structure body of mammal are all same and try to give human medicine to animals which is totally wrong. The impact over animal and human is also totally different and moreover it is danger to animal to consume person's medicine. Here are the ways to give eye drops to your cat:
- Firstly, take away your infection cat into other cage. This step to avoiding the transmission of the diseases to infect other cat. The eye diseases can transmitted easily because when the cat contact each other, the face especially nose and eye is really near. When two cat interaction each other, the transmission of diseases will increase because the gap between them is really near. As prevent step, you better take it away into other cage.
- Secondly, you can start to apply the eye drop to your cat. Keep remind that you must clean your hands firstly and if you needed use the gloves and mask to protect you from bacteria or virus transmission. When you start to drop the liquid, hang your cat with hug it in its body and feet. You can hang your cat strongly when your cat is started to fight you. But don't forget to treat it well and softly to avoid it from stress feels. You can start hang it with sit down in sofa or chair. Hang your cat with your hand. You better hang it by using your non-dominant hand. For example if you using right hand, use your left hand to hang your cat. It is purposed to make you easy when you drop the liquid to your cat's eye. You can pack your cat using a towel to avoiding it to claw you. Pack your cat all of its body until leaving head. After that, point the cat's face to top and drop the liquid. Open up the eye of cat straight into the top using by your finger. Pull the corner of eye cat to make it open and drop the liquid quickly. You need to do it quickly when you feel your cat is under your control and the cat is opened perfectly to make the liquid dropped appropriate on its eyes.
- Thirdly, after you give the liquid eye drop to your cat, calm your cat softly when you wait the eye drop works perfectly. Cat usually try to swipe its eyes after something get inside to its eyes. You must stay to hang your cat to don't erase the liquid. To move its attention, you can give it some dry food to your cat to make it calm. Some cats need to gives eye drops a view times a day, so it is important to you to share it clearly during the time to eye drops giving.
2. As a supplement
There are so many shape of supplement which sale in trade like injection, tablets, and etc. As other alternative, eye drops for cat also used as supplement to keep your eye's cat healthy. The supplement is some medicine which purposed to preventive action to avoiding the cat from some diseases. The eye drops contained some chemistry which gave good impact to cat eyes healthy. Cat which is good condition will increase both of height and weight, active, and energetic. You are not waiting for your cat is sick to use it. You can give the eye drop for your cat regularly as suit as necessary. For you information, supplement for eye cat is not always made from chemistry or chemical things. Nowadays, some people started to use herbal methods to keep their healthy. The medical of herbal claims for cheaper cost and easy to find with small impact to the body during as heals process.
People are usually using betel leaf to make self-supplement to cat. Some vaccine also known as eyes drop liquid. Giving the eye drops as vaccine and medicine is totally different. You can drops the medicine liquid during the disease is appeared. Stop the giving when the symptom is not appeared anymore. But when you give the eye drops to your cat as vaccine, you can give it once or twice a year or as your vet instruction. You need to consultation it with your vet firstly before give a vaccine to your cat. That's because the vet needed to look the condition over the cat to find the appropriate vaccine as suit as your cat.

Promote and educate the 'traditional' equestrian industry about the little known Isabela Double Pearl gene and its ability to produce gold coloured horses.
Following an unsuccessful and rather boring PR campaign, we quickly discovered that print journalists and 'traditional' horse people didn't believe that Pearl of Peace was gold or could produce gold coloured offspring.
The idea to create an effective social media campaign to educate and raise awareness of the rare pearl gene to the general public and bypass old-school media was started in 2012. The campaign needed to be fun and engaging with lots of interaction with followers. A loveable persona was created for the genetically rare horse which is maintained through daily posts on his Facebook page including pictures, caption contests and questions to encourage engagement with followers. Targeted advertising has been successfully employed to reach users with similar interests. Infographics are utilised to promote other horses within the Equus Vita breeding network. Plus a Youtube channel was created allowing dedicated fans to enjoy videos of Pearl of Peace and his friends.
The social networking campaign has achieved substantial success and the Facebook page now has over 536,000 followers*. From the Facebook page Pearl of Peace educates followers on his genetics, breeding and other news from his stable buddies. Images are Liked, Shared and Commented on hundreds of times. Awareness of the unique golden horse and the rare pearl gene has risen tremendously on a global scale with thousands of dedicated fans located in the UK, USA, Spain and Australia.
In 2017 promotions have focused on Pearl of Peace as a breeding stallion, and this has seen his frozen semen shipped across Europe and to the USA and Australia, followed by successful births in Spring 2018!

I am sooo happy that it is finally Friday!! This week has been extra long and I am so looking forward to the weekend! I have been trying to stay away from black and gray lately, or at least mix it up a bit. I tend to wear a lot of those colors lately, so I wanted to break it up and add a bit of pink. How do you wear lighter colors in the fall/winter? I wanted to just keep the color palette pretty simple and classy. Hope you all have such a gorgeous weekend. Do you have any exciting plans or anything going on?
Also, I am still collecting school supplies for a drive, so if you would like to donate, please let me know!! Anything would help and mean a lot to myself and the kids that will receive it!

Leh, Nov 18: A glaciated road has been carved out and developed as a motorable road by Border Roads Organization in Leh at an altitude of 17000 feet.
It will be the world's first ever motorable pavement that will pass through in eastern Ladakh.
The road is being constructed under Project Himank at an altitude of over 17800 feet from Sasoma to Saser La.
Officials said it will be a vital link paved over unstable glaciers which frequently change their physical nature.
BRO officials said the construction of the road is special due to challenges posed by glaciers and presence of moraines in the area.
Besides adverse weather, biting cold, bone chilling winds, there is always lurking danger of crevasses and avalanches while the road is being constructed, they said.
"Since the temperature dips to -50 C during winter and in the peak summers the temperature hovers around 12 C in the region, working in such extreme weather is a herculean task and glaciers which shift constantly as snow melts adds to the difficulty.
As the working period is quite short and the Border Road Officials make prior preparations and chalk out a working strategy to achieve its targets in the limited time available," they said.
Planning of work starts four to five months prior to the start of the working season for effective management of men and machinery.
Project officials said the meticulous planning and hard work of BRO officers and men has been extremely essential for successful completion of the tasks to achieve targets in a working season.
Due to better equipment, resources, training and medical facilities which are in place for the BRO personnel working in the hostile high altitude areas the construction of such roads is possible, the officials said.

Highlights and Trends in the Deep & Dark Web
This is an annual research report that looks to uncover the growing complexity of illicit communities and the industrialization of cybercrime over the past year. In the report, Flashpoint's researchers highlight prolific trends that pose the greatest risk to organizations and their critical assets.
Malicious actors regularly congregate in the Deep & Dark Web to plan, execute, and profit from a range of illicit activity – from hacking, financial fraud, and intellectual property theft to terrorism and other violent acts. Intelligence about this activity can help organizations prepare for the latest threats before they surface. Flashpoint specializes in monitoring these largely inaccessible regions of the Deep & Dark Web, offering expansive visibility into the darkest corners of the Internet.

During our sessions in Oxford, Pastor Earl Palmer noted that many people today have lost the sense of wonder in reading books. Our culture prizes "criticism" and opinion and often asks that we come to an author's work prepared to "take it apart." Palmer suggested that Lewis also shared this concern and expressed it in his book Experiment in Criticism.
For Lewis, there is no such thing as a good book, only good reading:
"The necessary condition of all good reading is to 'get ourselves out of the way'; we do not help the young to do this by forcing them to keep on expressing opinions. Especially poisonous is the kind of teaching which encourages them to approach every literary work with suspicion. It springs from a very reasonable motive. In a world full of sophistry and propaganda, we want to protect the rising generation from being deceived, to forearm them against the invitations to false sentiment and muddled thinking which printed words will so often offer them. Unfortunately, the very same habit which makes them impervious to the bad writing may make them impervious also to the good. … No poem will give the secret to a reader who enters it regarding the poet as a potential deceiver, and determined not to be taken in. We must risk being taken in, if we are to get anything" (Experiment in Criticism, p. 94).
Pastor Palmer read this section from Lewis in our session together, and I was more than a little surprised when he said that Lewis' comment particularly applied to the reading of the Bible. How could that be? He went on to suggest that in the church, and perhaps the Christian university in particular, we teach people to approach the Bible not as something to be read and experienced but as something to be dissected. Interesting! He did not mean this as an indictment but as helpful advice. I think he is right that we often teach the Bible as a book we have to approach critically: Who wrote this letter? When was it written? What were the social and economic conditions of the time? Certainly such questions are not inherently bad and lead to a greater understanding of the text as a whole. But if our goal in the church and the Christian university is to develop young men and women who experience God's presence in the stories of his interaction with people in the biblical text, then I believe Pastor Palmer and Lewis are correct.
As evangelicals, we often castigate the Pharisees at the time of Jesus for their inability to appropriately "hear" the words of Jesus. Pastor Palmer reminded us that the Pharisee sect actually began prior to Jesus as a group that wanted to emphasize the written text of God's word; they became the guardians of the Word of God. Yet, by the time Jesus had arrived they had already constructed "fences" around the Word. They had become the defenders of God through adherence to rules and regulations. Thus, when Jesus addressed them they had a very difficult time getting themselves out of the way in order to hear the words of God. In Matthew 9, the Pharisees accuse Jesus of eating with sinners. Jesus responds to them by asking them to discover what this phrase means: "I desire mercy, not sacrifice." Jesus pointed them to the heart of the argument – the rules are written to draw one to the heart of the matter, not the other way around.
In order for our students and churchgoers to enter into the story of the Bible they must, as Lewis says, "risk being taken in." We have to "get ourselves out of the way" in order to hear and experience what God is saying. (Lewis later notes that it is not that we never approach the text in an evaluative manner, but he argues that it must be received and experienced first.)
When I was a student at Grand Canyon University some 33 years ago now, I had a wonderful Bible professor named D.C. Martin. (Dr. Martin later married Ruth and me). I took five biblical courses, mostly Old Testament, from Dr. Martin. The courses were very difficult, but they were also beautiful. Dr. Martin began class each day reading a text to us from the Psalms or the minor prophets. He had a deep resonate voice and an imposing presence. He encouraged us to enter into the text for the day and to "hear" the story. He certainly provided evaluative comments on the text, but for the most part he taught us to enter into and to love the story of God's engagement with people through each biblical text. He taught me to be a good reader, in Lewis' terms – to come to the Bible each day and risk being taken in by the love story of God and his people. For that gift I will be forever grateful to D.C. Martin, and it is one of my deepest commitments that we make students "good readers" of the biblical text.

Timaru's Prime Port will not have to lay off as many workers as originally planned following news Mediterranean Shipping Lines will use the port.
Forty-two full time jobs were due to be cut at the end of the month after two shipping companies, Maersk Shipping and Hamburg Sud, said they would no longer visit the port.
Thursday's announcement means 19 jobs will now be cut, with 23 workers staying on to work at the port.
Port chief executive Jeremy Boys is hopeful the faith Mediterranean Shipping has shown in the port will eventually lead to others doing the same in future.
Mr Boys says a huge volume of cargo is produced in the region "...typically growing at up to 6% a year in terms of actual volume, so we would like to think that this is only a start of more opportunities to come".
He says the decision also means a further 30 casual workers will have more opportunities for work.

MCD earns carbon credits worth Rs 5L
June 5, 2010 Leave a comment
NEW DELHI: Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has earned carbon credits worth Rs 5 lakh against net carbon emission reduction (CER) achieved by making Okhla compost plan functional. This makes MCD the first civic agency in the country that has earned carbon credits.
An MCD official said, ''The CERs achieved from the Okhla composting plant — as part of the clean development mechanism (CDM) project — would be the first for any municipal solid waste management project in the country and also the first for any municipal solid waste composting project in the world.
The plant has been revived in public private partnership (PPP) between MCD and IL&FS wherein an agreement was signed to rehabilitate and upgrade the Okhla compost plant in May 2007 with carbon finance support. A total of 200 MT of waste would be processed in Okhla.''
According to civic agency, 5127 CERs have been reported by IL&FS in its monitoring report and as per the concession agreement with MCD, 25% of the net CER earning (for the first 5 years) has to be shared with MCD.
Said an MCD official, ''Waste processing projects avoid methane emissions caused due to anaerobic decomposition of municipal solid waste at a landfill site. Moreover, methane is a green house gas with high global warming potential and the Okhla composting plant is therefore eligible as a CDM project activity.''
This annual process of monitoring and verification would continue for every year of plant operation wherein the annual performance would be monitored and credits would be issued in accordance with the performance of the plant in that year. ''We hope to earn more carbon credits in years to come,'' said the official.

RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA—Yemen's Shiite rebels attacked Saudi border posts, sparking fierce fighting overnight that killed three Saudi troops and dozens of rebels, the kingdom said.
Saudi-led airstrikes continued to bomb rebel positions inside Yemen on Friday, including a strike in the capital, Sanaa, that killed at least 20 civilians.
The attack late Thursday by the Houthi rebels was the most dramatic border incident since Saudi Arabia launched an intense campaign of airstrikes against the rebels just over a month ago. It also brought to 11 the number of Saudi soldiers killed in border skirmishes during the air campaign.
The assault underscored how the Iran-backed Houthis are still capable of launching major operations despite the airstrikes that have relentlessly targeted their positions and those of their allies — military units loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The Saudi-led offensive, which started March 26, aims to diminish the military capabilities of the Houthis, who have overrun Sanaa and are advancing deep into the country's south.
The UN says at least 550 civilians have been killed in the war.
Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who fled the country in March, is now based in the Saudi capital of Riyadh, along with most of his government. There have been recent calls by officials in exile for a Saudi-led ground invasion to restore Hadi's government to power.
Also Friday, the UN Security Council held an emergency meeting on Yemen, following warnings by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon who said basic services in the impoverished Arab country are "on the brink of collapse." Ban also called for an immediate ceasefire, or at least humanitarian pauses to help the desperate civilians.
The meeting, however, ended with the 15 Security Council members unable to agree on an immediate statement on the growing crisis.
On Friday, the Saudi-led coalition continued to pound rebel positions. One airstrike targeted a house of a top Houthi rebel commander in Sanaa's Saawan district, demolishing at least six houses and killing at least 20 civilians, including 10 women and children, officials and witnesses told an Associated Press reporter at the scene.
In the southern port city of Aden — Hadi's base before he fled to Riyadh— and in the city of Taiz, warplanes bombed positions of the Houthis and Saleh's forces killing scores of fighters, according to security officials. At least 12 people were killed because of ground fighting in Aden on Friday, according to medical officials.
In the border attack, Houthi fighters in tanks and armoured vehicles struck "border posts and control points" in the southern Saudi region of Najran on Thursday night, the kingdom's Defence Ministry said.
Saudi forces, backed by fighter jets, repelled the attack and "dozens of the militiamen were killed. Three soldiers of the ground troops were martyred," according to the statement, which did not clarify how far across the border the attackers came.

Sexy Madeline Zima Topless & Nipples Video Exposedgot super funny and started doing her own thing on Cali-fornication. Like, I'll be honest, I'm not 100% invested in her face. Feeling very much like it's not so great. But it's not about her face, it's about her body. This chick sprung up like a weed and has tits like you wouldn't even believe.
Hot Sex Scene Video of Madeline Zima Flaunting Perfect Bikini BodyShe was once so young and innocent, playing one of the children for Nanny Fine, but now she's got herself all sexed up for the world to see. I mentioned her tits. Truly, her body is an anomaly. Long neck, huge tits, super long, thin torso, and then a great ass? She's like a damn painting. Ass of Madeline Zima is Phat & Sexy I'm not sure why I never noticed her before but, comedian and smoking hot body? I'll give her a break about the face because of those two things, for sure.
Got to love these list of celebrities asses on big screens, their beautiful bikini body's. Perky boobs with nipples that you just want to suck on. Nowadays we can see their nipple slips, celebrity hacked pics including their pussy and tits. Or appearing topless on the red carpet.

well this is the feedback of that event as posted on Magicweek as I couldn't attend, but thought you too may be interested in how it went.
Wow! This year's Blackpool Convention was really special.
There were just so many talented magicians, in all departments, that many convention goers were rating it as the best Blackpool Convention ever. Highlights for me included the Saturday night $10,000 Intercontinental Stage Magic Championships, which featured outstanding performances from Kyoko (chic and charismatic), Dirk Losander (superb technique), Marc Oberon (stunning UV concepts), and eventual winner Han Seol-Hee whose speed, skill, dexterity and magical showmanship took CD manips to new heights. He possessed fantastic control, captivated the entire audience and was rewarded with a standing ovation and the first prize of $10,000.
In Sunday's International Gala Show Jerome Murat's magical Living Statue act, Tony Chapek's playful interactive television routine and Jeff McBride's superb Miser's Dream, Water Bowls and Card work, totally did it for me... and that was just in the first half!
Korea's An Ha-Lim (cards) and France's Tony Frebourg (diabolos) respectively took the art of card manipulation, and the skills of the diaboloist on to a whole new level. It was a brilliant gala show.
125 magic dealers from all over the world exhibited!
An added pleasure this year was seeing David Blaine, taking some time out from a busy schedule to enjoy the convention too. Despite being virtually mobbed on occasion by groups of camera-wielding magicians he took it all with humour and in his stride. David Blaine gave magic a much needed kick-start into the 21st Century some ten years ago, and 'street magic' (as we now know it) was born.
So it sounds like I missed yet another wonderful event, I do so much miss the Magic scene, but I dont think I will return - just dabble now and then and watch with admiration.

Facebook has hired former Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg to lead their Global Affairs and Communications team.
He is due to start the job on Monday, with his family moving to Silicon Valley, California in the new year.
The former Liberal Democrat leader lost his Sheffield Hallam seat in last year's General Election, after leading the party from 2007 to 2015.
Mr Clegg will replace Elliot Schrage who left the social media company in June.
The former Deputy Prime Minister wrote on Facebook: "I am delighted to be joining Facebook. After almost twenty years in European and British politics, this is an exciting new adventure for me.
"Having spoken at length to Mark and Sheryl over the last few months, I have been struck by their recognition that the company is on a journey which brings new responsibilities not only to the users of Facebook's apps but to society at large. I hope I will be able to play a role in helping to navigate that journey."
He added: "Throughout my public life I have relished grappling with difficult and controversial issues and seeking to communicate them to others. I hope to use some of those skills in my new role.
"As someone who has spent a lifetime arguing for Britain's wholehearted commitment to Europe, it is of course a wrench to be leaving the public debate at a crucial time in the Brexit process. But the key decisions will soon pass to Parliament, of which I am no longer a Member, and once I had decided to take up this unique new challenge at Facebook, I felt it was best to get going sooner rather than later."
Increase transparency around political advertising
Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg
This comes after Facebook faced criticism from data protection watchdogs after it admitted that up to 50 million users were exposed to ID fraud last month.
Facebook is introducing tools it says will increase transparency around political advertising on the platform in the UK.
The social media network announced a new authorisation scheme to approve organisations before they can run political adverts on the site.
It is also extending its Ad Library to include the UK, which will show all adverts currently being run by a page or organisation on Facebook and Instagram for up to seven years.
The company said the new tools are part of a commitment it made during appearances before the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport earlier this year to offer more transparency around political advertising.
It comes after the platform was scrutinised for its policies towards advertising as questions had been raised over the use of online ads, particularly around the last US presidential election and the EU referendum in the UK.
The Ad Library will enable anyone - whether or not they use Facebook - to search for and access the political advertising history or any Facebook or Instagram page or by search term.

Odds are, you've probably never actually been a WW2 fighter pilot. If you were, then congratulations for surviving it; from all reports it was a highly risky occupation. If not, then playing Tally Ho is the closest you can come to the experience while playing a slot machine at an online casino. Okay, so maybe it's still not really that close, but you can go for glory flying the unfriendly skies while also potentially winning enough cash for some pilot's lessons.
As you've already guessed, Tally Ho has a fighter pilot theme. The symbols are things like enemy planes, navigational maps and, inexplicably, women who look like stewardesses. I'm not sure many WW2 aircraft had beverage service, but what do I know? You'll also be hoping to see a few Pilot symbols, which are wild in this game. Roundels (those round, target-looking things) are the scatter symbols and if you find three or more of them, you're cashing in with a bonus game.
The feature in Tally Ho isn't complicated, but it is enriching. You'll receive 25 free spins, which is awesome enough. But to make it even better, all prizes are tripled during the bonus spins, and the feature can be re-triggered! This game also features a random, progressive jackpot that will make you happy enough to fly some loop-de-loops if you hit it.
Tally Ho also has all the usual bells and whistles that let you decide on your own gaming experience. You can play from 1 to 20 lines at anywhere from a nickel to $50 per line. It also has a customizable Autoplay function and Turbo Play that lets you play at your own speed.
Check out all the specific details on the Tally Ho game page. Or if you're ready to take to the air and try your luck, then find it under Slots > Real Series Video Slots > Tally Ho in our game menu. If you don't already have our casino software, download it now for free!

Cooker Clock Not Working
Family meal times - a great time for everyone to sit and talk, tell each other about their day and what they have planned. For busy families this could be a sacred moment of the day or even the week, spending time together amongst everyone's busy schedules.
So picture the horror and disappointment in the kitchen when you go to pre-heat your oven, only to find that it's dead!
If this has spoiled your evening then fear not, as the cause may be a simple issue to fix. If it is the oven clock that is faulty, we can help you to diagnose this and also advise on how it can be fixed.
Cause 1
Clock Not Set
Recently been plunged into darkness? It's bad enough having to change the time on your oven clock twice a year, but if you've had a power cut it will probably need setting again.
A clock that's not set can cause your whole oven to stop working - crazy, but true. This is a very easy fix though, so it's the first thing to check if you're having oven problems.
Just dig out your manual or download a PDF version of it right here on our site to find out how to set the time on your make and model of oven.
With our help, you will hopefully soon be back to being able to create your delicious meals again!
Cause 2
Terminal Block
Another part that can cause an oven to breakdown is the terminal block. The symptoms that suggest an issue with the terminal block include:
- A clock that's not displaying.
- Areas of the cooker that aren't working.
If the terminal block is to blame, you'll find your culprit at the back of the appliance where there may be a number of circuits connected by links from the main power connection.
Safety First! Please make sure that you have disconnected the appliance from the mains before beginning any repair.
- If any link or connector is loose it can result in heat and damage.
- Look for signs of charring or loose connections.
If you do find damage there is no need for you to panic about it, as eSpares could soon help you get the problem sorted.
If you require a replacement, see our range of oven spares where we have an excellent selection of terminal blocks
Once you have the correct part for your appliance, see our video guide so you can be on your way to fixing this yourself.
Cause 3
If your cooker appears to be dead, then the fault could lie with the clock. An oven timer which does not work can halt the oven operation, but a few checks could have it working again to allow your oven to be ready to roast that tasty joint and kick-start your family meal again.
Ensure that power is running to your appliance - this can be identified by the oven display.
If there is no power:
- Check the wall switch, if there is an indicator light see if it is on - this will indicate that power is available to the appliance.
- If the light is off, this means there is no power, if this is the case check your fuse box or trips - if a power cut has affected the fuse box check the fuse, on the trips you'll notice a switch has "tripped" if this is the case carefully flip the switch back to the "on" position.
Sometimes following a power cut the clock will reset itself, this can be identified from the display flashing. Some functions may still work and it is ideal to try switching on the grill - the grill should still function but the main oven will not.
To all intents and purposes, your oven will appear dead but the timer will still be running. A simple case of resetting the clock could fix the problem.
Just dig out your manual (or download a PDF version of it right here on our site) to find out how to set the time on your make and model.
If this fails to restore your oven the fault could be with the actual clock and require replacing. For a replacement oven clock, take a look through our extensive range of spares.
Safety First! Please make sure that you've switched off your appliance and disconnected it from the mains before beginning any repair.
See below our simple to follow guide on how to replace a faulty oven clock with a new one.

A trend I've noticed cropping up in breweries and brewpubs is combining yoga with beer. Yogis come to a brewery or brewpub to take a class with a local yoga instructor, then have a pint at the bar. Featuring an assortment of fun names, including "Bends and Brews" and "Detox and Retox," the classes offer a unique way to enjoy craft beer.
I have actually been into yoga longer than beer. I started practicing when I was 18. While my regular practice is off-and-on, I always feel better when I take time to stretch, relax, and reflect. I've always wanted to attend a beer and yoga class, and finally did so this past month, at the newly-opened Sehkraft Brewing in Arlington.
Sehkraft Brewing hosts a Detox + Retox class on the first Monday of each month. I spoke with the class' instructor, Erin Sonn, about the unlikely marriage of yoga and beer. Erin has practiced yoga for eight years, enjoyed craft beer for seventeen years, and married them both two years ago as a student. She started leading classes at breweries just this past January.
Erin sees beer as a means of "enticing" people to yoga. By attending the classes (which, depending on the brewery, usually include a pint of beer with the class' fee), new practitioners can "be present on the mat, appreciate the benefit of the practice, and get into the practice through their love of beer."
Yoga's many benefits include a healthy feeling that comes from tight muscles being relaxed and the body "detoxing" through sweating and stretching it out. As such, one may wonder why "retoxing" with a beer afterward would lend itself to the practice. Erin sees the connection as a social benefit. She describes meeting afterward to share a beer and conversation as "taking yoga off the mat" and into a community space. It's a community she describes as "kind and compassionate and grateful" — all qualities that make people feel good, even as they're "retoxing" with a couple of beers.
I attended Erin's class at Sehkraft on Monday, February 1st. The class was sold out, and there were an assortment of beer and yoga fans there, both men and women. The class took place in front of their concert stage, with Erin on the stage. It was a bit of a tight squeeze, but everyone was in a good mood and space was accommodated when there were stretches or poses that placed, say, my foot overtop my neighbor's mat.
The class featured a vinyasa flow, focusing on sun salutations and balance poses. The class is suitable for all levels, with beginning poses as the base point and Erin showing variations for intermediate and expert levels. By the end of the hour, my skin was warm and my muscles were stretched. It felt really good resting in shavasana and being surrounded by similarly happy folks.
There was a bit of a dichotomy between the scene near the stage and the bar immediately next to us. We were not the only patrons, as customers who weren't taking part in the detox half of the night were still being served. The customers were (pretty) quiet, though, and didn't disturb the class, which was a nice gesture on their part. The only noticeable disturbance — which I actually found funny as opposed to annoying — was that the bar's music was still playing, so we'd get some classic rock infused with the yoga music playing on our side of the bar. This resulted in a very happy moment where, as we finished our practice, "Stairway to Heaven" started playing. Yoga magic in my mind.
After the class, we walked over to the bar and found a drink I was absolutely craving — water. I was all about the retox to come, but after doing intermediate yoga for an hour, the water was just as much a candidate for five stars on Untappd as any beer. As I sipped (okay, chugged) my water, I ordered my complimentary beer — Dark Hours, a barrel-aged imperial stout from Lost Rhino Brewing Co. Hey, if I'm retoxing, then go big or go home, right?
As I sipped my beer and chatted with Erin, her husband Andy, and other participants, I very much got the sense of community that Erin described in our conversation before the class. Beer is often referred to as a social lubricant, and given how my shyness melts after a couple of pints, I can attest to this. However, the calm and peace I feel after a yoga session gives me that same confidence — and is a lot healthier for me at that. Gathering for a pint was a good excuse to gather, but "taking the yoga off the mat" made the experience all the richer for me, as I was already feeling happier and more confident. This was a pleasant feeling that contributed to me sticking around for awhile (and buying another beer, which I'm sure made the bar happy).
As we spoke afterward about yoga, beer, and our lives, Erin said to me, "Yoga is my therapy. It teaches me patience. It teaches me how to detach." All of this is certainly true in my practice, and I'm happy that yoga is finding ways to reach myself and others — even at a brewpub. I immediately signed up for the March 7th class when I got home (hope to see you there, Arlington locals), and look forward to making this a regular practice.
One final note: if you attend a similar class where a pint of beer is offered with your class fee, please be mindful of bringing some extra cash to tip the bartender!

This one didn't go quite to the rules as it was inspired by an odd conversation with a client about waking each other up sending '4am emails' and a random joke about that sounding like an album title. So my brain said, 4am emails does sound like an album title...artist can be the clients name...look out flickr random search here I come!
So I give you Suni Khan's '4am Emails', a never to be released experimental acoustic trip hop album.
Best ideas are often the weirdest!

Secretaries Series: Jeh Johnson on DHS' Toughest Tasks
Election security, the migration of people toward the U.S.' southern border and taking a lead on the public-private critical intersection of cyber security are just a few of the pressing issues facing the Department of Homeland Security.
DHS Secretary Kirsten Nielsen expressed confidence going into the mid-term election, calling it "the most secure election we've ever had". At the same time, she's dealing with the highly controversial issue of people moving toward the U.S.' southern border and has the ongoing task of encouraging more private sector cooperation when it comes to cyber defense that impacts the nation as a whole. None of these issues are new to DHS. In fact, with many of them, we've been here, or somewhere similar, before.
The Cipher Brief's Todd Rosenblum talked with former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson as part of The Homeland's series of interviews with former Secretaries on what DHS has learned from past experiences.

Brazilian football legend Pele has been admitted to a hospital due to a stomach complaint
Rio de Janeiro: Brazilian football legend Pele has been admitted to a hospital due to a stomach complaint.
The 74-year-old cancelled a scheduled appearance at the Pele Museum in the coastal city of Santos before being taken to Sao Paulo's Albert Einstein hospital by ambulance Wednesday, Xinhua quoted O Globo as saying.
His condition is not thought to be serious but a hospital spokesperson said the former Selecao No.10 was undergoing a series of tests to determine the cause of the ailment.
It is not the first time that Pele has suffered health problems.
In 2004, the three-time World Cup winner underwent emergency eye surgery for a detached retina and in 2012 he had a hip replacement.
