Dramatis Personae is an administration project conceived of and spearheaded by Actene. Put simply, the project aims to gradually catalogue all of the various characters on the wiki. This will not only improve the experience of anyone wishing to browse the wiki's vast collection of content but will also provide more publicity to articles and authors that might otherwise be lost in the thousands upon thousands of pages that have accumulated on the site.
The character catalogue can be found here.
Dramatis Personae is intended to be a long-term project that will grown and develop over time. As such, its format and methodology are bound to change as the catalogue swells. However, the base guidelines are as follows:
- All characters on the wiki meeting the minimum requirements are eligible to be indexed by the project. Any user who for whatever reason does not wish to see their characters featured may contact Actene on his talk page.
- Any user is free to contribute to the project, provided they follow the format set by the project. However, once a character has been entered in the project the only users who can edit that entry are members of the wiki administration and the author of the article in question.
- Although Dramatis Personae aims to catalogue all characters on the wiki, a certain amount of content is necessary to create a sufficient entry. Thus, there is a minimum size of approximately 1000 bytes per article.
- This project is meant for characters only. Thus, only articles describing a single individual are eligible for entries.
- Pages with unresolved NCF or Grammar tags are not eligible for entries.
- The purpose of Dramatis Personae is to provide a positive environment for anyone to browse wiki content. It is not meant to judge the overall quality of any article. Thus, descriptions of articles will remain generally neutral in tone. Descriptions that demean the article or the articles of others will not be allowed.
Dramatis Personae will be organized alphabetically by the first letter in the article title. The format for each entry is as follows:
====[[ARTICLE NAME]]==== *'''Writer —''' {{Name|USERNAME}} *'''Date of Creation —''' Month Day, Year *'''Awards —''' Any wiki awards or recognition the article has accrued. For articles without awards, this section will simply be filled with "N/A" *'''Description —''' A brief description of the character and a summary of their biography. This section will be limited to two hundred and fifty words maximum.
If a picture of the character is featured on the article, it may be included alongside the entry.

Studio One – 10 Things I Love
The 10 Things I Love About Studio One
There's so much about Studio One (a.k.a. S1) that I can write in this blog, but I don't want to bore you with all of it. I'll just mention only 10. Maybe next time I'll bore you. Let's point out the 10 things I love shall we?
1. Thumbnails: Easy for quick drop and drag techniques
2. Color Scheme: Being able to customize colors in your work station is a huge perk. I love Art so this makes sense to me.
3. Project Page: Never leave Studio One after the mix. Keep it all in the family. Mastering meters built in. Upload album art, meta data info, and all that jazz.
4. Speed: It's very important that speed is fast for getting work done and submitted to the clients asap. Also speed helps with ideas that comes crashing down my head.
5. CTC-1: I can still produce quality music behind a analog mix console. This is awesome.
6. Arranging Regions: This feature makes it easy to edit voice over content.
7. Universal Control: This DSP technology is a game changer. The ability to pre or post send FX without the need to be inside any DAW is major. Set up several headphone mix according to the musician taste when recording.
8. Rendering Plugin FX per Region: This is super amazing. I remember when I had to cut out sections of audio from one track and duplicate to extra track just to put and effect on it. I still do this from time to time depending on what I'm doing but for something quick and simple, why waist a extra track and use more computer resources to achieve this right?
9. Song Page Tabs: The option to switch between several songs load at one time has sped up my workflow because I'm a multi-tasker. Also sometimes if I'm working on a new song, I get writers block and start something new instantly.
10. Multi Midi Channels: Kontakt player is where this term is used frequently. Use up to 16 midi tracks with no issues at all. Studio One way around this technique is so much better than what I've encountered using Logic Pro.

Surviving Divorce
The Divorced and Separated Ministry is presenting a new healing program called, "
Surviving Divorce: Hope and Healing for the Catholic Family
"Surviving Divorce" was created to bring hope and healing to those who have experienced the pain and loneliness of a broken marriage. It is for the newly separated and divorced and those still struggling with issues many years later. It will help them answer their questions, restore hope, and begin authentic healing.
Developed and hosted by Rose Sweet, "Surviving Divorce" features experts Dr. Ray Guarendi, Ph.D., Fr. Donald Calloway, M.I.C., Fr. Steve Porter, S.T.L., Fr. Mitch Pacwa, S.J., and Christopher West. It also includes personal testimonies of Catholic men and women who have experienced the breakdown of their families. They courageously share their stories with heart, humor and wisdom. As they witness to their pain and the healing power of Christ in their lives, participants will laugh, cry, and identify with their journeys from heartache to healing.
The Fall 2020 series has begun. If you have questions, please contact
Lynn Gondesen at
DVD Show Summary
Part 1 - Finding Perfect PEACE
Recovery requires mental and emotional stabilization before action. Too often the divorced person wants to run from the pain either by withdrawing from or attacking life, allowing their emotions to take charge. These first four sessions point to Christ—the perfect Peace that surpasses all understanding—as the first place to begin a new life after divorce.
Session 1 - Getting Your Bearings
covers initial shock or areas in which the viewer may still be in denial, how worry and fear may be overwhelming and how God can bring full healing.
Session 2 - Finding Right Direction
reminds the viewer to avoid looking for love "in all the wrong places", how to find help in the church, and how to begin making a specific "survival plan".
Session 3 – Getting Through Your Anger
replaces the popular concept of "managing" anger to going deeper to the root causes, and showing how and when anger is not necessarily a sin and can actually be helpful.
Session 4 – Finding Perfect Peace
points to a conscious union of the cross of divorce with Christ on His Cross as a way to perfect peace, including handling the normal feelings of isolation and depression.
Part 2 - Finding Perfect POWER
Most divorced people feel powerless at the loss of a spouse, their identity, family and friends, possessions, security, and dreams. Family court can also be a place where people battle for power. But our Catholic faith teaches that true power is interior: in the counter-cultural concepts of humility, acceptance, suffering and forgiveness. Easy to say . . . hard to do! That's' where grace comes in.
Session 5 – Learning to Forgive
helps the viewer understand the difference between emotions and will, forgiveness and trust, and to choose forgiveness as the right response to the injustices of divorce.
Session 6 – Dealing with your Family
explores the common problems of being in emotional bondage to the ex-spouse, the pitfalls of parents using their children as personal lifesavers, and how to begin to depend totally on Christ above all others.
Session 7 – Handling Money Wisely
offers practical advice on reorienting the way divorced people view money (and the loss of it), how to live on a budget and how to grow in generosity.
Session 8 - Finding Perfect Power
gives insights into knowing when and when not to go to court and how to be generous with money and time, especially in sharing custody and granting visitation time with the other parent.
Part 3 - Finding Perfect PASSION
When divorced people are feeling better, they'll usually be anxious to find new love. But most people make "false gods" out of relationships that in some sense will ultimately fail them. These last shows introduce the powerful principles founding Pope John Paul II's "Theology of the Body", including the spousal analogy with Christ as the Bridegroom, the personal encounter with Christ in the sacraments, and the intimate union with Him found only in the Eucharist.
Session 9 - Seeing God in Romance
introduces how romantic relationships are only meant to mirror the more profound "courtship" and eternal marriage of Christ the Bridegroom with every human soul, and how our culture lies about that Love.
Session 10 – Relearning How to Date
advises the viewer to reconcile the broken marriage if possible and to seek an annulment if not, giving practical advice on the right way to seek a new spouse or choosing to stay single.
Session 11 – Loving All Church Teachings
challenges the viewer to open their mind to deeper truths found in the Catholic Church, to seek the gifts she offers (especially in Confession), and to desire holiness as a way of life.
Session 12 - Finding Perfect Passion
encourages the viewer to think past the divorce and more about the eternal picture, to know and love more about Jesus, and to say "Yes!" in letting Him to feed the hungry heart in the Eucharist.

Hump Day High 5!
What an exciting week it's been and it's only going to get even more exciting with Christmas just a few days away! Also, next year is looking up, because…
That's right. I'll be working for travel company Expat Explore from February next year, and I couldn't be more excited! I celebrated with a glass of prosecco whilst watching…
Harry Potter & The Cursed Child
Don't worry, no spoilers from me as I plan to #keepthesecrets. The Cursed Child is such an amazingly clever show. The cast has really brought all the characters to life,again. This show is a MUST for any Potter fan.
Christmas Walk
On Saturday I joined James's family and their friends for a Christmassy walk around London. We had drinks at The Swan, bratwursts at the Tate Xmas Market and finished with burgers (and a quesadilla for me!) at The Draft House by Tower Bridge.
During our Christmas walk I popped back to Gants Hill to Steel Beauty to get a very special tattoo. I got the word 'smile' plus a little heart which had been copied from Amy's handwriting from the last letter I received from her during her travels. It's also one of the words I most associate with Amy.
Ed's Diner
Sunday I met up with Nuraan for a much needed catch up. We headed to Ed's Diner in Liverpool Street station for burgers. I also got to have my free birthday milkshake! Sign up to Ed's Club and you can get one too! You'll also get a free burger to celebrate the anniversary of the date you signed up!
So, that was my week. What have been your #HumpDayHigh5's?
Check out last week's post.

I don't often write posts about my personal life. This is not because I am particularly coy or private – I just never feel as though this is my strong suit. I am opinionated, I like to write about issues or thoughts, but I am not a blogger. I can never fathom why anyone would be interested in my life, and to make it so takes a special skill which I do not possess. And, of course, I am very much that writer's cliché at the moment – my real life, the adventures, the triumphs and thrills are my fiction. My life, as it were, is a little on the boring side.
But when you drop off the face of the earth for more than a week and the last post in your blog is two weeks old, and couldn't be further from your current frame of mind, it begins to feel a little odd.
So here it is. Two weeks before the release of my new novella Driftwood Deeds, I found myself at home with an inconvenient stomach ache. At the time, it mostly annoyed me because it hindered productivity and I had a mountain of guest blogs to write, a blog tour to organize, interview questions to answer and some erotic stories to writes for the Dec. 1st deadline. In case you wondered, it is very hard to write those when you're in pain, especially the wrong kind, hehe.
I have a bit of doctor phobia; like many people in larger bodies, it is difficult for me to talk to them, to get adequate treatment, or really just to admit to actually being unhealthy (like everybody always tells us we are). As a fat person, you always try to be healthy and happy – because that's not quite acceptable, but a little bit more than the alternative.
So it took me a few days of squaring my fear and reluctance with the mounting pain, and when on Tuesday night last week, I couldn't get a wink of sleep because of my stomach, I finally gave up and headed for the doctor's office first thing – and before I knew what was happening, he sent me on to the hospital for admission with an extended gall bladder. After some difficulties (I'm being kind here, I went to the doctor's office at 8am and I saw the first hospital doctor at 3pm), I was given painkillers in an IV and a bed up on the third floor.
At that point, I still believed I'd be out in no time – like my GP had promised, but he'd thought my gall bladder only had to be drained, hadn't seen that it was badly infected. One night grew into two, between panic attacks and tears, and painful trips back home to feed my cat. I fetched a good book, my laptop, my kindle, the next day a second pillow, DVDs and the number of my internet service provider to get satellite internet. Plans were made to ship my cat to my mum's house. At the time, our biggest worry was that it would all be for nothing and she'd only be there for a day.
Tomorrow morning I'll have been in hospital for a week and I only know this because days have names and numbers. All sense of time somehow drifted away from me by day 2. It's easier now, I can send emails, I can take care of my day to day business. I can organize my blog tour even if writing itself is still rather challenging. And tomorrow I'll have my operation. Gall bladder removal. According to most doctors no big deal – that was before they talked about the risks and what else could happen. One actually said, he's looking forward to a not-so-boring gall bladder removal. He's welcome, I suppose.
I try to distract myself. I listen to an audiobook of A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, I watch old Veronica Mars episodes and marvel at my face in the mirror in which after a week of hardly any food consumption, my cheek-bones – puffed over after several month of depression – are starting to reappear. And isn't that just like a girl; losing weight can be the upshot to almost anything.
Now, it's just week until the release of Driftwood Deeds, and I finally have an end in sight. If there are no complications, touch (drift)wood, I should be out to enjoy the blog tour and all it's revelries from home.
Thank you to everybody who's taken the time to send me best wishes, to Alison Tyler, who extended the smut marathon deadline for me, and everybody else who is keeping me in their thoughts!

Introduction: The aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship between neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidative status (TOS), oxidative stress index (OSI), paraoxonase, and total thiol (T.thl) in schizophrenic patients compared to healthy control group and investigate the relationship between these parameters and psychopathological symptoms.
Methods: The study population consisted of 61 healthy control subjects and 64 volunteer patients monitored in the outpatient clinics of psychiatry of Antalya Education and Research Hospital. Hemograms were determined by using a fully automated hematology analyzer (Beckman Coulter LH780). Serum TOS, TAS, paraoxonase, and T.thl were measured using a novel automated colorimetric measurement method developed by Erel. Sociodemographic data forms were completed by the participants. The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) was used to assess the patients.
Results: Neutrophils, NLR, TAS, and TOS significantly increased, whereas lymphocytes, T.thl, and T.thl/OSI ratio were significantly lower in the schizophrenia patient group compared to the control group. A statistically significant positive relationship was found between PANSS positive subscale with leukocytes and significantly negative relationships were found between PANSS positive subscale with lymphocytes and T.thl/OSI ratio. Significant positive relationships were found between PANSS total subscale with leukocytes and NLR. Statistically significant negative relationships were found between PANSS total subscale with lymphocytes and T.thl/OSI ratio. In the group of patients with schizophrenia, a significant negative correlation was found between NLR with T.thl/OSI. In the group of patients with schizophrenia, a significant positive correlation was found between NLR with TOS and OSI.
Conclusion: By measuring NLR, which is simple, inexpensive, and suitable for routine use, we can obtain information about oxidative stress and psychopathological symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. Inflammation and oxidative stress are important in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia and are closely related with the patients' clinical symptoms.
Keywords: oxidative stress, antioxidant status, PANSS, schizophrenia

MILAZZO, Sicily — For Italian politicians, it's high season in Sicily.
Days before the southern island votes in regional elections on Sunday, the country's ambitious and warring political protagonists have turned it into a political theater, hoping that a good showing by their coalition partners will sway national elections set for next year.
Former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, 81, returned — with less weight, more hair and tighter skin — to his former electoral stronghold to warm his hopes of a political comeback, casting himself in a new persona as a wise old moderate for polarized times.
Another former prime minister, Matteo Renzi, whose Democratic Party is expected to lose big, braved a brief appearance on Friday despite concerns that the island's voters could dent his own political comeback. Mr. Renzi then spent the last crucial campaign days far away, meeting with Barack Obama in Chicago.
But among all the competing forces, it is the Five Star Movement's leaders, including its co-founder Beppe Grillo, who have most eagerly swarmed Sicily, looking to seize on their last and best opportunity to build momentum before national elections in early 2018.
Supporters of the idiosyncratic, ideologically amorphous populist party hope that they will win a chance to govern their first Italian region and build a reputation for governance after managerial disasters in some Italian cities.
Critics of the party across the political spectrum are treating the election as a kind of a Mediterranean Waterloo, hoping to make a stand against what they consider a conspiracy theory-prone rabble more interested in stoking anger and exercising authoritarian control than in actual governance.
"If we win in Sicily, certainly we spread the awareness throughout Italy that you can change," said Giancarlo Cancelleri, 42, the Five Star candidate for governor of the island. "These Sicilian elections will have an impact well beyond the borders of Sicily."
As the poorest region in Italy, Sicily's dense concentration of divisive issues has made it a fertile land for the Five Star Movement and its centerpiece proposal of a universal guaranteed income and its criticism of the European Union and unchecked immigration.
Rampant joblessness and corruption have led to an exodus of young people and the waves of African migration have increased anti-immigrant sentiment.
But Sicily — with 17,000 public employees — also has a deep history of relying on government jobs and contracts, a situation that some analysts still think benefits the center-right, which has a slight edge in the latest opinion polls.
All of that has made Sicily a perfect testing ground for political themes, especially on the right, where the Five Star Movement has a strong appeal.
"Politically, they are on the right," Giovanni Merrina, 54, said of the party as he watched Mr. Cancelleri speak in Milazzo, near the island's northeastern tip.
For now, almost everyone agrees, the race to become Sicily's governor has narrowed to Nello Musumeci, the candidate of a broad center-right coalition, and the Five Star Movement's Mr. Cancelleri. The final days of the race have especially inflamed the invective.
Conservative candidates have tried to stain the reputation of the Five Star Movement, pointing out an indictment of its members for forging signatures to get on election ballots and a judge's ruling that cast doubt on an online primary for excluding a candidate who didn't sign a "code of ethics."
Speaking in Palermo on Wednesday, Mr. Berlusconi proposed tougher immigration measures and a 10-year tax break for emigrated Sicilians who returned to the island. He also predicted that the national elections would come down to a choice between a united center-right and the Five Star Movement, though in his mind, it wasn't much of a choice. "Whoever votes for the Five Star Movement is a person lacking reason, who doesn't have the interest of his children and grandchildren at heart," he said.
Five Star candidates have threatened to "burn alive" a political opponent, accused the center-right candidate of being a fig leaf for an "unpresentable" rogue's gallery of corrupt politicians, and called for international observers to prevent the buying of votes.
That anger infused the Five Star Movement's campaign rally Saturday night in Catania, in the shadow of the active volcano Mount Etna, where Mr. Grillo headlined an event that featured the party's major players.
Luigi Di Maio, the Five Star nominee for prime minister next year, pitched himself as a fellow southern Italian and promised that once in power his party would "be the shield of Sicily against the madness of Brussels."
Alessandro Di Battista, the firebrand Five Star heartthrob, started slow before burning up the crowd with his list of grievances and "everything done against us" by the political establishment.
He reminded listeners that Mr. Berlusconi had supported politicians who ended up in jail because of mafia ties and he mocked politicians who remained the same despite (face) "lifting after lifting."
"But isn't it time to change?" Mr. Di Battista shouted in a vulgarity-laced speech.
Finally, Mr. Grillo outlined his sprawling vision of a future of decentralized governments, a system that he said could benefit the relatively autonomous Sicily. But first, he said, Sicilians needed to let the Five Star Movement free them from the prison of the Italian establishment and globalist interests.
Recent opinion polls suggest that Sicilians are not entirely ready to take that leap, as Mr. Musumeci, the candidate of a broad conservative coalition, has a narrow lead.
On Saturday morning, he helped open the headquarters of the right-wing Brothers of Italy party. The ceremony took place in the historic seat of the Italian Social Movement, a neo-fascist political party founded by supporters of Benito Mussolini and dissolved more than 20 years ago.
"To win in Sicily means to reserve victory in the national elections," Mr. Musumeci said in an interview as he stood on the building's balcony, under a likeness of the flame representing the Italian Social Movement.
As the chosen candidate of Mr. Berlusconi and of a coalition of center-right national politicians, Mr. Musumeci exuded confidence.
"The only people who are scared are the Grillini," he said, using a term to describe the followers of Mr. Grillo. He added that he felt a great responsibility, not only to Sicilians, but to all of Italy to stop the Five Star Movement.
"If the Grillini lose in Sicily," he said, "I believe they have no shot to win in the national elections."
With lackluster approval ratings, Sicily's current governor, Rosario Crocetta, the first openly gay governor in Italy and an anti-mafia crusader, opted not to run for re-election, under pressure from Mr. Renzi.
But the left's candidates, further weakened by infighting, have created concern that their frustrated voters might defect to the Five Star Movement.
"The center-left didn't have the courage to fight the battle I have fought in these five years," Mr. Crocetta said as he took a Saturday afternoon stroll through Catania's main square, smoking cigarettes and surrounded by bodyguards.
He chatted amiably with Five Star Movement officials setting up for the night's rally and conceded that the race had come down to Mr. Cancelleri and Mr. Musumeci.
"Unfortunately, while the Five Star Movement put their hopes in the candidate that I beat five years ago, the left decided to change their horse," he said. "When you win, you don't change horses!"
Yet on the campaign trail, many Sicilians seemed convinced that change was coming, and perhaps not just on the island.
"It's a protest vote," said Giovanni Bonaccorso, 25, as the young Five Star Movement candidates drank espresso with him and other supporters in the small seaside town of Villafranca Tirrena. "And usually who wins in Sicily wins in the country."

i have an Problem with my Ryzen7 1700X. When i'm encoding a Video with x264 or running Prime95 the CPU Speed drops perodically to 0.53 GHz. When the CPU is in Idle the CPU Speed is at 3 GHz. I think the 3 GHz for energy saving, but the 0.53 GHz is really low. When the Speed drops the CPU Usage also drops to 20 %, even with Prime95 running. Is this normal?

Digimon Savers – episode 4April 30, 2006 on 11:30 pm | In Digimon Savers | Comments Off on Digimon Savers – episode 4
"New team, first mission! Chase Drimogemon!"
I can't exactly pretend that Digimon Savers is particularly good anime yet, and I have to admit that I am actually enjoying listening to just how uninspired a lot of the voice work is in this show.
The ending is promising, however, as it implies the major change in the program's operation.
Touma and Masaru go on their first mission as a team, and they mess it up. Raramon has to use nuts shoot to defeat Numemon, leaving the pair in a spiral of shame. Shortly thereafter, Drimogemon materialises in a bank and helps some robbers drill their way to freedom.
Due to their continued incompetence, Touma and Masaru allow Drimogemon to get away. Touma shall commit the ultimate treason to catch his quarry!
Touma and Masaru are relatively quick thinkers and resourceful battlers, but their thoughts come from different places: combining them without co-ordinating them is a tragedy of mismanagement. The differences between the characters are further emphasised by an extremely obvious scene that shows Touma to be surprised and "hurt" by Masaru's close family life. I suppose that if you raise yourself as a loner rich kid, that's what you're going to be: your only friend your butler who waits outside your shower with a towel, and a digimon that's more of a slave than a companion.
The conclusion of the episode introduces the concept of the Digital Dive: the way that people can go to the Digital World. Everyone knows that the best stuff happens in the Digital World, so that's going to be good. I quite liked the suggestion that Drimogemon might rally other digimon around him in order to take on the natural order of things.
In summary, Raramon's attacks are stupid and Yoshino spends her time alone at DATS poring over cat magazines. It's a high tech scene, the night shift at DATS. Oh, you want a real conclusion? A change in location for a Digimon series is always a change for the better or the worse; normally it's a kick into high gear. So start being genuinely good, Digimon Savers, and not a throwback to my ancient history.

Where did you grow up? Where are you based now?
I grew up in Hagen, Germany. After I finished my studies in Hanover, I wanted to go out into the world and ended up in London, but I'm quite often back in Germany because of my family and friends and I'm sure I will find my way back soon.
What was the first item of clothing you ever made?
I guess it was at the age of six, when my mother explained to me how to use knitting needles. Then my dolls had to wear my creations.
What was it like to study at Hochschule Hannover?
It's almost five years since I chose to study at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hanover. At that time I was very convinced about the mixture of the teaching, from art to more industry-focused courses. When I graduated I exactly knew what I wanted to do: experimental knitwear.
Where do you start when you design a piece from scratch – what inspires you?
Often I'm directly inspired by the material itself and through experimenting with it I'm exploring the shape, volume, colour, and so on. But nature and textures are also very inspiring to me.
Can you tell us more about the designs you've entered for the Peek & Cloppenburg Designer for Tomorrow award?
I applied with my graduation collection, which was just finished at that point. So half a year of intensive work is behind it.
What did you think when you found out Stella McCartney would be one of the judges of the Designer for Tomorrow award?
I was really excited about the new patron because I'm impressed by Stella's attitude concerning sustainability.
What was it like to meet Stella McCartney?
To talk with Stella about the collection was so great and helpful. She was also very interested in me as a person, so that she could understand my designs. Her advice pushed me a lot to go further in knitwear and her tips on how to continue with the collection were very precise.
Who do you think your biggest competition is?
We are all very different but get along so well with each other. I think we are already all winners because we are able to show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin.
What are the top five things you'll be bringing with you to survive Berlin Fashion Week?
My comfortable running shoes, favourite pair of socks, helping hands, crochet and knitting needles.
And, most importantly, will you be wearing one of your own creations on the night?
That depends on whether I'll have enough time to create one more piece but I'll give it my best effort.

19 September 2019
Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of Hallows' Even or Hallows' Evening), also known as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, is a celebration observed in several countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed.

It is widely believed that many Halloween traditions originated from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain; that such festivals may have had pagan roots; and that Samhain itself was Christianized as Halloween by the early Church. Some believe, however, that Halloween began solely as a Christian holiday, separate from ancient festivals like Samhain. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or the related guising and souling), attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, as well as watching horror films.

Joanne Schneider
Born: 1942
Nationality: American
Position: President, Schneider Management CO.
Crime: Anointed as "The Woman Who Could Save Parma Heights," Joanne Schneider's Cornerstone Project was an ambitious bid to revitalize the suburb's sleepy business district with a $90 million retail and housing development. Instead, Schneider was raising money for her project through the sale of unregistered securities and promissory notes – essentially a formal version of an IOU. An extravagant groundbreaking ceremony was held on July 10, 2003 for the Cornerstone Project, but not long after, a man noticed something suspicious about his mother's finances. One of her investments was paying 18 percent interest rates, nearly four times the commercial rate. This seemed too good to be true, so the man reported Joanne to the Division of Securities, the brand of the Ohio Department of Commerce that polices stocks and bonds. The agency quickly realized the scheme and charges were filed against Schneider.
Losses: Schneider, with the help of her husband Alan, was accused of bilking nearly 740 investors out of more than $60 million.
Charges/Sentencing: Schneider initially pled guilty to investment charges and on March 12, 2009, was sentenced to three years in prison. After complaints of a lenient sentencing by victims, a state appeals court vacated Schneider's three-year sentence, and referred the case to Cuyahoga Country Prosecutors. From there, Schneider pleaded guilty to five counts of securities fraud, two counts of selling unregistered securities and one count each of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, making misrepresentations in the sales of securities, theft involving an elderly victim, and money laundering. This guilty plea carried with it up to 10 years in prison.

1 Of 5 Rules on Debt Relief,Insolvency & Bankruptcy. Be Informed & Active In Your Solution
Rule 1 of 5: On Debt Relief, Insolvency, and Bankruptcy. Be informed and Active in your solution.
Personal insolvency is here but not without detractors. It is a curious situation that whilst lenders remain silent on the new insolvency process the negative commentary on some aspects of the legislation may in fact drive people away from insolvency and into the hands of their banks without due consideration of all the options now in place to provide debt relief. The mention of Bankruptcy is enough to push many people into hopelessness. more

Samsung promises folding displays in 2015
Samsung shared the plan back in January at CES, but now we have a timeline to go with it.
The Galaxy Round may be the first curved screen smartphone in the world, but it has failed to capture the imagination of many in the tech world. Most simply can't really see why a curved screen is necessary, but bendable and folding displays are a different matter. So if curved comes first and leads us to folding, then bring on the Galaxy Round. According to the roadmap, Samsung will begin focusing on bendable displays early next year, which means we could see a bendable screened device somewhere in the latter half of 2014.
The end of 2015 marks the projected technology barrier between bendable screens and foldable screens, and will pair that breakthrough with improvements in resolution and other product innovations and refinements we can only dream about right now. The first Samsung folding screen smartphone should make an appearance by the end of 2015. Suffice it to say, your smartphone in two or three years time will have very little similarity to the ones you've been using for the last five years.
What are your thoughts on bending and folding displays? Do you think they can be introduced without massive increases to pricing?

Happy Holidays everyone! Today I thought that I would share with you how I decorated my room for the Holiday season, plus how to make some really cute DIYs I put together. If you couldn't tell already, my style is SUPER girly so I put my own little twist on the classic holiday decor. I decided to take the pink, gold, shabby chic, girly route with all of these decorations! Also, is a video I made corresponding with this post for you to watch! I am in love with how my room turned out and I hope you love it too!
Girly Table top Christmas Trees
~Hot glue
~Fake pearls
For the first tree I took different colors of ribbon and started glueing one right under the other, wrapping them around the tree in a "drooping pattern". This way, the ribbon appeared to look like ruffles on the tree.
For the second tree I took thick ribbon, all of the same color and glued it flat onto the cone. I proceeded to cover the cone in the ribbon so that the tree turned out pink.
To finish off the Ruffle tree I made a bow out of tulle and glued it to the top.
For the pink tree I made 2 bows out of white ribbon and glued one to the top of the tree and one to the bottom corner. Then I connected the bows by wrapping (and glueing) a string of fake pearls around the tree.
Here's how the ruffle tree turned out! I really like all the pastel ribbon colors that I chose. I placed it on my dresser along with a silver christmas tree to get a really pretty visual contrast. Also on the dresser I added a cute cream and gold heart box, along with a handmade bowl filled with gold, cream, and pink mini ordainments! For the finishing touch I added this mason jar snow scene that I will show you how to make!
Now the Pink Tree! I really love the fake pearls wrapped around the tree, it gives it a girly and formal feel. I placed the tree on my side table and placed lavender colored ascents around it, such as my Be Enchanted body butter from Bath & Bodywork and a hand made purple mug to add a cozy winter feeling. I also added a mini Merry Cookie candle to incorporate some holiday sprit to the side table, along with a mason jar filled with sparkling gold mini ornaments.
Mason Jar Snow Scene
~Mason Jar
~Hot glue
~Fake Pearls
First I hot glued my Jaguar to my mason jar lid (on the inside). Then I took the glitter and spread it on the inside of the mason jar to look like snow. I screwed the lid on, flipped over the mason jar, and then decorated the lid with fake pearls and a ribbon bow to give it a girly touch.
I really like how the snow scene turned out! It very different then your typical holiday snow globe, less messy because there was no water involved and more delicate because of the light shimmer the glitter (snow) gives it. I also really love the gold and cream color scheme the snow scene portrays!
Ornament Garland
~Mini or regular sized ornaments
For this Ornament garland all I did was string my ornaments onto this pretty pink ribbon and tied each one in palace. When I finished, I tied a bow at each end of the ribbon.
I hung my pink and gold garland on my wall with some lights, tinsel and my purple and silver garland on my headboard. I really love how this project is so personalized and easy to make, also it turned out more beautiful then any store bought garland I have ever seen.
Christmas Card Display
~Elmer's Glue
~Decorative clothes pins
~Decorative Paper
For the Christmas Card Display I first glued two pieces of Ribbon across the frame to hang the Christmas Cards. Then I cut to size the paper that I was going to use as the background for the display.
I put the paper in the frame, removed the glass, and taped the back on. Then, to decorate the clothes pins I dipped them in glue and then silver glitter.
I love how the Card display is so festive and Winter Themed! I hung it above my shelf where I displayed all of my winter Bath & Body Works Products along with this WINTER SHADOWBOX that I made last year, CLICK TO READ that post! Also under the shelf I placed this "Tis the Season" Snowflake Wallflower from Bath & Body Works to make my room smell amazing! I think this little corner of my room is so pretty with all the winter themed items!
I hope you enjoyed this post, tell me which DIY/ Decoration idea is your favorite! Happy Decorating!

text: I have been a fan of corner lashes for a long time. Corner lashes are eye lashes that flare out towards the outer portion of the lash band. Think Angelina Jolie's lashes. That's it. I discovered these lashes one day in Miniso a few months back (around end of July) and I have been using … Continue reading Miniso Corner Lengthening 3D Lashes

Music and singer info for HSBC's 'The Game The Ball Wants To Play' World Rugby Sevens Series TV commercial.
Song Title: On The Road Again.
Original Artist/Singer: Willie Nelson.
Download The Willie Nelson Version From: iTunes and Amazon.
HSBC's new TV advert shows a rugby balls journey around the world, on its way to fulfilling its destiny of being used in a World Rugby Sevens Series match.
Passing through such locations as Vancouver, Paris, London, Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Cape Town, Wellington, Sydney and Las Vegas, the ball has decided 'This Is The Game I Want To Play'.
The song playing in this commercial is 'On the Road Again' which was written and recorded by the American country music singer Willie Nelson.
Although the version we hear in the ad sounds very similar to the original, I'm not actually convinced it's Willie Nelson performing this one.
This may be either a little-known existing cover of On The Road Again, or a new version recorded especially for this HSBC ad campaign. We'll update this page with further details if and when they're released.
The above 60-second video was uploaded to the official HSBC YouTube channel on the 25th of January, 2017 and should begin airing on TV any day now.

In this episode, I ask Dr. Epperly if he's "saved." The ensuing conversation covers how we imagine the afterlife, and can it have this-worldly consequences? Is survival after death the most important thing in life, or is this life our calling, with survival after death a lesser motivation? Is our survival individual and grounded in one particular religion, or is it relational and potentially universal? Does the fear of hell square well with a God of love?
There are intimations throughout that we must examine the possibility of universal salvation–and we will–next week.

Megan Fletcher, instructed by Hardeep Dhaliwal of Duncan Lewis Solicitors, represented her client at his sentencing hearing. He had pleaded guilty at PTPH to one count of conspiracy to defraud banking and insurance institutions and one count of entering into or becoming concerned in a money laundering arrangement. Businesses were set up and numerous insurance policies were taken out on the business premises, including policies covering loss of earnings. Water pipes were subsequently manipulated in the premises and false claims were made on the policies for water damage and loss of earnings.
The conspiracy ran for around 5 years and resulted in a total loss of about £944,000. Megan's client and another also falsely obtained credit from American Express in the sum of around £90,000.
The Prosecutor submitted that all defendants should be sentenced on the basis of the global conspiracy. Megan successfully argued that her client should be sentenced on the basis of his personal involvement, which was limited on the Crown's evidence to only one of the five premises and therefore to £83,000 of the fraud. He also falsely received approximately £19,000 credit from American Express.
Megan was instructed in this matter the day before the sentencing hearing, and was able to quickly understand the extensive evidence and her client's role within the conspiracy. She identified that her client was the youngest of the conspirators and involved in the lowest value substantive fraud within the conspiracy, with no evidence of any knowledge of the wider criminality. Megan put forward succinct but powerful personal mitigation and requested that the Judge follow the recommendations of the Pre-Sentence Report, taking her client outside of the Sentencing Guidelines.
In sentencing, the Judge commented that the personal mitigation had persuaded him to reduce the sentence of imprisonment to one which could be suspended, and went on to do so. Her client received a total of 20 months' imprisonment, suspended for 2 years, along with an unpaid work requirement. Of the 5 defendants sentenced today, Megan's client was the only one not to receive an immediate custodial sentence.

The Systems That Facilitate Payment Processing
Business people in the e-commerce sector use global payment processing to run their businesses. Different states have different payment methods. It is crucial that you consider international payment processing if you plan to deal with orders throughout the world. The global payments are localized, in that merchants sell their products globally while buyers pay locally. To maximize the products sales there is need to provide your customers correct payment methods. You need to provide localized payments so that you can capture more sales and build a long-term relationship with your customers.
The global payment processing comes in many forms. Some countries prefer pay-per-credit cards, others use bank transfers and other use both credit cards and bank transfers. The card discount fees, direct debit fees, and bank transfers are different from one country to another. Since customers look for quick payment options that are fast and available; you should offer them various payment processing methods.
Whether you are operating an online or offline business, payment processing is a crucial factor for maximizing your sales. Global payment processing can assist you to track and manage different modes of payment. The benefit of a merchant account is that it will help you offer automated payment system, online reporting, and recurring billing among others. For those who use international money transfers there are two costs involved, that is the service to transfer the money and the cost of converting the money from one currency to the preferred one. There are many ways which are safe to use when making an international money transfer.
The first method is through banks being among the common means of sending money. They are the best options to transfer a vast amount of cash due to the security. It is good to note that banks do not charge the same amount in international money transfers. The foreign exchange brokers can also help you with the transfer. They serve as representative to both the banks and the customers. They attempt to offer the best competitive rates to trade the currencies, and typically, they have relationships with various banks. Most of the time those who use the foreign exchange services are those purchasing property abroad.
Third option is using the money transfer which is more affordable compared to other options. The money transfer providers utilize the bank to bank transfers but add other methods of obtaining the money such as having pick up office. Online money transfer providers are the most affordable type of international money transfer, but they still make profits out of it. The use different operation methods. Online transfers make it safe for people to send and receive money since they use current technology to make it safe. You should compare the money transfer market.

CLEMSON, S.C. (CBS Sports) - Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawerence and his girlfriend, Marissa Mowry, tried to do something positive for victims of the global coronavirus pandemic by setting up a GoFundMe account in an attempt to raise money, but a temporary stop sign was put up before the fundraiser could get doing. The State had originally reported on Tuesday that the page was shut down due to NCAA rules.
However, the NCAA issued a statement Tuesday afternoon denying that the organization itself asked Lawrence and Mowry to take it down. The State subsequently clarified that Clemson compliance told Lawrence to take down the page.
"The NCAA did not ask Trevor Lawrence to take down his fundraiser for COVID-19 patients and their families," the NCAA said in a statement. "We continue to work with member schools so they have the flexibility to ensure that student-athletes and communities impacted by this illness are supported, and we applaud Trevor for his efforts."
The Clemson athletic department was contacted late Tuesday afternoon by the NCAA and told that it will allow Lawrence and other athletes to raise money for charities during the pandemic.
"Shout out to the NCAA. Thank y'all so much for granting a waiver," Lawrence posted Tuesday night on his Instagram page. "They're allowing us to continue to raise money for what we were doing originally. So we're gonna take some time and kind of think about how we're going to restart it back up."
The NCAA statement came after Mowrey posted a video on her Instagram page stating that rules prevented the star quarterback from participating in the fundraiser.
"Unfortunately Trevor cannot be a part of this anymore due to compliance and some rules, so he can't help out anymore," Mowry said in the video. "And also we have to take down the GoFundMe page. So we just want to apologize and say that we are really sorry if you thought that your money was going to go to a direct family, because it no longer can."
Lawrence appeared in a longer version of the video that was posted to Mowrey's Instagram story and commented further on the situation.
"Despite all of the craziness and drama with that, we were able to raise a little over $2,500. So all of that's going to go to Meals on Wheels and No Kid Hungry, which is super awesome," Lawrence said in the video, which will disappear after 24 hours. "Thank you guys, all of y'all that donated. It's really much appreciated. It's going to help some kids and some elderly [people] somewhere, so it's going to be very helpful. So we really appreciate y'all. Sorry for all of the drama and all of the confusion, but we got it worked out."
The page, called "Love One Another," stopped receiving donations on Tuesday after raising $2,670 for COVID-19 family relief and support. Mowry said in the video that the money will instead be donated to non-profit organizations.
"Our intentions were to try to help everyone and that's changed a little bit," Mowry said. "But we are still going to do our best to love on y'all and support one another during this hard time."
It's unclear if the money that already has been raised will still be donated to the two charities or be distributed to COVID-19 family relief -- as initially intended.
More than 400,000 people worldwide have been infected by COVID-19 pandemic, according to Johns Hopkins, including more than 50,000 in the United States. More than 18,000 people have died.

DALLAS, TX – As the official start of fall is upon us, it's the perfect time to take advantage of the mild weather, get a glimpse of the changing fall foliage, attend autumn events and experience unique hotels.
Whether you yearn to broaden your horizons culturally, bask in front of a fireplace with a good book, or indulge yourself with luxuries beyond compare – use the next few months to experience this season's best destinations.
Hotels.com has released a list of the top 10 fall destinations, which consists of U.S. and international locations. European locations include destinations such as Florence and Berlin, which ranked on the Hotel Price Index as two of the most popular international destinations for American travelers in 2015.
Drink beer at Oktoberfest in Berlin, dabble in the variances of cheese at a Hungarian festival, or glide on the ice of New York's Rockefeller Center — the options are limitless.
Ten hotels worldwide have been named the best destinations for fall, and the full list can be found below:
Snuggle up and Settle in
XV Beacon; Boston, MA
This hotel is complete with cashmere throws, gas fireplaces and rainforest showerheads in every room. The Fifteen Beacon Hotel in Boston is known not only for its homey and historic aesthetic but also for its extensive art collection. Roman mosaics, portraits from Gilbert Stuart and works by painter Maggi Brown greet you as you walk in the lobby.
Private and Discrete Getaway
The Surrey; New York, NY
This Upper East Side getaway was built to mimic the private and discrete atmosphere celebrities like JFK, Bette Davis, and Claudette Colbert cherished in the original residential Surrey built in 1926. Now incorporating a modernized upgrade, the Surrey will let you retreat from the public eye but maintain a high-profile lifestyle and revel in luxuries galore.
Modern History
Buddha-Bar Hotel Budapest Klotild Palace; Budapest, Hungary
This 100-year-old Klotild Palace housed the first elevator in Hungary over 100 years ago.

The Buddha-Bar Restaurant, Buddhattitude Spa, and Klotild Bar and Lounge give guests the chance to unwind and relax.
Empress Approved Accommodations
Villa Cora; Florence, Italy
Original frescoes, lavish gardens, private guesthouses and bourgeois style accommodations of the 19th century are just a few elegancies that make the Villa Cora an exceptional hotel. These hotel luxuries even enticed the ex-empress Eugenia, widow of Napoleon III, who stayed in the hotel when visiting Florence.

David Jackson makes a nifty case for Yahoo! buying Six Apart, and also links to a Mary Meeker investment report on RSS and blogging which I've just printed out and will consume at my leisure (note to Meeker: don't use columns in PDF files, as I have to scroll down and up again to read them onscreen, hence the print-out).
Jackson makes the point that what Yahoo! would be buying with Six Apart is not the technology itself – they're perfectly capable of building something themselves – but the network of existing blogs in the MovableType/LiveJournal universe. In the old days, they'd call this "buying an audience", but this is something much more complicated. What they'd actually be buying is the right to put their ads on the blogs in that universe.
This seems to be an interesting power-reversal. Suddenly, bloggers are valuable because they've created real estate, and just like the side of a building is valuable to a billboard company, so this real estate is valuable to the Googles and Yahoo!s of this world. Jackson argues that the demand for text ads is "exceeding supply", which is probably true. If it is true, it suggests that bloggers are busy building real estate which can almost instantly be monetised. They're a bit like Dutch engineers reclaiming land from the sea. When I publish a blog, I add to this real estate, as I do every time I post something.
So, like the universe, the blogosphere expands and expands, possibly infinitely. But what's it expanding into?

Bruno Langley: Todd will wreak havoc
- Bang Showbiz
- 30 October 2013
Bruno Langley says his 'Coronation Street' character Todd Grimshaw isn't a nice guy anymore and will "wreak havoc" when he returns to Weatherfield
Coronation Street's Todd Grimshaw returns to Weatherfield to "wreak havoc".
The gay lawyer sets his sights on Marcus Dent (Charlie Condou) and won't let his girlfriend Maria Connor (Samia Ghadie) get in the way of what he wants as Bruno Langley - who is reprising his role as Todd - says his character has changed.
He explained: "Todd has his eye on Marcus and he's out to get what he wants.
"He likes a challenge and I guess he's probably one of those people who likes the drama of splitting couples up.
"It's all for his own ego and just to prove that he can.
"People know Todd as a nice guy but he must have been hurt in some way in a past relationship and that's why he is like he is now.
"Todd's come back to wreak a bit of havoc."
And Todd also plans to string along Marcus' ex-lover Sean Tully (Anthony Cotton), who lives with his mum Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver).
Bruno added to RadioTimes.com: "Todd can be very charming when he wants to be and has a way of being able to get people on his side. He's very clever and can turn things around so that the other person thinks it's their fault.
"He's quick on his feet with his answers and he knows that Sean fancies him, so he uses that against him.
"And it will be Sean that Bruno uses to persuade his mum to let him stay -- and cause trouble.
"He manipulates Sean. Nice Todd has well and truly gone."
However, one person who Todd can't win over is his brother Jason (Ryan Thomas).
Bruno said: "Jason has his doubts about Todd's intentions.
"Jason's questioning why Todd is staying around and why he's acting so horribly. He's always had a problem with Todd being the golden boy, but I think that could all change. The tables have turned... "

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that Harry Kane is carrying a hamstring injury which will rule him out of their visit to Manchester United on Saturday (28 October).
Kane scored twice in last Sunday's 4-1 victory over Liverpool at Wembley Stadium but left the pitch clutching his hamstring with two minutes of the match remaining. Mauricio Pochettino sought to ease concerns over an injury in his post-match interview, insisting his striker was "tired".
The England international was one of a handful of key senior players omitted from the first-team squad in mid-week as Spurs crashed out of the Carabao Cup courtesy of a fourth-round collapse against West Ham United.
In an injury update produced on Friday morning, Tottenham confirmed that Kane "underwent assessment and investigation earlier this week" which confirmed a "minor strain" in his left hamstring.
Speaking at a subsequent press conference, Pochettino confirmed the knock means the 24-year-old will have no role to play at Old Trafford. It also leaves him a doubt for Wednesday's Champions League showdown against Real Madrid.
"We cannot take a risk for tomorrow, we'll see after for Wednesday," Pochettino said. "But tomorrow, it is impossible."
Kane has scored 13 goals in 12 appearances for his club so far this season. Fernando Llorente is expected to fill in for the 24-year-old as he did on Wednesday night against West Ham. Pochettino opted to replace the Spaniard after 72 minutes despite the fact his side were chasing a goal having fallen behind against the Hammers; an early indication that the Spurs manager would be looking to him to lead his attack on Saturday.
Victor Wanyama meanwhile is still unavailable due to a knee problem which has prevented him from playing since mid-August. The Kenyan international travelled to see a specialist last week but it remains to be seen how long he will be sidelined for.
United host Spurs with both sides tied on 20 points from nine games, five adrift of leaders Manchester City.

The start list for the second edition of America's newest and fastest growing mountain bike stage race, the Trans-Sylvania Epic presented by NoTubes, may be the most competitive yet assembled for a North American stage style competition. While doubling in numbers from 2011's inaugural edition, the fields on the men's and women's sides of this Pennsylvania race are filled with US Pro and World Cup XC, endurance and stage racing experience. It's on this week. Check back here to see the latest results.
2010 TSEpic men's champion Jeremiah Bishop and second overall Alex Grant (Cannondale Factory Racing), Barry Wicks and Kris Sneddon (Kona), Jason Sager (Jamis) and Drew Edsall (Super Cool Bike Shop / Firstplaceracing) bring thousands of kilometers of stage race experience and success with them to the line. Bishop is riding a string of seven consecutive US stage race victories and is returning to Trans-Sylvania to run his total to eight in a row. While Wicks and Sneddon took top honors in the duo category at last year's TransRockies and BC Bike Races at the TSEpic the Kona men will face off against each other and the rest of this talented field. Sager's 2010-11 seasons have included many of the world's top stage events and Edsall followed up a fourth in the inaugural TSEpic with a second at the Pisgah Stage Race last fall.
