Books can be so contradictory sometimes. On the one hand, they can provide us with excellent representation for marginalised identities and allow teens to see themselves in what they read, critique our society in a way that's accessible to the young adult audience, and provide us with exciting and engaging content. But sometimes, disappointingly, they can seem to do all the wrong things: provide harmful representations of some identities or come across as problematic.
Let me just say something for a second — books don't intentionally try to be problematic or insensitive. It's not like the author sets out to write something that will offend or harm as many people as possible. Additionally, it's not just the author that should be blamed for these errors. As Danielle Binks mentioned in her panel at YA Day just last weekend, there has to be accountability from the editors and the first readers from the publishing house that allow such insensitive content to be made public. And that comes down to the need for more diverse voices in publishing to ensure problematic or triggering or harmful representation and content doesn't harm the people who read YA, especially teens.
We need more diverse voices in publishing. We need equality and respect for everyone, and not let those who work in the industry be drowned out by the white males that are predominantly in the high positions in the companies. Another thing Danielle said on Sunday was that women in the publishing industry are 'overworked, underpaid, and undervalued', and this needs to change. The ingrained sexism in the industry that so many people are made to just endure because they're 'doing what they love' and they're passionate about books has to stop. But that's a whole other conversation for another blog post.
What I really want to talk about today is books that try to be good, but end up harming more people in the process. What prompted this discussion was a book I just finished reading — Miles Away From You. I'd seen a few negative things about it, but I didn't pay much attention to the few tweets I saw a month or so ago about it being harmful for some people. Because our community is becoming more and more educated about misrepresentations and harmful content, it's inevitable that more books will be called out for being problematic. And that's not a bad thing. People need to be aware of how some books may negatively portray some identities because at the end of the day, ensuring people aren't triggered or negatively impacted by what they read is more important than just shoving something under the rug and trying to forget about it.
So let me get back to Miles Away From You — a book I'd been looking forward to reading because I'd heard there was transgender representation and featured a queer male protagonist. This year, 90% of my most anticipated novels had diverse leads, and I was excited to finally get my hands on one of them. And for the first 50 pages, I was really impressed. I mean, there were a few questionably-worded phrases and I wasn't too keen on the idea that the only person of colour in the narrative was on life support, but at the 50 page-mark, there was still hope for it to become one of my favourite reads.
What I was really impressed by was the explicit stating that the protagonist was pansexual, which is an identity I haven't seen in many books (and as pansexual is the first identity I ever aligned myself with, that's representation that's really close to my heart), the protagonist has two mums, the protagonist also uses the word demisexual to talk about himself being on the asexual spectrum, there's a gay love interest, and one of the characters we're introduced to is genderfluid. There was a lot of positives I saw in the book… but it was just the way this story was executed that I wasn't impressed by. Miles Away From You really attempted to be a book that represented multiple identities, it just went about it in a very not good way.
It's not okay to see the only transgender woman of colour with abusive parents in the narrative on life support, with her only 'purpose' being to allow Miles to go out and discover who he really is. I know it doesn't mean much coming from a cis white woman, but I found this book just showed Miles as a 'White Saviour', and it could be very harmful for trans readers. Please be careful if you decide to pick up this book.
But something a lot of us have to remember is that more often than not, queer voices are put ahead of the voices of people of colour in the book community, and that's not okay. I've witnessed the discourse about this issue, and it's something that has to change. There shouldn't be some kind of ranking of importance of marginalised identities in both the community and the YA novels we read. Just recently, I saw some people getting 'upset' over the fact that Love, Hate & Other Filters, an #OwnVoices novel, didn't have enough queer characters. Authors can't win. But at the same time, books shouldn't be ranked based on the kind of diverse identities they represent. It's not like, for instance, books featuring mentally ill characters are less important that those featuring queer characters. Ideally, books should strive to represent people of all marginalised identities — because that reflects the kind of world we live in.
So what was the point I was trying to make with this long-winded discussion? I guess it's that we have to acknowledge both the good and the bad aspects of novels, to not disregard marginalised voices in both the community and the industry, and to keep reading more diverse and #OwnVoices books. I'm so proud of all the people that raise insightful discussions in our community about the need for diversity and representation in the novels we read, and I know that people will keep learning with time.
Have you read Miles Away From You? What do you think about it? What are some of your favourite #OwnVoices novels? Which diverse reads are you looking forward to getting to this year? I'd love to know!

Every year at the end of August, newlyn holds a fish festival. I tend to go there with my family, to enjoy all they have to offer; food, music, stalls, boats and now with Logan; facepainting, crafts and story time. Today we where also fortunate enough to be graced with the presence of the sun! Is summer finally here? (Nope… Rain is forecasted for tomorrow). Here's a few pictures and paragraphs on the things we have enjoyed today.
Firstly we had to fill up on our favourite Newlyn chippy. Cheesy chips and curry sauce is just what the doctor ordered, especially after the Super Sunday celebrations.
Logan loves boats, he could have watched the boat show happily for hours. I didn't get a picture of the show, Logan needed lifting up to see the boats. I can say that there was alot of waves, Logan shouting 'yaaaaay' and there was also a lot of people watching the show.
There was so many small local business stalls, food, jewellery, clothes, crafts, ect. My favourite stall was the 'Granny Moff'. The second I saw it, the whole layout had caught my eye. I love going to local events! Especially seeing all the hard work that people have put in, to create their dreams. I'm defiantly one for supporting local businesses.
One big building was where all the awful smelling fish was sold, my nephew was scared of the lobsters and Logan just stared at them in amazement. We didn't linger in that area for long, my hungover stomach wasn't agreeing with the smell.
Spending my birthday at the fish festival was quite enjoyable today, family time is limited in our busy working household. Can the day start again, just so I can do it all over again? We had icecream and loved the music, my nephew and Logan even showed us their unique way of dancing, right before going on some swings.
Did anyone else venture down to the newlyn fish festival, or been before ?

Is there a possibility to book the bus ticket for this long journey online? I haven't found any website to do so? We are planning on travelling with the Bintang Primus bus from Makassar to Torajaland/Rantepao, stay there for four nights, and than take another bus to Manado in the north. Is this at all possible?
Indonesia is so far not good for online booking, exept for some low cost airlines (i know hotels witch you can get 50% cheaper if you don´t book online). The not rather uncomfortable bus from Rantepao to Manado will take about 3 days, you should make a break als in Palu / Dongala, or more interresting a boat from Ampana to Togian islands, then to Gorantolo (only 2 boats per week for this part). A bit more comfortable then buses are Kijangs, 7 seat vans, about 30-40% more expensive
imho you'd better go back to Makassar (also known as Ujung Pandang) and take a fligth to Manado. The bus would stop at airport if you ask, it's normal.
I did so, you'll arrive quite early morning to be able to take first flight to Manado, I did so.
In the past there was a [one way] trecking of days from Toraja to North.. I don't know, mid-Sulawesi is not a good area for tourists.
Hello, thanks for the information. So it is possible to take a bus from Ranepao to Palu or Ampana, travelling should be one day? And how easy is it to take the boot to Togian island an from there go to Manado?
You don't say how long you have for your travels - public transport on Sulawesi is incredibly slow - largely because of the roads and the mountainous routes they must pass through.
The trip from Makassar to Rantepeo is fine - plenty of comfortable buses, 8 hour trip that can be done either overnight or during the day. Toraja itself is fascinating.
From Rantepeo to Manado is a long, long bus trip. I agree with others, if you have the time, break up the trip. From Rantepeo to Ampana, it is a long day of travelling and you'd probably have to stay overnight before getting the ferry to the Togian Islands. If you are travelling with others and if you have the funds, I'd recommend breaking that up into two days - stay a night in Tentana (or Pendolo), get up early and go to Ampana in time for the ferry.
Stay a few days on the Togians and then get the ferry to Gorontalo. From Gorontalo there are buses to Manado. Again, if you have time, stay a night or two in Tomohon - it is quite different to other parts of Sulawesi, volcanoes to climb, and you'll find interesting (!) cuisine in the markets.
There is not really any need to book buses a long way in advance. For example, you should have no difficulty booking onward transport from Rantepeo once you arrive there.
I have really enjoyed two trips to Sulawesi. If you have time take a look at some of my tips about Sulawesi that I have recently updated - they may give you some more advise/ideas.
I hope you have a great time.
In the Rantepeo area, a great guide is Mr Yulius Tandirerung who can be contacted on 62-813-5519-4677 or [email].
I've used him twice - both for Toraja and south Sulawesi and others have recommended him too.
Bus from Ranepao to Ampana should take about 20 hours, Pendolo was nice but the accomoadion there was destroid (maybe now new?), it was also difficult to get a place in a passing throu bus (no problem getting seats in places where the bus starts, nothing starts in Pendolo, from Tentana only to Poso).
Weather permiting there are every day small boats from Ampana to Wakai / Togian (boats from the Kedidiri resorts will wait there, Paradise resort is connected with Oasis hotel in Ampana). The boat to Gorantolo (coming from Ampana) is bigger and runs also in bad weather.
From Gorontalo there are buses to Manado, but Kijangs are in this case better, in both town the bus terminal has a unconvenient location, but Kijangs will wait at the pier and bring you to the hotel, take about 10 hours
I travelling to Makkasar in Febuary 2011.
I looking forward to rent a car to ravel to rural side.
Can Anyone advice me the rental rate and where the interesting

It's Not About Me
The cool thing is that it's been a really good lesson ...in some painful ways and in some really cool ways.
He's shown me that life is short and I don't have time to get my panties in a bunch over small inane things. I don't have time to be selfish and self-centered. And it's prideful to think that that my feelings are more important than someone else's.
He's shown me that my attitude is the only one I can control and it's not ever going to change. I can either choose to be happy or choose to be upset. I can choose to feel blessed or I can choose to see that life is still not what I would want.
He's shown me that my mission field does not only include those that I love in Ethiopia, but also those in my own home and in my circle of friends.
He's shown me that I can either get upset when other people don't live up to my expectations or I can realize that there ain't nobody perfect...and least of all me. Time to cut some people some slack.
He's allowing me to be 'ok' with the issues that keep cropping up with our adoption plan... I was initially upset with a recent set back...but have learned enough to know that it gets me no where to be mad ...just have to press on and give some grace.
He's shown me renewed joy in my children and in my life.
He's given me friends who share my heart, know my heart and get the things that break mine.
It's not about me....It's about Him. He loves me just the way I am ....but refuses to leave me this way... He love you too ya know. :)

YIKES! Why is that I always think people are writing directly to me. My attitude is stinky today.....I need to get over it, but can't seem to shake it.....

One of the most controversial Acts of its time, the Maysville Road act authorizing the purchase of 50,000 worth of stock in the Maysville, Washington, Paris, and Lexington Turnpike Company, otherwise known as the National, or Cumberland, Road. To begin with, the road itself, or what was actually built of it, was a significant advance in construction technology. The four mile stretch that was constructed between Maysville and Washington, Kentucky as was a macadamized' road which was passable in virtually any weather conditions, and greatly reduced freight costs by allowing for heavier loads. Its fifty foot width involved innovative construction techniques such as drainage ditches, and marked a step forward in internal improvement technology.
The project, however, had far more important national implications because there was a Constitutional question as to whether the Federal government could invest in a private corporation. Though Congress clearly believed the Federal government should encourage internal development this way, many Southerners believed that such investment was an infringement on states' rights because it would give the Federal government too much direct control. The Richmond Enquirer, for instance, wrote on May 25, 1830, that they do most religiously hope (President Jackson) will sign this Maysville Road Bill.' The Inquirer was therefore enthused to print Jackson's message to Congress on June 1, 1830, in which he return(ed) to the House of Representatives the enrolled bill.'
President Jackson's reasoning in vetoing the Maysville Road Bill is fairly straightforward, yet lay at the heart of the controversy at the time over the proper role of the Federal versus the state governments and the respective powers of each. In a later letter to Congress, reprinted in The Globe on December 7, 1830, Jackson writes that if the interest of the Government in private companies is subordinate to that of individuals, the management and control of a portion of the public funds is;.. beyond the supervision of our constituents.' Yet, at the same time, Jackson points out that the power which the Central Government would acquire within the several States by becoming the principal stockholder in corporations;. is almost inconceivable, and, in my view, dangerous.' This reasoning is for the most part agreed with throughout the South, because though the importance of Internal Improvements is recognized, many felt it should be done on a private, local, or at least state level.

A mum has vowed to contest a ₤ 100 fine after declaring an environmental enforcer saw her struggle with her young kid prior to she might tidy up after her dog.
Susie Foley, 35, was putting her 18 month old daughter, Scarlett, into her pram when her pug pet dog, Stan, fouled in a public parking area near Fleetwood's primary beach.Mrs Foley says the enforcement officer then approached and informed her that as the canine had fouled, and she had actually not cleaned up the mess "forthwith ", she was liable for a repaired penalty notice.The mum-of-one,
of Hawley Gardens, Thornton, argues that the enforcement officer did not provide her time to tidy up and was too fast to release her with the notice.But the environmental enforcement firm District Enforcement Ltd, acting upon behalf of Wyre Council, stated Mrs Foley did enable her pet dog to foul in a public location, on January 27, and did not attend to it.Wyre Council informed the shocked canine owner it had reviewed body-worn
video footage and backed the officer's decision.Having unsuccessfully appealed against the fine by e-mail, Mrs Foley has actually now been cautioned she will be required to
court if she does not pay up by April 15. She said:"I was angry and upset since all the six years I have actually had my pet dog I have always cleaned up after him, I am an accountable owner.
" I have no issue with wardens fining people who simply permit their pets to foul public areas."But this enforcement warden could see what was happening, I needed to put the security of my child first prior to I addressed the pet dog. "He did not even offer me an opportunity to deal with it, which is the aggravating thing." If I am required to pay this fine I will pay it, but I am arguing about the principle of the thing." Wyre has previously specified that homeowners throughout the borough have highlighted pet dog fouling in public spaces as a significant concern they wish to see tackled by the council.Last year the authority authorized a 12-month pilot scheme releasing Liverpool firm District Enforcement Ltd to combat ecological crime.Its officers are equipped with body-worn, high meaning electronic cameras to film video footage of wrong-doing in all cases where notices are handed out.After her appeal was refused Mrs Foley, who works as an administrator for plastics firm Victrex, contacted Wyre Council about the matter, hoping the council would relent because of the circumstances.But she states an ecological officer stated the official had actually acted fairly and within his remit, and refusal to pay might result in her being responsible for prosecution.A spokesman for District Enforcement Ltd stated:"We can not comment on this case as it is an ongoing examination."Ought to the alleged transgressor fail to release their liability from prosecution by paying the fixed charge notice, the case will be referred to a magistrates'court."It is very important to note that if any of our ecological crime officers observe a
member of the public stopping working to get after their pet dog, they will be provided with an on-the-spot fixed penalty notification of ₤ 100.
"All of our patrols are intelligence-led across the district of Wyre, which have resulted in the issuance of 35 repaired charge notifications for pet fouling since October 29, 2018.
"Wyre Council said it was aware of the matter but declined to comment.Tougher fines A 12-month deal remains in place that saw District Enforcement Ltd officers take to the streets of Wyre in October.At the very same time, fines for pet fouling were increased from ₤ 75 to ₤ 100. Ever since, the variety of fines handed out has risen sharply from 5 in 14 months to 38 in the four months since the pilot began.Wyre stated the offer is not about raising loan as it keep simply 12.5 per cent of the revenue.

KELOWNA, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Catalyst, an award-winning healthcare technology company, introduces MyMedTimes, the first fully automated, clinically managed mobile medication manager. 44% of Canadian adults, and 60% of Americans, live with at least one chronic condition, like heart disease and stroke, cancer, or diabetes, and medications play a key role in treatment. While the merits of taking medications as prescribed are well known, non-adherence is estimated at 50% and causes 10-25% of hospital and nursing home admissions annually. Fortunately, the average North American household has 1.7 mobile phones, which, when combined with MyMedTimes, makes medication management easy.
Watch how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=18&v=iunVf-wAl4s&feature=emb_title
Pharmacists are reliable and highly trained experts who play a pivotal role in health outcomes, using their clinical knowledge and community presence to provide personalized care. MyMedTimes strengthens the pharmacist-patient relationship, helping to promote health and safety, by making it easy to take medications as prescribed.
The role of pharmacists has expanded to include research, health economics, prescribing, and clinical services in the community. They are one of the most accessible health care professionals, often making themselves available 24/7. This responsibility comes with many challenges, such as time to provide clinical services to all patients.
"Efficiently monitoring patient success in real-time can help our profession to meet the growing demand for convenient, accessible, and cost-effective healthcare," said Catalyst CEO Shane Bishop. "It's exciting to give pharmacists the tools they need to help remote monitor the health of their patients."
With deep roots in pharmacy, Catalyst is lead by a pharmacist who pioneered the use of automation, then developed a suite of connected offerings to complement adherence packaging. For 10+ years Catalyst's technology platform has been linking real-time prescription data from pharmacy management software and packaging automation to support safe administration in long-term care; in 2017 spencer was launched to address at-risk patients at home. Now, with the introduction of MyMedTimes, Catalyst's suite of products forms the most comprehensive medication adherence platform in North America.

My favorite Thanksgiving traditions are my mom and I always cook Wednesday night and Thursday morning and we eat at noon than at 5:30 pm we go to Walmart to start Black Friday shopping. I think that as I keep getting older I will keep helping my mom with dinner then go shopping with her. When I went Black Friday shopping my mom and I did a little of both.

My thoughts on the turkey trots are that is probably the dumbest thing ever invented. Like, why would you want to get up early on a holiday and go run in the cold? On days like Thanksgiving, all I wanna do is sleep and eat all day and relax. The events are probably popular because people either like to run or just want to get together and do something as a family. I did not go black Friday shopping because I like my sleep and staying up that late would probably kill me. I like to have the meal with my family on Thanksgiving because the food is always really good and I like to see family members I don't usually see. I think as an adult I would still enjoy the meal the most out of anything because I love Thanksgiving food and I love to eat.
By Ashlin Schnell
I like the idea of the Turkey Trots because they are good ways for an active family's to do something together that they enjoy. I think that these events are popular because it can become a tradition and can encourage kids to be active. My family is very into Black Friday, we go both Thursday night and Friday morning we go to local stores, we all don't enjoy looking online. My favorite Thanksgiving traditions would be walking around downtown Boyne City and getting the free foods and drinks the stores offer for the Christmas parade. I do not know what traditions I will continue as an adult because I do not know where I will live therefore I do not know what will be around me.

I was trying to use Duplicator to move WordPress site from old Godaddy server to Linux c-panel. PHP kept timing out. I called help today and finally got through to a guy who adjusted settings and had me to try the run the installer again. Finally, I guess, gave up an moved the site. It looked like it was working at first, but now the new site won't even show up. I see the files in FBT client, but not all are appearing in cpanel files. When I log in to the back end of the new site, I see plugins that weren't on the original site and some from the original are missing. Did my tech guy just install some standard godaddy template and move my files or what? Also, how can I get the new site to show so I can troubleshoot it?
Old site: annistonyoga.com
New: new.annistonyoga.com
I think files are showing in cpanel, just differently from what I'm used to.

Actually, it's more of an excuse to listen to Pete Townshend, because you can't even hear Williams. But I like the idea that no matter how good you are at what you do, there's going to be a situation where you're out of your element, and maybe you just shut up a little (and yes, I totally get how hard it is to make a classical guitar be as loud as Pete Townshend [of all people] so Williams probably never had a chance). Anyway, Williams seems to be a good sport about it..
Both comments and pings are currently closed.

John Williams seems like a fish out of water ,a rock guitarist he definitely aint ,sorry to say .
Kai this blog rules 🙂
You know Kai i came across this video a few months back for the first time and i 5thought exactly the same thing i could'nt hear JC and I thought he was totally out of his element!
I actually like Pwete Townshend and john williams this is a great song!

A disaster may be unfolding—in slow motion. Earlier this week, two teams of scientists reported that Thwaites Glacier, a keystone holding the massive West Antarctic Ice Sheet together, is starting to collapse. In the long run, they say, the entire ice sheet is doomed. It would release enough meltwater to raise sea levels by more than 3 meters.

The refraction test is an eye exam that measures a person's prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Eye test - refraction; Vision test - refraction; Refraction
This test is performed by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. Both of these professionals are often called "eye doctor."
You sit in a chair that has a special device (called a phoroptor or refractor) attached to it. You look through the device and focus on an eye chart 20 feet away. The device contains lenses of different strengths that can be moved into your view. The test is performed one eye at a time.
The eye doctor performing the test will ask if the chart appears more or less clear when different lenses are in place.
If you wear contact lenses, ask the doctor if you need to remove them and for how long before the test .
There is no discomfort.
This test can be done as part of a routine eye exam. The purpose is to determine whether you have a refractive error (a need for glasses or contact lenses).
For people over age 40 who have normal distance vision but difficulty with near vision, a refraction test can determine the right power of reading glasses.
If your uncorrected vision (without glasses or contact lenses) is normal, then the refractive error is zero (plano) and your vision should be 20/20.
A value of 20/20 is normal vision. This means you can read 3/8-inch letters at 20 feet. A small type size is also used to determine normal near vision.
You have a refractive error if you need a combination of lenses to see 20/20. Glasses or contact lenses should give you good vision. If you have a refractive error, you have a "prescription." Your prescription is a series of numbers that describe the powers of the lenses needed to make you see clearly.
If your final vision is less than 20/20, even with lenses, then there is probably another, non-optical problem with your eye.
The vision level you achieve during the refraction test is called the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).
Abnormal results may be due to:
Other conditions under which the test may be performed:
There are no risks.
You should have a complete eye examination every 3 to 5 years if you have no problems. If your vision becomes blurry, worsens, or if there are other noticeable changes, schedule an eye examination immediately.
After age 40 (or for people with a family history of glaucoma), eye examinations should be scheduled at least once a year to test for glaucoma. Anyone with diabetes should also have an eye exam at least once a year.
People with a refractive error should have an eye examination every 1 to 2 years, or whenever their vision changes.

One of the most prominent stereotypes in Track and Field labels Caucasians as not being up to par with the Black athletes. Not just in running events, but also in jumping events as well. Colored men and women do indeed dominate the sport. This can be seen through examples like Usain Bolt in the 100m, Flo Jo in the 100m, and Javier Sotomayor in the High Jump. These Colored athletes all happen to be world record holders. Not just at the Olympic or Professional level, this stereotype also affects youth Track and Field. Caucasians are seen as not being able to perform as well as their Black teammates, which adds to the stereotype that athletes of color dominate Track and Field.
Of course, there are standout performances by White athletes as well. Sally Pearson in the women's 100m hurdles, and Jesse Williams of the men's high jump are champions in their event, and have consistently performed better than their Colored competitors. Like these athletes, I too have won against athletes of all ethnicities. There are definitely many colored high jumpers better than me, but in my own competitive experience there have been times where I have out-jumped them. I like to believe this proves the stereotype that only the Black athletes can run or jump. I only make a minimal impact as I am not a world-class athlete, but there are thousands of standout Caucasian athletes making a greater impact against this stereotype. Throughout writing this response, I feel as if I am being oppressive towards my Colored athletes. I just wanted to note I am in no way trying to be racist, but trying to explain my position being a Caucasian makes me worry I am being offensive!

There are worse ways to spend a Sunday than sitting in a grand 18th century ballroom, selling pop-up Christmas cards to all and sundry. It was hard work, but as I love nothing better than a bit of people watching, it was a pleasure too.
People really do come in all varieties don't they? Fat, thin, short, tall, grumpy, smiley, chatty, flirty, angry, playful, grateful…I could go on. My favourite challenge is getting a sale out of the most unlikely of candidates, like the person who exclaims 'Six pounds for a Christmas card!'
Ah yes, but it's not just any Christmas card. It was designed by yours truly and you won't find it anywhere else in the world. And it was slotted together by hand. The recipient will never throw it away…etc etc.
I also love the customers who spend upwards of £20 on cards in one fell swoop. Kerching!
My husband and I were both exhausted at the end of the day, but I had booked myself into a rejuvenating chanting and gong bathing class. It was just the job. I have a voice that makes Florence Foster Jenkins seem tuneful, yet I love chanting. It is so soothing and I don't care if I look like an idiot, sat there droning words I don't understand.
I've just paid for a silent retreat that I am doing next Sunday and frankly, I am counting down the days. Six whole hours of glorious quiet. Priceless.
Personal manifesto
Stillness is in every moment.

Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters
One of my favorite things to do during my off days is to roam around the city and go into coffee shops, restaurants, and showrooms. Very weird hobby of mine but I love it lol. I found this super cute little coffee roastery in the heart of Oak Cliff…right off of Davis St. Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters prides themselves in "doing good work." I must say that my chai latte is reminiscent of just that.
I was a bit apprehensive when the barista told me that they didn't have almond milk. But she explained that they use a special pasteurized milk that pretty much keeps the lactase enzymes and rids out the lactose enzymes. My mind was blown by her thoroughness so I decided to try out the $6 latte…+ a $1 tip. Even though it was a bit pricier… IT WAS WORTH IT. The texture was perfect-flavor was perfect-and the cute latte design with foam set my latte off just right.
I must include that they do not have WIFI or outlets [so don't be like me and go with your computer on 8% and phone on 4% lol] But….if you're looking for a quaint little coffee shop, want to buy local…or you want to impress someone new-try out Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters =)

PS' Third Vice President Juho Eerola is suspected of ethnic agitation in Finland
Perussuomalaiset (PS)* third vice president Juho Eerola is suspected of ethnic agitation, according to YLE News.

text: The famous caves that hosted the now legendary monk seal, have become over the years the usual destination of tourists by boat, with a short trip starting from the small pier of Cala Gonone you can visit them through the emerald waters there until the small pier entry of that cave cradled by the roar of the waves. Inside, its two main tunnels wind for about 5 km, ending in the small beach where the seals gave birth to their young. Inside you can admire some dancing figures engraved on the limestone walls and dating back to the Neolithic. Since 2013 the event Cala Gonone Jazz Festival has accepted the hospitality of this charming place considering it a second home, deciding to include in the schedule the morning concerts, definitely appreciated by the public, tourists and curious, artists and the same organization that found in the majestic entrance of the cave an adequate space with excellent acoustics. An enchanting dome separated from the world, where the musicians are overwhelmed and inspired by its natural sounds and by the sky painted on the ceiling thanks to the reflections of the sea.

Hydraulic cylinders, equipped with the new linear cushioning can now move large masses at high speeds (up to 1 m/s) without any problem, and can brake them again within a very short time indeed! The newly developed cushioning piston makes this possible. This assures a very short braking time because the available cushioning travel is used in an ideal manner. The best possible way of implementing short cycle times that are unproblematic over a long time period.
This new linear cushioning requires no adjustment. Calculated just once using design tool ahp.calc, the cylinder can then enter service without an adjustment process, using a setting screw. Always suited to the individual application. This relegates adjustment problems to the past.
To assure safe and problem-free application over the long-term, it is important to know the key parameters of each individual application, and to balance these off against the cushioning capacity of the cylinder. Important key parameters here include: KPIs of the cylinder, its installation position, the definition of cushioning length as a function of piston diameter and the total energy of the application.
In the course of this year, we shall progressively be equipping our standard cylinders in the HZ series with linear cushioning. This is available immediately on request.

I was just curious, what is the purpose of a dutch oven? could I just use a clay casserole dish instead? since I can cook acidic in it without any affects anyways? Just curious? also, how does a casserole dish compare to a dutch pot? I get sort of confused between all these different terms because it seems sometimes their purposes overlap each other a lot.

€10m funding to breathe new life into popular sites
Blankenberge's Art Deco pier is among the jewels in Flanders' heritage crown that are to be restored thanks to a €10 million investment. "Some of our heritage gems need a little polishing," said acting heritage minister Ben Weyts. "Take Blankenberge pier: a real eye-catcher that's now in a bad way."
The pier (pictured) dates back to 1894 and is the oldest on Europe's Atlantic coast. "It's part of our collective consciousness," said Weyts, who took over the heritage portfolio from Geert Bourgeois in July. "Everyone in Flanders knows the pier: Most of us have walked along it. It dominates the coastline, but no longer makes the best impression. Based on the original plans, we're going to rebuild it in white concrete, which will also better protect it against the ravages of time."
As well as the pier, which receives just over €6 million of the total €10.25 million funding, Weyts is investing in a range of other sites across the region. They include the Kasteelhoeve de Laiterie in Dilbeek, Flemish Brabant, the Blauwhuis castle domain in Izegem, West Flanders, the Herman Teirlinck House in Beersel, Flemish Brabant, and the Ante Mare apartment building in De Panne, back at the coast.
As part of longer-term agreements, the money will also be used to restore Wilrijk's town hall and for the next stage of restoration of the Sint-Martinus church in Aalst.
The Herman Teirlinck House is the former home of the poet, author and playwright who was one of the most influential figures in Dutch-language literature. It receives €130,000 to support its conversion to a residence for artists and writers.
Almost €250,000 has been allocated to the restoration of the Sint-Martinus church, which dates to 1479 and houses a baroque painting by Pieter-Paul Rubens. The money will pay for preliminary investigations to prepare the restoration of the interior of the transept.
"Valuable heritage belongs to the whole community," Weyts said. "We must protect our heritage gems for the future and restore them where possible."

i've been to this pier many times...what is obvious to me is that it is NOT maintained at all...and this is obviously a strategy to get a large amount of money to "rebuild" it...at which point it will of course be neglected and ignored again until the next time that a large amount of money can be appropriated to "rebuild" it again...

With Ash vs Evil Dead officially laid to rest, fans are now turning to Fede Alvarez to keep the franchise alive (or undead). EW sat down with Alvarez to talk about his upcoming film The Girl in the Spider's Web starring Claire Foy, which releases November 9th, 2018. Foy will be taking over the role of Lisbeth Sanders. Click here for the intense trailer.
The conversation turned "groovy" when EW asked Alvarez about his recent Twitter post stating he would make a sequel to his 2013 Evil Dead film if Uruguay wins the soccer World Cup.
Here's what Alvarez had to say:
"Look, I love those movies. Making my Evil Dead was an amazing experience, it was my first film. So, going back at some point will be a possibility."
Alvarez continues:
"I mean, I'm really good friends with all those guys, with Bruce, and Sam, and Rob (Tapert, who has produced all the Evil Dead movies). So, we always chat about it. The good news — and I think that's what sometimes people don't understand — is, none of those guys will make any of these movies just because they can, just because it's good business. They will only make it if they believe they have some good story to tell. A lot of people say that in this industry, but most of the time it's not true. With those guys, all of us involved in those movies, we will just make them if we believe there's a story that has to be told, and is awesome, and is great, and we believe that it will be better than anything that will be done before in that world. [When] we find that story, when we all agree on what it is, it will probably happen."
Alvarez's statements mirror Denis Villeneuve's regarding his passion for Blade Runner 2049, and his upcoming Dune films. Reboots and remakes walk a fine line between honoring the source material and making the new version its own thing. The writer/director's 2013 Evil Dead film was met with overall positive feedback from the horror community. It's a relief to hear if a sequel does happen Alvarez sounds determined to have a story worth telling.
It would be interesting to see what direction he would take the story. Bruce Campbell called Sam Raimi's Evil Dead 2 a "requel," and it's likely Alvarez's film would take the more traditional sequel route. If it begins right where his first film left off, he could expand the terror outside the cabin to the surrounding forest. Oh, the bloody possibilities.
We'd love to hear what you guys would like to see if the next Evil Dead becomes a reality. Post your thoughts in the comments, and we'll keep you updated on any developments with this story!

The visit will be as everyone pays its own and visit as much as they wish to visit on each day ,two days or all three days. I will have a place to meet on each day and we will go from there as a group. The basic visits are explained here;

We will meet at the castle main horseshoe entrance by 9AM as I will be driving by car; you can come a bit late if coming delays on public transport it will be fine. We will be able to see for the first time the apartment of the Pope. The Musée Napoléon 1er , prince apartments, portraits of pageantry, sumptuous weapons, luxury works of art but also a reconstituted tent evoking the life of the Emperor in the countryside. Also, small apartments, the Chinese Museum, the jeu de paume, the Gallery of furniture… and is a very precious decorative arts museum. I will try to get you in to the Salle de la Belle Cheminée which off to the public but I have done conferences there. This is Belle-Cheminée du Primatice building by the cour de la Fontaine. And of course, the 3 gardens styles .
June 25th 2015 ,Paris
We will meet by the statue of Gustave Eiffel on the Nord Pylon . Going to the underground of the Tour Eiffel, (price will be around 20 euros per person) and to get it I need 10 min.)FYI, and visit the Chapelle Expiatoire where the remains of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette were first place and now a restful place and private of the Bourbon family. Go into some of the historical monuments in the Parisian deluxe Hotels done by Charles Garnier (opéra etc fame). We have the Chapelle Expiatoire open ok for Thursday June 25th so depending on when the tour Eiffel can fit us we will do this first or second. We will do this as time permitting.
June 26th , Versailles
We will meet in front at the Place d'Armes outside castle. We will see the whole of the castle (private apartment of the kings),the Royal Chapel ,and Opéra theater, then out into the Trianons, and Hameau of M-A, with a passport pass 18€, this includes in addition, the Great water shows,musical gardens that will be playing in June and temporary exhibitions. I will walk you to my jogging trails and family picnics beyond the Grand Canal, into the farm at St Cyr that fed the palace in its heydays and still operated by descendants since 1741. I have some surprises but will wait to have confirm by the castle and should be available before you get to it.
So if anyone is interested and will be available on those dates, let me know here. Check back here for any updates, and be there. And hopefull, we can finally meet in person ::) cheers

Maidthorn Partners is a media tech business who needed help launching two new products, both in the highly competitive and unicorn-dominated subscription video space. Our brief was clear – both services needed subscribers… fast.
We delivered...
Positioning Marquee.TV with its theatre, ballet and opera content as 'Netflix for the Arts' and a first in media, we were able to land hard news coverage from the Financial Times to the Evening Standard. We then took trending topics, such as Love Island and the Royal Wedding, and pegged our classic content against them to make alternative viewing which the TV listings were hungry for.
For country music hub CountryLine, we married data between potential subscribers and music-led regional radio. The With team landed a cost-free suite of competitions with Bauer Media. The competition ran across a selection of the nation's favorite radio shows, including Absolute Radio and Magic FM, unlocking further opportunities across Grazia and Empire for Marquee.TV.Back
