How He Lied to Her Husband, by George Bernard Shaw
Love Letters to Mrs. Patrick Campbell, from correspondence between Shaw & Beatrice Stella Campbell, edited and arranged by Renée Bucciarelli

These short, sharp, shaw-cking Shaw-related plays were performed in  2017 at historic Galbraith ManorDirected by Laura McLean, featuring Simon Webb, Luc Roderique, Renée Bucciarelli

Entertainment Vancouver: "Simon Webb, Luc Roderique and Renée Bucciarelli bring out all the wit and clever banter that is the best of Shaw...delicious fun...you are transported to another age...Humorous, insightful and great theatre." Full review here.

Audiences entered the Edwardian drawing room--and boxing ring--of George Bernard Shaw's How He Lied to Her Husband, brought sumptuously to life at exquisite Galbraith Manor. In this gem of a bedroom farce, when the gloves come off He, She, and Her Husband hilariously duke it out. The Shavian farce parodies some of Shaw's own real-life shenanigans, as Love Letters to Mrs. Patrick Campbell amply reveals.

George Bernard Shaw, the only Nobel Prize laureate to also win an Academy Award, was a literary giant of astonishing range whose "rare sense and inspired nonsense" shocked and delighted Victorian sensibilities. A devoted partner in a sexless marriage, he famously carried on an entertainingly passionate, creative, and conflicted love-affair-by-letters with Mrs. Patrick Campbell--one of the greatest theatrical stars of her time. Selections from 40 years of correspondence tease and tantalize: did they, or didn't they?

Nigeria Has Lost More People To Boko Haram Than Civil War – Donald Duke

Former Governor of Cross River State Donald Duke has stated that Nigeria has lost more to Boko Haram than what was lost during the civil war. The outspoken politician made this known while speaking at a conference organised by the National Movement for Positive Change (NMPC).

He lamented that some individuals had turned Boko Haram insurgency to a money-making venture. Duke said: “Boko Haram has gone longer than the civil war. Boko Haram has been on for about six to seven years now, whereas, the civil war was three years.

"In real terms, it has cost us more than the civil war, in terms of human and material resources.“The Boko Haram crisis is also economic and it is getting deeper now because they have realised that the best way to get more money is to capture a few girls, get about $10 million to release them and six months later kidnap another set and make more money.

"There is a fundamental problem in our Armed Forces, their efforts cannot be doubted but there is a problem somewhere.“I believe the men and women in the Armed Forces are far more intelligent and exposed to deal with this issue.”

The Tucker 48 is one of the most legendary cars out there. Only 51 were produced by Preston Tucker before the company imploded for various reasons; one of which was an SEC investigation for which he was later exonerated.

The example show here is Tucker #1028. It’s located at the Tupelo Automobile Museum in Elvis Presley’s Mississippi birthplace. The rear-engine car is displayed with its doors, trunk, and hood open to allow curious visitors a good look at the upscale interior touches, in particular the side-mounted push button radio and padded dashboard.

Ballinrobe Golf Club

The 18 Hole Championship Parkland Golf Course at Ballinrobe Golf Club is considered by some, including Padraig Harrington, to be one of the finest in Ireland.

Cloonacastle Estate, which dates back to 1238, became the new home for Ballinrobe Golf Club during its centenary year in 1995.
It comprises a mature 300 acre estate which provides the setting for an ever evolving, continuously maturing, magnificent championship parkland golf course.
A 250 year old Estate House and some of its original farm buildings, have been carefully and tastefully renovated to provide modern clubhouse facilities.
In the words of Padraig Harrington -

"This must be the finest championship course in the West of Ireland, The par threes, in particular, are a delight. My favourite hole is the fifth which has a marvellous green inset into the River Robe. The tenth hole is a hole which the professionals will love, with its island green needing a very precise choice of club."
Why not experience the challenge of this magnificent parkland course for yourself...

Turkish army using Israeli-built drones

By Ivan Watson and Yesim Comert, CNN

  • Turkish troops employing Israel-made aerial drones against Kurdish rebels
  • Despite rift in relations, Turkey remains dependent on Israel for defense technology
  • Rift stems from last month's deadly raid on Gaza flotilla by Israeli commandos

Istanbul, Turkey (CNN) -- Despite an epic rift in Turkish-Israeli relations, Turkey's top general announced his troops are relying on new unmanned aerial drones recently purchased from Israel to battle Kurdish rebels.

At an international military conference on Monday, the commander of Turkey's armed forces, Gen. Ilker Basbug, said that within the last 10 days, his troops had begun employing Israeli-made "Heron" drones on surveillance missions over Turkey's mountainous eastern border with Iraq.

Basbug spoke after a weekend of bloody clashes with Kurdish rebels left at least 12 Turkish soldiers stationed in this border region dead.

The fact that Turkey still depends on Israel for high-tech defense technology could complicate the Turkish government's threats to punish Israel for a botched Israeli commando raid in which eight Turks and a dual-national Turkish-American were shot dead aboard a Turkish ship carrying aid to Gaza.

Israel plans to ease blockade

After the May 31 incident, Turkey's prime minister ominously warned "nothing would ever be the same again," between the two once-close Middle Eastern allies. Recep Tayyip Erdogan has demanded that Israel apologize for what he has repeatedly labeled an act of "state terrorism" and "piracy" in the eastern Mediterranean.

Turkey withdrew its ambassador from Tel Aviv, Israel, in protest and cancelled joint military exercises with Israel. But Ankara has been careful not to sever ties with the Israeli defense industry.

The long-simmering conflict with rebels from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) has flared once again in recent months, making Turkey more dependent on Israeli military technology.

"This is another paradoxical situation ... Turkey has been reluctant to freeze defense industry ties with Israel," said Lale Kemal, a journalist who writes a column on military affairs for the Turkish newspaper Zaman.

"You need equipment to fight against asymmetric warfare. These are attack helicopters, surveillance systems such as UAV's [Unmanned Aerial Vehicles], intelligence systems and satellites ... and Turkey doesn't produce any of these systems."

When asked on Monday whether Israeli technicians and engineers had to cut short training on the new drones due to the recent rift in relations, Basbug insisted Turkish operators were adequately prepared to pilot the Herons.

"Now our own personnel, our air force, is using the Heron systems that we bought," Basbug said. "They got the training, it is over. We are capable, we have started using them."

Basbug added that the Israeli-made drones are being sent into Iraqi airspace, in coordination with the U.S. military, to gather intelligence on PKK rebels who have long operated out of remote mountain camps on the Iraqi side of the border. According to the Turkish military, at least 55 of its soldiers have been killed in clashes with PKK fighters since the beginning of March.

Over the last week, Turkish warplanes have carried out several air raids against suspected rebel targets in northern Iraq.

On March 16, the Turkish military said hundreds of Turkish troops made an incursion several kilometers into Iraqi territory in "hot pursuit" of PKK militants.

Group Awards Spouses Record Number of Scholarships

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28, 2008 - More military spouses than ever before are heading back to school this year, and they've earned some financial help to study for their chosen degree, National Military Family Association officials said.

The association, which prepares military spouses, children, and parents to better deal with the unique challenges of military life, recently announced the nearly 400 recipients of its 2008 Joanne Holbrook Patton Military Spouse Scholarship Program.

This number represents a dramatic increase over previous years, officials said, thanks to new partnerships with the Fisher House Foundation and Health Net Federal Services, who helped meet the increasing demand of military spouses for education benefits.

"I am very determined, and I will finish my degree. It will be one of the proudest moments of my life, and I truly believe this is something every person should have the opportunity to accomplish," said DeAnn Fine, a Marine Corps spouse and winner of an NMFA scholarship.

"There are so many opportunities for [servicemembers] to earn a higher education," she continued, "and there should be just as many opportunities for their spouses because we proudly serve our country, too."

In addition to the Joanne Holbrook Patton scholarships, the new Folds of Honor Foundation provided generous scholarship funding for 180 spouses of military servicemembers disabled or killed in the line of duty during the global war on terror.

Of the scholarship recipients, about 56 percent are Army spouses, 17 percent are Navy spouses, 15 percent are Air Force spouses, 10 percent are Marine spouses, and 2 percent are Coast Guard spouses. More than 75 percent of recipients are married to enlisted servicemembers, while 20 percent are officers' spouses. Warrant officers' spouses represent 2 percent of the scholarships awarded.

NMFA created its scholarship program to provide financial assistance to military spouses working toward their education goals. The military lifestyle presents several challenges. Education may cost more for military spouses because constant moves require they re-take credits that don't transfer or they are forced to change their degree or program because the new school does not offer the same program, officials explained. Also, spouses sometimes take a break from their education when lengthy deployments create additional child care expenses or limit their time for their classes and studies.

Through the inspiration of Joanne Holbrook Patton, who recognized that a scholarship serves both as a reward and an incentive, NMFA officials said they launched the program to enhance full military spouse career potential.

Scholarships are awarded to spouses of uniformed servicemembers -- including those of active duty, National Guard and Reserve, retirees and survivors -- to obtain professional certification or to attend post-secondary or graduate school. Scholarship amounts range from $500 to $10,000, and can be put toward tuition, fees, and school room and board.

A complete list of winners, along with more information on the scholarship requirements and application process, can be found on the National Military Family Association Web site.

The National Military Family Association is a supporter of America Supports You, a Defense Department program connecting citizens and companies with servicemembers and their families serving at home and abroad.

Pamper session with Zoella Beauty.

Pamper session with Zoella Beauty.

Hi Lovelies,

I’m a little late to the party, but i finally got my hands on a few bits from Zoella’s beauty ‘Bath and body’ range and i thought i’d share my initial thoughts with you all.

First up is the Soak Opera bath and shower cream. It comes in a 250ml bottle and is packed full of goodness with vitamin E, Shea butter and aloe vera to leave your skin feeling soft and moisturised after use. The packaging is pretty simple, but it’s undeniably very cute and feminine.

The price point varies depending on where you purchase it from but on average you can pick this up for around £4. Although the scent is pleasant i wouldn’t necessarily rush to buy it again, although i was happy to have finally tried it.

Scooper Dooper foaming bath soak.

Next up we have the Scooper Dooper foaming bath soak which (spoiler alert) is definitely a new fave!

It has similar ingredients as the shower cream, with lots of Aloe Vera, Shea butter and other moisturising goodness. The pot itself is a lot bigger than i expected, plus just a little of this goes a really long way! I poured the smallest amount in the bath whilst it was running and within seconds it had filled my entire bath with foamy white bubbles that smelt incredible!

The smell is soft and delicate. It has a familiar smell that reminds me of clean washing and fresh flowers. It’s the perfect scent for someone who has enjoys a more subtle, gentle fragrance.

The Candy clutch beauty bag.

One of my favourite pieces from the collection is this candy clutch bag. Its canvas material and pastel colours make it unique to anything else on the market within that price range.

It can be folded over if you only wish to put a few small items in it, or can extend to fit bigger toiletries, perfect for holiday packing!

I hope you enjoyed this post! Let me know if you have any favourites from her beauty range? I’d love to try more.

Pacific-12 Conference

Kasey Urquidez, University of Arizona

In its earliest days, University of Arizona had a bit of a Wild West aura. Students rode their horses to school, hitching them outside Old Main, the first building on campus. And a year after the first undergraduates arrived, the dean of students asked the Board of Regents to prohibit the use of firearms on campus.

In fact, Arizona was still a territory when the University of Arizona broke ground in 1885 on 40 acres of land with a $25,000 grant from the legislature.  The first students arrived in 1891 – 32 strong – along with six teachers. But only six were admitted to the freshmen class. The remaining 26 went to a specially established prep school since there were no high schools in the territory. Seventeen years later, the university students finally outnumbered those in the prep classes and more than 20 years later -- in 1912 -- Arizona became a state.

Katherine Heigl's "I Hate Balls" PSA

To educate pet owners on neutering, Katherine Heigl has teamed up with FunnyorDie.com to make a PSA.

Katherine Heigl, former Grey’s Anatomy star, is featured in a PSA that supports pet owners neutering their pets.

The PSA, part of the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, has a website titled IHateBalls.com and its own merchandise.

The foundation was named after Heigl’s brother, who died of brain damage in 1986, after being in a car accident.
The foundation has funded spray/neuter programs and financial support for animal rescue organizations.

In the PSA, Heigl says, “Unfortunately I can’t cut the nuts off human men…yet. So I’ve dedicated my time to the neutering of dogs ‘cause that’s legal.”

For certain majors, internships are required for graduation. Internships can be done for academic credit or for the benefit of experience, but for some, the process of locating and applying for internship positions may seem overwhelming.

Jane Smith, director of the Center for Advising and Career Services, is ready and willing to help students looking for an internship.

“Part of [Career Services’] job is to help students find an internship or job,” Smith said.

Companies frequently contact Career Services looking for interns in a specific area. When that is the case, Career services will often contact students and program coordinators in that specific department.

Another way students can access possible internship opportunities is through Career Services’ job board, Career Central. Internships are posted on Career Central, and students are able to look for positions in their specific field.

Career Central can be accessed through the intranet. Once students create an account through Career Central, (which takes a few moments and is completely free!) they will be able to browse posted positions, upload their resume and narrow down their searches to a specific field.

Another way Career Services partners with students who are looking for an internship is through word of mouth.

Smith encourages students to communicate directly with her.

“Come talk to me. Let me know what you’re looking for. So, that way when I do get [internship opportunities] in, I can send them a personal email,” Smith said.

She encourages students to be proactive. “It’s not too early to start looking for an internship,” Smith said.

A second woman has come forward to accuse Ed Westwick of rape.

The former 'Gossip Girl' actor was accused earlier this week of having sexually assaulted Kristina Cohen at his home three years ago, and her confession has inspired Aurélie Wynn - who was previously known by her stage name Aurelie Marie Cao before giving up acting - to come forward with her own accusation.

Aurélie posted on Facebook on Wednesday (08.11.17), where she alleged that Ed had forced himself on her in 2014, in a tale similar to Kristina's.

She wrote: ''In July 2014, I went through a very similar ordeal with Ed Westwick, I was ubered by Ed to the Glendower Estates where he was renting following an invite from a girl friend of mine who was dating his roommate a cast member on Glee, we all hung out until 5am, sun was starting to rise since it was summer so we all decided to get a few hours of shut eye since we all had events and things to do the next day and there are plenty of bedrooms. And like Kristina, I said no and he pushed me face down and was powerless under his weight. I was wearing a one piece bathing suit that he ripped, I was in complete shock, I am also very tiny. When it was over I got my cellphone and found that the girl that had invited me had left or got kicked out. I had terrible service in the estate without access to the wifi and had to get another friend to get me an Uber out of there while Ed was passed out. The house is so big I took a video of my experience getting out of the house since it's literally a maze. (sic)''

The former actress then went on to claim that her boyfriend at the time, Mark Salling - who last month was pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography - blamed her for the alleged offence and broke up with her because of her claims.

She continued: ''I told the guy I was seeing that I got raped, Mark Salling, and when he found out by who he pretended not to know him, then blamed me for it and broke it off with me. My other friends and people around me told me it was best not to say anything, to not be ''that girl'' and that no one would believe me and think I was just out trying to get my 10 seconds of fame. (sic)''

Aurélie rounded off her post by thanking Kristina for coming forward to accuse Ed, 30, as she said she wouldn't have spoken out if it wasn't for her.

She wrote: ''I am so incredibly thankful all of this is finally coming to light and that there is justice in the world. I believe you Kristina Cohen and thank you for speaking up so eloquently and really encompassing what young female actresses have to go through at the hands of men like Ed Westwick. Without you I would not have had the strength to speak up publicly about my ordeal. #metoo (sic)''

After years of striving Bruce and his E Street Band finally found chart success with their 1975 album Born to Run, however the rocker's rise to fame was marred by a legal battle with his former manager Mike Appel which prevented him from recording new material for two years.

James, whose new superhero movie Logan hit cinemas this week (end05Mar17), believes Bruce's costly falling out with his early manager could provide great material for a movie.

"I'm a lifetime Springsteen fan, and I've always been fascinated with that moment after Born To Run when he couldn't record," the 53-year-old filmmaker told Rolling Stone magazine. "You're always looking for moments like that."

Bruce, 67, released his autobiography last year (16), detailing his career and struggles with depression. However, while promoting the book in an interview with BBC 6 Music he revealed that Goodfellas filmmaker Martin Scorsese was the man he wanted to make his biopic.

Another idea James has for a rock biopic is a movie following the inter-band affairs and debauchery of British-American band Fleetwood MAC.

"Then there's the whole idea in terms of Fleetwood MAC, these people who are all getting lost in interpersonal connections with each other," James explains.

The director has already had immense success with a music biopic, as his 2005 film Walk the Line showed country legend Johnny Cash and his wife June Carter-Cash's turbulent musical and romantic relationship and gained five Oscar nominations, with Reese Witherspoon winning the Best Actress prize for her portrayal of June.

James says he has tried to get a couple of other music movies off the ground but it can be difficult to approach artists who are worried about how they will come out of a movie.

"There's been a couple of instances where I've actually approached artists," he says. "The trick is always, are they ready for that kind of treatment? And do you have something original to say? It's not good enough that they wrote great music or changed music history.

"You actually absolutely have to have a story. And there's many places where there's these stories that are fabulous, but will they ever let you make them into a movie? I don't know."

His next movie project after Logan is Seducing Ingrid Bergman, a film about the Swedish actress' romance with war photographer Robert Capa.

Posted by in Business | Comments Off on Why Storage Units are a Convenient Option

Why Storage Units are a Convenient Option

Nowadays a client can expect much more from renting storage units than they ever did from traditional warehouses. With computerized engineering adding convenience to your storage experience, modern facilities offer a wide range of value added services to their clients.

Self storage units offer 24 hour video surveillance to monitor the safety of you and your belongings stored on the premises. One in ten of all facilities in the US are self storage facilities and so security is of paramount importance. Besides computerized gate access using electronic keypads or proximity cards, some ultra modern facilities are further resorting to more sophisticated methods for restricting access to private storage units. Biometric thumbprints and hand scanners may also find use in the future and are currently being used for some self storage units. From excess inventory and archived records for small businesses to household goods, boats and RVs for families and individuals, these facilities offer a valuable and necessary service where space is at a premium. Statistics show that one in ten American households now rent self storage units, making it a growing and lucrative business. Factors that have contributed to the consistent high demand in such units are lifestyle choices and transitions that make renting cargo space a necessary option. With more marriages ending in divorce, storage units remain a place to keep one spouse’s belongings until he or she can settle in to their new living situations. When an individual retires or moves into a smaller home with changed circumstances the only way to store their personal belongings would be to rent storage units. Another key element to consider is the fact that some 40 million Americans move every year (US Census figures) and temporary storage is the only way to manage their possessions while they change their homes and addresses. Death in the family and disposal of the home of the deceased also adds to demand for renting these units.

The various types of units available also allow clients multiple choices in rental facilities. Spaces may be climate controlled or not, have WI-FI access and offer different storage facilities for vehicles like boats and RVs. In areas susceptible to storms and hurricanes you can expect the units to have hurricane proofing and reinforced walls for their storage units. High end boat owners can avail enclosed storage for their expensive boating equipment. Special parking bays may be made available for long RVs or some facilities offer smaller RVs enclosed storage units. Eustis, FL can avail of local facilities offering premium services with most of the latest amenities at affordable prices.

Storage Units Eustis FLWhen looking for affordable storage units, Eustis, FL residents can rely on the state of the art facilities at Pak It Inn – Florida for all their storage needs.

Vegan Lemon Cake with Lemon Icing

Vegan baking isn't something I thought I'd be into. Butter and eggs are hallmarks of almost every type of baked treat such as cookies and cakes. Forgoing those ingredients might mean making substitutions that just don't quite give you the same richness or texture.

That's why this recipe by ShopCookMake appealed to me. Rather than substitute for those ingredients, it just omits them. And the results weren't just adequate, they were fantastic. This is a delicious lemon cake perfect for springtime. Instead of butter, the cake is made with vegetable oil, which is a common substitution anyway, even if the cake recipe also uses eggs. Yes, the cake wasn't quite as rich as a cake with butter and eggs, but frankly the lack of richness contributed to this being a "lighter" treat in keeping with the season.

I made a few alterations to the recipe. First of all, I increased its volume to be appropriate for a 9 X 13 baking dish. Although the original author declined to specify the size of the baking dish for her recipe, its volume of 1 1/2 cups of flour suggests to me that it was ideal for a 9 X 9 pan (although her cake is clearly rectangular--she must have a different size pan I'm not used to). Additionally, I used only lemons, instead of lemons and limes, and I omitted the vinegar, which struck me as superfluous. The reason a cake recipe would have vinegar is to contribute acid to activate the baking soda and thus create leavening. This cake already has a generous amount of acid from the lemon juice and, given that lemon cakes are comparably more delicate in flavor as compared to, say, a chocolate cake, I was concerned the vinegar could add unwanted flavor. Omitting it just makes the recipe simpler.

Vegan Lemon Cake with Lemon Icing
Adapted from a recipe by ShopCookMake for Instructables

2 to 3 lemons (enough for 1/3 cup of juice and 3 tbsp. of zest)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 2/3 cups demerara or turbinado sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/4 cups water
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup vegetable oil, plus more for the pan

3 tbsp lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
1 1/4 cup confectioner (powdered) sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.

2. Zest the lemons, then juice them. You'll want 1/3 cup of juice and about 3 tbsp. of zest.

3. Whisk together the flour, sugar and baking soda in a large bowl, then stir in the lemon zest. Whisk together the lemon juice, water, vanilla and oil, then add to the dry ingredients and whisk together until combined.

4. Brush a 9 X 13 baking dish with vegetable oil, then pour the batter into the dish. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until a toothpick or knife inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and set on a cooling rack. Cool completely before icing the cake.

5. Combine the remaining lemon juice and powdered sugar in a small bowl, using a spoon to mix the icing until smooth. Pour over the top of the cake. Serve the cake from the pan, cut into squares.

  1. Hi Andrew, how about using apple sauce instead of oil? mc from work.

    1. Hi MC! I've not tried using applesauce in baked goods, although I know a lot of people like to do so. I did some searching, and most of the recipes I saw for cakes still included some fat--usually butter. So I don't know if you can go all applesauce. It might make for a dry cake. If you try it, let me know.

It’s been a while since the last page dump and I apologize for that. I’ve been super busy, as has Tobi, but we manged to get this batch completed and what a batch it is! We’ve worked out a decent system that should allow for more regular updates now as well, so my personal aim is to get back to guaranteed monthly page dumps. Please harass me on twitter for updates… I am completely serious about that.

As for the content of this page dump, I just want to point out a couple things:

  • Page 19: Kemezeckian bodyplans are horrifying
  • Page 20: The diagnostic wand Dorian picks up? The one Kracker bought for him in “Signing Bonus.”
  • Page 21: Something tells me that Cosaya is going to be an important place…

As always, you can discuss recent events in the Cosmic Dash discord. Now onto some news!

The first giant bit of news is that the Cosmic Dash novel, Pause & Effect, is now available for $2.99. It’s a big read and takes place between Paranoia and The Cube. it’s worth a download. You should also pick up the first two installments of Galactic Hub Serreven while you’re at it, “Welcome Home” and “Diner Dash.”

Next up, I am happy to announce that since launching the official site in August of last year, RGBots has posted three comics a week, non-stop, and that won’t end anytime soon. We’re hard at work at season two with an art revamp that is a lot of fun, including some new panels. One way we’re celebrating is by doing a guest-comic run mid-February, just before we switch over to season two. Want to make an RGBots comic to promote your site, twitter, or comic? We have a graphic for that…

So if you want to get involved, please feel free. Draw a comic if you want, but even just sending us a 3-6 panel script works out great as well!

Arguably, the biggest piece of news with my work is that Cosmic Dash has left SpiderForest (which remains a wonderful group of people), and along with RGBots, represent a brand new webcomic collective of which I am a founder: Comicadia!

See the stamp?

We have a hell of a lineup of comics and we’re going live within days of my writing this post. We have some big plans ahead and this has been something I have been working on as Tobi and I have been waiting for our production schedules to sync. I, personally, have poured a lot of my energy into this project alongside Jim, the founder and master-coder, and MonicaNG, who has some amazing CSS skills that took some of my graphic work and made it a functional, elegant site. I can’t wait for you all to see just how good this thing looks. I can’t wait to share all the future stuff we’ll be delivering through the site.

On that note, in the near future (within the year) I am aiming to revamp the site and go with something a little more stripped-down and minimal. I’ll make all the important notices as that time approaches.

Lastly, you may have heard about all that crazy stuff over and Patreon, and maybe you cancelled your pledge (I don’t blame you, at the time I encouraged my patrons to do the same). Patreon reverted their misguided decision and I am sticking with Patreon, but it motivated me to revamp my whole process of support. I outlined that in a lengthy Patreon-post, but here is the highlighted version:

Rewards are no longer tied to Patreon as a platform for supporting me, instead, I have developed a rather charming monthly newsletter which will launch at the end of the month (Jan 27th, my birthday, in particular) that includes a lot of great content including a comic strip. Best of all, no matter your contribution level, you get everything: the newsletter, the 30% commission discount, free ebooks, and patron discord access. I am not linking rewards to specific tiers anymore. I always saw Patreon as a tip jar and all I need is $1 a month per reader. There are other tiers if you are feeling more generous, of course, but for the most part it is a level field for everyone.

So, if you want free novels, enjoy the comics, or want 30% off my commissions, why not donate $1 a month to me? Or hell, if you can’t do Patreon, I’ll take paypal.

See you next month, I hope!

The world has been relying on coal, oil, and gas for decades. Due to the increasing energy demand, a popular question is where to get the energy from in the near future. To utilize clean energy resources, offshore wind energy is one of the fastest growing sources of renewable energy. However, it is often criticized for being too expensive.

Cottoning onto cool critters at wildlife spotlight evening

Families in the Border Rivers region recently enjoyed a family wildlife discovery and spotlight evening at ‘Taraba’ near Toobeah, hosted by Cotton Rivercare Champion, Mark Palfreyman.

Cotton RiverCare program manager and CottonInfo technical specialist for natural resources, Stacey Vogel, said some 30 local people attended the event - held on Friday, 21 October.

“The evening gave attendees an opportunity to get up close to animals they normally wouldn’t see – like microbats, the pale-headed snake and the Macquarie turtle,” Stacey said.

Ecologist Phil Spark had spent the days leading up to the wildlife discovery evening on ‘Taraba’ undertaking a fauna survey, funded by the Cotton Research and Development Corporation.

“The spotlight evening provided a great opportunity for us to share with our neighbours some of the cool critters that Phil caught here over the past four days,” Mark said.

“Phil kindly stayed on at the farm to lead the event – showing families the animals that can be found in our local area, and providing information about their habitats to keep them healthy.

“The evening was very interactive, with children especially enjoying the wildlife spotlighting walk. No log was left unturned!

“Over the coming weeks we will be posting photos and information about some of the animals spotted during the fauna survey via social media.

Click here to find us online!”

The wildlife discovery evening - part of CottonInfo’s Cotton RiverCare project - was a partnership between CottonInfo and the Queensland Murray Darling Committee.

Hank rides again as Wayne Hancock

By Jeffrey B. Remz, October 1997

Page 2...

But after high school, Hancock, not exactly the bookish type ("I hated school"), headed off for six years in the Marine Corps. He did stints in Hawaii and Japan with the former having an influence on his music.

A few songs display that sound. "The Hawaiian steel guitar," Hancock said. "(In) all the old hillbilly music, they used to use it in the '40's. I thought it was a forgotten thing. Then, when I was in the military in Hawaii, there were a lot of people there who played it."

Hancock continued playing music in the military, but was not cut out for military life. "Killing people is not really what I'm into...I don't like people telling me what to do every day of my life," he said.

He drifted "all over the place. I came back to Texas, and I drank a lot. So much that my parents didn't want me around any more. I did a lot of bad things. Stuff like pulling guns on people in parking lots, really stupid kids stuff. It was just a stupid thing to do. I was at a place (a bikers bar) I shouldn't have been at."

He did odd jobs such as being an iron worker in Florida, filling up yachts with fuel, landscaping, even a Merry Maid cleaner. "That was really funny," he said. "That was an experience I'll never forget."

Hancock ventured to Austin in 1991 and did a few more jobs while still playing music. His last job was tree trimming. The only problem was there was no pay day. "I figured this is ridiculous," he said. "I could make $150 a night singing. I just gave it all up and did music."

"That's when all my troubles began," he said jokingly.

He played clubs - "real dives, bars where people could care less about what you were doing."His first gig there was getting $10 to open for Rusty Weir.

Hancock also made some friends on the Austin scene, including Joe Ely, which led to a career surge. Ely was involved in the stage production of "Song For Chippy." Jimmie Dale Gilmore played Mr. Jukebox, but once he was nominated for a Grammy, he was out of the picture, apparently needing to devote more time to his music.

"They thought I would be a good guy for the part, and that's how I got it," Hancock said. "It couldn't have happened at a better time. I was really down and out at that point."

The show went to Philadelphia and Lincoln Center in New York. Hancock also gained notoriety for his contributions to the soundtrack, one of which was the title track of his debut.

Hancock received interest from several labels, including Warner and Elektra, for whom he did demos. "These guys wanted to develop me," he said. "You know what that means. It was just like being in the military."

At one point, he toured with Asleep at the Wheel, an experience which left him jaded due to low pay and poor work conditions.

How Hancock's career took an upward turn stemmed from a fight with Foley. She went to San Marcos to go to a movie and ran into people from Captive Audience, a music management company.

One thing led to another. "Everything began to fall into place," he said. "It's been almost kind of a fantasy for the last seven months. This is fantasy. It's supposed to be that people recognize your talent, and they're hip to the sound, and you get good press, rather than go into Nashville and them taking your ideas and making it their own and fitting into their category."

Hancock has toured mainly around Texas. He hit several major cities, such as Cleveland, the Boston area and New York in December and intends to hit the road again in the new year pursuing music, not odd jobs and the rough-and-tumble lifestyle of some of his musical heroes.

He admits to being surprised about the critical acclaim. "I'm very surprised," he said. "I knew the record would do good, but I didn't know it would do this good. That's how I thought it was supposed to be. I'm actually thrilled to pieces people actually like the record."

"My dream has come true," Hancock said. "My ship has come in. Hopefully, I won't trip on the pier and fall off."

'Resident Evil: Apocalypse'

'Resident Evil' (1994) Domestic box office: $40,119,709; ("Apocalypse" grossed $51,201,453 in 2004, "Extinction" made $50,648,679 in 2007, and "Afterlife" earned $60,128,566 in 2010.) Why the game succeeded: The cinematic quality and in-depth storytelling helped scare the heck out of game players in its original and sequel versions. The movie? Game on!: When a game is turned intol three films and a fourth is on the way, you know something went right. With Milla Jovovich and butt-kicking femmes such as Michelle Rodriguez and Ali Larter in supporting roles, the draw is there. The movie, though, is more action than suspense and horror, which is where the game succeeded initially and where the movie takes off.

Catching up with Harker senior distance runner, Niki Iyer

Today we chat with Harker senior runner, Niki Iyer. This past season, Niki won her 2nd WBAL individual title on the Crystal Springs course with a time of 17:36.1. She finished in 3rd place at the CCS Division IV race and unfortunately was not able to compete at the state meet due to an injury. As a junior, Iyer finished in 5th place at the CA state cross country meet. On the track, she scored double victories in the 1600 and 3200 at the WBAL championship meet. She followed that up with a personal best 10:29.52 victory at the CCS finals. At the state finals (photo to the left courtesy of Kirby Lee and, Iyer finished in 3rd place with another personal best of 10:24.39 trailing only two of California's all-time greats, Fiona O'Keeffe and Destiny Collins.

1) How did you get your start in running? What other sports have you played?
I started off as a competitive ice skater but when I moved to California from Florida, I couldn’t find any ice rinks in my area so I switched to playing soccer up till about 8th grade. My first cross country season ever was in 6th grade and I wasn’t super competitive—I was just trying to get in shape for soccer season and because I played midfield I thought that running would improve my endurance J I’d say I had my first real track season in 8th grade when I ran for Coach Allison Burzio and her club, Forza.

2) What was your experience before high school? Track PRs before 9th grade?
To be honest, I didn’t have much experience at all. I ran for one track season and went to the AAU JO’s in 8th grade. At the time, I’d only run the 1500 and the 800 and my PR’s were 4:55 and 2:24 respectively.

3) Highlights from your 9th grade experience in both XC and TF? What did you learn from your freshman experience?
My freshman year (in both XC and TF) was so much fun! Looking back now, it’s crazy that I had no idea what all those abbreviations were- CCS, WBAL, CIF, etc. I ran one Frosh-Soph race in XC at the Lowell Invitational and from the second race onwards, I ran in Varsity. I didn’t know what to expect out of myself in most of these races and quite frankly, I had this weird running strategy (or lack thereof) where I would go out super hard from the beginning and hold on to dear life to try to finish in 1st place. I think I was also more obsessed with placing and times and because I had never been challenged in races up till CCS, CCS was a huge shocker for me.

My biggest regret from freshman year is that I don’t think I took the time to really enjoy the process and each race. I was so anxious about every race and trying to “win” it all. I wish that I hadn’t been put on a pedestal so early so that I could have spent more time with teammates and understood that XC and TF are about camaraderie :D

4) What do you feel was your break out race as a 9th or 10th grader that gave you the confidence that you could compete with the best runners in our state?
I’d say my break out race as a 9th grader was definitely the Serra Invite. That was my first race at Crystal Springs and I was in the 2nd varsity race competing against some of the best in the section. My goal was to maybe break 19:00 on the course so to get 18:01 made me realize that I could really challenge myself and make it to State. I also remember watching the Championship Varsity race and seeing Anna Maxwell go by at the time was so inspirational. I looked up (and still do) to her so much and it made me realize that there was so many things I could try to push for in the sport :D

5) Through your high school career, who are the runners that you have looked up to and served as role models for you? What did you learn from them?
I’ve looked up immensely to Anna Maxwell, Sarah Robinson, Maddy Price, Corey Gonzales (my former teammate), Fiona O’Keeffe, and Gillian Meeks :D I think the most impactful thing I learned was patience. I learned that you can’t just go out and nail every single race and every single workout—sometimes, you need to take a step back and understand what’s going on before you jump into things. I also saw so much tenacity in each one of those runners and the amount of adversity they had to surmount, and I have so much admiration/respect for that!

6) Who are the coaches that have had the biggest impact on your running?
Jorge (Chen) and Coach Chisam have been so crucial for my high school development and although this sounds cliché, there is honestly no words for me to express how grateful I am. Coach Chisam was the first person to notice me in high school and it was really awesome that he taught me about CCS and WBAL. Jorge has been instrumental in my development from a crazy, long-haired runner to a future collegiate runner—he’s taught me so much about being patient in races. I’m so thankful to Coach Woodcock for always being my moral compass and being the friend I always need, to Coach Allison introducing me to the world of TF in the first place, and to Coach K at Harker for kicking my butt and forcing me to come to practices in middle school (haha). I also want to make sure to mention Menlo runner, Rob Miranda. He's my best friend and my training partner. Not having him this past season was so hard, but he's been there countless times to pick me up.

7) You finished in 3rd place at last year's CA state track and field meet in the 3200. What was your plan heading into the race and how did the race unfold for you?
To be honest, state was a complete shock and surprise for me. My entire season, I had set my mind to place in the top 2 at CCS so when I ended up winning it, I really couldn’t believe it. After seeing that my time was 10:29, Jorge told me that I had a serious shot of making it on the podium if I could stay patient during the race and not make any weird surges like I did at Arcadia. I also found out the race was going to be super late at night so I had a couple of practices around 10 PM to simulate what that would feel like. When the gun went off, I just latched on to the front pack and my goal was to just stay with them and make a move the last 600-400. Fiona made a move in the 2nd lap but the pack stayed together so I stuck with it. We started to string out with 1600 to go and at that point I think it was myself, Morgin, Destiny, Amanda, and Jenny racing together but I’m not quite sure what happened to be honest. With 800 to go, Destiny and I were battling for 2nd to 3rd but the girl has some serious wheels and she ended up passing me.

8) What does a typical week look like for you? Any morning runs? Typical weekly mileage? Length of long runs?
My weekly mileage is 35-40. My training is more speed oriented and less heavy on mileage so my longest runs are only about 8 miles. I do morning runs and morning workouts depending on the school day—my school is on a block schedule and on B/D days I have a 1st period free so I’m able to train in the morning those days :D

I don’t really have a “typical” week because things always vary due to races and hard workouts from the week

Monday- Long run day with pickups every mile (Usually about 50m)
Tuesday- Speed Endurance Day- 800-1600 repeats (sets of 4-5)
Wednesday- Speed Day- 200-800 repeats
Thursday- Long run (no pickups)
Friday- Speed Day or Pre-Meet
Saturday- Speed Endurance Day or Race Day
Sunday- Recovery Run (if I raced on Saturday) or OFF

9) Favorite XC course? Favorite XC invitational? Favorite XC workout? Favorite long run location? Favorite TF event? Favorite TF invitational? Favorite TF workout? Favorite free time activity?
Favorite XC course- Mt. Sac!!
Favorite XC meet- State is always the best
Favorite XC workout- mile repeats at Coyote Point
Favorite long run location- Sawyer Camp Trail
Favorite TF event: 3200 by far :)
Favorite TF invitational: Arcadia Invite is always super fun
Favorite TF workout: I'd say 400s make me feel race ready every single time :)
Favorite free time activity: I love hiking especially at the Fremont Older Preserve; I'm also really into biotech so I spend a lot of time with science research.
I'm also devoutly Hindu so I spend a lot of time in the temple because I find that it's been my anchor and give me so much peace.

10) You are attending Cal Berkeley next year. What led you to choosing Cal? How much of a factor was running when it came to choosing Cal?
My last official visit was to Cal and not to sound corny or anything but it was by far the most memorable one. I did a few visits to the East Coast and came back realizing that there was something missing. People always told me that it would be a gut feeling when I found the school I’d like to attend and I think that’s what it came down to for me. I really connected with Shayla, Chas, and Coach Sandoval and understood their long term goals for the team and individual. I love that they balance both our individual goals and the team’s goals. Academics wise, there’s no question about Cal’s Engineering program—I’m so honored and grateful that I get to attend such a prestigious university and continue doing what I love to do. I think the thing that really bought me over was the team. I’ve truly never seen anything like it before; the I love that it’s a combined program so everyone is super super close :D I’m so excited about furthering my academic and athletic careers at an amazing place!

11)What races are you most looking forward to during the upcoming track and field season? Any goals that you would like to share?
I’m looking forward to every single race this season because each one is my last one of high school. I’m taking everything one step at a time because I want to really enjoy this season. My biggest goal is to be present for ever moment. I also really hope to lower my PR in the 32 and in the 16 as much as possible and hopefully get back on the podium at state because that was a life changing experience :D

12)Anything else you want to add.
Thank you so much for interviewing me! Your blog is awesome :)
I'd also just like to leave a piece of advice: "The only time you should ever look back, is to see how far you've come" :)

Thank you very much for your time Niki! AJC

AA Biology Program of Study

Suggested Course of Study Biology AA

The Biology Associate Degree is a two year degree designed to transfer to a four year University.

Biologists are teachers in high school, college, and universities. They also work as conservationists, nutritionists, laboratory technicians, foresters, rangers, sanitarians, marine biologist and geneticist. Their working environment has as much variation as any career filed: classrooms, laboratories, forests, national or state parks, state or municipal offices, agricultural research stations, oceanographic vessels, museums, zoos, green houses, medical laboratories, hospitals, deserts, tropical rain forests, or even the cold of the arctic regions. Biologically related jobs are predicted to increase much faster than most of the job market in the future. With recent advances in genetic research, many new doors are opening for biologist in such areas as medicine synthesizing scarce biological molecules, and finding new food and energy sources.

Central African Republic: new waves of tension arise

An angry mob has stormed the Headquarters of the United Nations Stabilization Mission to the Central African Republic (MINUSCA) with corpses 17 people claimed to have been executed by MINUSCA troops.

The 17 people including a blue beret were killed in a gun battle between self defence groups and MINUSCA forces at the PK5 district in the Central African capital Bangui.

Some 10 people were injured in the fighting that took place on Tuesday, 10th April 2017 in the Muslim dominated part of the capital. The Tuesday night has been described by media as one of the deadliest in the last two years carried out by a joint MINUSCA – Central African forces against armed groups.

The eastern part of Bangui remains tense, one of the provinces administered by Seleka. However, the Popular Front for Renaissance Central African Republic (FPRC) is monitoring the situation in the north-east of the country.

The Mayor of the Bangui, Atahirou Balla Dodo said besides the 17 bodies that were taken to the MINUSCA headquarters, two women and two children had been conveyed to a mosque. 56 injured people were admitted at the Bangui public hospital while Doctors without Borders were treating 44 all from bullet injuries.

A U.N. soldier was killed and eight others injured in the gun battle on Tuesday. Some 11 peacekeepers and 12 other people also sustained injuries in other confrontation on Sunday, according to MINUSCA.

The self defence groups that took up arms against UN forces say MINUSCA and government operation undermines the peace project initiated by the African Union.
Operation to disarming the self-defence groups by MINUSCA have remained futile as the PK5 which  is the economic heart of Bangui remains cut off from the rest of the capital.

A joint mission of the UN and AU is working on a crisis in CAR was received on Wednesday, 11 April by President Touadéra to seek concrete and last solutions to the wave of violence.

Thinking of taking an African cruise but not sure where to go or who to travel with? Julie Peasgood, TV presenter, travel expert and Contributing Editor for Cruise International provides some sound advice…

Having just taken a cruise around South Africa, and found it one of the most exciting, diverse and spectacular places I’ve ever visited, I would encourage you to book your cruise asap.

There is so much to see on an African cruise, but my top tips would be to take in the craft markets in Cape Town, and to go on excursions to the nearby award-winning vineyards and The Garden Route. (Best of all, treat yourselves to an early morning hot-air balloon ride over the vineyards if you can).

I would also pick an African cruise that stops at Walvis Bay in Namibia – from here you can fly inland to Omguma and experience a magical safari which isn’t commercialised. Many African cruises also take in Madagascar and Mauritius, both blessed with beautiful beaches. It’s also a very favourable time for us to visit currency-wise: a glass of wine costs around £1.25, and main meals are between £5 and £7.

Fred. Olsen, Regent, Crystal, Holland America, Cunard and P&O all offer African cruises – so you’re spoilt for choice for what to do and who to travel with.

If you’ve been inspired to take a cruise, use our Cruise Finder to find your perfect voyage.

"She's Not An American. Why Did She Win???"

20130916-112445.jpg Nina Davuluri, an Asian-American, is an American!

From the time she uttered those words to remark that she and her fellow pageant mate are "Asian-Americans" Twitter, Facebook and a slew of other social media has been set ablaze with ignorance. (see pictures from the internet below)

In actuality, Nina Davuluri embodies what America truly is- a combination of many cultures living under one oath, the Pledge of Allegiance. We are not a melting pot anymore, we are a mixed salad! Cultures come and adapt to living conditions but never lose sight of who they are and that's excellent.

So if you have a problem with that I suggest you cook at home and NEVER go out for take out- No Italian, Chinese, Thai, West Indian/Caribbean, NONE OF IT! The only thing that I've heard was an all American dish was 'The Apple Pie' and even that isn't. It's European! Apples did not exist here until they were brought over and trees were planted. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/2369851 (Oh and that blurb about offending the devoutly "religious" - I'm not religious I'm a Christian so I know God created nature and creature before mankind. Confused you? Ask me about it sometime.)

In addition to cooking your own meals, you should also learn to make your own clothes, rear your own children, maintain your households on your own, do your own yard work, stop traveling, and use ABSOLUTELY NOTHING imported. Sounds absurd? Well so do the the thousands of people who share the opinion that if you aren't white you're not right or in this case "American". By the way, America was named after an Italian explorer named Amerigo Vespucci. http://www.loc.gov/wiseguide/aug03/america.html

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the ONLY people who have a right to say ANYTHING regarding anyone's origins in THIS COUNTRY are the NATIVES (I won't call them Native American because for them this land was NOT America). Truth is, if every family in this country did a DNA family search they'd ALL have hyphens added to their "American". We all hail from SOMEWHERE and are now blessed to call this land our home.

(Above: Miss California, Crystal Lee, excellently executing her ballet routine)

(Above: Miss New York before becoming Miss America, Nina Davuluri, wowing the crowd with her beautiful Bollywood inspired dance routine- I LOVED IT!)

If you're angry, too bad. If you're happy about it, great! Vent on this post, I want to read what you have to say. Comment.

Today's Reading: Psalm 22

Today's Meditation:

In many ways this is the most amazing of all the psalms. In it we have a picture of the crucifixion and resurrection of the Lord Jesus painted by the psalmist David one thousand years before Jesus Christ was born. It constitutes one of the most amazing predictions of all time.

At least nine specific events or aspects of the crucifixion are described here in minute detail. All of them were fulfilled during the six hours in which Jesus hung upon the cross. Moreover, the latter part of the psalm clearly depicts the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. The probability that the predictions of these nine events would be fulfilled by chance in one person, on one afternoon is inconceivably small. The chance that all this could occur by accident is beyond any realm of possibility our minds could imagine. Yet all was fulfilled as predicted in this amazing psalm.

The psalm has two major divisions. The first twenty-one verses recount for us the torments of an unknown sufferer who is entirely alone and is crying out to God in His agony. Many scholars assert that these first twenty-one verses represent the thoughts that went through the mind of the Savior as He hung upon the cross and suffered there. From verse twenty-two to the end the sufferer is no longer alone but is in the midst of a large company and is praising God and shouting in victory. It ends with His claiming the worship of the entire world.

Lord Jesus, it is unfathomable to me what You endured on the cross. Thank You for Your willingness to suffer and die. I worship you as my Savior and Lord.

Ray Stedman

When Jesus became sin for us He endured unthinkable separation from the Father fulfilling amazing prophecy. What implication does that have for us today?

Easy to install and use with gennaker

•  Ideal for both cruisers and racers

•  Connector angle adjusts for best placement

•  Removes and folds for compact stowing

•  Set, jibe and douse spinnaker safely from cockpit
•  Adjustable bobstay eliminates turnbuckle

•  Sail clears bow pulpit

• Range of sizes for boats  18’ -  50’

•  Engineered for strength and durability patent pending

Sizing the C SPRIT® for your boat

The C SPRIT® number indicates length in inches.

Use calculator to help select best sprit for you.

CS-34 for boats 18'-24' LOA. (SWL ~1000#)

This is our smallest unit that extends tack approx. 21".

CS-36 for boats 20’-30' LOA. (SWL ~ 2000#)

Projects the tack approximately 23" in front of the bow

CS-30 for boats 30’-40' LOA.  (SWL ~ 3000#)

It is a sturdy and stubby version ideal for the cruising sailor.

It projects the tack point approximately 17" in front of the bow.

CS-42 for boats 30'-40' LOA. (SWL ~ 3000#)

Is a high performance version of the CS-30 and will project the tack point approximately 29" in front of the bow.

CS-48 for boats 40’-50' LOA.  (SWL ~ 5000#)

This beefed up version will project the tack approximately
34" in front of the bow

C SPRIT®  fits most any boat.

Deck mounted brackets are placed by each toe-rail approximately 10” – 12” from the bow or an alternate exterior mount can be fixed to the toe-rail or topsides.

A simple way to envisage the best location is to attach two wooden yardsticks with a bolt at one end to create a hinge. Separate these rules by about 12 " and slide it back around the forestay, where they touch your deck is approximately where the mounting brackets should be installed.

The C SPRIT® is good for for do-it yourself installation, and only requires two 3/8” through bolts on each side.

Boats are more beautiful when not encumbered by bulky equipment above deck so this is why we make it simple to remove and stow.  C SPRIT®is 100% made in USA.

See our INSTALLATION page for more instructions.

BK-1 bobstay kit  (SWL ~ 3000#)

BK-2 bobstay kit  (SWL ~ 5000#)

C Sprit is a removable aftermarket carbon bowsprit for sailboats.

DM-1 Deck Mount ( included with  CS-30,34,36 & 42)

DM-2 Deck Mount (included with CS-38, 48)

EM-1 Alternate External Mount (for CS-34,36)

EM-2 Alternate External Mount (for CS-30, 38 ,42, 48)

Why use a Bowsprit?

The C SPRIT® is a modernized version of the traditional bowsprit used to improve downwind sailing. Sailors have known for centuries that deploying extra canvas in front of a sailing vessel is fast.

Reasons for  improved  performance are:

1.  Extending the tack point beyond the limits of the deck allows boats to carry more sail area.

2. Moving the center of effort forward stabilizes boat trim and requires less speed robbing steering corrections.

3.  Sails are more efficient when projected further in front of the mast as they are less affected by disturbed air from the mainsail.

4.  Sail handling and maneuvering is simplified.
