100% organic deodorizer for artificial grass in Charlotte
Odor control is a common concern among pet owners throughout North and South Carolina. Our team understands that it's important not only to create a pleasant backyard for the family, but one that also offers your pet a safe space free from harmful chemicals and contaminants. That's why we use EnviroFill® artificial grass infill. This all natural, 100 percent organic deodorizer helps maintain hygienic artificial grass year-round. EnviroFill® is free from harmful components such as calcium and quartz, which has contributed to its status as one of the most trusted infill brands on the market today. EnviroFill® adheres to the most stringent environmental safety standards, surpassing even the requirements of California Proposition 65.
How Does it Work?
EnviroFill® is a negatively charged infill which traps ammonia commonly found in pet urine. Its negatively charged properties prevent ammonia from changing into a gas, eliminating the smell completely. There is no waiting period because EnviroFill® works immediately after installation. Other infill options, such as silica sand, trap ammonia, which actually amplifies the smell of pet waste.
With Southeast Turf/SYNLawn Carolina, EnviroFill® works in conjunction with our pet turf to create a space your pet will love. While water is not required in order for EnviroFill® to work, cleaning your artificial lawn will not prevent the infill from doing its job. Simply hose down your pet's favorite area on your regular schedule without worry. Water will release the magnetivity of EnviroFill® and allow trapped odors to be washed away. Our artificial grass comes with a 30-inch per hour drainage rate, which means it will be ready for use again within minutes.
EnviroFill® offers homeowners a variety of benefits:
- 100% natural and listed as organic
- Safe for both kids and pets
- Strong absorption rates to remove tough odors
- Matches brown thatch in artificial grass
- Will not clog turf drainage holes
- Eight-year warranty against deterioration
With all these advantages, EnviroFill® is truly the preferred infill for pet owners across the Carolinas. EnviroFill® is both environmentally friendly and safe for both pets and people. Contact us today to learn more about EnviroFill® and if it is right for your synthetic lawn.

Opening Channels for Citizens to Directly Interact with the Government
I wonder how many of us, living or working in Washington DC, know about 311. No, I'm not talking about the Three-Eleven rock band, but rather the phone-based 311 system that many cities in US, including DC, have opened up for citizens to submit inquiries or log complaints related to public services. There is also an "evolved" version of 311, called Open311, which allows the public to submit and track the progress of their reports through use of modern technologies like mobile-phones or computers. In return, the government is able to capture accurate details of the inquirer's input, act on those details and then notify the public on the actions taken. Marc Angelo Irlandez, who heads Open311, relates the system with Customer Relations Management (CRM) information database that sales businesses use to store information on their regular and potential customers to tailor products and services accordingly.

This trek is particularly well suited to families with children between the ages of five and twelve. It covers areas of Nepal that are no higher than 2200m above sea level, combining the exploration of its outstandingly beautiful countryside with a Jungle safari tour in the Royal Chitwan National Park, as well as a Kathmandu city tour. The trek gives a taste of Nepal's varied landscapes, vibrant culture and opportunities for adventure over a period of ten days that will not be too taxing for anyone who is reasonably fit and healthy.
The trek route is one of the oldest in the Annapurna region. It was used by Nepal's royal family as well as by Prince Charles on one of his first visits to Nepal, hence the name. It is a fitting title that also sums up the superlative experience it offers to explore this beautiful and iconic section of the Himalayas.
Your first full day in the country will be taken up by a sightseeing tour of the Kathmandu valley, which is the most populated area of Nepal. Over the next few days you will be trekking in the Himalayan foothills between Kalikasthan and Pokhara, the enchanting little lakeside town known as the 'City of Lakes'. The trek takes you through some wonderfully inspiring landscapes, passing terraced rice fields, forested ridges, glacial lakes, picturesque villages and ancient temples, with the constant backdrop of the high peaks of the Annapurna Himal.
The jungle safari comes as an exciting climax to your tour in the oldest of Nepal's national parks. The Royal Chitwan Nation Park covers an area of 932 sq km in the subtropical lowlands of the Terai Region in the south of Nepal, between the Rapti and Naryani rivers. Who could resist a ride on an elephant, a canoe trip along the river, or the sights and sounds of the jungle? This diverse region is the habitat of many rare and endangered species, including the one-horned rhinoceros, tiger, four-horned antelope and gharial crocodile, as well as many other common mammals, birds and butterflies, which make any jungle safari a colourful and memorable experience.
Day 01: Your arrival to Tribhuwan International Airport (TIA), you will be met by our Airport Representative, and transfer to hotel. Overnight at hotel. B.B.
Day 02: Drive to Kalikasthan by private car / van. Overnight tented camp. B. L. D.

This last of three clippings we found from 1895 editions of the Racine Daily Journal is the longest. In the letter, printed on October 21, the "majority faction" of what was then called Emaus Danish Lutheran Church responds to earlier reports of an injunction filed against it by the "minority faction." The split would result in the founding of Our Savior's and Bethania Lutheran Churches, and the departure of Rev. Nicolai Viggo Holm to be pastor of the former.
In Regard to the Emaus Danish Lutheran Church Trouble
The Defendants and Majority Issue a Card to the Public
They Give Their Side and the Inside Facts– How the Trouble Originated and What Brought About the Sad State of Affairs
Editor of the Racine Journal:
For some time there has appeared now and then articles in the daily papers describing the very unfortunate state of things inside of our congregation, and we have reason to believe that the information thus gained has been obtained from very partial sources, we desire hereby to state our, the majority, side of the case, to the impartial public. The strife which has for years existed between the two factions in the association of some of the Danish Lutheran churches of America, has not been felt to any extent in our congregation until about two years ago, when the above named association, to which Emaus congregation then belonged, held its convention here in Racine, and when a new constitution was adopted, also new officers elected, composed of people of only one of the two factions.
The new constitution recognized as highest authority a board or standing committee of the Lutheran church of Denmark, consisting of laymen and ministers who had originally started the mission among the Danish people in America by sending ministers and missionaries over here and in other ways assisted in the mission work. At the close of the Racine convention, when only a few were present, a motion was adopted to have the new constitution signed by the different congregations belonging to the above referred to association within a specified time, namely Feb. 15, 1894, and those that did not wish to sign would be considered as expelled from the association.
Meanwhile the standing committee in Denmark, mentioned above, in order to restore harmony and good will between the two opposing factions within the association, submitted certain demands or rules for the officers and association to comply with, the obedience of those rules being a condition for its committees, future assistance and existence.
These rules were not complied with, and the result was that the committee dissolved, and the connection with the mother church in Denmark was disrupted. From now the trouble began in our congregation.
At a lawful meeting held Jan. 8, 1894, of Emaus congregation, a vote was taken in regard to signing the constitution, which resulted in 41 votes for signing and 86 against, the majority wishing connection with the mother church. The minority, who wished to sign the constitution, has since that time been dissatisfied, although the congregation has, contrary to what they, the minority, have said and written, (as for example in the complaint) shown them every consideration and never denied them the right to express themselves upon any subject and have allowed them to call ministers of their own faction to preach in the church except in one case lately, when a certain minister was denied the pulpit, as the majority of the congregation considered him one of the originators of the present strife.
The growing discontent led to the congregation holding a meeting on Sept. 29, and continued Oct. 7, to take under consideration the question: "Can the opposing factions work together any longer to the benefit of themselves and the congregation." The congregation and also the plaintiffs manifested unanimously that they did not believe they could.
Then the question came: "If we cannot work together, can we then not part peaceably and divide fairly so that each side get their share." A vote was taken which resulted in 87 for peaceable division and none against.
We will here state that we have repeatedly and earnestly endeavored to persuade them to accept our offer, but in vain, and you all know the result as it has been published.
The charges preferred against us in general and against Rev. N. V. Holm, our pastor, in particular, we consider without foundation, unjust, and uncalled for–not to use stronger expression–but as this is not the time and place to answer each of them separately, we will leave it for our accusers to prove them when the proper time comes, and will leave it for the impartial and fair minded public to judge who is to blame for this sad state of affairs within our congregation.
To illustrate the true feeling within our congregation in regard to this matter we shall simply present the result of a vote taken last Friday night to consider how many were on each side. It proved to be 112 for the defendants; 7 for the plaintiffs; 67 were not present, two refused to vote.
The Defendants and the Above Majority
This portion of our history is covered within the second page of our History section. See also the Wikipedia entry concerning the theological basis of this dispute.

Great Craft Weekend
I had both of the grandchildren this weekend and had a wonderful time. My grandson Cameron played games and enjoyed going to a basketball game with his Papaw . Mary-Kate and I had fun making things with her little Cuttlekids machine I bought her. It is not easy to use so I had to help her crank it. Should be known that it is hard for someone almost 6 to use without adult help. We made some cards for her Mom and Dad's anniversary.

New Kaiser Crafts Papers and the Divas of my family!
I love this new Kaiser Crafts paper line called Dancing Jewel. I love the wood flourishes too. I did not have the right color paint for these so I just used my cat eye chalks and they worked great! They have jewels and pearls to match their lines along with flowers. The divas are my granddaughter and my great daughter in law.

My Top Ten Films Adapted From Novels No# 1: L.A. Confidential Written By James Ellroy
Deemed boastfully by its author the incomparable James Ellroy as uncontainable and unadaptable, L.A. Confidential is quintessentially noir, unmistakably gritty, easily sultry, narrative wise graceful. Adapted by Brian Helgeland and Curtis Hanson and directed by Hanson as well, L.A. Confidential set in early 1950's Los Angeles, the film revolves around three LAPD officers caught up in corruption, sex, lies, and murder following a multiple murder at the Nite Owl coffee shop. Our main characters are as followed Officer Wendell "Bud" White, imposing, violent, feared, protector of women. Sgt. Edmund Exley, the son of a legendary LAPD Inspector, brilliant officer in his own right, determined to out do his father, cold demeanor all contribute to his social isolation from other officers. Sgt. Jack Vincennes, slick as slick can be, technical advisor on the television cop show Badge Of Honor, never saw a bribe he didn't like if it concerned a good narcotics collar, can't remember why he became a cop. Within the action, suspense, and romance, is a wonderful example of character study. These men have made choices in life that haven't been morally acceptable. Within the journey of this story, they are given the opportunity to not invent the wheel in determining what is moral superiority, but just simply do right. This is a film rich in visual aesthetic. The way Chinatown exuded 1930's postwar Los Angeles off the celluloid, L.A. Confidential provides the audience with an equally delicious feast for the eyes.
In a movie like this, there are always the scene stealing supporting characters. Kim Basinger as the Veronica Lake look-a-like Lynn Bracken. David Strathairn as the entrepreneur/pimp Pierce Patchett. Danny DeVito as the sleazy tabloid writer Sid Hudgeons. The list goes on. They all contribute wonderfully to the greatness of this film. I submit to anyone reading this L.A. Confidential is one of the greatest American films ever made. If you've never watched it, give it a chance, you will not be disappointed.

Here is just one more reason I love her. . .
She visited Children's Hospital in Boston this weekend and hung out with this 6 year old little boy, Jordan. I heard one of his relatives on the radio this morning and she was so excited. She said Taylor was SO sweet and real. I just love Jordan's reactions. He is such a cutie. I think this made his day and that is a good thing.
And yes I would go to her concert if I could afford the tickets. Lol!

i will definitely recommend this course not only to those interested in graphic design but also to those who have to make simple power point presentations. you will find the tips very useful!
Jan 16, 2018
There were a lot of design elements thought were irrelevant, now i know better. This course made graphic design limitless. It also show me how to do more and appreciate everything visible
创建者 Frank B•
Aug 27, 2017
My opinion is divided about this part of the course. I have worked as an editor for 20 years and I was dealing with print design for a decade. Therefor, I am not new to the topic of graphic design.
On the one hand, I have learned a lot about graphic design in this course. I wish I had seen David's explanations at the beginning of my apprenticeship. My worked would have been improved significantly.
Especially, as I haven't usually done the design of the newspapers I have worked for myself. After finishing David's course, I see the faults of "professional" designers. They have build the grid and developed the design of many papers I wrote for and that I did the typesetting for. And they sometimes did a very bad job (somebody should have told them to "design, don't decorate" a couple of times).
On the other hand, even having worked in the business, some parts of the course have been too detailed in my opinion (e.g. different families of typefaces).
Moreover, the introduction is pure ex-cathedra teaching.
After that you dive deep into design and layout. I picture myself being new to the matter, having to learn about the software you need, the usage of photos, colours, negative space etc.
If you are able to see this course as an opportunity to get a lot of information and pick some insights of it yourself, it's worth participating. But if you try to fulfil the tasks in good or excellent quality, it's quite a challenge.
Non the less, I have enjoyed (and finished) the course and learned a lot.

The course was very inspirational and teached me a lot about the scaffolding of presentations. I already achieved some accomplishments at work while using what I have learned. I also appreciated the recommendation to use different programs like adobe photoshop. I had no experience with it, but got quite comfortable during the process creating the different posters. Keep up with the great work - I enjoyed it a lot!

Great basic info for anyone wanting to learn more about graphic design, even beginners. I like that you can choose to do special assignments or just the basic course. I have some graphic design experience, but the world of design changes so much, I decided to take another class in design to update my skills. Through Coursera, I can watch videos and do assignments on my lunch hour - can't say that about even our local colleges! Thanks University of Colorado - Boulder

Forget Man v Food – this is Adam v the fatties
It's hard to listen to Bruce Springsteen's 57 Channels (And Nothin' On) without feeling rather nostalgic – did they only have 57 channels in 1992? How did they live in such primitive times?
As we've seen over the last few years, however, it's actually quite possible to have 157 channels and still find yourself cursing the listings because there's nothing jumping out at you. Adam Richman was one of the few things that did jump out, however. When he first appeared with Man Vs Food, he was the proverbial breath of fresh air – a portly, engaging everyman who wandered around America, visiting the kind of barbecue joints the rest of us can only dream about.
It was a wonderful little show that worked primarily because the host was a man who was happier with a good pastrami sandwich than the fayn dayning so often featured on other programmes. But as you might reasonably expect from a man who made his living eating meals that were the size of several small people rolled into a bap, his weight and health began to suffer. In fact, later episodes seemed to offer the tantalising concern that the next time he undertook an eating challenge his arteries were going to burst like a blocked hose pipe and his head would explode in a vast mushroom cloud of transfats and bacon gristle. And I mean that as a compliment.
Through the force of his own good nature, Richman has become quite the cult figure in the last few years and, having listened to medical advice, he had lost 70lbs and was feeling healthier than ever as he prepared for the launch of his new show, Man Finds Food.
Well, that was the plan – the Travel Channel have 'indefinitely postponed' (i.e. cancelled) the show after their host reacted rather badly to online abuse he received. Richman's original crime was to post a picture of his newly svelte self with the hash tag 'thinspiration'.
Of course, for Generation Outrage, the use of that particular phrase is enough to send the berserkers of the online realm into an apoplectic rage. One 'fat activist' – I'm not making that up – called Amber Sarah decided to round up a few of her porkiest friends and they all electronically waddled over to Richman's Instagram page so they could, in their words, 'educate him.'
Having been chased, however slowly, by the furious fat rights brigade, he then responded by calling one them the kind of word you normally reserve for politicians and told another of his internet inquisitors that she should: "Get a razor blade and draw a bath, nobody will miss you."
Cue squeals of outrage and delighted hysteria from his corpulent critics and the immediate cancellation of his new show.
In more moderate times, someone from the network would have had a quiet word in Richman's ear and that would have been the end of that. Not any more, of course. Because we no longer live in moderate times.
Now that they have seemingly sunk, or at least stymied, his career, you would think that was enough for the critics.
But the fat activist wants even more apologies and, interestingly, they are more annoyed by his use of the word 'thinspiration' than his suggestion that someone open a vein or two.
I would say that his critics have got their pound of flesh, but considering they're mostly fat-rights campaigners, they'd probably think a pound of flesh is only a starter.
A Donegal farmer has been forced to defend his JobBridge offer of a whopping 50 quid a week, on top of their benefits, for the lucky applicant who manages to bag a job picking potatoes on his farm.
Patrick Doherty remains defiant and says that he is also going to "invest in training", although how much training you need to pick potatoes remains unclear.
So, for 30 hours a week picking spuds, you will earn just over a euro an hour. Who wouldn't want to do backbreaking work for that kind of money?
And does the farmer receive the gratitude of the workshy?
No, people have instead accused him of the cynical exploitation of unemployed people who are now so desperate for some dignity that they will effectively work as serfs. Why not just give everyone on the dole a hi-viz vest and stick them in the fields for a euro an hour so we can all gather to laugh at their misfortune?
Actually, now that I think about it, my grass is a bit long, can I commandeer someone from the dole queue to cut it for me?
I'll give him a euro an hour, which is only a fraction of what I pay the young fella down the road to do my garden.
And if none of these damn parasites want to do that job (I'll even train them how to use a lawnmower) then I demand that their benefits are immediately stopped and they be thrown out of their home.
Proving that even the most cunning people can say the most stupid things, Hillary Clinton walked herself into even more doo-doo when she lamented that herself and her husband were 'dead broke' when he left office.
It's an interesting definition of 'dead broke' coming from a woman who trousers a quarter a mil per speech but La Clinton insists she will not return a $225,000 fee for a speech in the University of Nevada.
Instead she says that her speeches are important and value for money because she brings "ideas to people across the country which will help fight income inequality".
Good old Hillary, fighting income inequality – $250,000 a time . . .

Attendees can experience more than just formwork products and digital services at the Doka booth F3773.
Doka – a world leader in formwork technology – has announced the new products that will be featured at ConExpo/ConAgg 2020. Attendees are encouraged to stop by Festival Grounds — Booth F3775 to view the products in use.
Symbolic by design, a Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is under construction in Florida. It will be the world's first-ever guitar-shaped building. Formwork systems from Doka give the complex its unique contouring.
In tough everyday construction site situations, everyone should be aware of the safety precautions needed for formwork that will ensure a safe jobsite. Worksite safety is the responsibility of all involved – from the engineer to the contractor to equipment suppliers and, of course, the workers themselves. The safer the work environment, the fewer accidents, or even better none at all, with the added benefit of increased productivity at the worksite.
Safety pays off at a remarkable 1:2.2 cost-benefit ratio. Not just a jobsite obligation, safety is also a key opportunity to boost on-site performance. Why not extract that extra economic benefit from your return on prevention on-site?
Martineau Coffrage is a formwork and civil engineering construction company serving clients in the residential, commercial, industrial & institutional sectors of metropolitan Quebec.
Doka North America has developed a new iOS application called DokaAR. DokaAR allows anyone with an Apple mobile device to view 3D models in augmented reality.
Perimeter protection screens allow NYC's Hudson Yards skyscrapers to safely soar.
The massive Hudson Yards urban development project in New York City has so far gained two titles: the nation's largest private real estate development and the most complex construction project in the city's history. The megaproject has essentially created 28 acres of new land in Manhattan by covering a large working rail yard. From this new land, several skyscrapers are rising to provide more than 1 million square feet of high-end retail and mixed-use space and 18 million square feet of amenity-packed commercial and residential space. When completed, the development also will include a cultural arts center, a public school and 14 acres of public open space.
The world's tallest residential building, the Central Park Tower will top out at 1,550 feet. It is currently under construction in New York City. The method of construction is special and Doka's automatic climbing platforms are the ideal solution, both fast and safe. The building is due for completion in 2020.
In Southern Ontario, Canada, immediately east of Toronto in Durham Region, is the growing area of Markham/Pickering. This area is designated to receive more development and population in the coming years, straining the current sanitary sewer resources. To handle the upcoming growth, a trunk sewer was contracted to accommodate the additional sanitary sewer flows projected from the future growth.
Doka's Framax Xlife stripping corner has successfully been used in forming cores/shafts on thousands of projects around the globe. With a simple built-in ratchet design, all the work of retracting or expanding formwork can be done by one worker at the top of the core. The built-in ratchet makes the operation safe and fast. In accordance with accident prevention guidelines, no crane is required for expanding to set or contracting to strip the core forms. The formwork unit can then be repositioned in a single lift to save crane time.

Just after Noah was born we were kindly gifted a beautiful hamper of baby accessories, clothes and
some gorgeous products to enhance relaxation and a sense of calm. One of the products I received were these sweet little bluebell and wood anenome scented tea light candles from Beefayre. I have
not come across this brand before but the packaging was too cute to ignore and I quickly went to check out their website.
Beefayre are a UK based company who donate 3% of all profits to bee conservation. Right at the heart of their mission is a desire to conserve nature and that is reflected in their beautiful designs on their candles, health products and homeware- to name but a few of their range products.
These tea light candles smell quite amazing. They really remind me of the warm summer months and I can't wait to light them and enjoy whiling away some evenings when the days get a little longer here in England.
I hope you're all having a lovely evening- almost the weekend now!

The 30-year-old NRI now curses his decision of investing in real estate in India and says that his dreams of returning to his motherland to stay with his elderly parents have been dashed. He is so disillusioned that he has even given up chasing the builder for delivery of his apartment.
"I bought the apartment at 23 just when I got the job in London because my plan was to shift my parents to that house, get married and then return to India and settle down. All my dreams have been shattered. Now I have no savings. Even in London, we live on a strict budget. I don't know if I will ever be able to live in that house for which I am still paying. Worst is that I can't even sell it at this stage, there are no takers," Rathod told TOI over the phone from London.
Rathod is not alone. There are many NRIs settled in various corners of the world who had invested in Noida and Greater Noida's real estate during its boom in 2008 onwards and are now left in the lurch, with many complaining of financial imbalances caused by the inordinate delays.
Anil Shah, another NRI based in Uganda, says he booked a flat in Amrapali Princely Estate in 2010, but is yet to get delivery of his dream home. "We have become tired of the builders dodging us. Since 2015 we are being told that we will get our apartment within two months. We don't know what to think of it," Shah said over the phone from Uganda, where he works as a chief executive officer in a sugar firm.
Noida Extension Flat Owners Welfare Association (Nefowa) says it's getting desperate calls from NRI homebuyers who have invested in various real estate projects. "Many of them have parked their hard earned money for better returns or to move back to these apartments when they return. All of them are now stuck," Abhishek Kumar, president of Nefowa, said.
"All through April, we will run a social media campaign worldwide for those NRIs in this region. We have buyers in the UK, Europe, USA already connected with us. We will keep their voice alive here," Puneet Parashar, member of Heart Beat City Buyers Association, said.
When contacted, executive director of Amrapali group that is developing both the projects, Shiv Priya, said, "The Heartbeat City project was stuck in litigation for a long time and Amrapali is not directly involved in its execution presently. We cannot comment on its delivery at the moment. However, the Princely Estate apartments are in the process of completion. Some 1,700 flats have been handed over; less than 100 flats need to be given and it is only a matter of months now for their handover too."

The next project........
I have added a link on the right sidebar for my new website. When you get to the website, the link to the shop is in the top right corner of the banner. Eventually we hope to have the blog integrated into that site. Right now we're having some technical problems with it. Anyone who has built a website knows there will always be a few quirky situations leading up to the final product.

I had to chuckle silently to myself when I read your comment "Anyone who has built a website knows there will always be a few quirky situations leading up to the final product.". I was a computer programmer in my former life, and any software anyone creates, if it's at all complex, will have bugs!

Oh Wanda your leaf batik is beautiful. I did click back to your layout of stars and I can hardly wait to see it complete. I agree with Linda P, she gave a lovely description of what it will look like.
Did I understand right that you will be combining your blog and shop together and we can see both together, without clicking from one to the other ?
I'm excited for this to happen. JJM

There are moments when you may not be in a position to do your essay and the only option available is to hire an essay writer. However, with so many scams on the internet, you may be finding it difficult to know where to find good essay writers. However, you should not mind as there are good places that we can recommend. Here are the top six places:
- Groups on social media
- Freelancing sites
- Academic writing sites
- Your colleagues
- Search engines
You can post your offer for a part-time job on social media groups for whichever industry you maybe in. While not every person will spend their time on these groups, there are still many participants who are looking for that kind of writing opportunities.
You will post your essay writing gig and wait for freelancers to apply. You can ask for their samples or even ask them to do a test before you can hire. Your money is also escrowed and will only be released after you are satisfied with the quality of work. It is also important to note that if you are searching for good quality work, you should be ready to pay more..
There are tons of academic writing services that offer writing services. The quality of work and their rates will differ and so you will need to do a background research on the best option that meets your need. You can also ask for revisions on the site and payment will only be released after you are satisfied.
This is a good market place for freelancers as it enables them to connect with some real individuals. One great advantage of these sites is that you will deal directly with the writer. This means that you can give them your instructions according to your needs.
You can ask other students whether they know of a good writer who can handle their assignment. There are chances that they already know of a good one that they have worked with and can recommend to you. However, it is your responsibility to check the authenticity of the resource that they recommend to you.
This is one of the easiest ways of finding a writer. All you will need to do is to carry out a search and you will be provided with thousands of results. Go through the top 5 results and choose one that suits your need and budget.

Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra Presents Brahms's Requiem
Concerts are culmination of Symphony360 initiative
MILWAUKEE, WIS. 09/17/2014 – The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra presents Brahms's Requiem on October 10-12, 2014 at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. Led by conductor Robert Spano and featuring soprano Jessica Rivera, baritone Nmon Ford, and the Milwaukee Symphony Chorus, the concerts include Brahms's German Requiem and Jennifer Higdon's "river sings a song to trees" from City Scape.
All concerts include Meet the Music, a free, interactive pre-concert discussion held one hour prior to concert start time in the Anello Atrium. Following Friday evening's concert, a Talkback Q&A session will be held in the Anello Atrium.
These concerts are the culmination of the MSO's Symphony360 initiative, a multi-week program designed to encourage conversation about great works. The MSO will host free, public listening parties around metro Milwaukee from September 28 – October 7 to listen and discuss both Brahms's German Requiem and Jennifer Higdon's "river sings a song to trees." Details, including listener's guides, recordings, and more listening party information, are available at mso.org/symphony360.
Jennifer Higdon's "river sings a song to trees" from City Scape was composed and premiered in 2002 as a result of a commission from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. A sweeping ode to the city of Atlanta, City Scape portrays different aspects of the city, from the infrastructure to the bustling roadways. The middle movement of the work, entitled "river sings a song to trees," is the most expansive. About the movement, Higdon wrote, "The waters represent constant change, under calm waters and over powerful currents, doing so with exquisite beauty. This is 'river sings a song to trees.'"
Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem (A German Requiem) was premieredin 1869. Starting two months after the death of his mother, the work took Brahms 14 years to complete. He chose to forgo the traditional structure of the Roman Catholic Mass and instead assembled non-liturgical sacred texts from Martin Luther's German translation of the Bible. Brahms's intention seems to have been a message of consolation to those left behind. The German Requiem is a model of orchestrational efficiency, using only the forces absolutely necessary to create maximum effect.
Robert Spano, conductor, pianist, composer, and pedagogue, is one of the most imaginative talents of his generation. Serving Atlanta as music director of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra since 2001, he has created a sense of inclusion, warmth, and community that is unique among American orchestras. As music director of the Aspen Music Festival and School, he oversees the programming of more than 300 events and educational programs for 630 students, including Aspen's American Academy of Conducting. The Atlanta School of Composers reflects Spano's commitment to American contemporary music. He has led ASO performances at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Ravinia, Ojai, and Savannah music festivals. Guest engagements include the New York and Los Angeles philharmonics; San Francisco, Boston, Cleveland, Chicago, and Philadelphia symphony orchestras; and Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala, BBC Symphony, and Amsterdam's Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Recordings for Telarc, Deutsche Grammophon, and ASO Media have received six Grammy Awards, with an all-Vaughan Williams disc released in September. Spano is on faculty at Oberlin Conservatory.
Soprano Jessica Rivera, possessing a voice praised by the San Francisco Chronicle for its "effortless precision and tonal luster," is established as one of the most creatively inspired vocal artists before the public today. The intelligence, dimension, and spirituality with which she infuses her performances on the great international concert and opera stages has garnered the Grammy Award winner unique artistic collaborations with many of today's most celebrated composers. Ms. Rivera's 2014.15 season features performances of Beethoven's Ninth Symphonywith Peter Oundijan and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Falla's Siete Canciones Populares with Nicholas Carter and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Mahler's Second Symphony with Laura Jackson and the Reno Philharmonic, and Theofanidis's Creation Oratorio with Robert Spano and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. She also reprises her critically acclaimed portrayal of Kitty Oppenheimer in John Adams's Doctor Atomic for her debut with Teatro de la Maestranza in Seville, Spain. Rivera most recently added two recordings to her extensive catalogue this season – an exclusive iTunes release of Robert Spano's Hölderlin-Lieder and her sophomore release with the Urtext label entitled "Classical Spanish Songs" with pianist L. Mark Carver.
Panamanian-American baritone Nmon Ford, a featured soloist on the 2010 Grammy Award-winning Transmigrations (Telarc) and the three-time Grammy Award-winning (including "Best Classical Recording") Songs of Innocence and of Experience (Naxos), has enjoyed many successful major debuts. In recent seasons, he sang both Scarpia (Tosca) and the title role in a new production of Billy Budd with Hamburg Opera, and with the Atlanta Symphony conducted by Robert Spano, he recorded Jennifer Higdon's Dooryard Bloom (written for Mr. Ford) and Vaughan Williams's Serenade to Music for Telarc. He made his Ravinia Festival debut with James Conlon conducting the Chicago Symphony in Shostakovich's Symphony No. 13, Babi Yar, which he also performed with Maestro Conlon and the Los Angeles Philharmonic at Disney Concert Hall. Additional engagements include Orff's Carmina burana with the Pittsburgh Symphony conducted by Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos and the role of Amfortas (Parsifal) with Los Angeles Opera, in a production by Robert Wilson starring Plácido Domingo and conducted by Kent Nagano. He received critical acclaim at Spoleto Festival USA in the title role of Mozart's Don Giovanni, in a production by Günter Krämer conducted by Emmanuel Villaume.
Milwaukee Symphony Chorus, directed by Lee Erickson, has become one of the finest symphony choruses in the country. Founded in 1976 by Margaret Hawkins at the request of the MSO's second music director, Kenneth Schermerhorn, the 150 volunteer members are dedicated to artistic excellence and performances of the highest caliber. The Chorus performs with the MSO throughout each season and also performs regularly at Ravinia with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. In addition, the chorus is featured on many of the MSO's recordings, including the current MSO Classics digital series. The 2014.15 season includes performances of Mozart's Don Giovanni, Brahms's German Requiem, and Orff's Carmina burana. Chamber groups from the chorus also perform Handel's Messiah in December. The 2013.14 season included performances of Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé, Schubert's Mass No. 6, and Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

|Mortal Gods: Ignition artwork.
News and primary sources on research and development that moves superhumans closer to becoming a reality aren't necessarily common. But dedicated investigation uncovers some serious information showing that it is happening.
Armed forces and governments of a variety of nations are among the major organizations exploring the creation of superhumans. The U.S. armed forces and government won't explicitly say they are researching and developing such technology and advancements, but they undoubtedly are. Governments of other nations, and private institutions are too.
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) issued a press release in March claiming, "Mammoth Milestones for Synthetic Biology," and it reveals some of the unique things being researched.
Gene editing allows scientists to combine woolly mammoth and elephant DNA, engineer pig organs for human transplants and create malaria-resistant mosquitoes that can pass their resistance to offspring. While gene editing could help eradicate some of the world's greatest global health concerns, it also has the potential to be a weapon of mass destruction.
The DTRA press release appears to focus more on how enemy states or organizations might manipulate traditional chemical and biological weapons to create new threats, and how the U.S. might counter these threats. But analyzing the press release shows that such R&D could lead to many more—and highly different—technologies and abilities as well.
Furthermore, the South China Morning Post, the state-linked Chinese media outlet, is more forthcoming about what the Chinese are doing regarding creating superhumans. An April article titled, "'It's most … most likely use, is the technology of human enhancement': Chinese scientists alter genes in human embryos in controversial study," provides some details.
In only the second paper ever published on genetic editing in human embryos, a team from Guangzhou Medical University described their attempt to mutate a gene found to hinder the spread of HIV in humans. …
The scientific community has long been divided over the subject of genetic modification of human embryos. One objection is the possibility of unintended consequences occurring in future generations, and another is that the technology could lead to the creation of "designer" babies created for the wealthy. …
"It's most plausible use, and most likely use, is the technology of human enhancement."
Sparrow said as the technique was more likely to be an early test for future genetic enhancement in humans.
"If you were serious about not wanting to go down this path where wealthy people are having children who have been genetically modified to have capacities that aren't available to the children of poor parents, then the time to try and stop it is now," Sparrow said.
American private institutions are looking into enhancing humans as well.
Mercury News reported in May that a secret meeting occurred at Harvard University where participants discussed creating synthetic humans.
Prominent Stanford scientist Drew Endy is denouncing a secret meeting held at Harvard University this week to discuss creating a synthetic human genome – essentially, constructing human life from scratch using chemicals. …
It portends a future with sci-fi implications, when a human genome – the complete set of genetic instructions for a human being – could be assembled like a Tinkertoy.
Mortal Gods: Ignition is an entertaining and thoughtful book featuring superhumans. But it is more than this. It is an acknowledgment that superhumans aren't just fantasy any longer as governments and organizations around the world are attempting to create them.
Superhumans are speculative fiction that someday will be reality.

Motivational Monday: Love, Life, Balance
"I learned again and again in my life, until you get your own act together, you're not ready for Big Love. What you are ready for is one of those codependent relationships where you desperately need a partner." ~ Bruce H. Lipton
It's not officially February, but it will be this week. Seeing it's a short month, I thought we could get started. I will be focused on Love, Life, Balance for a monthly wellness theme.
Bruce H. Lipton, PhD, possibly most known for authoring The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter, & Miracles, is actually a biologist by trade, but has proved to be both scientific and inspirational in reminding us to place emphasis on the role beliefs and perceptions have with respect to our overall physiological health.
One of his subtle reminders (or perhaps not that subtle…) seemed like a great place to start to intertwine the role of "love" into our daily lives, perspective, balance of our many priorities, and our overall health. Keep following this month for further wellness motivation, insight, and sometimes a little fun centered around this theme.

Starting from Scratch
Band Member Journal :
I got a reminder from Erik the other day that the last time I updated my little corner of the web site was on my birthday..2001! As they say, "time flies, when." So, what's been happening? Things at camp Marillion have been as mad as ever with Pontins being the highlight of the year so far. If you were there, thanks you so much for making it one of my favourite Marillion memories. There was something about the warmth and friendliness of everyone there that made it so special for me. Also Kai, my son, after a bit of arm twisting, joined in on Swap the Band too, which made a happy man very old. Let's face it - Pontins isn't most people's idea of a good place to visit for the weekend, but despite the shobby accommodation and dodgy food, it was brilliant. We are looking into a better venue for the next one. There will be a next one, maybe even more than one.
Last weekend the gigs in Bonn and Geleen were probably the last we will play this year. So now it's time to get down to the serious business of writing the next album. There seems to be a certain reluctance within the band to really get stuck into writing in earnest. Although we have some ideas down on tape already, we are still a long way off from complete songs. We always go through this stage, so don't worry. Am I writing this to reassure you or myself? A bit of both I suppose.
Starting from scratch on a new album always starts with a lot of groping around in the dark, hoping something will take shape soon. It can be quite frustrating at this stage because there is little we can do to hurry the process. Once we get to the point of arranging the ideas in to songs it always feels better. In a way the arranging stage is the hard work, but at least we are on the way and there is an end in sight. I imagine we will be well into arranging by the summer and start recording, with Dave Meegan hopefully, by the autumn. I'm bound to be wrong so don't quote me on this.
At home, I have a new (five-months-old now) baby girl, Tallulah, and I am really enjoying being a father a second time around. I have also found time to build a small home studio to start work on a album of my own music. All previous attempts by me to produce a solo album have ground to a halt with me feeling unhappy with the results. So far, this time things are progressing nicely. I won't start taking orders yet, but watch this space..
