Underage Drinking Young Adults
627 wordsWhy has America had so many problems with underage drinking? I think that there is way too much underage drinking by young adults in America. On the other hand, I dont believe that it is their fault. I feel, that the lawmakers should lower the drinking age. The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1986 forces states to enforce the legal age of 21 years old or lose matching highway funds. Alcohol has been around since the beginning of time and its not going to disappear. I believe that alcohol is...

588 wordsDo you go out a lot? What do you look for at a good party? The answers to these questions could help you decide if a party with alcohol or one with out would better suit you. These are the two main types of parties with the two main groups of party goers at each one. Each set of people have different motives, techniques on how to party good, and different places to go, which is why it is rare to see the two groups party together and really enjoy themselves. A party with alcohol is different comp...

Yet, it is illegal for us to sit down to have a drink in a controlled, supervised atmosphere, or even sip champagne at your own wedding. II.

Legal Drinking Age Minimum Drinking Age
1,539 wordsThe introduction of young people to beverage alcohol varies considerably in different cultural settings. In many societies the age at which the purchase and public consumption of beverage alcohol becomes legal is also the age at which other "adult" rights and responsibilities are bestowed. What is neither clear nor consistent is the age at which this should occur. Communities recognize the capacity for alcohol to be abused, particularly by young and inexperienced drinkers. The imposition of a le...

Growing up in a family full of alcoholism and abuse, I can relate to the point of view that this poem is written in.

If there's room for improvement with your swing, here are a few tips that can help you take better aim.
The first thing you want to do is learn to address the ball correctly. The bigger the club the more you want to spread your feet. When you use a driver, your feet should be spread shoulder length. Then slowly bring your feet together as you get to your middle irons.
When you get to your wedge, your feet should not be as far open. Your driver should be played off the inside left heel of your left foot. Your five irons should be played in the middle of your stance. The wedge will be played off the right heel, which causes your ball to stop on the green or back up the ball.
When you prepare to swing, begin with your shoulder turning slightly, which will cause your weight and hips to shift. As you slowly lift your club, do not cock your wrist too soon. Try to shorten your swing and make sure you stay down and get the ball through on your down swing. What pro golfers do so well is they hit the ball solid every time. What you can do is hit the ball solid every time by not trying to kill it. You might connect half the time when you over-swing, but to score better you need to be more consistent. You will not lose distance if you hit the ball at a solid angle. You can add weight to the club head of your driver or buy a graphite shaft. Remember, when you start down on your swing, don't let your right shoulder begin the swing or you won't be able to come over the top and you will develop a slice.
Have you ever had a good round going and out of nowhere you shanked the ball? This kills your score, of course, and then the problem can mentally get in your head so you start shanking more and more. I have seen players walk off the course without finishing their round of golf because they were so upset. A shank happens when you swing inside out or outside in. To cure the inside out swing, lay a towel on the green just outside your target line, and aim for it when you swing. This will force you to make a better pivotal motion through the ball, and with enough practice, cure the in to out path.
For the outside in shank, place a towel or similar object just outside the ball but angle it into right field. Try to swing from the inside, attempting to hit the extreme in side of the ball and not the towel. This will force your swing path to come from the inside and not over the top.
Keep in mind that the more you practice, the easier this will be to do. It will take a little time for you to become comfortable with this swing, but that is just normal. Try to go to a driving range so that you can hit off grass and not mats or artificial objects.

Film Presentation: Conversations with Willard Van Dyke
Thursday, March 19th at 7:45 pm
Studio Art Centers International
Palazzo dei Cartelloni, Clayton Hubbs Lecture Hall
Via Sant'Antonino 11 – Florence, ITALY
Please join us at a presentation in SACI's Clayton Hubbs Lecture Hall (Palazzo dei Cartelloni): SACI Artists Council member, award winning filmmaker and photographer Amalie R. Rothschild, will present her film, Conversations with Willard Van Dyke (1981, 59 minutes).
A candid portrait of a filmmaker-photographer who believed that film could change the world. It explores the dilemma of anyone with a social conscience who must face the harsh realities of earning a living while retaining their integrity.
Synopsis: In 1935 photographer Willard Van Dyke moved to New York with the belief that films "could change the world" and began a new career as a filmmaker. His name soon became synonymous with social documentary in the U.S. His images of cotton fields, steel mills and industrial towns, and his portraits of unemployed factory workers and their families, provide an invaluable chronicle of those years and have become timeless examples of cinematic art. A candid portrait of a distinguished and outspoken man, this film includes conversations with colleagues Ralph Steiner, Joris Ivens and Donald Richie; footage of Edward Weston, his close friend and mentor; and many excerpts. It explores the dilemma of anyone with a social conscience who must face the harsh realities of earning a living while retaining their integrity. And it reveals a man in his seventies still determined to do good creative work.
Willard Van Dyke (1906-1986) was a pioneering US documentary filmmaker and photographer who from 1965-1974 was the Director of the Film Department at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. He was Edward Weston's protégé and a founding member of Group f/64 which held its first exhibition in his Oakland, CA studio in 1932.

Believe it or not, there really are a lot of rules and techniques for riding a bike. You don't just hop on and coast down the neighborhood street, like you did as a kid! Typically you must not only follow all the same traffic rules that a car would, but you also have a lot to do with shifting gears and skinny tires and all!
- Clipless pedals
Typical Look-style clipless pedal
The first thing you'll need to get the hang of is clipping in and out of your cleats. ("clipless pedals", as they are called – in reference to the old-school pedals that had clips that held your shoes on tight) They seem intimidating at first, but don't panic. A simple twist of the foot – kicking your heel out a bit – will release your foot. You can do this at almost zero miles per hour if you don't freak out! Practice it a few times until you get comfortable. And always remember you're clipped in when you come to a stop! (Many panicked new cyclists tip over because they forget to clip out!) …Clipping in can be a challenge as well. Most pedal styles (Look, Shimano, etc.) are "one-sided", which means you can only clip in on one side. Some (Speedplay and most mountain bike pedals) are "two-sided", which means you can clip in on either side. While the two-sided ideas seems easier, the one-sided variants are actually quite easy if you know the techniques. Basically, they're weighted such that the back of the pedal always hangs down. So, to clip in, you simply push the front of the pedal forward, which will rotate the whole thing in line with your shoe. Ideally you "catch" the cleat of your shoe on the pedal, and then you simply press down until you hear the solid "click". Getting the first one in when you're stopped is easy. (I clip my left foot in because I'm left-handed and left-footed, I suppose!) The second one is a bit of a challenge, however. You typically have to look down for a second to get things lined up. Then drag your shoe across the front of the pedal until the cleat on your shoe catches, then press down until it "clicks" and your done! Sometimes it takes a couple tries, so don't feel embarrassed if you don't get it the first (or the second) time at an intersection. Just be very careful – you can ride the pedal without being completely "clicked" in until you get to a safe spot on the other side of the intersection if necessary!

Tipping & Gratitudes
Tipping for your trip leader and driver is expected - though not compulsory - and shows an expression of satisfaction with them who have assisted you on your tour. Tipping is appreciated if they did an excellent job for you. While it may not be customary to you, it is of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspire excellent service and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry across the third pole destinations.
The following amounts are based on local considerations and feedback from our past travelers:
Trip Leader: the amount is entirely a persoanl preference, however asw a guideline USD20 per day for all of your group can be used. Of course you are free to tip more or less as you see fit, depending on your perception of service quality and the length of your trip. Remember a tip is not compulsory and should only be given when you receive excellent service.
Drivers: the driver will be with you for the whole trip. We suggest USD10-15 per day is generally appropriate.
Porters: Throughout your trip, you may at times have a porter in addition to your leader. We suggest USD1-3 per day.

Seeking treatment for your foot pain can be overwhelming, and you may have many questions for us about your particular ailment and treatment options. Here, we share answers for the questions we are asked most about medical care for ankles, feet, and lower legs.
- Page 1
Why are my toes cold?
The reasons for cold toes are numerous, ranging from nervous disorders to frostbite (though that's unlikely to happen in our Arizona climate). The common denominator for all causes, however, is poor circulation.
With diabetes, increased sugar levels can narrow the vessels and cause sluggish blood flow. If you have high cholesterol, plaque can form inside your arteries and veins, constricting the flow. With frostbite cases, the capillaries are damaged when the tissue freezes.
There is also a rarer condition called Raynaud's (pronounced ray-NOHZ) phenomenon that can cause attacks of cold toes, and even turn them blue. This nerve condition reacts to cold temperatures or stress with spasms in the vessels, stopping blood flow at the skin surface. Your toes feel cold and numb, and then tingle or feel prickly when the circulation is restored.
You can treat cold toes by wearing warm socks, exercising, eating right, and avoiding stress as much as possible, but other treatments are available, too. When you are ready to find help, we are ready to give it. Just call Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists of Arizona in Chandler, AZ at (480) 963-9000 or in Gilbert at (480) 981-1800 to schedule your appointment.
How can I improve my circulation?
There are many ways to improve circulation in your lower limbs. In fact, this is important if you suffer from cold feet, muscle cramps, or trouble with wounds. Lifestyle changes can have a big impact. If you spend most of your time standing, walk around a bit and take breaks to sit. If you spend most of your time sitting, take breaks to walk and stand. Don't stay in one position for too long. Exercise regularly to boost your heart rate and send more blood to your extremities as well.
Don't wear tight footwear that could restrict blood flow. Drink plenty of water and eat healthily. Cut down the saturated fats that could contribute to plaque build-up in the blood. Instead, opt for healthy veggies and fruits. Cut tobacco from your life as well, since it can stiffen arteries.
Our team at Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists of Arizona will help you set up a plan to manage circulation problems, from peripheral arterial disease to Raynaud's disease. Make an appointment online, or by calling or faxing: call the Gilbert office at (480) 981-1800 or fax to (480) 981-0229; call the Chandler office at (480) 963-9000 or fax to (480) 963-0375.

The ending of the War made a difference in my relations with Colette. During the War we had many things to do in common, and we shared all the very powerful emotions connected with the War. After the War things became more difficult and more strained. From time to time we would part for ever, but repeatedly these partings proved unexpectedly temporary.

Rotary concert will help the Ark
Good music and good causes are set to be a winning combination as a rousing annual charity concert raises the rafters and pounds at a world-famous Basingstoke venue.
The Anvil is the perfect place to see and hear great music being performed, and on Sunday, January 28, 2018, The Rotary Club of Basingstoke Deane will be hosting another fabulous and memorable event at the award-winning concert hall.
The Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines will be centre stage as they entertain the audience by playing their way through an impressive, and wide-ranging, repertoire.
The Band never fail to delight, and their performances at the annual charity event have become a popular feature of The Anvil calendar.
As well as the Band, the concert will feature The Royal Corps of Drums and a special guest appearance by The Chelsea Pensioners.
This year's concert will see all profits from the event going to charities supported by Basingstoke Deane Rotary Club, including Help for Heroes and Ark Cancer Centre Charity, which is raising £5million towards a unique local Cancer Treatment Centre that will be built in the Basingstoke area.
Basingstoke Deane Rotary Club President Lindy Richardson said: "This concert is always a very special event for Basingstoke.
"It is a real privilege to have The Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines, The Royal Corps of Drums, and a dozen Chelsea Pensioners in town. The music will be superb, and the atmosphere will be exhilarating and unashamedly patriotic."
This will be the 10th annual charity concert organised by Basingstoke Deane Rotary, and in recent years, each concert has raised more than £15,000 for good causes.
Lindy added: "Tickets for the concert are on sale now, and they would make an ideal Christmas present. It is always a popular concert that sells out quickly so I would encourage people to get their tickets before the festive season ends."
Merv Rees, Ark Cancer Centre Charity trustee, said: "I am very grateful to the Basingstoke Deane Rotarians for choosing Ark Cancer Centre Charity as one of the good causes that will benefit from this wonderful annual concert again. This is a very welcome, and significant, show of ongoing support."
The music begins in The Anvil on Sunday, January 28 at 3pm. Tickets are available now from the box office on 01256 844244 or online at anvilarts.org.uk.

The monsoon season that began in July has not let up here in the Arizona Highlands, Normally occasional drops from the heavens are welcomed by all the living things including us desert dwellers. This time around, the fury that descended upon the Prescott National Forrest was a bit too much for our desert habitat, and the storm was considered an event that happens only every few decades.
A torrential rain mixed in with hails resulted to in flooding the Arcosanti site and desert wash which are otherwise dry most of the year.
Our recently repaired dike in the field could not hold the relentless rise in water and eventually gave out.
A day after. The havoc left by the rains became apparent when we looked to the east.[Photo by SA & Text by Tee]

Startup: Practically speaking, what would you say is the most important thing you have to do in the time you have remaining on earth?
1. As you read this chapter, what's the strongest impression or image which it leaves in your mind?
2. What one-word adjectives would best describe Mary Magdalene as you see her in this chapter? What one-word descriptions would you give for Thomas as you see him here?
3. How would you explain verses 30-31 to a young child?
4. Think again of the statement about Jesus in John 1:18. From what you see in chapter 20, what is God like?
5. EYE FOR DETAIL— Try answering the following question without looking at your Bible: After Jesus showed Himself to Thomas, what did Thomas call Him? (See verse 28.)
6. What are the major lessons this chapter teaches about faith?
7. In verses 19 and 21, why do you think Jesus spoke the words "Peace be with you" to His disciples?
8. How could you use verses 24-29 to help an unsaved friend who said he needed more proof about Christ before he could believe in Him?
9. How could you use verses 30-31 to help a new Christian understand the value of the Scriptures?
10. How fully can you define and describe the "life" John speaks of in the final phrase in this chapter?
11. Immediately after the events of this chapter, if you talked with the disciple Thomas and asked him to define the word faith, how do you think he would have answered?
12. If you had only this chapter in Scripture to refer to, how would you use it to help show someone that Jesus is truly God?
13. Look at each statement Jesus makes in verses 21-23. Then imagine you're one of the disciples in the locked room when Jesus appeared. What thoughts and questions would go through your mind as you heard each of the things which Jesus said?
14. Look again at the two things which Thomas called Jesus in verse 28. How would you define what it means to you personally to call Jesus those two things?
15. With the words of verse 31 in mind, how has this study of John deepened your faith, even though you may have been a believer in Christ Jesus for a long time?
16. Think again about verse 31. Then identify together the kinds of people in your community whom you would say probably know the least about the living Lord Jesus Christ. What else are these people like? What do they do in daily life? Where do they live? Now imagine God has brought you together with a small group of these people, and in this meeting they indicate a genuine desire to understand who Jesus is and what He has done. From what you have seen in the gospel of John, what are the most important things you would want to communicate to them, and how would you word it?
Analyze the importance of Jesus' resurrection as you think together about this chapter, and about these supporting passages: Rom 4:25; 1 Cor 15:17, and Rev 1:18.

I dusted off the Dogi the other night (it's been a while) and paid a visit to Redlands Aikido to share some thoughts on stability (thanks for the invite Clem).

Business and Pleasure in Japan
Visiting Japan brings with it the pleasure of seeing old and new friends again, some indulgence in my favourite hobby of aikido (a kind of energy minimisation problem in a martial context) and the very serious business of sports and sports engineering.

The Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) is used to identify, source, and prioritize your best prospects – but how do you create an accurate ICP in the first place?
First, let's level-set on why you should go through this exercise in the first place. Two words: finite resources.
It takes time, money, and people to attract, convert, and delight new customers! And as a savvy business professional, you want to ensure that your resources are allocated to those prospects who will deliver the best return. You can't market to everyone.
Besides ensuring that your existing customers are a long-term fit, the ICP also tells your teams what resources are needed to keep them feeling valued, supported, and part of your community once all of the new customer activities subside. If you know your ICP well, than you'll be keenly aware of how you can solve their pain points now and in the future.
What is an Ideal Customer Profile?
Your Ideal Customer Profile is defined by company firmographics: the set of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of your best-fit accounts. (The company-level ICP is often confused with the Buyer Persona, which is focused on qualities of the individual buyer.)
Developing an ICP should be viewed as a strategic exercise that must involve sales, marketing, and leadership to develop and agree upon the definition and parameters of the characteristics feeding into that definition.
How do you rally? Help sales and marketers understand what a good ICP can do for them:
- Increase effectiveness from focusing the efforts of your teams on repeatable and scalable strategies that reach and nurture the right prospects with the right message.
- Shorten sales cycles by reducing time in the awareness stage of the buyer's journey. Highly qualified prospects may already be using your competitor or looking for services like yours.
- Increased closed-won deals – those entering the pipeline are more likely to have the budget, interest, and talent needed for your product to have value.
- Better fit prospects and opportunities won turn into better fit customers who have a lower churn rate
Sold yet? (How could you not be??) Now, let's get into the how you do it.
"To get the right message to the right person at the right time you first need to get the right data to the right database at the right time." – Jessica Williams, Red Pill Media
Step 1: Find the data
Start simply: Take stock of your current customer base and uncover their common characteristics.
Export opportunity data from your CRM and append account information as needed. Then build it out with more data points relevant to your activities and industry.
Then, look for patterns. It's different for every business. You might notice that they are concentrated in a particular region of the country, a certain industry, a similar size, or involve a specific buyer.
Who are your best companies and individual buyers? Learn more about AccountView
Step 2: Identify your best customers
Take the exercise above a step further by not just looking at your entire customer universe, but honing in on your very best customer universe.
Again, it varies by organization; you'll need to determine what "best" means to you. Here are some common criteria:
- Highest NPS (Net Promoter Score)
- Highest ACV or TCV (Annual Contract Value or Total Contract Value)
- Highest potential for growth
- Highest retention rate or longest time with your company
- Highest Customer Health Score
You should also consider the customer accounts that have been the most profitable.
Once you have come up with your criteria, repeat the exercise above. Aggregate the data and look for patterns or similarities amongst this cohort.
Step 3: Find the Similarities
Some patterns may jump out at you. Others may be harder to see at first glance.
Here are some questions to ask to get you started:
- Do they have a geographic location in common?
- Are they all organizations in the same stage of life?
- Are they in a similar industry?
- What's the employee count at these customers?
The granularity of your data and segmentation tools is the only limitation here.
This set of characteristics of your best customers becomes the foundation of your ICP. You know it truly represents your best future customers because it's based on your very best existing customers.
DiscoverOrg has a tool that stack-ranks your best prospective accounts for you! Learn more about AccountView.
Step 4: Prioritize and implement
Based on the results of your evaluation, develop a best-fit rating rubric to evaluate how well an account aligns with your Ideal Customer Profile. You can then use this rating system to prioritize and align your resources and strategies, as well as identify future target companies and leads.
Here's an example:
- Best Fit: US-based companies, with over 500 employees, who manufacture and sell software security
- Good Fit: North American companies, with over 200 employees, who distribute software security
- Bad Fit: Non-North American based companies, with less than 100 employees, who do not manufacture or distribute software security
This works in prioritizing and qualifying Inbound leads – prospects that have come to your organization – to determine how you follow up or if they get passed to sales.
It also provides strategic direction for your outbound or account-based target lists, ensuring that your team is reaching out the best-fit accounts for your offering.
The Ideal Customer Profile is the North Star for your sales and marketing teams; if a company does not fit the ICP, there's a good chance they're not a good fit for your product – so don't waste your time drifting around aimlessly in the vast ocean of prospecting possibilities.
Last piece of advice? Revisit your ICP data to evaluate fit ratings over time – say, once a year – and also to reassess resource allocation and strategies. Bon voyage!

It seems like electronic music is fairly over-saturated with artists just trying to "make it," and sometimes they do for a little while. The internet has started to foster a music generation of one-hit-wonders: producers that make a single track (typically a remix) that gets a solid amount of play time, and then gradually, they fade off the map. After hearing this Louis Futon EP though, you'll see that this dude is here to stay, and has the capacity to destroy remixes and originals alike.
This seven track EP includes four originals, two of which ("Sir Rock" and "Drnuk") were previously released as singles. The other three songs on the EP are remixes from none other than Kill Paris, Tjani, and Kasbo, throwing their own twist on Futon's unique sound. The future vibe is strong with this selection, which will probably serve Louis Futon well as he continues to tour Down Under in Australia. Up for free download: go and get your groove on.

Why incorporate a company in Singapore?
5 minute read
You're probably reading this because you've heard Singapore is an excellent base to do business in South East Asia, but you aren't sure how incorporating a company here could benefit your business. This guide will discuss several key reasons why a company benefits from using Singapore as its base in the region.
Tax Benefits - the Delaware of Asia
For many companies, tax is the main reason why many companies choose to incorporate a company in Singapore. Singapore has business-friendly tax rates and a wealth of tax incentives to encourage the growth of businesses and entrepreneurship, which makes incorporating a company in Singapore a good idea. Here's a quick rundown of some of the favourable tax policies:
Ease of access to capital
Singapore has an excellent international reputation as a stable jurisdiction with a robust financial infrastructure and a well-regulated economy. From government grants, accelerators, incubators, VC, and banks, there are several ways to get access to capital at any stage of development.
This has spurred on the growth of the start-up scene in Singapore, with capital pouring into the city-state: in 2016 there was US$3.5 billion in private equity and VC investment alone.
In comparison to other countries like China, opening a corporate bank account is also a simple process. Some corporate service providers offer matchmaking services with their network of bankers, making the process even smoother. Singapore banks also offer excellent Letters of Credit (LC) support to Singapore companies engaging in international trading.
Entrepreneur-friendly government policies
In addition to the ocean of venture capital pouring into Singapore, the Singapore government has also adopted several very pro-innovation and entrepreneur-friendly policies in a bid to attract foreign startups. These policies include several forms of grants, tax incentives, and assistance schemes. Additionally, if your business falls within specific economic sectors, the government also subsidizes labor costs for your new business.
The gateway to Asia
Singapore is an international hub with a prime location in South East Asia. Sometimes referred to as 'entry level Asia' or 'Asia lite' by expats (and currently rated as the #1 city in Asia for quality of life), it's a country where east meets west.
As a logistics hub, Singapore is one of the best locations for regional business – the award-winning Changi International Airport is known for its efficiency and frequency of flights. Business is best when it's done face-to-face – and with a base in Singapore there are several key emerging markets like Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines a few hours' plane ride away.
Singapore companies also enjoy a positive and transparent image in the region–a reputable foundation for the promotion of the company to customers, suppliers and investors, as well as opening doors to business alliance opportunities.
Finding and managing local talent
If you have a head office in an English-speaking country, setting up a subsidiary or other corporate entity in Singapore is a smart choice – Singaporeans have a reputation for being hardworking, rule-abiding, and highly productive. The talent pool is highly educated, literate, and English-speaking, minimising communication difficulties between offices.
Singapore's liberal immigration laws also allow businesses to easily hire employees from any country, which can lower the company's operating costs. Nearly a third of the country's workforce are foreigners and Singapore makes it easy for any foreign professional to obtain work visas or permanent residence (PR) status (see our guides on employment and visas).
Unlike the other visas, EntrePass applications are reviewed by 3 separate government bodies – Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), Enterprise Singapore and the National Research Foundation (NRF).
World-class telecommunication infrastructure
In today's world, the availability of lightning fast internet communication infrastructure is crucial to the success of any new business. The telecommunication infrastructure of Singapore covers the entire country, with near zero blackouts or downtime.
Based on official figures, there are over 43,000 public Wi-Fi access points and 15 millions of mobile subscribers. Businesses can connect to the internet from almost anywhere without suffering a loss of network connection or delays.
Strong anti-corruption stance
Singapore has a strict policy against corruption on any level. To deter corruption, their government employees are some of the highest paid in the world. This policy is effective as Singapore is currently ranked as one of the least corrupt countries in the world.
Instead of dealing with "connections" or bribes, which makes palm-greasing necessary to get things completed, Singapore is the exact opposite. In this sense, you can know your business will succeed or fail based on its own merits, and not because of corrupt officials.
Easy incorporation process
The requirements for starting a company in Singapore are low. It's one of the easiest places to start a company in the world – it's currently ranked #2 in the World Bank's Doing Business rankings. The company only needs to have a minimum of:
You can set up a company in as little as 24 hours, compared to other countries in the region where typical processing times can take over a month (such as in the Philippines and China).
Next steps
Incorporating in Singapore is a strong choice when deciding where to base yourself. Stable economy, strong workforces, and business-friendly tax policies let you get up and running sooner- so you can spend less time tangled in admin and more time growing your business.
At Sleek we help people everyday to set up their businesses in Singapore. Talk to us for practical advice if you have any questions about incorporation at [email protected]

We're excited to hear that principal photography has begun on Gurinder Chadha's new comedy drama Blinded by the Light, with her new hybrid musical film that's reportedly going to be an amalgamation of those now-classic British quirky comedies, with a definite hint of John Hughes and stars Aaron Phagura, Viveik Kalra, Nell Williams, Kulvinder Ghir, Hayley Atwell, Rob Brydon and Sally Phillips.
Blinded by the Light has been developed from Chadha's and Brit journalist Sarfraz Manzoor's shared passion for Bruce Springsteen and based on Manzoor's celebrated rite of passage memoir Greetings from Bury Park, chronicles his experiences as a British Muslim boy growing up in 1980's Luton and the impact Springsteen's lyrics had upon him.
Rather interestingly, and quite excitingly, Chadha and Manzoor met Springsteen at the London Premier of his film The Promise in 2010 and discovered he had not only read but admired the book, Chadha had this to say about the meeting:
"I quickly pitched him the film we wanted to make from the book on the Red carpet and to our excitement Bruce nodded and said, "Sounds good – talk to Jon". We then spent several years developing a script we knew had to impress Springsteen and managers Jon Landau and Barbara Carr or there would be no film without his music and blessings."
Manzoor added:
"Growing up in eighties Luton as the working class son of Pakistani Muslim immigrants my world felt very small. In the music of Bruce Springsteen I found both hope and wisdom on how I could transcend my circumstances and make my dreams to be a writer come true. The fact that I was so affected by Springsteen's songs shows just how powerfully music can transcend race, religion, nationality and class. Blinded by the Light is also a tribute to my late father whom I often fought in my teenage years not realising his generation also had dreams they were not able to follow."

First things first: Packaging
When you are ordering goods from the internet, packaging is important. The "Look Fabulous Forever" makeup range arrived in a really sturdy silver padded envelope, that was extremely well sealed. No problems with breakage here, everything inside was in perfect condition. This is important as we are all far to busy (aren't we) to waste time sending items back! However, the returns address is very clearly marked on the back of the envelope so you feel, it there had been a mishap during transportation, you would know immediately where to return your package. Inside the makeup was tissue wrapped in a chic thick paper black carrier, so it would make an ideal present for a friend. The bag is sturdy enough to recycle and use again for another purpose, something I love to do in this throw away world.
The makeup is well labeled and stylishly packaged in blue and silver and inside it's stored in chic, easily manageable containers.

Looking for a great way to beat the Alabama heat? Want to take the ENTIRE family to enjoy one of the Gulf Coast's cool and refreshing lakes? You won't want to miss the newly-opened "Dog Pond" at Lake Shelby in Gulf State Park. This incredible outdoor doggie playground is designed specifically for man's best friend, with agility courses, play equipment, and a special dog-friendly swimming area. Fun for the entire family, this is a must for dog-lovers, friends of the four-legged, and anyone looking to treat their favorite pet to a vacation of their own at this Alabama state park.
Fun Facilities for Fido at the Dog Pond
While dogs are not allowed on the white sand beaches of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, they are more than welcome at the Dog Pond. In fact, this entire facility was built with them in mind. Your pooch will love racing through the hooped obstacle course, careening across the doggie balance beams, and vaulting over the colorful jump-bars that dot the grassy and sandy shores. (Properly trained dogs are allowed off-leash so long as they respond to verbal commands). Agility runs are ideal for training exercises, and the kids will love to doggie-bone teeter-totters, shady picnic spots, and oodles and oodles of friendly lovable dogs that come to enjoy this newly renovated park from miles around. After a spirited workout, why not reward your pup with a game of fetch in the cool, shallow waters of Lake Shelby? After all, it's not every day that your canine friend can enjoy a beach day during the dog days of summer at this Alabama State park!
Helpful Tips
All dogs with up to date vaccines and identification are welcome at the Dog Pond. Leashes must be in-hand, but are not required if your dog is properly trained. Dogs in heat or showing any signs of aggression will be asked to leave, and dog owners are responsible for their pets at all times (and must remain within visual contact). Facilities and equipment are provided to clean up after your pet. No dog food is allowed in the park (it can incite fights), but treats are okay – especially as rewards for a job well done on the agility course. NOTE: Lake Shelby is home to all manner of wildlife, including alligators, so pet owners should be vigilant at all times.
Thanks to the pet-friendly premium vacation rentals from Harris Properties and Our Gulf Shore Vacations, you don't have to leave your four-legged friend at home next time you head south for vacation! And, thanks to the newly refurbished Dog Pond at Gulf State Park, everyone can enjoy a fun day at the beach on Alabama's sunny Gulf Coast.

Best potential quarterfinal: Wake Forest vs. Duke. A bottom seed has beaten a top seed only once in tournament history, when Maryland upset North Carolina in Bob Wade's last game back in 1989. The Blue Devils are long overdue this season, and maybe sidelined coach Mike Krzyzewski fired them up by running practice earlier this week.
Worst potential quarterfinal: North Carolina vs. Clemson. Rasheed Wallace vs. Iker Iturbe; need we say more? How about Jeff McInnis, quietly becoming one of the ACC's top point guards, vs. Billy Harder? Ironically, the best individual matchup is between freshman Greg Buckner and Jerry Stackhouse. One good thing, the quicker this one ends, the earlier Maryland-Florida State will start.
Best individual quarterfinal matchup: Virginia's Harold Deane vs. Georgia Tech's Travis Best. Both were second-team all-league selections, but you could make a case for either one of them being on the first team. Both have kept their teams going despite injuries to other key players (Cory Alexander of Virginia, James Forrest of Georgia Tech). Even though Forrest has returned, Deane has better support.
Worst individual quarterfinal matchup: North Carolina's Rasheed Wallace vs. Clemson's Iker Iturbe. Enough said.

After a long hiatus, we are looking to re-initiate the WordPress discussion and meetings.
Previously, we had an engaged CMS user group that has achieved a lot in terms of road-mapping and development of UBC CMS. We are hoping to build on that, and also to expand the scope to include other WordPress instances, based of CTLT or other Faculties or units.
For the first meeting, we'd love to discuss the points of reference for the future work. Here are some ideas, please feel free to comment or add more:
• CTLT's overview of WP instances in its portfolio – where we are at
• UBC web publishing and web applications for teaching and learning and other needs- view from Faculties and central departments and WP's potential to address these needs
• Operation and support: given state; where and how to improve
• Road-mapping and development
• Communication channels
We will likely need to follow up with the more technical meeting as we might run of time to discuss the pressing challenges (Profile plugin) as well as the exciting opportunities (Gutenberg editor).
Date, Time and Venue
We are hoping to have our next meeting at 10am, on Thursday, February 21st 2019 (subject to change, based on your feedback).
We don't have a venue yet – please RSVP, we need a headcount to secure the appropriate room! (If you think that there is an available room in your unit to accommodate 30+ people, please let us know).
Apologies to some of you who may be receiving this more than once and please spread the word to those who you think might be interested.

South Florida DUI Criminal Defense Attorney on Donté Stallworth's Fatal Car Accident
One big piece of news for football fans today is Saturday's fatal car accident involving Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donté Stallworth. According to the Miami Herald, Stallworth hit and killed a pedestrian on MacArthur Causeway between Miami and Miami Beach at around 7 a.m. March 14. The Herald said Stallworth is cooperating with authorities. As is routine after a fatal traffic accident, law enforcement drew Stallworth's blood to test for drug or alcohol intoxication; results are expected at the end of the week.
This video, posted online by the Herald, shows officers performing field sobriety tests on Stallworth and trying to resuscitate the victim, 59-year-old Mario Reyes. As the newspaper warned its readers, the video is "graphic" and not appropriate for everyone because it shows Reyes at the scene.
Of course, this case is attracting a lot of attention because the driver is a celebrity -- but as a Miami vehicular homicide criminal defense lawyer, I don't see much that's out of the ordinary right now. Around the Internet, rumor has it that prosecutors are poised to charge Stallworth with DUI manslaughter once the test results come back. This has generated a lot of anger about irresponsible football players and indulgent authorities who go easy on celebrities who drive drunk.
However, as far as I can see, no established news organization has reported that Stallworth was actually intoxicated, or appeared intoxicated at the scene. In the Miami Herald's video, viewers can clearly see officers administering a horizontal gaze nystagmus test, in which Stallworth would have been asked to follow the officer's penlight with his eyes. Stallworth appears calm and cooperative. None of these things are proof that he was sober, of course, but they don't show that he was driving while intoxicated either -- and even football players are innocent until proven guilty in the United States. As a Fort Lauderdale DUI criminal defense attorney, I prefer to reserve my judgment until law enforcement releases the toxicology reports.
I know how passionate fans can be when they see players accused of -- or seeming to get away with -- serious crimes. And if there's a crime here, it is serious. Both DUI manslaughter and vehicular homicide (which doesn't require any alcohol involvement) are second-degree felonies in Florida carrying up to 15 years in prison and fines up to $10,000.
If Stallworth doesn't already have a South Florida vehicular manslaughter criminal defense lawyer, he should get one as soon as possible. Manslaughter charges are serious under any circumstances, but the situation can be seriously complicated by early conviction in the "court of public opinion." Stallworth, like everyone accused of a crime, deserves a fair trial in a court of law.

Called Chokkan in Japanese, the formal upright style is based on a tree that has grown in the open under perfect conditions. It is the basis for all bonsai styles.
The trunk is perfectly straight and upright, tapering evenly to the top. The branches are in a conical shape, spaced evenly so they look balanced from whatever angle they are viewed. The branches are usually placed following a standard pattern: the first branch from the bottom is trained to grow to about a third of the height of the tree. The second branch is higher than the first and on the opposing side of the tree. Going up the tree, the branches become shorter and closer together until they taper off completely at the top. The top of the tree in this style is quite dense, and is trained to lean slightly forward towards the viewer.
The Formal Upright style is said to be the easiest for a novice to attempt.
Suitable tree species for this style are Junipers, Larches, Spruces and Pines

Staff Reports
COLUMBUS — The Edison State men's basketball team takes their first loss on the road tonight 95-93 at Columbus State in OCCAC action.

The Cougars led by as much as seven on three occasions as the lead changed hands several times.

This business class Dell PC originally sold new for over a $1,400! You can buy one from us now for a fraction of the cost and it comes with our one year parts and labor warranty. If your looking for a bargain on a desktop that can meet the challenge of a working environment the Optiplex 980 i5 sff is a excellent choice. The Optiplex 980 i5 has enough power to take on most any multi tasking project. The Dell OptiPlex 980 Small Form Factor measures less than 12" tall, 4" wide and 13" deep. If space is a limitation, this is what you need. This computer can easily nestle behind a monitor and it's light enough to be moved around the office easily.
Upgrade? Go Ahead. Take a look in the upper right. You can add memory, a bigger hard drive, WiFi and more. But here's the best part. You can custom configure your PC and still have it shipped the same day. That's right. We are THAT good.
Warranty? You bet. This machine, like every other computer we sell, comes with a One Year Warranty direct from us. The other guys charge you 50 bucks or more for a third party warranty. There is a BIG difference between our direct warranty and the warranty the other guys sell you. We stand behind our products. We have telephone support and cover all parts and labor. Anyone who has had the misfortune of a big box third party extended warranty knows how little they really cover and how hard it is to get anything done.
Discount Electronics has the lowest prices for refurbished Dell computers on or off the web. When you are buying from Discount Electronics you are buying direct. This means you save money and know who to contact when you need help. Market places like Amazon and NewEgg add additional costs to the sale that, ultimately you pay for. These market places also make warranties a problem. You aren't really buying from NewEgg or Amazon and when you need help it is difficult to figure out who you really did buy your computer from. Contacting them can be nearly impossible.

Taking care of our teeth and mouth is very important to our health. Just like taking a shower, washing our hair and cleaning our clothes our teeth need to be cleaned and maintained as well. If our teeth are not maintained then they will begin to decay and fall out. Investing in our dental care riverside ca will ensure our teeth last a lifetime. Here are some tips and tricks that you can use to maintain oral health.
Picking the right brush
When looking at a toothbrush we will see a million different types. We will find ones that are small with tight bristles and we will find brushes large with spaced bristles. There are even electric tooth brushes, spinning heads and so much more. The idea is to get a brush that fits comfortably in your mouth and will get between the spaces in your teeth. You will also want to floss and use a water pic as well if possible. The trick with brushes is to get everywhere.
Brushing Techniques
When it comes to brushing your teeth there is a specific way that it should be done. First of all take your brush and angle it to a forty five degree angle. Then using short strokes brush from side to side. It is recommended that you brush your teeth for no less than two minutes twice a day.
Use Mouthwash
Mouthwash is a necessary component to clean teeth. With mouthwash you are using a liquid that is able to travel through your mouth where your brush and floss can't reach. The mouthwash will help remove leftover particles as well as kill extra bacteria that is growing. Make sure to spit after using mouthwash so that any leftover bacteria and germs are washed away and don't remain on your teeth.
