One of the seminal figures in the development - some would say, the assault - of early rock 'n' roll, Jerry Lewis always possessed pure country credence as well. His initial outings mined the full spectrum of his rural Louisiana roots, bringing them to bear in a daring, often outrageous display of unrepentant madness and machismo that rivalled Little Richard and even Elvis himself in terms of sheer bravado.
Consequently, it's a credit to Lewis' sheer tenacity that as he closes in on his 80th birthday, the inner flame of the man once dubbed "The Killer" shows no sign of fading anytime soon. While "Rock & Roll Time" seems a bit too obvious a title for anything bearing his imprint, the new album does stay true to his tenacious attitude even while showing obvious reverence for his roots.
That results in a series of obvious choices - a couple of Chuck Berry covers via "Little Queenie" and "Promised Land," an equally expressive representation of stir-fried country in the southern sway of "Keep Me in Mind" and a terrific take on "Folsom Prison Blues" and no small nod to the blues, as expressed through the well worn staple "Bright Lights, Big City" and an obscure Bob Dylan throwaway "Stepchild." It's the usual musical mix, of course, but with Lewis' vocals still as strong and unwavering as ever - and a terrific support cast that includes Keith Richards, Ron Wood, Jim Keltner, Robbie Robertson, Nils Lofgren and Greg Leisz - none of it seems a stretch, even at his age.
Those who haven't checked out The Killer in a while will be pleased to find he's still going about his business with the same heads down determination as ever. After all, a true rocker never changes his stripes. In the case of Mr. Lewis, it's a matter of merely broadening the designs.

SOUTH CARROLTON, Ky. (10/11/19) — A tossed bag led to the confiscation of a reported 90 grams of crystal meth at a South Carrollton residence today.
Pennyrile Narcotics Task Force reported serving a warrant 10:31 a.m. to 50-year-old Mark D. Fulton at 53 Spring St.
Muhlenberg County Sheriff's Office Detective Troy Gibson paid Fulton a visit following a joint investigation conducted over the past several months involving PNTF, MCSO and the DEA, PNTF Director David Thompson reported.
Gibson was serving a search warrant, when deputies made contact with Heather Baskerville, who had several warrants, PNTF reported. Fulton also was outside and "threw a bag of methamphetamine under a vehicle (nearby)."
Around 90 grams of crystal meth valued at $9,000 on the street was discovered after a search of the home, according to the report. Fulton was in possession of more than $1,000.
Fulton was charged with first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance (meth-more than 2 grams), tampering with physical evidence and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He was taken to Muhlenberg County Jail, where he was listed as being held this evening, pending bond. Baskerville was charged with parole violation for another police agency.
Constables Tim Franklin and Ronald Hambrick along with Kentucky State Police assisted.

Steve Rannazzisi Confronts 9/11 Lie
Comedian and actor Steve Rannazzisi ("The League," Comedy Central) came to the show this morning to break his silence about the controversy that arose in September when the New York Times exposed his elaborate 14-year fabrication about being in World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
Rannazzisi explained that he wanted to do it on the Stern Show because "you're personified with New York," he said to Howard. "I know that [your] audience are the people that I want to say 'I'm sorry' to."
During the course of the interview Steve addressed when he first told the lie and how it grew quickly from there as well as the effect on his family and career, what his therapist said, and his thoughts on Brian Williams among other topics.
Read more about his comments here.
Steve Rannazzisi Post-Interview
"I found that very, very heavy," Howard said coming out of the interview. "We're all just sort of exhausted from it."
Robin said she was rethinking her opinion about a debate they were having before Steve came in about whether Steve's lie or people who lie about being in the military was worse. Howard still thought the military ones worse. "I'm weirded out by the whole thing," he noted.
While callers were chomping at the bit to get a hold of Rannazzisi, Howard only turned to the phones after he left. Many shared the sentiment of one caller that "he's got to face the music a little more."

Risk Management and Asset Protection – Peace of Mind
Risk Management and Asset Protection are all too often treated as an afterthought. Unfortunately, too often people draw excessive comfort from a trouble-free past and blindly project this experience forward. In fact, they regularly do this at their peril.
The reality is that there are many events that can potentially threaten your business, lifestyle and the wealth you have created.
Negative events don't just happen to 'other' people – they happen to people just like you!
This is why Risk Management and Asset Protection are so critical!
Risk Management – Eliminate and Mitigate
Creating the lifestyle, wealth and security you seek, is only half the battle. Hanging onto it is equally important, otherwise years of work can disappear overnight!
To reduce the risk of something going wrong, you need to actively employ good business management practices to identify threats, eliminate risk or where this is not possible, mitigate them.
Many risks can be eliminated or reduced to acceptable levels so long as you have identified them and taken appropriate action.
Nevertheless, not all risk can be eliminated.
Risk Management and Asset Protection – Hope for the Best, Plan for the Worst!
Risk Management and Asset Protection are about recognising that significant negative events do occur and that not all risks can be eliminated! You must plan for the worst and reduce the impact to the greatest extent possible.
This starts with:
- Operating your business through the appropriate legal structure
- Separating legal title of your business assets from business risk and liabilities
- Separating legal title of personal assets from business risks and liabilities
- Separating business assets from potential personal risks and liabilities
- Actively employing suitable business management practices to identify threats and avoid risks or mitigate them
Risk Management and Asset Protection – Protecting Your Wealth and Future
At Fortitude, we help with Risk Management and Asset Protection by identifying your key risks and implementing appropriate mitigation and protection strategies. This involves reviewing your:
- Business's legal structure and asset ownership arrangements
- Personal asset ownership arrangements
- Estate planning and current personal risk mitigation initiatives
- Business management, planning, practices and current risk mitigation initiatives
Those with enough experience in business and life know that things go wrong, sometimes seriously wrong! They hope for the best – but plan for the worst!
Taking this approach could protect you from catastrophe and having to start all over.
If you would like to learn more about how Fortitude Business Consulting can help you with Risk Management and Asset Protection, and safeguarding the wealth you create, give us a call today on 1300 551 040.

Ok, today was the most TIRING day in my entire life! It started at 7:00-when my alarm rang. It kept on ringing. And ringing. And ringing. I finally turned it off to get some more sleep, when my MOM came in. She eventually dragged me out of bed. Then,as the school day d r a g g e d on, It was science! (Ugh). I actually was trying to keep my eyes open. I was writing as slow as a snail; and all my teacher said was "blah blah blah blah". Then, at 3:30, you would think "go home and to BED." WRONG! I still had 45 minutes of ballet. Then, when I got home, I was JUST ABOUT to get dressed. Then, guess who showed up? My MOM! I lay down on the bed and it was the best thing that happened to me all day! (aahh…)
So, now it's 8:21PM and I have cramps in both arms and legs. (Ow!) Well, mainly my arms.
Well, I need to go experience what it's like to be in bed. Hope you enjoyed!

Office Movers
Some people dream of moving! We make it happen.
When your business outgrows its current location, and you must find a new place for your company to call home, you'll need to hire a reliable office moving company that can handle large, awkward pieces of furniture, complete the move swiftly, and provide exceptional customer service and communication throughout the experience.
The friendly movers of Ameramove are your experienced and reliable office movers in Dallas.
Each day your employees can't come into work is a day of lost productivity, growth, and profits, and that's why office moving companies must work swiftly to relocate the contents of your business space. Whether you're moving to a bigger office space in your downtown Dallas high-rise, or you're moving across town, we know it's important to arrive on time and on budget.
We'll Help Coordinate Your Office Move
If you've ever moved from one home to another, you know there are a variety of items to accomplish, from switching your utilities to packing everything you own. You can apply the same wisdom to an office move, but you may need to add some extra complexities like dismantling, transporting, and reassembling computer networks.
Office moves aren't necessarily more difficult than residential moves, but they do require some different moving techniques. For example, your office furniture movers may need to disassemble large desks and handle several heavy pieces of furniture that might not be present in an office move. Families usually have just one or two desks in their homes, but business owners may have more than a hundred desks that must be relocated.
Additionally, we're experienced in relocating items like files that must remain intact during the move. You don't need to worry about emptying a hundred filing cabinets so that you can relocate those files across town. We'll handle all the complex, heavy, and careful moving details, so you can concentrate on running your business rather than the move.
Work with a Trusted Office Moving Company
Our employees are like family, and we're sure the people who work for you are important to your organization, too. We ensure each of our movers is experienced and ready to assist with specialty moving tasks, and our drivers are experienced in navigating all transportation routes, from downtown moves through heavy traffic to rural moves across the county.
We know that our success depends on your complete satisfaction with the moving experience, and that's why we focus on providing exceptional service at every step of the way. From the moment we meet with you to discuss your office move in the Dallas area to the day we begin packing and transporting, we want you to place your trust in us as your office moving company.
Ameramove, Your Dallas Office Movers
As a business owner or manager, you probably have to juggle quite a few responsibilities each day at work, and adding a complex office move to your busy schedule can create stress in an otherwise smoothly working company.
Let Ameramove handle the arrangements for transporting your office furniture, computers, and equipment. We offer experience as office furniture movers, and we can also transport any type of equipment, files, and various devices that your business utilizes. We'll create a tight timeline that will have you opening your doors at your new company home in a swift, efficient, and orderly manner.

POWERBake® 8000 fungal xylanases guarantee a more efficient and stable baking process, increasing the final product's volume.
DuPont announces the launch of a new generation of enzymes within the DuPont™ Danisco® POWERBake® range for the bakery industry.
POWERBake® 8000 is a line of fungal xylanases that has unique advantages for bakery manufacturers. In addition to improving the final product characteristics, it also improves the consistency in flour quality.
According to Deia Vilela, food enzymes director at DuPont, "DuPont has extensive experience in the food market and this launch further strengthens and complements our broad enzymes portfolio. Our innovations aim to bring important benefits to the baking industry. This new technology helps to maintain more robust production, process standardization and economic advantages."
One of the greatest challenges in the baking industry is the variation in the flour quality that can result from using wheat. The quality of the flour depends on factors inherent to each wheat grain harvest: place of origin, soil, humidity, temperature, and baking manufacturers cannot always control this variation.
"The new POWERBake® 8000 range of fungal xylanase enzymes, improves the balance between stability and extensibility of the dough, creating faster development of the gluten network and with a greater tolerance of the dough, which are ideal factors during the baking process. This new generation of enzymes, minimizes the variation between flour batches and improves the quality of the end product" says Eduardo Pimentel, bakery innovation manager at DuPont Nutrition & Health.
Additional advantages of the DuPont™ Danisco® POWERBake® enzyme range includes:
With a long history of investing in research on enzymes, emulsifiers, and other ingredients and a strong knowledge of how these ingredients interact in food, DuPont can deliver the right solutions for its customers. Coupling that knowledge with a focus customer insight and on meeting local needs of rapidly developing markets makes DuPont a strategic partner in the bakery industry.
DuPont™ Danisco® is the brand for a range of ingredients that help provide enhanced bioprotection, an improved nutritional profile, and better taste and texture with greater cost efficiency and lower environmental impact, meeting the needs of manufacturers of food and beverages, dietary supplements and pet food. Through the work of the global network of food scientists and technologists in DuPont, the Danisco® range is supported by a uniquely broad spectrum of know-how across applications and processing.

"For females to be subordinated and subjugated to males on a global scale, and for males to organize themselves and each other as they do, billions of female individuals, virtually all see life on this planet, must be reduced to more-or-less willing toleration of subordination and servitude to men. The primary sites of this reduction are the sites of heterosexual relation and encounter – courtship and marriage-arrangement, romance, sexual liaisons, fucking, marriage, prostitution, the normative family, incest and child sexual assault. It is on this terrain of heterosexual connection that girls and women are habituated to abuse, insult, degradation, and girls are reduced to women – to wives, to whores, to mistresses, to sex slaves, to clerical workers and textile workers, to the mothers of men's children"
And on patriarchy being the bedrock of oppression:
"Without (hetero)sexual abuse, (hetero)sexual harassment and the (hetero)sexualization of every aspect of female bodies and behaviours, there would not be patriarchy, and whatever other forms or materializations of oppressions might exist, they would not have the shapes, boundaries and dynamics of the racism, nationalism, and so on that we are so familiar with."
Both selections from The Willful Virgin.
Megan Murphy last night at the Vancouver Public Library:
"Despite what transactivists claim it is not illegal to understand that biological sex is real and that it matters which is essentially what I and other women have been smeared, censored and no-platformed for saying . It's also not illegal to understand that a woman is an adult human female. It's not illegal to defend women's transition houses and to argue that when women are escaping male violence they should have access to spaces that make them feel safe where they can speak to women who understand what it's like to grow up female in this world and where they can be assured that they won't be made more vulnerable by having to share a room with a man.
It is not illegal to understand that male bodies and female bodies are different and that women and girls have the right to compete in sports under fair terms against other women and girls not against men who, in most cases, would have an unfair advantage…
It's not illegal in Canada for lesbians to limit their choices in intimate partners to women only and to refuse sexual partners with penises."
— Meghan Murphy (Excerpt from speech at Vancouver Public Library)
— Why we can't just let them have the word woman —
——————- Part 1: General thoughts ——————-
Every time a woman asserts a boundary, the echoes start rolling in…
Can't you just be nice?
Can't you just take pity on the poor fella?
Can't you just lie to make him feel better?
Can't you just sacrifice yourself, again?
… isn't that what women are supposed to do?
It should be obvious that this is an extremely sexist insistence on women's obligation to put everyone else first, and also highly revealing of just how entitled people feel towards everything to do with women – our resources, our bodies, our time, our empathy, and now even the very words that define us.
Yet the trans takeover of popular feminism has been so gradual and so manipulative that many have found themselves groomed into something that acts very much like a misogynistic cult.
Unlike any other civil rights movement, the one for women's liberation is expected to solve everyone else's issues before we might – hypothetically – be allowed to stand up for our own rights and needs.
Rather than fight against male supremacy, male violence and male exploitation of women, we are told, once again, that we need to not only include men, but center them, defer to them, shrink ourselves for their benefit.
These days "inclusion" always means inclusion of males. The women and girls who don't want to be around men and boys, who want to be safe, have privacy and maybe even dare talk about women's issues? We aren't included. We aren't deemed important.
Boys must be included in girls' locker rooms and wherever else they want to go. The girls? Well they're bigots if they say anything about it.
This is called progressive.
That is not only madness, it is saying in no uncertain terms that the whims of males matter more than the safety, rights and very definition of females.
Women are not your fucking giving trees. We are not resources to be harvested by men, used, abused, consumed and thrown away.
And here's the thing. The thing that means the trans activists will never be satisfied, that the moving of the goal posts will never ever end:
A man cannot become a woman.
No matter how much you wish, how much you threaten, how much you throw yourself on the ground and demand, demand, demand.
These entitled, misogynistic, rage-filled men are so used to getting their way that they fancy themselves the rulers of material reality.
They cannot accept or even fathom that this delusional desire is out of reach of their grabby, male hands.
Their demands will never end, because they are impossible to satisfy.
Even if they burn every witch, even if they call the truth hate speech, even if they pick our bones clean…
Those bones will still be female.
And theirs never will be.
Even with all the power and male aggression in the world, you cannot force a lie to become true.
Men cannot have the word woman, because the truth fucking matters.
And so do women and girls.
"There has been little acknowledgement of the way in which trans politics demands far more of women than it does of men, perhaps because this would require an acknowledgement of the fact that male/female remains as much, if not more, of a dominant axis of oppression as trans/cis. Why aren't we claiming that "men" needs to become a more inclusive category? If men can get pregnant too, why aren't men's rights activists campaigning for abortion rights? Why does pregnancy become a de-politicised "people's" issue while testicular cancer remains a men's issue? If sex is irrelevant, why are female people always the ones expected to cede linguistic and physical ground?
Pregnant with my third child, I faced more than one self-righteous male informing me that "biological sex is a construct." The arrogance of this is staggering. Every single human being on this planet exists because of the reproductive labour of female bodies. Around 830 women die every day due to preventable pregnancy complications. The world is missing an estimated 90 to 100 million women due to the extermination of female – not feminine – infants. In such a situation, to boldly declare that you "see no sex difference" reveals both ignorance and privilege. We're back to the idea that female people cannot be credible witnesses to their own lives.
If men were genuinely invested in supporting trans women, there's an obvious thing they could do: stop pretending it is inevitable for "masculine" men to respond with violence to the idea that those who wish to socially transition to womanhood remain biologically male. As feminists have been arguing for decades, maleness and femininity can coexist. If the thought of that makes some men violent, then the problem lies with how men see maleness, not with feminists refusing to treat womanhood as a catch-all category for anything men don't want to be.
Andrea Dworkin suggested when it comes to justifying misogyny, the right has religion while the left has nature. Trans politics has offered up a suitably postmodern amalgam of both. Are we dealing with scientifically verifiable proof of the "gendered" brain? Or with some mystic, soul-like essence known as "gender identity"? In many ways, it doesn't matter which, as long as both are reinforcing a male view of how masculinity and femininity work.
I am tired of men posing as more open-minded than feminists, when in fact they're behaving in the exact same way men have always behaved towards women. If you're a male person telling a female person to be silent about her experiences of gender and power, you're not only doing feminism wrong, you're exemplifying the very values you claim to undermine. "

Inspecting the tobacco stockpile left with New Zealand Customs as a result of duty free allowance change put in place by Minister of customs Nicky Wagner.

On the 1st of November, the duty free limits on tobacco were reduced. You could once purchase 200 cigarettes duty and tax free, however that has now been reduced to 50 cigarettes duty and tax free.
Hon Peseta Sam Lotu-Iiga says, "We all know the damage that smoking has on our society, it's still the biggest preventable death and loss of health to our community."
The Government is pushing for a smoke free New Zealand by 2025, it is one of the key reasons the allowance for Duty Free has dropped, but what happens to the left over goods.
Geoffrey Rollinson says, "We take it to a facility where it will get shredded, then it gets mixed with other types of waste, and then it goes in an enclave which is basically a pressure cooker."
"So the health effect of the reduction in the number of cigarettes that are on the market, in terms of those smoking, we've seen it decline, and this is another positive step to a smoke free New Zealand by 2025," says Lotu-liga.
According to Wagner, "We do know that the biggest deterrent for smoking besides education, is price, and as the price goes up, and you will be aware that there is a continuous 10% increase over ten years."
The Minister of Customs has informed the Airports around the world about the change in Duty Free allowance, the majority of these cigarettes are gifts to people, but today, a decrease in allowance is an increase in health.

Glossier, the practically four-year-old, direct-to-consumer magnificence firm, has landed $52 million in Sequence C funding in what it describes as a closely oversubscribed spherical. The financing was led by earlier traders IVP and Index Ventures.
The New York-based firm — which advanced out of the favored weblog Into the Gloss by founder and CEO Emily Weiss — started promoting its personal make-up on the outset however has extra lately added physique and perfume merchandise, too, bringing its complete variety of choices to 22. One of many firm's hottest merchandise is a mascara-like eyebrow filler known as Boy Forehead. Amongst its latest: a strong model of its perfume, You.

The 150-person firm doesn't disclosed its income numbers, but it surely tells us Glossier noticed 3 times as a lot income final yr as in 2016. It additionally opened places of work in London and Montreal, after quietly buying a small Canadian digital technique studio known as Dynamo. (Certainly one of Dynamo's cofounders, Bryan Mahoney, is now Glossier's CTO.)
And Glossier opened up a sixth-floor showroom in the identical SoHo constructing the place its places of work are positioned. Even with out a street-level window, it generates extra gross sales income per sq. foot than the typical Apple retailer, Weiss instructed New York Journal in a glowing cowl story about Glossier that ran final month.

A lot of the corporate's magic seems to be rooted in simplicity. As a substitute of providing 15 shades of lipstick, for instance, it tells its clients it has developed probably the most universally flattering purple lipstick with a view to make it easier for them to decide on a shade.
The corporate additionally prides itself on the quite a few methods it retains communication channels to its customers extensive open. Past its in style weblog, Glossier makes use of Instagram in addition to any model, and in late 2016, it started testing a consultant program to begin paying probably the most highly effective of its "Glossier Women" — previously unpaid model evangelists — which it says has grown tremendously.
The reps obtain advance discover of latest merchandise; they're additionally usually requested to take part in suggestions periods, they've direct entry to Glossier's staff, and they're invited to and host their very own neighborhood occasions, in addition to discuss Glossier's merchandise on social media. (Along with entry to Glossier goodies, they every have their very own touchdown pages on Glossier.com the place followers can study extra about them.)
Weiss spoke at an occasion hosted by this editor final yr, the place she famous that at the present time, not solely is the shopper at all times proper, however because of social media — whether or not it's a product overview on Amazon or an Instagram put up — that buyer "has a microphone and he or she's reaching 50, 500, 5,000 or 500,000 of her nearest and dearest mates and is ready to discuss her preferences."
It's why Glossier is so laser centered on "transparency" and "voice," Weiss had defined.
"We wish to assume that at any time when we speak to [our customer] by means of captions on Instagram or by means of e mail or by means of copy on the positioning, that we're writing textual content messages to a buddy." For Glossier, "staying true to that voice has created numerous loyalty and belief with our clients."
It apparently has Glossier's traders feeling very loyal to the corporate, too. With its latest spherical, Glossier has now raised $86 million from them altogether.

WITH VIDEO: Malloy visits Middletown, says he's 'ready for job as governor'
MIDDLETOWN -- Dannel Malloy, who is exploring a run for governor, spoke of his long-term dedication to government service and his desire to grow the state's economy Friday at a fund-raiser for his candidacy held at Luce Restaurant.
He acknowledged the job of the state's next chief executive would not be an easy one -- "You would have to be crazy to want to be governor," he said -- but compared the state's problems, and his desire to fix them, to a fire that a well-trained firefighter would want to contain.
"This is a fire I am prepared to run to -- to rebalance our state, to straighten out our books," he said.
Malloy, 54, told a crowd of about 40 that included Portland First Selectman Susan Bransfield and state House Majority Leader Denise Merrill about his accomplishments in his 14 years as mayor of Stamford.
In that job, he said, he tripled investment in infrastructure, started a citywide prekindergarten program, and maintained the city's triple-A bond rating while not raising taxes by more than the rate of inflation.
He listed some of his priorities as closing the achievement gap, building a first-class transportation system, lowering electricity rates, and multiplying jobs, adding that between 1989 and 2008 the only two states that did not experience job growth were Michigan and Connecticut.
"We have failed to grow our economy," he said, noting that the nation's insurance capital is no longer Hartford but now Des Moines, Iowa.
Malloy, a Stamford native, grew up the youngest of eight children, handicapped by physical and learning disabilities he said prevented him from tying his shoe or buttoning his shirt until the fifth grade. He went on to graduate from Boston College Law School and passed the bar by taking the essay part of the exam orally.
A second-time gubernatorial hopeful, he is one of many who have announced their intention to run to be the state's chief executive: on the Republican side, his opponents currently include Lt. Gov. Michael Fedele and Greenwich businessman Tom Foley, while from within his own party he faces millionaire Ned Lamont and his former running mate, Simsbury First Selectman Mary Glassman.
Malloy has said he is committed to using public financing for his campaign and in an interview took a swipe at his wealthier opponents.
"Everybody has the right to spend their money the way they want to," he said. "Some give it to charity, some give it to Haiti, some run for office."
With homegrown politician Susan Bysiewicz switching her sights from the office of governor to that of attorney general, local Democrats are newly looking around at the field. While some, including state Rep. Matt Lesser, D-100, said they have not yet committed to a candidate, others have already thrown their support behind Malloy.
"He understands the plight of cities," said state Rep. Joseph Serra, D-33. "I think he's the best man for the job. He's very down to earth, very sociable."
Durham Democratic Town Committee Chairwoman Laurie Stevens said she backs Malloy because he has the ability to hit the ground running.
"I am so pleased to see someone running for governor who has the skill set," she said.

Madoka Magica Drama CD 3: Farewell Story
The Drama CD came with the "Puella Magi Madoka Magica DVD volume 5. The official title for this Drama CD is "Farewell Story".
The story takes place before the events in the anime. This is the story of how Kyoko met Mami for the first time, how she became a proficient fighter, and what lead to Kyoko's disillusionment with her naive ideals. We are also introduced to Kyoko's happy family before their tragic demise.
- Kyoko saves Madoka and Sayaka from a Witch's labyrinth. This is from a period of time when she still had a family and hadn't become selfish and cynical.
- The events take place before the beginning of Episode 1, and seem to be taking place in the main timeline of the events from the anime, with Kyoko recounting her past to Homura.
- The Drama CD indicates that Madoka and Sayaka are in Class 1A, perhaps indicating they're first years (a possible indicator that the events are taking place approximately one year before the anime events, give or take).
- The timelines diverge on the day when Homura wakes up in the hospital, so events prior to that are unaffected by her resets.
- We do not know the exact date when Kyoko and Mami met for the first time (but it is suggest it was the year before). The day when Homura wakes up from the hospital is March 16, if the events are taking place prior to that date then they wouldn't be affected by the resets. The likelihood that the events in the Drama CD are taking place after March 16 is small and unlikely.
- If the events in the Drama CD are taking place prior to the anime series, then this could be considered to be a "short prequel".
- "Puella Magi Kyoko/Mami Magica" would make an awesome OVA.
- The events take place before the beginning of Episode 1, and seem to be taking place in the main timeline of the events from the anime, with Kyoko recounting her past to Homura.
- Mami takes Kyoko under her wing as her 'Senpai' to teach her how to become a proficient fighter.
- Mami convinces Kyoko to name her final attack, "Rosso Phantasma," (Red Illusion/Phantom). This matches Kyoko's color scheme as well as Mami's choice of Italian attack names. Kyoko finds Mami's naming to be amusing.
- This isn't the only time Kyoko laughs at Mami's attacks naming habit. Kyoko ridicules Mami's "Tiro Finale" in the Drama CD "Sunny Day Life"
- Mami convinces Kyoko to name her final attack, "Rosso Phantasma," (Red Illusion/Phantom). This matches Kyoko's color scheme as well as Mami's choice of Italian attack names. Kyoko finds Mami's naming to be amusing.
- After the death of Kyoko's family, Kyoko becomes disillusioned and loses her ideals, resulting in an argument with Mami over familiars. She wants to leave because they no longer share the same values, but Mami tries to stop her and they end up in a battle. Kyoko wins leaving the defeated Mami in tears, crying over being all alone once more.
- In the final scene, Homura asks for Kyoko's help in defeating Walpurgisnact, similar to the anime.
- It is difficult to tell if this scene is taking place during Timeline 5 but it is likely that it is.
- The shrieking of Witches in this Drama CD is disturbing once you know the truth about Witches.
- Kyoko's younger sister gets an official name: Momo. This implies that her actual name may be Momoko Sakura (佐倉 桃子).
- We finally get to hear the voices of Kyoko's family; her father, her mother, and her little sister.
- Kyoko's father is voiced by [insert name]; Kyoko's mother is voiced by Kikuko Inoue(?); and Kyoko's little sister, Momo, is voiced by [insert name].
- Kyoko's younger sister refers to herself in the third person, much like Yuma Chitose.
- The first witch to appear in the story may be a reference to the "Minotaur" in ancient Greek mythology. Some fans speculate that the girl who turned into this witch is an illegitimate daughter.
Kyoko's mother from Episode 7, a visual approximation.
This section contains fanart imagesEverything in the following fan gallery is created, or the comments accompanying them are created, for entertainment value and should not be confused with actual canon events of the Puella Magi franchise.

Top UK bank accounts for international students 2020
Whether you're an international student studying in the UK on a year abroad or for the long haul, knowing where to bury your treasure is a must!
Good news! Compared to many countries, banking in the UK as a foreign student is usually pretty easy and there's a good amount of choice.
That said, choosing the best bank account for you depends on your personal circumstances such as how long you are staying in the UK and whether or not you reside in an EU country.
First, we'll outline the most important things to consider, then list the best bank accounts for international students and suggest potential alternatives. 🙂
What's in this guide?
Why open a British bank account?
Setting up a bank account may be another boring life admin task to deal with, but it's worth investing the time as it could save you a fair amount of cash and headaches!
Managing your finances from your home country account can be impractical and expensive for many reasons:
- You'll be charged currency conversion fees each time you use your debit card or withdraw cash in the UK
- Currency exchange rates fluctuate making budgeting difficult (convert currency using TransferWise for the best rates)
- If you're planning on working part-time, employers will want to pay your wages into a UK bank account
- Your accommodation provider will likely prefer payments from a UK account
- Setting up recurring payments (direct debits and standing orders) will be tricky or impossible. These are needed for paying mobile phone contracts, gym memberships and rent
- Paying back friends in the UK would be complicated
- In some countries, like France for example, banks require you to send them hand-written letters to set up Direct Debits to foreign accounts. Plus they'll charge you a fee for the transfer!
- If you get locked out of your account because you've forgotten your PIN code it's definitely easier to deal with it locally in a branch as opposed to over the phone to another country.
Things to consider when opening a bank account
Does your current bank operate in the UK?
Many banks are operated by global corporations. Some banks will reduce fees for international money transfers if both accounts are registered with them.
It could also be much easier to open an account abroad. So if you have an account with a bank that has branches in the UK, you might want to stick with the same one.
How much are international transfer fees?
This is an important one. If you're planning on sending or receiving money from home, make sure you find out exactly how much it costs to transfer money between countries.
Banks often take a commission fee of between four and six per cent for converting to your desired currency, on top of the fee they're already charging you to send your money!
To work out how much you'll be paying in total, compare the exchange rate your bank is offering with an online currency converter and add the difference onto their initial fee. We recommend using TransferWise to make larger conversions to £GBP.
We've got information on the fees for international accounts below.
How much do you value 'freebies'?
Some banks offer free items as incentives for you to trust them with your cash.
For example, NatWest offer 1/3 off coach fares with National Express for up to four years.
Lloyds and Barclays offer cashback when you shop using select offers they provide via loyalty programs.
Don't get sucked in by freebies alone – a bank account offering a £15 gift card won't be worth much if your transfer fees are through the roof.
Do you need an overdraft?
Your account may come with a small overdraft (under £100) but unfortunately, as an international student, you probably won't be able to apply for a big one.
Bank accounts aimed specifically at international students generally do not come with an overdraft as they do not consider you a long-term customer.
If you are planning on staying in the UK for more than a year, it might be worth looking at the overdrafts on offer on other accounts for when you do decide to switch.
Where is the bank branch located?
This might seem like an obvious one, but you might want to pick a bank that has a branch near your accommodation or university campus in case you have to make an emergency trip before or after class!
You can get cash out from any bank's ATM free of charge 24/7, but banks usually shut around 4pm on weekdays and are closed on Sundays.
How do you open a bank account in the UK?
Unless your bank states otherwise, or your bank account is exclusively available online (like the NatWest International Student Account), it's likely that you'll have to pop down to your local branch to set the account up.
What documentation will you need?
- Current passport
- Valid visa (for those from outside the European Union)
- Home bank statement from the past three months
- Proof of address in the UK or abroad (check with your bank)
- Student ID or acceptance letter from your university.
Can you open a UK bank account from abroad?
In some cases. If you're still in your home country while reading this, some UK banks will let you start setting up a bank account before you arrive ashore.
Get in touch with your current bank and check if they have links to UK banks. This will make the whole process a lot easier for you as you'll already be on their client database.
Some of the bank accounts in our table are open to EU residents living outside of the UK.
Be aware that 'international accounts' offered by UK banks are different to 'international student accounts' and often have more requirements.
Below are the best international student bank accounts for this year, taking into account the fees and other considerations we've covered above.
International student account reviews
NatWest International Student Account
As the name suggests, this account is aimed specifically at international students. To be eligible for this one you need to have lived in the UK for less than three years.
A non-contactless debit card is included in this account but, unfortunately, an overdraft is not.
You'll also get to choose between one of the following three options:
- One-year Amazon Prime Student membership and £10 Amazon gift card
- National Express Coachcard giving you 1/3 off coach travel (4 years)
- 50% off food in UK restaurants, cinemas and hostels (4 years)
But watch out! To get a freebie you need to take out the full account which comes with a £10 monthly fee and is only available online (you won't be able to sign up for one of these at your local bank branch).
You can also open a free NatWest basic account but you won't get a freebie and must be living in the UK already.
It might be worth opting for Natwest if you're planning on sending back home regularly as they do a pretty good deal on international transfer fees…
How much are NatWest's international transfer fees?
- Sending money in Euros to European countries: free
- Sending money in other currencies to European countries: Also free!
- Sending money to the rest of the world: Yep, also free!
- Receiving money from abroad: free for amounts equating to £100 or under and £7.50 for amounts over £100
Our review
This account is good for students studying in the UK for a year or so as you don't have to have lived in the UK for very long and you don't have to physically go to NatWest to open an account (i.e. you could open this one before you actually get here).
It does come with some fun freebies but the main drawback here is the monthly fee. However, it might be worth it if you're planning on sending money to your home country often as the international transfer fees are virtually non-existent!
Barclays Student Additions Account (international)
The international student edition of its UK student account, Barclays also offers a product targeting students from overseas.
To be eligible for the account you must:
- Be living in the UK
- Be studying for an undergraduate qualification for at least two academic years full-time or for a postgraduate degree for one year or more
- Be over 18
- Plan to use the account as your main bank account.
There are no monthly fees to maintain this one!
How much are Barclays international transfer fees?
- Sending money abroad: free plus any charges added by the recipient bank
- Receiving money from abroad: £0 for amounts under and including £100 and £6 thereafter for transfers from bank accounts located outside the EU.
Our review
Pretty sweet! Free outgoing money transfers and fairly low recipient fees. We're here for it.
However, this account isn't meant for international students that are only here for a year, unless they're enrolled in a master's degree.
This one is aimed at international students who are planning on staying for a couple of years at least. Not for you? Read on!
HSBC Basic Account
This account isn't designed specifically for international students but you won't need to make any major financial commitments to open one. No fees attached. Hooray!
To open a HSBC Basic Account you'll need to be 16 or over, have a residential address in an EU country and not hold already an account with another UK provider.
No overdraft with this one unfortunately. 🙁
How much are HSBC's international transfer fees?
- Free when sending to another HSBC account
- Sending money abroad: £4 plus any correspondent bank fees
- Receiving money from abroad: £0 for amounts under £100 and £8 on transfers of £100 or more
Our review
A very basic account, but it does what it says on the tin and is also free to open.
At just £4, HSBC has some of the lowest transfer fees listed. Again no overdraft, but if you're thinking of staying here for a while you could always consider applying for a regular current account a year or so down the line.
And, if you live in the EU, you could open it before you even arrive.
Lloyds Classic Account
You've got to be living in the UK to open this one, and be over 18 too!
An overdraft isn't completely off the cards here, and you may be eligible for one after an assessment of your situation. It's free to set up but does come with a daily fee if and when you use it.
How much are Lloyds international transfer fees?
- Sending money abroad: Lloyd's won't charge you a fee to send money through online banking but there will be correspondent bank fee which you can pay yourself or split with the recipient of £12 for accounts in Europe, the USA and Canada, or £20 for bank accounts located anywhere else in the world! Ouch!
- Receiving money from abroad: Free!
Our review
You won't be able to open this one until you're actually living in the UK but again, there are no fees attached.
This one doesn't come with any frills, it's simple and does what it says on the tin. We don't like the correspondent bank fees, but overall it's a yes from us!
Santander Basic Current Account
EU citizens rejoice! This one is open to UK and EU residents, so you could actually open this one before you even arrive.
You must also be 16 or over and not already be holding a Basic Current Account with Santander or any other UK provider.
How much are Santander's international transfer fees?
- £15 for transfers within the EU and £25 for transfers towards the rest of the world.
- Receiving money from abroad: No charge! Hoorah!
Our review
This one is super practical for international students coming from Europe as you can open the account before you arrive in the UK. But Santander's transfer fees are among the heftiest fees listed…
TSB Classic Account
This one is also open to UK and non-UK EU residents aged 18 or over and comes with an interest-free £35 overdraft!
TSB's Classic Account also comes with the possibility of an overdraft of up to £1,200, but it does come with an interest rate of 19.84% and a monthly fee of £6.
How much are TBS's international transfer fees?
- Sending money abroad: £10 for payments of less than £5,000 and £17.50 thereafter plus a correspondent bank fee of £6 for payments made to accounts outside the EU
- Receiving money from abroad: £2 for payments up to £100 and £7 thereafter.
Our review
We're 50/50 on this one. TSB are flexible regarding your living situation and the account comes with a small overdraft which is great if you accidentally overspend at the pub or have an emergency bill to pay.
The fees are somewhere in the middle in comparison with the others, so it depends how much the overdraft is worth to you.
However, you might want to check whether there's a TSB branch located near to where you live as there tends to be less of these around. Remember what we said about financial mishaps…
Nationwide Basic Current Account
This account is also open to those residing in the UK and EU alike.
It does not, unfortunately, come with an overdraft or a chequebook but you will be able to make payments using Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay. You'll get a contactless debit card too!
How much are Nationwide's international transfer fees?
- Sending money abroad: £9 to EU countries and £20 to everywhere else
- Receiving money from abroad: free (although the bank sending you the money may charge you).
Our review
Again, the transfer fees aren't the cheapest at Nationwide, but if you don't plan on sending money abroad very often this account is one to consider as receiving money from overseas will cost you £0.
The Co-operative Bank Cashminder Account
Another EU resident-friendly account! You'll need to be living in the UK or the EU when applying for this account and be aged 16 or over.
Again, no chequebook or overdraft here we're afraid. But who uses cheques nowadays anyway?!
How much are the Co-operative Bank's international money transfer fees?
- Sending money abroad: £8 to EU and US-based accounts and £20 for the rest of the world
- Receiving money from abroad: free for payments under £100 and £6 for payments over £100.
Our review
Good for flexibility if you want to open the account from another country in Europe and mostly intend on receiving small-ish amounts of money. But again, outgoing transfer fees aren't the cheapest.
Al Rayan Current Account
For those looking for a Sharia-compliant current account, you've come to the right place.
This account does require some financial investment. You must commit to paying your salary into this account (which as a student you probably don't have yet) or make an initial deposit of £500.
How much are Al Rayan's international transfer fees?
You must be transferring at least £100 to gain access to Al Rayan's international money transfer services.
- Sending money abroad: £25 for payments in GBP, £12 for payments under £10,000 in a foreign currency and zilch for payments of £10,000 or above
- Receiving money from abroad: free.
Our review:
If it's a Sharia-compliant current account you're after, this one's for you. Al Rayan also does Sharia-compliant savings accounts too if you're thinking about staying in the UK on a long-term basis.
Just remember that opening an account at Al Rayan does require some financial commitment.
Alternatives to setting up a UK bank account
With the recent surge of digital app-based banks launching in the UK, there is even more choice than before.
Not all of these bank accounts are suitable for international students, nor are they regulated as strictly as mainstream banks.
However, there are plenty of benefits on offer, especially when it comes to making cheap international transfers and speed of account setup.
The best banks in this category for international students are Revolut and Monese.
Using your overseas account
Of course, you could always stick with your bank account in your home country.
You might decide that all of the above is too much hassle after all, especially if you're only in Britain for a couple of months.
But do make sure you doublecheck how much it'll cost you to withdraw money and pay with your debit card in the UK.
If you do decide to go with this option, we highly recommend you combine it with one of the two app-based accounts mentioned above to avoid extortionate transfer fees.
Lastly, make sure you let your bank know that you're coming to the UK or else they might think your card has been stolen and block your account on the grounds of suspicious activity. They're not mind-readers after all!
Now you've got your bank account sorted, why not have a look at the funding available for international students to fill it with!

Travel is as popular now as it's ever been – and usually in the form of vacations to far-flung locales, all across the world. But, if you're looking for a bit of adventure travel, you don't need to go around the world to get your adventure fill. Sometimes your neighboring town can be just as quite of an adventure as a globetrotting across the continents.
The United States is a nation rich in different cultures, with breathtaking landscapes ranging from the snowcapped peaks of the Pacific North-West, to the bayous Of Louisiana. I've lived in the U.S. my entire life and there are still so many places I haven't seen.
Checking out the Upper East coast is on my list, as well as Nashville, Kentucky, Montana, and Hawaii. All parts of the United States, and all just as magical as any other foreign land. Sure I can travel to all of these places separately but I can also make a road trip out of them. Okay, maybe not Hawaii…
Road trips are a great way to see the land for what it is. In the air, you may get an aerial view but you're not up close to the cornfields of Kansas or the sea of the coast. There's something a bit more magical about road trips, right? However, most people are turned off to the idea because it's too long of a trip or they don't do well sitting for long periods of time. Although those are all fair and true there are a lot of things you can do on a road trip to make it a promising adventure.
Try the local cuisine in each location (it might vary more then you think)
Say "no way, Jose" to chain restaurants. You can eat off their menu anytime! Even if you were born and raised in the United States, you might not quite grasp just how much regional variety there is across the length of the country, if you haven't done much traveling in your life. Each region of the country – and sometimes even small towns – will have their own specific local cuisine that can set your taste buds tingling.
Make a point of trying the local cuisine in each location you visit. There's a good chance, you will come across everything from chicken restaurants, to traditional pit-barbecued hog, to coastal fish dishes, and more. Instagram is a great place to look up a popular spot along the road.
Cut down on social media and Internet use when you're traveling (it will allow you to really experience the nuances of things)
It's amazing how much you can miss out on when you are staring at your phone all the time – and especially if you are constantly updating your social media accounts.
A famous psychological experiment actually proved that when test subjects were staring intently at a ball being passed between different individuals, they were capable of failing to see something as dramatic as a man in a gorilla suit marching right in the middle of the room.
To really take in all the wonders and nuances of your road trip through the weird and winding USA, try to cut down on the social media and Internet use for the duration of your trip. My go-to method is to plan out your photos so you can still immerse yourself in the moment. I know I want a photo here, nab it and soak the rest of the experience in.
Do a bit of historical sightseeing
On a journey across the United States, you will find incredible historical sites ranging from the settings of heroic last stands, to the oldest shops or outdoor markets of a particular type, to mountains, revered and held sacred by Native American tribes.
If you stick to the cities and use your road trip as an excuse to go clubbing across the nation, you're likely to get a fairly generic experience. After all, pop culture is largely the same everywhere.
By dedicating a bit of your time and attention to historical sightseeing, on the other hand, you can really begin to tease out the nuances of different locations and get a sense for their rich history and local character. Plus there are a ton of hidden gems and swanky places hidden between the walls of history. Go off the beaten path, just don't stray too far.
What are your road trips tips? I'm always looking for ways to spice up my road trips.

June 13, 2018
The rains of May have helped leaf out all the greenery, trees and shrubs here in the Catskills, and on a sunrise walk along the river with our beagle this morning we were treated to the sweetest fragrance of the honeysuckle blossoms, that lit up the foggy morning with their bright pink, cream, and white spiky flowers. It seems as […]

#Antisocial by Jillian Blake
Antisocial by Jillian Blake is a young adult novel about teens dealing with social issues after their phones and social media accounts get hacked. Every photo, internet search and message on their phones are made public creating a lot of gossip at first but then it all turns crazy. Anna Soler is a senior at Alexandria Prep High School. She just lost her boyfriend, Palmer Meade, who is also the star basketball player and none of her friends wants anything to do with her mainly because she ditched them for Palmer. Blake does a great job creating characters and settings that are modern day and current with today's teens. I felt like the plot line was very believable and extremely interesting. While there were moments that I felt where cringe worthy, I still felt like I had to know what was going to happen next. This book as an element of rawness and vulnerability that young people today possess. I really felt like this book was a really fun read that I could not put down. ** I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.** You can purchase your copy HERE.
Synopsis: What if your greatest secrets became public? For the students at Alexandria Prep, a series of hacks leads to a scandalous firestorm—and the students are left wondering whose private photos and messages will be exposed next. It's Pretty Little Liars meets WikiLeaks. Senior spring at Alexandria Prep was supposed to be for sleeping through class and partying with friends. But for Anna Soler, it's going to be a lonely road. She's just been dumped by her gorgeous basketball star boyfriend—with no explanation. Anna's closest friends, the real ones she abandoned while dating him, are ignoring her. The endearing boy she's always had a complicated friendship with is almost too sympathetic. But suddenly Anna isn't the only one whose life has been upended. Someone is determined to knock the kings and queens of the school off their thrones: one by one, their phones get hacked and their personal messages and photos are leaked. At first it's funny—people love watching the dirty private lives of those they envy become all too public. Then the hacks escalate. Dark secrets are exposed, and lives are shattered. Chaos erupts at school. As Anna tries to save those she cares about most and to protect her own secrets, she begins to understand the reality of our always-connected lives: Sometimes we share too much.
