'Omen' singer Sam Smith has take to Twitter to share a series of posts expressing his despair that so many gay men and women face discrimination in the world.
Sam Smith gets ''so upset'' when he thinks of people in the LBGT community being discriminated against across the world.
The openly gay singer began pondering the plight of so many homosexual individuals after going to watch the movie 'Holding The Man' - which is about a man's coming out journey - on Tuesday (28.07.15) in the US, where he is currently based.
Sam urged his fans to do more to help gay men and women across the world who do not enjoy the same freedom he does in his native Britain.
In a series of emotional tweets, he wrote: ''It's so deep. But sometimes I sit and get so upset when I think about all the 100's and thousands of gay men and woman all over the world ... Who are going through such heartache and hard times for just wanting to love someone they love ... It makes me so sad and sometimes feel so guilty that I have that simplest freedom whilst others don't ... Sorry to get so deep, but it kills me. I don't understand why more of us aren't doing something about it. I'll leave it there. (sic)''
Earlier, Sam took to his Instagram account to make a lengthy post about the movie - which stars Guy Pierce and is based on the memoir of the same name by Australian writer, actor, and activist Timothy Conigrave about his life and his relationship with his lover of fifteen years, John Caleow which ends in bereavement.
The 'Omen' singer urged his fans to go and see it as the film and book have had a massive impact on his life and helped him deal with his own coming put when he was a teenager.
Along with a poster of the movie, Sam, 23, wrote: ''Holding The Man. I'm going to try to put this into a short paragraph. But I could talk about this all day. I can't tell you all enough how much this book and film have meant to me over the past half a year. This project and piece of work is the most breathtaking thing I have ever seen. As a gay man, it's very difficult sometimes to find films that I can properly and truly relate to. Although I can't relate to the awfully sad ending to Tim and Johns story. The most powerful thing for me was how this book captured what it's like to grow up gay and all those confusing scary and amazing moments I had coming out and realising who I was. And THIS FILM has captured that, and has captured Tim and Johns story so perfectly.
''PLEASE watch this film when you can. And please spread the word. I long for the day when there are way more films about gay relationships, straight relationships, bisexual and transgender relationships and life stories. But for now support THIS film. Because this book and film pretty much changed my life. Hope I kept it to a short paragraph. (sic)''
It's time for a riot grrrl revolution.

Property Management
Landlord Information
Communication and availability are the two key fundamentals for making a business relationship work, but it starts with respect. As a landlord, your property portfolio is essentially your estate. You have taken the time to buy a property and prepare it to be a place for other people to live happily, and we understand how important it is to maintain it as a working asset. It follows with service. You've done your job, now it's time for us to do ours. Here is an outline of the three levels of service we offer for letting your property:
Free market appraisal – no obligation just good advice.
Instruct us to begin – now you're happy, we take the property details and some photos whilst you're signing our T&Cs
Provide us with a set of keys – good access to your property is vital for us
To Let board is erected
We spread the message – displaying your property in our prominent showroom, as well as contacting our database of waiting tenants, and marketing on many websites including Rightmove, Propertylive, KMMaxfield.com, Twitter and Facebook
Accompanied viewings, so you don't have to
Credit reference of potential tenants
Manage preparation and completion of Tenancy Agreement
Arrange Energy Performance Certificate if applicable (additional fee will apply)
Collect bond for Tenancy Deposit Scheme, along with the first rent payment
Advise on gas and electrical safety checks
In addition to finding a suitable tenant, we will continue to collect the rental payments, and forward it directly to your bank account after deducting our fee.
In addition to all of the above, we will keep every aspect of your property managed on your behalf, though we will always consult with you before you incur any charges. This service includes:
Periodic inspections
Arrange for quotes for any breakdowns, repairs and cleaning required
Inspect the property before tenants leave, prior to returning any bond money
Provide an inventory of the property, if required (additional fee applies)
Please be aware that as a landlord, you are legally required to comply with the Gas Safety Regulations 1998, Electrical Equipment Safety Regulations, Furniture & Furnishings Fire Safety Regulations and Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations. We can offer you guidance on this if you require, but don't worry, we're just as regulated as you are.

We want more Famous Barr history!
Do you have photographs, documents or stories to share?
Contact us!
History of The Famous Barr Building (1948)
Location: 7425 Forsyth Boulevard
Clayton, MO 63105
Source: Internet search
The building's footprint gracefully follows the curve of Forsyth Boulevard. Two stories in beige brick float over a ground level clad in black polished stone, and are punctured by small square windows that cast fascinating shadows across the curved facade in the sunlight of late afternoon. When new, the curved motif continued through the interior.
Famous-Barr was the first department store to make the move from downtown to the suburbs, opening the first branch in Clayton on October 8, 1948. Facing competition from the nearby Galleria location and declining sales, Famous-Barr closed its Clayton store in 1991. The building stood shuttered for a few years. Washington University acquired the building and lot through a combination sale and charitable donation. The University began using it as an overflow library storage space. The building is now known as the Washington University West Campus. Other occupants include a wine and cheese seller, and auction house Ivey-Selkirk -- both fittingly upscale functions for this stylish building.

Ripe Pu-erh Teas
Chang-an Brick
Chang-an Brick
2011 vintagespring harvest
Weight: 450 grams (16 oz.)
Type: Ripe Pu-erh (fermented)
Grade: 2-4
Production area: Lincang Prefecture, Yunnan Province
Taste characteristics:
If you like the Chang-an loose leaf and the Chang-an Lucky Coins, you will like this Chang-an brick even more. This is a collectors edition because pressed leaves create a more stable aging condition for the leaves and are better able to retain their fragrance and character. This brick is made from old arbor trees and its production was closely supervised by Master Vesper Chan. The 2010 and 2011 editions of this tea have enjoyed great popularity in Hong Kong and China. Smooth and rich, this newer edition of Chang-an offers a bold full body with a subtle sweet aftertaste that lasts up to 10 infusions. This tea possesses all the necessary elements to be aged into a fine ripe Pu-erh tea in the coming years.
Bamboo Gift Box Available
For an additional $6, Bana is offering a lovely bamboo gift box (312g) made specifically for the Chang-an Brick. The lid is embellished with a handsome design. The lusterous box makes a perfect presentation for gift giving. Box cannot be sold separately. Total weight for box and brick is approx.762g = 27 oz.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The Pledge is an interesting combination of a YA Romance and Fantasy. I have seen a few references to a Dystopian theme fly by and even though there are some minor hints throughout the book, that it is a modern civilization thrown back into another era, I feel that people who are expecting a Dystopian will be left wanting more from this book.
It is written in alternate POV's and we mainly follow Charlie who is 17 and lives in a 'kingdom' segregated on language. In this world the language you speak dictates the social status of your family; and her family falls somewhat in the middle class.
Charlie however, has an advantage since she is able to understand all spoken and unspoken languages (for someone that is supposedly so perceptive, she has a bit of an issue picking up hints). That being said I will excuse her moments of denseness as I can't help but like her. She has a little sister 'Angelina' whom she is very close to and the loyalty to her family is admirable.
When Charlie very nearly gets herself in a precarious situation, she attracts the attention of Max who from that moment on tries to find a way to get closer to her.
At about the half way mark it gets more interesting. Action starts to build up and we find out a little more about what is at stake and where loyalties lie.
The connection between Charlie and Max is there. However I found it lacking a little in the depth department. Even though Charlie initially keeps her head about her and does not immediately stroll to the altar, there is no real clarification as to why Max has such a sudden infatuation with her. Charlie questions his motives on this at the end, but there is no real answer provided.
I'm hoping that their relationship gets delved into a little deeper in the next installment. However, I have the feeling that this will take a back seat to another story line.
The writing is good and words flow well.
I also would have loved to get to know the characters a bit better. The POV switching was only done a few times and should either have been left out completely or done more extensively.
There is no cliff-hanger ending as such and things get tied up relatively nicely, if a little rushed. It leaves me curious as to where the author is taking this story next. I have a feeling that our evil queen is not gone for good...
Would I recommend it?
Yes, it is a quick read and it is entertaining. I would recommend it toward the younger YA readers especially.
Quotes that grabbed me
~ "We don't want that, Charlie. We don't want to fight, but we can't just go on like this. We deserve to choose what we want to be, who we want to be."
~ "His eyes warmed, even as his brows drew together. "So are you saying we have your cooperation? That you'll agree to be our queen?" "I'm saying that you're guaranteed not to have my cooperation if you don't help me."
~ It was tentative at first, just the slightest encounter of our lips as they brushed ever so lightly together. A feathers touch... lighter even. My thready pulse spoke its own recognizable language.

The trial of a former Nacogdoches pharmacist accused of paying a 14-year-old girl started yesterday. Mr. Stanley Turner, 65 years old, appeared in the 145th Judicial District Court where he faces multiple charges of sexual assault of a minor.
In order to flee any possible charges, it was alleged that the pharmacist had approached the mother of the victim with a sum of $2,000.
In the opening remarks of the case, the jurors were told how Mr. Turner had sex with the teen and then drove her to a store to buy hair products.
Meanwhile, the defense attorney for Mr. Turner asked the judge to consider the admission of guilt until the end of the punishment phase of the trial. He also stated that Mr. Turner had been experiencing some challenges at home due to a long-term illness of his wife, but that he was a good man with no prior convictions.
The mother, Ms. Marshia Lasha Robinson, of the victim was the first witness to take the stand. She claimed her daughter had gone missing for 5 days in August of 2014 and that she found her in the end in a police station. After she had returned home, the mother claims her child was more withdrawn than ever and didn't want to speak about what had happened.
The woman also claimed that several months later, in October of that year, Mr. Turner contacted her to pay money so the case could go away.
Two police officers also testified confirming that Mr. Turner contacted the mother in order to silence the victim and herself from meeting with authorities of alleged crimes. With their help, the mother agreed to meet Mr. Turner at a location in Lufkin where authorities then arrested Turner and found a check in his wallet.
The trial continues.

text: Finally, after a week of being tentative, it is now clear that DS is ready to be exclusively breast fed. In the week that DS has been on breast milk exclusively, he has gained 51/2 oz – which really makes us confident that this is here to stay. In addition to the many benefits of being breast fed for DS, for Dad, this means having to worry less about handwashing the dirty diapers. They are now directly machine washable, without any prior prep. For Mom, this means freedom from pumping and the chore of cleaning all formula related paraphernalia. Also, suddenly there is more time in Mom's life for other stuff.And for DS, he is getting the healthiest possible food every time!!

One way to help keep a digital track clean is to stay in the digital domain once the track is recorded. Each time a signal passes through converters and into outboard electronics, the sound changes — however subtly — and some noise hitches a ride. If an outboard processor adds to the track, or if you prefer to mix via analog summing, go ahead: But know what you're doing and why, listen to it both ways, and make an informed decision. If your signal path can live without an extra stage, don't use it.
Suppose that for the most part your recording is clean, but there are a few remaining noise issues. Do you grab a noise reduction plug-in? I avoid them unless absolutely necessary, and when I do need noise reduction, I use the bare minimum. Noise reduction works by subtracting energy in particular bands, and when pushed too hard, they may subtract energy you do want. Besides, the sonic artifacts from even the best noise reduction algorithms can sound more distracting than the noise. If the noise is really bad, it's re-recording time.
Not all noise is electronic. While tracking one of the songs on Julie Day's CD (www.julieday.org), we could hear the upright bass buzzing. First we thought it was from a humidifier that was accidentally left inside the bass and sympathetically vibrating as the instrument was played, but even after removing it, there were still places where the bass would buzz, and we couldn't locate the problem to fix it. As we had several other musicians waiting and the clock was ticking, we just went ahead and tracked anyway, figuring we'd fix it later.
Well, it wasn't easy. When we found an objectionable note, we searched the tracks until we found the notes we needed (with the proper pitch and inflection but without the buzz) from elsewhere in the song or from alternate takes, and flew them over to replace the bad notes. There were so many spots with buzzes on that song that the majority of notes had to be edited. Doing that takes forever, and you have to be pretty good with your editing chops if you are going to sneak that past your listeners. Of course, if things are that bad, retracking is usually the better answer, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do.
Here are some other tips that can help at mixdown.
n Listen to each instrument and roll off any unnecessary bottom with a steep high-pass filter. If there is nothing but room rumble and air conditioning noise down below 100–150Hz on a track, filter it out. This one step will make a huge difference in cleaning up a muddy mix, as well as reduce any subsonics that snuck their way into the track.
n Some soft synths have high-resolution or "low aliasing" modes that suck more CPU, but reduce artifacts. Use them! If your computer can't handle the load, freeze the track.
n If an instrument doesn't have much going on in the upper frequencies but noise and hiss, try a low-pass filter or a bit of high frequency shelving EQ to pull back the noise. Remember that most EQs can be automated, so you can open up the response if highs are present.
n Although you can trim individual regions to "remove silence," you can also use mute or fader automation to turn off tracks when they're not needed. In Figure 1 there's noticeable headphone bleed from the vocal track during a sax solo, so I used volume automation to bring the faders down in the spots where there weren't any vocals to mask it. However, don't go too far — some breaths and "humanisms" should be left in the mix, but control them and their levels as needed. (You can hear a "before and after" example of the soloed lead vocal in Figure 1's highlighted section at www.eqmag.com).
The bottom line is whenever possible, avoid noise issues at the source rather than try to correct them later. It usually takes less time and provides better results. But don't go too far over the top and kill the music; a little dirt once in a while isn't going to hurt anything — but a lack of vibe most certainly will.

Contact: Tracy Swartout, Acting Superintendent, 360-569-6502
Acting Superintendent Tracy Swartout advises that Mount Rainier has transitioned to winter hours of operation and service. Warmer than average temperatures, several flood events, and high winds marked an interesting end to November and start to December. Winter recreation demand will be increasing as temperatures cool and the holidays approach. The entire Mount Rainier Team, including its concessionaires, partners, and scores of volunteers, is preparing for winter operations and visitors.
PLEASE NOTE: The Paradise snowplay area is not open due to insufficient snow depth on the ground. A minimum of 5 feet of snowpack is needed to avoid resource damage to the fragile meadows as well as for visitor safety. Until there is significant snowfall and winter snowplay staffing is on board, there is no snowplay available in the park.
The entire park is open for visitor use throughout the winter, including overnight winter camping with a valid permit. However access may be dependent on road conditions. Campers should plan their travels with an understanding of nightly gate closures. Overnight camping in vehicles is not permitted in the park. Backcountry travelers are encouraged to get updates on current and projected snow, avalanche and weather conditions before coming to the park, heed warnings, and come prepared to survive winter conditions. For winter camping reservations call 360-569-6575 between 9:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m.
As in past years, the main gate at the southwest entrance to the park (Nisqually) will remain open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week unless hazardous conditions require a temporary closure. The higher elevation gate, located on the road between Longmire and Paradise is closed nightly to ensure visitor and staff safety. Rangers and Roads staff evaluates road, weather, avalanche and staffing conditions daily when making a decision on whether it is safe to open the road above Longmire. The target open hours for the road above Longmire will continue to be 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., with the uphill gate between Longmire and Paradise closing at 4:00 p.m. to allow time for visitors and staff to exit safely. When the Paradise gate is closed, access to Longmire is still open through the Nisqually Entrance.
State Routes 410 and 123, Stevens Canyon and the Mowich Lake Roads are closed for the winter.
On December 12, park staff began sending out projected upper gate opening time via Twitter at approximately 7:30 a.m. Due to changing conditions or new information, it may be necessary to revise this time. In general, and unless updated, the target opening time for the road above Longmire during the winter will be 9:00 a.m. and the closing time will be 5:00 p.m., with the uphill gate between Longmire and Paradise closing at 4:00 p.m. to allow time for visitors and staff to exit safely.
Two snowplow operator vacancies have recently been filled and winter seasonal employees will be coming on board soon. The goal is to provide seven day a week access to Paradise. However, access is subject to change based on weather and road conditions, unexpected staffing levels or extenuating circumstances such as search and rescue incidents, vehicle accidents, flooding, tree falls, etc.
Visitors are reminded that all vehicles (including 4WD) are required to carry tire chains when traveling in the park. Tire chains are available at the Summit House in Ashford and at the National Park Inn in Longmire. Road conditions can deteriorate quickly at any time and mandatory chain use may be required even for 4WD vehicles.
The Henry M. Jackson Memorial Visitor Center is open weekends and holidays only. Operating hours are 10:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. From December 20 through January 1, the JVC will be open daily. During this "winter break/holiday period", the Longmire Information Center will be closed with staff reassigned to Paradise.
Ranger guided snowshoe walks are scheduled to begin December 24 at Paradise. Walks begin at the Jackson Visitor Center at 11:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Sign-ups begin one hour in advance of each walk at the JVC information desk. Participants should dress warmly (layers), have warm hats and gloves and wear adequate footwear for snowshoes. Sunglasses and sunscreen are also advised. Beginning January 3, reserved group snowshoe walks will begin. These walks are from 2:00 p.m. –to 4:00 p.m. on weekends and holiday periods when the visitor center is open. Group reservations can be made by calling 360-569-6575 between 9:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. If the gate opening between Longmire and Paradise is delayed, snowshoe walk times may be adjusted or led from the Longmire Information Center.
The Longmire area will remain open seven days a week, barring major storm events. At the historic National Park Inn, lodging, food, gifts, snowshoe and ski rentals are available. For reservations call 360-569-2275 or visit www.mtrainierguestservices.com
General park information, including winter activity guidance, backcountry permits, and books and maps from Discover Your Northwest are available at the Longmire Information Center (historic Longmire Administration Building) when it is open.
Businesses in the gateway communities are also open throughout the winter and offer great get-away opportunities during the holiday period. Check these websites for contact information: www.visitrainier.com, www.
There is plenty to do in and around Mount Rainier, any day of the week! Visitors are encouraged to obtain up-to-the-minute updates on road conditions and restrictions by calling the park at 360-569-2211 for recorded information. Information is also available through the park's official website www.nps.gov/mora and social media pages. Mount Rainier webcams can also be viewed at this website.

Fox proposes Sky News sale to Disney
Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox has said it would sell off Sky News to Disney or ring-fence it to try to allay regulatory concerns over its proposed acquisition of Sky. Fox wants to buy the 61% of Sky it does not already own. Fox had already pledged to ensure the independence of Sky News. Under the new proposed deal, the news channel would become a distinct company within Sky, run by the head of Sky News. Funding for Sky News would also be guaranteed for 15 years.

Receiver Lifecycle
A BroadcastReceiver object is only valid for the duration of the call to
onReceive(Context, Intent). Once your code returns from this function, the system considers the object to be finished and no longer active.
This has important repercussions to what you can do in an
onReceive(Context, Intent) implementation: anything that requires asynchronous operation is not available, because you will need to return from the function to handle the asynchronous operation, but at that point the BroadcastReceiver is no longer active and thus the system is free to kill its process before the asynchronous operation completes.
In particular, you may not show a dialog or bind to a service from within a BroadcastReceiver. For the former, you should instead use the
NotificationManager API. For the latter, you can use
Context.startService() to send a command to the service.

Tree bumblebees (Bombus hypnorum) in a bird box © Rasbak
This unusual behaviour usually turns out to be our newest bumblebee arrival, the Tree bumblebee (Bombus hypnorum).
The Tree bumblebee only arrived in the UK in 2001 and then rapidly spreading north, with it being recorded for the first time in Scotland in 2013. This bumblebee does really well in the UK. It is a generalist species which means it feeds on a wide range of flowers though it is particularly fond of raspberries and blackberries, making gardens and allotments great places to see them.
This adaptable bee is the most arboreal of all bumblebees and will nest in abandoned bird boxes or empty roof cavities. However some can be found nesting low down in old mouse nests or even in the fluff of tumble drier vent pipes. One Buglife member of staff found a nest in her lawn - clearly no one had told this particular colony that they were supposed to be Tree bumblebees!
Tree bumblebees aren't particularly aggressive, although they are likely to defend their nest if they feel threatened. We get a number of calls during the months of May and June because of unusual nest activity – clouds of bees 'swarming' at the entrance to the nest. This behaviour can last all throughout the day, and may involve a number of bees.
But don't panic! This is actually something called 'Nest surveillance' and it's the frisky males hanging around. Male bumblebees cannot sting as they don't have a stinger (the stingers are modified egg laying tubes called ovipositors which obviously only females will have).
The males are just waiting for the virgin queens to emerge and once they do, the males will attempt to mate with them, very often falling to ground during the process. Once the queens have mated they feed themselves up and find a hibernation spot, ready to start a new colony next year. These fantastic pollinators don't appear to be harming our native wildlife and they are truly wonderful to watch in flight.

Music News & Reviews
Justin Wells' 'Dawn' after band breakup
For nine years, Justin Wells played a succession of dive bars and honky tonks with Fifth on the Floor, a potently electric band based out of Lexington. Its sound was huge — a blast of Southern rock might leveled by doses of blues, boogie, outlaw country and other renegade sounds. It was the sort of music made for barreling down a highway, which Fifth on the Floor did on a frustratingly regular basis.
Standing onstage for a solo acoustic show at Phoenix Park earlier this month, Wells — a Louisiana native who lived in Cynthiana and Richmond before relocating to Lexington in 2005 — had no barbed-wire band electricity behind him. But the songs he sang, pulled mostly from his debut solo album, "Dawn in the Distance," were deceptive. They may have been lighter in tone, but they crackled with a massive spirit, one that wore the trials and triumphs of band life like bloodied badges of honor.
"I made an early decision, encouraged by some people in my professional life and in my personal life, to just be brutally honest," Wells said of the music that permeates "Dawn in the Distance." "There is not a lot of metaphor on the record, necessarily. It's pretty specific and pretty obviously, I think, autobiographical."
I didn't want to do anything that was in any kind of comfort zone.
Justin Wells on his debut album
What Wells wanted for the album wasn't as apparent as what he didn't want. Not intended was a record that mirrored the titanic charge of Fifth on the Floor or even a watered-down variation. "I knew I didn't want to make a Fifth on the Floor record," he said. "I knew I didn't want to make a Fifth on the Floor Lite record, as it were, either. I didn't want to do anything that was in any kind of comfort zone."
So Wells convened in the Shangri- La studio of Lexington recording vet Duane Lundy, assembled a few pals who have become staples in all manner of local band projects — guitarist J. Tom Hnatow, bassist Blake Cox, drummer Robby Cosenza and keyboardist Lee Carroll among them — and came up with songs that had the fervency and fierceness of the blues but the narrative detail and intensity of vintage country.
"I keep telling people that I think this is a country record in as much as you have to call it something," Wells says. "There is a lot of density to it. With Fifth on the Floor, we found ourselves lumped into Southern rock and outlaw country. In some cases, I guess, that was a little bit appropriate. But to me, to go as far away as I could from that meant being brutally honest, heartbreakingly honest and kind of uncomfortably honest, frankly."
I keep telling people that I think this is a country record in as much as you have to call it something.
Justin Wells
Leading the "honest" pack is a song called "The Dogs," a hardened road anthem set to a heartland rock groove, although it was just as commanding as an acoustic confessional at Wells' Phoenix Park performance. "We're the last one to know it's over and the first one to have to beg," Wells sings. "We're the dog that crawled for miles on broken legs. We're the dregs."
"Well, it's got kind of heavy lyrics," Wells said of the tune. "But I do think it's proud. That's kind of a recurring theme in a lot of my work with Fifth on the Floor. We kept that band running for nine years. We had four releases, we charted long before this sort of renaissance happened in country music. We didn't have a label. We did so much of it on our own. So there almost has to be a pride to that because that's all you have, in a way, when you're touring out of a van and you're not making much money. In a way, it's almost like sadistic pride. That's where 'The Dogs' comes from. It says, 'We're the dregs,' but not in a negative way. It's just not very pretty."

In this day and age, our time is extremely limited due to work schedules where both husband and wife are working outside the home, commuting time, study time for people who work and go to school, and the stresses of raising children and spending family time together. There just isn't much time leftover to properly maintain our homes; so we hire a house cleaning service and most who do, consider it money well spent.
If you are like me, you have someone come into your home when you are not there. Choosing the right company is critical to your peace of mind.
Here are some tips from Cleaning Service Myrtle Beach to consider in choosing a cleaning service:
- Write down what house cleaning jobs you want help with by the service you will hire. Which rooms are the most important to maintain on a regular basis? Do you want laundry done, beds made, dishes done, ceilings and baseboards cleaned periodically? Definitely, make a list of what's important to you.
- Next, decide on your budget. There is a wide range of services available that should fit into most everyone's budget, but you have to know how much money you can spend to find the exact match.
- Make sure you can get references. Every good cleaning service will be happy to share references and some may even have written testimonials from people who live close by. Don't be shy about asking. Then, check the references.
- Set up an appointment with the cleaning service you want to hire. Most will spend time with you to answer your questions, arrive at a mutually agreeable plan, and give you a free estimate. This will also give you an opportunity to get an idea as to their personality and level of professionalism.
- Check to see that they are bonded and licensed properly in your state. Accidents do happen, no matter how careful people are, and you don't want any surprises with regard to insurance claims to cover such incidents. It is not unreasonable to ask that your house cleaning service have their insurance company fax or email a copy of their certificate of insurance. It is up to you to make sure the insurance policy is current and in force.
- Ask about the supplies used…are they provided by the service or are you expected to supply them for the price you will pay? Avoid misunderstandings this way. If they supply the cleaning products and you have allergies, make sure they will not affect you or members of your family.
- Determine payment schedules and methods of payment accepted. Usually you will pay for the service as it is performed, however, some cleaning services provide a discount if you pay for several months in advance.
With just a few precautions you can have a home that is a joy to come home to without the stress of cleaning it yourself.
Call us at Cleaning Service Myrtle Beach and we would be happy to meet with you and provide an estimate.

In the NE corner of our section there is a tree fern grotto. Underneath the upright ferns with their unfurling koru fronds are snowdrops, helabores and foxglove seedlings, creating an unusual mixture of indigenous and the Old Country.
I learnt a lot about the British Isles in my early years. My first books were Winnie-the-Pooh, Wind in the Willows and the William books. In School Cert Geography I learn to draw a cross section from Lancaster across the Penines to York. At university the concentration was on English history. I taught its literature, 'gathering swallows' and 'hearts of oak'.
On my first visit to England I was delighted to see a robin in a rural garden. It was so tame – sitting on a wall close to me. Those childhood books had robins, red squirrels, foxes galore. My mental warehouse was full of the flora and fauna of the British Isle. I have never seen a puffin but the book trade meant I had a clear vision of what one looked like. Nor have I seen a pine martin, a relation of stoats and weasels.
I'm watching a DVD series 'The Natural History of the British Isles' narrated by Alan Titchmarsh. It began with a robin with its prominent red breast. They like humans gardening. Apparently they became associated with wild pigs in the large wood that covered the Isles several thousand tears ago. The pigs turning over the soil presented prey to the insect-eating birds.
Titchmarsh took us back in time to the formation of what is now those islands. He pointed out the formation of the Atlantic Ocean. Edinburgh Castle is built on an old volcanic plug – I'd seen it but not made the connection. Coral fossils on the Yorkshire dales reveal it was once a tropical sea.
And so to the last great Ice Age. Grey seal pups are still born white. High in the Cairngorms they've found polar bear bones in a cave. Large boulders carried hundreds of miles from their origin were deposited by the retreating glaciers litter the countryside. And from the North Sea trawlers they get mammoth tusks and bones. Ireland split off early, hence no weasels or snakes. Britain separated from France later. As the ice retreated the vegetation shifted – birch, Scots pine and juniper went north as the deciduous trees colonised the south.
Entertaining, informative, the series is giving me great pleasure as it fills in gaps in my knowledge of the British Isles.

The second round of China-U.S. trade talks have come to an end. China's Vice Premier met with officials in Washington, with some agreement on issues. And Beijing says a trade war has been averted.
CGTN's Jim Spellman tells us more on the talks.
There were signs of progress after two days of trade talks between top Chinese and U.S. officials in Washington. Vice Premier Liu He, who led the Chinese delegation said there will be no trade war, and both sides agreed that no additional tariffs would be imposed. He described the talks as positive, pragmatic and constructive.
A joint U.S.-China statement said measures were being discussed that would help both countries; boosting China's economy while reducing the trade deficit.
The statement read in part: "There was a consensus on taking effective measures to substantially reduce the United States trade deficit in goods with China. To meet the growing consumption needs of the Chinese people and the need for high-quality economic development, China will significantly increase purchases of United States goods and services."
The statement also said that the U.S. would increase agriculture and energy exports to China while working to expand trade in manufactured goods and services.
Liu led the Chinese delegation. On Friday, White House adviser Larry Kudlow said talks were going well despite no firm deal being reached. "I think what really got the president kind of optimistic about this is what he heard from the vice premier," explained Kudlow.
The two sides also agreed on the importance of intellectual property protection. China's foreign ministry stated that ongoing dialogue is crucial to managing trade differences. "Consultations are meant to address each other's concerns, increase mutual understanding, and work toward compromise,' said Lu Kang, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson.
Washington and Beijing agreed to the principle of fairness when dealing with trade issues and a level playing field for competition. They also agreed to continue high-level talks in a proactive manner. A U.S. team will travel to China to work on details around increased American agriculture and energy exports, but no dates yet for those discussions.
Kun Liu on the second round of U.S.-China trade talks
To discuss more on the second round of U.S.-China trade talks and an agreement for increased U.S. imports, CGTN's Susan Roberts spoke with Kun Liu,. She's the Washington Correspondent for China Radio International.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s stock plunged Tuesday, after the banker shocked investors with its most disappointing quarterly results since it went public 18 years ago.
Goldman has now released 72 quarterly earnings reports since its initial public offering on May 4, 1999. After the previous 71 reports, the stock fell on the day results were released 46 times, by an average of 1.9%, according to an analysis of data provided by Goldman and FactSet. The average gain for the 25 times the stock rose was 3.6%.
Before Tuesday's open, Goldman reported first-quarter profit and sales that missed expectations, as trading revenue fell.
The stock GS, +0.22% dropped $10.67, or 4.72%, to $215.59, the lowest close since Nov. 29. That was the biggest one-day post-earnings percentage decline in its public history. Volume of 12.4 million shares was more than triple the full-day average.
The previous biggest post-earnings selloff was 4.69% on Jan. 19, 2011, after the release of fourth-quarter 2010 results.

Don't miss: Goldman Sachs CEO says bank 'didn't navigate' the market well.
As the biggest price decliner within the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.07% the stock shaved about 73 points off the Dow's price, which fell 113.64 points.
UBS analyst Brennan Hawken said in a note to clients that it was "hard to put lipstick on these results," given high expectations amid solid peer results in an improving environment. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. JPM, +0.64% Citigroup Inc. C, +0.27% Wells Fargo & Co. WFC, +0.98% and Bank of America Corp. BAC, +0.58% have all reported earnings that beat expectations.
Warren Buffett may have lost $117 million on his Goldman stock
Famed billionaire investor Warren Buffett might say he's not very interested in one day's move, but he has to be pretty disappointed with Goldman's results. He remains the seventh-largest shareholder, according to FactSet, after helping bail the bank out during the financial crisis by buying high-yielding preferred shares and receiving warrants to buy common stock at a discount.
Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. owned 10,959,519 shares of Goldman as of Dec. 31, according to the latest filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, unchanged from Sept. 30. If the stake remained the same through Tuesday, Buffett could have lost $116.9 million on his investment Tuesday.
Don't feel too bad for Buffett. The warrants he was granted during Goldman's time of need gave him the right to buy shares at $115 each, which was 47% below current prices.

Hello today I bring you a drawing of an emblematic character of the children's animation, gato felix or also known as felix el gato; his first appearance dates back to 1919 and was characterized by being a character from the silent film era, over time he gained a lot of popularity that made him have his own Holliwood films being probably the most charismatic character on the screen behind Charles Chaplin.
Felix's cartoons were also very successful among critics, who saw magnificent works in Surrealism in the film industry.
This character was consolidated over time and became one of the animations with the greatest impact and admiration in the cinema.
In my opinion, @Moises I really like this type of animations that have to do with its design and retro style, I think they are those gems that remain in time and represent in some way the origin of the concept of animation itself of cartoon in recent times.
As always I hope you like it and I will continue uploading reviews and content of drawings.

Chew on This
Feeling poorly? Maybe your gut needs a tune up
Of all the things I learned while attending the three-day Institute of Functional Medicine Conference in Hollywood, and I learned a lot, the overriding message was take care of your gut.
Functional Medicine's practice goal is to determine how and why illness occurs and restore health by addressing the root causes of disease. The relationship between the patient and the practitioner is a partnership. The practice is evidence and science based. Functional medicine practitioners include physicians, nurse practitioners, dentists, registered dietitians and other healthcare professionals. Treatment provided by a Functional Medicine practitioner is multi- faceted and always has a food/nutritional component and usually addresses the gut. To learn more about Functional Medicine and find a practitioner, go to www.ifm.org.
Speaker Terri Wahls, MD, exemplifies this approach. She has multiple sclerosis, and after her diagnosis followed traditional treatment and continued to get worse. She was in a wheelchair. She hit the medical and biochemistry journals and through her own research came up with nutritional interventions to complement what she was doing.
She eats nine cups of vegetables a day: three dark green, three sulfur containing and three with deep color. She now walks, bikes and lectures all over the country. For more on Wahls and her approach go to terrywahls.com
So why is the gut so central to healing? Our gut microbiome contains 100 times more genes than our human genome and is changed by what we eat. A well-balanced gut influences mood, vitamin absorption, digestive health, the immune system and probably more functions soon to be discovered. Clues that you might need a gut tune up are frequent bloating, gas, abdominal pain and cramping or persistent reflux and diarrhea or constipation.
These are tips to feed and maintain a balanced gut environment:
- Reduce/eliminate sugar and highly refined carbohydrates.
- Eat more fiber from whole grains, dark green and other vegetables, fruits.
- Try some fermented foods such as kefir, kimchee, sauerkraut, miso.
- Reduce stress and sleep enough.

Campaign Watchdog: Andy Barr's ties to Fletcher scandal 'mostly true'
The Herald-Leader will fact-check statements made by candidates and their surrogates in the campaigns for Lexington mayor, the 6th Congressional District and U.S. Senate.
Bluegrass Politics: Read previous Campaign Watchdog stories at Bit.ly/campaignwatchdog
The ruling: Mostly true.
The facts: Barr was a lawyer in the Fletcher administration when Fletcher and many of his aides were indicted during the state hiring investigation led by Attorney General Greg Stumbo. Specifically, right before the case broke, Barr was general counsel to Local Initiatives for a New Kentucky, a controversial agency attached to the governor's office that promoted Fletcher politically across the state.
LINK's director was indicted — the indictment later was dismissed — and LINK representatives were named as unindicted co-conspirators. Fletcher disbanded LINK, saying, "Some appeared to have been overzealous and too eager to please."
In September 2005, Barr refused to release records revealing LINK activities to the Herald-Leader under the Kentucky Open Records Act. LINK employees should be allowed to offer "recommendations and opinions" to supervisors without the "chilling effect" of knowing their words could be made public, Barr said at the time. After LINK was closed, Barr was promoted to deputy general counsel to Fletcher.
This commercial is factually correct but gets a "mostly true" rating because it fails to note that Barr himself was not charged or accused of criminal wrongdoing. However, unlike some Fletcher officials who distanced themselves as facts emerged, such as Lt. Gov. Steve Pence, Barr stayed with Fletcher until the end and draws support from his former Fletcher colleagues.

Clinical neuropsychology is focused on understanding the link between brain and behaviour. For example, how changes in the health of the brain may affect the ability to pay attention, remember or solve problems. Children are usually referred for neuropsychological evaluation by a neurologist, oncologist or neurosurgeon. The paediatric neuropsychology service specialises in assessing children's learning and behavioural difficulties associated with a neurological problem.
Patients seen by paediatric neuropsychology have a known or suspected neurological disorder. The most common neurological disorders include epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, tumour (e.g. DNET) or neuropathology subsequent to previous illness (e.g. encephalitis, hypoxia).
A range of assessments are used to measure memory and learning, concentration, language, visuoperceptual skills, academic abilities, and intellectual functioning. The assessment highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the child and assists in devising strategies that may help with schooling and everyday living. A written report of the findings is given to the family and other health professionals.
This information can help the family more effectively guide and support their child. Knowing a child's strengths and weaknesses can be helpful in planning parenting strategies. Follow up treatment (e.g. behavioural management consultation) can also be provided if indicated.
Leicester Children's Hospital at the Royal Infirmary works with the University of Leicester to undertake research aimed at improving treatments and gaining a better understanding of childhood conditions. You may be informed about some of this research and invited to take part.

The Intriguing World of Color Diamond Rings
According to a recent study, the global diamond market is worth well over $75 billion and this unique niche is comprised of several distinctive operating groups:
* Mining organizations that procure uncut, rough diamonds
* Professional cutters and production firms that augment the raw materials
* Jewelry experts that fabricate, assemble, and create the final product
* Commercial sellers that deliver high-end items to the retail marketplace
In this regard, we're going to take a closer look at the interesting arena of color diamond rings and explain why these inimitable pieces are so sought-after nowadays.
Important Facts about Colored Diamonds
During a data collection initiative conducted just last month, researchers found that almost 135 million carats of raw diamonds are unearthed each year but only one in every 10,000 naturally-occurring diamonds exhibits a color that falls outside of the traditional D-to-Z diamond color chart. With this fact in mind, color diamond rings feature a rare development process:
* It takes billions of carbon atoms to unite over billions of years to create a single diamond but for a colorless diamond to form, every single atom must be carbon.
* The mere presence of an alternative substance will transform a colorless diamond into a completely different stone.
* The existence of nitrogen will create an orange hue.
* Small amounts of boron will cause a diamond to turn blue or indigo.
* Black diamonds actually contain tiny quantities of graphite and iron masses.
* Pink diamonds do not contain any non-carbon elements but their internal electron structure is thrown off kilter during the journey to the Earth's surface.
As you can see, color diamond rings are very beguiling and fascinating, which is why they represent the perfect gift for your oh-so-special someone.
Authentic Color Diamonds Don't Have to Cost a Fortune
The pricing of color diamond rings is obviously susceptible to traditional supply and demand but it is also vulnerable to high-profile events such as when Ben Affleck proposed to Jennifer Lopez with a gigantic pink-colored diamond.
Thus, if you partner with a reputable jeweler, you'll be able to identify the current trends and fashions with regard to colored diamonds and avoid purchasing a particular product during the height of demand.

I know I have shown part of my scrap pile in the past, but every time I think I have a project to use it up, I end up with still more. I really thought that Scrap Dance would take care of this pile, but I completed that quilt and this still remains.
And that is just one bag. To make it worse, I also had another bag where I had begun to do some HSTs just to get something done.
I took this mess by manageable piles over to the ironing board and started pressing.
Then I started finding things already done, more HSTs, some quarter-squares, lots of cut squares. So I began making little piles of similar things.
I needed a plan, so I looked to the projects I do most, and decided to make the squares into 2-1/2-inch and 3-inch squares. Larger squares were put aside to make into smaller ones using up as much as possible. I had a whole stack of 6-inch squares, but not enough to make a quilt, so those will be cut down to 3-inch squares.
Oh, yikes, another group to press and sort!
The one thing I was sure of, I wanted a very limited collection of sizes, not the six or seven bins of stuff like a famous quilter does. I'll only have three sizes, the 2-1/2″ square, the 3″ size for HSTs, and one strip size for scrappy borders. I took all the 2-1/2-inch strips and 3-inch strips and cut those into squares if possible. I did a bunch of strips at once by laying them out overlapping on the cutting board.
Then with all the irregular sized bits, I lined them up and cut them into variable width by 3-inch rectangles. These will become leaders and enders and eventually a scrappy border.
Yes, this took all day and part of another day. But in the end it will be worth it. I already found enough half square triangles to start another project, all I need to do is square up a few more and I can start designing with them. That will be a work in progress for another post. All these squares will be needed early next year for the next mystery, yes there will be a Scrap Dance II in 2016!
Back in the beginning of my blogging days, I posted a long article on using scraps from all kinds of quilting and sewing projects. That post is The Scrap Basket if you'd like to see it for more ideas on using up little pieces of this and that.
How do you organize your scraps?

Ask people of a certain age what winter is like in Illinois, and you will undoubtedly hear tales of the winter of 1979. If those tales were summed up in a picture, it would look like this:
This is an effect of human memory, which likes to latch on to significant events preferentially. The reality, however, is different. We rarely get large snowfalls, and temperatures across the course of the winter vary considerably, from negative double-digits (particularly with windchill) up into the 40's and 50's. These variations come in batches of a week or two at a time, and the snowfalls we do get typically do not remain for any extended period of time. This means that, when it comes to winter cycling, what I want to picture is this:
But what I get is something more like this:
Or, even more typically, like this:
During most of this it is still cold, of course - we can periodically have temperatures in the 20's or even the single digits during periods of time that the bottom picture above represents. But there aren't the vistas of snow across the plain to enjoy as a part of the ride.
What I have realized, as a result of this, is that all of my mental back and forth on the type of winter tires I might need to put on to my trike is largely academic: for the overwhelming majority of the winter here all I'm contending with is either partially, or entirely, cleared asphalt. Even with patches of snow on the road, as above, it's easy enough to ride between them when needed - e.g. on the hills - and they otherwise aren't an issue (at least, not on the trike. Upright on the other hand...).
I've managed three outings thus far in January - fewer than I'd like, but the limitation has primarily been due to my schedule rather than due to weather conditions. Still, I've already matched January of last year, and my nine rides in December of 2017 are far ahead of the two I had in December the year prior. I had hoped the trike would facilitate my winter riding, and so far it really has done so. For anyone who likes to play outside in the winter, but lacks for sufficient snowfall to facilitate winter-specific sports, I can't recommend it enough!

Using Credit Card Numbers in Excel
James asks in Custom Cell Formatting in Excel Post,
I have a problem when formatting a cell that has 16 or more digits … We are working with Credit Card numbers and want to be able to enter them as a 16 digit number like this: 1234123412341234 but want them to look like this: 1234 1234 1234 1234
The problem we're having is that the last digit always turns into a 0 (zero) and the number ends up looking like this: 1234 1234 1234 1230 The custom format type we created is: 0000 0000 0000 0000 but we've also tried: #### #### #### #### with the same results.
This only happens when using 16 or more digits. If we use 15 or less digits, the Custom format works fine. Unfortunately, credit cards have 16 digits so we're stuck with the problem.
We've tried this on Excel 2007 with service pack 1 and on Excel 2000 with service pack 3 with the same results. The Operating Systems we've tried it on are Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (and all other Microsoft Updates installed) and on Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4.
Well, this is because Excel stores numbers with precision of 15 digits. So anything more and it is automatically converted in to engineering format.
Here is a simple workaround if you need to store and work with credit card numbers in excel:
Change the cell format to TEXT from general or number. Thus excel treats numbers as text and you can escape the truncation.
But what if you need to format the credit card numbers in a special way? well, we use a knife and cut the number in to 4 small parts. Not really, we use the LEFT, MID and RIGHT formulas to process the credit card number and format it the way we want.
For eg. if you want to format the credit card number 1234123412341234 like 1234 1234 1234 1234, you can use the formula
and if you want to test the credit card, you know where to go. To our Excel formula E-book page.

Parsing so that it can do 16 digits is great. Now, add in extra script to validate the digits (check that the first number is a 4 or 5 - Visa vs Mastercard, 6 for Discover). 🙂
I put the validation in another box, and point it towards the cell with the card data.
=IF(LEFT(D3,1)="4","Visa",IF(LEFT(D3,1)="5","Mastercard", IF(LEFT(D3, 1)="6", "Discover")))
i want A1 cell input Pan No. so only First 5 text and mid 4 numberand last one text only enter
otherwise envaild

19-Year-Old Squad Founder Pavan Kumar NR's Immodest Goal: Change the Way Clients Read News
Even in a world of conspicuously young tech CEOs, Pavan Kumar NR stands out. On Thursday, the Student ambassador, as GigaOMs Om Malik dubbed him, launched the second, totally revamped version of his news-media based social networking website, Squad. It was also his 19th birthday.
Washington, DC, January 12, 2018 --(
)-- Point taken. While studying for a history exam, the then-19-year-old Pavan Kumar NR found the process of logging keywords into Google or Bing and skimming search results inefficient. "Why not take the search results and form a synopsis of the content, because what I ended up doing was clicking on a result and going back, clicking on a result and going back," he said.
Squad aims to solve a rather large problem, the less-than-ideal way people read news articles on smartphones. As news organizations find their feet with Internet publishing, many have strained to adapt content developed for computer screens to mobile devices. "So people are just skim-reading the headlines and no one is actually standing in line or on the phone and going, 'I want to read this whole story,' scrolling through a 1,500-word article." The new social networking website was created with two key advantages over the usual way people read news on the smartphones, which is in a web browser. First, Squad, like the name suggests. The original Squad condensed articles into bullet-points; its latest iteration summarizes articles into text that has the flow of natural language. This means no wait time to download news snippets -- unlike on mobile web browsers, they're all there. With Squad, a user is able to access a newspaper's worth of "articles" from dozens of publications for browsing, even without Wi-Fi. Obvious care went into the minimalist design and functionality of the website. Squad total roughly 300 characters is available under customize topic tiles.
After tapping to get to "Technology" one swipe to get between loaded. A swipe upward takes a user to the publication's website, a tap allows for sharing on social networks, and a double-tap takes the reader to a longer summary. Therein lies the rub Squad. Why go to news websites if all the most relevant information is on the website? The Squad team says it's received a warm reception from news organizations.

Where to go winter stargazing around Lake Tahoe/
The following post comes from Tony Berendsen, Star Guide, poet, author, and owner of Tahoe Star Tours. During the winter, you'll often find him around Northstar California and The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe, where he leads stargazing tours.
Stargazing is an adventure exploring the cosmos. During winter, the northern hemisphere offers some of the best views from our planet, from stellar nurseries, to star clusters, to the brightest stars in the night sky, and a whole lot more. But there are few destinations as adventurous, and beautiful, for winter stargazing than Lake Tahoe.
The combination of Lake Tahoe's big, dark skies, clean mountain air, low light pollution, and expansive wilderness make for perfect stargazing conditions. Combine that with accessible, dramatic vistas and unique luxuries, and you have one of the best places for winter stargazing. So below I share a few of the best places for winter stargazing around Lake Tahoe, as well as info about a couple of my Lake Tahoe winter stargazing tours.
Mount Rose Meadows.
Mount Rose Meadows is located off of Highway 431, near the west side of Mount Rose's 8,911-foot summit. The accessible recreation area offers a combination of spectacular views of the winter sky and a sweeping view of Lake Tahoe from the ridgeline. While the park is closed at night, there is plenty of parking on the wide shoulder of the highway. If you bring snowshoes to venture into the meadow, the view (and starry skies) gets better away from the occasional headlight of a passing car. Head toward the ridgeline for that sweeping view across Lake Tahoe.
Thomas F. Regan Memorial City Beach
Located in South Lake Tahoe, Thomas F. Regan Memorial City Beach is one of the most accessible places to stargaze on Lake Tahoe. While it's not a wilderness area, the recreation area is located on the shore of Lake Tahoe, and shielded by trees, making for a convenient place for winter stargazing directly on Lake Tahoe. Park hours are from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., allowing plenty of nighttime viewing in the winter. Additionally, there's an elevated grass area in the park that extends to the shore, affording an amazing northwestern view across a star-filled horizon.
Tahoe Vista Recreation Area
Located on the north side of Lake Tahoe, Tahoe Vista offers the flipside view of the night sky, looking south across Lake Tahoe. Standing on the beach (or boat ramp), you can witness one of the best views of the starry skies across the majestic waters of North America's largest alpine lake. While the park closes at 7 p.m., there's parking on Lake Boulevard for easy access to the beach.
For those winter adventurers, check out Tahoe Adventure Company in Tahoe Vista, which offers stargazing snowshoe tours on select winter evenings with yours truly.
Northstar California
For a truly unique Lake Tahoe stargazing experience, Northstar plays hosts to stargazing snowshoe tours that I host on select dates during the winter. Guests depart from the Northstar Cross Country Center at sundown, after hours, for a 90-minute guided tour of the ski resort's snow-covered mountains beneath a star-filled sky. Along the way I present short astronomy talks and point out celestial objects. Upon returning, guests warm by a fire pit, sipping wine and hot chocolate, while enjoying telescopic views of the cosmos.
The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe
Perched mid-mountain, among the snowy slopes of Northstar California is The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe, a five-star, ski-in/ski-out hotel. From December through March, The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe plays host to our "Stars and S'mores" evenings on the Fireside Terrace. Guests are treated to an astronomy and poetry presentation (with s'mores in hand), followed by the opportunity to observe the cosmos through top-of-the-line Celestron telescopes.
