Sierras de Málaga
Each bottle of wine that you buy is a living, breathing thing. The wine rests in bottle, sometimes ready to be opened right away, and in many cases, needing more peaceful sleep before it is ready to show its best. This wine from Sierras de Málaga in Southern Spain was a stubborn child. When we first tasted it after its long journey, it was intensely floral, lacking fruit, and out of balance. We weren't the only people that thought so. Sadly, the wine didn't sell well. After a certain amount of time, it was time for the importer to reduce the price, and get it into the consumers hands. When we tasted this wine again, more than 3 years after we first tasted it, we were stunned. That child had blossomed, this wine exuded gorgeous and complex aromas, beautiful peach and citrus blossom and just a hint of white flowers on the nose. The palate has exploded, fruit has come back, acidity is balanced and the length is very long. Of course I shouldn't be so surprised given that this comes from one of Spain's best winemakers, it's most influential wine personalities, Telmo Rodríguez. Málaga has a long history dating back to the times of Greek viticulture. By the beginning of the 19th century, this area produced more than any other in Spain. Moscatel is the king grape in Málaga, mainly know for its exuberant sweet wines. This Dry Moscatel was made from grapes from high elevation vineyards. Fermented in stainless steel with natural yeast, and kept on its lees for 9 months.

If you are on the lookout for top badminton rackets, Yonex is one brand that is sure to be mentioned a lot. From affordable to high-end models, from beginner-friendly to those that are designed for experienced players, they have a wide selection of rackets to suit every taste and skill. Among others, one of their popular products is the Yonex Nanoray 600.
If you want to make lightning-quick drives that will send a shock to your opponent, this top-of-the-line racket will make a great choice. It is designed for those who would like to attack faster without losing precision of their shots.
Read the rest of this review and know more about the things that you can expect from this racket. I will share with you its basic features, materials, and performance, which will help you carry out a well-informed decision.
Table of Contents
Technical Details
This racket weighs 83 grams, which gives it a weight classification of 4U. This is pretty much almost the same as most of the rackets that you can find from the company. If you prefer a lighter alternative, I suggest the Apacs Feather Weight 55, which is known as the lightest racket in the world.
Another thing that makes it similar to most of the Yonex badminton rackets is the grip size, which is G4. This makes handling it comfortable and easy, especially if you have been an avid user of the rackets of the company.
Meanwhile, the weight is evenly distributed from the top of the frame to the bottom of the handle. This makes it easier to handle than those that are heavier on the top. Nonetheless, as it will be mentioned later, this can be problematic when it comes to smashes.
Lastly, it comes with a flexible shaft. Even if the shaft is flexible, vibration is not that noticeable, which is perhaps because of having a rubber ferule.
The Good
Here are some of the benefits of using this badminton racket, which can provide you with a few good reasons to have it considered above others.
Fast and Responsive
The Yonex Nanoray 600 is for players who would like to have a racket that is excellent in terms of speed. This will allow you to quickly respond to the attacks of your opponent. Nonetheless, this is not going to match the speed of Yonex Nnaoray Z Speed, which is considered as the company's fastest racket.
For a racket that is easy to control, this can also be a promising option. One of the reasons for this is the even weight from the top to the bottom. However, take note that control will be easy only for those who are already experienced in playing.
If you want a racket that is going to withstand the test of time, you should pick this. It uses high-quality materials that are not easily prone to wear and tear.
With all of these benefits, you should not have a doubt that this is indeed a great racket. Click on the button below and get it today at a deal you will find hard to resist!
The Bad
For a fair assessment of the features of this racket, it is also worth mentioning that it has its own drawbacks.
Not as Great for Smashes
This is a racket that is light on the top, which is why your smashes may not be as astounding. For better smashes, you can consider Yonex Voltric 5FX or Yonex Voltric 80. As a head-light racket, this is better suited only for players who already have natural power.
If budget is an important consideration, you might want to stay away from this. There are cheaper alternatives, and Yonex Muscle Power 2 is one of them, although it should be noted that it is only for recreational players.
Material and Construction
Earlier, I mentioned that durability is one of the best assets of this product. It can be attributed to many things, one of which is graphite. It is used in the frame and the shaft.
It also has LSC system. There is an elastomer that is inserted into the frame, which can contribute to better comfort because of lesser vibration, even during an intense game.
Meanwhile, with the X-Fullerene structure of the shaft, you can expect up to 4% improvement in repulsion and 6% increase in stiffness, although the shaft category is still flexible.
Lastly, the frame comes with the Aero structure, which allows the bottom and the top part to have varying levels of thickness. This will result in improved head speed and repulsion.
Overall Performance
One of the most amazing things about this racket is how crisp the clears end up. The flexibility of the shaft is perhaps the reason for this. The drops are equally crisp and smooth. There is a little drag, which is quite less common for heavier rackets.
Smashes are great, but only if you have a natural power. Otherwise, you will notice that it is not going to be as impactful as those from a racket with a heavier head. This is understandable since a head-heavy racket usually performs better for smashes.
The flexible shaft offers an extra whip, which is also why it is a good choice for those who have a defensive playing style.
Who Is It For?
The Yonex Nanoray 600 will make a good candidate as a racket for counter-hitters. This is for those who value speed and power, although in smashes, you will need to exert more effort if you want it to stun your opponent. In terms of skill level, this is more appropriate for intermediate or advanced players. Meanwhile, in terms of budget, this is for those who have the money to spare.
In sum, the Yonex Nanoray 600 can be quite expensive, but it is worth every dollar that you will spend, especially if you are an experienced player. This is for those who have already mastered the fundamental skills. It is a fast and comfortable racket, which can greatly influence victory in your every game.

In September 2016, singing-songwriting duo Leanne and Naara got the biggest surprise of their lives when their debut single Again rose to the top of the Spotify charts, taking the No. 1 spot in the Philippines, No. 2 in Singapore and Indonesia, No. 3 in Malaysia and No. 12 in the Global Viral Charts.
From then on, they've become one of the most sought-after acts in the local music scene, doing regular gigs in popular music venues and performing in the biggest music festivals. They've also been nominated as New Artist of the Year at the recently held MYX Music Awards 2018.
Leanne Mamonong and Naara Acueza met in 2012 when they were freshmen at Assumption College. Their history of performing as a duo started when Leanne was asked to perform at a school event. She wasn't comfortable with the idea of using a minus one, so she tapped Naara to accompany her. The two did a bit of practicing just before going onstage, but the real connection happened when Naara started to put in her own flavor. Her blending with Leanne's voice was so on point that, from then on, people started asking them to play at almost every event.
They've been singing together for six years now.
We the Pvblic reached out to Leanne and Naara for a little bit of Q&A and they were game enough to talk to us about their sound, the inspiration behind each of their songs and their thoughts on the local music industry. Read on!
Your first ever professional gig – how and where did it happen?
Our first ever paid gig happened at Frank and Dean in BGC. Miguel Escueta, a friend and part-owner of the restaurant asked if we could do acoustic Thursdays and we were quick to say yes. This was just a few weeks before graduation. We really just wanted a venue where more people could know about our music and it ended up becoming a weekly thing.
Was getting to where you are now a struggle or was it as smooth as the sound of your music? ?
The people that discovered us made everything run so smoothly, but it's a blessing and a curse at the same time. Right after graduation, we were signed by Warner Music Philippines for a digital distribution deal. We were then given Sir Jonathan Ong as producer and he just made magic happen.
Our first single Again was a hit and it came as a shock to all of us. The challenge was in maintaining that quality that all those people worked very hard for. At the time, we were unsteady because we were clueless about the sound that we wanted. We were unsure as to where we wanted Leanne and Naara to go and so we feel like it's just now that we're starting to put it all together and have a clearer vision for the duo.
How did you create the "smooth and soothing" sound your duo is known for now? Was it a deliberate act of defiance against the pervasive trend of vocal belting in OPM?
That probably played a part in the creation of the sound. It came from a place that's used to hearing this kind of OPM that was more available then. Because of that, we started to write songs that we would also love to listen to and that we don't always hear.
Your debut single Again has been streamed on Spotify more than 10 million times. What are your thoughts on that?
Again's success was a beautiful surprise for everyone. It almost felt like beginner's luck, but we knew it wouldn't be possible without the genius that is Sir Jon Ong and the collaborative efforts of our management and our label. It's still surreal that it's been listened to over 10 million times even by people from outside the country. This song introduced us to the scene and to the listeners and for that we'll always be grateful.
How would you describe your music?
Our music is the kind that you would want to wake up to in the morning. You could also listen to it while watching the sunset. These are moments where you can put off everything that's been stressing you out and get out of your head for a bit. We think of music as something that should make you feel excited but also relax you and give off that feeling of relief. That's the sound we create because that's also the sound that we yearn for everyday. There's already too much noise in the world. We just want to give our listeners the kind of sound that would "hug" them after a long day.
Your music is largely identified as indie. Do you feel the same way?
It's indie in a way that we have the capability to express ourselves freely. We're not very restricted when it comes to topics that we want to discuss in our songs.
What are your thoughts on the state of the local indie music scene?
It's so wonderful to be part of something that is evidently thriving. We only got to discover more about the scene when we started playing professionally. Seeing all these talented bands at gigs made us feel like we were living under a rock. Our only wish is for more people to discover that OPM right now is very much alive — they just need to go to the right places.
Who are your musical influences and why?
A lot of the first few stuff we put out were influenced by the music of Norah Jones, Jason Mraz, Emily King, Stephen Bishop, Fitzgerald and Armstrong, and the like. We like to listen to blues, soul, jazz, and alternative rock from time to time, so it's like a clash of all those sounds. Lately, we've been trying to explore a different sound, so we listen to more artists as well.
Has anyone ever compared you to the American folk-rock duo The Indigo Girls?
Actually, no one has ever compared us to them. Funny thing that people would usually say is that we remind them of M2M.
Which musicians are you currently listening to?
Erykah Badu, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and Al Green are always going to be on our playlist. We've been listening to bands like Vulfpeck, PREP, and Honne. We also love the music of Daniel Caesar and Bruno Major.
What's your creative and collaborative process like? Who pens the lyrics and who composes the music?
It's Leanne who mostly comes up with the lyrics and the basic arrangement of the song. Naara then tweaks the chords and adds certain elements and movements that make the sound more interesting especially for live.
In a few words, tell us the inspiration behind each of the original songs that you've released so far – Again, Make Me Sing, New York and Back, and Run Run?
The story of Again happened at a point when Leanne had a hard time being emotionally present for the person she likes because she was too guarded. She becomes so frustrated and that drives her to write the song.
The inspiration for New York and Back came from a greeting card we saw at a mall once. The card said, "I love you to New York and Back" and we thought it would be sweet to create a love song out of it. It tells the story of love that doesn't go to sleep, just like the city that never sleeps.
Run Run talks about the struggle of choosing whether to go to a place that you've always been fascinated about but could be harmful to you or staying within the safe zone. Sometimes the things that we love aren't always good for us.
We rarely make music when we're in a very bright mood but Make Me Sing is an exception. It's simply about wanting to see the one that you love after being away from them.
How did you get signed up by Warner Music Philippines? How did it happen?
Leanne's friend was friends with Nina Ledesma who was part of the Warner Music PH team and they were looking for artists at the time. They contacted Leanne and she brought Naara along to the meeting (funny because Leanne actually lost her voice that very fateful day). After listening to our stuff and a few meetings, we decided to sign as a duo.
You've released five singles, so far. When do you plan to release a full-length album?
A full-length album might come after a year. We're planning to release a few more singles and hopefully an EP by end of the year.
Among your songs, which is your sentimental favorite and why?
It would probably be New York and Back because whenever we listen to that song, it brings us back to the first time Leanne wrote it, the first time we tried singing it. Leanne remembers the exact way her room was and how she wrote it at around 5:30 pm when It was almost sunset. The feeling she got when she was writing it was unforgettable. The mood was just everything. It's still very nostalgic.
What's your most memorable gig so far and why?
So far, the most memorable for Leanne is the recent Common Ground Music Festival at Frank and Dean. The place was not totally packed but it was great because people were seated, and they had this sort of calmness on their faces. The atmosphere wasn't toxic at all and it's obvious that people had come there to really unwind and listen to their favorite artists. During our set, it was quiet and not a lot of phones were up, but you could see that they were listening and moving their heads along to the beat. Also, we're a sucker for intimate gigs so that was a plus.
For Naara, it's the Street Teams Unite Part 2 because we got to interact with our fans, some of them coming from places that are really far. What also made it memorable was we got to sing New York and Back with a fan who had won an online contest that the street teams had organized. Women artists whom we love were also part of the lineup – Niki Colet, Reese Lansangan, Coeli, Clara Benin and Keiko Necesario. It was such an empowering gig that we very much adored.
What do you guys want to ultimately achieve with your music?
We want to change how people look at OPM. We want to show them that OPM is not limited to a certain sound and that Filipino artists are capable of putting out music that can be recognized on a global scale. Listeners ought to be more open-minded and trust that OPM artists of today can create music of high caliber. Only then will they be able to really appreciate how we are all working hard to keep OPM alive and change its face for it to survive the demands of audiences in the future.
What's your message to up-and-coming musicians who are working hard to find their space in the local music scene?
Keep putting out music and do your best to be visible. Be very loud about your vision. Reach out to people through social media or put your songs up on sites like soundcloud. There will always be people who will listen to your songs. It might not happen overnight, but you just have to trust the process and keep the hope alive. Never forget what got you started in the first place. We also believe in the power of prayer. Just do everything you can to be heard and don't stop even when you feel like you've already gotten to where you should be.

Is it possible to do something about guns, violence and stupidity in American culture? The fascination some men have with guns could be met by the possession of tools. The tools used to shape wood convey a sense of power and control, provided you've learned their proper use, and invested in the development of skill. Through the development of skill, direct relationship with reality is established and sustained.
There are lots of things that can go wrong in society, infecting people with malicious delusions. Generally speaking, however, we are made better and more whole when we are actively engaged in the creation of useful beauty.
My heart goes out once again to those who suffer from the serial events of violence that infect American culture. Some people say that guns are not the problem. I would say that people with guns IS a problem. Guns feed dark fantasies that are too often acted out.
Tools, on the other hand stimulate creative acts. When a man (or woman) has made something useful and lovely he or she is filled with a sense of self-love and self-appreciation. May we please work in that direction?
Today at the Clear Spring School, high school students will be working on independent projects and learning framing square math. Elementary students will be making animal habitats and projects from their imaginations.
Make, fix, create, and demonstrate skill so that others may learn lifewise.

I really respect people who wear what they want because, in order for this to work, you have to be courageous. Or at least, at first, appear to be. (I have to, like, brainwash myself a little bit sometimes.) You have to challenge anyone who gives you a funny look with a look of your own. Or don't acknowledge them at all, and they'll stand there a little dumbfounded. Maybe eventually they will grow up and realize how stupid it is to care about how other people look, and expect people to care that they care. If someone comments on your horn-rimmed glasses, or cheek piercings, you don't have to take it personally. If they glare at your polka-dot bell-bottoms, who cares. They're the ones who didn't recognise a Lanvin vintage. Do you know what I'm saying? It's also ignorance.
I think most people are afraid of taking risks in dressing and styling because they're afraid people will be like, "OH, SO YOU'RE ALL ARTSY NOW?" Nobody will say this if you act like it's no big deal. What such people don't get is that most people who wear outfits that stand out, or is different to what everyone else is wearing, or wear vintage clothes don't think of themselves as artsy, they're just exploring and trying to define their taste instead of being someone who likes whatever is handed to them for fear of being mistaken for pretentious.
People are afraid of trying to be creative because they're afraid that they won't succeed, but who said your "success" in getting dressed has to be evaluated by other people? As long as you're into what you're wearing and it makes you more comfortable with yourself, it doesn't matter if someone else thinks you've put together a perfectly composed outfit or not. Actually, the effect of your confidence will only add to how stylish your outfit seems. It's like the best catch-22 ever!
It's no wonder I'm so attracted to people who dress 'different' or even, outrageously, and doesn't care if he's got a red bowl-cut or a grey mohawk! And shallow, narrow-minded people who judge others and put them in boxes based on how they look really push my buttons.
Anyways. It will always be harder to get to be someone who doesn't care about what people think, but that's why you're a tiny little awesome warrior for even trying. And isn't that kind of exciting? Go forth, tiny warrior, and conquer!

During the meeting in the papal library, the Vatican said, the Pope and president discussed "matters regarding the implementation of the agreement recently reached by various political actors with a view to a definitive solution to the conflicts, the return of refugees and displaced persons, and the integral development of the country."
South Sudan gained its independence from Sudan in mid-2011 after years of fighting. But in December 2013, tensions between political factions erupted and civil war broke out. Tens of thousands of people have died in the past year and millions have been displaced.
In the context of the discussions about implementing the September peace agreements, the Vatican said, Pope Francis "expressed the wish to ascertain the conditions for a possible visit to South Sudan, as a sign of closeness to the population and of encouragement for the peace process."
In late 2017, Catholic Archbishop Paulino Lukudu Loro of Juba, Episcopal Archbishop Daniel Deng Bul Yak of South Sudan and Sudan and the Rev. Peter Gai Lual Marrow, moderator of the Presbyterian Church of South Sudan, visited the Vatican to explain the situation in their country to the Pope.
They invited Pope Francis and Anglican Archbishop Justin Welby of Canterbury to visit South Sudan together to bring a message of peace directly to the country's leaders and citizens; despite the willingness of the Pope and the head of the Anglican Communion to make the visit, the lack of security has delayed the trip.

Office spaces are a very important thing for those who are starting new ventures and are taking initiatives to bring up a new set up, business or a company. Getting an office space is a primary thing when they think about starting anything new.
There are some places which are solely made for a specific type of office or business. They have a specific ambience and culture which is unique to them. So be very careful and find if that ambience or culture matches your company or work profile. If not, then choosing this place may be harmful for your work. If it matches, then go ahead and enjoy your shared space with likeminded people. Basically what you need to do is, to find a work space where people and companies from the same industry operate. This is a best situation. There are many virtual office spaces in sohna road Gurgaon from where one can work on a regular basis if they work alone and want an official space for their work.
This idea of sharing a work space is also very affordable. The spaces are easy to share and are designed in such a way, that they have a lot of functionality and it is very comfortable to work in these spaces. Sharing makes a thing easy to afford. If an office space is unaffordable by a single person, they can easily take it on share and it becomes easy for them to work there.
One can choose shared office spaces according to their needs and affordability. One can go for temporary office set ups and can also go for closed permanent offices. The lease structure of a shared office space also depends on that. One can also choose a place according to their budget. This is a place for collaboration and one can choose a place according to their choice of ambience.
The major thing about co working is that it helps one to increase their network, both personally and professionally. When one is co working, the keep on encountering new people from every possible business sector and they might turn into a useful connection for you in near future. If you have just started a business and it is very small in scale then you will certainly be needing connections to improve and become a bugger initiative in what you are doing currently. If you keep meeting new people everyday some might turn out to be very useful in your business expansion.
It is also said that one becomes more creative when they work in a co working space. This is because; one has other people from other fields to consult on it. One can share their thoughts and ideas to others and can also discuss with them asking them what they think about it. One can also get a lot of suggestions from them as well.
Sp, when one is looking for a co working office space sohna road Gurgaon, then they should keep these things in mind so that they can select the right space for them.

NZ Wheelchair Rugby self funds all aspects of our sport. We are an organisation built on volunteerism and generosity of the NZ community.
Our National Wheelblacks Team, currently 8th in the world, represent us on the world stage and have a big Qualification trip to Switzerland coming up. If, or should we say when, successful we then get to attend the 2018 World Championships in Sydney five months later with the aim of medalling.
The men & women who play wheelchair rugby in New Zealand come together through hard work and sacrifice… and united by the shared experience of having a disability. Yet this disability doesn't define who they are – they are husbands & wives, sons & daughters, brothers & sisters… their lives defined by their jobs, their studies, their upbringing – their home cities and towns. And they are athletes.
Those that rise to the level of representing New Zealand are also defined by the title of being a Wheel Black. The Wheel Blacks are amongst our most talented, well trained and prepared athletes in the country… as well as being some of our most inspirational Kiwi's. Their grit and determination in the face of adversity is unquestionable and uncompromising.
Wheelchair Rugby is a mixed team sport for male and female athletes. A unique sport created by athletes with a disability, it combines elements of many sports, including basketball, rugby and ice hockey. Players compete in teams of four to carry a ball across the opposing team's goal line. Full contact between wheelchairs is an integral part of the sport as players use their chairs to block and hold opponents. Wheelchair Rugby is a Paralympic sport, with twenty‐six countries competing in international competition.
More about us

Simon Pegg has revealed more about his latest film Ready Player One, which he says isn't far from being a reality.
Pegg plays Ogden Morrow, co-creator of a virtual reality world called Oasis, in which people attempt to complete challenges so they can win the fortune of his recently deceased business partner.
The Shaun of the Dead star told Jamie East and Emma Sexton that mankind was close to Ready Player One becoming a reality because "social media is an opportunity for us to kind of project a version of ourselves onto the internet.
"As soon as we can interact physically with virtual stuff...we'll be there."
He added that he was still awed to be working with director Steven Spielberg. "I never lose that sense of 'wow' whenever he walks into the room, because of who he is.
"He is just a lovely human being and an incredible passionate creative. His genius is very apparent when you work with him."
Pegg added that you can watch Ready Player One "on a narrative level and follow the story" or "you can watch it on a purely visual level because its stunning to watch" or "you can watch it on a nerdy [level and] spot all the references."

The Fullest Volume 4: Addiction
Addiction. What does it really mean to be an addict? Aren't we all addicts in some form or another these days? We're addicted to chaos, love, food, drugs, alcohol, shopping… and the list goes on. We live in a consumerist society that thrives off our addictions.
In our most recent print issue we ask questions like: Does addiction stem from a lack of feeling whole? Is it hereditary? Is it learned? What about healing or overcoming an addiction? How do we do that? What do our weaknesses teach us? And how can we use them as catalysts that shape us into more connected, compassionate beings?
We hope you'll contemplate these questions as we explore the infinite world of addiction together. Because in the end, coming together is what ultimately helps us heal and move forward.

Yesterday I released a new Laravel package which makes it very easy to implement Font Awesome and will decrease your website size drastically in the progress. LaraFontAwesome adds blade directives that are replaced with their Font Awesome SVG counterparts on the server side before sending to the client.
<!-- Turns this -->
<!-- Into this -->
<svg viewBox="0 0 512 512" class="svg-inline--fa fa-w-16 fa-circle">
<path fill="currentColor" d="M256 8C119 8 8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248S393 8 256 8z"/>
The advantage of working this way is that there is no need to load the entire JavaScript font library or a full web font file. The only additional resource needed to display this icon correctly is a 4kb stylesheet that gets injected automatically. Icons are also displayed immediately and do not need to be rendered after the dom has been loaded, making the website look a lot faster.
An example of this package in production is this website. The implementation reduced the total size of the homepage from ~500kb to just ~95kb un-gzipped.

Prices increase every now and then and Tim Hortons has quietly upped the cost of some of their baked goods, mostly by $0.05 each. Not the biggest deal as 5 cents won't stop anyone from curbing their daily addiction.
The list of the new pricing went live late last week and varies depending on the region. Here in Toronto, a Timbit now costs a quarter and considering there is no more penny in Canada a donut jumps to a buck. Coffee prices and hot beverages stay the same.
- Donut $0.99: (was $0.95)
- Muffin $1.29: (was $1.15)
- Cookie $0.99: (was $0.95)
- Cinnamon Roll: $1.35 (was $1.25 – this is not the Ultimate Cinnamon Bun, which is $2.99)
- Tea Biscuit: $0.99 (was $0.95)
- Timbits: $0.25 (was $0.20)
- 10 pack Timbits: $2.09 (was $1.99)
- 50 pack Timbits: $8.49 (was $6.79 for the 40-pack)
- Croissants: $1.60 (was $1.50)
- Danish: $1.60 (was $1.50)
Update: "These new prices still reflect our competitive pricing within the marketplace and our commitment to value. We remain dedicated to bringing you the best products at the best value. Thank you for your loyalty and understanding." – Olga Petrycki, Senior Manager, Public Affairs, Tim Hortons
Below is the old and new items that are being displayed at some local Tim Hortons:

Tea or coffee?
It would have to be tea, since the weather here is a bit too hot for coffee. Besides, I've grown accustomed to it.
What is the worst thing about being a musician?
Sometimes, the worst thing about being a musician, is being a musician. (laughs) In a lot of stricter families, it is frowned upon. However, I'd say that being able to express yourself beyond simple words is more than worth the trouble.
If you could live the life of one vocalist for a day, who would it be?
Aretha Franklin. She is one of my most favourite vocalists ever, and I would like to know how it feels to have such a divine voice.
Your biggest musical fantasy?
If I can accompany even one person through their pain with my music, it would be my biggest musical fantasy fulfilled.

Houston [Texas], Mar 04 (ANI): The Rice University community is under shock after the death of Blain Padgett, a star member of the football team.
Padgett was a player for the school's football team. He was found dead in his off-campus apartment on Friday after missing a morning team workout.
The cause of death has not been determined.
According to Fox News, former Owls head coach David Bailiff said, "Its news that absolutely hits your heart and brings tears to your eyes. You reflect back on the last conversations you had with him. The big gut hug he gave you when you walked out the door. Shocked, saddened."
"Can't imagine what his parents and sister are going through because they're such a close family," added Bailiff. "Great kid, great player, team leader who influenced everyone around him. He would have played at the next level," Bailiff added.
Bailiff further said that Padgett would have played in the NFL.
Meanwhile, the new coach at Rice, Mike Bloomgren, said the team was devastated by the news. (ANI)

Transport Systems
What is a "Transport System"?
Ink jet printers, by the very nature of their design, require that the item to be printed or marked must move by the printer location in order to properly create the printed image or characters of the code.
If coding is being done on an automated bottle filling line the bottles are most likely moving along, in an organized single file, down a conveyor. As each bottle passes the printer location it can be jetted with the appropriate code. But what about items that are not neatly organized on an already moving conveyor?
Showing all 6 results
Packaging items such as flat cartons that have not yet been erected or filled require an additional system to move them in a fashion that will properly present them to the printer – a "transport system". Primary product cartons are usually delivered in shipping cases to the location where they will be used. They are packed tightly in flat form into such cases. In order to efficiently print such batches of flat cartons (or individually cut labels, or sleeves, or seed envelopes) these items need to be separated individually from a stack of multiple items, spaced consistently, moved passed the printer, and then be re-collected into an easy to handle stack. That series of steps is the function of a transport system.
Different types of packaging components require differing methods of separation and transport in order to hold each individual piece in proper alignment as it is removed from its stack and transported by the printer so that the printed image is correctly located and aligned with the package art work. A properly matched pair of packaging component and transport system will yield a high throughput of single items that have been properly separated from the original stack, held and aligned during transport, so as to give properly printed results ready to move to the next step of the packaging process.
At Griffin-Rutgers Co. we understand the difficulties presented by different types of cartons and other packaging items. We have a selection of different feeding and transport systems that we can combine to suit every need. Call us and allow us to apply our over 50 years of experience in supplying proper transport systems to the packaging industry to your specific need and budget.

UMCOR Responds with Thoughtful Urgency to Ebola Outbreak
August 28, 2014—The United Methodist General Board of Global Ministries is continuing to be present and respond to the needs in West Africa as health officials try to contain the Ebola outbreak that has infected more than 3,065 people. Denise Honeycutt, who leads the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR)—Global Ministries' humanitarian aid unit—has been in regular contact with Bishop Yambasu of Sierra Leone and Bishop Innis of Liberia.
According to Honeycutt, "We want them to know that UMCOR is with them and responding with urgency to whatever the needs are, to get them through this crisis."
To date, UMCOR has sent $383,000 in grants to Sierra Leone and Liberia. Funds are supporting tents and construction of isolation units, personal protective equipment, training for health staff, public messaging about Ebola, and safe handling of deceased bodies.

I was really charmed by this short movie, created by Charlie Short and Ming Hsiung for the Responsibility Project. It's titled Lighthouse and its message warms my heart.
So easy to have blamed, yet so much damage if that had been the route taken by the villagers. So tempting to blame, yet so much more useful to be part of the solution.
Happy weekend, everyone.

To be honest, it's easy to get stumped with hairstyle ideas, especially in the morning, when you're too frazzled to think creatively. When all else fails, we often turn to the default 'do every girl has mastered—the ponytail. But there's actually a genius trick to elevate your basic look that requires almost zero effort: tie a ribbon or fasten a bow.
Yes, that simple strip of colored cloth can add a bit of "oomph". Here are the prettiest ideas that will inspire you to wear ribbons daily!
A navy blue velvet ribbon adds a classy touch.
Mix preppy and boho by tying a thick striped ribbon around a messy ponytail.
Look retro with this powerful trio: Colored ribbon, high ponytail, and micro bangs.
Polka dots give a retro feel, too!
Relive your '80s childhood by placing a white bow on your ponytail.
Adorn a high bun with a pink silk bow for a dainty effect.
A classy fascinator can be the highlight of your outfit!
Make a braided bun look extra with a thin black ribbon.
Organza bows around pigtail buns are ridiculously cute!
Dress up an undone bun with a black ribbon loosely tied around it.
Black ribbon and a low ponytail make for a classic look.

The package encountered a handling mishap and was lost by the post office, despite tracking.
The package was uninsured, resulting in a lost package with no monetary refund.
This seller offered the buyer a 50% refund, which the buyer rejected.
The buyer then filed a Paypal claim and received a full refund as a result of the claim.
