In 1994, Mecca USA burst onto the fashion market while rap music was also making its own stand. The timing proved to be fortuitous for both. Mecca Clothing quickly became a wardrobe staple of hip hop rappers and the urban youth who were looking to these artists as inspiration. Instead, of trying to create clothing to suit office, evening or other areas; the brand has firmly established itself as the line representing sporty, casual and street wear.
The driving force behind Mecca USA was Mike Alesko and Tony Shellman. Mike Alesko is well known in the fashion industry, creating not only the Mecca Clothing brand but International News, the Seattle based company that would later spawn Mecca. Tony Shellman is a hip-hop fashion innovator who also cofounded Encye and the Parish Nation clothing line. Their clothing line took design inspiration from the birthplace of hip-hop, New York City.
With New York City serving as their fashion muse, the line took on a rugged and raw edge, giving wearers an instant statement making look. The line quickly evolved into the “uniform” for inner city youth. By the end of the decade, Mecca USA’s appeal was not limited to a city audience. Instead, increasing numbers of suburban youth were looking to Mecca USA as a way to express themselves and identify with the rap musicians they wanted to emulate.
The brand made its way into malls and major department stores, getting the attention of those who had previously only been buying mainstream labels such as Tommy Hilfiger and Polo Ralph Lauren. Over the years, numerous celebrities have worn the line including. The Mecca clothing expanded its base, making its way into Europe, Asia and all around the globe.
Mecca USA has always focused on denim wear. Originally only offering designs for men, such as baggy unique-pocket designer denim jeans, trendy foil printed tees and high-quality hoodies. Reversible jackets, airbrushed tees and polo shirts were also popular. Today Mecca USA has further extended its audience with clothing suited to girls and women. The line for girls is called Mecca Girls and features sequins, rhinestones, skirts, tops, pants, and outerwear among other items. The most successful extension of the company however, has been Mecca Femme.
Introduced in 2002, Mecca Femme is about cutting edge innovation. A mixture of urban street wear with high-fashion looks and European inspiration, creating a unique look that female fans of urban wear have flocked too. Mecca jeans is popular with men and Mecca Femme has similarly staked a claim in this arena with women.
The Mecca Femme brand jeans feature a blend of cotton and spandex to create a figure hugging and pleasing silhouette. The jeans have quickly become a favorite among urban women because it is fitted to curvier body types. Female celebrities have also quickly flocked to buy them.
Unlike other hip hop clothing lines that rely on high prices in order to show their “quality” Mecca USA has always been affordably priced. Making their clothing accessible to everyone and keeping consumers loyal and coming back for more. Though the prices are low, quality has always been a major part of the brands identity. High-quality materials are used to showcase screen printing, prints, special stitch treatments, foiled logos and other signature looks.
Mecca Clothing has paved the way for other hip hop related brands such as Sean John, Rocawear, Akademiks, Phat Farm and Ecko. Since the beginning, Mecca has been firmly rooted in the hip hop industry and there is still a cult following for Mecca USA among those seeking attention getting street wear.

TULSA, Okla. – Oral Roberts continued its dominance on the diamond in the Summit League Baseball Championship, defeating South Dakota State, 11-3, in the title game Saturday afternoon at J.L. Johnson Stadium.
For the second time in the tournament, SDSU starter Brady Moxham was pulled early after struggling with his control. The sophomore right-hander recorded only four outs while walking two and hitting three batters. The only hit Moxham allowed was a single by Riley Keizor in the second inning that scored Andrew Pace with the first run of the game. Trevor McCutchin followed with a sacrifice fly to make the score 2-0.
Noah Cummings completed the five-run second-inning rally for Oral Roberts with a two-out, line-drive double off the wall in left field against Jackrabbit reliever Derek Feige that cleared the bases, scoring three.
The Jackrabbits got on the board in the home half of the second without the benefit of a hit. Newt Johnson led off the inning by being hit by a pitch. After a pair of outs, the bottom third of the SDSU lineup – Landon Badger, Skyler Wenninger and Derek Hackman – all drew walks, with the base on balls to Hackman forcing in Johnson.
ORU added to its lead with a pair of runs in the fourth. A sacrifice fly by Cal Hernandez plated the first run, while Spencer Henson followed two batters later with a two-out single through the left side that scored Nick Roark.
Of ORU’s first seven runs, six runners reached on either a hit by pitch or walk. Seven Jackrabbit pitchers combined to issue 15 free passes – four hit batters and 11 walks – in the game.
Golden Eagle starter Josh McMinn settled in, allowing only four hits the remainder of his outing, which lasted 6 2/3 innings. The right-hander struck out four and walked three.
Pace was 3-for-4 to lead the Golden Eagles, who held a 12-7 advantage in hits.
Brett Mogen allowed one run over three innings of relief to lead the Jackrabbits in the pitching department.

According to Jewish tradition, the power of prophecy was given to Abraham, Moses, Deborah, David, and Elijah (to name just a few). But what makes someone a prophet, and how should we understand the prophets of our tradition today? Rabbi Noah Ferro will explore these questions and more in a series of classes on Wednesday afternoons until April 24, 2019.
The last two sessions of our class occur on April 10 and April 24.
Rabbi Ferro wants us to read excerpts from the words of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel; to try to understand how the rabbis of the Talmud understood prophetic literature; and to see why the prophets of the Hebrew Bible aren't merely "seers" or "fortune tellers." What else we do, however, is in large part up to you. This class will explore these questions and more.
The class is free to NHS members, but we want to keep an accurate head count for copies and room setup. We therefore request that you register by contacting Kim Heath in the office (admin@nhs-cba.org) or Rabbi Ferro (rabbi@nhs-cba.org).
And should you choose to stop attending, please let us know that as well.
Lunch will also be provided at no charge (usually bagels and salads) -- though we will need to know how many people to feed, of course.
We gladly accept donations at the door to help offset the cost.

How much do you know about your teeth? Whether your answer is not much or quite a lot, it turns out that even the things we think we know about our teeth are often not even true. Because of this, we decided to take a look at the top 7 most common myths surrounding our teeth to explain why they aren’t true.
1. You can never brush too much.
Believe it or not, you CAN brush your teeth too much. Brushing your teeth too often can wear down on your teeth. Toothpaste especially can be quite corrosive if overused. The best method is to stick with brushing two times a day. Rinsing often is a positive alternative if you like to do more than the standard twice-a-day routine.
2. Brushing before a dental appointment will hide irregular brushing habits.
When you do not brush your teeth, your dentist find redness and bleeding from your gums during your cleaning. When you brush your teeth regularly, this will not happen. As a result, they know if you’re not doing what you’re supposed to.
If you are concerned that your gums are bleeding when you are start brushing twice daily, know this is normal and that it will go away quickly as your gums get used to it. If the bleeding does not go away though, you should contact your dentist.
3. Eating sugar harms teeth and causes decay.
Turns out, sugar is not the real reason for your cavity, so you can apologize to all of the candy you blamed for your filling. In fact, if you do not consume sugar, you will likely have the same oral hygiene issues that you would have if you did consume sugar.
Tooth decay actually results from a combination of bacteria, acid, and sugar in your mouth. When bad sugars combine with bacteria to produce acid, plaque builds up on your teeth, so it is important to know though that sugar, just like any food, can get stuck and irritate your gums.
4. Bleaching or whitening your teeth is damaging.
Why would a dentist offer a service that would be harmful to teeth. The answer is they wouldn’t. While you must keep in mind the importance of moderation, teeth bleaching or whitening is not harmful. The only common negative side effect from whitening is temporary increased tooth sensitivity.
5. Whiter teeth mean healthier teeth.
Everyone has their own unique tooth color that is healthy for them. While teeth should be more white than not, having white teeth does not necessarily mean healthier teeth. You can have teeth that are white and also have unhealthy teeth. The white color does not indicate a lack of cavities or infection.
6. You can relieve tooth pain by placing aspirin next to aching tooth.
This home remedy is entirely untrue. Aspirin only works when it enters your bloodstream. Therefore, in order to experience pain relief you must swallow and digest it. Simply placing the pill next to a tooth will have no effect. If you have tried this and felt better, the best explanation is that you are experiencing a placebo effect.
7. Bad breath means you don’t brush well.
You can be a religious brusher and still not have good breathe. While poor dental hygiene can be a factor, there are numerous other reasons for bad breath. This includes the foods you eat and illness. Both can have a negative impact on your breath.

The House and Senate adjourned the 2019 Legislative Session today, but not before the leadership of both chambers cheated their way to an increased appropriation for private school vouchers and proudly acknowledged doing so.
Likewise, the conference report was quickly moved to a vote in the House, though House conferees say they did not know the voucher funding had been added. House Speaker Philip Gunn has acknowledged that he did know about the hidden language, but he chose not to reveal it to House conferees or members.
Many have asked why legislators didn't read the bill and catch the added language. Read how the move to mislead and circumvent their fellow legislators unfolded.
When the voucher language was discovered, the bill was held on a motion to reconsider in each chamber, giving legislators another opportunity to vote on the matter.
When the Senate voted this morning, Lt. Governor Reeves refused to acknowledge senators' request for a roll call and ruled the voice vote in favor of moving the bill forward with the voucher funding. When Sen. Derrick Simmons protested, pointing out that a sufficient number of senators had requested a recorded vote, Reeves gaveled him down - literally ordering Simmons to be seated. We will never know how the Senate really voted on that motion.
Friends, it is time for new leadership! We need legislators we can trust to stand up for our children and our public schools, and legislators need leadership they can trust to fairly preside over their chambers. Fortunately, we have an election just around the corner!
Will you help us elect a better Legislature?
We've heard from so many of you who are frustrated and angry over actions in this session. If you are ready to make a change, send us an email at nloome@msparentscampaign.org. Let's turn that anger into effective channels for change in Mississippi! Our children's futures are at stake. And together, we've got this!

Inhibitory effect of glycyrrhizin on the in vitro infectivity and cytopathic activity of the human immunodeficiency virus [HIV (HTLV-III/LAV)].
Glycyrrhizin (GL), one of the plant extracts, was investigated for its antiviral action on the human immunodeficiency virus [HIV (HTLV-III/LAV)] in vitro, using cytopathic effect and plaque forming assay system in MT-4 cells (a HTLV-I-carrying cell line). Cloned Molt-4 cells (clone No. 8), which are sensitive to HIV and fuse to giant cells after infection, were also used as a parameter for cytopathic effect of HIV. GL completely inhibited HIV-induced plaque formation in MT-4 cells at a concentration of 0.6 mM, the 50% inhibitory dose being 0.15 mM. GL completely inhibited the cytopathic effect of HIV and the HIV-specific antigen expression in MT-4 cells at a concentration of 0.3 and 0.6 mM, respectively. Furthermore, GL inhibited giant cell formation of HIV-infected Molt-4 clone No. 8 cells. GL had no direct effect on the reverse transcriptase of HIV. Its mechanism of anti-HIV action remains to be elucidated.

As ocean users, I think most of us have noticed the sheer amount of litter on our beaches, and in our oceans. Plastic on our beaches has increased 180% in the last 20 years, and is causing serious problems for our oceans’ health. It is estimated that over 100,000 marine mammals and turtles and over a million sea birds die every year as a direct result of marine litter. The majority of marine litter is plastic.
It’s as simple as that. It doesn’t ever go away. It might fragment into smaller pieces, and “degrade” over times, but in the process it leaches dangerous chemicals into our environment.
Since 80% of marine litter originates from land-based sources, the less we use on land, the less ends up in our oceans.
In the UK we use 13 billion plastic bottles every year, and they are one of the most common things found on UK beach cleans. You’ve probably seen them yourself, dotted around the place. If you haven’t, just keep an eye out next time you’re at the beach or out on your SUP, and I guarantee it won’t be long before you bump into a rogue bottle. Picking them up and removing them from the environment is a great step to help protect our oceans, and I encourage you to do so! With the advent of, for example, Surfers Against Sewage’s community beach cleans and the #2minutebeachclean, more and more people are understanding the positive impact that they can have by removing a couple of pieces of litter from their beloved beach every time they head down.
However. In the UK we are blessed with safe, clean, abundant drinking water. So why do we need to buy all of these plastic bottles in the first place? Using a refillable alternative will reduce the cost to the individual, and help to safeguard our oceans and our planet from the stress imposed upon it from the production and disposal of plastic bottles. Recycling is a great step. However, the amount of oil required to produce a plastic bottle in the first place would fill about 25% of its final volume, and to make a 1 litre plastic bottle uses 7 litres of water.
This August, I am going to SUP 260 miles around the entire Cornish coast and into North Devon, from Wembury to Croyde. That’s the equivalent of 10 marathons. It isn’t going to be easy, and I have never embarked upon a challenge like this before, but I hope to demonstrate just how easy it is to use less plastic in our lives, and as a result to reduce the amount ending up in our oceans. Training is well underway, and I will freely admit to loving the opportunity to eat more carbs then you can shake a stick at. The six pack is coming on well, although is currently looking more like a three pack after a 6 hour one-sided paddle against onshore winds last weekend!
In exchange for my challenge, I am challenging you to go without buying a plastic water bottle this summer, and to use a refillable one instead!
You can get hold of refillable water bottles all over the place. I am a fan of Stainless Steel bottles, the water tastes better – you don’t get that horrible plastic taste if it’s sat in your car (or van) for too long, and it’s healthier for you not to be drinking from plastic vessels too!
You can pick up Stainless Steel water bottles online at the Surfers Against Sewage shop, and support a great cause in the process. Use the discount code againstplastic at the checkout for 10% off Klean Kanteen bottles.
The SUPboarder team wish Caroline all the best with her paddle challenge, and hope to join her on the water too. Hopefully the summer weather is kind and allows her to reach her 20 miles a day target. Good luck.
You can follow Caroline’s progress on Facebook – Paddle Against Plastic 2016, or Twitter – @PaddleVsPlastic, or Instagram @paddleagainstplastic.
Along the way Caroline will be participating in numerous beach cleans and fun events. Check out her schedule below.
More information can be found on the Paddle Against Plastic 2016 Facebook page.

This article is about the Macintosh computer. For the electronic musician, see Vektroid.
Bruce Webster of BYTE reported a rumor in December 1985: "Supposedly, Apple will be releasing a Big Mac by the time this column sees print: said Mac will reportedly come with 1 megabyte of RAM ... the new 128K-byte ROM ... and a double-sided (800K bytes) disk drive, all in the standard Mac box". Introduced as the Macintosh Plus, it was the first Macintosh model to include a SCSI port, which launched the popularity of external SCSI devices for Macs, including hard disks, tape drives, CD-ROM drives, printers, Zip Drives, and even monitors. The SCSI implementation of the Plus was engineered shortly before the initial SCSI spec was finalized and, as such, is not 100% SCSI-compliant. SCSI ports remained standard equipment for all Macs until the introduction of the iMac in 1998, which replaced most of Apple's "legacy ports" with USB.
The Macintosh Plus was the last classic Mac to have a phone cord-like port on the front of the unit for the keyboard, as well as the DE-9 connector for the mouse; models released after the Macintosh Plus would use ADB ports.
The Mac Plus was the first Apple computer to utilize SIMM memory modules instead of single DIP DRAM chips. Four slots were provided and the computer shipped with four 256k SIMMs for 1MB total. By replacing them with 1MB SIMMs, it was possible to have 4MB of RAM. Although 30-pin SIMMs could support up to 16MB total RAM, the motherboard had only 22 address lines connected for 4MB.
It has what was then a new 3 1⁄2-inch double-sided 800 KB floppy drive, offering double the capacity of floppy disks for previous Macs, along with backward compatibility. The then-new drive is controlled by the same IWM chip as in previous models, implementing variable speed GCR. The drive was still completely incompatible with PC drives. The 800 KB drive has two read/write heads, enabling it to simultaneously use both sides of the floppy disk and thereby double storage capacity. Like the 400 KB drive before it, a companion Macintosh 800K External Drive was an available option. However, with the increased storage capacity combined with 2-4x the available RAM, the external drive was less of a necessity than it had been with the 128K and 512K.
The Mac Plus has 128 KB of ROM on the motherboard, which is double the amount of ROM that's in previous Macs; the then-new System software and ROMs included routines to support SCSI, the then-new 800 KB floppy drive, and the Hierarchical File System (HFS), which uses a true directory structure on disks (as opposed to the earlier MFS, Macintosh File System in which all files were stored in a single directory, with one level of pseudo-folders overlaid on them). For programmers, the fourth Inside Macintosh volume details how to use HFS and the rest of the Mac Plus's new system software. This new filing system allows it to use the first hard drive Apple developed for the 512K, the IWM floppy disk-based Hard Disk 20 and the then-new ROMs allow the Macintosh to use the drive as a startup disk for the first time. The Plus still did not include provision for an internal hard drive and it would be over nine months before Apple would offer a SCSI drive replacement for the slow Hard Disk 20. It would be well over a year before Apple would offer the first internal hard disk drive in any Macintosh.
A compact Mac, the Plus has a 9-inch (23 cm) 512×342 pixel monochrome display with a resolution of 72 PPI, identical to that of previous Macintosh models. Unlike earlier Macs, the Mac Plus's keyboard includes a numeric keypad and directional arrow keys and, as with previous Macs, it has a one-button mouse and no fan, making it extremely quiet in operation. The lack of a cooling fan in the Mac Plus led to frequent problems with overheating and hardware malfunctions.
The applications MacPaint and MacWrite were bundled with the Mac Plus. After August 1987, HyperCard and MultiFinder were also bundled. Third-party software applications available included MacDraw, Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, as well as Aldus's PageMaker. Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint (originally by Forethought) were actually developed and released first for the Macintosh, and similarly Microsoft Word 1 for Macintosh was the first time a GUI version of that software was introduced on any personal computer platform. For a time, the exclusive availability of Excel and PageMaker on the Macintosh were noticeable drivers of sales for the platform.
The case design is essentially identical to the original Macintosh. It debuted in beige and was labeled Macintosh Plus on the front, but Macintosh Plus 1 MB on the back, to denote the 1 MB RAM configuration with which it shipped. In January 1987 it transitioned to Apple's long-lived platinum-gray color with the rest of the Apple product line, and the keyboard's keycaps changed from brown to gray. In January 1988, with reduced RAM prices, Apple began shipping 2- and 4- MB configurations and rebranded it simply as "Macintosh Plus." Among other design changes, it included the same trademarked inlaid Apple logo and recessed port icons as the Apple IIc and IIGS before it, but it essentially retained the original design.
An upgrade kit was offered for the earlier Macintosh 128K and Macintosh 512K/enhanced, which includes a new motherboard, floppy disk drive and rear case. The owner retained the front case, monitor, and analog board. Because of this, there is no "Macintosh Plus" on the front of upgraded units, and the Apple logo is recessed and in the bottom left hand corner of the front case. However, the label on the back of the case reads "Macintosh Plus 1MB". The new extended Plus keyboard could also be purchased. Unfortunately, this upgrade cost almost as much as a new machine.
The Mac Plus itself can be upgraded further with the use of third-party accelerators. When these are clipped or soldered onto the 68000 processor, a 32 MHz 68030 processor can be used, and up to 16 MB RAM. This allows it to run Mac OS 7.6.1.
There is a program available called Mini vMac that can emulate a Mac Plus on a variety of platforms, including Unix, Windows, DOS, classic Mac OS, macOS, Pocket PC, iOS and even Nintendo DS.
The "ED" at the end of the model name indicates that this Macintosh was sold to the educational market.
Although the Mac Plus would become overshadowed by two new Macs (the Macintosh SE and the Macintosh II) in March 1987, it remained in production as a cheaper alternative until the introduction of the Macintosh Classic on October 15, 1990. This made the Macintosh Plus the longest-produced Macintosh ever having been on sale for 1,734 days, until the 2nd generation Mac Pro that was introduced on December 19, 2013 surpassed this record on September 18, 2018. It continued to be supported by versions of the classic Mac OS up to version 7.5.5, released in 1996. Additionally, during its period of general market relevance, it was heavily discounted like the 512K/512Ke before it and offered to the educational market badged as the "Macintosh Plus ED". Due to its popularity, long life and its introduction of many features that would become mainstays of the Macintosh platform for years, the Plus was a common "base model" for many software and hardware products.
The lack of fan could cause the life of a Macintosh Plus to end early for some users. As the power supply would heat up, solder joints inside it would fracture causing many problems, such as loss of deflection in the monitor or a complete loss of power. As in most early compact Macs, the problem was common in the yoke connector, flyback transformer, and horizontal drive coupling capacitor. A fan was also often added to reduce heat when the machine was upgraded to its full RAM capacity of 4 MB.
From the debut of the Macintosh 128K through the Macintosh Plus, various third-party cooling add-ons were available to help increase airflow through the unit. Apple reorganized the compact Macintosh case to accommodate a fan with the release of the Macintosh SE, which optionally included a heat-generating internal hard disk.
The Plus went through two ROM revisions during its general market relevance. The initial ROM was replaced after the first two months as it had a serious bug which prevented the Mac from booting if an external SCSI device was powered off. The second revision fixed a problem with some SCSI devices that could send the Mac into an endless reset at post.

Launched in the UK and Europe in early 2008, the LipoSonix® device was developed by U.S. based company LipoSonix Inc., now a wholly owned subsidiary of Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp. It is currently marketed in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal and Italy and is distributed and marketed in the UK by Sigmacon Ltd.
The LipoSonix® device is designed to non-invasively deliver focused, high intensity ultrasound energy directly into the fatty tissue under the skin so as to permanently destroy targeted fat cells by a process known as thermo-coagulation without causing any damage to the overlaying skin layers or surrounding tissue.
It is intended to treat small areas of stubborn fat in the thigh, buttock, abdomen and back regions that are resistant to diet and exercise, as a non-invasive body contouring procedure. It is not a replacement for liposuction.
Focused ultrasound at an operation frequency of 2MHz and over 2000 W/cm2 of energy. This is more powerful than the earlier market entrant, Ultrashape® at 0.2MHz.
The object of the LipoSonix® technology is to achieve targeted reduction of fatty tissue by precisely focusing ultrasound energy to cause permanent disruption to fat cells, or adipocytes, without damage to the epidermis, dermis or underlying tissues and organs.
A custom-designed transducer delivers ultrasound energy across the skin’s surface at a relatively low intensity so that no damage is caused, and then brings this energy to a sharp, high intensity focus in the subcutaneous fat to effectively ablate the adipocytes.
Once the fat cells have been disrupted, chemotactic signals activate the body`s inflammatory response mechanisms and the liquid fatand cell debris is transport away and flushed from the body over time. This results in an overall reduction in the volume of local fatty tissue in the treated area.
Treatment sessions last approximately 30 – 60 minutes for a full abdomen.
The treatment is said to be tolerable and no anaesthesia is required.
U.S. FDA approval yet to be applied for.
Abdomen, e.g., tummy, waist etc.
It is not a treatment for obesity or a weight loss cure.
The results (e.g., circumferential reduction in the abdomen) are seen gradually over the first 8-12 weeks, though it may take several months (from 4-6 months) for the maximum effects to be seen. This is because your body continues to process and naturally remove the released fat.
Results achieved with this procedure can be permanent as long as a sensible diet and exercise is maintained to avoid future weight gain. Although top-up or maintenance treatments can be had over the years; additional treatments are not recommended for at least 6 months after the initial treatment.
The treatment is generally not considered to be painless, but tolerable. During treatment you may experience feelings of cold, prickling, tingling, warmth, discomfort or pain. Your practitioner may pause briefly between individual energy applications to reduce discomfort.
The most common post-treatment side effects include temporary erythema (redness), mild bruising, discomfort, and oedema (swelling). Tenderness and haematomas (collections of blood under the skin) have been reported which resolved quickly.
Those with a coagulation disorder, using anticoagulants or platelet inhibitors or who have an implanted electrical device, such as a pacemaker.
Those with a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 30, i.e. clinically classified as obese.
The treatment is not suitable in areas with less than 1cm of fatty tissue beyond the selected treatment depth, or in areas previously treated with injection lipolysis, liposuction, abdominoplasty or other surgery (including laparoscopic), or where hernia, implanted material, sensory loss or dysesthesia (an abnormal sensation to touch) is present.
Treatment is also contraindicated for people with cancer or systemic disease.
More often than not, one treatment session per area is considered to be enough to produce a reduction in the circumference measurements; however it all depends on if it is felt that the final result needs improving on or not.
Private costs for treatment with LipoSonix® depends on the size of the area(s) being treated, and the number of areas that you have done in one treatment session, typically one area of the body will cost on average £2,000.

In 1997 Tracy Reese launched her eponymous clothing collection and embarked on a journey that would see her become an internationally celebrated designer. Countless women from around the world, as well as Hollywood starlets like Gabrielle Union, Tracee Ellis Ross and Kelly Rowland, wear her bold, beautiful and ultrafeminine ensembles. And as we know, former First Lady Michelle Obama is also a Reese devotee.
In fact, the moment Mrs. Obama stepped onstage at the 2012 Democratic National Convention wearing a sleeveless pink and teal silk–jacquard frock by Reese, the New York City–based designer became a household name. And Obama’s penchant for wearing Reese’s work continued to make history. The red and black floral dress Obama donned during the fiftieth anniversary of the March on Washington is now on display at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History & Culture. Mrs. O has also donated several of her favorite Reese creations to the National Archives.
The Parsons School of Design alum says she will continue creating, of course, but also intends to carve out more time for her other passions such as getting more into activism, spending time in her hometown of Detroit, and helping to push the industry into the future by focusing on sustainability and empowering women designers and designers of color.
Sadly the lack of diversity in the fashion industry is underscored when you consider that Reese is one of the few Black designers who have sustained a high level of success for such a long time. Thus it’s essential to celebrate the significance of Reese’s presence in fashion as well as in the Black community.
“You feel proud in a Tracy Reese dress. You feel confident in a Tracy Reese dress. Most important, you feel pretty in a Tracy Reese dress—and making Black women feel pretty for decades is pretty radical,” says Reese’s friend and image activist Michaela angela Davis.
That squad of close friends—who are stars in their own right—includes fellow fashion designer Byron Lars, fashion activist and founder of the Diversity Coalition Bethann Hardison, fashion journalist and author Teri Agins, director and chief curator of the Studio Museum in Harlem Thelma Golden and philanthropist and author Susan Fales-Hill.
If the past 20 years are any indication of what’s to come, then Reese and the women who love to be wrapped in her wares are in for a beautiful ride.

Three bills in the legislature would change the state’s minimum wage law, but Republicans and Democrats are far from finding common ground.
A bill in the Senate, sponsored by Democratic Sen. Donna Soucy, would increase the minimum wage — currently pegged to the federal minimum of $7.25 per hour — to $8.50 per hour by Sept. 1, to $10 on March 1, 2018, and $12 by Sept. 1, 2018.
Another bill in the House, sponsored by Democratic Rep. Doug Ley, would raise it to $9.50 by Jan. 1, 2018. It would then go up $12 by 2019 and then grow incrementally based on the consumer price index from 2020 onward.
But with Republicans in control of state government at all levels, neither bill is likely to pass. So apart are the two parties on this issue that Republican state Rep. Norman Silber has proposed repealing the entirety of the state’s minimum wage law, which would only affect businesses not engaged in interstate commerce.
Both Ley and Silber say their goal is to help the local economy.
While Ley is realistic about the near-zero chance of his bill getting passed this year, he said it was still worth submitting as a way to keep the conversation going.
For Ley, raising the minimum wage would help the struggling working class and retain young people who are leaving the state for better pay elsewhere.
“We’re becoming the low-wage repository in New England,” Ley said.
Silber agrees something needs to be done to retain the workforce, but he believes raising the minimum wage would shoot the local economy in the foot. Silber said a higher minimum runs the risk of encouraging more companies to turn toward greater automation with the end result being fewer jobs to go around. He pointed to companies like McDonald’s and Bank of America, which have signaled an interest in moving in that direction.
These arguments fall within the common ideological fault lines dividing this issue, but what makes New Hampshire’s case different is that its current minimum wage law is as stripped as it can reasonably be without being entirely repealed. The only thing Silber hopes to accomplish by doing away with the law is to give small businesses in New Hampshire that do not engage in interstate commerce the ability to pay even lower rates than the $7.25 per hour set by the federal government.
But Silber concedes the change would be more symbolic since wages are, at least in theory, a bargain and sale between employer and prospective employee and the prevailing wages are already well above the minimum.
In other words, if a fast food restaurant is having trouble hiring at $8 per hour, it’s not likely anyone would accept a job for $2 per hour.
But based on the initial hearing for Silber’s repeal bill, he isn’t expecting it to pass either.
The last scientific poll by the UNH Survey Center gauging what Granite Staters think about raising the minimum wage was in February 2014.
At the time, the poll asked participants about a specific plan that would raise the minimum to $8.25 the first year and $9 the second year. The vast majority, 76 percent, were in favor and 13 percent opposed it.
More recently, a non-scientific social media poll was taken by Citizens Count that tells a different story. When asked if the state should raise its minimum wage to $9.50 by 2018 (Soucy’s proposal), 62 percent said no and 38 percent said yes.
Respondents were self-selected and not part of a random sample.

Special Educational Needs and Disability Mediation Standards – a joint project of the College of Mediators and Civil Mediation Council. .
For the last few years, discussions have taken place about whether civil and commercial mediators should have, or be required to have supervisors, mentors or practice consultants.
The CMC's CEO, Paul Adams, is consulting members about the future direction of the CMC. In order to hear the views of as many people who want to give them, Paul is conducting a number of consultations in small groups via video conference in the w/c 3rd December.
The National Mediation Awards took place in Mediation Awareness Week, in early October. The event, which the CMC jointly hosted with the College of Mediators, proved to be a fantastic celebration of excellence across all mediation sectors.
David Richbell, mediator, trainer and mentor and CMC Director died on 25th September 2018.
David had an illustrious mediation career and gave much to the mediation community in the UK and further afield.
The CMC Workplace and Employment group invite you to join us at Cardiff Metropolitan University to share insights into how to make mediation approaches the default option in workplace and employment disputes.
Acas and the Civil Mediation Council are delighted to invite you to join us at Trinity Chambers on the quayside to hear leading speakers share their unique experiences of mediation when dealing with conflict in the workplace.
The National Mediation Awards 2018 takes place on 9th October 2018 and nominations are now open. The awards celebrate excellence in mediation.
The CMC has submitted written evidence to parliament’s Women and Equalities Committee’s Inquiry in to Sexual Harassment in the Workplace on the question of ‘The advantages and disadvantages of using non-disclosure agreements in sexual harassment cases, including how inappropriate use of such agreements might be tackled’.
The CMC and the College of Mediators, supported by the Department of Education, operate a joint SEND accreditation scheme which sets professional standards for SEND mediators.
Mediation Awareness Week takes place from 6 – 12 October 2018. Mediators are encouraged to organise events that increase the public’s awareness of mediation; these are promoted on the MAW’s website for a small fee.

Visiting rice terraces was one of the main highlights in China for us. There are lots of spots to see them in Yuanyang county (Yunnan province). We choose a small village called Xinjie as our base for three nights. To get there, we took a very early morning long-distance bus from Kunming for 140 CNY pp. The coach itself was OK, but the journey was similar to the previous ones and therefore far from pleasant. Eight hours on board where the driver is constantly smoking, other passengers make disgusting sounds and stop is always at the most filthy toilets you could imagine. Luckily the views outside the window were spectacular as the bus climbed up to the mountains.
It is not big, but quite living village which is ranging along the steep road. There is a central square with few opportunities to eat. Our favourite was eatery where you take a bowl of rice and choose 5 of the many kinds of vegetables and meat.
The bus terminal is 2 minutes walk from the square. We had an excellent accommodation in Chang family guesthouse just 20 meters to the left if you exit the terminal. The room for 60 CNY was nice and clean, but the main benefit was our huge terrace with a fantastic view of the valley. The fun part of the accommodation is the bathroom. We had to stand on the toilet while taking a shower, literally. It made a bit discomfort feeling that you are still dirty after using it 😁 (at least it was Asian style, so you did not have to balance on the edge).
The next day we went to explore what we came for. We visited the place in autumn before harvest. The other good option is in winter when terraces are full of water and reflecting the sky. Both has its magic. For the first day, we opt for off the beaten track (I believe to Jinzhuzhai, village) also because the weather forecast wasn’t favourable. Just before the bus station, we turned right from the main road. Then we continued on the road further to the end of the village, and on the fork, we kept left. We only met some locals like old ladies returning from the fields with water buffalos.
After a few minutes, it started to rain. We tried to hide under the trees, but it did not work for long. Suddenly a guy with a sickle came to us. Fortunately, he didn’t want to kill us but to save us. He pointed with his tool into the bushes and talked something in Chinese. We could not lose anything, so we followed the small path. After a few meters, we encountered a small wooden shelter for farmers. Hurray! We sat there for about one hour watching the pouring rain falling on the fields, which looked like even greener than before.
Later we followed the road along with many areas with beautiful views to the valley. Small villages were settled around. Interestingly, every house had the same colour. Strolling through narrow tiny streets where you can encounter pig or buffalo, is fun. The only sad thing is that garbage is everywhere. Around the houses, in the ditches, streams and also on the rice terraces. Plastics are doom for China.
After a few hours of crisscrossing the countryside and because of the not ending heavy rain we returned to our guest house.
Sadly, as usual in China, nothing is free, even the natural sights like rice fields. The best spots to see them are from the viewing platforms. The fee was 100 Yuan for all five platforms in Yuanyang area in one day. One thing to be mentioned. Just above the Xinjie, there is a tourist centre where they try to force you to buy an “entrance fee” for the villages. However, we learned, the price is for the official viewing platforms. In theory, if you want to skip them, you don’t need to pay. There is no gate on the road, no signs that you must stop and tourist centre is aside. Anyway, there are employees on the road pointing you to the counter.
At the end of our first-day trail, we made a short detour which led us along the tourist centre. Walking by, we were asked by some officials to buy tickets to carry-on. On the open main road to the villages with no sign nor turnpike?!? No way guys. After a Chinese – Google Chinese arguments we just continued, leaving the yelling guys behind us.
The next day we wanted to explore more remote terraces, so we decided to take a shared van. In spite of we woke up to milky fog weather. As in almost every country, also there are taxi drivers not the nice guys and try to cheat you. We asked one of the guys who parked in front of the bus terminal. He asked for 60 Yuan although the Duoyishu village was only 27 km. We refused and went away, but he followed us in his car. After negotiating, we ended up with usual 20 Yuan. We got on, ready to depart. However, he started to find other passengers to cut the costs. After a few minutes, we rode to the main square to seek. Again no luck. Poor guy. No surprise for us. There was an incredible amount of vans and taxis in the village. With a bit pissed off driver we finally departed.
Just before the tourist office mentioned above, our taxi driver told us to close the windows and passed by without any attention. In reality, 100 Yuan is not incredibly much, but as the matter of principle, we refused to pay and not be organised. Despite we won’t see everything from the best angle on the viewing platforms. During the journey, we passed the fields in Bada village, where is an official viewing platform and we saw one free, where we wanted to go on the way back.
We got off the taxi close to the Duoyishu village. The platform there was under renovation. It is big unattractive structure violently placed in the landscape. Of course with a dense tall hedge to avoid any look from every angle. It is maybe the best spot to take pictures, but who cares. There are lots of places available around with beautiful views in the walking distance. Indeed, in a car, it is much easier and quicker. As a day before we had to return earlier than we wanted because of fog and rain. We tried to hitchhike, but without a piece of luck. After a few hours of hiding and walking we reach the free platform close to Quanfu village, but through the fog, we saw nothing. Luckily some family on vacation took us the rest 10 km.
This part of China is undoubtedly wonderful with its nature. And despite the miserable weather, we enjoyed it very much.

On World Environment Day, EarthCheck, the world’s leading benchmarking and certification program for the tourism and travel industry, will acknowledge the pioneering role in sustainability played by Sandals Hotels and Resorts Group in the Caribbean.
The small island resorts, located in Antigua, Barbuda, Jamaica and Saint Lucia, face threats brought on by climate change. This includes rising sea levels that have the potential to wipe out the golden beaches that attract millions of tourists annually.
Mr Stewart Moore, CEO and founder of EarthCheck, said that on World Environment Day, EarthCheck is celebrating the leadership of Sandals Resorts & Beach Resorts in addressing the challenge of climate change.
“For ten years Sandals resorts have used the EarthCheck platform to develop initiatives that support sustainability and the need to minimise their environmental impact.
Mr Moore said the results from some of the properties were impressive.
“Sandals Negril located in Jamaica understands that water supply is critical; they implemented initiatives that put them above best practice for water conservation in their sector.
Denisha Powell, Environmental Health and Safety Manager from Sandals Negril, said in addition to water, Sandals Negril has made a huge effort to minimise waste sent to landfill.
“In 2012, we sent 1,507,690.8 litres of waste to landfill. By 2013, this figure was decreased to 751,922.3 litres. We effectively halved our waste to landfill; that is we reduced our waste to landfill by 755,768.5 litres. This amount of rubbish could fill seven double decker buses,” said Ms Powell.
Sandals Negril will highlight their commitment to minimising waste to landfill with the launch of a community-wide recycling initiative on World Environment Day.
Jonathan Joseph, the Environmental Health and Safety Manager for a second Sandals property, Sandals Halcyon Beach St Lucia, said his property is also focusing on recycling water and waste.
“We have established a wastewater treatment plant that uses hotel waste water – this water is used on the hotel grounds and gardens, as well as on a small plant nursery that also uses composting waste from the hotel.
“Oil from our kitchens is collected and used to make biodiesel off-site.
By minimising their environmental impact, these Sandals resorts and hotels echo the mission of Sandals Foundation, a non-for-profit foundation established by Sandals CEO that aims to reduce the problems faced by the Caribbean.
EarthCheck is proud to celebrate the achievements of these small island members who have taken positive steps towards reducing their impact on their environment.
The Sandals Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was created to continue and to expand upon the philanthropic work that Sandals Resorts International has undertaken. It is the culmination of three decades of dedication to playing a meaningful role in the lives of the communities where we operate across the Caribbean. The Sandals Foundation funds projects in three core areas: education, community and the environment. One hundred percent of the monies contributed by the general public to the Sandals Foundation go directly to programs benefiting the Caribbean community.

On this day in 1958, the F-4 Phantom II had its first flight.
The F-4 Phantom II is a two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather, long-range supersonic interceptor/fighter/bomber that was originally developed for the Navy by McDonnel Aircraft. It entered service with the Navy in 1960 and, after proving how highly adaptable the aircraft was, was also adopted by the US Marine Corps and the US Air Force. By the mid 1960’s, it had become a major part of their perspective airwings.
The F-4 saw extensive use in the Vietnam War as an air superiority fighter for the Navy and Air Force and also in ground-attack and reconnaissance roles late in the war. The F-4 holds the distinction of being the last fighter of the 20th century that was flown to achieve “ace” status, with the USAF having one pilot and two WSO’s and the USN having one pilot and one RIO achieve five aerial kills. It also holds the distinction of being the only aircraft to serve with both the US Navy Blue Angels (who flew the F-4J from 1969-1974) and the US Air Force Thunderbirds (who flew the F-4E from 1969-1973).
One major issue with the F-4 Phantom was the copious amounts of black smoke the original J-79 engines produced at military power, making the F-4 very easy for enemy forces to spot. To address this issue in combat, pilots would run one engine at reduced power and the other at afterburner. This produced an equivalent amount of thrust as running both engines at regular power and eliminated the smoke. This issue was rectified with the upgrade to the J-79-GE-17 smokeless engines that were installed in the F-4 starting in 1972.
The F-4 remained a major component of US air power until it began to be replaced by more modern aircraft, mainly the F-14 Tomcat, F/A-18 Hornet, F-15 Eagle and F-16 Falcon. The F-4 Phantom is currently in service as the QF-4 Phantom II and is being used as a remotely piloted aircraft for use in surface-to-air and air-to-air missile tests.
And, on a personal, note… PHANTOMS PHOREVER!!!!

"Quien canta, sus males espanta"
"He who sings frightens away his ills"
“I really enjoyed the workshop. I was glad to hear someone else using a direct no nonsense approach to the chakra system as it all made absolute sense to me relating to my own personal experience.
"My dear Simon - thank you - I can not say how much your sound healing workshop has helped me in these past few weeks - I am indebted to you. Thank you."
"I attended a two day workshop of yours on sound healing in Birmingham. The memory of that weekend has remained with me as one of the single most inspirational events on my spiritual search."
"As a definitely not 'sandals and candles' type of person, yet one who is open to different types of experience through Spice, I went along to this workshop with a fairly open mind.
I'm really glad I booked the event and very much enjoyed it. Very relaxing and focusing; so much so that I can easily believe it would promote healing. I don't know if we were a 'better' than average group, but good vibes and a supportive atmosphere were very much in evidence. I would certainly do the event again."
"Thanks so very much for the workshop at the week-end, its after-effects I am still experiencing and hopefully will be for a long time to come. No word can describe how powerful it was and it was only when I returned home I fully realised this.
Your book is fantastic. I would so love maybe in time when I have done more work on myself to work in this area. I am back doing a teachers diploma in the violin after years of not playing. I have no intention of teaching it and I really do not know where this is fully leading me.
Are there any courses on this in Ireland? Will you be returning to us? It all seems to make so much sense. I work as a practice nurse and medication fails so badly so often, a combination of all would be fantastic. Let me know of anything you know of in this area. Thanks you for the start on a great road of healing through music/voice."
"It was my pleasure to do your workshop last weekend. I've had a wonderful week. I've been trying to convince the team I row with, to use our Chi energy to skim the boat across the water! I'll introduce sounds next week.
Dee and I went to the beach on Tuesday evening and were doing some of the chanting at the seashore. It was a magnificent sunset with the beautiful nearly full moon rising above the mountain directly opposite. Thanks for bringing me into that beautiful connected space.
I am delighted you like the space so much and it would be wonderful to have you back again. I'm sure with the feedback from this workshop that we could have another of the same in the autumn if that fitted your schedule. Looking forward to seeing you here again."
"Thank you so much Simon for the wonderful evening at the Birmingham Yes Group yesterday I feel quite renewed. Your sound techniques just connected me back to everything that I'd lost touch with. I am indeed an irresistible dynamo of Joy !!!!"
"I thoroughly enjoyed the course the course at Runnings Park in June. I found it very much an opportunity for experiential learning and great to try such a number of chanting and sound techniques. It seemed a rare treat to have the opportunity for such long meditations over a couple of days. Anyway, thanks once again and good luck with your future work."
"Thank you for a lovely day on Saturday at Coleford. I enjoyed it immensely. You obviously love what you do, which made me feel enthusiastic. Thank you."
"It has been really nice meeting you at the British Wheel of Yoga congress. I enjoyed your workshops very much, and I believe I wasn't the only one. I feel you have been able to answer some question regarding the approach of sound in healing that I had in my heart for quite a while.
I will come to some more workshops in the future, because I believe in the effectiveness of your practise. I love your direct approach, I find it very in tune with nature, and therefore particularly close and spontaneous (although it may have required you so many years of research and travelling)."
"On behalf of the British Wheel of Yoga, I would like to take this opportunity of thanking you for the valuable contribution your sessions made to the overall success of this year's event.
I received many uplifting comments and do hope that you were able to feel part of the wonderful energy and joy generated by so many."
"First of all I am writing to say how much I enjoyed your workshop at Claridge House which was not only enjoyable but also convinced me of the benefits of sound healing. You may recall that you have me a healing session on the Sunday morning and I am delighted to say that the pain in my hip which was giving me so much trouble has not reappeared."
Anne -"Fantastic knowledge, sweet and powerful chanting and meditation. Amazing grace. Good fun.
Jill -"A fantastic weekend, please get Simon back for parts I & II !"
Sonya - "Inspirational. Feeling that a 'band of angels coming after me'."
Lesley - "Thank you Simon! I especially enjoyed the chakra meditation."
Jean - "Many thanks. It has given me plenty to think about. I will sing every day. Promise."
Dave - "Thank you very much for my healing session. I feel I have learnt a lot."
"A big thank-you for such a wonderful two days. I know I received much benefit from them. I enclose a cheque for the Sacred Chants CD. Many thanks and I hope to be on a Part 2 whenever."
"It was a most amazing and enlightening evening. Thank you so much."
"I just wanted to thank you again for the workshop. It was lovely to have a space to 'just be'.. The energy you bring in is lovely."
"I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the weekend workshop at Stourbridge. I have been doing the sound meditation every day since I arrived home. I am pleased to tell you that I can feel my energies shifting while I am meditating and also the affects of it for some time after. Thanks very much. I can't wait for January and Part 2"
"Thank you for the wonderful weekend. I am so excited to be finally finding my voiceI thank you from the bottom of my heart."
"I took your level 1 class at Langara College in October 2001 and bumped into you on the ferry ride to Victoria some time later. I have been reading your books and others! And hope to further my studies in one form or another.
I also wanted to tell you how much the weekend I attended your workshop had a positive impact on my life. I thank you for sharing your knowledge in all sincerity."
"Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend course which everybody thoroughly enjoyed. There was a lovely, relaxed and friendly atmosphere throughout the weekend because of your leadership. Usually I send a letter of thanks to course tutors but I am not sure to which address to send it so thought email would be safer. Enjoy Canada this summer and I look forward to meeting you again in November"
"Thank you for the wonderful workshop at Claridge House. It was really good to meet you. I found your presence and personality uplifting and reassuring. Good luck with your future life moves. Please send me your book 'God Am I. The Journey to Self Realisation' and your 'Sacred Chants' CD and booklet."
I know you have a very busy schedule but I would like to ask you to review my enclosed practicum so you can tell to release my certificate as soon as possible, for I want to dedicate myself full time to the practice of sound healing. I hope we will meet again."
"Thank you for a lovely healing welcoming weekend last week. Since the Soul Retrieval I feel that a part of me has been returned to me. So thank you for helping me feel that I do come from a holy place, instead of wanting that but feeling an inconceivable missing within.
And thank you too for the love and sharing we have when we are together, for our beautiful voices and the togetherness of the chants and dances. I followed my intuitive guidance and suggested the Dances of Universal Peace to an old friend. So thank you also for boosting my confidence in my Self."
"Thank you for the wonderful weekend playshop (I am loathe to call it a workshop as it felt so much like play) on Dec 1 and 2 in Victoria. The weekend has made a tremendous difference in my life. Most notably, my heart staying open for longer stretches and I am more open to feeling when it is not open. This is great progress!
It has really made me much more conscious of the part that sound plays in my life. I am now doing joyous daily exercises with my voice and choosing the music on my CD player and cassette deck with much greater care. Both of these actions are paying (sound) dividends daily.
Also, I am meeting a higher quality of prospective client in my consulting practice. Not only are they qualified economically for my services but I tend to end up in 2 hour conversations about life, healing and spirituality over the phone with kindred spirits when the purported purpose of the call was to discuss business.
I have found that I am allowing myself to relax more and not worry so much about projecting my voice. In doing so, I find much more depth and emotion and a quality of calmness and peace in my voice and being. This also feels the same with my business and personal spiritual journeys.
The skin condition I have been challenged with for a decade and a half has not needed the regular doses of the herbal remedy I have been giving it. Some deep underlying cause has started to heal. I am more open to my wife and to loving her more and, in being open to the hurt of my heart closing down when it does, I am able to persevere in my voice and other exercises to open it again sooner, rather than wallowing in self pity and pain for extended periods.
My hat is off to you Simon. You are doing wonderful work. I am enjoying the book and tape and CD also. I look forward to level 2 eagerly."
"We want to thank you again for your wonderful workshop. We really enjoyed it. You know what, we have stopped smoking on the Chinese New Year. YipiieehhhCould you please let us know the title of the book you were mentioning about the Shaman. Thanks a lot."
"Thanks again for the lovely weekend. I haven't had such a good weekend for a long time. It felt like one of the retreats I used to go when my Buddhist teacher did come to Europe. When she stopped coming to Europe I lost touch with the spiritual world. I know, now is the time to reconnect.
I went round the hill again this morning singing and will do the Chakra meditation as soon as there is peace in the house. Sound healing feels very good and I wish to be healed by it. I am very grateful for any advice/guidance/help and look forward to hear from you."
"I'm just writing to say how much I enjoyed your sound healing workshop last weekend. The pain from my Crohns disease has disappeared although I have come out with a thick cold. I wonder if you could email me the words you use before and after treating someone regarding being a channel for the person's healing. I didn't write them down at the time as I thought I would remember them! Thank you."
"I really enjoyed the workshop. I thought I was coming for one thing and as usual something better came out of it. as I've started to instinctively use sound in my healing methods, I am looking forward to gaining more insights into how it all works."
"We did our Earth Medicine unit last week, and I presented sound healing to the class. It was a re-sounding success! They loved all the material. I also made a streaming audio file of a warm up, some toning, and chanting OM, that they could listen to and participate in. Then we had them go out into nature and do a ritual to connect with the land, including toning OM to connect with the messages and truth in nature.
I'm so thankful to you for making this material available. It was good for me to spend some time with your work again, and has given me a renewed appreciation for the healing power of mantra and the voice. One of the students would like to order your "Sounds of the Chakras" CD. She lives in Michigan and would like to use your CD for a healing workshop she is facilitating there this summer."
"I think I am turning into a sound junkie! It's way up there with Green & Blacks. I love the CD, I tend to be - why do today what can be done tomorrow, but after chanting suddenly things get done, if I suddenly start organising things I will have a severe identity crisis!
Amazingly I have done 12 sessions I seem to have 3 people who are keen for regular sessions, I find it very exciting and my energy is very good afterwards, never tired or drained, it seems to take me into a deeper focus than my regular healing does.
Sometimes its as if the notes want to go deep inside whereas as a singer I would want to sing out, sometimes I feel the notes circling. So thank you for a wonderful weekend."
“Please would you send me a copy of the 'Sacred Chants' CD and book. I've enclosed a cheque. I wanted to say how much I enjoyed the course in July, it was really opening for me and I feel like it's the beginning of a pathway from which I will gain much.
I thought you might like to know one effect of your chakra meditation / healing tape. I played it to my husband (he's done a fair bit of martial arts and meditation) he started off being a bit jokey but by the end he was toning away with tears pouring down his cheeks and he said he'd never come across anything so pure and natural.
“We spoke on the phone in March when you were here in Sydney. I was the one with the vocal blocks, as you picked up on the phone. Because of this I was always reluctant to use the phone and preferred email or writing, and my social life was hampered a little. For the past six weeks I've been practising the laughing segment on your CD about twice a week, each time practising it twice or three times in a row.

3 Strategies For Examining the Family Bible | Are You My Cousin?

Are you one of the fortunate researchers to have the family Bible in your possession?
Yes? You are a lucky one!
The family Bible can and often does provide birth, marriage and death dates for family members.
Have you ever considered what else the Bible may or may not tell the researcher? Is the information found in the Family Bible accurate? Is the information a primary or secondary source?
Let’s look at three tips for evaluating the information in a Family Bible.
1. Examine the fly leaf or title page.
In the example above, the Bible is dated 1853. This date gives us a vital clue as to who in the family started this Family Bible. This particular Bible belonged to Caswell Harward and Mary Adline Thomas who were married on 7 Dec 1854.
Remember the 1853 date. We will make reference to it again below.
2. Examine the handwriting of the entries.
Are all the entries made in the same handwriting indicating the same person recorded each entry?
In the Harward example, this page of birth recordings was written in the same handwriting indicating the same person made these entries. Beginning with the second page of births, a different handwriting is seen indicating a different person made these entries.
3.Examine the dates of the the earliest births, marriages, and deaths.
Using this initial birth record page again, notice all the dates for each person listed took place prior to the Bible’s publication date of 1853. James Harward’s birth date of 1760 and death date of 1840 precedes the date of the Bible publication by 13 years. The same holds true for the second entry of Rosannah Barbee (b. 1756). [Rosannah Barbee was the first wife of James Harward and died in 1828.] All the dates for each person listed on this first page precede 1853. This tells the us this information was likely all entered at the same time and by the same person. The specific dates given show the recorder had intimate first hand knowledge of the Harward family for at least two generations prior to Caswell Harward. Given this first hand knowledge, the family information is considered to be a solid source.
Do you have any interesting Family Bible stories or insights? Leave a comment below and let’s continue the discussion.
To make the Family Bible pages easier to read, I edited digital copies of the pages you see above in PicMonkey. Read how to use PicMonkey to read historical documents here. You can use any photo editing programs in a similar way.
Check out these other posts of interest!
I have a family bible with the publication date much later than the family information entered. The family information was written by same person. But included in the bible was a piece from another family bible which was apparently cut out of that earlier bible. Handwriting in that scrap of the page is different for each entry and with different colored ink. I have no idea where the original bible is. The father left his family in about 1862 and never returned. Perhaps the wife was so upset over his deserting her that she tossed out that bible but kept that portion of the family information.
That’s interesting about the scrap of a previous family Bible. It does make one wonder as the reason the pages were taken out of the original Bible.
All events happened in Washington, D.C.
1 Two boys with a different last names were listed. I found out that my grandmother (Mary Connors, who died in 1916) was married to a Thomas Ganey (1888) before she married my grandfather, Elmer Gardner, in 1891 and had 2 boys.
2. A girl is listed as my grandfather’s daughter prior to his marriage to my grandmother.
1. One Ganey boy disappeared after the 1910 Federal Census, the other after a marriage in 1920.
2. Unable to find any information about the first daughter of my grandfather’s daughter, Lydia Gardner, born on June 11, 1887 or my grandfather’s prior marriage.
So interesting! Usually we think of family Bibles as answering questions, not creating more!

Bonefishing: Yeah, so, not that hard | Hatch Magazine - Fly Fishing, etc.
In my experience, there's a significantly widespread misconception amongst uninitiated anglers that catching bonefish is extraordinarily difficult. You'd likely be hard pressed to find many anglers that have spent time casting to bonefish that would agree, yet the misconception seems to persist. I've even seen this message perpetuated by bonefish guides and outfitters which, for a business that relies on attracting anglers to their brand of fly fishing, seems like an awful strategy. The result is that novice, intermediate and even some experienced anglers place hunting bonefish on their "can't do" list thanks to its perceived difficulty. Well, I'm here to set the record straight. As it turns out, bonefishing? Yeah, not that hard.
Bonefish are known to virtually all fly anglers as one of the most sought after species across the globe thanks to the ubiquitous dissemination of tales of bright silver bonefish tearing off line, disappearing backing at alarming rates, burning up reels and so on. Add in the fact that all this is happening on a sun bleached, sandy flat somewhere in the tropics and it isn't hard to paint a terribly appealing picture. Unfortunately, these wholly accurate tales about hooking up bonefish also typically include 80 foot casts, often in gale force winds, that need to land on a dinner-plate sized target. That's the part of the story where many a trout fisherman, even some pretty damned good ones, thinks "I can't do that" and checks out. No bonefish in their future.
But guess what? These are fishing tales. Am I saying that it is untrue that catching some bonefish requires you to be able to drop a 70 or 80 foot cast on a dinner plate? No. I'm saying that catching many a bonefish doesn't. I've caught bonefish at 60 feet (okay, maybe 40) while fighting a nasty crosswind but I've also caught bonefish with a roll cast at 15 feet. I've put a long cast spot on the target and failed to get an eat almost as often as I've blown the cast 10 feet behind and/or short of the fish I was aiming for, only to have that fish completely reverse direction and backtrack to go pick up my fly.
As noted, the advice from many a bonefish outfitter conspires to make the picture seem even more bleak for the trout angler that has yet to walk a bonefish flat. Anglers are encouraged to practice casting before coming. Perfect the double haul. Learn to cast better in the wind. Develop pinpoint accuracy. In general, "go big or go stay home." The advice here is all good -- as doing all of these things will serve to improve your chances for success and bolster your trip -- it is just poorly delivered. Bad marketing.
The reality is that catching bonefish on the fly isn't that hard. Yes, the more advanced your skills are, the more success you're likely to have. That much is simple common sense. The important point to note is that anglers at almost any skill level can catch bonefish. Even novice anglers. Bonefish generally aren't picky about pattern or presentation and there's lots of them out there. The hardest part of catching a bonefish is putting yourself there, committing to do it.
Is all this to suggest that I'm recommending you dump $4,000 into a bonefishing trip if you just picked up a fly rod a few months ago? Probably not. But, if you're reasonably comfortable with your casting and are having success on the stream, you're likely up to the task. And, if you're one of those guys that has been stomping along the streambank in waders for ages but still thinks they're not angler enough to chase bonefish? Wake up. Get to it.
If you've been contemplating taking the plunge, here are a few suggestions for upping your chances for success as a first timer.
As I mentioned, there are lots of bonefish. There's also lots of places to go chase them. And while bonefish aren't picky eaters, they're just as susceptible to pressure as any other fish and thus are generally more difficult to catch when they see a lot of anglers. Whether it is seeking out the quiet spots in the Bahamas or heading to other lesser known destinations, traveling to chase bonefish that don't see many flies can dramatically change the picture. On a recent trip to Anegada in the British Virgin Islands, we chased bonefish on many a flat, seeing school after school of bonefish without ever seeing a single other angler. The bonefish didn't either. Can you still expect to catch bonefish in the Keys at that popular lodge you've been dreaming about? Sure. But if you're looking to increase your comfort level, seeking out dumber (read: less pressured) bonefish can help.
Yes, I just got done telling you that you don't need to be an expert caster. I meant it. But, if you're more comfortable with your casting, you'll be more comfortable investing in a bonefishing trip. Head out on a few windy days and practice techniques for casting in the wind until you have a reasonable handle on them. Improve, or discover, the double haul. Work on shooting line and reducing your false casting. Must you do this in order to go? No. But you'll feel better about it if you do.
You might be tempted to try a DIY bonefish outing in an effort to reduce the financial investment for your first bonefish trip. After all, if you're not ready, why not hedge the potential damage? Bad idea. Yes, a guide will know the best spots to find fish and get you to those fish, but the most important thing a guide will help you do is see them.
One of the hardest things for an angler that's new to the flats is spotting fish. And the idea that "you can't catch what you can't see" is perhaps nowhere more true than on the flats. Be prepared to not see fish. Not at all. For a while. Your guide will see them, and he'll point them out to you. He'll tell you how far away they are and in what direction. For a while you'll keep telling him you can't see them. Still can't see them. Then for a while you'll lie and say you can, even though you can't. Eventually, your fish eye will come, but it takes time, and having someone who is experienced at spotting fish helping you through the process will speed it up significantly.
That DIY trip? Save it for down the road.
No way man, it's a perfect strategy for guides. If it sounded like it was easy, nobody would hire a guide! They have to make themselves necessary or there is no business!
Maybe in some areas, but I'd venture to say not in most. Bonefishing isn't like walking onto a stream -- there's almost always a boat involved. Even if you're not fishing from a boat, you still need to get to the flats you're going to fish. So, in many ways, the guide comes with the boat. That's what the angler needs most.
The guide has much, much more to offer ... but I think the need for boats makes bonefish guides somewhat indispensable as a rule.
Yes, there are DIY spots and DIY operations, but those are the exception, not the rule.
Yeah, have to agree. Catching bonefish didn't turn out to be the impossible task I expected it to be. That doesn't mean I caught 100, but I caught some each day I was out, which is MUCH MORE than I expected.
I've certainly fished to picky trout that were harder to catch.
The difficulty is related to location. You can't compare the difficulty of catching a bonefish on fly in the Florida Keys to the Bahamas or Belize. The bonefish in the Keys are larger on average and get much more pressure so the degree of difficulty in any conditions is greater. I've caught hundreds of Bonefish in the the upper Keys as well as the Bahama's. if you think you can go from your river to the Keys and catch a bonefish I'm not so sure. I've seen many try and it looks easier that it is. In the Bahamas or Belize no problem.

Spokesman V/O: You love your dog. And you cherish every moment you spend together — every fetch, every walk, every snuggle.
Spokesman V/O: But, hey — you’ve got bills to pay! That’s why, when you’re in the pet food aisle, you reach for Mostly Garbage brand dog food. Because your dog isn’t a person; he’s an animal.
Spokesman: And in these tough economic times, you’ve gotta keep your priorities straight.
Spokesman V/O: Mostly Garbage is cheaper than other dog foods. [ Spokesman turns his nose at the smell ] So you can save your money for human things, like heat for your house, or food for your children.
Spokesman: So, what does Mostly Garbage taste like? I don’t know. I’ve never tried it. It’s dog food.
Spokesman V/O: So, how healthy is Mostly Garbage? Well, it’s fortified with 8 essential vitamins, including Riboflavin. But, you know, there’s also a lot of garbage in there. Long story short: It’s healthy enough for a dog.
Spokesman V/O: You know, I’ve seen this little guy eat pure garbage?
Spokesman: Heck! This morning, he ate CAT POOP! Right out of the litter box! I was like, “Should I stop this?” But, you know, he seemed to be having a fun time!
