The lights are going out all over Europe …Posted: August 4, 2014 Filed under: Architectural, Corridors of Power, Events, Interiors, London Labour, London Places, Vanishings, Wartime London | Tags: August 4th 1914, Britain's entry into World War One, lights going out all over Europe, Sir Edward Grey, start of World War One Comments Off on The lights are going out all over Europe …

A friend came to see me on one of the evenings of the last week — he thinks it was on Monday, August 3rd. We were standing at a window of my room in the Foreign Office. It was getting dusk, and the lamps were being lit in the space below on which we were looking. My friend recalls that I remarked on this with the words: 'The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our life-time'.
From Twenty-Five Years 1892-1916 (New York, 1925) by Viscount Grey of Fallodon, formerly Sir Edward Grey. Sir Edward Grey was British Foreign Secretary in August 1914; Britain declared war on Germany on August 4th.

Bush House from Kingsway. © Bogdan Frymorgen 2012.
Bush House, the imposing 1920s edifice which dominates the Aldwych and looms over Kingsway, was once declared to be "the most expensive [building] in the world": by 1929 its construction had cost its American backers £2,000,000. It was built on the site of Wych Street, an ancient survivor of the Great Fire that was ruthlessly destroyed by London County Council circa 1901.
Built of Portland stone, with extravagant use of marble for its cavernous halls, and fronted by forbidding columns surmounted by statues symbolising 'Anglo-American friendship', Bush House embodies its era just as much as the Deco Telegraph Building on Fleet Street, or Collcutt and Hemp's monolithic Adelphi. (The chunk of old London flattened for the Adelphi was the Adam brothers' graceful riverside development of 1768.) Like the 'new' Adelphi, the sheer bombast of Bush House trails unfortunate traces of Fascist architecture; but where Colcutt and Hemp's stridently moderne behemoth might look at home in Mussolini's Rome, Bush House's gigantic faux-classical styling prefigures the more stolid brand of 'Totalitarian Retro' that came to be favoured by Hitler and Stalin.

The BBC established offices in the building in 1941, and for over 70 years Bush House was home to the BBC World Service, originally known as the BBC Overseas Service. George Orwell was a BBC staff member during the war, and the interiors of the building – in particular its canteen – informed his conception of The Ministry of Truth in Nineteen Eighty Four. (It's clear that the exterior of Orwell's Ministry was modelled on Senate House in Bloomsbury, and Room 101 was said to be located somewhere in Broadcasting House, but the echoing, labyrinthine interior of Bush House invites us to imagine Winston Smith lost within it.) It might be easy to resent Bush House – for what was sacrificed for its creation, for its monumental scale, and for the sheer absurdity of that portico (which echoes, in the Latin script above its main entrance, the opening titles of a certain famous 1970s TV series: I CLAVDIVS). You could even say that the payoff for the loss of ancient Aldwych is nothing more than a faceless autostrada with a giant conceited lump at its southern end.

But London is a restless, shape-shifting city, and Bush House has come to stand for more than the pretensions of its sponsors and designers. With the good fortune to house an institution that infused its overblown rhetoric with genuine purpose, it has become a great London building by default. Orwell's ironic attitude to the BBC aside, during WW2 it acted as a hub for displaced European intellectuals, who broadcast to their besieged home countries from its offices; coded messages aimed at resistance fighters and SOE agents were transmitted to occupied Europe from its studios. It became a symbol of the War Effort. (It was damaged by a V1 flying bomb that hit the Aldwych in 1944; the V1 landed on the Air Ministry directly opposite, leading to worries over the eerie accuracy of those early cruise missiles.)
Even its grandiose classicism may be said to have a claim to authenticity: workmen laying Bush House's foundations unearthed Roman statuary beneath the dust of Wych Street. A bust of a Roman noble was duly and reverently put on display in the new building's lobby (even if there are doubts as to its provenance …).

These photographs by Bogdan Frymorgen – a studio manager for the World Service – were taken just hours before the BBC finally left Bush House in July 2012, when the humming bustling halls and studios were already silent. Even as a series of absences, they capture a real sense of the urgency and activity that had so recently been going on. They're full of love for a building and an institution that came to occupy an important place in British cultural history. It's too easy to forget the esteem in which the BBC World Service is held by its distant listeners; it's not television – therefore not sexy – but that is what gives it its reach, as radio waves can go anywhere and radios can be found everywhere. The World Service is a unique and magnificent public service; it's Reithian; and, as such, it's permanently under threat.
© Bogdan Frymorgen 2012.
But the BBC's activities at Bush House weren't confined to the World Service. Amongst other things, a great deal of radio drama was produced there, and in the past weeks I've been thinking of this again. A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to spend a few days working on a radio play at Bush House under the aegis of Claire Grove, one of the most innovative and successful radio drama producers of our time. Her funeral was last week. Her Guardian obituary gives a rough idea of her professional brilliance, but it is hard to sum up such a vital person within the confines of an 'Other Lives' entry. Lemn Sissay's appreciation gives some hints of the energy and life that occupied Claire, and indeed Bush House.

Amidst current refurbishment, Bush House is now occupied by a law firm and HM Customs and Excise. The love really has left the building. D.S. (with K.E-B.)

V2 Woolworths disaster, New Cross, 25 November 1944.Posted: November 25, 2011 Filed under: Anniversaries, Catastrophes, Public Announcements, Vanishings, Wartime London | Tags: Apollo 11, Doodlebug Blitz, Eddie Chapman, V1, V2, Vengeance Weapon, Werner von Braun 1 Comment

Today marks the 67th anniversary of the worst single bombing incident of the 2nd World War – when a V2 rocket scored a direct hit on a Woolworths store in New Cross. The V2 hit Woolworths when it was crowded with Saturday morning shoppers: the official death toll was 168, but it was often said that the real figure was much higher – although it seems unlikely that a significantly higher casualty number could have been withheld until now.
The V2 was unlike the earlier 'Vengeance Weapon', the V1 (A.K.A. 'doodlebug', a cruise missile) in that it was impossible to detect – let alone intercept – before it exploded. The first impact in Chiswick in September 1944 was first thought to have been caused by a gas explosion. Their sudden deployment was a source of grave concern to Churchill, and prompted the construction of deep-level air raid shelters in Bloomsbury, Clapham and Stockwell. South and east London received a disproportionately high number of V-strikes, largely because of a British intelligence coup: the double agent Eddie Chapman managed to convince his Nazi 'handlers' that V1s were overshooting the centre of London (they weren't), hence the rocket launchers recalibrated and bombs began falling on Brockley, Woolwich, Deptford, Catford, Barking, Ilford, etc., and across Kent and Surrey.
The literal impact of these weapons may still be seen in London, where pockets of undeveloped bombsites remain – like the dead spot on Tottenham Court Road opposite Heals, final destination of a V2. South London is peppered with anomalous green spaces or abrupt changes in architectural style on a residential street, characteristic traces of Vengeance weapons. Perhaps the most bizarre legacy of the V2 campaign was the subsequent career of the project's architect, Werner von Braun. The majestic Saturn V rocket which took Neil Armstrong towards the Moon was von Braun's creation, the end result of his wartime experiments in rocketry and ballistics. As for Woolworths, they've put up a plaque. There is an Iceland store there now.

John Londei writes:
This photograph features Chelsea Pensioners – or 'Gentlemen' to give them their correct title – and was taken in the Chapel of the Royal Hospital Chelsea in 1998 to mark the 80th anniversary of the Armistice that, on the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month", brought the First World War to an end.
Charles II founded the Royal Hospital in 1681. Sir Christopher Wren was commissioned to design and erect the building. The painting of the Resurrection on the domed ceiling of the Chapel, by the Italian artist Sebastiano Ricci, dates from 1714 and it's believed to be a donation from Queen Anne. Back then compulsory services were held twice daily in the Chapel.
Seventeen of the Gentlemen in the shot were jokingly called 'The Spice Boys' because they always volunteered for such events. Nine days earlier they'd taken part in the Lord Mayor of London's annual parade appearing on a float depicting The Royal Hospital's history. But for me the real 'star' of this photo was Albert Alexandre, the last veteran of the First World War still resident at the Royal Hospital [the centre row of floor squares point directly to him sitting in the 1st row].
Albert was born in Jersey. Both his parents died when he was six, and he went to live in an orphanage. In 1917 Albert, who looked older than his years, lied about his age (he was 15) and enlisted in the Guernsey Light Infantry. He saw action at Passchendaele, outstanding among the battles of the war not only for its cost in life and limb (almost half a million allied casualties), but also for the weather. In the heaviest rain for 30 years, men, horses and pack mules drowned in the deep shell holes caused by constant bombardment. He witnessed men being blown to pieces all around him, and took part in hand-to-hand fighting. A phrase from one of Siegfried Sassoon's poems sums it up: "I died in hell – They called it Passchendaele".
Albert was discharged in 1919, but re-enlisted into the Royal Garrison Artillery serving in India during World War Two. When Alfred's wife died in 1992 he moved to the Royal Hospital where he remained until his death in January 2002 aged 100.
A large framed print of this sitting now hangs in the Gentlemen's Ward at the Royal Hospital. With the passing of time that print, like those old soldiers therein, will just fade away…

V.S. Pritchett writing in London Perceived *, 1962:
To the Londoner of my generation, the London sky has another dramatic significance which – once our present boredom with the whole subject is overcome – is memorable. It has been a battlefield. One day in 1940 in the entrance hall of the BBC I heard the sirens howl. One of the maternal ladies at the reception desk called out "Air raid please" (one is inclined in London to say "please" for everything, and one must certainly sauy it out of deference if a VIP like the Angel of Death is announced), but she was in fact telling the boys to close the steel shutters. I shall not forget that large white cloud bellying against the blue in the afternoon and, as my stomach turned over, seeing a flight of silver Spitfires dive into it. I froze with fear, hope, anger, pity. Many times afterwards, Londoners in the black-out heard the sky grunt, grunt, grunt above them, then howl and rock, or saw it go green instead of black, the whole 700 square miles of it twitching like sick electricity and hammered all over by millions of sharp gold sparks as the barrage beat against it like steel against a steel door. The curling magnesium ribbons that came slowly down were a relief to see, in that unremitting noise.
The sky shook London like a rug; the floor boards, the furniture, pictures, the glasses and plates, the curtains, the favourite vases, ferns, clocks, and photographs, the pens on the desks, the ink in the pots danced in their places throughout the night in evil monotony hard to endure. The sky was extravagant; the earth would occasionally come to life in scattered carrotty fires, and on the bad nights, when the docks, the East End, and the City were burned out, the tide being too low to give the firemen water, London turned crimson. Even then, people made the "historic" remark, the remark of experience. Nothing like this, they said, had been seen since 1666. One cloudless August afternoon near the end of the war, green snow fell in minute insulting particles over Holborn. We saw them when we got up from under our desks, where we had ducked when a bomb had fallen a mile or so away in Hyde Park and had blown the leaves off the trees into these mysterious smithereens. It had seemed for a moment, like a new venture of the London climate, which we knew to be capable of anything.
Several hundred thousand dwellings were damaged in the County of London, that is to say more than eighty per cent of the total. And of these, nearly a third were totally destroyed. Little was left of the docks or the City. And about 30,000 people were killed; more than 50,000 injured. On December 29, 1940, all Paternoster Row went, and a favourite phrase, imported from American films, was that "London could take it", whatever that may mean. London did nothing so exhibitionist, showed none of the characteristics of the prize-fighters' ring, as seen by publicity agents. London was quite simply morose, fatalistic, frightened, depressed and fell back on that general practicality of mind that counts as calm. The climate had predisposed us to expect the worst and disbelieve in the facts. Fatalism is the English religion. "London can take it" is just the beer talking. At the George in Great Portland Street, I do recall two drunks discussing the kind of funeral they wanted, with a lot of circumstantial detail about the correct amount of flowers, during a bad half-hour. And there is no-one who could not supply a list of old aunts, grandmothers, and so on who stuck the whole thing out, immovably, sustained by a vigorous social disapproval of the whole shemozzle. Private life rules the world.
It was the silence of London in the early evening that struck one. One had never known it to be dead quiet before. The machine had stopped. One walked down mile after mile of empty streets to the sound of one's heels only, and voices carried far, as if across water. I remember two painted old crones sitting out alone on a bench in Lincoln's Inn Fields when I was fire-watching. They were, no doubt, caretakers, and I could hear their voices far across the square. They were talking about actresses and distant connections of the Royal Family, of course. One night I saw a soldier come fighting out of a pub and get his teeth knocked out. One could hear them fall as distinctly as pebbles, a hundred yards away.

RE:LIVE – 3D logical game
I would like to share with you our project, which we created as a part of our Game Development course at Czech Technical University. The authors of this project are me (Tomáš Kasalický) and my friends Martin Melka, Lenka Stejskalová and Robert Čépa. This game received a second place among the projects in the class. The best projects were selected by a jury of professionals in the game industry from companies such as Warhorse Studios, Bohemia Interactive and 2K Czech.
The key to this game is time travelling. To be able to finish the game you need to utilize returning in time and cooperate with your PAST SELF. So for instance in the first part of the game you need to press both of the buttons next to the door at the same time, to do that, you need make a time travel checkpoint (right MB) go and press the first button(E) then return back in the time (middle MB), now you past self will appear and repeat your previous steps, so now you just have to go and push the second button at the same time when your past self presses the first button 🙂 YES time travel can get very confusing, but you'll get the hang of it 🙂
WARNING!! The game is very, I mean VERY CHALLENGING.

text: Oahu is a great place but vacation there at a wrong time can spoil the mood. I was there during the winter months which means I had to suffer the rough rainy season. Morning hours were pleasant but as time passes the trade winds brings additional moisture to the area with showers of rain. People are asked to empty the beaches during these time. So be careful with the planning.Date: 26 June 2014 14:36 Reply ➦

Hi Joel,
For the past 15 years, my family and I have gone to an ultra luxurious Alaskan fishing lodge. Much to our dismay, we are not sure if the lodge is going to open this summer, and are looking to identify some alternatives. Luxury accommodations and gourmet food are important to us, and also an open bar is essential. We are also looking for a lodge that includes fly outs and equipment as part of the package. Can you make any recommendations, as I've been disappointed by most of the places I've found on the web so far.
Answered by The Penny Pincher
Hi Elliott,
I know how disappointing it can be when you lose your favorite vacation spot. For me, it was an adored resort in Maui, whose service and prestige degraded considerably.
There is one web site that might be of assistance in your search for new accommodations. Virtuoso Travel Specialistsspecializes in higher-end travel. Although I have not personally used this service, many respected colleagues rave about it. Currently, the home page of their web site has a special blurb on Alaska. Your can search for opportunities directly on their site or have a travel professional assist you.
After you find a suitable alternative, I highly recommended that you directly call the new establishment and personally speak to the lodge owner or general manager. Let them know that for the past fifteen years you have been visiting another high-end property, however, since they are no-longer available to serve you, you hope that their resort will become your enduring vacation destination. Be sure to stress all the amenities that are important to you, and mention any important special considerations.
I am sure that the new lodge will see this as an opportunity to win over a long-term repeat guest, and serve you with celebrated distinction.
Let me know how this works out for you.
Good luck,

It's been almost a couple of months since I last posted about Beijing. My 3 month tour extravaganza of Japan has come to a close and I'm currently in Busan, Korea. Posting about Japan will involve 2 separate entries: the first one being about my time in the south and west and the second about my time heading north. Overall I had a great time checking out a variety of cities, both big and small, as well as a variety of festivals, again both big and small. During this time in the southern/western area, an unprecedented heat wave was going on especially in the Kansai region where I was spending most of my time. There wasn't a day I ended up with a dry shirt until I got up to Lake Kawaguchiko (at the base of Mt. Fuji at about 800 meters elevation). However, I managed to persevere with liberal use of water and green tea which enabled me to hit up most of what I wanted to see.
Just a note: I won't be including Tokyo as part of my post as it was mostly visiting friends and relaxing.
- July 1st: Happy Canada Day! Arrived in Tokyo.
- July 1st-14th: Tokyo chillaxing.
- July 14th: Hopped the train to Kyoto. Checked out the Nishiki Market Shopping District.
- July 15th: Brunch was a Michelin rated unagi (BBQ eel) restaurant (Gion Uekoya U). Wandered over to Yasaka Shrine which is the source of the Gion Matsuri. Stopped by the Samurai and Ninja museum. Stepped out in the sweltering evening to wander through the crowds while viewing the parade floats (yoiyoiyama – 2 nights before the parade).
- July 16th: Tried Kyoto style sushi (not raw – pickled, smoked, steamed, etc). Worked off lunch by melting while exploring the Kyoto Imperial Palace. Followed up with the Museum of Kyoto. Once again checked out the the festival food booths and floats (yoiyama – night before parade).
- July 17th: Woke up pretty early and scouted out a decent spot for the Parade of yamaboko floats (Yamaboko Junko). Spent about an hour watching before I had enough of the heat. Relaxed the rest of the day.
- July 18th: Caught the regional line down to Kansai Airport and flew to Okinawa.
- July 19th: Wandered through Naha and the markets. Checked out a local small traditional restaurant with a new friend. A night of music and dancing and had entirely too many beers.
- July 20th: Headed over to Okinawa World to check out a cave, some cultural performances, and a nice stroll through a tropical fruit garden. Followed up with a trip to one of Japan's few remaining cat islands.
- July 21st: Rainy day due to effects of typhoon. Still managed to get out to see Shuri Castle.
- July 22nd: Took the bus up to Chatan. Had a leisurely swim/float in the ocean and spent the day reading on the beach.
- July 23rd: Flew back to the Kansai region and ended up in Osaka.
- July 24th: Started off the scorching hot day at Shitenno-ji which is arguably the first Buddhist temple in Japan. Met up a with a friend and checked out the first day of the Tenjin festival.
- July 25th: Met up with the same friend and hit up the Osaka Museum of History before wandering over to Osaka Castle and it's museum. After my friend had to head off for other obligations, I managed to get a decent spot to watch the Tenjin festival parade procession.
- July 26th: Spent the day in Nara checking out the deer as well as the various shrines and temples such as Todai-ji and Kasuga-taisha.
- July 27th: Headed to Himeji for a couple nights. Managed to visit Himeji Castle and Koko-en garden late afternoon.
- July 28th: A bit of a drizzle so I decided to check out the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of History. The evening cleared up enough that I was able to go to a very small festival just up the road on the grounds of a school yard.
- July 29th: Said farewell to Himeji and managed to get to Nagoya in decent time. Wandered around and found some interesting summer evening events such as a concert series and a festival.
- July 30th: Early morning as there was a full day planned for travel and sightseeing. Took an early train out to Inuyama and enjoyed the morning climbing the castle and exploring the local shrines/temples. The afternoon was spent at Meiji-Mura which is a large outdoor museum of Meiji era buildings that were transported to the location.
- July 31st: Had a typical Nagoya breakfast – you order a coffee and get free thick sliced buttered toast with ogura-an spread. Another day, another castle. This time was Nagoya Castle. Unfortunately, the main castle was under renovations. However, the newly opened lower castle section was a gorgeous stroll. Spent the afternoon at the Nagoya Science Museum although really the only interesting part was the planetarium as the museum is geared mostly towards interaction for children. Met up with a friend (at an international event that was taking place in Nagoya) for dinner.
- August 1st: Took the direct bus from Nagoya to Lake Kawaguchiko. Gorgeous views of Mt. Fuji (which only 11 days later I would return to climb part way up). Took a long walk which ended up at Kawaguchiko Music Forest.
- August 2nd: Spent the day strolling through Aokigahara (aka Sea of Trees aka Suicide Forest) and exploring the 4 major caves (Fugaku Fuketsu, Narusawa Hyoketsu, Ryugu Doketsu, and the Saiko Bat Cave).
- August 3rd: Been a long stretch of travel through Japan and was I glad to arrive in Hakone as I knew I was going to partake of the hot springs extensively.
- August 4th: Took the ropeway up Mt. Hakone to view the sulphur mines as well as try one of the famous sulfur spring black shelled eggs. Took the river boat down Lake Ashi before climbing up to view Hakone shrine which was the center of a week long festival of which various shrines around the lake would host it until the final night in front of Hakone shrine. That night was up in Kojiri where I headed after Hakone shrine. It was a nice smallish festival with only a few food stalls but the fireworks over the lake were fantastic.
- August 5th: Unfortunately I couldn't stick around one more night as I had to head to Sendai for the Tanabata Matsuri. Sendai is the only point north of Tokyo on this trip but was a must due to the festival. While the festival is officially from Aug 6th-8th, the evening of the 5th is the opening ceremonies with a large fireworks display. It was overly crowded and drizzling, but the fireworks were suitably dazzling. Decided to leave before they were completely finished as there were massive crowds and I didn't want to wait too long to get on the subway. Managed to get back in time for a late night movie.
- August 6th: First stop was Asaichi market just in time for one of the noted small parades during Sendai's Tanabata Matsuri. Explored the shopping avenues that were bedecked in hundreds of hung streamers as well as the festival grounds that featured festival dancing and various food booths.
- August 7th: Spent the day just relaxing/laundry/posting about Beijing.
- August 8th: Returned to Tokyo.
- Special addition – August 12th/13th: Climbed up to the beginning of 8th station on Mt. Fuji.
I stayed in a large variety of lodgings including hostels, capsules, and small single room lodgings. The best ones were the Piece Hostel Sanjo in Kyoto (due to cleanliness and comfort) as well as K's House Hakone (in-house onsen/hot spring). The only place I would not recommend is Hostel Wasabi in Osaka (the AC doesn't seem to be able to keep up and everything felt damp).
Overall, everything is really efficient from the world class public transport system to service in restaurants being prompt and accurate. This speaks to my own desire for efficiency but it does take getting used to as with efficiency, there is a lack of customization and flexibility. Being Canadian, I suppose it does help being laid back when things don't exactly go the way I'd like them to (due to an obtuse rule or confusing regulation) but I can see why some travelers might have an issue with it. Okinawa was the most laid back place and I suppose that might be the reason why I enjoyed it the most so far in Japan – a nice mix of efficiency and casualness that I find appealing.
And now, random photos from the first part of my Japan tour.

ROME — Among duties police departments undertake that are often unseen by the public is an accreditation process through the New York State Law Enforcement Accreditation Program.
Police say participating in the program is another way of self-policing department practices.
"The Accreditation Program is comprised of a set of standards developed to further enhance the capabilities of an agency, and is divided into three categories," according to information from the state Office of Public Safety and Accreditation. Those standard cover things such as organization, fiscal management, personnel practices, records management and training of department staff, law enforcement officials say.
Receiving accreditation means the department is "following best practices," Rome City Police Chief Kevin Beach said. "It helps the community to know we follow best practices."
The City of Rome Police Department was officially reaccredited late last year, receiving the honor at a formal Dec. 13 ceremony in Albany.
The department was recognized for maintaining standards in areas such as training, administration and operations, Beach said. The achievement was made after the department passed an onsite inspection in September.
The agency was first accredited in 2003, Beach said.
Since then, "this is the third time we've been through it," Beach said. "It's good for five years."
The process of achieving the designation is not always easy, he added.
"The year you are up for reaccreditation is very busy," Beach said.
At his department, there is an officer tasked with keeping up with reaccreditation standards. "It's a year-round process."
Beach said there is no real cost associated with the accreditation process itself other than the man hours a police department logs pulling all documents and training together.
Other law enforcement agencies that are accredited in the region include: Gloversville City Police Department, New York State Police, Oneida County Sheriff's Office, Utica City Police Department and the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.

Necessity Defense for Medical Marijuana Patients – Bill Redux
Trial by jury limits the power of the government to enforce laws in ways that violate the conscience of the community. Yet when a chronic pain patient using marijuana as medicine is charged with a marijuana crime, but is not permitted to have their physician testify, or to testify about it themselves; there is no meaningful jury trial. When the court prevents the jury from hearing defense evidence, excluding the defense, her right to present a defense is violated.

It's increasingly common for acts to greet their audience at the door, it helps create a connection with the audience, gives them a chance to get the measure of who has come to see them, but most of all it gives them something to do rather than hang around in the wings or stand awkwardly at the microphone. In contrast to this 2016 Funny Women Awards finalist, Micky Overman clearly feels at home on stage even when not delivering material, creating an air of relaxed confidence.
So it's hard to believe that the Dutch comedian has ever struggled with self-esteem, she certainly doesn't strike me as the type to travel 100s of miles to Australia to join her (newly) ex-boyfriend and the girl he'd left her for… Perhaps it is Micky's job as a nanny to a 13-year-old girl that has enabled her to take more control of her self-worth.
Role Model is simultaneously a trip down memory lane and a love letter to Micky's teenage charge with a tip for any vampires in. While diary entries and teenage anecdotes have long been fodder for comedians, Micky's composure means her recollections of a lower-status, younger Micky transcends the usual self-deprecation device many stand-ups rely on.
This self-assuredness lends itself well to controlling the group of lads who made up a substantial part of the audience, even when they audibly baulked at a menstrual joke and ribbed their mate Micky never lost command of her audience, there is no doubt who the star is here.
A confident debut with great promise, Micky will make her mark on Edinburgh Fringe.
Micky Overman: Role Model is at the Pleasance Courtyard, Bunker Two at 22:30 until 27th August. For tickets and more information click here!

Countertops can remain if they are in good shape or replaced, accessories such as pot and pan drawers, rollouts, lazy susans and add on cabinets are all options while refacing.
As well Cabinet refacing is a green alternative using the old boxes rather than filling up landfills.
If you are unhappy with the current layout complete cabinet replacement may be the option. At Kitchen Saver our team offers a complete kitchen design service with custom cabinets made for your specific needs giving you a much higher end look than ready made off the shelf cabinets.
For either option we provide an array of specialty cabinet doors and hardware with many color options to suit your needs.

Never drag yourself though the mud, just because you want someone to love you and stay in your life.
People will treat you exactly the way you perceive and project yourself. Never give yourself up as someone cheap and in desperate need of love.
Don't ever be a pest or parasite to people. Give people their space and seek to add value to people's lives too.
Love is only sweet and worthy of its name when it is appropriately reciprocated.
Don't settle for less. Go for what makes you happy and also add value to your life. Let happiness and growth be your watchwords.

Syllable weight and duration: A rhyme/intervals comparison
Steriade (2012) proposed intervals as a more appropriate syllable weight domain than rhymes. This study explores how interval weight cashes out as duration across word positions and compares this to a rhyme-based account. The data reported on in Lunden (2013), from native speakers of Norwegian (a language in which (C)VC syllables are heavy only non-finally) is reanalyzed with intervals. Lunden found that syllable rhymes in all three positions, if taken as a percentage of the average V rhyme in that word position, fell into a coherent pattern for weight. It is shown that interval durations allow for a similar, albeit less robust, pattern. The data from Lunden's (2013) perception experiment that tested the correlation between increased vowel duration and listeners' classification of syllable weight is also recast with interval durations, and the importance of the proportional increase over the raw increase, originally found for the rhyme data, is found to hold for the interval data. Thus, taking intervals as the weight domain is shown to result in reasonable durational relations between interval weights, although interval durations show less separation between some light and heavy units than the rhyme durations do.

Title: The Butterfly Finale
Author: Viano Oniomoh
Synopsis/back of book description:
Ember Quinn believes he is content with his life. He's got Mac; his overweight cat, his job as a security guard at the train station, and the house he'd bought with his hard earned money, and he thinks he doesn't need anything else. But then one day, part of the Aurora Circus comes to town and sexy, intimidating Pyro sweeps him off his feet with a literal breath of fire.
And Ember is suddenly not so content with his life anymore.
The butterfly spirit is very important in the story. It closely resembles the image of the blue & purple butterfly I have attached below (a.k.a more spine than form, blue in the middle ombres out into purple at the tips). Please use the attached image of the butterfly example as inspiration and avoid taking generic butterflies from the internet, please!!
Idea 1) Just the butterfly on the front cover (white or black bg, whatever you think fits best. Or it can be on a night sky bg) On the back, if you could design the tickets to the circus (another big part of the story). I made some generic tickets myself, but they're awful and I'd really like some more professional looking ones if you can. Use the tickets I made (attached) for reference, and put this on the back of the cover, below or above the description text, up to you.
Idea 2) The tents of the circus spread on both the front and back cover in the background of the night sky. A trail of fireflies are leading to the main tent from the edge of the back cover to the front.
Idea 3) The main circus tent, flap opened, with the two main characters entwined on the front. It can just be silhouettes so you don't need to go into too much detail. The characters are two men, please! Not a man and woman. A swirl of blue flames should surround the characters, disappearing into the night air. I'm aiming for something really romantic and magical :)
These are all my ideas for now! I'll make sure to pitch more if it comes to me. I'd prefer if stock images weren't used, but if that isn't possible, then go ahead. Please make sure to use legitimate stock image websites (free or not) because I had a previous experience where a designer took images from a third party website and the cover I ended up choosing was disqualified. Please don't make this mistake!
Thank you so much if you decide to take this on and good luck!
P.S. If you have any ideas of your own based on my descriptions, feel free to roll with it.
You can use the images I've attached for inspiration. Try not to copy haha thank you again!
If you have any questions, feel free to message me :)

Festive Jumper Day raises hundreds for charities
St Aloysius' College in Glasgow went casually festive with their annual Christmas Jumper Day and raised several hundred pounds for charity, as well as smiles. On the day when the refectory served up their Christmas Lunch, pupils and staff were invited to wear their favourite Christmas jumpers and make a donation to one of the college charities.
The day was hailed as a great success with Aloysians from Kindergarten to S6 accepting the invitation, as well as their teachers. A total of £709 was raised for the St Aloysius' College Children's Fund and Lourdes Pilgrimage fund, through which senior pupils volunteer to take disabled and disadvantaged children from around Glasgow on fun-filled holidays.
Julie McWilliams, the Charities Co-Ordinator at St Aloysius' College, was thrilled with the support the day received. "It was wonderful to see so many pupils and staff wearing their Christmas jumpers to support the Children's Fund and the pilgrimage to Lourdes," she said. "Both of these charities rely very heavily on the generosity of the college community to ensure that they can provide a week's respite for families and an unforgettable experience for the children. Thank you to everyone who supported our event."

text: Furnace Service and More: 5 Ways to Take On Heating Costs in Lake Forest Posted October 29, 2015 You can't control the weather, but you can control how much you're spending to keep comfortable no matter the weather. While it might not be the initial thing that comes to your mind, getting an annual furnace service is an ideal way to keep from overspending on your utility bills and now is the perfect time to get that scheduled. The pros at 1st Choice Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. have put together a number of tips to help you save some money this coming season. Furnace Service—As we mentioned before, furnace service can help save you in multiple ways. It can help you catch small problems before they become major problems, and it can help make sure your system is operating at its best. Thermostat Adjustment—Changing the temperature on your thermostat even a few degrees can make a huge dent on your energy bill. After a few months those savings will really add up. If you're having difficulty getting accustomed to the present temperature, try changing it gradually, perhaps a degree a day. Your body will quickly adjust to the new temperature. Change Your Filter—Changing your furnace filter is one of the easiest and most beneficial things a homeowner can do. A clogged filter will keep air from passing through easily, which will cause your system to work harder, which hikes up your utility bills. Address Drafts—Windows and doors might be causing you to lose a lot of heat and money. Caulk and weather-stripping are easy ways to tackle drafts. Efficiency Check—When your 1st Choice Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. technician is over for your annual furnace service, ask them about the efficiency level of your unit. They can help you decide if it is time to explore getting a more energy-efficient model, which could help save you money without inhibiting your comfort. It's always the right time to start saving money. Of course there are additional ways to save money, but hopefully this will get you off on the right foot. If you need to schedule your regular furnace service or have any other questions about your home comfort give us a call at 949-204-0859. Back To Blog

Quilt and fabric of mattress subject to change. This is a cosmetic change only and has no effect on the comfort or support of the mattress.
About the Niagara Gel Plush Memory Foam Mattress
The Niagara Gel Plush Memory Foam Mattress was custom designed with luxurious plush comfort in mind. It features six layers of foam, including a cooling gel-infused memory foam layer, and a high-density layer for extra body support and weight distribution. Memory foam may feel firm at first touch. However, as you continue to rest on a memory foam mattress it will glove to your body. As a result, many people describe the feel as melting into a softly cushioned cloud. It creates a cradle-like effect as the mattress fills into the contours of the body. This distributes and relieves pressure in order to provide excellent lumbar, or back support. Additionally, memory foam absorbs energy and responds locally to movement, which isolates surface movement, minimizing partner disturbance.
How it Feels
The Niagara Gel Plush Memory Foam Mattress provides a soft feel that's ideal for all sleep positions.

Endpoint Protection
Endpoint protection, or endpoint security, is a general term that describes cybersecurity services for network endpoints, like laptops, desktops, smartphones, tablets, servers, and virtual environments. These services may include antivirus and antimalware, web filtering, and more.
Endpoint protection helps businesses keep critical systems, intellectual property, customer data, employees, and guests safe from ransomware, phishing, malware, and other cyberattacks.
Why do businesses need endpoint protection?
Criminals are constantly developing new ways to attack networks, take advantage of employee trust, and steal data. Smaller businesses may think they're not a target, but that couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, small businesses with 100 employees or fewer now face the same risk of attack as a 20,000-employee enterprise.
No matter their size, businesses need reliable endpoint security that can stop modern attacks. And since most companies are subject to some form of compliance and privacy regulations, protection for endpoints is 100% necessary to help businesses avoid hefty fines and damage to their reputation due to a security breach.
Webroot Endpoint Protection comes as part of our Managed Security
Why Webroot Endpoint Protection?
Stronger and Smarter Endpoint Protection
To secure your business, you need endpoint protection that's stronger and smarter than traditional business antivirus. With over 10 years' experience innovating in the field of cutting-edge machine learning technology, Webroot Threat Intelligence provides the accuracy and context organizations and vendors need to protect themselves and their customers.

The shop has witnessed many of great eras of modern cycling ranging from the grand cruisers of the fifties, the banana seat Mustangs from CCM, the advent of the BMX, and, of course, the mountain bike.

Cycling is the one common activity that affects the soul, it represents a life-long commitment, it creates an unparalleled joy that we want to share with you.
Our mantra is really that simple. As evidence, we live by example, riding our bikes to work or to the store, riding on a wicked trail or setting a PR on the TT course. We ride for the experience and the love of it. The simple act of riding a bike opens endless possibilities; it binds us together in an unending bliss. Ultimately, this passion is our starting point and foundation when you walk through the door of our shop. You are always welcome to join us and share the experience.

Screening for cancer is the act of looking for the disease when symptoms are not present. These tests are designed to identify the presence of cancer early on when treatment is more successful. Screening tests are performed to ensure that patients are in good health and do not necessarily mean that the doctor believes you have cancer. These tests are usually performed at a person's annual physical exam when he or she reaches a certain age. Different tests should be performed at different times of a person's life.
The most commonly used tests include:
Different types of cancer should be screened for throughout a person's life. The guidelines below have been recommended by the American Cancer Society.

Lewiston/Auburn Passenger Rail Service Plan
In 2015, the 127th Maine Legislature, in PL 2015, c. 267, Pt. YY, approved a $500,000 fund allocation and directed the Department of Transportation (MaineDOT), in consultation with the cities of Lewiston and Auburn and Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority (NNEPRA), to conduct a study and complete a plan for the implementation of passenger rail service between the cities of Lewiston and Auburn and the Amtrak Downeaster service. The municipalities of Lewiston and Auburn contributed $50,000 toward the project cost.
A nine-member Project Committee was established to oversee the Project, representing the diverse views and regional perspectives, and included representatives from NNEPRA and MaineDOT, as well as representatives from the Cities of Lewiston and Auburn.
Members include:
- Lincoln Jeffers, Lewiston Director of Economic Development
- Richard Grandmaison, Lewiston
- John Myrand, Lewiston (replaced Rep. Jared Golden)
- Representative Bettyann Sheats, Auburn
- Jonathan Labonte, Former Mayor of Auburn
- Robert Stone, Former Auburn City Councilor
- Mary Ann Hayes, MaineDOT
- Patricia Quinn, NNEPRA
The Committee began work on the project in Spring 2017 and met monthly along with the Project Consulting Team since the fall of 2017.
This project was organized into two distinct evaluations: (1) transit propensity assessment (i.e., ridership estimation); and (2) corridor considerations and operating service evaluations.
The first phase analysis involved an assessment of potential ridership. A range of ridership estimates were developed by evaluating the demographics and travel patterns in the area, by considering the potential development opportunities of a rail connection and by examining similar rail corridors across the country.
CORRIDOR ASSESSMENT and OPERATING PLANS
This phase examined the kind of service which should be provided to meet the travel demand/patterns observed in Transit Propensity Analysis (i.e., route alignment, service frequency), as well as the costs to build and operate service. The outcome of this evaluation is report including a series of Preferred Alignments for passenger rail service to Lewiston-Auburn that can be advanced for further consideration and study, associated capital and operating costs, and recommendations for next steps.
The project team considered eight possible alignments which could provide passenger rail service between Lewiston-Auburn and Portland. All Alignments were evaluated based on a variety of metrics, including mobility, potential environmental impacts, estimated cost, and implementation timeframe. Three were recommended to advanced for further evaluation, with the potential for a phased implementation as well.
Public meetings were held to solicit feedback from communities on the characteristics of a potential service in both Portland (March 27, 2018) and Lewiston-Auburn (March 28, 2018).
A public meeting was held in Lewiston on March 27, 2019 to present findings from the second phase work to date.

The score obtained in the PUC plays important role in the further education of the students. In view of this, the board is making preparations for releasing the 1st and 2nd PUC exam time table 2019 very soon for the students.

Recent data from the ORION-1 Phase II test of inclisiran shows promise for the drug that could help patients with hypercholesterolemia.
According to the data revealed by The Medicines Co. and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, inclisiran cut down LDL cholesterol and was safe for people to take.
The recommended starting dose, a 300-milligram shot on the first and 90th day of the test, lowered LDL cholesterol 52.6 percent and as high as 81 percent by the 180th day, according to an announcement. Inclisiran also lowered LDL cholesterol more than 50 percent from the 90th day to the 270th day.
Each person who took the two inclisiran shots had positive outcomes, and the average amount of LDL cholesterol that was cut down was relatively the same throughout the test. Those who took the two inclisiran shots did not experience effects that inclisiran contributed to, including elevated liver enzymes cells, neuropathy or reduced kidney function.

AltNewsMedia provides an alternative to the fake news mainstream media narrative.
The stance and political viewpoint of the New York Times (NYT); the alleged 'Paper of Record' in the area of the relationship between the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (GB&NI) can be encapsulated in a short extract from a puff-piece written in the NYT which purports to describe Irish attitudes towards Brexit, the British, and the once-claimed and much-fabled Six Counties of Ulster:-
"The Good Friday agreement ended 30-odd years of fighting in Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, between predominantly Catholic communities that favoured joining the Republic of Ireland and largely Protestant loyalists of the British crown, backed by British troops. During the so-called Troubles at least 3,500 were killed and relations between Dublin and London were deeply strained "
