Narnia becomes GRIMM
Completely unexpected, we were not granted the rights to perform the reprise of Narnia: the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. This means we cannot perform Narnia.
Dutch National Ballet and ISH have decided to produce a new show, in a similar vein as Narnia, with the same creative team and for the same age group (8 years and up): GRIMM, a spectacular journey through the world of fairy tales.
Do you already have tickets for Narnia? They will of course be valid for the new show GRIMM. We strive to bring you another show of the high quality you are used to, that will offer you another beautiful evening in the theatre.
GRIMM is about two boys who find themselves in a fantasy world, where they meet Red Riding Hood and the wolf, the seven dwarves, Rapunzel, Snow White, the witch, Cinderella and other fairytale characters in succession. They get mixed up in exciting adventures, in which all sorts of elements from well-known fairytales are jumbled up in a lively parade of fairytale characters. As in all fairytales, a big role is played by love and jealousy, friendship, tyranny, intrigues and the battle between good and evil.
In a completely new adaptation, Marco Gerris and Ernst Meisner are making a compilation of the best Grimm stories, interwoven with magic and contemporary elements. Following the huge success of Narnia, GRIMM is once again an exciting collaboration between the Junior Company and ISH Dance Collective. Ballet dancers and hiphoppers dance together in a new, individual dance style, in which they challenge and surprise one another.
Should you have questions about your tickets, please contact the box office of Dutch National Opera & Ballet via firstname.lastname@example.com or +31 (0)20 625 5455.

Here's the post I put up on Facebook with minor fixes earlier today for those of you not using it.
Just got a notice that S. 1717 picked up a new cosponsor, Senator Blunt from Missouri. That gives the bill both senators from MO and most if not all the representatives as well. Blunt's on the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, maybe he can get it moving. Anyone from MO should send a thank you message to him and ask for a little push on the bill. He should have a lot of influence as well, he's been around since 1997 which gives him good seniority. He's also on the Surface Transportation and Merchant Marine Infrastructure, Safety and Security subcommittee which may be the one the bill was assigned to but I don't know for sure.

Team from grieving Parkland, Fla., school returns to the baseball field
PARKLAND, Fla. — The first person at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School to see Nikolas Cruz with an AR-15 rifle, the one he would confess to using to kill 17 people, was a junior varsity baseball player.
Chris McKenna, a 15-year-old freshman and utility fielder, was on his way to the bathroom. He encountered Cruz loading the gun in a stairwell.
"Better get out of here," Cruz told Chris. "Things are about to get messy."
Chris ran off. Cruz proceeded to kill three students inside room 1216, which Chris had just left.
Desperate Snapchat messages — some showing blood smeared on a classroom floor — spread the word about an active shooter. In the adjacent building, five varsity baseball players huddled with a horde of students inside a culinary supply closet. Junior shortstop Gary Swanson thought the gunfire sounded like that of a video game. He had never before heard a semi-automatic weapon in person.
A senior second baseman, Brandon Auerbach, located at the campus building farthest from the indoor storm of ammunition, heard faintly what he assumed were heart-shaped balloons popping. It was Valentine's Day.
"No one should go through what we're living through right now," Auerbach said.
He was referring to the 3,293-student body and their families, minus 14 peers and three teachers whom Cruz, a 19-year-old ex-student, killed on Feb. 14.
The baseball players are not grieving differently from the rest of the survivors at Stoneman Douglas, but after the massacre delayed the varsity season, they can offer everyone a sense of normalcy with the Eagles' opening game at home Friday.
"Everybody says their thoughts and prayers are with us," Auerbach said. "I just want to get back to a normal routine."
Swanson felt weirded out by the news cameras and police officers positioned for when classes resumed.
"I wanted them to leave, to be honest," he said. "I just want to get back to normal."
Past squad cars guarding the school entrances, on a red dirt field, the Eagles held an intrasquad game Thursday evening. Palm trees cast shadows over the bleachers behind home plate. Pings from metal baseball bats interrupted the rush hour rumble of the nearby expressway.
Baseball is to South Florida what football is to West Texas. Stoneman Douglas was ranked 22nd in the country before the season by Baseball America. The school is a perennial contender for the national championship and won it in 2016.
"Talk to your classmates about coming here tomorrow," coach Todd Fitz-Gerald said after practice. "It'll be good for them."
None of the students killed was a member of the baseball or softball program. The community has encouraged students to let go of survivor's guilt, to let out their hurt.
Fitz-Gerald, 47, has coached for 24 years. He initiated a lot of informal therapy. He believed in the restorative effect of organizing practices right away, but first he gathered all baseball and softball players, plus some parents, at a batting cage the day after the shooting.
"We have a lot of guys that are very good at keeping emotions in," Auerbach said.
Players listened to Fitz-Gerald open up. They are used to his intense stares, not his vulnerability. They spotted tears welling behind his reading glasses, and then they broke down, too. They dipped their heads, slung arms around each other, and stopped internalizing the horror.
"They were a very tight-knit group to begin with," said Marnie Auerbach, Brandon's mom and the team's booster club president. "They're always there for each other now. The closeness is even greater."
After attending the funerals of three victims, Brandon told his mom he wants to attend the march in Washington, D.C., on March 24 to promote gun control. His mom said she was "shocked" to see his activism — and proud.
"We're going to keep fighting, until something goes our way, until we can assure this won't happen again," Brandon said. "It's only been two weeks, and a lot of our students have already done so much."
Walmart and Dick's Sporting Goods recently announced they would stop selling firearms to anyone under 21, as well as certain cartridge sizes of ammunition.
Swanson sat in history class on Wednesday. He imagined the school written up in the textbook.
"It hit me. We're causing a movement," the junior said.
When students had scattered from the spray and sound of bullets, upperclassmen on the baseball team checked on everyone in the program through texting. They formed a search party when one junior varsity player did not respond. He wound up unharmed.
Fitz-Gerald is most protective of the freshman players. At least four were inside the building when Cruz unloaded. Rescuing students later required them stepping over the carnage.
"I have a couple kids that saw some pretty nasty things," Fitz-Gerald said.
He did not see anything like that. But he, like anyone in Parkland, identifies with the sense of loss.
Fitz-Gerald sat in a golf cart with Aaron Feis, an assistant football coach, on the morning of the shooting, part of their daily ritual. Feis also was a fixture for students, who waved at him twice a day when he guarded the senior parking lot gate.
Fitz-Gerald headed to the ball field after their golf cart chat.
"I said, 'I'll see you in a little while,' " Fitz-Gerald said. The shooting began 10 minutes later.
Fitz-Gerald was on the ball field by then. He saw Jeff Heinrick, a parent-volunteer, helping a young student to walk. He noticed blood dripping down the teenager's shin, which he figured came from trying to hop a fence.
Only when the fire alarm rang, panicked texts flooded his phone and the young man said he had been shot did Fitz-Gerald realize someone with an assault rifle was shooting up the school.
Fitz-Gerald and Heinrick took the student to the baseball clubhouse and locked the door.
While he waited with the freshman until paramedics arrived, Fitz-Gerald watched the news.
"Police everywhere. Kids everywhere," he said.
The shooting lasted six minutes. Fitz-Gerald stayed in the clubhouse for more than four hours. A SWAT team let him know the threat was over.
His wife and two children worried he had been killed until they all exchanged text messages. After he stepped into his home, the family rushed into a tearful group hug.
"I don't know that we said anything," Fitz-Gerald said.
He later heard about Feis, 37, also a father.
As Chris ran across campus, heeding Cruz's threat, he told Feis what he had just seen.
Feis escorted Chris to the gate and turned back inside the freshman building unarmed. He died shielding others from the AR-15 blaze.
Chris called his dad, John McKenna, a special agent with the West Palm Beach DEA. Chris spoke with composure, articulating how Cruz was dressed: black pants and a maroon shirt that read ROTC.
John immediately called someone he knew in the sheriff's office, where no one was aware of the shooting yet. Law enforcement based their initial dispatches off Chris' account.
With his life spared, Chris played a major role in catching Cruz. An officer identified the gunman walking down a nearby residential street. Cruz confessed the next day.
Chris' father confirmed the details of his son's involvement. John said his son had told his story enough.
"He's actually in a good place right now," John said. "It's back to baseball."

Kelley S is the November 2018 Volunteer of the Month
Congratulations to Kelley S., nominated and chosen as the November 2018 Multnomah County Animal Services Volunteer of the Month.
Learn more about the Volunteer of the Month Program
Kelley has always had a deep love for animals. Growing up, she was the girl looking for lost dogs and bringing home critters. As an adult, Kelley's dogs Mandolin, Boo Bear, and Mallory were her closest family while her husband Reese was deployed for military service. Her dogs were by her side as she fought through health problems that left her bedridden and socially-isolated.
Even as Kelley's health was improving, her dogs became terminally ill. Her senior lab, Mallory, passed away suddenly. Litter-mates Boo Bear and Mandolin, whom Kelley adopted as puppies, were both diagnosed with cancer. Within a year, Kelley's animal companions were all tragically gone.
With the loss of Kelley's dogs, there was a big empty space in her heart. She wanted to be able to take her heartache and do something good to help others and start to heal. Looking for volunteer opportunities online, Kelley became interested in fostering for Multnomah County Animal Services. After attending a volunteer information session with Reese in January 2018, they became foster volunteers, and started walking dogs at the shelter.
As a foster volunteer, Kelley enjoys opening her home to give dogs a break from the stress of the shelter, an opportunity to express natural behavior out of a kennel, let their true colors shine, and to work one on one with them. Her current foster dog, a senior German Shepherd named Buddy, just wants to be with his people. Kelley says "Buddy just wants someone to follow around, take him for a car ride, and rub his head." Kelley and Reese are working with him on his separation anxiety while he waits for an adopter. Foster dogs in Kelley's home also enjoy the company of her Carolina Dog, Tanner, and German Shepherd, Mya.
Both Kelley and Reese walk and provide enrichment for dogs at the shelter. Kelley is also a volunteer mentor, providing guidance and training to other volunteers. For Kelley, walking dogs on the paths around the shelter and spending time with them in the play yards is the best way to get to know their behaviors, unique traits, and personalities. It puts her in a position to make informed recommendations for adopters seeking new pets at the shelter.
Helping to make adoption matches and connecting with visitors at the shelter can be as rewarding for Kelley as working with the dogs. Kelley feels a special kinship with interested adopters seeking a new companion animal after losing a pet. Kelley says "It's really important for volunteers to be able to listen to stories or feelings of loss, and try to make it better."
For those interested in volunteering, Kelley says "give it a try, see what you like! It's also really good for your health. It's been great for social-anxiety and depression to interact with dogs and the public at the shelter."
Kelley thanks all of the volunteers and staff at Multnomah County Animal Services for being friendly and welcoming throughout her volunteer service.
Danielle H., Canine Care Specialist for MCAS, says Kelley is "very dedicated, very kind and caring, and has quickly worked up to a Mentor role. She's devoted to giving all our dogs and volunteers the individual attention they deserve. We appreciate her very, very much!"
Thank you, Kelley, for your dedicated, positive service for the people and pets of Multnomah County!

NORWALK — The owner of a Westport Avenue beauty salon sexually assaulted a teenage boy who was dropped off for a haircut last August, according to an arrest warrant.
Karoll Angelina Jurado-Hernandez, 46, was arrested Tuesday at her salon, Khronos Beauty Salon at 250 Westport Ave., and was charged with second-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor.
The salon was open on Wednesday and an employee hung up when a reporter called for comment.
According to the warrant, Jurado-Hernandez had been left alone with the victim and his older brother for haircuts on Aug. 24.
During the appointment, Jurado-Hernandez brought the teenager into a private room to wax his eyebrows, and asked him personal questions once they were alone, the warrant said.
Jurado-Hernandez asked the boy if he had ever waxed his chest or anywhere else and then asked if she could see, the warrant said. Jurado-Hernandez then performed an unwanted sexual act on the child, the warrant said.
The boy told his father later that night about the incident and they reported it to police, the warrant said. The investigation was later assumed by the Norwalk Police Department's Special Victims Unit.
When detectives asked Jurado-Hernandez if she ever performed sexual acts on a client, she responded, "that was personal."
"Angelina stated that in Colombia, there is a saying that she knows if you have sex inside your car or your business of employment that it's bad energy. Angelina stated there is different places to engage in sex and your business isn't one of them," Detective Kristina La Pak wrote in the warrant.
Jurado-Hernandez later told La Pak that "everyone makes mistakes" when the detective served a search-and-seizure warrant to obtain the salon owner's DNA.
That DNA was later found to match remnants of saliva found in the victim's underwear, the warrant said.
Jurado-Hernandez was initially held on a $250,000 bond, but Judge William Wenzel lowered the amount to $20,000 at her arraignment in Norwalk on Wednesday.
If Jurado-Hernandez posts bail, she is prohibited from having any contact with the victim and his family, she will have to forfeit any passports and will be placed on house arrest.
She is also court-ordered to undergo mental health and substance abuse evaluations.
Jurado-Hernandez is next scheduled to appear in state Superior Court in Norwalk on Feb. 26.

The Age of Addiction
How Bad Habits Became Big Business

We are living in an age of addiction, from compulsive gaming and binge eating to pornography and opioid abuse. Today I talked with historian David Courtwright about the global nature of pleasure, vice, and capitalism. His new book is called The Age of Addiction: How Bad Habits Became Big Business (Harvard University Press, 2019). During our discussion, Courtwright walks us through the emergence of the worldwide commodification of vice and shares his views on "limbic capitalism," the network of competitive businesses targeting the brain pathways responsible for feeling, motivation, and long-term memory. The book is equally interesting and disturbing. And Courtwright offers timely recommendations about how we can understand and address the Age of Addiction. Coming from one of the world's leading experts on the history of drugs and addiction, this important work raises stimulating and sobering questions about consumption and free will.
Courtwright is the author of Forces of Habit: Drugs and the Making of the Modern World (Harvard University Press, 2001) as well as Dark Paradise: A History of Opiate Addiction in America (Harvard University Press, 1982).
Lucas Richert is an associate professor in the School of Pharmacy at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He studies intoxicating substances and the pharmaceutical industry. He also examines the history of mental health.

Fleeting, fickle fameAh, alliteration.
So here we are less than a month before classes resume. And I have had to give out and then take away the reserve award this year.
Normally I give out 2 reserve awards. One for most items on a reserve list. There are always many contenders for this one.
A year ago we had a 20 page list. Which strangely enough got longer as the semester got shorter. I think by finals it was near 30 pages long. I swear that man was trying to kill me.
And the second one is the prestigious Nike (haha) award. It is given to the professor who turns in the most organized, concise, and timely list. Now there are several contenders for the Nike every semester. Some are new professors who, sadly, do not make a repeat appearance. Even if they win.
This year I foolishly awarded the Nike last week. This professor had turned in two reserve lists in June. They were perfect. She included the class number, class title, the call number of the books, the title and author(!) as well as publisher and year. And best of all, the 2 lists totaled 8 books. Since the 2 lists had all the requirements to award the Nike I felt justified in awarding it before the semester started.
Ah, how wrong I was. Today the former Nike reserve champion added(!!!!) 4 more books to her lists.
So we must search for another deserving faculty member who will treat this award as the honor it is. I hope we can find one. There hasn't not been a Nike winner in years. It's like cancelling the World Series.

As various threads start to come together, the big picture is revealed to be more than he ever bargained for. As bullets start to fly from both directions, the only thing Harold knows for sure is that he isn't being paid enough to deal with this.

TitanfallMicrosoft was criticised for a lot of things after their big Xbox One reveal two weeks ago in Seattle, but one of the big ones was that the press conference showed almost no gaming.
In my interview with Xbox head Marc Whitten, I asked about this, and he explained that it was very much a hardware launch, and with that out of the way, E3 would be all about the games.
True to his word, E3's Monday morning press conference, the first big event of every E3, was almost non-stop games from start to finish. Microsoft showed off a lot of exclusives – some made internally, and others made by third party publishers – as well as a few cross-platform games getting bonuses on the Xbox One.
Of course, volume does not make a great press conference. What was the quality like?
For my money, the games on display ranged from okay to amazing, with nothing looking outright terrible, and plenty of things worthy of gamers' interest.
My favourite of the conference (and in fact my favourite game of the day) is the debut game from former Call of Duty assistant-developer Respawn, a first person shooter called Titanfall. It's not clear yet exactly how the game modes work, but it appears to be a multiplayer-only game with story elements and characters.
The coolest thing is that is mixes soldiers on foot and big combat mechs, called titans. Cleverly, the regular humans are given agility and firepower that allows them to take down titans if they're clever, so being inside a mech is not an "I win" card. Soldiers have an amazing, free-flowing movement, letting them wall-run and leap from building to building.
The mechs are also quick and nimble, but are hampered by their size – they can't get down into a basement to chase infantry. It looks like a smart team will mix their troop types.
Oh, and a mech can cripple an enemy mech, punch its fist into its torso, pull out the screaming pilot, and throw him. I'm not sure how anything else this E3 will be able to top that for sheer awesomeness.
Another long-awaited reveal was Ryse: Son of Rome, an Xbox One launch exclusive made by CryTek. Set during the Roman conquest of Western Europe, you control a Roman centurion, fighting enemies one on one in blood-soaked sword-and-sandal style, but you can also give limited commands to your troops.
While you might choose to take on a large group of enemies one on one for the extra experience, you may instead opt to let your archers kill them, or at least reduce their numbers a little. Combat is fast and brutal, and it is essential to watch your enemies closely, because you will not be told when to block. I had some hands-on time with Ryse on Monday evening, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The following console-exclusive games were also shown off. Note that some of these will be released on both Xbox One and Windows PC:
Project Spark – Something along the lines of LittleBigPlanet, this game-maker toolset will use the controller, Kinect voice control, and the SmartGlass tablet app. Like LBP, a huge variety of game types and custom objects will be possible, and all can be uploaded and shared.
Minecraft – Notch's incredibly popular world-building game will be released in a special Xbox One version, with new features such as much larger maps.
Killer Instinct – Rare's classic 2D fighting game is back, pitting werewolves against dinosaurs. The goofy fun will return as a downloadable title. One character will be available free as a demo, and you can then spend money to buy other characters if you like it.
D4 – Only a brief glimpse was given, but this episodic game from the creator of Deadly Premonition seems to be related to the old horror adventure D.
Forza Motorsport 5 – Nobody can be too surprised that Forza will be appearing on Xbox One. This ever-so-pretty racer will feature hundreds of cars and an interesting AI system that learns how you drive and puts a simulated version of you into your friends' single-player games.
Crimson Dragon – Microsoft had an unfortunate sound issue during this presentation, so it's unclear what this game is about. It is from the original designer of Panzer Dragoon, though, and features a lot of brightly-coloured dragons spitting fire at each other.
Dead Rising 3 – It's difficult to say for sure, but it looks like Dead Rising, originally an Xbox 360 exclusive, will be making a return to the Xbox fold, with Dead Rising 3 looking to be an Xbox One exclusive. It's changed in some ways, appearing to be faster-paced and set in a large outdoor open world. Otherwise, it looks like it should please the fans.
Below – This is an oddball indie title from Superbrothers, the creators of Sword and Sworcery EP. It looks like a highly-stylised top-down hack-and-slash, and it was described as a "rogue-like". I suspect this is one that will have to be played to be understood.
Quantum Break – Not much new was revealed about this interesting new property from Alan Wake developer Remedy, except that it involves characters who have survived a laboratory accident that allows them to manipulate time. We also got our first look at the engine, including the incredibly lifelike facial animation.
Apart from games, some other announcements were made. The key ones included:
– A surprise slimmer re-design of the Xbox 360, for which Microsoft reasserted their support by announcing some upcoming titles. 360 is not dead, apparently. Wargaming.Net is also bringing their free-to-play World of Tanks to 360.
– A price for the Xbox One: $US499. Microsoft Australia then confirmed we would get it for $AU599, $50 less than the Australian launch price of the Xbox 360, despite its inclusion of Kinect in every box.
– Much like PlayStation Plus, Xbox Live Gold membership will now grant Xbox 360 users two free games a month, typically older games from their back-catalogue. The first ones announced are Halo 3 and Assassin's Creed II.
– The Xbox Live Marketplace will no longer use points. All purchases will now be priced in users' local currency.
Overall, it was a strong showing for Xbox. Previous E3s have seen lacklustre press conferences from Microsoft, talking too much about cable TV and ESPN. With that out of the way two weeks ago, they were free to just show off the games, and the games they showed were generally quite good.
Stick around for the EA, Ubisoft, and Sony press conference reports.

Christmas Traditions- The Christmas Pickle!
Originally I thought the tradition of hiding a pickle ornament in the Christmas tree was a German one. But upon further investigation, it seems as though it is an American creation that we just say is German! Nonetheless, we had fun looking for the pickle! The one who found it got a special prize and we all drank hot chocolate to celebrate (and because it was -2 degrees outside!)

Is the Ionian Adriatic Pipeline project regaining prominence?
The Government of Croatia recently adopted a Strategic Partnership Declaration between Croatia and Albania, which was accompanied by an Action Plan, aimed at deepening bilateral relations and pinpointing some key areas of cooperation. Apart from assisting Albania on its European integration journey, the two countries agreed to push for a swift realization of a project that has been on the regional to do list for over a decade – the Adriatic-Ionian Pipeline (IAP).
Although the story of the IAP project begun a decade ago, it regained prominence after Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic mentioned it at the Three Seas Initiative summit held in Bucharest in late 2018. For the realization of this project, Albania, Montenegro and Croatia need not only to cooperate closely, but also invest 600 million euros.
The weight of this project lies in the bigger picture – the South Gulf Corridor. This corridor plans to bring gas from the Caspian Basin (Azerbaijan) to the European Union in order to reduce dependence on Russia. The plan is to link the Adriatic-Ionian Gas Pipeline (IAP) to existing Croatian gas systems, via Montenegro and Albania with the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP). Linking Trans-Adriatic (TAP), Trans-Anatolian (TANAP) and South-Caucasus pipeline (SCP) to Europe would enable reliance of a brand-new source in Caspian Region and Middle East.
This project is of strategic importance to the European Union and, apart from the economic ones, there are political motives for empowering Europe's energy security and reducing the influence of Russia in the countries of Eastern Europe. In February 2018, the Fourth Ministerial meeting of the South Corridor Advisory Council was held, when a letter of intent on establishing a project company of the Ionian-Adriatic Pipeline was signed.
The IAP would enable Croatia to diversify its supply, open the possibility of gas transit through Croatia to other countries, and significantly contribute to its energy independence. Another new possibility would be connecting the planned Krk LNG terminal to IAP and therefore enable a direct connection of the North and East pipeline through Croatia. With the realization of this project Croatia would upgrade its gas system, increase the usability of the existing system and, by integrating into European gas flows and the gas market, ultimately provide a more competitive price for natural gas.

NASSAU, The Bahamas, Tuesday September 10, 2019 – The Bahamas will get almost US$11 million from the region's catastrophe risk insurance fund following the passage of Hurricane Dorian that caused widespread devastation in the northern part of the 700-island archipelago.
CCRIF says the government will receive $10,936,103.
The Bahamas has three tropical cyclone policies with CCRIF, each one covering a section or zone of the archipelago – North West, South East and Central. It is the tropical cyclone policy for the North West Zone – which includes the Abaco Islands and Grand Bahama – that was triggered. Dorian made landfall in the north of the archipelago – the Abaco Islands on September 1 and battered Grand Bahama for two days.
CCRIF's payouts are made within 14 days of an event, but in this case CCRIF made an advance payment today of 50 per cent of the payout to allow the Government to begin to address its most pressing needs – with the remaining 50 per cent to be paid within the 14-day window for all CCRIF payouts.
CCRIF CEO Isaac Anthony contacted the Government of The Bahamas to inform of the payout and to express the Facility's own commiseration for the many lives lost and to pledge support to the Government as it seeks to recover and rebuild not just infrastructure but also lives.
In acknowledging the destruction and damage wrought on the northern islands of The Bahamas, he expressed some relief that Dorian spared most of the other islands.
This additional support that could be provided by CCRIF to the Government of The Bahamas will come from the Facility's corporate social responsibility or technical assistance (TA) programme.
Over the years, CCRIF has provided resources from its TA Programme to governments to support specific projects after a natural disaster. In fact, The Bahamas was the recipient in 2012 of a TA grant of US$85,000 following the passage of Hurricane Sandy for the construction of a new sea wall at Sandyport Beach. Similar sized grants have been provided over the years, to Jamaica (US$100,000 for the rehabilitation of the Muirton Boys Home following Hurricane Sandy in 2012) and Dominica (US$100,000 for the construction of new fencing at the Douglas-Charles Airport, which was damaged by Tropical Storm Erika in 2016) among others. The CCRIF Board and Management will decide on possible TA support to The Bahamas in collaboration with the Government in the coming weeks.
"Member governments are appreciative of this rapid infusion of quick liquidity through CCRIF payouts from its parametric insurance policies, which they are able to use to address immediate priorities and to support the most vulnerable in their population," Anthony said.
"CCRIF, through the parametric insurance products that it provides, is an example of a disaster risk financing tool that is most applicable for high impact low frequency events; and the instrument is designed to allow member governments to reduce their budget volatility and to provide some amount of financial resources for emergency relief such as restoring critical infrastructure and providing assistance to the affected population, thereby assisting to reduce post-disaster resource deficits."
CCRIF said the rapid payouts are possible because the insurance policies that CCRIF sells are parametric as opposed to indemnity insurance otherwise referred to as traditional insurance. Parametric insurance products are insurance contracts that make payments based on the intensity of an event (for example, hurricane wind speed, earthquake intensity, volume of rainfall) and the amount of loss calculated in a pre-agreed model caused by these events. Therefore, payouts can be made very quickly after a hazard event, making CCRIF's parametric insurance different from traditional/indemnity insurance that require an on-the-ground assessment of individual losses after an event before a payment can be made – which can take months for a claim to be settled.

I am always keeping myself busy with one thing or another. Whether it's working full-time, working on my bakery, creating new recipes, volunteering at our parish, etc, etc, etc. You get the point! So, I try to find dishes that are relatively easy to prepare or those "one pot meals."
I also like trying to keep our meals as healthy as possible. I've battled with being overweight pretty much all of my life. My husband is also overweight and he was diagnosed with diabetes a couple of years ago. So, I really make an effort to do everything I can to keep our meals healthy. I use whole wheat/whole grains – no more of the white stuff and I cook with lots of veggies, lean meats, and fish. With exercise and healthier eating, I've lost 49 lbs. so far! I still have quite a bit to go, but its a great start and I feel so much better!
So, with cooking healthy and easy meals – I happened to stumble across this recipe and decided to give it a try. While it calls for Orzo pasta – I use whole wheat orzo and I make it in a risotto style instead of just cooking the pasta in boiling water. By adding chicken stock to the raw pasta, the pasta absorbs the flavorful liquid and makes it taste so much better and cooks it at the same time!! I hope you and your family enjoy it!!
ABC Orzo
4 pieces, boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 1″ cubes
Olive Oil, as needed
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tsp. garlic, finely chopped
1 pkg. fresh sliced mushrooms
1 cup raw orzo pasta
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 3/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1 can (10 oz.) quartered artichokes, drained
1/2 bag fresh leaf spinach (about 5-6 oz.)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1) Saute garlic and onions in olive oil over medium heat, until onions are translucent.
2) Add mushrooms and saute' about 3-4 minutes.
3) Add dried pasta and "toast" for about 2-3 minutes stirring constantly so the pasta gets toasted, but does not burn.
4) Add white wine and chicken stock. Stir frequently, allowing the pasta to absorb the liquid. Cook about 4-5 minutes. If the pasta absorbs all of the liquid and it is still hard and chewy, add another 1/2 cup of chicken stock.
5) Add chicken and cook through.
6) Add artichokes, spinach, and balsamic vinegar and stir together combining well.
7) Serve immediately.

The methods and principles stated generally in the first book, and used to theorize the facts of a particular art in the second, are here carried a stage further, and made the argument of a specific line of criticism. Anything like a critical survey of the topic was, however, no part of my intention; I merely wished to show how criticism, which assesses the merits of individual works, may derive authority from theory, which judges the nature and function of works of art as a class; a purpose which would be facilitated by attending to one particular kind of merit--and the merit of "greatness" seemed to offer favourable scope for the continuation of theory into criticism. The argument, then, was my main concern; the criticism--obviously incomplete as a survey, even of the most cursory sort--being brought in merely to substantiate it.
When the Master of Trinity honoured me with an invitation to be Clark Lecturer in 1923, this was the topic I chose. The argument I then set out, along with a good deal of its critical illustration, is here reproduced; but in a somewhat castigated form, as may be judged by the reduction of a dozen lectures to five. A short book is better than a long one. I gladly took an opportunity, offered in the following year by an invitation from Bangor, to recast my argument into closer connexion, and to condense the matter of its criticism. The Ballard Matthews Lectures which I was privileged to give last winter in the University College of North Wales are here printed almost as they were delivered.

SPIED: 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty Dualie, Chassis Cab, Others
Camo Wrap Reveals a Little More About the Big Boys
Thanks to our friendly neighborhood spy photographers, we've now got images of the 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty, but unlike before, Ford is showing off four body styles, including a crew cab dualie, a cab-and-chassis (fit with a flatbed), an extended cab, and a single cab.
The crew cab dualie spotted is wearing 19.5-inch wheels, making us pretty sure we're looking at an F-450 Super Duty. The cab looks very similar to the truck we saw last month, which isn't surprising. We are fairly sure the F-150 is donating its cab to the Super Duty, which means a huge amount of rear-seat space, but we expect the bigger truck to get its own interior styling to help it maintain its uniqueness relative to its 1/2-ton brother.
The dualie's bedsides feature prominent flares to cover the dual rear wheels, but unlike the current Super Duty's, these wheel arches are massive. The rear fenders are blockier than those of the graceful Ram 3500HD dualie, but they give the truck a muscular look, hearkening back to Ford's trucks of the 1970s and 1980s. As with all F-450s, this one is equipped with a Power Stroke diesel engine, as evidenced by the Venturi-tip exhaust. A solid-axle front and rear suspension design carries over, which will help the F-450 maintain its high payload and towing capacities.
Also seen testing were a regular cab, an extended cab, a single-rear-wheel crew cab, and a dual-rear-wheel crew cab fit with a flatbed. Each variant features clean bodysides and the blocky front end that will compose the Super Duty's new look. Up front, a very prominent Ford oval is inset between two grille bars. As we reported before, LED lighting will make an appearance in the taillights and parking lamps, with LED headlights being a possibility.
As with the 2015 F-150, the new Super Duty will wear aluminum sheetmetal in order to save weight. Given the larger body of the Super Duty, we predict weight savings of up to 900 pounds when comparing equivalent styles. Ford will also rework the interior for the larger F-Series, making it competitive with its crosstown rivals from General Motors and Ram Truck.
While a full reveal is still months away (likely at the 2016 North American International Auto Show or Chicago Auto Show), we'll be able to tell you more about the 2017 Super Duty as more of these trucks hit the road for preproduction testing. Until then, peruse the gallery of images and tell us what you think is coming for the new F-250, F-350, and F-450.

Elite Survival Systems Envoy EDC Messenger Bag5 min read
I remember buying my first messenger bag at West Virginia University bookstore in 1995. I was tired of carrying a backpack, and it was the only other real option at the time. I have carried one ever since. For academic and office related purposes, I have found nothing better for the size, convenience, and comfort. That does not mean that all messenger bags are created equal. I have worn out a few over the years, and finding a replacement for one I was happy with has been challenging at times. I have bought relatively inexpensive messenger bags I liked so much I used them past what was frankly their serviceable life, and I have bought expensive messenger bags I could not wait to rid myself of.
The Elite Survival Systems Messenger Bag is an interesting entry into the field regardless of your intent and the type of environment in which you work. There are five basic criteria upon which this bag was evaluated: Capacity and Features, Durability, Comfort, and Overall Functionality.
Capacity and Features
A messenger bag is not a rucksack, nor was it meant to be. In general, they have the capacity to carry a laptop, sometimes a tablet in addition, a few writing implements, notebooks, a book or two, and for most people, all of that 'stuff' that gets crammed in on a busy day. If you need more space than that, you need a daypack at the minimum. The Elite Survival Systems Messenger Bag has excellent capacity for its size. The main compartment is well organized and utilizes space well for its intent and purposes. There are three interior mesh pockets that provide excellent storage for things such as chargers, headphones, and in my case and extra pair or two of running socks, as that always seems to be the one piece or workout gear I manage to forget. The pouches are not too ambitious; they have a nice volume, but they do not expand into the main compartment.
The remainder of the main compartment has slots for pens and pencils, a nice size pocket for a tablet that is secured by a Velcro strap and two smaller pockets useful for things like planners or small books. If you are like me, you normally have at least three or four books in your possession, and the main compartment will accommodate that quantity happily. Elite also thoughtfully included a key hook, which I find incredibly thoughtful and useful, but I never seem to use it. The sides of the main compartment are semi-rigid, which is another excellent feature keeps the bag neatly open when you need it to be.
The computer pocket is well padded on both sides. It easily accommodates most laptops with up to a 15" monitor. It is snug, and the computer does not have much wiggle room, which is a good thing as it does not allow for unexpected and unwanted weight shift.
Elite thoughtfully included a small, easy to access pocket on the front exterior just the right size for keys, cards etc.
Finally, Elite included a well-designed holster pocket on the rear with a skeleton holster that is easily moved for comfort and convenience. It accommodates most small to medium frame handguns with ease, and leaves enough room for extra attaching pouches for extra magazines, lights, or whatever frankly, you might want to attach. It is zipper closed and easy enough to access without being an obvious holster pocket. Again, there is good padding between the computer, your sidearm, and your hip.
Finally, there is plenty of room on the exterior should you wish to attach extra pouches of any sort.
The Elite Messenger Bag is pleasantly durable inside and out. I am not easy on anything I use and for the most part, the Elite Messenger Bag does not disappoint. The heavy duty nylon exterior is reinforced on the bottom where the bag tends to get scooted around. After three months of consistent use, there was no noticeable wear to this bag. There are no snags at all to the shell. The handles and carrying strap are also touch and well-built and if the ninety day's use are any indicator, they should last years with no problem.
There is one salient improvement I would suggest, and that is eliminating the lightweight mesh on the rear of the bag. During the time I used the bag, the only damage incurred was a few snags to this material. If the user is carrying anything rigid that rubs up against this is likely to get snagged. While it admittedly provides a relatively friction free surface, its lack of durability in this department is a detractor.
If messenger bags seem to have one weakness, it's generally comfort. This seems to stem from two problems: poor strap fitting and design, and an attempt to provide too much capacity for this sort of design. Elite dodged both bullets, and this bag is quite comfortable to carry. The strap and pad are well considered and thankfully, the pad provided for the strap is adequate and has an excellent non-slip surface. The padding provided for the bag makes it comfortable to carry in just about any position. Even when fully loaded (4 books, tablet, laptop, chargers, sidearm, and various miscellaneous materials) at about twenty pounds, it is not a burden.
Overall Functionality
Overall, this bag is impressive, and Elite did an excellent design and construction job. Elite stuck with what this bag is supposed to be, a durable, well-organized, light duty office/computer bag with good concealed carry capabilities. It is comfortable to carry for long periods, and it holds just the right amount for the design. The semi-rigid walls make it easy to open and find materials, and the padding provides comfort for the user and protection for the contents. The concealed carry pocket is well and truly concealed, and in a thoughtful position to provide easy, but secure access. It is priced competitively compared to its competition at the $90 threshold. In black or grey, the Envoy is innocuous in the urban environment, but it is available in coyote as well.

As brands seek to tackle the challenge of marketing to millennials, they are discovering that it's not just a product they need to sell, but a lifestyle. The concept of a "lifestyle brand" has grown in popularity because it uniquely captures the attention of the millennial shopper. Millennials value brand and identity. They value engagement and authenticity. They want to buy from brands that speak to who they are and how they want to be perceived. Lifestyle brands are able to identify with specific subcultures: yogis, snowboarders, sophisticated career-women, outdoor adventurers, etc. and by shopping brands that reflect their respective lifestyles they are able to reaffirm who they are and how they want to be perceived.
In this post, we dig into three ways that lifestyle brands nail millennial marketing.
Lifestyle Brands Have a Clear Brand Identity
If you know someone who shops at Lorna Jane, chances are they are a fun-loving woman in their mid-twenties or thirties who loves Pilates (or yoga or TRX or aerial dance) and can often be found posting beautiful photos with captions about supporting other women. If you found yourself nodding and smiling, it's because Lorna Jane has a very clear identity.
Each and every Lorna Jane customer touchpoint weaves a compelling brand story of feminism and female empowerment through movement and nourishment. Perhaps you do daily meditations or you maybe you just really wish you did. In either case, when you stumble across Lorna Jane's Instagram, you'll begin to feel as though having that sports bra or pair of yoga pants will get you one step closer to being that person you want to be. Who knows? Maybe before long you'll be meditating and drinking kale smoothies. That sense of opportunity is exactly what makes a lifestyle brand so appealing to millennials.
Lifestyle Brands Are Authentic
Arguably the most important part of building a clear brand identity is consistently being authentic to that identity. Celebrate the customers who truly embody your brand. Show your most passionate customers using your products and allow them to interact and tell each other what your brand really stands for. A brand message is more authentic when it comes from real customers instead of the brand itself.
Helly Hansen utilizes user generated content to showcase the adventures of its brand evangelists on its homepage. Millennials pursue unique photo opportunities so they can showcase them on social media and lifestyle brands are known for collecting, curating, and displaying that content. Harness the power of experiential marketing and take advantage of FOMO by showing authentic customer experiences that their peers will want to emulate – with your product.
Lifestyle Brands Get Social (and mobile!)
Now that we know how important it is to have a clear brand identity and to stay true to it with authentic marking, how do we get the word out? Find your millennial customers where they live – on mobile – with Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook.
GoPro is a master of social media interaction. Each day, GoPro posts a "photo of the day" taken by one of its fanatical customers and gives credit to the photographer within the caption. Frequently seen re-tweeting and replying to comments on social media, GoPro knows how important this engagement is to maintaining a strong relationship and increasing brand loyalty.
Find out what customers are saying about your brand and use that as part of your brand story. Discover influencers and evangelists, identify top content, and monitor brand performance using Instagram Analytics to become part of the conversation. Engage with your customers and optimize your shopping experience for mobile.
Features like Direct Add to Cart and Mobile SDK allow customers to seamlessly purchase products while on-the-go.
Lifestyle brands have discovered the perfect recipe for creating a cult following. This style of aspirational marketing sells possibility and validation, and your brand can become an integral part of a consumer's personal brand – an indicator of belonging. Be confident in your brand identity, showcase authentic content, and engage with your most passionate customers… it's key to millennial marketing, and becoming a successful lifestyle brand.

What Happened: On February 4, Joel Kennedy came to Tupelo High School. Kennedy came to speak to all the drug education classes about different types of drugs, why people get drugged tested, and who gets drugged tested. He informed all the students that if they compete in any competitions that they have the chance to be randomly selected by a computer to be drug tested. TPSD bus drivers also have to get drug tested to protect our students.
Key Player: Kennedy is a Mississippi State University graduate. He interned for the Phoenix Cardinals and the Philadelphia Phillies. He drug tests students in Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arizona. He has been a certified athletic trainer for 25 years. He advised to students what drugs they couldn't take before athletic competitions at Louisiana State University.
They Said It: "I think Joel did a great job relating his past experiences and stories to real life examples that our students can understand" – Coach Keith
Key Moment: Kennedy told the story of Len Bias who was drafted into the NBA in 1986 by the Boston Celtics and found dead two days later from an overdose of cocaine in his dorm after his first experience with drugs at The University of Maryland. Kennedy explained to students that even on their first try they could do irreversible damages to themselves.

Education...is painful, continual and difficult work to be done in kindness, by watching, by warning,... by praise, but above all -- by example
I am always extremely grateful when an established teacher decides to open up his or her classroom to student teachers. After all, they have so many reasons not to. Student teachers are often seen as inexperienced and over-excited "noobs" who have come to mess with your classroom zen. Most of us have next to no teaching experience and we tend to make a lot of mistakes. Even as a high school student, I remember feeling peeved at student teachers for intruding on our time and treating us like their guinea pigs (to avoid this, check out my article "Tips and Tricks for Student Teachers"). Some of those teachers were never meant to teach, but others would have gone on to becoming great teaching professionals with the help of their associate (host) teacher.
Over the years, however, I have met several talented and truly wonderful teachers who are unwilling to take on student teachers. But it is exactly those teachers -- the ones who know how to lead a classroom -- that student teachers need most! We are not charity cases; established teachers can benefit from having a student teacher in many ways.
To start, having a student teacher to mentor can open up opportunities for experienced teacher to reflect on their personal growth as an educator. What makes my style of teaching so distinct? What were common mistakes I made when I first started, and what have I done to address them since then? Experienced teachers have so much knowledge and advice to offer us fledgling teachers that it really would be a shame not to share your expertise with us.
Mentoring is also a great way to practice giving good feedback. Perhaps your student teacher is already stellar, but as a great teacher you know that the biggest room in the world is always the room for improvement, so if see the potential for her to do more, then you should encourage her to push beyond the boundaries of her comfort zone. The world needs better teachers, and we should make it our responsibility to be a part of making that happen. In contrast, if your student teacher is an absolute mess, you will be doing a lot of unborn children a huge favor by preventing this individual from entering the workforce as a teacher. It just may be the case that her passions reside elsewhere, and someone needs to tell her that that's okay too.
Last but not least, mentoring is a great LEARNING OPPORTUNITY! (Yaaayy!) If you have been out in the workforce for some time, it is likely that your student teachers will have many new and innovative ideas to share about education fresh from the world of academia. Take some time to talk to your student teacher and find out what the current trends are in technology, media, and even pop culture. You might be surprised at how much your students will appreciate your Breaking Bad references in the middle of a boring math lesson. What's more, your student teacher will probably have picked up many little tips and tricks that you could incorporate into your own teaching toolbox!
The bottom line is -- don't underestimate what a mentorship experience with a student teacher can bring you. Give those who are willing to learn a chance, and never turn down the opportunity to educate.
Special thanks to the teachers who were willing to mentor me over the years (in chronological order):

CapitalRise Q&A
I first came across CapitalRise when researching Innovative Finance ISAs: they were among the first to offer a working IF ISA product. From what I saw, CapitalRise target property deals in the the high end luxury London market. This is an example of one of their latest investments, a £19million development opposite the Royal Courts of Justice in London:
I reached out to Uma Rajah, the CEO of CapitalRise, with some questions about their platform, the ISA and the investments they offer. Read more "CapitalRise Q&A"
