Mobcraft, a brewery that began in Madison, is now a local staple in Milwaukee. With an ever-changing menu and customer participation, this brewery stands high on my list of favorites. Offering tours on Fridays and Saturdays, you can learn the story of Mobcraft and sample beer. At the end, everyone is welcome to submit a suggestion for what they'd like to be brewed next. From there, a winner is selected and that's when the magic happens. That is how my beer, 'I Love You Berry Much', came to life. My strawberry rhubarb sour they created is the perfect amount of sweet with a slight bitterness. As a tour winner, I got ten free glasses on the release day, so I brought some of my girls (and boys) and we enjoyed some tasty beer. Beyond 'I Love You Berry Much', they currently have great summer options, my favorite being Sour Support. It is important to note that while I have only discussed sour beers, there are endless options and something for everyone. Mobcraft is the place to go if you always want to have something new to sip.
Looking for a bite to eat? Mobcraft often has a food truck parked outside or, during the week days, buy a pretzel, regular or fam size, whatever your preference may be.
Their taproom and brewery share a space, giving customers a look into daily operations or just a great place to grab a beer with friends. Garage doors open during nice weather to provide more space and create an interactive atmosphere. Inside, there are old couches and chairs for a comfy seat, barrel tables for standing, or picnic tables for larger groups. And they aren't short on activities either; play some pong, bags, or grab a board game.
I'm going to keep this short and sweet because you really need to just go check this place out for yourself (and, obviously, try my strawberry rhubarb sour while you're at it).

Kendall Jenner Leaning On Motivational Guru Tony Robbins After Pepsi Ad Pulled
Kendall Jenner sure could use some kind words right now after getting slammed so hard for her 'tone deaf' Pepsi ad. HollywoodLife.com has learned EXCLUSIVELY that she's leaning on motivational speaker Tony Robbins to help get her through this crisis.
Yikes! Kendall Jenner's flawless image took a major dent this week when she starred in a Pepsi ad that was accused of taking cultural appropriation from the Black Lives Matter protests. The backlash was so powerful and ugly that the soda company pulled the ad altogether to make the controversy finally die down. To cope with all of the haters that came after her, the model is turning to a powerful family friend, self-help guru Tony Robbins, 57. "Kendall is leaning on Tony to best navigate through the Pepsi backlash. Kris [Jenner] reached out to Tony as soon as she realized there was a crisis on hand," a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
"He's helping Kendall turn this poison into medicine and reassuring her that she can transform all this negativity into something positive and uplifting," our insider continues. She's never suffered such a humiliating public backlash like this, so all of the anger directed towards her is something new for the reality star to deal with. Kendall became the butt of so many jokes that all it would take to stop police brutality is the model handing a can of Pepsi to a cop blocking a protest.
Kendall Jenner's Pepsi Ad — See Pics
"He's also been reminding her to look at the big picture and to remain in gratitude," our source adds. What perfect advice, because this is just going to end up being a small blip in her otherwise amazing career. People will quickly forget her part it in and remember that it's Pepsi's brand that really got dinged in the advertising debacle. The company is going to keep taking the jokes and memes that their product can stop violent conflict, while Kendall's role in it is already fading away. She jetted off to Paris Apr. 6 to put this mess behind her and move along with her red-hot modeling career.
HollywoodLifers, do you think Kendall's image was badly hurt by the Pepsi ad? Or do you think people are over it already?

The Integrated HRP/RCMP General Investigations Section (GIS) has charged a male in relation to a robbery that occurred at Lawton's Drug Store in Upper Tantallon.
On May 8th, the Halifax RCMP/HRP Integrated GIS released photos of a suspect in the robbery that occurred on May 4th at 6:38 p.m.
at Lawton's Drugs Store on St. Margaret's Bay Road. A lone male suspect entered the store and threatened a female employee with a syringe/needle. He demanded that she hand over prescription drugs. The employee complied and the suspect fled the store. A police service dog assisted the officers but the man could not be located. Police believe the man got into a car. No one was injured.
On May 17th, RCMP were in the Hubley Center Parking lot and observed what he believed to be the suspect's car. An officer conducted a traffic stop and arrested the male driver. The Integrated HRP/RCMP GIS unit later executed a search warrant at a residence on Highway 329 in Mill Cove and seized items related to the investigation.
Michael Tristan Charles Evans, 26, is facing charges under the Criminal Code charges including Robbery and Possession of a Weapon for Dangerous Purpose. He has been remanded to court until his next court appearance.

- The Los Blancos are weighing up an offer for Lukaku to fill the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo
Spanish side Real Madrid are reportedly seeking to sign Manchester United forward, Romelu Lukaku, in a stunning swap deal.
According to reports in Spain, the Belgian star was lambasted for his below the par performances last campaign but still showed flashes of brilliance in his first season at Old Trafford, scoring 27 goals.

The former Chelsea forward maintained his form during the just concluded FIFA World Cup in Russia, netting four goals to help Belgium's Red Devils claim a bronze medal after finishing third.

Lukaku's impressive form has led to speculation over his future as the Los Blancos are eager to reinforce their frontline ahead of the new season.
The departure of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo to Serie A champions last week has left Galaticos new manager Julen Lopetegui in desperate mood to bring in quality replacement before the start of the new campaign.
Reports coming out of the Spanish capital suggest the Los Blancos are weighing up an offer for Lukaku to fill the void left by Ronaldo as they prepare for the new campaign after a disappointing domestic season.

According to the Daily Star, the Galaticos are ready to use Wales captain Gareth Bale as bait to convince Red Devils eggheads to accept their offer.
The former Tottenham ace has been repeatedly linked with a move to the English topflight no thanks to the 'bombshell' he dropped after the UEFA Champions League final in Kiev last May.
The Welshman hinted he was experiencing lack of game time at the Santiago Bernabeu and could seek an exit this summer.
PAY ATTENTION: Become a member of the leading sports Facebook group 'TUKO Michezo'
Previously, the Red Devils have tried to sign Bale in the past and looks likely to be the 29-year-old preferred destination if he decides to quit the Spanish topflight.
However, Don Balon added that Los Blancos president Florentino Perez has informed Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho that unless he sacrifices Lukaku he cannot stands any chance of signing Bale this summer.

World War II
World War II (often abbreviated to WWII or WW2), also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. The vast majority of the world's countries-including all the great powers-eventually formed two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. A state of total war emerged, directly involving more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. The major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. World War II was the deadliest conflict in human history, marked by 50 to 85 million fatalities, most of whom were civilians in the Soviet Union and China. It included massacres, the genocide of the Holocaust, strategic bombing, premeditated death from starvation and disease, and the only use of nuclear weapons in war.
The war in Europe concluded with an invasion of Germany by the Western Allies and the Soviet Union, culminating in the capture of Berlin by Soviet troops, the suicide of Adolf Hitler and the German unconditional surrender on 8 May 1945. Following the Potsdam Declaration by the Allies on 26 July 1945 and the refusal of Japan to surrender under its terms, the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 and 9 August respectively. With an invasion of the Japanese archipelago imminent, the possibility of additional atomic bombings, the Soviet entry into the war against Japan and its invasion of Manchuria, Japan announced its intention to surrender on 15 August 1945, cementing total victory in Asia for the Allies. Tribunals were set up by fiat by the Allies and war crimes trials were conducted in the wake of the war both against the Germans and the Japanese.
World War I had radically altered the political European map, with the defeat of the Central Powersґincluding Austria-Hungary, Germany, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire-and the 1917 Bolshevik seizure of power in Russia, which eventually led to the founding of the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, the victorious Allies of World War I, such as France, Belgium, Italy, Romania and Greece, gained territory, and new nation-states were created out of the collapse of Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman and Russian Empires.
In the mid-to-late 1930s, Japanese forces in Manchukuo had sporadic border clashes with the Soviet Union and Mongolia. The Japanese doctrine of Hokushin-ron, which emphasised Japan's expansion northward, was favoured by the Imperial Army during this time. With the Japanese defeat at Khalkin Gol in 1939, the ongoing Second Sino-Japanese War and ally Nazi Germany pursuing neutrality with the Soviets, this policy would prove difficult to maintain. Japan and the Soviet Union eventually signed a Neutrality Pact in April 1941, and Japan adopted the doctrine of Nanshin-ron, promoted by the Navy, which took its focus southward, eventually leading to its war with the United States and the Western Allies.
On 10 June, Italy invaded France, declaring war on both France and the United Kingdom. The Germans turned south against the weakened French army, and Paris fell to them on 14 June. Eight days later France signed an armistice with Germany; it was divided into German and Italian occupation zones, and an unoccupied rump state under the Vichy Regime, which, though officially neutral, was generally aligned with Germany. France kept its fleet, which the United Kingdom attacked on 3 July in an attempt to prevent its seizure by Germany.
The diversion of three quarters of the Axis troops and the majority of their air forces from France and the central Mediterranean to the Eastern Front prompted the United Kingdom to reconsider its grand strategy. In July, the UK and the Soviet Union formed a military alliance against Germany The British and Soviets invaded neutral Iran to secure the Persian Corridor and Iran's oil fields. In August, the United Kingdom and the United States jointly issued the Atlantic Charter.
In May 1945, Australian troops landed in Borneo, over-running the oilfields there. British, American, and Chinese forces defeated the Japanese in northern Burma in March, and the British pushed on to reach Rangoon by 3 May. Chinese forces started a counterattack in the Battle of West Hunan that occurred between 6 April and 7 June 1945. American naval and amphibious forces also moved towards Japan, taking Iwo Jima by March, and Okinawa by the end of June. At the same time, American submarines cut off Japanese imports, drastically reducing Japan's ability to supply its overseas forces.

Direct Cremation
Direct cremation, sometimes known as cremation without ceremony, gained a higher profile when, after his death in 2016, it was reported that David Bowie had opted for this less conventional alternative.
So, what is direct cremation? It's a simple, no-frills type of funeral, with no service, and a committal taking place with no mourners present. It has the advantage of being significantly cheaper than a conventional service, plus it gives family and friends more freedom to decide when, where and how they would like to commemorate the life of the deceased.
What's the difference between cremation and direct cremation?
In a traditional cremation, the body of the departed is taken into the care of funeral directors where it may be visited by close friends or relatives. There is a service of remembrance – usually at the crematorium, where family and friends gather to remember their loved one on the day.
In a direct cremation, much of that process is dispensed with. After the funeral directors have taken the departed into their care, the body is placed into a simple casket, without preparation. Family and friends are unable to visit their loved one at the chapel of rest. The casket is transported to the crematorium and cremated without a service.
You will still need to carry out certain duties even with a direct cremation, such as organising paperwork like the death certificate. Your funeral director will help with these, and you can also find out more about making funeral arrangements.
You can still collect the ashes after the cremation. If your loved one has not given instructions, you may want to take a look at our article what to do with ashes after cremation.
How much is a direct cremation?
As it's a simpler process, with many of the more expensive elements of a traditional cremation removed, direct cremation can cost between a third to a half1 of what you might pay for a more conventional funeral. Though prices can differ across the country and between funeral directors.
Why choose direct cremation?
The costs of funerals have been rising in recent years, and can put a strain on any family budget, so the lower cost of a direct cremation may be a consideration for many.
But there are also other reasons why some might prefer direct cremation.
A traditional cremation will usually have to be planned around the schedule of the crematorium. Removing that restriction allows for friends and family to plan a celebration of their loved one's life at a time, pace and place of their own choosing.
There are also the emotional strains of a standard funeral service. Many people find the actual service difficult and emotionally draining. Quite often, the planning and paperwork required will put such a strain on the immediate family straight after the passing of their loved one that the service and wake seem like a blur. Lessening the importance of the cremation itself, and putting the emphasis on remembering the departed in your own time may be a better option for some.
And then there are some, reportedly like Bowie2 himself, who just prefer to avoid all the fuss of a formal, ceremonial funeral service.

Who receives more publicity and name recognition in 2016 than sports figures or candidates for the coming US election? Are prominent people covered by media paying enough attention to our collective future? When has Earth been so stressed by weather events as in the present century?
The September 1994 Spanish ADVENIAT newspaper from San Antonio carried a headline:
"WHAT IF EARTH BECOMES UNINHABITABLE?" (Que pasará si la tierra no fuera habitabile?)
Elected officials from North Carolina and Florida have passed laws against scary words. They have scrubbed use of climate change, global warming or any such terms that hint of impending environmental problems.
Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell said, "Carbon dioxide is not poison. It's something we breathe out" in a Washington DC session on EPA emissions rule (ADVOCATE, April 17, 15). How blind can some officials be when the subject is burning fossil fuels?
Two reflective individuals were trying to gain our attention over one century ago. Svante August Arrhenius (1859-1927) is the Swedish founder of physical chemistry who cautioned in the 1890's our unrestricted burning of fossil fuels will eventually wreak havoc on Earth.
George Perkins Marsh (1801-1882) could be considered the first US "conservationist." In 1847, he predicted there would be human-induced climate change. John Muir (1838-1914) founded the Sierra Club which remains the largest conservationist group in the USA with 700,000 members.
Espen Stoknes recently wrote What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming. The book is a psychological examination of our response to a historical certainty as Earth heats up.
May 6, 2015 instruments in the Mauna Loa laboratory in Hawaii indicated carbon dioxide emissions surpassed 400 ppm (parts per million) for one entire month in 2015, also the warmest year in history.
Over 400 glaciers are melting away globally. Not least, warming, acidification, plastic pollution (please visit www.5gyres.org for more info on plastic pollution) and rising levels, now certain and observed, are measured in our ocean. Scientific conclusions among 97% of researchers are still being challenged by increasing resistance on the part of obtuse elected officials and corporate CEO's in the 21st century.
Ironically, the Pentagon issued a report on February 25, 2004 warning that "global warming is a greater threat than terrorism." When the world's largest naval base in Norfolk, VA is being enveloped by a rising, warming Atlantic, Defense Department leaders quickly perceived a global security issue.
Will we pay attention to conservationist prophets, or chose to live like the last generation by our refusal to progress in non-carbon, renewable energy sources? The prophet's responsibility is "to give them a warning." (Ezekiel 3:16) Were not weather events of 2015 nature's stern warnings?
2015 was another dramatic, costly, climate revelation to all who are visiting Earth.

The influential Congolese musician Papa Wemba has died aged 66 after collapsing during a concert.Video from the show in Ivory Coast showed him slumped on stage behind a group of dancers, before they rushed to his aid.
His pioneering blend of African, Cuban and Western sounds became one of Africa's most popular music styles.
Wemba also toured around the world, and recorded with British artist Peter Gabriel.
"I would put him in the same bracket as Fela Kuti when it comes to influence on African music," said DJ Edu, BBC 1xtra's African Music Ambassador.
The musician fell ill in the early hours of Saturday morning. The cause of his death has not been established.
He died before he could be brought to hospital, a spokesman for the Ivosep morgue in Abidjan told Reuters news agency.
Born in 1949, Wemba, whose real name was Shungu Wembadio Pene Kikumba, began his singing career in religious choirs.
He helped modernise Congolese rumba music, with the genre that emerged – soukous – influencing music across Africa.
Together with his bands Zaiko Langa Langa, Isifi and Viva La Musica, he racked up hit after hit, including L'Esclave and Le Voyageur.
He appeared in two feature films, Life Is Beautiful (1987) and Wild Games (1997).
Influence on fashion
Wemba was also a style icon, the driving force behind the cultural movement the Sapeurs, whose young men spend vast amounts on designer clothes.
On his look, Wemba told CNN he in turn was inspired by his parents getting dressed up on Sundays. They were "always well put together, always looking very smart", he said.
In 2004, he was convicted of people-smuggling in France and spent three months in prison.
The conviction related to a racket whereby illegal immigrants were taken to Europe posing as members of his band.
A Belgian court convicted him of the same crime in 2012, handing down a fine of €22,000 (£17,143; $24,690) and suspended prison sentence of 15 months.
He was also once jailed in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo) for allegedly having an affair with a general's daughter.
Tributes to 'icon'
Congolese President Joseph Kabila has expressed his condolences, and there are likely to be large events paying homage in the coming days.
Congolese Culture Minister Baudouin Banza Mukalay called his death a "great loss for the country and all of Africa", Associated Press reported.
DJ Edu: 'We have lost a golden voice'
GUESS IYKE's COMMENT: Sad loss for music and the Congolese. May his soul rest in peace

I will definitely watch them. Whao! Mr. Bob, I'm really blown away. You know, people say that nothing is free, but you have grossly broken this law with all these ideas that you give freely. I can not say but I am grateful. Particularly on Idea numbers 4.6 and 7. I read your article on how to make money blogging and really, giving freely all these steps is very cool. Dear Sir, because I know people who sell almost all the information they have.
The quantity of wood sold varies a lot. Even the same types of wood products can be sold at very different prices, depending on how they are made and where they are sold. For example, Svetulka on Etsy sells children's signs for between $ 19 and $ 73 depending on the number of letters and the finish. Kolorize reports similar signs between $ 68 and $ 163 on the same site. When deciding on the price of their wood products, business owners must consider the cost of materials, their hourly wages and all sales expenses. for example, shipping to a store.
To compete with the bigwigs, one would have to find a unique angle, like personalization or say something they would never print on a panel sold at Target. TrimbleCrafts over 17,000 sales has so many funny signs that I do not know where to start! This shop is a great example of how to combine craftsmanship with a well-developed sense of humor. Something I like in this shop is how many signs are quite similar in size and style, leaving buyers more free to focus on choosing a message and colors and probably more containers and weights for the seller.
A portfolio of good designs or photos of the products you can build must be in place for the advertisements in order to attract more customers. If you are removing a brick and mortar store to save on costs, it is essential to have a good website with some of your best products, testimonials if possible and models that you can produce with your coordinates. Internet marketing is cheaper and you can reach a greater number of people who would be looking for choices on the internet.
Buy tools with segmented spiral cut heads or enhance your existing tools with new cutting heads. I tried a Byrd Shelix cutting head in one of my joinery about 3 years ago on the recommendation of another carpenter and within a few months all my primary woodworking machines had Shelix cutting heads, there including strawberries for my shaper. They reduce wrenching, are quieter and save time on sanding and finishing.

A few years ago, I started making my own beeswax candles - because they were so expensive to buy. In the learning process, I found that there are many people who use candle making as a home-based business.

86.3. The saw must be appropriate for the job. For example, it is dangerous to tear with a table saw not equipped with an anti-rebound device. Kickback aprons are recommended. The dangerous practice of removing a hood guard due to the close clearance on the side of the dipstick can be avoided by squeezing a filler panel on the table between the dipstick and the saw and using it to guide the stock.
Surface finish. The surface finish may involve the use of a wide variety of coverings. These coatings are applied after product assembly or in a flat line operation prior to assembly. The cladding may normally include fillers, stains, varnishes, sealants, lacquers, paints, varnishes and other finishes. Coatings can be applied by spray, brush, pad, dipping, roller or plaster. Coatings can be solvent-based or water-based. The paints can contain a wide variety of pigments, depending on the color you want. Wood manufacturing poses many health and safety risks that are common to the industry in general, with a much greater proportion of equipment and operations extremely expensive. dangerous than most.

Oh Mother!
Ok! So i thought that since some of you (whoever you are) might think the same thing, that i will post something new today.
I am safe and back home in AZ. On the plane ride i had LOTS of time to think. And by LOTS of time i man 4 hours to where not even music and the book that i'd read could hold my time. That's what brought me to thinking, plus i can't sleep on planes- GRRR to all you little devils that can easily sleep anywhere. Ok, ok. Getting back on track. Thinking! So here are some things that i was thinking. Take what you may but i'm a pretty good think-er. Yeah! I said it. . . WHAT?! Eh-hem!
From the HEAD of MYSELF i give you my THOUGHTS:
1. Rascal Flatts is probably my favorite band in the ENTIRE WORLD! Yes! Country is a simple thing. But these guys are AMAZING! And wonderful. I would marry them all for their voices. Hmmm. . . i want to go see them live. Wow! For as long as i have loved them i've never seen them live. How pathetic am i? OH! I should just date someone and tell him that i want to go to a concert. . . GREAT idea! NO! But then i'd have to act interested (easily done, but not so easy when i have something i LOVE to listen to!!!). Drop that. I KNOW! I'll just buy some tickets. Get a job, buy some tickets, and have my friends come with me. PERFECT!
2. JOB! Dang i need one of those. Something most people find easily, i can't. Suck. ok. . . Get a job. Not so hard. Where do i want to work?
3. Hmmm. . . maybe i should have stayed in VA! Job opportunities calling my name and cutie boys out there that don't know me! WoOt!
4. Boys are dumb. Why do i love your faces? I don't need a boy to do the things that i want to do.
5. Things i want to do?! Well i've never thought about that. Actually it's on my mind, you silly things. So black and white lets see what we have. I want to travel. I want to go everywhere in the world. Sight see. I could go by myself and have time to think get things sorted. I could finish school. Not just finish but exceed in school. My time would be focused on school and nothing more. I could go to a fancy college where education isn't laughed at. Not even go to school for the athletics or for friends but for me! PERFECT! WORK ON SCHOOL!
6. Temple. I love the temple. Which little LDS girl doesn't think of it, or have it in the back of your head? But i have to get married. Hmmm. . . not a bad idea. Then i have to find a boy. ThEn i have to be most wonderful enough to have him want to propose to me. And that's NOT hard to do (yeah right!). Wait! GIRLS can go through by themselves. I'm sick of waiting around for someone to come and marry me. I've been waiting and i'm DONE! Do you know how boring and hard and tear-y it can get waiting and thinking "I'm never going to get married!"? Yeah! It gets old fast. I'm already temple worthy, and nothing is going to change that. So why not?! I can get a temple recommend and go through. Then i can go with my dad and mom and family! PERFECT! But how do i acquire something like this! I KNOW, i'll talk to my bishop. What if he thinks that i want to goon a mission? Don't get me wrong i give kudos to all you missionaries and sisters missionaries. I just don't want to be one. Not that i don't want to share the gospel, that's something i think about quite often actually. I just don't want to have to put a label on something (now these are just my thoughts). I really want to go!
Man! I am crazy! But seriously that is NOT all i thought about. The temple is mainly what i thought about most of the time though. And can you believe i actually CRIED about it! I'm certainly NOT a cry-er but when i thought about this i seriously teared like no other!
Well thanks for all those that read my blog and think it's BORING (Cough*Verity)! My life isn't entertainment! Just kidding! It really is much funnier than claimed on my blog! You just haven't experienced it! Well Peace!

Dearest Meredith,
You have a blog and didn't tell me!!! I know I'm not your favorite sister, but Come On! You could have told me! I would only have stalked you once a day. But no! You kept it a secret, so now I will stalk TWICE a day for revenge!!! ;)
Seriously, I'm so excited that yoiu have this. It makes keeping in touch so much easier. Love ya!!!

Okay, so now I will give a comment about what you wrote.
1. You can TOTALLY go to a college just for you and get some fabulous education, all for yourself. And it is NOT being selfish. Being selfish and Taking care or one's self & improving oneself are VERY different things. And I don't think you have ever been selfish.
2. You do not have to be getting married or go on a mission to go through the Temple. Some people do believe that. And they are good people who are very sincere in their beliefs, so it's hard sometimes to go against what they are telling you. BUT you have to do what's right for YOU. And if you feel that the right thing for you is to go to the Temple, then GO! If you know that you are ready to make those sacred covenants, then DO IT!!!
I was planning on going when I turned twenty, so that I could be there when Morgan went through. Of course, J came along and moved my plans up quite a bit. But I still made sure that my Temple trip was seperate from the Wedding. So many girls lump them together. Which is great for them. But jsut because something is right for THEM does NOT mean it is right for YOU! Only YOU can decide what is right for YOU.
3. So, you want to go traveling...Me too, but I'm chicken to go by myself and don't want to drag my kids with me. Maybe I'll get J to take a week off and WE'LL go together some crazy place. What do you think?
Love ya!

On disputing "constructive alignment"
An interesting discussion of the limitations of Biggs' "constructive alignment" model for university teaching—which is referenced and outlined in the post. Briefly, Jones suggests that it leads to big top-down quality enhancement/staff development initiatives which just do not work. He proposes a more modest encouragement of "reflective alignment" which in effect says that if university teachers will just think more about what they are doing, they will not be able to resist improving it. This is in line with the Strivens article I have often drawn attention to.

A Williams man accused of domestic violence and planting a fake bomb behind Williams City Hall has been found competent to stand trial.
Troy Don Alexander, 44, appeared in Colusa County Superior Court on Nov. 15.He faces six felony charges stemming from his Aug. 19, 2017, arrest by Williams Police officers, after a woman reported that Alexander allegedly assaulted her and held her prisoner for a short period of time.
It was during the investigation of that incident that officers suspected Alexander had manufactured and planted explosive devices in Williams, including two delivered to the Williams Police Department. According to Police Chief Ed Anderson, the Butte Interagency Bomb Squad also responded to the scene but determined the devises were inert.
Alexander pleaded not guilty on Aug. 23 to possessing ingredients to make a destructive device, three counts of placing fake bombs with the intent to cause fear, corporal injury to a cohabitant, and false imprisonment by violence.
Alexander's competency to stand trial came into question during his preliminary hearing on Sept. 20, which prompted court proceedings to be suspended, said Superior Court Judge Jeffrey A. Thompson.
Alexander allegedly has mental health issues, which he admitted to in a series of email exchanges he wrote to Williams City Manager Frank Kennedy and the Colusa County District Attorney's office in which he accused law enforcement officials of misconduct during a traffic stop.
On Sept. 21, the City of Williams petitioned the court for a restraining order, accusing Alexander of harassment, court records indicate. The petition was granted.
Forensic Psychologist Don Stembridge, who evaluated Alexander at the request of the courts, determined he was competent to stand trial and actively engage with his attorney on his defense.
Deputy District Attorney Winston Welch, who is prosecuting the case, has agreed to Alexander waiving the time period for him to be rearraigned on the charges so that his attorney, Public Defender Albert Smith, can attempt to work out a plea deal on just one felony count of planting a fake bomb and corporal injury to a cohabitant, which is also a felony.
If convicted, Alexander could spend one year in county jail, under the California penal code.
Thompson said the court reserves the right to reinstate all charges against Alexander if a plea deal cannot be worked out and the matter goes to trial.
Alexander is scheduled to next appear in court on Dec. 20. ■

Credit card: Myths and Facts
Posted on Wednesday, December 20th, 2017 | By IndusInd Bank
We all love credits, but there is one credit which has a slightly misplaced image– a credit card. People are often scared of credit cards, thanks to the myths associated with this financial aid always at our disposal. Festivals, emergencies, family functions, or vacations may mean large expenses for you. That is when the true utility of a credit card comes to fore.
A credit card is not only immensely helpful for unforeseen expenditures, but its associated benefits are also manifold, including reward points on each transaction that you make, cashbacks on certain purchases, specific discounts on availing services from some of the affiliated brands and stores, etc.
As we slowly embrace the cashless economy, owning a credit card will always be an advantage if you use it judiciously. So, we will clean-bowl all the myths you might have heard about credit cards so you can get one that suite you, today
1. Myth: Credit Card Hurts Credit Score.
Fact: Credit card can actually help improve your credit score.
You will be surprised to know this, but your credit card actually boosts your credit score. It can take you one step closer to a favorable response from the banks if you need a loan.
Your credit card can spoil your credit score only if you do not pay your bill on time. Credit scores are spoiled only in case your expenditure is more than your earning and you do not have any alternate means to amortize your debt. A credit card can come to your rescue for meeting your urgent needs.
2. Myth: Paying off minimum balance is good enough and won't attract interest.
Fact: For interest-free credit, always pay the total amount due.
By paying the minimum amount due, you just avoid the overdue payment charges. But you will be charged interest on the amount due and you will lose the privilege of the grace period for all new transactions. This will also have a negative impact on your credit rating. Always pay the total amount due on your credit card.
3. Myth: I don't need to sign at the back of my credit card.
Fact: Signature makes you an authorized owner of the credit card.
We often take some things for granted, like signing on the back of the credit card. Understand that this little thing can save you from a big problem in the future.
When the POS machine is installed at any outlet, the merchant and the bank undergo an agreement regarding the card usage. According to the agreement, the merchant is contractually bound to check the authenticity of the card used. However, this process is usually ignored by the merchant.
If you have signed your credit card and in case your card gets stolen, you are not liable to make any payment if the merchant fails to check the authenticity of the card. But if you have not signed the card, then you are at the mercy of the thief. So, without further ado, sign your card before you head out for shopping or eating out the next time.
4. Myth: My credit card cannot be compromised if the PIN and password are safe with me
Fact: Check the authenticity of the website before entering your PIN and/or password.
This is one of the issues where the credit card users are caught off-guard. The RBI has made it mandatory to use a PIN as a security feature in all cards. However, you can still use a card without your PIN while doing online transactions. Many websites do not ask for your credit card PIN.
So when you make any online purchase, ensure that the website is authentic. Your card details are vital, and if they get in the wrong hands, it can render you financially vulnerable. A small check like "https" in the URL of the website can save you from inconvenience later.
5. Myth: Too many credit cards hurt the credit score.
Fact: The number of credit cards has nothing to do with your credit score.
Customers prefer more than one credit card owing to the various benefits associated with different cards. For example, an airline mileage card is beneficial for a regular traveler,
while a cashback card is ideal for shopaholics. Such features of credit card add-on to your overall experience.
People often dissuade others to apply for more than one credit card believing it will land you in huge debts and a poor credit score. But this is not true. If you are using your credit cards judiciously and paying your bills on time, the number of cards does not affect your credit score.
6. Myth: It is impossible to duplicate my credit card.
Fact: Beware of fraudsters.
Every credit card has an EMV chip that holds your details. When you swipe your credit card at any POS terminal, it automatically accesses your data. Advent in technology has also led to smarter fraudsters. There are various machines that can clone your card in seconds. To avoid such situations, always use your card at a trusted merchant and genuine websites. Also, ensure that the card is swiped in front of you; never allow payments to be made in your absence.
7. Myth: Loyalty pays, so stay loyal to one credit card.
Fact: Choose a credit card basis your spend patterns
You should always look for options to maximize your financial benefits. You can change or upgrade your card depending on your requirement. Each card has its own features and benefits to match your need. Also, you can enjoy the joining bonus and other rewards, too.
We can confidently say that a credit card is a financial tool that helps you to manage your finances, especially accidental or nonplanned expenditures. We hope we have busted all the myths you might have heard about credit cards. So, say goodbye to your dilemma and apply for a credit card now.

For a number of high school athletes, the opportunity to compete in college sports certainly is the "coming true" of their biggest dream. All the same, college students end up with a form of culture shock after they become aware of the particular difficulties created all by their involvement in this next stage of their academic career. Even though it is necessary for all learners to be familiar with the best way to arrange their limited amount of time in order to level academic and social life, it's important that college athletes acquire this ability of time-management as soon as possible.

I am so fired up to shoot another grand wedding today at another magnificent church in Philadelphia, PA – The CATHEDRAL BASILICA OF SAINTS PETER AND PAUL. Thanks to Corinne and Scott for selecting me to document their special day at this gorgeous Cathedral. A reception will follow then at the amazing FRANKLIN INSTITUTE. Corinne and Scott have planned their wedding while working overseas. It was actually interesting how they book me even without meeting me in person. For that, I thank them for trusting me and believing in my talents. When they came back from their assignments abroad, we shot their engagement session in Washington DC, where they spent most of the time during their relationship. As a matter of fact we shot at the FDR Memorial where Scott proposed to Corinne.

Catacomb - In the Maze of Kadath (1993)
The walls of the maze were built up from the inspiration of Lovecraft's novels. The piano intros gave a melancholic impression, and became an important part of the dark atmosphere that is the most catchy feature on the EP. The other one is the melodic ambitions, and the two perfectly fits together and creating a balance. "In the Maze of Kadath" was not a brutality contest, though it's a death metal EP, but it's also far from melodic death. Diverse themes, melodic solo parts, mid speed, and strong, misty atmosphere are the main features. The very deep growling stlye and the occasional speed ups making a contrast, but these are essential parts of the main harmony. The musical concept of "In the Maze of Kadath" is closer to death/doom style than to death metal in general, even though it lacks the successful level of heaviness and extended slow downs. The influence of Paradise Lost is suspected. However, it's a unique record in the line of the early '90s extreme metal classics.

Barkan Meizlish , May 13, 2015
Recently, an injured worker was denied the benefits of workers' compensation, because the Court determined that the injury did not occur in the course of and arising out of her employment. In Power v. Bay Park Community Hosp., 2015 – Ohio – 1272, an employee was assisting a patient to her car, who was also a friend of hers. While leaving to go get the car, the employee's coat became caught in the patient's wheelchair, which caused the employee to fall and suffer a right proximal humerus fracture.
Because the employee had already clocked out when she went to assist the patient, the Court concluded the injuries were not sustained in the course of her employment (although within the zone of her employment). The rationale was that the employee was not under the direction of her employer when she went to get her friend, and as a result, the employer received no benefit from her doing so. Id. Thus, by not being on the clock, completing her usual tasks, or under the direction of her employer, the Court determined her injuries did not occur in the course of or arising out of her employment.
Had the employee gone to assist her friend at the direction of a supervisor, or had the employee never checked out, the outcome may be different. However, in this case, the employee's attempt to be a good friend did not meet the standard to participate in workers' compensation benefits.
Fill out the form below to get started.

#BrewFood: Shisa Nyama meets Beer
Summer is upon us, and for me, the best summer days are those spent sipping a cold beverage with good company. Paired with good food, ciders and beers are my favourite go-to thirst quenchers. I visited the Beerhouse in Long Street in the city CBD to try out their new #BrewFood menu, a fusion of food and beer offering.
If you are interested in beer and would like to learn about the types available, I recommend the Beerhouse.
Having opened in 2014, the establishment is popular with local beer lovers and tourists. They also have a branch in Johannesburg and Pretoria.
Their outstanding service and the arty and chic decor of yellow and brown makes for a homely and vibey hub for socialising and intimate events.
Beerhouse has teamed up with The Ultimate Braai Master winner and Laat Die Potte Prut presenter, Piet Marais and his team, to create a food menu - combining the best of both worlds - resulting in #BrewFood.
Beerhouse co-owner and "head dreamer" Randolf Jorberg says: "You think you've tasted it all? Think again.
"Just when we thought that food couldn't possibly be reinvented, along we came with #BrewFood. Beerhouse's library of beers has always created a unique experience of exploration and discovery with our 99 bottles of beer on the wall and 25 on tap."
My early dinner started with a Duvel, a Belgian strong ale beer. With a 8.5% alcohol content, it comes with citrus aromas and a zesty taste a perfect combination of a thirst quencher and aperitif.
For our meal, a friend and I shared the Beerhouse Meat Platter. It consists of beer-brined smoked half chicken, brisket, BBQ pulled pork, spare ribs and boerewors. It is served with a side of pap, chips, chakalaka and a side of slaw. The chicken is succulent and melts in your mouth.
The platter was enough for two and was the perfect partner for soaking up the strong beers we were drinking. Desserts was several beers which included another Belgian beer, the strong pale ale La Chouffee, the sparkling fruit beer Liefmans Fruitesse and my new favourite, the Moer Koffie Stout, a Fraser's Folly and Beer Country collab that carries-off a South African legend of strong fire-side coffee in condensed milk, resulting in a delicious combination.
I enjoyed the experience, from the relaxed atmosphere to the food and beer.
I really love the fact that the beverages on offer are more than enough to satisfy an inexperienced beer drinker and the professional.
Marais explained more about the beer and food pairing: "Beer is actually a food product and brewing shares many techniques similar to cooking.
Beer's raw ingredients include malted barley, hops and yeast; all of which provide flavour profiles that can enhance food in tremendous ways. Beer can therefore be used to season, pickle and even ferment food.
"Smoking meats is a part of the culture in America and its growth and popularity is closely linked to the craft beer revolution that has become a growing trend in American culinary culture. But we've taken this way further than anyone else in the world has. We've come up with dishes and preparation methods that truly embrace the word 'revolutionise'."
The cornerstone of #BrewFood is the smoker in which meats are smoked, providing wood-smoked flavours that combine perfectly with beer.
The "Beer Whisperer" Murray Slater, co-owner and group operations manager of Beerhouse, said: "South Africa is a meat loving nation with a proud history of outdoor fire cooking - whether braaiing, making a potjie or shishanyama.
"The culture of sharing meat around a fire is engrained into our communities from all cultural backgrounds and forms a vital symbolic part of social gatherings and celebrations."
Other menu highlights, with the #BrewFood twist, include unique takes on bitterballen, chilli poppers, beerchos (Beerhouse's version of nachos), pulled pork sandwiches and brisket sandwiches.
And beer for dessert? The Beerhouse Beer Float includes milk stout, chocolate ganache, salted caramel and bourbon ice cream, whipped cream, cherries and marshmallows to top off the meal.
* For more information, visit http://www.beerhouse.co.za/ Beerhouse is open from 11am to late, seven days a week, in Cape Town (Long Street), Johannesburg and Pretoria .

Six new paperbacks to check out this week.
LEAVING LUCY PEAR, by Anna Solomon. (Penguin, $16.) Beatrice — 18 years old, unmarried, Radcliffe-bound — leaves her newborn daughter in her uncle's pear grove, hoping that the thieves who often steal fruit will take the child, too. Years later, in a Massachusetts in the throes of Prohibition, Beatrice is restless, stalled and grieving, when the woman who adopted the baby begins working for Beatrice's uncle, and the families' fates are entwined yet again.
AMERICAN ULYSSES: A Life of Ulysses S. Grant, by Ronald C. White. (Random House, $20.) This thorough biography celebrates the virtues and contradictions of the president and general, with a focus on his success during the Civil War. In White's telling, Grant emerges as a skilled, courageous leader with a deep faith, commitment to justice and hidden wit — a corrective to images advanced by Jim Crow-era historians and other critics.
THE HIGH PLACES: Stories, by Fiona McFarlane. (Picador, $16.) The high places McFarlane invokes in this collection range from the literal (paratroopers during World War II) to the divine (a pastor questioning his faith). "The narrative impulse behind these vivid tales is understandable," our reviewer, Christopher Benfey, wrote. "McFarlane's instinct as a storyteller is to let some puzzles remain unsolved."
THE BRIDGE LADIES: A Memoir, by Betsy Lerner. (Harper Perennial, $15.99.) To repair a fraught relationship with her mother, Lerner begins attending her longstanding Monday bridge club — a fixture of her social life even when the author was a child. As our reviewer, Becky Aikman, put it, the memoir "makes a case for spending time together under the rules of neutrality imposed by a game, an approach to living that refrains from over-sharing and outward complaint to concentrate on the task at hand."
PALACE OF TREASON, by Jason Matthews. (Scribner, $16.99.) Dominika Egorova, the synesthetic double agent introduced in Matthews's first thriller, "Red Sparrow," has returned to Russia from the West and ascended to the top ranks of the Russian Intelligence Service — making her one of the best-placed C.I.A. moles. As she fends off Iranian assassination attempts and advances from President Vladimir V. Putin, she hides secrets of her own.
HOW TO BE A PERSON IN THE WORLD: Ask Polly's Guide Through the Paradoxes of Modern Life, by Heather Havrilesky. (Anchor, $15.) The advice columnist for New York magazine grapples with such substantive issues as creative quandaries and emotional blocks. The collection, which includes both previously published and new columns, dispenses thoughtful, tough-love advice.
