And not only does it become hard it also starts to disintegrate & crack which is most often the cause of failure in old tyres.

For a set of 5 Dunlop bead edge chevrons that will cost about Rs.1.5 lakh plus shipping and duty and when you fit them you'll see they were made in India

Patiala 0
Here are some more photos of the 1903 Cottereau 7hp Patiala 0 with its body removed. The Lucas magneto that someone fitted is visible. It is now fitted with a replica of the original breaker and trembler coil. This car must have done a lot of miles as everything apart from the cylinder bore was completely worn out. It still retains its original steering wheel, wooden wheels and body, which are all in good shape. Anything and everything original was retained.
It has 2 gear levers, one for changing gear and one for reverse, left foot clutch pedal, which beyond a certain point also applies a transmission brake. The right foot pedal applies the rear brakes, which can also be applied with the hand brake lever. At the steering wheel there are 3 levers; one for throttle, one for advance/retard and one for the valve lifter. Also you have a hand pump to deliver oil via a two-way tap, which will feed oil to the gearbox as well. That's 6 levers and the hand pump to be used correctly. There are more photos of this stage but that is probably enough.

Great list Ceylon, now, a photo of each car, a few are already on this forum. There are also many other photos of early cars that were in India, but are they relevant now? I think so, they may not have survived but they deserve recognition and preservation.
Right now there are photos of these survivors:
1. 1903 Cottereau 7hp
2. 1903? Humberette
3. 1905 Oldsmobile
4. 1903? Riley Forecar
5. 1905 Rover 6hp
6. 1906 Daimler (if it was in UP, I have a photo of the trans axle only)
7. 1906 Rover (unrestored, Karl? has a photo)
8. 1909 Triumph Trusty (Jacob Verghese) 1910 Triumph (Nitin Dossa) These are motorcycles, the first Triumph car was in 1923.
9. 1910 New Engine (Gondal)
10. 1912 Renault (rally photos are on the forum)
11. 1912 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost (Nizam's throne car) Chassis#2117
12. 1913/14 Wolseley (Formerly dated 1908)
13. 1913 Darracq (I have a photo of the bare chassis)
14. 1912/13ish Standard (There is a poor photo in the Standard thread. This white car was in many Delhi rallies in the late 80s-early nineties, Someone must have rally photos from these rallies.
15. 1914 Morris fire engine (Delhi railway museum)
16. 1914ish Fiat (Hyderabad)
17. 1918/19(?) Delauney Belleville 40/50 (ex-Darbhanga photos on the forum)
Can anyone help with the others? Over to Karl, DPK, Travencore and all the other sleuths here....

Secondly I have no photos nor have I seen the 1906/7 Rover, but it is still with a friend (erstwhile royal family) in unrestored condition.
Thirdly, along with the white Standard we should list the red car of similar vintage. That car is featured on the Standards in India thread, and is in Calcutta.

Here is the picture of the early Daimler transaxle somewhere in UP, there is not much left of the car, I think there is a chassis, I will be getting another photo of whats left soon. I know the large Daimlers were chain drive and poppet valve until 1908 then they switched to bevel final drive and sleeve valves until 1912 then they used worm drive. This I think is a small hp car and maybe between 1908 and 1912.
As you can see it is in beautiful condition...

Thank you Travencore.........
Here are two beautiful photographs of a 1913ish Darracq which, once restored by the late Rashid mechanic of Delhi, (engine reconditioned by Fine Auto Boring, Kotla Murbarakpur Market, New Delhi) completed several Delhi Statesman rallies in the late 90s. Someone please post better photos, the car was a open tourer and a maroon colour. It resides in a Delhi collection.
The body is in the background, (the car's body I mean.....)
Unfortunately, despite the massive evidence of camera flashes during the rallies in Delhi in the 80s and 90s at the time, there seems to be a total absence of available photographs of many cars that were present in these rallies. Can anyone help? Ask your friends and relatives? There must be rally photographs around. Those photographers used to take pictures of every car and try and sell them to you at the end of the rally each year. Some must still be around.

Surprisingly, this is the best photograph I could find of the Delhi Railway Museum's 1914 Morris Belsize fire engine (ex-Nizam of Hyderabad) from their web site despite decades of completing the Delhi rallies!!! I would have expected dozens of high resolution images all over the place. Can any one come up with a better one?

Also there are the Peshawar Merryweather fire engines in need of assistance as so many vehicles do.....

If you are planning to support the English football team in Nizhny Novgorod this summer, you are in for a treat. The city not only boasts a renovated stadium for sports enthusiasts but is also a unique historical and cultural centre of Russia. So what are the things to do in Nizhny Novgorod?
Nizhny Novgorod Stadium
Currently under construction, the Stadium was chosen to host four first round group matches, one round of 16 matches, and one quarter-final. Located in the area called Strelka, the design of the stadium was inspired by the natural beauty and serenity of the Volga river. The semi-transparent exterior lit up at night representing purity and modernisation at the same time. More than that, the stadium is an investment in young people: "We have spoken with foreign experts who visited the area," explained the governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast Valery Shantsev. "They told us the work was of the highest quality. This is very important because the stadium will remain as a fine legacy after the World Cup. There are many buildings beneath the stands, where it will be possible to organise numerous classes and open up a sports school."
Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin and Chkalov stairs
For those passionate about history, Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin is a special delight. Never conquered by an enemy, it sits above the rest of the city since the 16th century. Have a look around and stroll down the picturesque Chkalov stairs to have a picnic by the river or just lie in the sun enjoying the breeze on a hot summer day.
Museum of Old Equipment and Tools
The Museum of Old Equipment and Tools is a hidden gem of Nizhny Novgorod and is definitely worth a visit. The museum boasts a rich collection of old-fashioned bicycles, watches, measuring tools and musical instruments. The most fascinating thing about the museum is that the objects are interactive and you are allowed to touch history with your own hands!
Cable cars in Nizhny Novgorod
One of the unique experiences in Nizhny Novgorod is its cableway. Used as a public transport by the locals, it will take you to the town of Bor on the other side of the river.
Spend an afternoon enjoying the breath-taking view of the city and the Volga. Don't forget the camera!
Sport Bars
Football fans will get excited about how many sports bars the city has to offer. Spor-bar on Piskunova is the most popular place to watch football, have a pint and meet likeminded people. For those wishing to combine Russian cuisine with their favourite sport, 29/25 Corner Pub is the place to be. Want to combine football, dinner and shopping? Kill three birds with one stone at Champs!

What a difference a year makes. It is so hard to believe that we are going through this experience of coronavirus.
A very hard time for everyone. I find so much comfort in Gods word and focus on that daily.
"So do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
This is a mini watercolor I did to send to a friend that lost his father. He lost his mother just a few months before.
They had been married for 70 years! I pictured them together again.

I spent a wonderful week in Hendersonville, NC at Kanuga Watermedia Workshops with artist ,Iain Stewart.
We focused more on technique rather than finished paintings which was so important, especially since I haven't been painting for a while. The first painting was done after lots of exercises with washes and atmospheric techniques. This was from a photo that Iain provided...getting the large shapes in and then let your imagination go ...so this was right up my alley!
i enjoyed this class so much because Iain's process is from sketchbook to painting, taking a lot of time on that sketch and planning the painting.
The other studies below were wash exercises adding a light sketch and telling a story:) All from Iain's photos to get shapes
Workshops are for learning, soaking up the creative atmosphere and getting inspired to work harder at home and of course meeting new friends!
May 2018. Plein Air Day ! love it!

I find painting little landscapes during these winter months help boost my spirits! I miss painting outside ..my time to be surrounded by all that God has created.
These little miniature paintings are my way of giving Thanks!

I like to paint original cards to give to someone special.
I use watercolor paper and cut in standard size cards . I use card stock and envelopes to mount the painting on.
They can use on an easel to display or frame or give as a gift.

"Five Hives"
I recently went with my plein air group to a friend's farm. A lovely place with so many inspirational scenes!
I decided on the bee hives among the tall grass and wild flowers.
I was very pleased to sell this piece to the homeowners!
"This is my Father's world: he shines in all that's fair; in the rustling grass I hear him pass; He speaks to me everywhere.".....................from the hymn, This is My Father's World.

I recently had the privilege of attending a workshop in Stonington, ME with Frederick Graff.
This is my second workshop with this amazing artist and teacher!
He gave us exercises and assignments to help us with compostion , color harmony, perspective and so much more. It was challenging for me but exactly what I needed.
This is a study I did in lights and darks and trying to practice saving those wonderful whites!
We never grow unless we face new challenges. It is exciting to apply new skills and to
break old habits!

I spent a week in a workshop with Keiko Tanabe, in Hendersonville, NC at Kanuga .I took her class 2 years ago and enjoyed it so much that I wanted to learn from her again. We spent plein air time and studio time and was a great week of painting and meeting new friends.
Being outside and enjoying the quiet is such a gift!

"I have learned that what I have not drawn, I have never really seen, and that when I start drawing an ordinary thing, I realize how extraordinary it is, sheer miracle".......from the book, Your Artist's Brain by Carl Purcell.
It is too cold these days for sketching and painting outdoors so I am working on my travel journal. Below are three pages from our trip to Fish Creek, WI during October when the skies are so blue and the colors of the trees are amazing!

" I think that I shall never see, a poem as lovely as a tree"

I was inspired today looking out my back window on a grey, cloudy day and seeing the trees that were so full of leaves just a few days ago....now standing bare and still so beautiful!
October 13, 2015
This past week, I had the thrill of painting outside with a group of amazing artists at the Appalachian Paint Out in Weaverville ,NC. The weather was perfect and the Autumn colors were at their peak.
A wonderful week of being quiet and enjoying and being thankful for God's gifts of nature

Plein Air painting has been so much fun and has brought me a lot of joy! A time to enjoy nature and share with some great artists.
Still doing watercolor sketches and maybe some will become larger paintings but right now just enjoying filling my sketchbooks.
"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me". ....Phillipians 4:13
I am back in the studio and just completed this painting. . My son, for his birthday, wanted a painting of Aspens in the snow. I've never been to an area in the winter that has Aspens but I have been to Colorodo in the summer. They are beautiful trees growing straight and tall. I pictured how they would be in the snow casting long shadows. The painting is 10.5 x 28 on 300# paper.. I call it "Cory's Aspens" ..hope he likes it.

"Creativity takes courage" .......Henri Matisse
Spent a week in Boone, NC attending a workshop led by Brenda Swenson," Keeping a Watercolor Sketchbook".
It was at Cheap Joes Workshop and Outlet Store, an excellent facility and great staff.
Brenda is not only a wonderful artist but a caring and energetic teacher.
We focused on contour line drawing , light and shadows, composing our sketches and painting to bring our sketch to life!
Our last day we did a sketch collage of different sketches linked together to tell a story. I chose to illustrate my week at the workshop.
I enjoyed my week so much and felt a renewed excitement to keep my journals and continue my efforts in improving my painting.
After returning, I put what I learned to use by going to a local farm with "Tuesday Painters", a plein air group. I used my sketchbook and pen and light washes of watercolor.
The Best Day!
Janurary 23, 2015 Happy New Year!
"You are Braver than you know,
Stronger than you seem,
Smarter than you think, and
Loved more than you will ever know" .......A.A. Milne
Started the New Year shopping for art supplies. Found something new to me..liquid graphite.
It is great for sketches and especially value studies. All you do is use a little water and a brush.
I love new art stuff!

"Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working"........Pablo Picasso
"Pleasure must be found in study"...............Paul Cezanne
It has been a while since I added to the blog and it has been a while since I have produced any
new paintings! Life has been busy but I have used these months to study. I have worked on
what I have learned in workshops, watched videos from other artists, reviewed some old
art books and kept up with my journal and sketchbooks.
After returning from a wonderful three week trip to Europe, I felt like getting back to it.
I think the study time really did inspire me ! I realized too that I love just working
from my imagination and letting the watercolors do what they do!
I kept thinking of beautiful sunflowers that I saw in so many little flower shops in Germany so
I had to get their sunny faces in a painting!
"September Sunflowers" 11x 15
Hopefully, this is the beginning of some new work.

Draw from life.
30 minutes to one hour each day.
Draw freehand and check angles and proportions.
the Process is more important than end product."................Fred Graff
Another great workshop with Frederick Graff in Indiana. It was a four day workshop but
so much information to fill more than five days!
Another wonderful plein air and studio painter and such an amazing teacher.
We spent a lot of time on the basics of drawing and establishing a good sketch and value
The sketches are from my sketchbook while working outside at a local nursery.
My goal is to try to start doing a sketch and value study before I paint.
April, 2014
"The more I learn, the more I realize I don't know/"..........Albert Einstein
I just returned from a wonderful workshop with Keiko Tanabe in Hendersonville, NC.
She is an excellent plein air and studio painter and the week was filled with great
instruction and painting time.
This study was done from one of her photos with the lesson being on designing your compostion and
doing a value study with one color. This was a helpful exercise when we went outside to compose
a simple scene, sketch and do a value study first before starting to paint.
She solidified my belief in only using photographs as a reference to help remember a scene if you
are working back in the studio.

"Painting is just another way of keeping a diary" .......Pablo Picasso
"Life is a great journey
Make the most of each day.
Draw out the best of it.
Compose on the values of it . (if you can't make it sing,at least make it hum)
Title the moment . (to remind the left side of your brain why the right side liked it.)
Write down something unique on the facing page.
Let your art make each day memorable."
.............................Bud Albers, Knoxville, TN.
I started journaling in 2007. I got my first watercolor journal to really just practice my
painting but it soon became more to me. It became a collection of quotes, memories and
paintings. I am on my 8th one now along with sketchbooks to try to improve my drawing
The journals are made of rough rag cotton paper and are not really the best for painting, but
I have grown to love the feel of the paper and the texture it gives to the paintings.
I try to add to my journal daily. They have become like good friends that I miss if I don't see
them regularly!
Small Gifts Studio
I believe each of us has gifts to share no matter how small we think they are.
I hope by sharing my paintings will in a small way make a difference along the way.

Through each deployment, there are days of despair: nothing is going well, and you feel like you haven't accomplished anything, and it seems like deployment will never end.
Then there are the Blue Ribbon Days. The days where you accomplish something that was hard, or everything goes well, or you have the opportunity to sit in a clean house and read a book. (Ha!)
I've just finished two of those days. When I woke up yesterday morning, I had a messy house, a pile of unwrapped presents, and a 1000 mile drive ahead of me, with four squabbly children. Tonight, I'm safely at my in-laws with a car full of wrapped presents and back at home, things are relatively tidy. I can hardly believe it. Granted, there was a lot of yelling involved, but we did it. Chalk this one up as great big deployment success.
That is the upside of deployment - the opportunity to do stuff that seems impossible and occasionally succeed. I wasn't sure if I could do this trip without my husband, and I wouldn't have tried if I had any other options. But I didn't have other options, and now I've succeeded at doing something that I thought was too hard.
I know that lots of you have done things that seemed impossible but needed to be done. Today is celebration day - share your successes!

One of the things I deal with most often, is the lack of emotional "attachment" of distant dudes. Their girlfriends and wives are understandably concerned and looking for solutions; is it possible to learn how to make a man become emotionally attached to you, and not just sexually? If so, how?
Now, I've personally never had an issue with emotional attachment, but that also means that I know how that attachment comes to happen. I know what makes us "tick," so to speak, and what gets our emotions flowing. Believe it or not, we are not made of stone and we can open up emotionally, we just do it at our own pace.
Here are a few of the issues women bring to me:
Ouch, this one is a doozy. As a guy who's been cheated on, I can relate to his lack of trust in women. You may think that sure, what she did was terrible, but you are not her. And you'd be right. However, he is hurt and distrustful right now, and he is not going to risk his heart again by trusting you. What this means is that in order to get him to get attached to you (emotionally), you have to show him that he can trust you. Demonstrate your loyalty and that you would never hurt him.
Keep in mind that telling him over and over is not going to be enough. I'm sure not having his trust is frustrating, especially since you know that you would never do anything to hurt him, but you can't get mad, lose your patience, or get irritated that he just won't trust you.
If you snap at him because of it, you are taking steps backwards, instead of forward.
You can get him attached to you by exhibiting gentle behavior, being there for him, supporting him, and not giving him any reason to distrust you. Just be yourself – that is the most powerful thing you can do.
This one is so common, and so, so sad. This kind of toxic masculinity that doesn't allow men to show their emotions and express their feelings is to blame for a lot of the issues men face with themselves and in their relationships.
He's been taught that "real men" don't do this, and "real men" don't do that – usually, "this" and "that" meaning express emotions, share feelings, open up to someone else, etc. This idea that man = stone cold, unemotional robot has got to go, but can you undo all those years of programming?
Yes, you can. With patience, gentleness and sharing your own emotions. What you need to do is create a safe space for him; he needs to feel comfortable, and he needs to trust you before he will confide in you.
You have no idea how hard it is for a man to leave all those preconceived ideas behind and be able to express himself without feeling "girly," "like a sissy", or "feminine." This includes crying, saying "I love you," admitting when he is wrong, saying "I'm sorry," etc. Basically, everything his father has never been able to do.
Next we have the chronically single man. He has been alone his entire life, and he is just not used to having a lady around (ouch).
Sometimes, men like to stick to their man-caves, and getting out only for sex at your place, before retreating to his own space, is a very appealing arrangement. But one that is not fair to you, if what you are looking for is a relationship. And if he is upfront and honest with you and says that he doesn't want a relationship, then there's not much you can do.
However, if he has indicated that he wants this or at least, that he is open to it, then he needs to step up his game and you can help him with that.
The key, here, is not to rush him or impose. Ease him into this instead of just installing yourself in his life. If you try to take him from always being alone to suddenly having to deal with you non-stop, you're going to scare, annoy and irritate him. Instead of bringing him closer, you're going to drive him away.
At first, invite him to hang out at your place and maybe spend the night, allow him to become part of your routine, etc. Slowly, he'll get used to it and make room for you in his own life, and that includes opening up to you about his feelings.
This is one of the most hurtful feelings in the world. There is nothing worse than feeling like your partner doesn't really want you there or doesn't enjoy spending time with you. In your case, this may be because he doesn't want to show it or doesn't know how. But it may also be because he is unsure. I'm going to teach you how to make sure that he is becoming emotionally attached to you. The secret is simple: be happy.
Yep, it's as easy as that. A sad, broken, depressed woman is going to scare him, especially if you ask him to "fix" you. That is not a task for a guy who is not good with his emotions.
Instead, be the light of his life. Show him how fun and happy you are and how you are a positive influence in his life. People love other positive people, and they are more comfortable sharing things and opening up to them. Negativity brings everyone down, but your happiness can heighten his spirit and endear him. Laugh, make jokes and be playful around him; without even realizing it, he will grow more and more attached to you and the positive energy you radiate.
With men, it's as simple as making us feel good. Good feelings = attachment.

Clinicians Develop New Diuretic Protocol for Patients Living with Advanced Heart Failure
A group of clinicians led the development of a novel diuretic protocol that will allow allied-health professionals to administer treatment orally or intravenously to homebound patients suffering from advanced heart failure.
"Treatment (diuresis) for fluid overload common in congestive heart failure is often given orally but may need to be administered intravenously when patient's symptoms are severe or difficult to treat," says Dr. Leah Steinberg, an Assistant Professor at the Department of Family and Community Medicine (DFCM) and a physician among the Heartfull Collaborative Team at Mount Sinai.
"We developed a protocol to support clinicians in the use of diuretics for homebound patients living with advanced heart failure."
In congestive heart failure, a condition where the heart muscle stops functioning properly, patients retain excess fluids causing shortness of breath and swelling in their legs and abdomen. Medication to help the kidneys excrete this fluid is a mainstay of the management of congestive heart failure. Family physicians and palliative care physicians are not always trained in the home-based delivery of intravenous diuretics for patients living with heart failure because it is usually provided in a hospital setting.
The HeartFull team developed a stepwise diuretic protocol and guideline for the assessment, management and monitoring of patients whose goals are aligned with comfort-oriented care. The protocol is initiated when patients experience a worsening of heart failure symptoms.
With members of the Anna Prosserman Heart Function Clinic and The Temmy Latner Centre for Palliative Care, Dr. Steinberg has been working on developing a collaborative care program for patients with advanced heart failure. The collaboration allows palliative care and primary care clinicians to collaborate with cardiology to manage patients with end-stage heart failure at home.
Roughly 50 percent of patients living with heart failure will die within five years of diagnosis. Patients make frequent hospital visits for symptom management. Dr. Steinberg and the HeartFull Collaborative believe that homebound patients should be able to receive treatment should their goals be consistent with receiving palliative care at home.
She and the HeartFull Collaborative team have also published a clinical review that describes several elements of palliative care management of patients with end-stage heart failure. The elements include: setting up a collaborative team for patients, monitoring to detect exacerbations early, assessing and managing symptoms, continuing heart failure medications and having a plan to manage exacerbations.
"All five elements are important and while they are not new, using them in a collaborative fashion may improve our ability to keep patients at home. I hope we can continue to expose new DFCM residents to these ways to manage care among advanced heart failure patients."
The diuresis protocol was created by Dr. Susannah Mak and Dr. Jennifer Arvinitis, a faculty member at DFCM.

On Monday 28 April, nine 4‐ball teams enjoyed a brilliant day of sport at Surbiton Golf Club to raise funds for Starlight at the first ever Starlight Grand Prix Golf Day. The event, which was sponsored by Peter Earle Wealth Management, was attended by guests including Sky F1's David Croft and current F1™ driver Max Chilton.
After play, the teams enjoyed a reception, dinner, Q&A with David Croft and a charity auction, which was introduced by young Elliott Casey. Last year, Elliott was one of the children to benefit from Starlight's annual Monaco trip and getting to meet his heroes, drivers Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, was a much‐needed escape from the gruelling treatments he has been undergoing for a brain tumour.
The day raised an incredible £19,210 for Starlight. Huge thanks go to Debbie Wall, the organiser of the event, to Peter Earle for sponsoring the event, to David Croft, Max Chilton and Elliott Casey and, of course, to all the guests for their generous support.

A recent BBC documentary showed former England international footballer Alan Shearer investigating the link between football and dementia. Research has found a potential link between head trauma and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) that may be triggered by continuous knocks to the head – something footballers do by regularly heading the ball during training sessions particularly. Shearer remembers he would often head the ball around 100 times a day during these sessions. Footballs have changed over the years, but many older players will remember the heavy leather balls that would bring tears to their eyes if a blow by the same was received. When wet, they were heavier by as much as 200 grams.
DR Willie Stewart, a Scottish neuropathologist first identified CTE in Jeff Astle, another British footballer's brain, during a post-mortem examination and the University College London (UCL) also found CTE in four out of six players' brains they looked at. The programme talks about how three of the nine surviving members of England's 1966 World Cup team are now living with dementia and who would have played with those original leather balls.
Boston University has also been studying this concept after many American Football players were found to have been suffering with the disease and their families donated the brains of their sons for further research. It took hundreds of autopsies before the National Football League in America accepted that there was a devastating link to be researched further.
CTE can only be diagnosed post-mortem and this fact has led to players like Alan Shearer wanting to donate their brains for further research. The Drake Foundation has now announced an extra Million pounds to help the UCL with this.

After getting a free haircut and a shower, Rome's tramps will soon be able to sleep in a proper bed near the Vatican, as by plans laid out by Pope Francis.
The pontiff intends to open a homeless shelter in the offices of a disused travel agency in the central via dei Penitenzieri, a stones throw from St Peter's Basilica, Vatican sources told Ansa news agency.
The structure just outside the Vatican walls is to house about 30 beds and remain open from dusk to the morning.
It is the latest of a series of charitable initiatives in favour of Rome's homeless that Pope Francis has put in place since taking office, following up on his pledge to deliver "a poor Church for the poor".
He had earlier famously treated several vagrants with front-row seats at a Vatican concert and paid for a round trip to Turin for 120 of them to see the shroud Roman Catholics believe was used to cover Christ's corpse.
In March, another 150 were invited to visit the Sistine Chapel, while a month earlier the pontiff opened a free shower and a barber service under the grand colonnades of St Peter's Square.
Francis's generosity has not gone down well with everyone, as some local residents have lamented that the Holy See has become a magnet for the homeless, with a growing number of them sleeping rough in the surrounding areas. The dormitory is expected to partially address the issue.

(Gray News) – Roger Waters is calling on Maroon 5, Travis Scott and Big Boi to "take a knee" in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick during their Super Bowl halftime performance.
The Pink Floyd alum and activist made the plea in social media posts showing Waters and his band taking a knee at a concert in 2017 in support of Kaepernick.
"My colleagues Maroon 5, Travis Scott and Big Boi are performing during the halftime show at the Super-bowl this coming Sunday. I call upon them to "take a knee" on stage in full sight," Waters said.
"I call upon them to do it in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick, to do it for every child shot to death on these mean streets, to do it for every bereaved mother and father and brother and sister."
Waters' post includes a link to a petition, asking Maroon 5 to drop out of the Super Bowl halftime show.
The former 49ers quarterback, who knelt during the national anthem in 2016 to protest police violence and misconduct, was made a free agent and subsequently not picked up by any team.
He's currently involved in a lawsuit against the NFL, alleging the teams colluded to keep him off the field.
Maroon 5 came under immediate backlash after agreeing to headline the halftime show. Many artists felt the band should have turned the offer down.
Possibly to avoid critics or uncomfortable questions, the NFL canceled this week's traditional Super Bowl halftime show press conference.
Typically, the artists performing would talk about their preparations and tease what's to come. But the NFL released a statement on Tuesday, saying "the artists will let their shows do the talking."
Also this week, Maroon 5, joined by the NFL and Interscope Records, announced a $500,000 donation to Big Brothers and Sisters of America ahead of the show. The move matches Scott's donation to Dreams Corp, a social justice nonprofit, two weeks ago.
As the championship game approaches, Waters said the NFL really has nothing to celebrate.
"This is not a victory for the NFL, it is a defeat, you have denied football fans everywhere the pleasure and the honor of watching one of the greatest quarterbacks who ever played the game, and you have shown your true colors," he said on Facebook.
"You can sit in your boardrooms and huff and puff on your cigars in your glass boxes, but your action is a poke in the eye for everything that is decent in America."

Availability Targets Makes Life Easier.
You'll be more disposed to to man to your New Year's resolutions if you determine realistic and achievable goals, an trained suggests in Dec 2013. Too many hoi polloi try to do too much too fast and set unattainable goals, which barely sets them up for failure, according to Luis Manzo, government director of student wellness and assessment at St John's University in New York pharmacy. "There is no brains in making a distinguishability to spoor up every morning at 5 AM and junket five miles if you know you are not a morning man and you have never run more than a mile in your life.
Such a goal will just vitiate you when you are unable to stick to it," he said in a university newsflash release. "Rather, play to your strengths, better goals that you can do and that work for you," Manzo suggested. "Maybe a more hard-nosed goal is event after work for 20 minutes two days during the week and once on the weekend for 25 minutes vigrx.top.

Every day is a gamble for the residents of the small Israeli city of Sderot . The city sits on Israel's border with the Gaza Strip and nearly every day Palestinian militants target Sderot with small rockets called Qassams. The rocket attacks so far have killed nine civilians in Sderot, including one person Wednesday. As VOA's Jim Teeple reports from Sderot, residents say their city will not survive if nothing is done to stop the attacks.
Nitza Dahan's house needs work these days. Last month a Qassam rocket fired from the Gaza Strip struck her house just as Nitza and her four children were sitting down to dinner.
Nitza has been through this before. Eight months ago another Qassam rocket fired from Gaza struck her house. Nitza says no one likes being a target, "I feel like we are being persecuted this is the second time it has happened. The government doesn't do anything. I want them to do something. My kids don't want to come here and there is nothing I can do."
If Nitza and her family leave Sderot they will join about 7,000 others who have fled the city. The people who live in this house have left for good. Sderot's population has dropped from 24,000 to about 17,000 in the past few years.
Now Sderot residents like these who have set up a tent in Tel Aviv, are protesting their situation in cities all over Israel.
Sderot Mayor Eli Moyal is so desperate he says he would be willing to talk with Hamas to stop the rocket attacks. He says something must be done, "The government has two options; peace or war. But they are not doing peace or war, this is the problem. That is why we are stuck seven years in this situation. If they have any political solution please bring it, but if they do not please fight. But they cannot do nothing. This is the problem with Sderot."
So far the Israeli government has ruled out a large-scale military invasion of nearby Gaza to protect Sderot -- fearing high casualties on both sides. The government has installed an early-warning system that gives people about 20 seconds to find shelter but nobody feels safe here.
This is about the only place many residents feel safe: Shimon Buskila's Shufan Hair Salon. Shimon has even created a new hair style for Sderot -- the Qassam cut.
"My business has not been damaged because my business is to make people feel better. So when people are not feeling good they come to me and I make them feel better because I give them a good cut," Buskila said.
But many other businesses in Sderot have been hurt and people - especially young people are leaving the city. Those who remain come here for their essentials, but they do not stay long. They quickly buy what they need and then head home -- to wait for the next rocket attack.

Top Master's in Construction Technology in the USCreate Account
Master's in Construction Technology in the US
The master's degree is designed to be a postgraduate degree that is earned after a lower level degree program, typically the bachelor's degree. Deciding to earn a master's degree usually comes in place of beginning a career. This path means increasing your professional skills and gaining advanced qualifications to enter a career in a higher position than would be otherwise possible. Studying for a Master's in Construction Technology is an excellent opportunity for international study. The United States in particular is highly appealing for international students to earn their master's degree in engineering.
What is a Master's in Construction Technology in the US?
There are two types of Master's in Construction Technology: a Master of Science and a Master of Engineering. All things considered, the difference between these two degrees is rather minor. Both are intended to qualify students to work in leadership in the construction field. The biggest difference is the type of study. The Master's of Science in Construction Technology is primarily research based and include much independent study. Alternatively, the Master's of Engineering in Construction Technology is more traditional, incorporating lectures and seminars. Additionally, the Master's of Science more commonly requires a thesis project, although it is fairly common requirement for the Master's of Engineering. Also unique to the Master's of Engineering is a few tandem courses, such as business fundamentals or leadership. Master's programs include:
- Both theoretical and practical engineering courses
- Extensive examination
- Exploratory courses
Earning a master's degree most commonly takes two years to complete. Some programs are designed to be three or four years in length. Before being able to enroll, you must complete an undergraduate degree in a related field. It is most common for interested students to earn a Bachelor's in Engineering.
In addition to whatever courses are required, it is wise to specialise while studying to better prepare for your career. If you research which area of construction you are interested in, you can take specific courses to become an expert in a certain field. Construction technology is already a specialised area of engineering, but it is possible and beneficial to specialise even more.
What Are the Benefits of Getting a Master's in Construction Technology in the US?
As the master's degree is intended to allow for more career options, most of the benefits that graduates enjoy are related to their eventual profession. With a master's degree, it is possible qualify for highly advanced positions that would not be possible to attain with just an undergraduate degree. There are some positions that master's degree holders can enter directly that would otherwise have to be advanced to over a long career. Ultimately, earning a Master's in Construction Technology streamlines the process of reaching high level engineering work, saving you time and energy.
Secondly, earning a Master's in Construction Technology allows you to enroll in even more advanced degree programs. The master's degree is commonly considered the terminal degree in the field of engineering, but some careers do require a doctoral degree instead, which can only be earned after the master's. Other benefits of earning a master's are:
- Increased potential salary
- Excellent international study opportunity
- Increased career options
- Opportunity for specialisation
- Choose from top engineering schools, such as Lawrence Technological University or Texas A&M University
What Kind of Career Can You Expect with a Master's in Construction Technology in the US?
There are seven areas of construction engineering that you should be familiar with. Each requires their own expert, so it is important to decide how you intend to specialise. These categories are:
- Residential
- Industrial
- Commercial
- Environmental
- Agricultural
- Institutional
- Heavy civil
The construction manager that is chosen for a project must have experience and knowledge with the kind of construction project. Their responsibilities are very similar regardless of the category. Construction managers typically work directly with the client to develop blueprints and other plans to bring the construction into reality. They also manage the construction crew and ensure that the work is being done properly and efficiently. Other related positions include design engineer, project coordinator, quantity surveyor, and technology supervisor. The responsibilities of these professionals may be similar to the construction manager, or may incorporate other duties. The distinctions in this field are often vague, meaning it is even more important that you are familiar with construction expectations to be prepared when entering a position.

How do I know what Hairstyle best suits my face shape and body shape?
When designing a hairstyle, the goal is to create the illusion of an oval shaped face (the most perfect). The hair style we choose should fill in where needed and take away where not. Profile is another key factor when choosing a hairstyle. There should be balance from side and front view. Body shape works the same, our goal is to create the X shape nd to also consider the size of head in referance to the size of the body and height.

Now don't worry I am still single and haven't got any amazing miracle story to tell you about how some magical man or woman has come riding in on their white horse and swept me off my feet, because well that just wouldn't happen, least of all to me. Boohoo sob sob, sympathy train has left the building, no I was initially given a suggestion to write a piece on how finding a new relationship can be truly life-changing. The kind of relationship that as I said at the start, sweeps you off your feet, transports you to a happier zone, an almost tranquil place.
In order to stay true to myself, however, I could not write such a piece, well because I just do not believe in such a thing. Yes, I do believe that some relationships do impact our lives and truly do make them life-changing, some for the greater good and some for the not so good. That doesn't mean to say that you have to go trawling through endless dating sites just to find that special relationship. Who said it had to be a partner, why can't it be a friend or companion? You never know sometimes those are the best kinds of relationships that do often blossom into more.
That being said I know all too well that this time of year does lead us lonely soles wandering how we landed in this position, wishing there was a way to not be so alone for Christmas and New Year. Seeing all the happy couples and families come together, what with all the Christmas parties and events we all have to attend. It's no wonder we start heading to many sites such as guernsey dating site, dating sites in guernsey and senior dating sites.
If that's what you wish to do then do it, don't let anyone stop you, but remember one thing. IT's something I have come to acknowledge more and more over the past few weeks, with weirder and weirder dreams, it's that we are OKAY on our own. We do not need to justify ourselves by conforming to society and having someone else there.
Why not get on that white horse and sweep yourself off your own damn feet, why not be the hero of your own story? Trust me the stronger you are, the brighter you make your own fairytale ending, the more you will shine brightly. The happier you will be and honestly, that will attract more people than you will ever know.
Since I have started to acknowledge this fact, I have noticed so many people recognise me for me, realise my worth. My real strengths. You stop doubting why you are alone, why you are single and embrace it. There is no rhyme or reason, people and the human race these days are just damaged and corrupt, the only way to change that is from within.

Price comparison site PriceGrabber.co.uk has releases its list of the top products of 2008 – and it is Sony products that have stolen the top two spots.
PriceGrabber has constructed the list by looking at the most popular products – based on revenue – from 1 January this year.
Most popular was Sony's KDL-40V3000 40" LCD TV followed by the Sony RDR-HXD870B Black DVD Recorder.
Mario & Sonic
Third place goes to the immensely popular Asus Eee PC – and bizarrely fourth place goes to Sega game Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.
It's an interesting list as much for its omissions as its inclusions – with no consoles on the list, only one television and no Apple products.

Ecophon is joining forces with four other Saint-Gobain companies to support Mvelaphanda Primary School in an effort to improve the learning environment for disadvantaged children through the Adopt-A-School Foundation. The school is located in Thembisa, an informal settlement in the greater Johannesburg area.
Lauren Kruger from Ecophon South Africa explains why the project was chosen:
"The majority of the children in this school are what we call sensitive listeners. They come from many different South African cultures, as well as immigrant families who have moved from neighbouring countries to look for work in South Africa. The language of instruction is English, though most, if not all of the children are not native English language speakers so they are expected to learn in a second or third language.
"The school has grown a lot and desperately needed new wash room facilities which the other Saint-Gobain companies are currently building. When we were approached about the project, we felt that it made sense to use our knowledge and systems to improve the learning environment for these sensitive listeners.
"The chosen classroom houses 40-50 kids at a time. Combine that with hard surfaces everywhere; brick walls, concrete floors and flush plaster ceiling; and you've practically got a noise factory as opposed to a knowledge temple."
Demolition has begun and the installation of the Ecophon solution will take place over the coming weeks. It will include a high performance Class A ceiling to lower sound levels and wall panels to improve speech clarity. In addition, better lighting will be installed.
"I can't wait to see their reactions as they come back after the refurb!" says Lauren.

Ottawa's premiere female fronted alternative punk band recently released their second album, titled "The Ragdoll Diaries",
a hard hitting follow up to the popular debut 'Inside The Dollhouse'.
Doll, a four-piece based out of Ottawa, Canada, formed in 2005 provides the missing link between punk and rock, a sound that's been lacking in mainstream music for quite some time. In a time of oversaturation of commercially designed and developed music to subdue the listener into a false sense of marketability, Doll's fresh and honest songs cut through like a hot knife through butter, snapping the listener out of their daze and onboard their trip of truth and beautifully crafted angst through sound and vision. Inspired by the great bands such as Sonic Youth, Hole and L7, Paramore, Flyleaf and Die Mannequin, Doll is on its way to becoming a musical force to be reckoned with, inspiring, creative, and honest.
The Ragdoll Diaries is undoubtedly Doll's best works to date, working alongside producer Jason Jaknunas, Christina Kasper's lyrics and vocal performance provides a call to all, to stand and believe in yourself, take action, to never be silent. The intensity of the drum and bass, emphasized by the intricate guitar work and atmospheric solo'ing rounds out an album that has it all, creative musicianship, honest lyrics, and a truth that's been missing in music for some time. Supported by the fearlessly rocking threesome of Pete Kasper, Nick 'Chopz' Richer and newcomer to the Doll family Alex Vance, this is one band that you don't want to miss getting in on the party early and staying for days while you zone out the beautifully crafted yet fiercely hard hitting tunes.
2012 saw great advances for the band, completing several successful Eastern Canadian tours, and breaking into the US market on their first ever tour through America, their live show is evolving and becoming one of the highlights of Canadian music. With strong performances at year's past festivals such as the Ottawa Bluesfest, IndieWeek Canada, NXNE, and D-Tox Rockfest, a strong review in many major publications such as Outburn and Revolver Magazines, sharing the stage with Protest The Hero, Lacuna Coil, Three Days Grace and tons more, to selling out over 1000 copies of both albums and 500 vinyls of the Ragdoll Diaries, video plays across MuchMusic and MusiquePlus, and ever increasing radio plays, the band has embraced DIY to its highest degree continually improving its social media reach and brand awareness.
Just recently launching their newest music video for the song "Youth of Today, Hope for Tomorrow", being their 3rd video to date. Doll was also nominated for Best Rock album of 2009 by the Ottawa Xpress, Best Hard Rock band of 2010 and of 2011 by the Ottawa Xpress and Best Album in 2012 receiving honourable mention status.
Doll was selected by the Canadian Independent Recording Artists' Association and is now being mentored by Canadian Electronica band Austra. You can expect big things from Doll in the near future! 2013 will prove to be a game changer not only for the band, but the Canadian musical landscape, with plans to return to the US and to branch out even further into Canadian markets.

Reel Asian is thrilled to co-present two films at the 2016 Hot Docs Festival in the month of May! In MY LAND, director Jian Fan presents the tension caused by the Chinese government when residents are evicted out of their homes and the Chen's family refuses to leave. We're also proud to screen THE APOLOGY, produced by Reel Asian's co-founder Anita Lee, that follows 3 brave grandmothers seeking gender parity and a formal apology from a reluctant Japan government as they revisit their past as sex slaves during WWII.
The 2016 Hot Docs Festival will run from April 28 – May 8, 2016. Find out more HERE!

SYNOPSIS: "Comfort women" was the term used to describe the women and girls across Asia—more than 200,000 of them—who were forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese Imperial Army during the Second World War. A handful of these women, now known as "grandmas" and all in their 80s and 90s, are demanding an official apology from a reluctant Japanese government. The film focuses on three: Grandma Adela from the Philippines, whose greatest regret is that she never told her husband about her past before he died; Grandma Cao from China, who rose above her tragedy to adopt and single-handedly raise a daughter; and the indomitable Grandma Gil from South Korea, who resolutely and tirelessly travels Asia to tell her story and end war crimes against women. Heart-wrenching and inspirational, beautiful and transformative, the journey of these grandmothers is a profound testament to the human spirit's demand for justice. Trailer.

SYNOPSIS: Chen Jun is a migrant farmer who moves his family from Hebei province to Beijing in search of a better life. The big city's rampant expansion arrives on the Chen family's doorstep when they're suddenly evicted from their leased land to make way for a real estate project. The neighbours leave en masse under landlord intimidation but the Chens refuse to budge. As non-residents, they have nowhere to go and nothing to lose so they stand up to their evictors. Using a video camera as both a weapon and a witness, they document years of underhanded tactics and acts of sabotage meant to send them packing. Defiantly, they continue to grow their family and cultivate their vegetables. This seemingly small act holds serious power, since all around them nothing gets done or built. The Chens' resistance and hardship is an astonishing lesson to their children, and to us all. Trailer.

'Shake a Tin' for the cats of Cat Haven at our annual Street Appeal on Friday 12 February.
14 January 2016
Do you know anyone who works in the City who can help shake a tin outside their office during a lunch break? It would be amazing to get the Cat Haven Appeal out there to thousands of people working or shopping on a Friday.
We really need as many helpers as possible to help at our Street Appeal – all you need to do is pick a busy street location or shopping centre in your suburb or perhaps in your workplace, Uni or school, and ask for donations in a tin for us for as little or long a time as you like. You may only wish to do an hour or two but it all helps.
Please contact us to organise your donation tin if you can help and please spread the word. Thank you!!

Why Cam Nash Can't Be Duke Nukem
George Orwell once compared the act of artistic creation to vomiting up a demon. He was too refined to say it exactly like that, but the implication is still clear: It just ain't easy to bring something into being. That goes for books, paintings, movies, babies, and video games. One of the biggest creative stumbling blocks artists deal with today is the always-furious Sea of Copyright. If someone has a legal claim on what you're trying to do or say,...read more

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Sun Tzu
Windows XP is no more. The 30th of June signified the last day of the general availability of Windows XP, Microsoft's most successful operating system to date.
In all fairness, it had its turn in the limelight. Dragged kicking and screaming prematurely from beta in 2001 in response, perhaps, to the newly released Mac OS X; itself an operating system with the stability of a newborn Bambi on ice.
XP has had perhaps the longest run of any popular operating system. A decent seven years! It saw off OS X 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and only now, at the maturing of OS X 10.5 Leopard does XP lay down its hat.
Seeing off the nay-sayers, the staunchest Windows 2000 supporters, the 98 holdouts, the raft of driver and compatibility problems that greeted it, it became the gamer's and business users OS of choice alike, and by default simply because there was no competition.
XP was so strong that it became in the last year, Vista's number one rival, even as Vista's, Jabbaesque form heaved and laboured under its own mass, to lift itself out of the morass of sluggish performance and insane user interface reworkings.
There was XP, standing strong, as if saying, "See. I'm here for you, when you need me! And you do need me!"
It was in this capacity that XP found itself the "new" people's champion: The symbol of resistance against a cruel, uncaring, over-marketed world.
in one swift and brilliant move, It turned itself from the unwelcome yet nevertheless tolerated partner to a symbol of the underdog fighting against the new colossus: A staunch ally, unappreciated yet ever there, forcing the industry to look before they leapt onto the new OS from hell. Vista, an OS so heavy that it dragged all but the newest machines whimpering to their knees, crippling performance and destroying productivity like a heavy dose of gout.
Vista was the new enemy that turned expensive computers into gaudy playthings with all the class of Paris Hilton stepping out of a stretch limo hand-in-hand with Britney.
XP, we'd hoped you'd last until the promise of Windows 7, but it looks like too much for Microsoft's ego to take and so they put you down, sweet XP, like the owner of an old dog who's grown bored of the obsequious pawing and unwanted licking of palm.
May you Rest in Peace.

The kite then ended up on Rocketboom today and Make Magazine's blog.
I asked Tim about all the exposure.
He emailed me back with the info that he is sending people when they contact him:
Thanks for the interest in our products.very cool.
So you are wondering about the cost of the cursor kite.
Well, in a way, so are we.... you see, to us the WindFire Cursor is a work of art with a strong performance potential. Currently, there are only two in the world. Thus, to us it is priceless. It is an asymmetrical Quad-line kite. This means it is highly controllable but also rather difficult to fly - let alone assemble. This is not your every day kite and not the kind of kite you can just buy and take out to fly. WindFire Designs does make a number of high end kites that we sell direct to consumers, http://www.windfiredesigns.com/buywindfiredesigns.html and we also have a product that is available to mass market the Air-YO http://www.air-yo.com
For now at least, the WindFire Cursor is our magic trick. The kite is not for sale -- yet.
What can be done?
We are available for hire to perform with them (and all of our kites) at anything you can dream up. We specialize in kite performance and we can fly in all kinds of unlikely places. http://www.windfiredesigns.com/Why-we-fly.html

FIRST ON THE BLOG: KARE KARES about its viewers (see what we did there?) and to show how much they KARE, they will add another local newscast and it will be before NBC Primetime.
Starting Monday September 14th, 2015, KARE 11 will be adding a half-hour weeknight newscast at 6:30 p.m. with KARE 11 News at 6:30. In other words, the 6:00 p.m. newscast will be expanded to an hour with two separate newscast during the hour. The newscast will replace Entertainment TONIGHT, which moves to 4:30 p.m., which replaces Jeopardy! which will air a repeat at 3:00, followed by a new one at 3:30 p.m.
Long-time KARE 11 veterans Julie Nelson and Randy Shaver (formerly the sports director) are expected to anchor the new 6:30 p.m. newscast, with KARE 11 WeatherNOW from AMS/Sealed Chief Meteorologist Belinda Jensen and Sports Director Eric Perkins. This will effectively compete against KSTP 5 (ABC)'s 5 Eyewitness News at 6:30 for local news in that timeslot.
Want more local news in the Twin Cities? You got it. Now its KARE 11 vs. KSTP 5. Let's see who wins this battle. And again, KARE KARES about their viewers.

Our house is located in Menallen Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania. However, before 1800, Adams County was part of York County.
This is the survey for the land which was originally tied to our house. Joseph Lawrence requested it in 1786, but people usually "squatted" on land for a number of years before actually purchasing it and it is possible that his father, John Lawrence, may have built the house.
The reason why I think John Lawrence may have built the place is that while he never owned the land officially, he is listed on the piece of property in a 1766 survey for someone else's property owned by Ephraim Lawrence, whom was the brother of Joseph.
I believe that John originally owned both plots of land, and that when he died some time in the 1770s, the land was divided up amongst the two brothers. Unfortunately, the York County historical society did not have a will on record for John Lawrence to determine if this is true. Ephraim never purchased his plot of land, but it appears on this map I photographed whilte at the Adams County Historical Society to have been purchased in 1822 by someone who built our neighbor's house.

Weight:115 lbs (52 kg)
View Julie Meadows's Media:
A corn-fed, grinsome lady from the farmlands of the mid-west, Julie Meadows is as fresh a slice of porn Americana as you're likely to find in erotic films. In other words, she may look like the sweet-faced girl next door, but she's as nasty as they come, and has a voracious appetite for any and all forms of screen sex. She's not a bad actress either, bringing tenderness to her characterizations that contrasts nicely with her sexual histrionics. Equally at home either in gonzo or big-budget, couples' productions, any scene featuring this gorgeous blonde is certain to be worth a look.

Remember we said yesterday that it was going to be balmy... and that summer was here, and there was no way that was going to change?
Well... we were wrong.
The tail end of Storm Jonas (pictured above) which has wreaked havoc on the US east coast, has come to Ireland – and it's determined to give us one hell of a hiding.
According to Met Éireann, who have issued a Status Yellow weather warning nationwide, this is what's on the cards for Dublin today:
Wet and very windy this morning. Strong to gale force southerly winds will peak during the morning with damaging gusts in exposed coastal areas and a risk of coastal flooding during high tide. Widespread and persistent rain.
If you normally cycle to work, and if you have the option of leaving the bike at home today, we'd seriously recommend it – a combination of gusty conditions and low visibility will make it quite dangerous out there.
Needless to say, if you must cycle, take it handy and leave yourself lots of time.
Thankfully the prospects are somewhat better for later in the day:
During the afternoon drier conditions will develop with scattered showers and some bright or sunny spells. Winds will veer westerly with the clearance and moderate. Highest temperatures of 11 to 13 degrees.
Stay safe, friends.

See Steve Carrell As A Toy in 'Welcome to Marwen' Trailer
Zemeckis is back with another unbelievable true story.
Mark Hogencamp (Steve Carrel) was brutally attacked by young Nazi sympathizers who left him bruised, both physically and mentally. Mark was an artist who couldn't even write his name with all of the brain damage. To deal with the Post-traumatic stress of the situation, he made a crew of dolls that would tell his story. Hogie would be tortured by Nazis, and the women of Marwen (Diane Kruger, Leslie Mann, Gwendoline Christie, Janelle Monáe, Eiza González, and more) would make sure he's safe always.
Things get difficult when Mark has to go to the trial of those that hurt him, but luckily he has his art to help him through it.
'Welcome to Marween' releases November 21, 2018.
