Sennheiser has announced the U320 multi-platform gaming headset for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC and Mac.
The audio pioneer's new hardware comes equipped with CircleFlex technology and a pro-noise cancelling microphone to provide comfort and high quality sound.
Thanks to the CircleFlex technology, the peripheral's padding takes on the shape of the user's head to provide comfort during extended play sessions. The pro-noise cancelling microphone reduces ambient sounds for clearer conversations.
Sennheiser product manager Christian Ern said: "We've worked hard to develop a consistent sound, regardless of the platform, and believe that our efforts will contribute to players everywhere enjoying a better sound experience."
Earlier this week, Turtle Beach unveiled its line of officially licensed headsets for Nintendo's upcoming Wii U console.
The Sennheiser U320 headset is available now, priced at £109.99.

Texas is legendary for its singer-songwriters, so numerous that they've almost become a dime a dozen in musical meccas like Austin and Houston. For every Willie Nelson or Lyle Lovett there have been hundreds, make that thousands, of wannabes toiling away in the state's coffeehouses and honkytonks. A new photo book by Steve Harris captures the flavor of the breed in artful images and an apt title: Texas Troubadours (University of Texas Press, $40).
The term "troubadour" literally refers to a European lyric poet or poet-musician from the 11th through the 13th centuries, but like the word "bohemian," it's acquired a pervasive (if vague) modern meaning. Probably with the help of the Troubadour Club in Los Angeles, the term now connotes a musician who sings his or her own songs and peddles them from town to town, year after year, often earning little glory and even less pay. As Kinky Friedman writes in this book's foreword, "Singer-songwriters have always been the long-suffering, little-celebrated spiritual stepchildren of the bigger, more commercial country music stars."

General Public is the collaborative platform of artists Elizabeth Rowe and Chris Poolman. Broadly speaking, they devise large scale public art projects that incorporate elements of fiction, myth-making, local history re-invention and heritage rebooting. Often this process involves re-working or inverting an established model or institutional structure. Their approach is interdisciplinary and collaborative: they produce artworks (writing, film, print), devise collaborative frameworks, organise events, curate / commission other artists. Previous projects have included a re-interpretation of the biennale concept in inner-city Birmingham (Balsall Heath Biennale 2011 – 2013), a science fiction themed light festival exploring the politics of regeneration (Longbridge Light Festival, 2014), a community competition resulting in 4000 new coins for an inner city area of Birmingham (Handsworth Currency Competition 2014 -15) and an 18-month strategic touring exhibition that uses the migratory movements of hop-pickers as the conceptual basis for a tour (The Hop Project 2016-17). In 2018, they conceived & produced The Endless Village, an apocalyptic sitcom that investigates life in an imagined post-Brexit Britain of the future. This was presented as exhibitions at Eastside Projects and Aspex Portsmouth in 2018. Their current project is the 'Heathland Festival, a 'children's festival of ideas' that is occurring at Birmingham Community libraries over the 2018 summer holidays.
Projects: Information
Heathland Festival: 'A children's festival of ideas' 2018
Heathland Festival ('A children's festival of ideas') is an innovative programme of art activities, literature, music and artworks for children and their families over the 2018 summer holidays. The 'Heath' libraries are geographically located on what was once ancient heathland, and the festival draws parallels between ancient common land and the ethos of public libraries. Based around five key themes (environment, equality, courage, migration and protest), the five-week programme will make complex ideas around sharing and public space accessible to children (and, of course, all children will be interested in sharing…).
The Endless Village 2017-18
Taking its name from a pioneering 1972 Bunny Teagle's book exploring the natural history of Birmingham, The Endless Village re-imagines the UK in an imagined post-Brexit Britain. Investigating life, localism and future trade relations, its central element is a sitcom pilot ('Banana Day') set in Kingdom#3 of 'Mydlande'. The UK no longer exists as we know it today. Instead it is a succession of endless villages, tribes and small self-sufficient (non) trading communities. Filmed on location in 'urban-countryside' in Birmingham, it will be presented as exhibitions at Eastside Projects (Birmingham) & Aspex (Portsmouth) in 2018.
The Hop Project 2016-17
The Hop Project tours Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Birmingham and the Black Country in 2016/17. Funded by Arts Council England's Strategic Touring Programme, the projects starting point is an exploration of the social and political implications of hop production in the West Midlands. The exhibition doesn't seek to present a factual, social history of hops but uses the verb 'hopping' as a working method to explore a number of different ideas connected to the history of hop growing. The project tours to 15 venues including mac Birmingham in September 2017. See The Hop Project and newspaper.
Longbridge Light Festival 2016: 'Very Civil' Rights March
In 2016, General Public brought a touch of mild 1960s idealism to the Longbridge Light Festival 2016 with their 'very civil' rights protest march. See Light Festival and LLF 14/16 publication.
Handsworth Currency Competition 2014-15
Over 2014 and 2015 they developed a project at Soho House Museum, Birmingham as part of New Expressions 3, a major nationwide Arts Council initiative encouraging collaboration between contemporary artists and museums. This commission involved producing a set of new Handsworth coins featuring the profiles of local people, thousands of which were disseminated into the local community in May 2015, thereby writing migrants' stories into the history of the site. The coins' value – free museum access – was positioned within the context of city-wide cuts to cultural funding and reduced access to museums in Birmingham. See Handsworth and Handsworth publication.
Longbridge Light Festival 2014
In 2014 General Public were commissioned by public art agency WERK to develop and curate the inaugural 'Longbridge Light Festival 2014'. The festival's 'Back to the Future' theme used the metaphor of science fiction to explore the politics of regeneration.
The Balsall Heath Biennale 2011-13
Between 2011 and 2013, they developed a two-year multi-faceted project in Balsall Heath, the inner city suburb of Birmingham where they lived, called the Balsall Heath Biennale. This consisted of exhibitions, artworks, events, talks, a newspaper delivered to all 5000 homes in the local area, area wide competitions, publications, a community garden and a local contemporary art school. Academics at Birmingham University used the Balsall Heath Biennale as a case study as part of the AHRC-funded project 'Cultural Intermediation and the Creative Urban Economy'. The biennale is captured in a triplet of publications – an A-Z colouring in book, newspaper and book featuring essays by Derek Horton and Saskia Warren.

Using Your Camera's Histogram to Take Better Digital Photographs - Envato Tuts+ Design & Illustration Tutorial. The histogram is one of the best ways to check for accurate exposure in the camera, and yet it's underused by many photographers.
Use this tutorial to learn to use histograms in-camera and as part of further Photoshop processing. 1. Understand What the Histogram Represents. Using Your Camera's Histogram to Take Better Digital Photographs. The designer's guide to image compression. Whether you're a designer working for print, the web or TV and film, image compression is a necessary tool that you'll use on a daily basis.
Without it, we'd be emailing files that take up hundreds of megabytes, trying to send large files would take hours, your landing page would never appear, and browsing the web would be like walking through treacle. All modern design tools have complex built-in image compression algorithms that abstract the decision-making process from designers.
But having a clear understanding of how and why image files are compressed can help ensure your output is accurate and reproduces as you intended. Here we'll walk you through the basic terms and concepts of image compression that all designers need to know, then look at some of the more useful tools on the market to help you out. 01. Once you've been working with images for a while, you'll understand there are two fundamental types of image: bitmap and vector. 02. 03. 04. 05. 06. 07. 08. 09. 10. Step 1 Step 2.

Failing to dry and clean immediately Even if you have a weather- and dust-proof camera it's best to dry and clean it as soon as possible after it's got damp or dusty. In the first instance use a soft lint-free cloth to dab it dry and soak up as much moisture as possible. Then use a brush, or a dry cloth to brush or wipe off any dirt and dust. Understand what is Aperture in photographic basic. DIY: Noticeably Improve Your Macro Photography with a Cheap Plastic Cup. Hand-held macro photography presents a lot of challenges, but three of the most prevalent are: subject movement, camera shake, and harsh shadows.
Fortunately, you don't have to carry around a bunch of gear to solve these issues. In fact, a cheap plastic cup will do the trick all by itself!

Nachtfotografie. Luminance: Michael Muller. Zonesysteem. Photographing 2-Dimensional Artwork. Four Flash Photography Basics we must know - Inverse Square Law. Flash Photography Basics, an Introduction The reason to use flash is of course that flash is very bright (and very fast) for easy camera exposure.
In comparison, the brightest light bulbs are dim for photography, not near sunlight bright. Without flash, even well lighted rooms will suffer from long slow shutter speeds, or high ISO, or both. Light bulbs can be fine for still life photography, when a one second shutter is no problem, but which is unacceptable for pictures of people, who tend to move. Flash also allows us to create the lighting, to be like we want it, to place flash wherever we want them, and to be made soft as we might desire, etc. Flash photography is many things. In short summary, the major points, the really big deal about flash, is: The intensity of any near light source (flash or continuous) falls off fast with distance (inverse square law). Flash is just a light that we can aim. HDR and Flash for Real Estate Photography. Lights, camera, nostalgia! The rebirth of Studio Harcourt.
[Fstoppers Original] What Is Lens Diffraction And When Does Diffraction Happen? If you are like me then you might not always get caught up in some of the super technical aspects of photography.
One aspect of photography I recently investigated was the loss of sharpness caused by Diffraction. Last night while playing with the new Nikon D800 camera I examined lens diffraction and how diffraction can seriously affect the sharpness of your photography. One thing that always blew my mind in science class was when my professors told me light can act both as a particle and as a wave (quantum physics was never my strong suit). When described as a wave, light usually travels in a straight line but can also bend when passing through or around objects.
When light travels through your camera's lens and through a large aperture, light doesn't bend or disperse all that much. Tips for Phone/Tablet Art Photography. Self-portrait by Sebastian Michaels – Click to enlarge How to Hone Your Artistic Skills While Creating Great Images on a Smart Phone or Tablet by Sebastian Michaels [guest post] It's a new world out there.
The art being created today by serious "iPhoneographers" rivals (and often surpasses) easily 90% of anything I've ever seen created with Photoshop. Basics of Metering. How to Photograph a chrome faced watch with a reflective body and strap. Disclaimer (yeah this is where I cop out!)
This shot was produced merely as an exercise, and not for a client or the watch manufacturer. Honestly – had it been for a client It would of been a re-shoot due to some of the issues I came across. More about those later.. Exposure Compensation. I believe I have a reasonably secure understanding of exposure – i.e. use and relevance of ISO, aperture and shutter speed – and the purpose of and when to use exposure compensation. Nowadays, I use the histogram to act as a guide to exposure – as I don't have 'LiveView' this is a retrospective action when I review the shot on the back of the camera. Nevertheless, I can see what's going on and can make another exposure if I believe my first attempt is not right.
Exposure Compensation. Exposure compensation. For the first six months of my relationship with my Canon 40D SLR, I did not know a quick way to correct exposure. I would take a photo that was too dark or too light, and I would start fumbling around with the f-stop and/or shutter speed to correct it and by that time my subject was in the kitchen eating lunch. I'd shrug my shoulders and set my camera down. Then! I discovered the wonderful little secret that is exposure compensation. This handy little feature has made picture-taking a million times easier. Exposure Compensation: Manual Shooting Without Being In Manual. How to create a chill effect on bottles. Expert photography blogs, tips, techniques, camera reviews - Adorama Learning Center. Evolving Beauty, Eric Boutilier-Brown. From 1991 to 2005, my main camera was always a large format camera.
Also know as a view camera, a large format camera makes images on individual sheets of film (as opposed to 35mm and medium cameras, which use film formed into a long roll, with multiple exposures made on the roll before it is fully exposed). The main reasons for using large format cameras (also called view cameras) is the film size and the camera movements. Most people who use large format cameras use 4"x5" cameras - these have a good balance between size, flexibility and expense. I used a 4"x5" view camera consistantly from 1991 to 2001. Between 2001 and 2005, I worked exclusively with an 8"x10" large format camera. Toepassingen van een tilt-shift lens. Using Tilt-Shift Lenses to Control Perspective. Tilt shift lenses enable photographers to transcend the normal restrictions of depth of field and perspective. Many of the optical tricks these lenses permit could not otherwise be reproduced digitally—making them a must for certain landscape, architectural and product photography.
The first part of this tutorial addresses the shift feature, and focuses on its use for in digital SLR cameras for perspective control and panoramas. The second part focuses on using tilt shift lenses to control depth of field. Shift movements enable the photographer to shift the location of the lens's imaging circle relative to the digital camera sensor. This means that the lens's center of perspective no longer corresponds the the image's center of perspective, and produces an effect similar to only using a crop from the side of a correspondingly wider angle lens.
Tilt movements enable the photographer to tilt the plane of sharpest focus so that it no longer lies perpendicular to the lens axis. My Photo Lesson; TCM Productions; Tom Moore. Zil Fotografie MBO niveau 2. LR/Enfuse for InteriorsPhotographer's Toolbox. You may have seen the me mention this photo in a previous post. The shot is taken using ambient light only, and yet everything is well exposed from the forground table right through to the back of the room.
Normally we would expect most of the room to fall into shadow due to the high constrast difference between the window-lit table and the shaded corridor; so how was this avoided? Well, it was easy actually. How to Pre-Visualize like Ansel Adams - The concept of previsualization in photography is where the photographer can see the final print before the image has been captured. Ansel Adams dedicates the beginning of his first book to previsualization, and is often quoted as saying "Visualization is the single most important factor in photography". Understanding then the significance of this approach is of high value for photographers of all kinds, as it has the potential to unlock greater creative vision, and give greater control (and predictability) over the print process. The writing of Ansel Adams is often times a bit abstract for the layman, if not highly complex.
I have attempted to consolidate some of his thoughts on previsualization, and I hope to explain in plain english how you can incorporate his ideas into practical terms. Let's start at the beginning.

Music and art have traditionally been ways for people around the world to display and relate their cultures. When multiculturalism is effectively integrated into a fine arts curriculum, students are able to connect to their own cultures as well as gain an appreciation and respect for other cultures. The following are ideas, suggestions, and links provided in order to help educators incorporate multiculturalism in teaching fine arts.
Ways to Incorporate Multiculturalism with the Arts
- Help students understand their cultural contexts through art and music.
Display and teach about art and music of various cultures, not just "classic" (European) styles.
Teach about different aesthetic perspectives.
Invite artists who represent local cultures into the classroom.
Discuss different forms of cultural expression.
National Museum of African Art
This site allows individuals to take a virtual tour of the museum's exhibits and provides art educators with many excellent resources for lesson plans.
This site provides one example of how educators can integrate multiculturalism into music education, serving as a model for educators in lesson planning.
This site provides educators with many examples of Native American art.
This site provides articles as well as exhibits of Asian art; its high quality photos provide educators with resources for multicultural art lessons.
Kindergarten Cultural Art Lessons
This site provides many multicultural art activities for young children.

Questions about this website, and the family, come up from time to time. These are my answers to those asked most often.
The questions and answers are NOT "family" specific rather they are general questions I have heard more than once, or twice, or three times for that matter. Anyway, one of your questions might get answered here. Click on the question to reveal the answer. Click the same question again to hide the answer.
Is your information "certified" or "verified"...what are your sources?
Anybody doing genealogy knows that sources aren't necessarily accurate. While I can honestly say a number of my soruces have been personally researched by me, I can also honestly tell you that much of my information has come from internet research as well as from other persons searching for the same family surnames. At the end of the day, if you find something in my pages that is questionable or you KNOW is wrong, won't you take the time to e-mail me and tell me so it can be corrected. I only ask for YOUR source so I can include it. As an aside, I do try to get at least two sources for all, otherwise undocumented, information.
Where did you get all of the Lachance family names?
By far, the Lachance (Pepin dit Lachance) family is the most prominent within these pages. If the information is of a "male" Lachance, especially for the first 5-6 generations, virtually all is directly from the research of Louis Lachance. He has published seven volumes of the descendents of Antoine Pepin dit Lachance and Marie Teste which he has researched. These volumes represent thousands of direct descendents of Andre and his wife. Louis has a list of sources at the beginning of each volume. Unless someone can prove otherwise, I must assume from his years of research that he is correct (even though there are known errors). You may purchase his works through the Pépin dit Lachance family association linked on the introduction page of this website.
For "non Lachance" names on the Lachance side, I have relied upon the resources of PRDH, LDS Family Searches, the many volumes of repertoires and published records and materials I have in my personal library and a handful of actual certificates I have personally ordered, and most definitely, the research of others.
Where does the Bussell family information come from?
On the Bussell side, my search continues. Almost all of the information is based upon my own personal research and includes many birth, death, and marriage certificates as well church records, Orphan Train Society transcripts, Children's Aid Society transcripts, and actual newspaper articles. Very little of this Bussell side is undocumented in some form or another. Where there is speculation, it is identified as such. I am certain that I have the lineage backwards to 1820. My specific line was definitely Quaker in origin. I have had help from John C. Bussell, of England, who traces his roots back to our common ancestors, John Hare BUSSELL and Mary GRABHAM
I asked questions when I signed the guestbook but I haven't heard from you, why not?
I receive a notification email whenever someone signs the guestbook. I check the guestbook, somewhat regularly, to see if anyone has signed it where I wasn't notified. I do my best to respond to each person who has asked me to contact them but sometimes I get behind. Don't be afraid to "slap" me with a reminder email if you haven't heard from me. Sometimes..."life comes at you fast". I don't like to send e-mail unless I have something to say. So please, go ahead and sign the guestbook. If you have a question you want answered quickly and directly, just send me an e-mail and I will do my best.
You have asked me for information but you haven't replied to my e-mail in five days, do you really want my help?
ahhhhh....the disadvantages of doing genealogy on a part-time basis. Please refer to next question for the answer.
Do you really have time to do this?
While I dedicate a tremendous amount of time and effort to the "research" and the input of information into the "database" and the "upkeep" of the website itself, it is not possible to devote every waking hour to the process, even if I really want to.
Unfortunately I must remain gainfully employed in order to support my "genealogical condition"; I maintain my home, I travel about the state, visit friends and family and, on occasion, (albeit rarely) I even manage to relax. There are times when I am simply unable to reply to my e-mail for two or three days, sometimes longer, because I am not here to do so.
I had no idea the amount of traffic and interest this site would generate and sometimes just providing a single answer can take hours. There are days where I receive 4 or 5 e-mails related to this site and each needs an answer.
Everything said, YES, I DO want your help and YES I am INTERESTED and YES, I will reply to your questions, concerns, feedback, and comments, but please, please, please, bear with me...I am only one person and everything here is accomplished by just me.
So, if I'm ever delayed in replying to your messages, e-mail or questions, please accept my most humble apologies in advance...it's just the nature of the beast! You may, however, rely on the fact that I WILL reply! What is it they say? "Patience is a virtue"? I hope you will understand. Just in case, like I've said before, feel free to "slap" me with a reminder email to wake me up.
Will you send me all of the information you have about the Lachances?
In my wildest dreams, I never imagined I would have the piles (literally all over my house) of information I have accumulated. If I were to print out JUST the descendent report for Antoine Pepin dit Lachance today (March 11, 2018), it would amount to over 3,000 pages, in 8pt narrow font, without the index of names. While I would love to be able to accommodate everyone with this, I simply cannot afford to do so...from the standpoint of time, paper, toner and wear and tear on my simple little laser printer at home and ... lest we forget ... postage.
For everyone's benefit, my entire database is posted to the website under Surname Database. (check the menu). It IS complete (concurrent with my search thus far) in names and usually fairly current with the status of my database I keep locally.
If you are related or want to collaborate in research, I am more than happy to help where I am able. Just e-mail me to tell me how I can help and I'll try to answer your questions and get you the information you need.
Why don't you update your surname list more frequently?
The size of my local database has grown exponentially with the number of individuals I have included. Even a "stripped" GEDCOM is now over 30 megabyte in size. This, combined with other "daily life" priorities, prevents me from being able to spend the time required to update more frequently.
For me to manage my time, I only upload the actual database on an infrequent (once every five or six months) basis. Sorry...when I win the lottery so I no longer have to work to earn my keep, I promise I'll do better. Of course, donations are graciously accepted and put to good use, I promise.
Did you design this page yourself; from scratch; How?
In the old days, I created most of this site using plain old HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)...a web building code that I learned by watching, viewing source codes, and trial and error. I continue to learn as web design evolves and have adapted to newer methods of providing the content. The bottom line is that I am solely responsible for the publishing of this site. I still rely on the expertise of others, like Darrin Lythgow who wrote the PHP program (TNG - The Next Generation) that I use to present the database.
The graphics, pictures, buttons and bars are from a variety of sources, some available on the net, others I created myself using Adobe Photoshop or other handy little tools. Some actual photographs were taken by me using whatever I have on hand to shoot the photo, or scanned from originals using my scanner. As of 2018, I am using WYSIWYG Web Builder Software to make the pages.
Will you design a website or page for me?
Ummmmm...perhaps not. As much as I would like to do this for a living, I am currently employed in another field of work. So, no, I'm afraid I am unable to design pages for you.
If you are a family member, (ie: some sort of relative ) and you only want a single page or maybe some ideas, let me know what you're looking for and perhaps I can help...gratis of course.
Are the "Native American" stories I hear, true?
This is a question that comes up on a regular (relatively frequent) basis. I have not actively pursued the relationship between our family members and the "Native American" population but the stories do persist. I have also not found any evidence (yet) for those people that I have researched or have information on, other than the Lachance's out in Oregon. I decided it best to try to put my own answer on the site. A page, linked in the "and more" section of the site menu - "Native Americans" is the only real answer I have.
Do you speak French?
The easiest answer is NO. I can read French, I can write some too but when it comes to conversational French, my vocabulary is quite limited and I still find myself translating in my head before I can reply. I will try to reply to French questions with French answers but please bear with me as I'm really not proficient.
Are We Related????
The short answer is - IF you have a french last name and it is rooted in Quebec, most likely we are going to be somehow related! At least my research has proven this to be true so far.
IF it's on the Bussell side, it's really difficult to say. The Bussell name seemingly has many origins and I simply don't know the answer. It's possible but to make that determination could take a lifetime.
How do I link to the Lachance.org Web site?
I appreciate all the help I can get. Linking to this site is great for all concerned.
Feel free to link any way you like. If you want to use the logo at the top left of
the page, simply right click on it and save the image to your PC, then embed it in you site
and create the link. Thank for your support!
What if I still have questions?
If there are any other questions you would like answered, please e-mail me using the contact me page, or the comments link, either one. I'll do my best to answer questions from everyone.

Encouraging News to Share
Last summer, Masanja came to visit his 6 year-old niece Margareth, along with her siblings and her mother, in the Tabora region of Western Tanzania. It seemed like a perfectly normal activity until I learned that Margareth's uncle had never come around to visit before, and that she and her mother have albinism.
Days later, Margareth disappeared. Her mother immediately sounded the alarm, telling her neighbours and the police.
Instead of falling on deaf ears as too often happens in these situations, everyone jumped into action! Why?
Because months earlier Under The Same Sun had been in to the villages in the area conducting a major Albinism Awareness campaign. We had visited the local police stations and authorities to build awareness. We had conducted public seminars with large crowds of curious villagers. People from nearby towns had also come. And we ran a series of TV and radio spots in the region, even holding a discussion program on Understanding Albinism at one local radio station.
So when Margareth disappeared, the neighbours instantly understood what might have happened.
Was the little girl taken because she had albinism? Had the uncle abducted his niece? The villagers started a search. People noticed the movements of the uncle, and reported them to the police. The police got a tip that a man was looking for a buyer to purchase the little girl.
The police then set the trap.
An officer posed as a witchdoctor. Soon, the uncle approached him offering a deal for Margareth. He was immediately arrested and quickly confessed to the abduction leading the police straight to the little girl. She was rescued and safely reunited to her family.
The uncle, who plead guilty to all charges including abduction with the intent to kill, was quickly brought to trial and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Every awareness raising activity does bring about change.

Having recently visited the Emerald Isle, it almost seems that "the troubles" are far behind; The peace accord is firmly in place, and the picturesque country no longer lives in daily threat of terroristic incidents. Ah, but talk to a native and the bucolic landscape doesn't look so peaceful. Memories of civil strife are still fresh in the minds of any adult resident because they all remember what it was like when they were children. And it wasn't pretty. Gary Hook (Jack O'Connell) is a young British soldier whose unit is snatched out of basic training in order to help quell a riot in Belfast on 1971. That in itself, of course, is bad policy: Neither Hook nor his unit is trained in any kind of riot control tactics. And they're completely green even wearing the uniform, much less learning to trust each other and to look out for each other. That's why, in the midst of the chaos and confusion of confronting an angry mob, Hook gets separated from his unit, beaten to a bloody … [Read more...]
A Girl Like Her
This is a highly emotional film that is difficult to watch because the subject matter seems so realistically raw. Writer/director Amy S. Weber has made her mostly hand-held camera work look like a documentary, and the effect is immediate. It's about school bullying, which, of course, everyone is against, but nonetheless persists in our schools. Most of us can remember some incident from our childhood where we were not treated kindly by another child. But what if that escalates into habitual, continual harassment? What does that do to a child? What does it say about the one doing the bullying? And how about the others – students, teachers, administration – who stand by and watch and do nothing to stop it? Whose "fault" is it? Jessica Burns (Lexie Ainsworth) is an easy girl to like – cute, in a girl-next-door kind of way, a little shy, a lot quiet, but with a bright smile and an easy-to-be-with demeanor. She was once friends with Avery Keller (Hunter King), but something happened that … [Read more...]
Interview with Amy S Weber, director/writer of "A Girl Like Her"
Phone interview with Amy S. Weber Director/writer of "A Girl Like Her" Dallas, Texas; March 24, 2015 Ronald P. Salfen for "The Presbyterian Outlook" Presbyterian Outlook: First, I want to say that I enjoyed this movie. No, "enjoyed" wouldn't be the right term – it was highly impactful, and one that has stayed with me ever since I saw it. Amy S. Weber: Thanks, I appreciate hearing that. Presbyterian Outlook: That format you chose, with the documentary-style within the scenes – I have to admit, you had me going for a while there. What was your intent in filming it that way? Amy S. Weber: I thought that format would put the viewer up-close and personal with the bullying, and also I wanted to make sure people knew that the girl doing the bullying herself had lots of issues. She wasn't a bad person, really, she just engaged in bad behavior, which could be corrected. I don't believe any of us were born evil. We learn to do bad things because of responses to our environment. … [Read more...]
Veronica Roth's wildly popular youth novels about a dystopian future in the ruins of Chicago were converted into a highly successful movie ("Divergent," 2014), and now this sequel. You can see why Hollywood loves these: they celebrate diversity and the idea of following one's own path. Yes, the main themes play right into Hollywood's persistent agenda. So of course the filmmakers make the productions as slick and believable as they can, despite the science fiction trappings, and feature some of the industry's best young "A" list stars. It almost works. But the result is just too hopeless, violent, humorless, and arrogant to appeal to many mainstream moviegoers. There's neither charm nor elegance here. And certainly no cute or endearing, either. The good news is that this sequel can be successfully viewed without having seen the original, although there is plenty of reference to what has happened before. The world consists of a ruined Chicago, with a big electric, impassable wall … [Read more...]
The good news is that this is a solid, winsome live-action rendering of the classic Disney animated version. Those of us who have read this familiar story to our children, and then our grandchildren, will delight in how "faithful" it is to the original (OK, technically, the real "original" is more than 400 years old, and even the Grimm Fairy tale version is more than 200 years old, and there are, by last count, 345 variants to this classic myth, but for most of us, the 1950 Disney animated version is the real "original.") But the bad news is that it's so predictable that there are no surprises, which will disappoint viewers expecting some creative fresh approach. Lily James (of "Downton Abbey" fame) plays Cinderella like a good veteran actress: from buoyantly happy to sadly resigned, she conveys to us that her basically kind spirit cannot be broken, even by an evil stepmother and her two selfish shallow, mean-spirited daughters. But what we like about Cinderella, her placid demeanor … [Read more...]
Red Army
Some of us are old enough to remember the "Red Scare," when as schoolchildren in the 1950s, at the height of The Cold War, we practiced hiding under our desks in case of nuclear attack. Yes, you read that right. Some of us are old enough to remember that the Russians actually launched the Sputnik first in the "space race." The U.S.S.R seemed like a juggernaut, a Red Tide unstoppable on the other side of the globe – as if China and Russia were a big monolithic political system that was threatening to spread as far as Cuba (remember the Cuban Missile Crisis?) and yes, Vietnam. According to film writer and director Gabe Polsky, it was Stalin who personally ordered the Soviet hockey team to be part of the Army, because he wanted to take pride in the way it would outshine its Western opponents and so demonstrate the superiority of the Communist system. It's fitting that Polsky uses a clip from a Ronald Reagan to introduce his documentary, warning us solemnly about the dangers of … [Read more...]

text: Afgoo is another name for Afgooey, a cross of Maui Haze, a sativa from Maui and Afghani #1, a cut grown in California since at least the 1980s that was composed of several landrace Afghani hash-making varieties. It's a good nighttime strain with strong indica genetics (sativa/indica ratio of 20:80). THC levels are strong, passing 28% in some tests. There isn't much CBD in this strain, though, less than 1%, so it shouldn't be used to treat conditions that respond to CBD, such as epilepsy. Instead, it's an effective treatment for depression, chronic pain, nausea, insomnia, and loss of appetite. The high is centered almost entirely on the body, with a calming euphoric sensation and a happy mood. The effect can be sleep-inducing and often comes with strong hunger. The Afgoo aroma is skunky and sweet, similar to pine, and the flavor is similar. Medical users should expect some potential side effects, including dry mouth and red eyes.

John Anderson first hit the country charts in 1977. He was a constant chart-topper for about seven years, but dropped out of sight for a while, then re-appeared with the smash album, "Seminole Wind." Since then, he's been as popular as ever. This is a fun album, with tracks ranging from the rollicking, honky-tonkers, "Let The Guitar Do The Talking" with guest Mark Knopfler on guitar and "My Kind of Crazy" to the more introspective, "Long, Hard Lessons Learned" and "Paradise." Levon Helm joins Anderson for the tongue-in-cheek, "And The Band Played On," one of the best cuts. Anderson has a genuine twang and edge in his voice that makes his material so appealing. He is able to deliver a song in a way that can touch and entertain you at the same time. He's one of a very few of today's country artists to have had hit records in three separate decades.
The disc was co-produced by Anderson and Nashville veteran, James Stroud. Clearly, they have found the formula for pleasing Anderson's many fans.

Subdomains in Cloud Website Hosting
When you purchase a cloud website hosting plan through us, you'll be able to create subdomains with ease using your Hepsia hosting CP. We've decided not to restrict their number, so even if you host just one domain name in the account, you are going to be able to create as many subdomains as you want and have a different website for every single one of them. During the creation of a subdomain, you'll be able to select the folder inside the account that it's going to open, set up custom error pages, activate FrontPage Extensions and error logs, select a server shared IP address or a dedicated one if you have such, and more. All hosted domain names and the subdomains you create for them are going to be conveniently listed in alphabetical order in one location and you'll be able to gain access to a lot of functions for each one of them with right-click context menus - records, files, etc.
Subdomains in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you buy a semi-dedicated server package, you'll be able to create as many subdomains as you want simply because this feature is unlimited. For the reason that the hosting plans are quite powerful, we have decided not to set any restriction on the amount of subdomains. Our innovative Hepsia CP will permit you to create a new subdomain with no more than a few clicks, to choose which folder it'll access in the account, to activate FrontPage Extensions for it, to set up unique error pages, to set a shared or a dedicated IP address if you have one, and much more. To make it easier for you, all of the subdomains are going to be listed under their root domain, so that you can effortlessly see and manage them. Using instant access links, you will also have the ability to open the website files for each of the subdomains that you have or view its DNS records.

Governor survives blackface scandal
NORFOLK, Va. (AP):
The mystery of whether Governor Ralph Northam was in the racist yearbook photo that upended Virginia politics may never be solved, but one thing is clear: The governor has survived what many initially thought was a fatal blow and has managed to return to something resembling normal.
Since a picture surfaced in February from Northam's 1984 medical school yearbook page showing a man in blackface standing next to someone in a Ku Klux Klan hood and robe, Northam has managed to fend off demands for his resignation.
He's even won praise from black lawmakers for such moves as ending the suspension of driver's licences for unpaid fines and ordering a review of how schools teach America's racial history.
"I'm looking forward to seeing what else comes out of the administration," said Del. Jennifer Carroll Foy, a member of the black caucus and a rising star in her party who is considering a statewide run in 2021.
Stephen Morris, an African American from Suffolk, reacted with a shrug Wednesday after attorneys hired by Eastern Virginia Medical School said they couldn't "conclusively determine" the identities of either person in the 35-year-old photo.
"I don't take it to be a big thing. As long as he's doing the right thing with our government, I don't think he should leave office at all," Morris said.
Such a muted response is a far cry from a few months ago when Northam's clumsy response to the picture caused a major uproar. The Democrat initially acknowledged he was in the photo and apologised, then reversed course the next day, saying he was not in it.
The Virginia Legislative Black Caucus, the state House Democratic Caucus, the state Senate Democratic Caucus, the Democratic Party of Virginia, and every Virginia Democrat in Congress called on Northam to resign. So did Democratic presidential hopefuls and several key progressive groups that have been some of the governor's closest political allies.
"People he naively thought were friends didn't even make a phone call to at least tell the governor they were going to call for his resignation," Northam's chief of staff, Clark Mercer, told lawyers investigating the yearbook picture.

When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored the boat. When they got out of the boat, people at once recognized him, and rushed about that whole region and began to bring the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. And wherever he went, into villages or cities or farms, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched it were healed.

We are called on this day to consider our own relationship to those around us who are suffering and who are sick. We reflect on developing our capacity to be effective givers of care, by thought and prayer and action. We recognize that a spirit of and willingness to be generous lies at the heart of our encounters and relationship with those who are suffering and sick.
In today's gospel, Mark tells of people bringing the sick to Jesus wherever he was seen, in the hopes that he may heal them.

Let them recover their health,
so that, restored to the Christian community,
they may joyfully praise your name,
for you live and reign for ever and ever.

This geometric silver necklace is simple in shape but has a distinctive hammered shiny finish which catches the light and glints as you move.
This is big and dramatic, simple in shape with a big impact.
The circle is approximately 6cm across, made from 2mm square profile solid silver wire, with a lovely heavy feel.
The necklace, chain and fittings are all 925 solid sterling silver.
We package everything in our stylish, grey, environmentally friendly, cardboard boxes, with our logo in hot foil in silver on the top. If you like we can send it straight to your gift recipient, please let us know and we can pop in a message for you too.
Silver should be stored away from light and heat to keep it looking its best. Silver will tarnish over time and can discolour if it comes into contact with chemicals or even react to acid in perfume and some beauty products. We recommend you put your jewellery on last when you are getting ready to go out and take it off for sleeping, washing and swimming, to keep it in tip top condition.
Any build up or tarnish is easily cleaned via one of the following methods: A good old fashioned wash with an old toothbrush and some soap (take care with any leather products not to scrub too hard); a rub with a 'Goddards Silver Cloth' which is impregnated with polish; a quick (10 seconds) dip in 'Goddards Silver Dip', followed by a quick dip in hot water and a brush with soap, using an old toothbrush, then buffed dry with a soft cloth.

Call for Papers
Date: June 25 - 27, 2019
Venue: Munster (Westphalia), Germany
Organizers: Dr. Sarah Demmrich (University of Munster) & Prof. Dr. Ulrich Riegel (University of Siegen)
Abstract Deadline: January 15, 2019
The concept of religiosity as a highly individual aspect of religion and its research was shaped in Protestant circles in the Western context (Belzen, 2015). It inspired a huge body of research and further developments in the psychology of religion, the sociology of religion, and theology. In non-Western contexts, however, this concept has been proven only partially effective for the description and measuring of religiosity. This observation raises the question if research on religiosity is a science of Western Christianity (Cutting & Walsh 2008; Hill & Hood, 1999). Even within the Western context the present concepts and instruments are only partially applicable to measure religiosity in highly religious individuals adequately. This observation raises the question if the contemporary conceptualizations and operationalization of religiosity are too strongly oriented towards the ideal of an enlightened and individualized belief.
In light of these two observations, the Munster conference discusses the established concepts of religiosity and aims to expand them by alternative concepts where appropriate.

Summer, 2001
The Coldwater Memorial lists twenty three dead in four wars.
The monument is a stone
(granite) marker in the Coldwater, Ohio, municipal park (Memorial
Park) near the swimming pool. It was a project of and funded by the
American Legion in Coldwater.
The master inscription reads, "THESE MEN GAVE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE". The stone bears the names of the war dead from that community in WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. My father's name is on the marker, even though he was from Indiana. Mother's address was Coldwater and thus it became his adopted home of record!
The names inscribed on the stone from WWII are William A. Bettinger, Paul A. Buschur, Walter W. Diller, Othmar Klosterman, Russel K. Reed, Robert V. Reno (my Dad), Herbert A. Sanning, Luke O. Schockman, William J. Schockman, and Francis J. Stelzer.
Of interest, one of the WWI dead whose name is inscribed is my great-uncle Herbert Gottes. Eerie looking at a stone that only has 23 names on it, and two of them are in my family.
My mother and I visit the Coldwater, Celina, St. Henry, Ohio area frequently. All of her family came from that part of Ohio. She ran into a friend of hers who asked if she had seen the memorial stone at the Memorial Park in Coldwater that had my father's name on it. We went to see it, and fortunately I had my camera. This was two summers ago in 2001.
The stone had been up for a few years; I have no idea how long it has been there. And, perhaps, the most interesting part to me is that my Dad was not from that area! He was born and raised in Indiana, but Mother was living in Coldwater with her parents and my brother when Dad was killed. So Ohio was the address of "home" as far as the paperwork was concerned!
Sometimes it's a good idea to be aware of where our mothers were living when our dads died. In this particular case, if we had not had family to visit, I know I may not have ever seen this memorial. What a blessing it was to find!
