لماذا سورية بحاجة الى حكومة عباقرة تفكر خارج الصندوق
abdalrahman, HR Consultant, Syria
What Syria really needs is a government of geniuses;
What Syria really needs is a government of geniuses;
''People thinking outside of the box and willing to get out of the shell''.
It's just as if the country went sterile on capable men!
Today's Syria needs a new, capable governmental team. Let's not wait for anything! Let's not wait for the National Conference or even the parliamentary elections to form a new government. Syria needs a rescue squad headed by an independent character that is agreed upon by Syrians. Someone armed with expertise on the levels of decision making as well as negotiating issues, a leader of a harmonious, trustworthy crew with good reputation and an upright repertoire. And Syria with its loyal sons and daughters, current residents and expatriates, is capable of producing a new governmental team not chosen by ''the comrades'' – one can count at least five names to preside a government that can deliver Syria from hell-.
Our current government, prime minister and ministers, is a government of employees with ministerial positions. They can't –due to lack of authority as well as personal potency- transform the status queue and rescue the country's collapsing economy. And with all due respect to them as people of good reputation, they are merely a group of employees appointed by Al-Baath party and its partners at The National Progressive Front on the basis of loyalty to the party and good personal relations but in reality, they don't represent anybody but themselves.
We need a government that can 'attack' problems and manage crises, a government willing to adopt the right standards when choosing its employees, a government that can take the right decision quickly and without hesitation, a government able to resurrect the economy and employ the natural and human resources. This new government should include people who represent the public not the wealthy 1% and economy monopolists. It should also give the chance to the Syrian opposition to take part in holding responsibility. It's time for the people to run the country.

Quantified impacts of IFRS 9: initial findings
At the end of February 2018, all the major European banks published information on the impact of the implementation of the new standard IFRS 9.
IFRS 9 introduces numerous changes (classification, impairment, hedging, etc.). Their impacts at the transition date vary widely from one bank to another. They are negative in most cases, but for some banks are virtually nil or even positive. The indicators used are also variable: though the impact on the CET1 ratio is a firm common indicator, the level of further detail reported varies significantly from one institution to another.
To take stock and uncover the initial trends, we chose to conduct this study on the 30 first European banks publishing their accounts under IFRS. This deliberately brief study provides a rapid overview of the estimated impacts of IFRS 9 and the approach to reporting adopted by the banks.
Sample of European banks
leading STOXX Europe 600 banks preparing their consolidated accounts under IFRS
Key indicators
of the banks in the sample reported the impact of IFRS 9 on their CET1 ratio, either quantitatively, or by indicating that the expected impact was not significant
Analysis of IFRS 9 impacts by phase
- Phase 1 of the standard introduced new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial instruments;
- Phase 2 of the standard introduced new impairment principles;
- Phase 3 of the standard introduced new rules for hedge accounting.

Kenny Chesney is, quite simply, one of the hottest artists in country music right now, with a best-selling album, No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems, and a red-hot national tour underway. To our surprise and delight, he recently found time to answer 20 questions submitted by country music fans to CMT.com. He talked about the video for "Young," about his friendship with Tim McGraw, about his middle name and about his ideal woman. Read on.
1. Which of your videos was the most fun to make?
"Young" because I got to include my band for the first time — and they're such a part of what we do with this music. Plus, those kids were cast to look like me and my two best friends growing up — David Farmer and Tim Holt — who still work with me today.
2. In the video for "Young," is that you in any of the nostalgia clips? (Like the guy playing the drums?)
The video footage is not me growing up, but the photos at the beginning of the video are actual shots of me and my family when I was "Young." And it's not quite what you asked, but people are always coming up and wanting to know — YES, that IS my varsity letter jacket from high school. It still fits, which is pretty cool and amazing.
3. Did you like school when you were growing up? What was your favorite subject?
I loved school … especially because it meant being with friends and playing sports. I liked class and all, but really, when you're a young guy in East Tennessee, it's all about football and sports.
4. Growing up in East Tennessee, what was one of your favorite things to do on snow days?
Sledding and snowball fights with my friends, then sitting down to a big bowl of snowcream.
5. Kenny always has such an energetic stage show. What does he do (other than basketball) to stay in shape for his rigorous performances?
I work out one to two hours each day with a trainer, and I maintain a very healthy, very strict diet.
6. What is the purpose of the earpiece that you use when performing? Does your stage crew tell you things during the show?
Sometimes, yeah, the crew says things into my earpiece to make me laugh. But really that thing in my ear is a "monitor," so I can hear myself and the band. Because I move around so much, having my "ears" means I get to have consistent sound.
7. Will you ever be able to reinstate the backstage passes at your shows?
I don't know. My management decided to eliminate the backstage passes when the demand for passes became greater than the number of people we could meet without just rushing them through.
8. What's the worst part about being on the road so much? What's the best part?
I don't get to see my family and friends as often as I'd like, and there's no sense of having a home life. But, on the other hand, I get to see the world and play my music for the best fans in the whole world. When I hit that stage, it's a pretty amazing feeling!
9. Where did you meet Tim McGraw?
Tim and I moved to town around the same time. We had pretty similar backgrounds and taste in music, so we became friends long before we had hit records. It's not a very 'wow' kind of story … but sometimes you just meet someone and it's like you've always known them.
10. Because you live next to Tim McGraw, do you go over to his house for barbecues and play with his kids? Do they call you Uncle Kenny?
Yes, I love going over and hanging out with my friends. Sometimes they'll make soup and call me over for dinner, though nothing beats playing with Gracie and Maggie. I can't wait until Audrey is old enough to play with us too.
11. If you could record a duet with anyone, dead or alive, whom would you choose and what kind of song would you like it to be?
Probably, it would be Keith Whitley or Conway Twitty — and something that would be very THEM. You know, very traditional if it was Keith, but more steamy if it was Conway. Either way, though, you know the song would be very soulful.
12. Being the hottest bachelor in country music, what kind of qualities do you look for in a woman?
She needs to be smart and funny and love the ocean — and it would be good if, while she understood that I have to be gone a lot for work, she didn't really care about what I did for a living. I'm more than a single or a video, though sometimes when that's all people see, it's hard to think of me as something more.
13. What is the significance of the white shell necklace you always have on? I love it, and just wondered if it was from someone special.
In the islands, where I like to go to get away, everyone wears them. So, for me, it's taking a little piece of this place I love with me everywhere I go.
14. Who has been the most influential person in your life, outside of your music career, and why?
Definitely my grandparents — my whole family, really — because they gave me a very real sense of what matters. The values they gave me extend so far beyond the music business — and when you have a hard day (and I had plenty getting here, believe me), they sustain you. When I moved to Nashville, my grandfather was like, "surround yourself with good people and stay away from the bottle." For them, it's always simple like that, but just right on. "Treat people the way you want to be treated." That says it all!
15. If I were a genie and could grant you one wish, what would you wish for?
Longer days, so I could do everything I dream about and am not rushing from obligation to obligation.
16. What are your favorite movies and TV shows?
17. Which CDs would I find in your CD player right now?
Keith Whitley, Jackson Browne, Aerosmith and Gary Allan.
18. When it's time for a break, where is your favorite vacation destination?
I head to the Caribbean. It's the perfect place to be quiet enough to start hearing what's inside you.
19. Do you have a tattoo? Where is it?
No tattoos. I hope the Country Weekly cover didn't confuse people … because that's a temporary tattoo that we sell at our shows! I think my mind changes enough, I wouldn't want to put something on my body that would be there forever.
20. I know you don't like to tell anyone your middle name, but will you please tell me? I promise I won't tell anyone.
Sorry, my lips are sealed.

Today's men's fashion world is getting more and more colorful. The modern man doesn't shy away anymore from wearing strong, very saturated colors.
However, many men don't know how actually wear a strong color. Pulling off colors like orange, pink, purple, yellow and indigo is something a lot of men want to do, but don't know how.
This guide is a practical approach to wearing a strong color. Our tips are not unbreakable rules, but they are guidelines you can follow for great style results.
To exemplify this, we have chosen a Naked & Famous shirt, that, not only features a deep red, but also a dragonfly print. Cut from a Japanese fabric, this shirt features a slim-fit design, a narrow, button-down collar, single button cuffs and a rounded hem. Its kimono-inspired design makes it just the right shirt for men who want to take their style to a different level, but feel that they are still beginners in the field.
There are several approaches when it comes to wearing such a great shirt.
Here are three ways in which you can wear this very stylish, yet very casual, practical and versatile shirt:
With solid neutrals
A very safe and easy-to-do way to wear a strong color, regardless of whether it is red, blue, yellow, pink or any other color is to wear it with solid neutrals. In fashion, neutrals are a series of colors that can be worn with any other color. Under the neutrals category fall the following colors: black, white, beige, tan, gray, ivory, khaki and dark blue. If you wear one strong color and keep all your other colors neutrals, you can be sure that you will look great.
Of course, you can wear a bold piece with a neutral pattern as well, but we will discuss prints and patterns in one of the next paragraphs.
To create a first outfit with this sport shirt, we used a pair of Jack Spade khaki pants, a black leather jacket from Theory and a Quoddy slipper. This casual outfit would work very well if you are traveling, running errands, or going shopping.
With a complementary color
A very daring and impactful way to wear a strong color is to pair it with pieces in its complementary color. Complementary colors are colors that life on opposite sides of the color spectrum. For example, yellow and blue, orange and green, etc. If you are creating a complementary color scheme, what you need to know is that the items you are pairing don't need to be of the exact shade. For example, a dark red shirt such as the Naked & Famous shirt can be paired with a pair of light blue pants.
To create an outfit based on complementary colors, we have used the same shirt, but we paired it with a pair of blue Levi's Made & Crafted pair of pants which are almost teal in shade, a pair of neutral shoes from SWIMS and, for a subtle effect, we added a pair of socks by Happy Socks that feature a red-blue stripe pattern.
This outfit is very casual and can be worn for a walk in the park, a college class or studying at the library.
With one or more prints or patterns
Prints are not something that is easy to pull off, especially if you are wearing more than one print. Basically, if you want to wear one print, our recommendation is that the print should include one of the colors you are already wearing or a color that goes with it (a color located close to it on the color spectrum, such as red to orange or a complementary color, such as blue to yellow).
If you want to wear more than one print, things get a little more complicated. Basically, the rule is that the print or pattern you wish to wear should be of different sizes. Therefore, if you are wearing thick stripes for example, you can pair them with small dots, small stripes or small paisley – anything, but it should be small. If you add a third print or pattern, you should make sure that it is in a different size than the two prints you are wearing.
Moreover, when you are mixing prints, you need to make sure that the colors go together well. Remember, they don't need to match, but they need to go together.
Furthermore, don't forget that a pattern is a symmetrically repeated design, a print is an image that features a clear composition and a texture is a pattern that can not only be seen, but felt as well. Always make sure you study the pieces you want to wear and see of what types of lines and color areas they are composed of.
To exemplify, we have composed a third outfit that is made from the Naked & Famous shirt, which features a medium-size print, a Shipley & Halmos jacket that features a large print made from blue and neutrals and a pair of Scotch & Soda pair of pants that features a small blue and gray print. To top it all off, we have added a pair of Paul Smith socks that feature a very delicate neutral stripe print and a pair of blue Grenson wingtip shoes that feature a nice leather embroidery. And that gentlemen, is how you pull prints off! As you can see, wearing more than two prints or patterns doesn't necessarily need to be outrageous.
This outfit remains casual and can be worn when you are going out to eat something or when you are having a great evening in a club or at a festival.
And there you have it! One bold shirt paired with different pieces results in a variety of outfits that can fit different settings, different tastes and different men.
Bold colors are a great fashion element you can benefit from and which, as you can see, adapt to your taste, to any setting and to your own approach to fashion.

Friday before the Rams – and season's endPosted by on December 30, 2016 – 3:27 pm
One of the friends and family of Frostee Rucker that will be at the game Sunday in Los Angeles will be his first football coach. Rucker was 6 at the time. He later ended up playing at USC, and so will be back at the Los Angeles Coliseum playing for the first time since college.
"It's almost like full circle in a sense," Rucker said.
The season will come to an end as well. Can't say it's full circle, since at the beginning expectations were so high and here we are, on the final day of practice and it's not even January. That certainly wasn't the plan back in August. The mood was good this week, I'm sure in part because of the win in Seattle. They'd like to finish off with the revenge win against the Rams. "You build your team to win in the division," coach Bruce Arians said, and, despite all the ups and downs, if the Cardinals win Sunday, they will have gone 4-1-1 in the NFC West.
That's a record that Arians admitted, had he known before the season, he'd have assumed they would have won the division.
— Here's another stat (oh, those sometimes misleading stats) that also would've made you think they could've (would've?) won the division: There are only three teams in the NFL ranked in the top 10 in offense and defense. The Cardinals (eighth in offense, third in defense) are one of them. The others? Playoff-bound New England and Pittsburgh.
— The Cardinals have not lost an NFC West road game since 2014. They've won five straight heading into this one.
— It's amazing to think the Cardinals will be starting their fifth different right guard Sunday. It's gone Evan Mathis to Earl Watford to John Wetzel to Earl Watford to Taylor Boggs and now to Evan Boehm.
— For those wondering, I had a chance to ask Carson Palmer about the late slant pass to J.J. Nelson. It indeed was an audible.
— The crazy stat of the week: Running back David Johnson is averaging 10.7 yards per catch (77 receptions). Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is averaging 9.6 yards per catch (102 receptions). Yes, Fitz has more catches, but you'd never think a running back would be ahead of a receiver.
— Speaking of Fitzgerald, Arians said he would not lobby the veteran wide receiver to return in 2017. "It's up to Larry," Arians said of Fitzgerald playing another year. "I've got my fingers crossed. Hopefully he will come back but that's strictly up to him."
— Arians does have other business with Fitz, though. On Chandler Catanzaro's game-winning field goal last week, Fitz celebrated with the coach a bit too hard. The jumping bear hug hurt Arians' right shoulder, and he admitted Friday it still hurts. What did the MRI show? "Haven't taken one yet," Arians said with a chuckle. "I don't even want to know."
There could still be a price to pay, though.
"If I can't play golf this year (in the offseason), I'll be driving one of those real nice cars," Arians added with a grin.
— The in-flux offensive line, whatever its shortcomings, has allowed only two sacks total the last two games.
"Proud of them," offensive coordinator Harold Goodwin said. "That's what I told them Wednesday. Just proud of them."
— Palmer doesn't like sitting out Wednesday practice but he never really fought it either. The Cardinals put a lot of time and effort into the sports science of workload, hits and repetitions — led by assistant strength coach Anthony Piroli — to judge such things. Palmer's Wednesday work is part of that science.
"There's reason for it," Palmer said. "There's data behind it. It's amazing the stuff that they keep track of and the information that you get back from that. It makes sense. I see why they do it, and like I said, they're paid professionals. That's their job and that's their role, and you don't have a choice but to listen."
— This Rod Tidwell "Football Life" trailer is pretty good, NFL Network. I'm going to stick with my Tidwell effort, however.
— Congrats to Johnson for being named MVP by the Arizona chapter of the PWFA. Same for Kevin Minter for taking the "Good Guy" award for his dealing with the media. Truth be told, there are a bunch of guys that could win the Good Guy award — Calais Campbell, Patrick Peterson, Tony Jefferson, D.J. Humphries, Tyrann Mathieu and A.Q. Shipley immediately come to mind, and that's not a total list — but the truth is, we have a very good locker room when it comes to this part of the job.
— Another season (almost) done. That's 17 in the books for me. Where does the time go?

text: As I've mentioned before, this school feels like a family. Each year there are breakfasts and potluck dinners where the parents contribute food. Parents are also encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities and field trips as well. For instance, one parent opened up her laboratory at a local university so students could visit and see her research firsthand. However, the school has no formal parent council because the school is so small. Personally, I liked this--because I had little time to be involved in the everyday operations of the school. I knew that if something was needed from me, the principal or teachers would reach out to me for assistance. I never felt pressured to complete tasks for the school. Knowing my child was in good hands was all that I cared about, and I appreciated that little was asked of my time as I'm a busy professional.

Though the shop and post office in our village makes a manful effort to supply the needs of the village and surrounding environs, (homemade plum jam filled victoria sponge anyone?) there was a distinct lack of oranges and lemons to be had there today. I came away with a cucumber, some local lettuce and a very small lemon – but that wasn't going to help me make elderflower cordial. So, having finished work, I took to the saddle of the Brompton and headed for The supermarket. I decided that I couldn't face the Wingfield straight so I went via Tellisford and Farleigh Hungerford. It was very hilly indeed, but on a Brompton it doesn't matter, a leisurely pace is all that can be managed so there is no need to sweat, strive and strain up hills. I crested the tallest hill at the point where I used a photograph I took to make the Highway Cycling Group poster:
Many people have asked how I did the painting of the landscape in the background, but I assure everyone that it is real. The only things that weren't there in the original photo are the words and the clouds which I added from another photo.
Easing over this hill saw me take a fast descent via some sharp corners and a final climb to Farleigh Hungerford. I took a right onto the main road and passed the castle. Then on into Trowbridge – only to discover that the Tesco Express had neither oranges nor lemons. So it was down the cycle path to Bradford-on-Avon and the Sainsbury's there. Soon I was departing the supermarket with a riding bag full to the brim with fruit and goodies, but that also meant an enormous amount of extra weight. Never mind, it sped me up on the downhills and gave me a work out on the uphills. I took the same route back again – stopping now and again to pick more elderflowers for the cordial. At the bend by the bridges at Farleigh Hungerford I stopped to read the rules of the Farleigh Swimming Club. This group own a field next to the river in a spot ideal for a bit of wild swimming – but it's strictly members only.
I liked the texture underneath their information sign where the new poster had been stuck over the old, which was probably stuck over an even older poster.
The number to call for membership having been noted, I started the ascent of the hill by the castle. Oh this was a bad one, I could have done with the drop nose Wilderness Trail Bike saddle on my Mountain bike, the Brooks on the Brompton, although being a fine and beautiful saddle, does not give you much scope for sliding forward. I have also found that standing up a Brompton only really works if you're going downhill. I struggled up and turned left into the village itself, another hill but out of the traffic and the heat it was fine. I carried on along the road, up and down up and down, broken up with sporadic forays into the hedge to pick elderflowers. My arms, slick with sweat, were now dusted with yellow pollen. The air itself was thick with it. As I sped down the final descent I passed a tandem going up the hill, a man and woman gave hearty if breathless hellos as we passed each other.
Back at the house – all goods were unloaded and once the kids were in bed, stage one of the cordial making commenced. Now the flowers are soaking overnight in the zesty water – the smell is delicious.
Today's ride was gloriously warm and bathed in sunshine. The sights and smells were that of an English summer, lazy looking horses in fields, heavy pollen, fresh-mown grass and wildflowers gracing the verge. The sounds were the ticking of a sturmey archer hub, the distant drone of lawnmowers, the rich and lyrical singing of blackbirds in the hedge and the joyous shouts of children splashing in the river.
It was a perfect ride, and I dedicate it to the memory of Noah.

Do you love pie? I do. Obviously.
You know what I love even more? SLAB pie. They're like pie bars, but it makes more. More pie = win.
Apple slab pie? Totally #pieforthewin.
I have a love/hate relationship with the comments on this blog. I love getting them, reading them, and often responding to them. I don't love when I get mean and nasty comments. I mean, I'm so controversial here on Crazy for Crust. I talk all about politics and religion and all and stir up provoking convos about reproductive rights.
Thankfully, most of the comments I get here are wonderful, sweet, and make me smile. Often they make me realize that I have a far and wide reach and there is not, in fact, only three creepy dudes in a basement creating all those pins. (Really, I actually feel that way sometimes.)
This happened on this past Tuesday evening when I got a comment from JP on my M&M Sugar Cookies. Working on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, he (she?) told me how much they loved my recipes and that they made them all the time, to feed all the people working on the rig. I almost cried, when I read it, no joke.
{In my defense…I was still a little jet-lagged from Miami.}
So, thanks JP, for reading this blog and for using my recipes. And for, you know, gathering all the oil so I can drive my car and stuff. 🙂
What does this slab apple pie have to do with comments? Well, it would be perfect for feeding a crowd on an oil rig…or just a bunch of your family members at a party.
It feeds a lot of people, in other words.
I really, really love apple pie. In fact, it's why I started this blog. I loved it so much that I re-did the photos because the others sucked. Then I made them into mini pies last Thanksgiving.
Two Thanksgivings ago I made Blueberry Slab Pie because I was going to a potluck and omg slicing a pie at a potluck makes me want to shoot myself and cry all at the same time. The mess. The gooey. The plates and forks. !!!
Shortly after I turned my beloved apple pie into a slab, but I never photographed or posted it. *gasp*
Now I have. And it's perfect for any time of year – especially Memorial Day and 4th of July.
There's nothing more american than apple pie, after all.
{Please don't go there, mmkay?}
The crust is a double batch of my all-butter pie crust, and is pressed into a jelly roll pan. (A rimmed 10×15 baking pan, one that you'd use for a cake roll.) You roll it as usual, before chilling, into a large rectangle and press it into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. This can be done up to a day before (just wrap it well in plastic before chilling).
As usual, I cook my apples before adding them to the crust. I hate a chewy, springy apple in a pie. They need to be soft (but not applesauce). I cook them for just a few minutes in a little water, then drain well and add them to the crust. You top the apples with cinnamon and sugar, of course.
The top is a crumble. Is there any other topping to a pie? As much of a crust girl as I am, I'm a crumble fan through and through. Butter, sugar, oats, and flour, all mixed up and sprinkled over the apples. Perfection.
Once baked, this apple slab pie slices easily into bars or slices. Make them as little (or BIG) as you like them. Smaller bars can be eaten with your hands. Larger ones? Serve them on a plate with ice cream. They also freeze well!
Slab pies are my favorite way to eat apple pie, hands down. I hope you love it too!
Apple Slab Pie
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter diced and cold
- 2-3 tablespoons ice water
Filling & Crumble:
- 6 medium Granny Smith Apples
- 3/4 cup sugar divided
- 1/2 cup 1 stick butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Make your crust: Pulse flour and salt in a food processor for a second. Add butter and pulse until butter has been worked through the flour. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together (I used 3 tablespoons water). Carefully roll out dough on a lightly floured nonstick surface (like a silicone mat). Roll into a large rectangle. Spray a jelly roll pan (10x15") with cooking spray. Press into the bottoms and up the sides of your pan. Chill until apples are ready, or cover with plastic wrap and chill for as long as overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Peel, core, and slice apples to a small dice. Place one inch of water in the bottom of a pot. Add apples and cook, stirring occasionally, approximately 3-5 minutes after water boils. You want the apples semi-opaque but not mushy.
- Using a hand mixer, mix remaining topping ingredients (butter, salt, flour, oats, and 1/2 cup sugar) in a large bowl. You may need to use your hands to break up the large bits of butter.
- Once apples are cooked, drain them well. Spread apples evenly over the crust and then sprinkle the apples with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Sprinkle the crumble over the top of the apples and press to compact.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes until topping begins to brown. Cool before cutting. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or wrap slices with plastic and seal in a ziploc bag, and freeze for up to one month.

"Anything that you should have done, but didn't, ties you to your past."
Is your mental and emotional clutter getting in the way of a fulfilling life? It's time to clean out the "need-to's," "have-to's," and "ought-to's," from your past. When you have regrets it's tough to move forward and grow.
Put the past in the past. Return anything you borrowed. Make apologies where needed. Get your bills up to date. Send the card or gift you forgot to send. Make the phone call you need to make.
Taking care of these things cleans your mental slate and eliminates any regrets or resentments you may harbor.
Now, take a deep breath; look ahead. Both your conscience, and your future vision, is clear.

Jonathan W. Lunn, Jr., age 32, of
Bridgewater, died suddenly Saturday, April 4, 2015. Jonathan was born in Taunton
and raised in Cape Cod, the loving son of Jonathan W. Lunn, Sr. of Cape Cod, and
Frances D. (Zadrozny) Robichaud and her husband Chris of Fall River.
A 2002 graduate of Lower Cape Regional
Technical High School, Jonathan went on to study business at Cape Cod Community
College. Shortly after graduation, Jonathan enlisted in the United States Marine
Corps Reserve. He served one tour in Iraq, receiving several service medals.
Jonathan had been a self-employed
auto mechanic, and worked at Complete Auto in Hyannis for more than 15 years.
As an accomplished mechanic, Jonathan took 1st place in a motor rebuilding competition
and went on to compete in several others. His greatest joys in life were his family,
cars, and being a great mentor. Jonathan will be remembered as funny, loving, and
giving but most importantly as being an incredible dad.
In addition to his parents, Jonathan
is survived by his loving fiancé Rachel Eldridge of Bridgewater; his daughters,
Alawna-Lei Lunn of Tennessee, and Angela and Aleicia Lunn of Bridgewater; his siblings,
Jamie A. Weldin of Fall River, Lawrence C. Adams and his wife Briana of North Carolina, Kelsey M. Lunn
of Fitchburg, Brent Robichaud, and Franchesca S. Rolon of Fall River. Jonathan also leaves a nephew
Anthony Lunn and three nieces Nissia Weldin-Lunn, Gloria Weldin, and Aleaya Weldin all
of Fall River. He was predeceased by his nephew Jeremiah Weldin.
Jonathan was the grandson of Frances
D. Denoncourt and her husband Decker of Arizona, the late Francis J. Zadrozny, and
Betty-Jean Lunn. He leaves his aunts Catherine Campbell and husband Timothy, Susan DeCosta, and uncles Daniel and Burton Lunn. He also leaves many cousins including
Katie King, Angeliza Campbell, and Shellie Rumery.
A memorial gathering was held May 16, 2015 at the VFW Post 2125 in Bridgewater,
From Jon's cousin Katie King:
Jon Jon's memorial was beautiful, yet sad. Rough day, but we all made it through.
Few tears, good laughs and most of all we were there to remember and honor Jonathan
Lunn. I thank everyone who showed up and brought something.
Family is everything.
I really don't like this hospital food; I'm joining the Marines!

So we challenged them with this ride. They were harnessed

themselves to come flying down through the uprights swinging like a pendulum

"Censorship's Blade on Photography" by Hassan Sarbakhshian
During the second term of Mohammad Khatami's presidency I decided to publish a book with my photography. With my work as a war photographer in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as the many photos that I had taken on various domestic affairs in Iran, I had an abundance of work to publish. Yet, no publisher was willing to take a risk with a book that would include photography of any given year's current affairs photography. They were worried that within only a few months the book would lose its relevance and audiences. As a result, I finally had to pay for it myself and publish this book independently. I prepared a draft of this book, and handed to the Ministry of Islamic Guidance for their review, hoping that they would issue a publication license for it. After a few months of anticipation, weeks before an upcoming presidential election that resulted in the victory of Mahmood Ahmadinejad, I received a call from the Ministry. The man who had called me introduced himself, and asked me to go to his office at the Ministry of Islamic Guidance to respond to a few questions and requests for clarifications regarding my book.

Currently I reside on page 105 of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Great Gatsby'. You may get to page 106 and ask yourself "Have I been wasting my time?" The answer is YES, yes you HAVE. Douchebag.
I have read over one hundred pages of nothing, it feels. I am aware there's this character Gatsby, who's a bit of a cad and and rich tosser, and a main narrator who is quite obviously so bloody boring the story had to be about someone else. He appears to have no personality. I am of the opinion that Fitzgerald has made a classic mistake – focussing on the wrong character. There are some interesting people to read about – or at least more interesting compared to the main two – but we get minimal information about them. Fail, Fitzgerald, serious, serious fail.
Going back to our narrator with no personality, what's his game? He has no strong feelings about anything. Ever. He mentions a relationship, in about two lines, that he had over the summer, but he cuts this off because the bird's brother started to get angry. That's some serious love dude. There is no hate about anything in particular, not really even a "this was good" at the end of each day. BORING.
But maybe I'm not giving Scott boy enough credit. Oh no wait, yes I am.
Maybe he was trying to achieve a reflection of the 1920s? How it was all money a-go-go, parties and frivolity, but all surface and no feeling? The trouble is, he is actually a good writer. I have enjoyed – or at least been able to read – the first part of the book easily. Is this a very shrewd writer who draws you in with his way with words but doesn't have any effect on your life? Reading 'The Great Gastby' is kind of like watching a Richard Curtis film, or listening to an Eno album – perfectly enjoyable the first time, but no real meaning. Maybe the last eighty pages will improve. Or at least have an exciting incident in there…

This 1988 laugh riot from Keenan Ivory Wayans took the tropes of the 1970s blaxploitation genre and made them even more ridiculous. With stars like Jim Brown and Isaac Hayes, Wayans constructed a typical tale of good versus bad, where a war hero (Wayans) returns home to find his community poisoned by the evil Mr. Big, a mean white guy. Enlisting the help of Brown and Hayes, our hero goes after The Man, but only after learning a few lessons about being a badass. The plot is actually far less memorable than the movie's detours, some of which involve a pimp shoe so tall that it can carry several goldfish and a scene involving Chris Rock and some pork ribs that carries one of Rock's most quoted lines. Also, watching Isaac Hayes try to ironically recreate some of his characters—Truck Turner, to name one—from the '70s is worth the admission price.

However, as it is the festive season, I can't resist a joke. When they advertise the DNase as RNase-free, they mean you don't pay for the RNase !

This blog is my list of things that porn stars should stop doing. Now I know there will be things on this list that will piss some people off but hey, let's remember this is strictly my opinion. I don't take time to blast anyone or point fingers I'm just going to bring up things I feel the need to speak up on.
Stop lying to the fans
Now there comes a time where you get girls that will come out and say they will perform a certain type of scene that knows will get them attention. Like for instance that good ol interracial subject. If you're going to do it, fine. Please stop dragging the fans along just so you can get attention.
You want to say nigga this, nigga that and listen to all types of hip-hop but you claim you are waiting to do your first IR scene. There's nothing like allowing the fans to know the truth. If it's about wanting the right price, say that then. Don't ignore fans, lie about it or bring attention to it if there are no plans to do so. Some of these fans are hardcore and the greatest thing you can do is be honest about it.
Oh and please stop blaming your agents for telling you that interracial will ruin your career. When you look at most of the performers of the year you will see that most of those girls have done interracial. If you aren't attracted to black men that's totally fine and we will respect that…but stop lying!!!!
Wishing On A gift
I find it very funny for some girls to ask for things off Amazon with the money they are making shooting porn. Now I understand some of the girls who need things because they generally can't afford it or they live in the sticks so they can't access certain things but c'mon. I know what some of you are getting paid per scene because I have personally cut you a check or called to ask your rate. When you look at the top girls of our industry they never have an Amazon list and always encourage fans to support their favorite movie.
Instead of asking for fans to buy you things I would suggest you sale things like clothing or signed DVD's through a website. There are numerous of ways that you can make money from fans instead of flat out asking them to go to your Amazon list to purchase something. I look at it as a homeless person that's in a designer suit with a sign on the side of the freeway asking for money. You would make fun of that person because it wouldn't make sense right? Exactly. It sucks because there are girls out there who have great websites that work hard to gather members by investing in there scenes and here you go asking fans to purchase things that won't even benefit you in the long run.
Sloppy Selfies
Now we all love a good picture taken by our favorite porn star. There's nothing like a great boob pic or ass pic that's exclusively taken for the fans, right!?! Hell Yea! However you will come across a few girls that will take a selfie and their bedrooms look like trash. It's like hold up. Now if you are trying to look sexy but you have clothes piled up around your bed, old soda cups on the dresser, nasty ass oatmeal in a bowl, and dog food as well, that shit aint sexy at all.
There's not a person in the world that feels sexy and want to share how they look every now and then but please do yourself a favor and clean up your mess before you do so. I was once told that no amount of deodorant or cologne could mask the smell of dirt when you decide to skip a shower. So if you are taking selfies and your room aint straight I can only imagine how long you have had your panties on.
Oh and for the record I don't think guys that aren't known for having a heavy female fan base should indulge in selfies. I mean if you aren't gay, but that's another conversation.
No Sex Advice
I tend to run into starlets that just got in the business trying to give out sex tips. If you don't cut it out. If you haven't been in the industry at least five years you need to learn your body first. I saw this one new starlet try to tell a guy how to fuck a pussy and then a few hours later she is having pussy problems. C'mon Man! How you gone tell some guy how to please a woman but you don't have the education to take care of your cum catcher? I just laughed and shook my head.
I know there are girls in this industry that really know their bodies and also reach out to girls that are in need. If you need help seek it without talking about it on twitter. Please call your agent or call a doctor. There's no need to ask fans for pussy advice when there is Google that can assist you. Now if you generally have an issue then this part of the blog isn't for you, but if you want to try to help others please help yourself first.
You ain't about that life
The most irritating thing that bothers me the most are the girls/guys that talk that rah rah shit. Okay. Now this industry is small and you will most likely run into everyone at one time or another. You see it all the time where girls/guys are talking like when I see this person I'm going to do this and do that. Next thing you know you see that same person at a convention and they don't do shit but roll their eyes or try not to make contact at all. I don't like violence nor do I condone it. I grew up in the streets of South Central Los Angeles and violence was all I was surrounded by. I'm used to when someone threaten me it's time to take action. But one thing is you don't speak about it, you be about it.
In this day in age I think people easily get upset over what's said on a social media site then ever. Then instead of talking to the person to try to get an understanding you wanna fly off the handle over something real simple. I advise you to not express your anger or animosity until you know the facts instead of assumptions. I've lost so many homies in these streets over bullshit and it's not okay to have people talk about causing another person harm over simple shit that can be worked out. However when you talk that talk remember that you can easily be found whether it's on set, in the streets or at your home. So just remember your words can cause more harm and you need to be careful.

20 things we learnt at Countryfile Live
The first ever Countryfile Live event was held in the beautiful grounds of Blenheim Palace in August, and we were lucky enough to be invited along!
As main partner of the four-day event, National Trust celebrated all things outdoorsy with our very own area, including a #50things to do before you're 11¾ woodland area, a theatre hosting talks and debates with some of the biggest names in the business, and a cookery demonstration stage.
Here are 20 things the National Trust Jobs team learnt at Countryfile Live:
- Blenheim Palace is not only a magnificent property, its grounds are extremely vast - thank goodness for comfy shoes!
- Hill rolling is harder than it looks
- Talking to people about why it's so great to work for the Trust isn't very hard
- Everyone loves a giant deckchair (even Anita Rani)
Anita Rani taking 5 in one of our deckchairs #nattrustjobslive pic.twitter.com/0aKOq3xmKK— Sam Sharmay (@SamSharmay) August 6, 2016
- Boots were a bad idea, it was trainers and flip flops for the rest of the weekend
- It is essential everyone has a cup of tea in hand before a morning briefing takes place
- Ray Mears really knows how to build an epic den
- Spaniels are definitely our dog of choice – we counted at least six owned by National Trust staff and volunteers – Other dog breeds are available.
- There is an urban myth that we're run by volunteers and no one gets paid – we busted that quite a few times! As well as a whole host of amazing volunteers, we have around 10,000 members of staff keeping our special places special
- Mud pies are great fun whatever your age but can get pretty messy
- Sand sculptors always bring a water supply with them – phew!
- Goodie bags are very popular - we gave away 500 over four days
- The Sandpit was almost as popular with the resourcing team as it was with children
- Ray Mears was so popular; people were queuing outside the National Trust Theatre to catch a glimpse!
Spilling out of the door for @RayMearsWILD's talk in our theatre #NatTrustJobsLive pic.twitter.com/hJXqy4caN6— National Trust Jobs (@nattrustjobs) August 5, 2016
- The person in charge of keeping the break area clean is your new best friend (they have sweets!)
- When 4G goes down, our social media gurus can be found in the sandpit
- Free scones from the Catering demonstrations do not last very long!
- We're working very closely with our tenant farmers to make sure what we're doing is sustainable and kind to nature
- Our work at Countryfile Live was mostly made up of: playing in the sand, making mud pies, cuddling dogs, talking to everyone about everything National Trust, constructing dens, eating scones, taking pictures, rolling down hills and climbing trees...
Even Catering are getting in on the #NatTrustJobsLive giant deckchair action at #countryfilelive pic.twitter.com/5epUCXYO1t— National Trust Jobs (@nattrustjobs) August 4, 2016
- Above all else, we learnt that everyone who works here really does love their National Trust job!

Crete Tuscany bike tour is an ideal option for cycling enthusiasts of all levels. Whether you're looking to pedal calmly along the gentle lanes of this beautiful region, or to challenge yourself on the very same hills that cycling legends—including Bartali, Cipollini and Bettini—have trained on, Tuscany can truly be said to be a land of cyclists, and much, much more.
In the Crete Tuscany bike tour you'll be able to enjoy a diverse array of Tuscany cycling routes. There are bike routes to the UNESCO World Heritage site Val d'Orcia, tracks across the stark but gentle landscape of Crete Senesi, or lanes cutting through the vineyards of Chianti and Montalcino. You'll also get a chance to walk the hallowed halls where the Chianti wine was born, or to stroll in such renowned and beautiful towns as Siena and Pienza.
You will be warmly welcomed for all 6 nights of your Crete Tuscany bike tour at Il Molinello, a family-run farm stay, or agriturismo. This is an excellent way to discover Tuscany at its most real and authentic. As well as being a working farm, Il Molinello has premium accommodation options with luxury trappings—perfect for couples, solo travelers, and families alike.
Ecological sensibilities are also fully respected on this greenest of Tuscan bike tour vacations. The farm at Il Molinello has its own organic extra-virgin olive oil production and an organic vegetable garden, and all the apartments have been restored with locally sourced material (travertine and wood). Il Molinello is also energy-independent thanks to solar PV panels, solar water-heating, and other renewable energy sources.
And a complete cultural immersion into the Tuscan lifestyle—together with a warm hospitality—is guaranteed from Sandro and his wife Elisa, together with his parents Mauro and Paola, and his children Emma, Guido, and Bernardo. Not forgetting, of course, their four-legged friends Nerone, Princess Fichina and Regina, il gatto.
Asciano Warm-Up
Welcome to Tuscany! Our optional group shuttle will depart Terontola train station at 11:30 am and will take you to Agriturismo Il Molinello in Asciano in about 35 minutes. We'll get together at 12:30 pm in the Molinello Enoteca for lunch and a brief introduction talk. In the afternoon after a bike fitting, we'll ride around Asciano (with an optional extra loop).
Val Di Chiana
Today we'll ride along the Val di Chiana (with an optional extra loop) reaching Fattoria Santa Vittoria for a truly rustic, historical and organic experience. The Val di Chiana is a huge fertile plain bordering Lazio, Umbria and Tuscany. It has an esteemed agricultural production, becoming the symbol of the Terre di Siena and of entire region.
In the afternoon at Il Molinello, you'll have an olive oil tasting course with Sandro, who's an official ONAOO (the National Organization of Olive Oil) taster!
Val D'Orica
Today we'll plunge into Val d'Orcia, considered one of Italy's wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Medieval castles, sunny rolling hills, isolated hill top towns, charming isolated rural homes, avenues of cypresses, and golden wheat fields are just some of the elements of the fantastic and harmonious landscapes of this area. We'll stop in Pienza, another UNESCO World Heritage site, for a stroll through town.
Rapolano Terme, Siena and Crete Senesi Loop
Today is a rest day! There will be an optional loop ride along the Crete Senesi, the world's most photographed panorama! For those who don't want to ride, spend the morning at the Spa and natural hot spring San Giovanni in Rapolano Terme. Hot springs are naturally produced by the emergence of geothermal heated groundwater from the earth's crust. The Terme di San Giovanni is a natural terrace overlooking the sea of hills that is the Crete Senesi, so while relaxing in the pools or having lunch, you can enjoy a breathtaking view on this gorgeous landscape.
Chianti Classico
Today we'll ride through the famous Chianti Classico region. We'll ride along Castello di Brolio, built around 1,000 AD and owned since 1141 by the Ricasoli family, the oldest winery in Italy and the second oldest in the world. Afterwards, we'll stop for lunch in Gaiole in Chianti, the starting point of L'Eroica, and we'll visit the vintage "White Roads" to browse a selection of artisanal products. In the late afternoon, we'll return to Il Molinello for a three-hour hands-on cooking class. You'll create a complete menu, from appetizer to dessert, using only the freshest seasonal ingredients.
Our last ride will lead you to Montalcino, the city of the famous wine Brunello di Montalcino DOCG. We will ride along the Pecorile road in the heart of Crete Senesi and the Asso Valley. Montalcino, renowned all over the world for the production of its precious Brunello red wine, has scarcely changed in appearance since the 16th century. Once you get up to the town, a magnificent spectacle unfolds for your eyes.
We will have a picnic lunch at Giuditta Parisi's farmhouse Nostra Vita winery, where the Parisi's produce Brunello di Montalcino DOCG.
After breakfast at 9 am, we offer one group shuttle to Terontola train station from where you can connect to Florence and Rome.

Vršovice is Prague's thriving bohemian quarter and is often compared to Berlin's Kreuzberg or Paris's Montmartre. It should without a doubt be high on your list of places for experiencing alternative culture in Prague. Once a working class neighborhood, Vršovice has transformed its once empty streets to the happening place to be with artistic vibes and cool, yet unpretentious hangouts around every corner. The heart of Vršovice is Krymská Street where it's easy to spend a night out, easily hopping from bar to bar.
Bars & Cafes
Café v Lese ("Café in the Woods") arguably is where bohemian Vršovice got its start by attracting hipsters to its doorstep. café V lese ("Café in the Woods") is a must see on the Prague café/bar circuit. Since you are most likely terribly nostalgic for 1970s Czechoslovakia, come check out the retro interior and furniture of this bygone era. café V lese has a lot more to offer than just ambiance, especially since there is a music venue and gallery space underneath the cafe. There is practically something going on every day whether it be a concert, theater, design market, or exhibit opening.
When waiting in line to enter Ankali, it is hard to imagine this club is "off the map," but once you enter you'll understand. Ankali feels like a Berlin techno club. It showcases a wide array of DJs from all around Europe. But unlike Berlin clubs, Ankali does not thrive on exclusivity. Instead, it attracts a crowd of friendly, open-minded people who dress how they want, dance how they want while creating a positive environment for everyone. The acts tend to revolve around house, techno, dub, and contemporary disco, but the club is constantly bringing in new talent so be sure to check the schedule posted on Facebook.
On Krymská, one of the trendiest streets in Prague, you can find the latest edition to the city's repertoire of queer cafe-bars. Unlike many other cafes, this one welcomes a crowd of queer people of all genders and orientations. Patra is the brainchild of the team behind Mezipatra Queer Film Festival, Prague's one and only film festival by and for the LGBTQ community.
Koncept 0 is everything that a café lover in search of a quiet, uncrowded place with great ambiance is looking for. The white minimalistic décor with perfectly placed navy, red, and green furniture allows the customer finish their work while enjoying a good cup of coffee and background music.
A modern, hip interior with a touch of Asian lanterns and Buddha statues perfectly captures Jam & Co.'s approach to their fusion food—an Asian twist to well-loved American dishes. While the grilled tiger shrimp buns and homemade kimchi burger are two popular choices, the real star of the show is the baked sweet potato fries with their very own jam mayo sauce.
Vegan-friendly with cozy cabin vibes, Santsang offers its vegan community a wide array of rich flavors with its popular Panang curry, Pad Thai, and even Czech soup that will satisfy your spice cravings. The wooden, red-brick interior with hanging incandescent light bulbs, yellow flowers, and ambient music allow for an intimate setting to chat or eat solo. Santsang has become known for their spectacular daily American brunch with bottomless mimosas!
With music sheets for walls and a rustic kitchen decor, The Conductor champions the talk of the town with its cinnamon rolls (vegan variety available too) baked fresh daily and pulled pork sandwiches for people to grab on-the-go. The amiable atmosphere and friendly staff attracts both curious and busy passersby who wander in while waiting at the tram stop.
Boho Vintage Concept Store, a once successful pop-up turned permanent store, should be your go-to for hand-picked vintage fashion and relics. The items for the store are typically found at flea markets, ensuring that every item is unique and, of course, vintage. The store also organizes creative workshops along the lines of yarn making, as well as participates in street festivals.
Arts & Culture
Krymská Street, one May day each year, is turned into the liveliest of block parties that Prague has to offer. Imagine all of the hip places that already exist in this district moving out into the street to throw a party. Yes, it's amazing.
Petrohradská kolektiv is a hub of contemporary art, get this, located in a former chocolate factory. Started in 2015 by two local artists, this alternative space boasts a gallery, offers an artist residency program for 60 local and foreign artists, and organizes events the likes of experimental electronic dance parties. Follow their Facebook page and stop by when they have an event.
This vast 3-tier park exists as a central area to Vršovice locals, inviting toddlers, grandparents, and four-foot friends alike to stroll through the numerous stone paths, talk and sit in seclusion, and adventure through hidden features within the park. The highlight of this tree-covered park is the amazingly instagrammable Grotta, an artistic cave of sorts worth getting lost in. The park also includes big playgrounds for children, a vineyard, and a café to sip beer in.

Health & Wellness The Newsletter About Your Health And Caring For Your Body
Welcome Our Two Newest Members! Come In And Say Hello To Our New Clinically Skilled Professionals To Help You Get Results
Thanks to the continued faith and trust of our patients and referring doctors, JointCare Physical Therapy isgrowing. We at JointCare are happy to introduce the newest members to our team—Caroline Schmitt and Aaron Weiner. Like all members of the JointCare Physical Therapy team, Caroline and Aaron were chosen because they exemplify the qualities that we value at JointCare. By combining excellent clinical skill with awarm bedside manner, both Caroline and Aaron have proven to be assets to the patients they work with and for JointCare as awhole.
Caroline then went on to earn a doctor of physical therapy degree from Slippery Rock University, which is where she first came in contact with JointCare. She had the opportunity to spend time in both the Florham Park and the Denville offices, and was immediately impressed by the inviting atmosphere of the clinic, the staff's dedication to delivering the highest caliber of patient care, and the patients' affinity for the one-on-one care provided. Upon graduation, Caroline interviewed with and received job offers from several other companies, but when the opportunity arose to join the team at JointCare, it was an easy decision. Caroline is pursuing advanced credentialing inmanual therapy. Her mission as a physical therapist is to optimize each patient's physical therapy experience by utilizing a hands-on approach in combination with a strong bedsidemanner to develop a trusting relationship between patient and therapist. This then allows her to provide patients the tools they need to promote long-lasting changes to improve their overall quality of life.
earned a B.S. in Nutritional Sciences with a concentration in Dietetics. Since then, he has gone on to obtain the credential of DTR (Dietetics Technician Registered) with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics as well as their certificate in Adult Weight Management. Through years of wrestling, he found himself in need of physical rehabilitation and fell in love with the profession so he returned to Rutgers where he earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Aaron began his career as a physical therapist with the Veteran's Administration. It was here that he felt a strong connection to the community and personal desire to give back, being that many of his family members are veterans themselves or currently serving active duty. Not only was he given the opportunity to help veterans but he was fortunate enough to be able to see patients through the entire episode of care, from immediately after surgery until discharge fromoutpatient care. This is an experience that he truly values and feels has made him a more versatile therapist. Aaron's first encounter with JointCare was with the Florham Park office where he was impressed with the warm, positive environment and personalized care they provided. However, it was the commitment to clinical excellence and attention to detail that won him over and as soon as an opportunity became available, he made it clear that he was on board. Aaron is dedicated to a well-rounded health care approach, he is currently pursuing amanual physical therapy certification and working towards creating a nutrition program that can be offered to JointCare patients.
Caroline Schmitt Born and raised in Parsippany, NJ, Caroline was driven to a career in the healthcare industry. It would allow her to combine her interest for learning about the mechanics of the human body and her passion for working with people and giving back to the local community. Caroline earned a B.S. in exercise science at Grove City College, where she had the opportunity to work alongside the head athletic trainer during football season. She gained a greater appreciation for the entire rehabilitation process here, as she assisted in providing care for athletes at the time of an injury on the field, all the way to the athletes' return to play, days, weeks, or even months later. Caroline's interest in orthopedics peaked during this time through the countless conversations she had with injured athletes on the sidelines about the highs and lows of their journeys through rehab.
Aaron Weiner Aaron began his healthcare journey in high school. As a wrestler, he was fascinated by the mechanics of movement as well as combing healthy diet and exercise to create positive changes within himself and his fellow athletes. What led him to study nutrition in college was the importance of healthy eating and the temptation to diet the "wrong way". At Rutgers University, Aaron
