3 Qualities to Look for in a Great Limo Service
When you are hiring a limo service for whatever occasion, there are several qualities to consider in order to ensure you get the best. This is regardless of the use of the limo service. Whether it's for airport transportation, a wedding, prom night or an adventurous night out. Below are the qualities to look for in a great limo service.
A great Limo Rental in Boston should have highly-trained professional staff. Such professional staff will ensure punctuality and always arrive to pick up their client a few minutes before time. Not being punctual will not only cost them business in future but could highly inconvenience a client. In the case of airport transportation, a client could miss a flight for instance.
Highly professional staff will also dress according to the event they are being hired for. If they are ferrying executives, they will dress formally. If they are driving guests to and from a party at night, they might dress a little less formally.
For a limo hire service, professionalism starts during the hiring phase. For instance, they will have to ensure that they only hire licensed drivers who have a good safety record and who have undergone testing for alcohol and drugs.
A great limo service will ensure a client experiences convenience right from booking to the moment they step out of the limo after an event.
When it comes to booking a Limo Rental in Boston, for instance, a great limo service should be able to provide online booking so that whoever needs their services can do so conveniently from any location.
And in the case of an airport pick-up, a great limo service should ensure that the client doesn't have to run up and down looking for their limo but they should be easy to find.
A great limo hire service should have high operating standards. The quality of the vehicles is usually a good indicator. A good Limo Rental in Boston should have a fleet of vehicles that are all consistently of high quality. A good limo hire service should not have vehicles that have exceeded a certain mileage, say 200,000 miles. This is because with vehicles that have been stretched, when mileage starts exceeding that level mechanical problems begin cropping up in greater frequency. So a good limo service that operates on high standards should be constantly renewing their fleet. No client should ever have to worry that they will get the old one that is always breaking down.
High operating standards also mean that the limos don't only look good on the outside but also on the inside. The inside of the limousine should be spotlessly clean with no stains or dirt. And besides looking spotlessly clean a good limo should also smell good. There should be no smells that betray what the previous clients were up to!
Regardless of the event, every client should have a great experience from the limo service that they hire. But we go beyond that and offer a five-star limo service. So go on and hire a limo from us today.

New Zealand: The Shannara Chronicles
White Island is New Zealand's most active volcano. It is here that the evil Dagda Mor broke through the magic barrier of the Forbidding.
White Island - Gateway between Earth and the Void
Whenever I stand at a film location, reality turns into fantasy. You play the relevant scenes in your head and imagine the characters popping up right in front of you. Not so on White Island. This place is different. Very different.
1. It's hard to reach.
From the outset, it's no easy feat to get out to the island which lies about 50 kilometres off the coast. Either, you brave the often rough seas on a boat, or else climb onboard a helicopter. I opted for the latter and hopped on a tour with Frontier Helicopters.
2. It's an active volcano.
It's a weird feeling, stepping onto a tiny active volcano in the middle of the ocean knowing that the island's alert level rating is constantly somewhere between 1 and 2 on a scale of 0 to 5.
3. It's smelly.
Before the start of the guided walking tour through the crater, we had to don gas masks for the sulphur clouds that can waft your way any time.
4. Its crater lake is of a very fickle nature.
The main geothermal feature on the island is the crater lake. The water is extremely acidic, sitting at a pH of 1, and its average temperature is 50 degrees celsius. The lake level varies constantly and is closely monitored by vulcanologists, as it can rise quickly.
5. It's a place of human tragedy.
In the early 20th century, the island's sulphur was mined and then shipped to the mainland.
Mining came to a brutal halt in September 1914 when a lahar killed all of the ten workers who were stationed on White Island.
6. The spirit of the evil Dagda Mor is still lingering.
It is easy to see why the makers of the Shannara Chronicles chose this location as the place where the evil Dagda Mor breaks through the curtain of the Forbidding into the world of men. While I was on the island, I constantly felt like some kind of dangerous entity was observing me from the depths of the volcano. Seriously guys, this place is spooky.
Why go?
Because this otherworldly place is a unique environment - unlike any other film location I have ever seen before. Being on the island also gives you an acute sense of the raw power of nature - and how thin the layer between us and the Void actually is.
Useful sources of information and additional tips for planning your visit:
I ventured out to the island with Frontier Helicopters the only licensed helicopter company that services White Island. These guys have a lot of experience - also in the area of aerial filming.
White Island can also be visited by boat. A good resource for initial research are the websites of Bay of Plenty Tourism and the city of Whakatane.

text: Two children were injured in the bombing (file photo) Military officials said in a statement on Friday they carried out the attack at 6:33am (0233 GMT) on a courtyard of a house in the southwest part of Falluja. A hospital in Falluja said it received five injured, including three children, after the bombing. US military officials said the attack was part of its attempt to strike at suspected hideouts of alleged al-Qaida operative, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. "Based on multiple sources of intelligence, the attack targeted 10 to 12 terrorists with known ties to the Abu Musab al-Zarqawi network of foreign terrorists," US Air Force Brigadier General Erv Lessel said in a statement. Counter-claim But residents in Falluja, exhausted from the US bombing campaign, gave a different version of the events. "We have nothing to do with the resistance or al-Zarqawi. These are pretexts used by the US military to terrorise the people in Falluja because US soldiers are unable to face the insurgents"Saddam Jasim,home owner Dr Kamal al-Ani, a doctor at the local hospital, said a US warplane fired a missile that landed in the garden of a house in the Jubail neighbourhood, in southern Falluja. Associated Press Television News footage showed a massive crater beside the house. "We were sleeping in the morning when a US missile hit our house," Saddam Jasim, the home's owner, said as he and his brother cleared debris. "We have nothing to do with the resistance or al-Zarqawi. These are pretexts used by the US military to terrorise the people in Falluja because US soldiers are unable to face the insurgents," he said. Family sleeping "The Americans are lying. Let them come and search us, not hit us with bombs," said an old woman sifting through the wreckage. "They hit us but we don't know why," she added. Reuters Television pictures showed bloodstains on the ground in the courtyard. Resistance fighters in Falluja had forced US troops to retreat Over the past month, the US occupying forces have carried out seven attacks against houses in south-western Falluja they claim have been used by Zarqawi or his supporters. About 40 people have been killed in the attacks. The latest bombing was carried out in coordination with Iraq's interim government, the statement said. Iraq's interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi is currently out of the country. US marines retreated from Falluja - a focal point of resistance to the US occupation - after besieging it for three weeks in April. Since then, the US military has been limited to using missiles attacks and bombings to hit the city. Roadside bomb In other developments, a roadside bomb in Samarra killed two US occupation soldiers and wounded another on Thursday. The US military said the blast killed a soldier on-the-spot while the other died later. "One soldier died in the attack, and the second died later of wounds from the attack," the US military statement said. The injured soldier's condition was stated to be stable. The latest deaths brought to 664 the number of US troops killed in action in Iraq since the start of the US-led invasion in March 2004. Samarra, 125km north of capital Baghdad, has been the scene of sporadic resistance attacks against the occupation forces. The fiercest attack was on 8 July when a car bomb explosion killed five US soldiers and four Iraqi guardsmen. SOURCE: Agencies

I miss your arms wrapped around me, my blanket on a winter's night. The warmth and comfort of steaming tea too hot to sip. I miss the way your hand fitted into mine.

Black Dog by Victoria Anderson
I once heard depression being described as a black dog, If that's true, anxiety is a white dog. Where one goes, the other follows in ever turning, ill fated harmony. For every effect of depression there is a complementary effect from anxiety. Depression is the big bad wolf that scares all your loved ones away, … Continue reading Black Dog by Victoria Anderson

The eerily sterile singing room, Shining under the white hanging lights, Shining silver table with brown leather restraints tied tight, Blood flowing and stopping at the wrists and ankles.

Hold the hand that's hard of heart, For they shall not weep if you depart. No tear-filled eyes just a steadfast face, But their heart is racing a pounding pace.

Having travelled many roads, Burdened by many loads. Rivers rapid at their crossing, Heaving waves with their heavy tossing. The weary desert sun, From the shade we stand and prepare to run.

A city crew was working Thursday to repair a broken water main that had shut off water to a block of Fourth Avenue near Spruce Street, a San Diego city official said.
A contractor working in the area broke the 12-inch water main about 9 a.m. in Bankers Hill, said Arian Collins, a spokesman for the city's Public Utilities Department. No flooding was reported, Collins said.
At least one business, the Spruce Medical Group, was without water, an employee said.
Repairs are expected to be completed around 4 p.m., Collins said.

A traveler stops his car at a small restaurant along a desolate highway; no one else is there, it must be past the time when all the locals stop for their morning coffee and donuts. The waitress, seeing how exhausted he is, comes over and asks, "What would you like to drink, coffee –regular or decaf, with sugar, cream; or tea – hot or iced; or soda – Coke, Pepsi, 7-up or root beer?"
Those choices at that out-of-the-way stop remind the weary, thirsty traveler that today's drinks are no longer simple decisions between water, coffee, or tea, and now each one comes in varieties of flavors. There are drinks to meet every person's preference, but everyone knows when it comes to quenching thirst, the best choice is just plain water.
And so, before the traveler announces his choice, the waitress automatically puts some ice in a glass, fills it with water and places it on the counter in front of him. As he drinks, the two begin to talk, which is what often happens, a quenched thirst invites conversation.
Push that scene back into today's Gospel setting and the counter becomes a well, the weary traveler becomes Jesus, and the waitress becomes a Samaritan woman at the time of noon… with two changes; Jesus must ask for a drink, and their conversation is filled with tension and false impressions.
The tension is Jesus is a Jew speaking to a woman (a taboo for a Jewish man who only speaks to his wife in the privacy of the home) and worse than that, the woman is a Samaritan, an arch-enemy of Jews and vice-a-versa.
Yet, Jesus asks her to draw Him a drink from the well, and, as can happen, He starts the conversation about well water versus spring water as He says,
'Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,
but those who drink of the water that I will give them
will never be thirsty.
The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water
gushing up to eternal life.'
Jesus knows, even as He drinks to satisfy His physical thirst, she has a much deeper thirst that the well's water cannot quench. It's obvious in her coming to draw at high noon to avoid the villagers who fill their jugs in the early morning. She wants to escape their shunning her, gossiping about her, twisting her life into a sordid, scandalous story, when it is really a story of one tragedy after another – that many preachers continue to turn into a sermon to pronounce judgment on those who are "that kind of woman!"
I must confess, in years past, that is how I labeled her as I misread her having had five husbands and not married to the one with whom she is living. (vs. 18) "Had five husbands" – that means she has been widowed FIVE times, and without a roof over her head, food on her table, clothing to cover her body, might she have had to let
herself be taken in at a price!
Is it as a servant or an arrangement the man will not legalize? We aren't told. (Reference: David Lose, Luther Seminary, St. Paul, MN) All we do know is that her plight has her drinking from the bitter cup of tragedy,
which only Jesus sees and knows all the wells in the world cannot quench the thirst of her mind and soul. She knows it too, as she begs,
"Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty,
or have to keep coming here to draw water."
And Jesus answers, "I am he, the one to whom you are speaking - "living water."
He is offering her the drink beyond all drinks. Her plea is carried forward in people, usually young adults, who come to our church office asking to do volunteer service to work off hours for a DUI arrest. My heart aches for them. Most are victims of drugs and alcohol taken to self-medicate mental agony or a personal crisis and ongoing failures in finding work.
It is obvious what they need is to drink from the spring Jesus freely offers, and the joy is to see how many find their way to that spring when our parking lot is filled on Friday nights as people come to the AA and ALANON meetings,and extend the story of the Samaritan woman who "left her water jar and went back to the city" where she shouted, "Come and see!" Her invitation to them becomes their own celebration, 'It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world.'
Jesus Christ, God coming in the garb of our humanness to be living water, not well water. Well water is still, in the language of the Gospel story, "well" also means "see" (to look into), water that serves as a mirror, mirroring the face –and the inner life that hides beyond that image, and so, even its coolness and whatever we now add to flavor it, giving us almost too many choices, only entertains and satisfies our taste buds for a moment.
There is the need to come again and again, and still have an unquenched, unmet inner thirst of mind and soul.
God in Christ offers Himself as "living water" like a spring whose flow doesn't sit and stagnate and become a breeding pool for whatever will be harmful to body, mind, and soul.
I think of His offer whenever I pass a small pond by the side of Swamp Pike across from Limerick Garden of Memories. In the summer it turns green and becomes a breeding site for mosquitoes and no one cleans it up.
That pool serves as a constant reminder to keep the spring of worship and teaching and preaching open for the flow of Jesus' life to turn us into people who become like those Samaritan villagers, confessing, 'we believe…we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world.'
For, remember, when the woman saw her reflection mirrored in the water in the well, she also saw Jesus standing beside her; the same Jesus who stands beside us today offering Himself to us and all the villagers of the world to savor the drink beyond all drinks, and confess with the poet: (H.W. Farringtom)
I know not how that Bethlehem's Babe could in the Godhead be;
I only know that Manger Child has brought God's life to me.
I know not how that Calvary's cross a world from sin could free;
I only know its matchless love has brought God's love to me.

Faculty unions have long known that boards of trustees are often filled with local business people who didn't take on the position out of the goodness of their heart but to do favors for their cronies--like tossing them contracts for buildings. At one school where I worked, the faculty had no job security or health insurance and made $20 an hour less than surrounding districts, the nursing and firefighting programs were forced to reuse and share what should have been one time use materials like bandages, BUT the school found the money to build a jumbotron sign by the freeway and remodel all the bathrooms on campus twice in the five years I was there. And at every campus I have ever worked at, construction goes on even as classes and whole programs of study are being cut.
The standard excuse that is made for why faculty look the other way is we do need the classroom space, and buildings are paid for with a separate source of money, bond measures. But a bond is a loan that must be repaid, and that money competes with the number of classes offered students and pay and benefits for faculty.
In community colleges and college in general, administrators like to call themselves "CEO's" and "CFO's" as if that makes them more competent and trustworthy. But they are public servants, serving taxpayers and students, not investors, unless they think contractors who make campaign donations to bond measures and donations to the endowment for construction projects that those donors then get the contracts for are their real bosses.
It is time faculty and the FACCC start looking at more radical solutions to fix the inverted priorities of trustees and administrators.
When we finally noticed Wall Street and banks were screwing not only the world economy but their own customers, some started to look to the European model for boards of directors, where part of the board is chosen by investors, and part are elected by the workers for the company. This is a good way to keep the companies from outsourcing all their jobs, becoming an Enron-like three card Monte game, or playing MBA bookkeeping tricks like laying off workers to make a company look profitable instead of improving the product or its marketing.
This is the solution we need for our colleges: more like a democratic co-op than a top down corporation.
Some would say "shared governance" with academic senates already does this, but administrators and trustees treat the academic senate's input as advisory at best on financial issues and can disregard it at will. And in fact, administrators try to undermine faculty leadership by converting supervisory positions from faculty elected by faculty to administrators hired by administrators.
The way to correct this is to put faculty and even other employees of the district on the board of trustees on an equal footing, half elected by the community, half by the employees. I would even give the student trustees votes. If someone didn't like that, then give the student trustee a tie-breaker vote.
We have to do something this radical or we will end up with campuses with a hundred shiny new buildings, an administrator for each one, but not a single instructor or student in them.
Contractor with big donations, questioned performance wins community college projects
The Los Angeles Community College District has awarded a series of multimillion-dollar contracts to a firm that district officials said needed to be babysat to meet construction standards and was doing an "absolutely awful job."
The firm, Sinanian Development Inc., lost a contract in July 2008 about a month after district officials had criticized its work performance at public meetings.
The same month, the company began contributing $75,000 to the district's construction bond measure, the first contributions made by the company to any district campaign.
Those donations made Sinanian one of the largest contributors to the successful bond measure among hundreds of contractors and others who donated. The Measure J campaign collected more than $1.5 million in contributions from June 2008 to January 2009.

Types of glaucoma eye drops
Most people with glaucoma are treated with eye drops. There are several types of eye drops for glaucoma but all of them reduce the pressure in your eye. Used regularly as prescribed, they help keep the pressure at the right level for you, which reduces the risk of loss of vision. If you need help on using eye drops for glaucoma, or to see the eye drop aids that can help, click on the links. Our leaflet Eye Drops and Dispensing Aids can be ordered free of charge and our helpline is always happy to help as well.
All types of glacuoma eye drops may cause mild irritation. However, you should continue to use the eye drops and report any problems you have to the eye specialist at your next clinic visit. If you cannot tolerate the irritation, you should arrange to see your GP or eye specialist as soon as possible.
Some eye drops may cause an allergy. If the eyes become red and puffy, stop the drops and go and see your GP or eye doctor as soon as possible. If the eye drops are making you feel unwell or breathless, stop the drops immediately and consult your GP as soon as possible.
The name on the bottle (generic and branded products)
There are various types of pressure-lowering eye drops used in the treatment of glaucoma. All the drugs used in them have standard pharmaceutical names, which are not trademarks. If your drops are only labelled with the names of the drug or drugs they contain, they are said to be 'generic'. However, many drops are better known by their trade name, invented by the company that developed the drug and took out a patent. Call our helpline: 01233 64 81 70 or email email@example.com if you have questions about your eye drops.
What's the difference between generic and branded products?
The active ingredient(s) are the same and at the same concentration. Other constituents may vary very slightly but the eye drops are essentially similar. The bottle and packaging are likely to be different, and might vary from one prescription to another.
Most people have no trouble with generic drops, but there can be some issues. For example, the design of the bottle might not fit your compliance aid or you may not be able to squeeze the new bottle if the plastic is too hard. Very rarely the slightly different formulation may not suit you. If you experience any difficulty you should discuss it with your eye specialist, GP or pharmacist. Alternatively, our Sightline operators may be able to help and advise.
Combination drops
If you need two different types of medication, using a combination drop can have advantages over using two drops separately. It saves both time and having to keep two different bottles. It also means that you deliver less preservative to the eye, which may reduce the possibility of developing an allergic reaction to the preservatives. However, with the exception of one eye drop, all contain timolol, which may not be suitable for some patients because of possible side effects.
Different categories of drops
The drugs used in eye drops to treat glaucoma fall into various categories, according to the way in which they work.
Alpha agonists (apraclondine and brimonidine)
The action is to reduce the production of fluid in the eye and to improve the flow of fluid out of the eye. They are usually used two or three times a day. Brimonidine is licensed for the long-term treatment of glaucoma but apraclonidine is for short-term use following, or to delay, laser treatment. Brimonidine is contra-indicated for children under the age of two years. Possible side effects include a dry mouth, tiredness and general weakness.
Occasionally a few people may develop a severe allergic reaction to these drops. If this happens, the eye becomes increasingly red, sore and sticky. Sometimes it can take several months for this to happen. If it does develop, you should consult your ophthalmologist or GP without delay.
Beta blockers (betaxolol, carteolol, levobunolol and timolol)
The action of these drops is to reduce the production of fluid in the eye. They are used once in the morning or twice a day, as advised by your ophthalmologist. They are not usually prescribed for anyone susceptible to chest or breathing problems. Possible side-effects include a slow pulse, dizziness, asthma and tiredness. In some people these drops may cause depression, loss of libido or impotence. However, most people have no problems with them.
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (brinzolamide and dorzolamide)
The action of these drugs is to reduce production of fluid in the eye. These drops are used two or three times a day on their own, or twice a day if with another drop.
Possible side-effects include redness of the eye, crusty eyelashes, fatigue and a bitter taste in the mouth.
Cholinergic agonist (pilocapine)
The action is to improve the flow of fluid out of the eye through its usual route and the drops are used three or four times a day.
Prostaglandin/prostamide analogues (bimatoprost, latanoprost, tafluprost and travoprost)
The action is to improve the flow of fluid out of the eye through a different way from the usual one. The drops are used once a day, usually at night. Possible side effects include a pink eye that usually improves over a period of time. The iris may darken in colour (more commonly in those with green or hazel eyes and less commonly in blue eyes). Eyelashes may grow longer and darker and, in a small percentage of patients, the skin around the orbit of the eye may darken.

Joyce on dairy: Don't have a cow, man
Another plunge in the price of milk powder overnight will be part of a $6 billion blow to the economy – showing the risk of putting all New Zealand's eggs in the dairy basket, Labour's Economic Development Spokesperson, David Clark.
"The Government's obsession with the dairy industry is beginning to backfire and it's hurting all New Zealanders. Things are looking increasingly dire for the sector.
"Dairy has a strong part to play in the New Zealand economy but with milk prices almost halving this year it shows we can't treat it as our only cash cow.
"The economy clearly needs rebalancing and Steven Joyce has demonstrated at every turn that he is not up for the job.
"Since the GFC ended three years ago, New Zealand has been trading in a relatively benign world trading environment, but instead of reshaping the economy, Steven Joyce has been content to stand by and watch the ongoing drift.
"Without dairy income and the Canterbury rebuild, New Zealand's outlook would be worse. The Government cannot continue to use these two sectors as a crutch.
"High interest rates, a problematic housing market, overexposure to China and an over-reliance on foreign capital, are other symptoms of the government's failure to diversify New Zealand's economy," David Clark says.

We all have certain objectives to migrate to Australia. Living here for couple of years our body starts to adapt the local nature, environments and the lifestyle. We might get busy at studies, at work or both and dominated by Aussie lifestyle, we possibly do not notice our bodies changing in shape and size. With this busy lifestyle with work, studies or both, we have very less time to think of our own body. The fast food chains are surrounding us and we always enjoy easy eating. Alcoholism and smoking are other crucial factors that may have become a part of our lifestyles. Years of living with the similar lifestyle, we might start putting on weight or catching up with diseases of longevity, also know as lifestyle diseases, like Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Obesity, Depression, etc. These diseases are so common in our community today that they are just treated as words. Not taken care on time, just a word can be life threatening.
Uncountable researches have shown that the aforementioned diseases are highly risky to the people with overweight, obesity and living a sedentary lifestyle. Even discovering one of the diseases after few GP visits; we still seek an exercise prescription along with medicine to take care of it. Keeping active is the key while proper exercising and a balanced diet may control these lifestyle epidemics. If we are suffering from one of these lifestyle diseases, chances are high that others follow too. They can follow our family as well. The way of our lifestyle really affects our growing kids. Thus, it is always the smartest way not to treat it just like a word but take it in action to control it.
As the doctors prescribe us for regular exercises, many of us start walking mildly to a brisk walking, which is a good start. Some of us join a gym and start playing with weights. If we are living with such specific conditions, we shouldn't waste our time on guessing the exercises or copying someone's training program. We might be risking ourselves if training unsupervised. It is always great idea to seek an exercise professional's help to determine the safest condition while exercising. The exercise professional will tailor our conditions and design an appropriate training for us. The professional can also collaborate with our Allied Health Professional to design the best-suited training program for the specific conditions.
We welcome such diseases with our lifestyles, which ruins our lifestyle in the long run. They scare us every time we see our favorite foods on the plate, they threat us every time we catch up with old friends and families for a party, they throw us a punch every time our kids demand the junk foods. Ultimately, these lifestyle diseases put us up in a misery. But we are not handicapped yet. We still can fight this lifestyle. Regular exercises and balanced diet is the key medicine for this lifestyle. We need to keep active and throw back a resistance to such lifestyle diseases. Yes, we should care about the lifestyle diseases and be cautious before it is too late.
Your fitness goals are always precious to you and you need to do whatever it takes to accomplish them. You need to be careful while reaching your goals where you shouldn't have any adverse effects of your trainings and diet. We all know time is money. So, depending much on guess works, trying this or that without knowing whether it will work or not may take you a longer than you think to reach your goals. You'll definitely be spending more money without getting a sign. If you have never consulted with a personal trainer before, it's time to do it now. Fitness has become so accessible now than ever. Save your time and money and get back in shape and embrace the fitness lifestyle rather than lifestyle diseases.

Two women top this month's calendar: Germaine Acogny with the U.S. premiere of "Mon élue noire (My Black Chosen One): Sacre #2" (Oct. 4-7) and Cynthia Oliver's world-premiere "Virago-Man Dem" (Oct. 25-28), both at BAM Fisher.
Known as "the mother of contemporary African dance," Acogny collaborates with choreographer and director of Ballet du Nord, Olivier Dubois as part of his "…ongoing exploration of all truths and myths surrounding the legendary premiere of Stravinsky's 'Rite of Spring.'" This "…reimagined solo dance by a mature and strong Black woman…enclosed in a rectangular box for the entirety of the dance, dives deep into her 70-plus years of experience, delivers a laser-focused performance, and renders expressive every tiny muscle movement. In the process, she questions Western (mis)conceptions of Africa and Black bodies," according to the release. Conversely, Oliver offers "…a nuanced study in the multiplicities of masculinity, within Caribbean and African-American cultures…" in "Virago-Man Dem." Based on the lives of its African-American and Afro-Caribbean performers Duane Cyrus, Jonathan Gonzalez, Niall Noel Jones and Ni'Ja Whitson, and shifting from their specific experiences to broader cultural perspectives, "Virago-Man Dem" also "…explores both the overt and unspoken expressions of Black masculinity through movement, spoken word." She asks, "How can a woman choreograph masculinity, without resorting to stereotypes?" notes the release. For more information on both performances, visit www.bam.org.
Sept. 30—At Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden, Kiran Rajagopalan's "Twin Rivers," "…a multidisciplinary work that explores the similarities between West African, West Indian and Indian spirituality" will be presented as part of Snug Harbor's monthly Performing Arts Salon Saturdays, according to the release. For more information, visit www.http://snug-harbor.org.
Sept. 28—DANCE NOW's 2017 Festival ENCORE!, a one-night-only event, will feature the 12 choreographers/companies selected by the DANCE NOW producers for having most successfully met the 2017 DANCE NOW Challenge: to create a clear and complete artistic statement in five minutes or less for the specifics of the stage at Joe's Pub.

A half-hour long pre-show discussion will take place each night. For more information, visit www.danspaceproject.org.
Sept. 30-Oct. 1—As part of the Crossing the Line Festival, the French Institute Alliance Française, with the Brooklyn Museum, Abrons Arts Center and Movement Research, Moroccan choreographer Bouchra Ouizguen will offer the New York premiere of her site-specific "Corbeaux (Crows)" at the Beaux-Arts Court of the Brooklyn Museum.

New Rochelle, NY – The ASA Avengers men's basketball team travelled to New Rochelle to play in the Monroe College Invitational. The Avengers first match in the invitational was on Thursday November 29th 2018 against College of Central Florida. After Central Florida defeated ASA Silver Storm earlier this month, the Avengers looks to avenge their Miami brothers.
The Avengers came out with an early run in the beginning of the first half, but had a difficult time capitalizing on that early lead. The Avengers had a hard time getting good ball movement, and at the end of the first half, the game was tied 31-31. In the second half, the Avengers was able to move the ball better, but after Avengers Center, #15 Miguel Simon, got called for a technical foul at 6:04 remaining in the second half up 65-56, the momentum seemed to shift to Central Florida.
With 2:33 left in the game, Central Florida captured the lead for the first time in the game 71-69. However, with a number of key defensive stops, the Avengers was able to tie the game at 74-74. The Avengers called a timeout at 28 seconds remaining in the game, and drew up a play for #5 Rob Terrero for a game winning 3 pointer at the 5 second mark. With Rob's game winner, the Avengers won the game 77-74.
"It was competitive, I felt like we were being very selfish for most of the game," said men's basketball head coach, Devonne Martinez. In the second half, it felt like a heavyweight bout. They're a powerhouse team in Florida. However, we never lost confidence in ourselves."
"Although we lost the rebound battle, we got key rebounds in the end of the game. We drew a play up that I felt my team could execute well, and they were able to walk away with a win."
With the win, the Avengers are currently 6-0 for the season and look to play in the second match of the invitational tomorrow, November 30th 2018, against Baltimore City Community College.

Cup Plant
Cup plant. Photo by Leslie J. Mehrhoff, University of Connecticut, Bugwood.org.
Additional Images
Common Name: Cup plant
Scientific Name: Silphium perfoliatum
Origin: Central United States and Canada
Cup plant is an herbaceous perennial plant in the sunflower family. Mature plants can reach 4-10 feet tall, with a stout central stem that is distinctly four-sided. Leaves are large, up to 8 inches long, and arranged oppositely along the stem. They join together at the base, forming a cup around the central stem that can hold water. Leaves are coarsely toothed and have a very rough, sandpaper-like texture. Plants bloom in early to mid-summer, producing numerous 2-5 inch yellow flowers. Most flowers have 20-35 rays, and a dark yellow center. Small achenes are produced in late-summer, releasing seeds that are spread by wind and water.
Cup plant prefers moist soil and full sun, commonly growing along the banks of rivers and streams, in wet meadows, open forested wetlands, and right-of-way drainage ditches.
Native to parts of the United States, planting of cup plant has often been encouraged in New England. As a result, ornamental plantings have escaped to natural areas where the plants large growth form and high seed production allow it to crowd out desirable native vegetation.
NYS Threat Ranking Assessment Score = High, 77.78
Do not plant cup plant. A relatively new invader to the region, known management strategies for cup plant are limited. Small plants may be removed by hand pulling or digging prior to seed set, taking care to remove the entire tap root. Glyphosate based herbicides may also be an effective tool to control this species.
