text: I finished reading The Golden Compass last night, just in time to watch The Golden Compass today. (When possible, I try to read before I watch. And I only regretted it that one time, with The Last of the Mohicans. Daniel Day Lewis made the storyline 800 times better.) Bygones. The movie was pretty decent, and the book was definitely fun. I may just stop reading adult books altogether and stick with juvenile fiction, instead. Hell, Anne of Green Gables is still one of my go-to books when I'm sick and I need a pick-me-up. (Or Pride and Prejudice. Yes, I am a girl.) Anyway, I had a point, and I'm getting to it: Before we went to the movie, I predicted to J.R. that Max would ask us afterwards about what we thought our daemons would be. Of course, I was right, and a few minutes after the movie ended, we were all pondering it in the car. I couldn't come up with anything because I'm lame, and we then moved on to the ever-popular "What would your patronus be?" and "What superpower would you have?" This is what happens when you hang out with kids, and read their damn books. They expect you to have the imagination you had when you were 12, and don't realize that you are 32 now, and lame.

We carry a range of handmade Vietnamese lacquerware including plates, bowls, wine bottle holders and dry mount photo albums.
Vietnamese people have used natural resin extracted from lacquer trees to produce lacquer products to serve everyday life for thousands of years and many lacquer products have been found in ancient tombs. The art of lacquerware was handed down from generation to generation as a family secret until the first half of the 20th century.
Today, Vietnamese lacquerware is meticulously handmade in just two villages north of Hanoi. Lacquer resin comes from lacquer trees found growing mostly in the North of Vietnam. When first extracted from a tree, the lacquer is a white, condensed like milk then turning brown in the air as it oxidises, and gradually becoming black when dried. Mixed with a solvent it becomes clear and hard when dried. Each piece usually goes through 20 stages, the process itself takes no less than 100 days, regardless of whether the end product is a large picture or a small chilli bowl.
Check out our range, plate sets and photo albums are currently on sale with 30% off.

PA chairman's spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh says Arabs' steadfastness have led to the thwarting of Trump's peace plan.
Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a spokesman for Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas, says that the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and the leadership’s commitment to national constants have led to the thwarting of the United States’ “Deal of the Century”, as the U.S. regional peace efforts have come to be known.
He claimed that if the deal had succeeded, it would have become a regional deal affecting all the peoples and countries of this region.
Abu Rudeineh, who was quoted by the PA news agency Wafa, made his claim in a statement on Saturday.
“The region is now at a crossroads to decide the fate of principle issues that affect the higher interests of its peoples, which some parties may jeopardize by creating a clear break up of nationalist position,” he said.
Abu Rudeineh warned those who are ready to interact with these plans that they will undermine the sovereignty and independence of some countries and the existence of parties and movement, which will eventually have some dire consequences.
“The commitment of the Palestinian leadership to the Palestinian and Arab choices and to our national principles will keep the hope of a nation that is still suffering and burning as a result of its lack of understanding and awareness of what has been planned for it for many years,” he stated, according to Wafa.
“The tension in the region and the prevailing chaos are a natural result of not solving the Palestinian issue. As long as Jerusalem is burning, the Arab world will continue to burn, which is contrary to the necessities of regional security,” warned Abu Rudeineh.
“It is necessary now is to restore the national spirit in the face of the sudden repercussions that the region may be exposed to, especially the U.S. blatant bias towards Israel and the imbalance of power. All these have created heavy burdens that we must all bear and confront in order to reach safety and provide a better future for the region and its peoples,” he said.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace initiative for Israel and the PA has been rejected by the PA, whose officials claim it was coordinated with Israel.
Hundreds of Palestinian Arabs recently rallied in Ramallah to express their support for Abbas’ rejection of the U.S. administration’s peace efforts.

UK government nervous about signing divorce papers with no commitment about the future.
LONDON — The message is clear: Play fair or pay the price.
Britain could refuse to pay its debts to the European Union after Brexit if Brussels reneges on its commitment to a future free-trade deal, according to three senior U.K. officials speaking on condition of anonymity.
The proposal, which is likely to anger Brussels, is being considered in Whitehall as an emergency insurance measure to protect the U.K. from a significant political snag in the U.K.’s Brexit strategy.
Under EU law, Brussels cannot agree a trade deal with the U.K. until it has left the bloc. However, this leaves the U.K. prime minister in the uncomfortable position of signing divorce papers — including committing to the “exit bill” — without a legal guarantee of what the new relationship will look like, something unpalatable to many MPs.
One senior U.K. official explained that Brussels needs to realize that without assurances about future trade, the exit treaty would be voted down by MPs.
“We need enough assurance on the future partnership to put it to the House of Commons,” the official said.
Two other senior government officials familiar with the U.K. negotiating strategy confirmed holding back money was being considered as an emergency measure should Brussels not hold up its side of the bargain.
A third official said holding back payments was “an option” but was not something the U.K. hoped would be necessary.
The U.K. prime minister’s official spokesman on Monday confirmed that while the U.K. accepted it could not formally sign the new trade agreement until after Brexit, it wanted commitments to future trade agreed in practice before Britain’s departure in March 2019.
To give the U.K. more certainty about the future relationship before it signs on the dotted line to leave, officials inserted a clause into the sufficient progress “joint report” in December that says Britain’s commitments to honor it financial obligations are conditional on the final exit treaty taking into account a "framework for the future relationship” agreed during Brexit negotiations.
Despite this clause, the U.K. would have little power to force the EU to honor its commitment once it has left the club. But the one piece of leverage the U.K. believes it retains is money.
The EU27 have long insisted the money it believes the U.K. owes is not a "Brexit bill," but rather legally required obligations that Britain signed up to while an EU member.
The Council's negotiating guidelines are also clear that any Brexit transition period is contingent on the U.K. respecting everything agreed previously "in full." Any threat to renege on the Brexit bill could therefore jeopardize the transition, which would be hugely problematic for the U.K.
Elsewhere at the top of the U.K. government there remains high-level concern about threatening to withhold payment. One aide said it was a “dangerous” plan that could play into the EU’s hands by threatening to do exactly what the U.K. is worried about — i.e. reneging on a deal.
The level of detail in the exit deal setting out the “framework” for the future EU-U.K. trading relationship will be crucial for May’s government to sell the package to MPs.
The European Parliament’s Brexit coordinator Guy Verhofstadt insisted Sunday it was in both side’s interest for it to be as detailed as possible.
Interviewed on the BBC’s Andrew Marr show, he was asked if a free-trade agreement was possible by the time the U.K. formally leaves the EU in March next year.
“I think what is possible by the 29th of March of next year, if everybody agrees with it, the British parliament, European Parliament, will be the withdrawal agreement," Verhofstadt said. "Inside that withdrawal agreement also an agreement on the transition. The transition for example of two years, at the end of 2020 or the beginning of 2021.

In strategy, it’s sometimes the little things that make you better. Here are 5 for the new year.
It’s the new year. 2016. And, of course with the new year comes a boatload of resolutions. Perhaps you want to lose weight, exercise more, leave the iPhone at home one day a week, go to church, play more, or spend more time with your kids. Resolutions of this sort come with a goal (pounds, hours, days, instances, etc.). But, how do you resolve to do something more abstract or squishy? How do you resolve to be a better person? How do you resolve to love your partner more?
Appropriate to this post, how do you resolve to be more strategic? Let me take that one and develop it in a way that almost anyone can use.
At its core, strategy is about perceiving, processing, and acting. There’s not much more. We conjure images of egghead strategists and eccentric chess grandmasters, often to create an aura around strategy. But, in reality three things define you as a strategist: perceiving, processing, and acting.
Perceiving means watching and listening. It means having the gumption to stop and understand. It means collecting data. It means having that moment of humility when you realize that you don’t know it all.
Processing means taking the time to assess position. It means drawing conclusions about what you know and don’t know. It mans being analytical, but in a way that ensures positive feedback loops toward the other two foundations of strategy (that would be perceiving and acting for those reading this before their first cup of coffee) Processing tells us whether it’s time to perceive more or to act more.
Acting means moving…hopefully forward (and, knowing that sometimes forward is backwards…or sideways…but I digress) We tend to think of strategy as planning; but it’s not. Not exactly. No great strategist omits action from his or her repertoire.
Yes, strategy is that simple… And it is magnificently complex once you dig into the myriad ways of perceiving, processing, and acting.
So, you are sitting here, at the start of 2016, wondering how you can be a more strategic businessperson. Let me offer you 5 little ways to do it. These are relevant for the entry level analyst and for the CEO. I’d bet that it’s a rare executive who does all 5 to start the year, so I hope there is something here for everyone.
Talk to 5 customers – That’s right, talk to 5 customers. But, I’m going to offer you a twist…You have to talk to them when there’s no deal on the line. Try talking to customers just to perceive and not to talk about your own value proposition or features or benefits. Go ahead, have a cup of coffee with 5 of your customers…just because. Ask questions. Try not to look too smart. You might learn something about what they need.
Talk to 5 competitors – This one is a bit more dicey, but in the same vein as the first one. Find a way to learn and share with market participants in your sector. You might (and I’ll emphasize might) uncover ways of growing the market. Treat competitors as competitors. But, try–just for a bit–to treat the game as one that involves a growing pool of opportunity vs. merely a zero sum scoreboard. You might surprise yourself.
Talk to 5 employees – This one sounds simple. It isn’t. Too many people say “I talk to employees all day long…” but what they mean is that they talk at employees all day long. They go to meetings, they issue perspectives and orders. What they don’t do is seek to understand. The more senior you are, the more isolated you get. Employee interactions start to look more like town halls and focus groups vs. human interactions. Taking time to ask questions and listen of individual employees is challenging. Your employees may not trust you enough to be honest…but they just might.
Outline the three risks you must manage in 2016 – Go ahead, make the list right now. Refine it as you talk to employees, competitors, and customers. Have a key person who isn’t happy? That’s a risk to manage. Have a key customer who may defect? Write it down. Learn something from your conversations in the market? Refine your view of risks.
Outline the three major moves you can make in 2016 – This is where perceiving and processing start to move to action. Take a moment, today, to define how you, individually, can make game changing moves. If this is about business strategy, perhaps we are talking about a product introduction or an acquisition of a fellow market participant. If this is about your individual career, perhaps we are talking about education or community service, or other enhancements to you as an individual. Write them down. Have a point of view on major moves. Avoid “business as usual” where you wake up and suddenly it’s August and you haven’t done a thing that looks strategic.
There you have it. 5 little ways to be more strategic in 2016. I figure that for the average manager or executive, the things I’ve listed above amount to 20 hours of conversation and contemplation. It amounts to upping your game on perceiving by listening to individuals you may only talk at. It amounts to upping your game on processing by understanding risks and opportunities explicitly. And, it amounts to upping your game on acting by taking a moment, now, to confirm the big moves you might make.
Ask yourself…is being a more strategic in 2016 worth 20 hours of time? Let me know in the comments below.

Although the S.T.A.R. Labs particle acclerator accident is responsible for the creation of nearly every metahuman seen on The Flash, the facility itself is lacking in superpowered allies. Other than Barry Allen (duh), Firestorm and the now-deceased Plastique, every other superpowered individual in the city has been an enemy to them. Fortunately, they’ll have a new ally on their side when Season 2 kicks off who will be played by The Unit star Demore Barnes. However, his character’s comic book history suggests he may not be on their side for long.
Barnes has been cast as metahuman Henry Hewitt, better known in the comics as the Firestorm villain Tokamak. According to Comicbook.com, Hewitt is a “a charming, but cocky scientist” who is recruited by Caitlin Snow to the S.T.A.R. Labs team, which will let him “fulfill his destiny as a powerful metahuman.” So far there’s no official word yet on when he’ll be appearing, or if he will fight Firestorm, though with the flamed-up hero set to soon join Legends of Tomorrow, the latter may not be as likely. Even though his role here will be slightly heroic for at least a short time, Hewitt is the fourth new supervillain that’s been announced for Season 2, following Atom Smasher, main antagonist Zoom and Legends of Tomorrow’s main antagonist Vandal Savage.
In the comics, Hewitt was a wealthy industrialist that attempted to recreate the nuclear accident that birthed Firestorm in order to heal his body. He subsequently kidnapped Senator Walter Reilly’s daughter Lorraine and used her as a guinea pig, and she was turned into Firehawk. After sending her to kill Firestorm, Hewitt exposed himself to the nuclear explosion and became Tokamak. He had several bouts with the Nuclear Man over the years, and was eventually killed after he was separated from the clone of himself that he merged with in order to keep his body from failing. Tokamak hasn’t been seen much in the modern era of comics, so an appearance on The Flash will help boost his profile for regular viewers and comic book fans who had forgotten about him.
Hewitt is the latest addition from the Firestorm mythos on The Flash. In addition to the Nuclear Man himself (a.k.a. Ronnie Raymond and Martin Stein) and Caitlin Snow (a.k.a. Killer Frost), Season 1 also featured Multiplex and Jason Rusch. As for Barnes, his other TV credits include Supernatural, Hemlock Grove, Open Heart and Defiance. He can currently be seen as Whitley in the Syfy series 12 Monkeys.
The Flash Season 2 will premiere on Tuesday, October 6 in its normal timeslot on The CW.

What is saffron and what does it taste like?
Saffron is a spice that that is derived from a plant called Crocus sativus and It’s been around for over 4,000 years. Saffron has a distinctive bright red color and a subtle flavor of honey, with a slightly sweet, spicy and bitter taste. Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world. Each Saffron crocus plant has up to four flowers, each bearing only three bright orange red threads on it. So approximately 100,000 saffron flowers are required to collect 1 kg of saffron, which is also done manually and that justifies the price of it.
Most of the saffron in the world in grown in the belt between Spain and India. Iran is the world’s largest producer of saffron followed by Morocco, Spain and India. There is a significant amount of fake saffron being sold annually. Fake saffron could be anything that looks like real saffron and is treated with colouring and flavorings, for example corn husk! Real saffron has a distinct aroma and that’s how you can differentiate it, as it is hard to reproduce. Saffron sometimes comes powdered, however unless you are using it for color only, try to stick to using threads instead.
As with the majority of spices, saffron tastes better and reveals a stronger flavor when heated. Soak saffron threads in hot liquid (water, stock or milk) for at least 10 minutes and then use this liquid for cooking. Alternatively, saffron can be slightly toasted on a dry frying pan and then ground with a pestle and mortar into a powder.
There are plenty of dishes using saffron across the world and the variety is incredible. From poached pears to spicy paella they all have an amazing aroma and taste. Many modern cuisines use saffron nowadays, and we would like to share some Moroccan saffron dishes.
Couscous is a popular Moroccan dish and there are hundreds of recipes and ways to cook it. The couscous recipe we provide below is a beautiful aromatic side dish and works especially well with chicken tagines.
Garnish with some fresh chopped parsley.
This classic chicken tagine recipe goes well with saffron couscous, alternatively you can try to serve it with saffron rice described below. If the recipe looks too complicated for you, feel free to replace it with Mina chicken tagine sauce which uses the same ingredients and therefore speeds up the cooking process.
Add chicken parts to a heavy bottomed saucepan and top up with onion, ginger, garlic, , turmeric, lemon juice, some additional salt, black pepper, saffron and cilantro.
Cut lemons into chunky pieces.
Pour 1 cup of water into the saucepan, cover with lid and sauté on small heat for 30 minutes.
When the chicken is almost ready – add olives, and continue cooking for another 10 minutes. Add a splash of water if needed during cooking.
This dish is popular among many Middle Eastern countries and it has spread to Morocco too. To be fair, saffron rice is a great complement for meat based and vegetarian tagines. Couscous is the most popular side dish to be served with tagine, however, why not try something slightly different!
Add ground saffron and rice and let the stock boil again, stir, reduce heat to low and cook covered for 20 minutes or until rice is tender.
Remove from heat, put aside and let it rest for a couple of minutes keeping the lid on.
Meanwhile soak raisins (if using) in hot water and slightly toast almonds on dry pan, till they are golden.
Gently fluff up rice with a fork and mix in drained raisins and almonds.
Moroccan pastilla or bastilla is a rustic looking pie traditionally made with squabs (domesticated pigeons), not to be confused with pastila, Russian fruit-based confectionery or pastillas, which are milk based confectionery from Philippines. The following recipe has been slightly modernised and uses chicken instead of squabs.
Rub the chicken with oil, salt and pepper, put it in a deep roast tray and roast for 35 minutes until golden.
Take it out, leave to cool and separate the meat from the bones and shred it to small pieces.
Sauté the onion and ginger for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft.
Add cinnamon, a pinch of sugar, chicken stock, pulled chicken meat to the onion mixture. Season with salt and pepper, cover with lid, let it boil and then simmer for 5 minutes.
Take of the heat and add beaten eggs and almond flakes to the mixture, leave to cool.
Start layering filo pastry sheets brushing each of them with butter. Every 4 sheets add a layer of filling. Tuck the edges of the last layer and brush it all over with butter too.
Roast it in the oven for 10-15 minutes until golden.
Take out of the oven, flip carefully to the flat tray and return back to the oven.
Cook for another 5-10 minutes till golden.
Sprinkle with sugar powder and cinnamon before serving.

What should I wear the day of the exercise stress test?
The exercise stress test -- also called a stress test, exercise electrocardiogram, treadmill test, graded exercise test, or stress ECG -- is a test used to provide information about how the heart responds to exertion. It usually involves walking on a treadmill or pedaling a stationary bike at increasing levels of difficulty, while your electrocardiogram, heart rate, and blood pressure are monitored.
Stress echocardiogram: An echocardiogram (often called "echo") is a graphic outline of the heart's movement. A stress echo can accurately visualize the motion of the heart's walls and pumping action when the heart is stressed; it may reveal a lack of blood flow that isn't always apparent on other heart tests.
Do not drink or eat foods containing caffeine for 12 hours before the test. Caffeine will interfere with the results of your test.
Do not take the following heart medications on the day of your test unless your doctor tells you otherwise, or if the medication is needed to treat chest discomfort the day of the test: Isosorbide dinitrate (for example, Isordil, Dilatrate SR); Isosorbide mononitrate (for example, ISMO, Imdur, Monoket); Nitroglycerin (for example, Deponit, Nitrostat, Nitro-bid). Your doctor may also ask you to stop taking other heart medications on the day of your test. If you have any questions about your medications, ask your doctor. Do not discontinue any medication without first talking with your doctor.
If you use an inhaler for your breathing, please bring it to the test.
If you take insulin to control your blood sugar, ask your doctor what amount of your medication you should take the day of the test. Often, you will take only half of your usual morning dose and eat a light meal 4 hours before the test.
If you take pills to control your blood sugar, do not take your medication until after the test is complete.
If you own a glucose monitor, bring it with you to check your blood sugar levels before and after your exercise stress test. If you think that your blood sugar is low, tell the lab personnel immediately.
Plan to eat and take your blood sugar medication following your stress test.
On the day of your stress test, wear soft-soled shoes suitable for walking and comfortable clothes. Do not bring valuables.
First, during a stress test, a technician will gently clean 10 small areas on your chest and place electrodes (small, flat, sticky patches) on these areas. The electrodes are attached to an electrocardiograph monitor (ECG or EKG) that charts your heart's electrical activity during the test.
Learn the causes, symptoms, and treatments of the common heart abnormality known as atrial fibrillation (A-fib).
Coronary angiogram is an angiogram (an X-ray image of blood vessels filled with contrast material) used to diagnose coronary artery disease responsible for heart attacks, strokes, angina, and other coronary artery diseases. Coronary angiogram assists the physician in diagnosing and recommending treatment for coronary artery disease.

Home > Blog > Is That A Cricket In My Basement?
In the dark corners of a basement it is sometimes hard to figure out exactly what you're looking at, and camel crickets don't make it easy. Their long, thin legs make them look like a spider which is not all that big of a deal, until they come flying out of the darkness at you. If you're wondering if you have camel crickets in your basement, and would rather not be scared half to death when they leap out at you from the darkness, we can help you with that. But before we tell you how to fix the problem, here are a few more ways those lovable little crickets can drive you crazy.
Camel crickets are sort of the "goat" of the insect kingdom. They will eat pretty much anything. They will leave holes in plants and curtains alike. If you have camel crickets in your home, you can be assured that, to them, nothing is sacred.
Camel crickets can damage stored items, like clothing, blankets, sheets, and other fabrics that are packed in the garage, attic spaces, or closets. Packed items are at most risk if they are in a place that is humid.
If you have a lot of camel crickets, you're going to get the feces that come with any insect pest. These droppings will be left in hard-to-reach places inside wall voids and insulation.
Camel crickets chirp. This may sound nice, but it gets old fast at 3 a.m. when you have to get up for work in the morning.
Camel crickets are icky. There is really no other way to put it. If you are watching television and a camel cricket leaps into your hair or crawls up under your shirt, it is never pleasant. These creatures aren't dangerous, but their alien appearance and hard exoskeleton can be really unsettling.
There is a side threat to having crickets in your home: Crickets are food for a lot of other creatures, especially rodents. If you have these tasty morsels crawling around in your wall voids, attic spaces, and basement areas mice and rats will love you for it.
At Russell’s Pest Control we protect homes from camel crickets, and a whole host of other invasive pests that like to get in through the cracks. Our power plans start at just $29 per month, and provide year-round protection from over 30 common household pests, including crickets. Camel crickets are a pest you can live without. Get your walls sealed and keep these and other pests out with professional, year-round pest control--and you may just keep pests that are even scarier out.

For seventh graders, eighth graders and sophomores and juniors in non-honors history classes, first semester means four months dedicated to developing a National History Day (NHD) project in the form of either a research paper, performance, exhibit, website or documentary. Hosted in the theater, the NHD school competition occurred Jan. 9-10, with the first place winners of each category advancing to the district competition.
Most students moving on to districts had found an interest in their topics, whether through a personal connection or curiosity. For eight grader Christopher Gaski, a group exhibit fit what he had in mind for his NHD project on Sadako Sasaki and her thousand paper cranes.
“Daniel Gleicher and I chose this project category because the exhibit was the best way to display our creativity. We chose the topic due to my Asian heritage,” Gaski said.
For those moving on to the district competition, more time and effort on the project is required for the next level. According to Mrs. Leslie Porges, junior high history teacher and NHD coordinator, the next step requires a reconstruction of projects and more sources. One such project includes that of eighth graders Cate Zeiger and Sophia Abati, who are working on a group performance on the lives of the wives of Ulysses S. Grant and Jefferson Davis during the American Civil War.
“My partner and I will be meeting with teachers weekly to practice and rewrite our scene, cite and annotate more sources, and work on our line delivery,” Zeiger said.
A common theme across project improvement is gathering more sources. “Sources are everything, so the next step for me is just gathering as many sources as I can, while also going back and tweaking a few mistakes or other small things here and there in my paper,” Abi-Karam said.
When deciding which project style to display their topic, most students went with the style that would both display their topic best and utilize their strengths. “I chose to do a paper because the way I think is the most efficient way to present facts is to tell them straight up. Also, I would say writing is one of my strong suits,” Abi-Karam said.
Similarly, Zeiger and Abati decided to use their strengths for their group performance. “I chose my project category because both my partner and I have experience with competitive acting, and I especially have written many scripts during my time at American Heritage,” Zeiger said.
The district competition will take place Feb. 22 at Pompano Beach High School.

In a major first, airport workers, represented by the Kenya Aviation Workers Union (KAWU), went on strike. The KAWU representing 10,000 workers employed at companies including Kenya Airways, Kenya Airports Authority, Kenya Civil Aviation Authority, Swiss Port, Kenya Trade Unions Aviation Service, conducted a strike.
We witnessed African workers fighting layoffs and their right to do quality work, similar to their counterparts in the American airline industry, including service personnel, flight attendants, and mechanics.
Of course, we headed to the airport to meet these courageous workers and express solidarity.
Mr. Owino explained that these union workers face massive layoffs due to a potential merger between KQ (Kenya Airways) and Kenya Airports Authority (KAA). Mr. Owino stressed the importance hearing the perspective of workers in danger of losing their jobs and took us to the nearby Kenyan Airport prison where at least 10 members of the Kenya Aviation Workers Union were detained.
There we met with Secretary-General Moses Ndiema from the KAWU. When we visited him in prison, he was still missing a shoe, but his fighting spirit was high.
His description of the day's events described a worker-led, peaceful strike. He was sitting on a pillar and, within minutes, the police threw tear gas, and grabbed him violently.
Mr. Ndiema explained that, in October, the union had “sent a letter to KQ (Kenya Airways) and Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) management about the possible “merger” and had received no official response. He added, “they claimed they were not discussing a merger at the time.” Kenyan courts ruled that the union and management must meet in February, Mr. Ndiema said, “similar to America’s Federal Mediation process.” But, again, management failed to follow up. “It is the union’s position that KAWU gave a proper strike notice 7 days ago as per requirement before beginning the strike, and it is therefore legal,” he said.
The deal to merge Kenya Airways (KQ) and Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) was said to be finalized in March, likely triggering layoffs of nearly 10,000 workers, two-tier employment, outsourcing and discrimination: Kenya Airways CEO began hiring contract workers. Airport workers, including security employees, are being forced to work as contractors alongside colleagues that have full employment and benefits. Police violence against protesting and striking workers. According to local media outlets, more than six workers were injured during the strike when police attempted to break it up at JKIA.
The detained union workers were taken to court today and are hoping to post bail and will need financial support to continue their struggle for justice, job security, and basic human rights from their employer.

Already invested in a Stealth Recoil Spring, but don’t want to get a whole new assembly just to tune your AR just right? The SRS has a number of weights to modify an existing spring assembly, ranging from Carbine equivalent up to heavy 9mm for pistol-caliber builds.
Includes both the weight for the contact against the rear of the both, plus the bumper at the rear of your buffer tube.
Amazing value. I would purchase this line before another JP SCS item. High quality and functions perfectly in my DI LMT MRP 16” 5.56.
I bought the 9mm SRS originally elsewhere, but wasn't fond of the idea of removing the bolt weight and only having a 5.3oz buffer. With the weights I bought for $17 I can either try to modify my SRS to 7-9 oz or if not comfortable with that simply use it in my 300 BO either way I'm not out on my $80 original buy, and that's Great Thinking on their behalf seriously.
Thanks for sharing your feedback, Chris. We're glad you're satisfied with your purchase.

Floribbean fare is one of today’s hottest restaurant trends, combining the flavors of Florida, the Caribbean and Cuba.
The following recipe comes from award-winning chef Aliza Green, author of Starting With Ingredients, in collaboration with Oso Sweet Onions. These sweet winter onions are grown in Chile between January and March.
The sandwich, with its tangy fresh lime and sweet-onion tartar sauce, will bring back memories of sand and surf. Pan-fried fish sandwiches are a beach-shack favorite in Florida. The crunchy crust of Japanese panko breadcrumbs holds in moisture so the fish is juicy inside. For those who love lime, increase the amount of juice to two limes.
For tartar sauce, stir all ingredients together and refrigerate.
Season fish with salt and pepper. Lightly beat together eggs and milk. Set up three bowls: flour, egg mixture and half the panko.
Dip each piece of fish into flour, shaking off excess. Next, dip into egg mixture, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Finally, dip in crumbs, coating well on all sides. (Add second half of panko to bowl, as needed, so crumbs stay dry.) Arrange fish on a waxed paper-lined baking tray and chill for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
In large, heavy skillet, heat half the oil until shimmering. Lay fish pieces in oil without crowding, turning pieces as they brown. Fry until firm and well-browned, about 6 minutes; repeat with remaining fish.
Drain and keep warm in 200ºF oven.
Spread baguettes with tartar sauce on both sides. Arrange fish in single layer on each bread, top with onion, tomato and lettuce; close, cut in portions and serve.

As we’ve discussed many times, it’s generally agreed that the smoking of cigars similar to the style we enjoy today has roots in the 10th century AD in the Americas. There’s even a reasonable argument that Columbus ‘discovered’ tobacco in the Dominican Republic (DR) rather than Cuba. Regardless of its ancient beginnings, tobacco in the DR became a significant agricultural product in the mid-1700s when immigrants from the Canary Islands settled in the rich farmlands of the Cibao Valley – the principal tobacco-growing area to this day near Santiago – and renewed the importation of slaves. Tobacco required less land than cattle and there was a market for the product among the elites of Santo Domingo, the DR’s capital. Tobacco in those days was grown on small farms. Traders passing through would transport the crops to port cities from where the tobacco made its way to Europe, mainly Germany.
Tobacco was also at the center of a rebellion in the mid-1850s. Then-president Buenaventura Baez printed 18-million pesos during a dire economic period in the DR. He used the currency to purchase the island’s tobacco crop and sell it abroad for hard cash. The tobacco growers of the Cibao Valley were ruined after inflation ran rampant. They rebelled and tossed Baez from office.
The DR’s tobacco industry got a boost in 1903 when an 18-year old member of a tobacco-growing family decided to open a cigar factory. Eduardo León Jimenes opened La Aurora in Guazumal, near Santiago. He dreamed of creating a global cigar brand. León, which means “lion” in Spanish and is the company symbol, began with only six rollers who made a Double Figurado, known today as La Aurora Preferido or Edición 1903, a Perfecto shape. In 1912, Eduardo and his brother moved the factory to Santiago. The La Aurora brand is a home-grown brand and remained a domestic cigar, not yet fulfilling Eduardo’s dream. La Aurora survived dictatorships and hard economic challenges and has now become a diverse company. Its portfolio includes the brewery that produces Presidente beer. Today, the La Aurora brand is sold in more than 60 countries.
Trouble in a neighboring country led to the next big development in Dominican tobacco and cigar production. The 1959 Cuban revolution nationalized the island’s tobacco industry and sent its best growers and manufacturers to nearby countries. Historians credit Carlos Toraño, Sr., as among the Cuban exiles who introduced ‘Piloto Cubano’ seed to the DR. The name on the Toraño Exodus line of cigars, including the Toraño Exodus Gold 20th Anniversary, commemorates the family’s departure from Cuba.
The subsequent U.S. embargo of Cuban goods further propelled the expansion of cigar tobacco growing and cigar manufacturing in the DR. The prime tobacco-growing lands can be found on the outskirts of the city of Santiago, in the north-central part of the country, and into Esperance, about 25 miles northwest. The very wide Yaque River flows through this valley, a valley within the larger Cibao Valley, bordered by two mountain ranges. The better tobacco is said to come from close to the foot of the northern range, the Cordillerra Septentrional. The soil is considered richer. The micro-climate there is known for afternoon breezes that cool off the day.
One of the attractions of the DR has been its relative political stability since the 1965 civil war. The US and the Organization of American States sent troops in an effort to end the conflict. The Castro revolution was still fresh in everyone’s mind. Since then, the DR’s economy has struggled, as has every developing country, but ranks in the middle among nations in terms of development. The DR has the ninth largest economy in Latin America. Tobacco remains one of the nation’s principal agricultural products and exports.
The DR is home for many of the world’s best cigar-makers. Davidoff has its offices in Santiago where it offers a great factory tour and also one of its tobacco fields. One of the principal towns in the valley for tobacco growing and cigar-making is Villa Gonzáles. Avo and La Gloria Cubana, among others, are made there in small factories. Partagas, Romeo y Julieta and Montecristo, and many more, are all non-Cuban versions made in the DR, making it the preeminent cigar-producing nation.
The A. Fuente Company settled in the DR after fleeing the Sandinista revolution in the 1970s. The creation in 1995 of the Fuente Fuente Opus X, with its shade-grown wrapper, made clear the possibilities for the DR to produce a Puro, a cigar made entirely from Dominican-grown tobacco. Dominican tobacco had principally served as filler. Fuente, like other companies, uses tobacco from all over the world to make beautifully blended cigars, but because they are rolled in the DR, they are considered Dominican. Ashton cigars are also made in the DR. The non-Cuban Cohiba began in the DR. Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s E.P. Carrillo Encore Majestic, Cigar Aficionado’s ‘Cigar of the Year’ for 2018, is a Dominican cigar made entirely of Nicaraguan tobacco. Confusing, huh? Don’t worry about it. Just enjoy.
Carlos ‘Carlito’ Fuente, Jr., remembers two important things about the creation of the Fuente Fuente Opus X cigar.

Among the most widespread electrical wiring inquiries is on how to wire a change. Though utilizing switches in your own home is kind of straightforward, wiring a single may not be that easy for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. There are different types of switches, but for this instance, let us say you happen to be setting up a single-pole toggle switch, a really popular swap (along with the most straightforward).
There are actually three colours of wires inside a usual single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and inexperienced. Splice the black wire in two and link them about the terminal screws - a person on best plus the other on the base screw in the switch. The white wire serves as a resource of uninterrupted electricity and is particularly typically related to a light-weight coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Hook up the green wire for the ground screw within your change.
These methods would commonly be enough to generate a normal switch function with no dilemma. Then again, for those who aren't confident which you can accomplish the endeavor correctly and safely and securely you greater permit the pros do it instead. Soon after all, there's a reason why this activity is probably the most common electrical wiring questions requested by most people.
For some rationale, how to wire a ceiling fan is also considered one of the most widespread electrical wiring thoughts. To simplify this undertaking, you should use just one change to get a single ceiling fan. To wire the enthusiast, it truly is simply a subject of connecting the black wire of the ceiling fan towards the black wire with the switch. If there is a lightweight, the blue wire must be connected on the black wire in the change also.
There are reasons why they're by far the most commonly asked electrical wiring inquiries. A person, lots of assume it is uncomplicated to carry out, and two, these are definitely the widespread electrical tasks at home. But then you definately shouldn't place your protection in danger within your aim to save cash. The stakes could even be much bigger in case you make an effort to spend less and do an electrical wiring career without having adequate information or knowledge.

It only takes two to make an auction, which is why the bid for this ball went through the roof to what some say was a grossly inflated price, even without the steroid allegations that have come to dog McGwire. The winning bid, from comic book maker Todd MacFarlane, was reportedly well above all other offers. The ball is now estimated to be worth about a third of what MacFarlane paid for it.
A bit of an aberration–this card is rare because Wagner objected to the use of his likeness on early baseball cards. Some say it was because he was ahead of his time in not wanting to promote tobacco (which preceded bubble gum as card sponsors), others say he was just irked about not getting paid. This card, once owned by hockey great Wayne Gretzky, has sold three times since the early 1990s, each time for more money.
Not sold yet, but Steiner expects the package to easily go for seven figures.

Sure, germs can make you sick, but it's also how your body responds to them. Our experts say these simple habits can put your health at risk—here's what to watch out for.
As much as possible, avoid touching surfaces that might be contaminated with viruses or bacteria, recommends Helen Ewing, PhD, dean of nursing at Carrington College in Mesa, AZ. She points out that heavy use surfaces include elevator buttons, grocery cart handles, cell phones, and gas pumps. Areas where you’re more likely to be exposed include public restrooms, public transportation, fitness centers, and schools. “Essentially anywhere there are large groups of people who may spread infections,” she says. As much as possible, wear gloves when in public settings. Make sure you’re up-to-date on your flu knowledge with this information.
Because viruses and bacteria can linger everywhere, you have to be vigilant about keeping your hands clean, warns Dr. Ewing. Washing your hands frequently with soap and water is the best technique, but if washing facilities are not available, a hand sanitizer like Purell can work. Just make sure you aren’t committing any of these common hand-washing mistakes.

Phonak put Landaluze under pressure early in the 128km seventh stage to Sallanches that finished with seven climbs up the short but steep third category Cote de Domancy, but the gritty Basque rider hung on.
“This is the happiest day of my career,” gushed Landaluze. “With the high level of racing here, this has been like the Tour, and I’m very proud to have won.” Landaluze started the day with a 49-second lead to the reborn Botero, but Discovery Channel sent Yaroslav Popovych and George Hincapie up the road in the winning breakaway.
That took the pressure off Landaluze until the final four laps when Botero and Levi Leipheimer (Gerolsteiner) drove the lead group that also included Alexandre Vinokourov (T-Mobile) and Lance Armstrong (Discovery Channel). Landaluze saw his jersey come under fire on the bell lap when he came through the start-finish some 25 seconds slower than the Botero group. He found some help in the form of Eddy Mazzoleni (Lampre) and Marzio Bruseghin (Fassa Bortolo) who helped him on the final lap.
Now Landaluze goes back to his familiar role as helper to Iban Mayo. Up next, the Tour de France and one last chance to knock the crown off Lance Armstrong.

Children have opportunities to learn about the current life and times of our royal family, and the history of our country. They also learn about people around them and their lifestyles, enabling empathy and understanding of our local community. Through Geography, RE, and wider curriculum study they also learn about the lifestyles of those further away to see that people around the world have the same fundamental values and principles that guide their life, but they may express these differently. Our school council drive British Values each month setting the children with philosophical questions linked to specific values which the children discuss, debate and record their personal opinions. These are then shared and celebrated in school council and displayed around school.
Provide pupils with a broad general knowledge of, and promote respect for, public institutions and services.
Teach pupils how they can influence decision-making through the democratic process including in the classroom, voting for topics, making manifestos to become school and class councillors and voting in classes.
Encourage pupils to become involved in decision-making processes and ensure they are listened to in school. School council has a huge role in this including voting for changes in school dinners, charity events, decisions on whole school events such as anti- bullying.
School council- discussions about what is right and wrong- If someone does something bad does this make them a bad person?

When Henry VII took the throne in 1485, the population of the city of London was about 75,000. By 1600 that figure had risen to 200,000. London under the Tudors was a prosperous, bustling city.
Henry's son Henry VIII made Whitehall Palace the principle royal residence in the city, and after Cardinal Wolsey "gave" Hampton Court to Henry, that palace became a countryside retreat for the court.
During Henry's Dissolution of the Monasteries, the 13 religious houses in London were either converted for private use or pulled down for building materials. All that now remains are the names they gave to areas of the city, such as Whitefriars and Blackfriars.
Many areas that are now London parks were used as Royal hunting forests during the Tudor period. Richmond Park served this purpose, so did Hyde Park, Regent's Park, and St. James Park.
An international exchange was founded by the mercer Thomas Gresham in 1566 to enable London to compete for financial power with Amsterdam. This became the Royal Exchange in 1560, and is now housed in a massive Victorian building beside the Bank of England Museum in Mansion House Square.
In 1598 John Stow, a retired tailor, wrote a survey of the city of London, which gives a wonderful historic snapshot of the state of Tudor London and its history. Stow is buried at St. Andrew Undershaft, and a ceremony is held there every year celebrating his life.
After the Reformation, theatres were banned in the city of London, but it wasn't for religious objection to the play's contents. Rather, the city authorities (read guilds) thought they wasted workmen's time.
Rather than disappearing, the theatres moved across the Thames to Southwark, outside the authority of the city government. Southwark became the entertainment district for London (it was also the red-light area).
The Globe Theatre, scene of many of Shakespeare's plays, was built on the South Bank in 1599, though it burned down in 1613. A modern replica, also called the Globe, has been built near the original site. Southwark was also a favorite area for entertainment, like bull and bear-baiting.
Unfortunately, many of London's Tudor buildings were destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666, so it is difficult to get a real sense of what the city was like at that time.

Before we get on to the amazing fried chicken, I want to introduce the equally amazing Noodles with Fried Black Bean Sauce with Pork & Onion ($9), also known as JaJangMyeong. For those who have tried this before, you would know that this bowl of noodles is the epitome of the world's best comfort food on a cold winter's night.
The sauce is heavenly flavoursome and once mixed well with the noodles, each slurp will send you into food heaven. My favourite bits are the melted onion slices, god they taste so delicious!
The Spring Onion Crispy Chicken was encased with the perfect proportion of batter to meat. One bite woud produce a loud crunch followed by steaming hot juicy chicken meat. Seriously amazing!
Usually the Soy Sauce Chicken is my favourite but at Bang Lee Hyan, it was difficult to differentiate which chicken was the bigger winner of the night. Both were incredibly delicious and there were simply no flaws to pick out. My suggestion is...alternate between the two to create the ultimate excitement for your taste buds.

as the other nodded agreement. " You are thinking of the Count ? "
They shuddered at the mention of this name, and then both drew their great skin coats more closely about them, looking furtively towards the window and the door as they did so. Almost as if in reply to them, there came at that very moment the longdrawn-out wail of a wolf. Its mournful howl echoed around the deserted station and sent cold shivers down the spines of the two waiting men.
" I'm not going out there again to-night," said the younger man. " I don't intend to be food for either wolves or vampires."
" Quiet, you fool ! " cried the other. " Don't you know how unlucky it is to talk of such things when the moon is full? Are you seeking for trouble? Besides, we have our orders."
" Who is to know ? " reasoned the other.
" How do they get to know everything ?" countered the older man.
This seemed to impress his companion and he shrugged his shoulders as if in surrender.
" Very well," he said, "but don't say I did not warn you."
Just then, they got a surprise. Following on the end of the wolf's drawn-out wail there came the sound of a footstep on the station platform outside. They did not expect this ! Muttering prayers mingled with curses born of deadly fear, they jumped up and seized their revolvers. All the warnings they had been given came back to them. Here was the very thing they seemed to have anticipated at Headquarters. Someone had come after all !

Welcome to Trafford Youth Trust's grant partner zone for medium and large grant partners.
Here you will find copies of the relevant grant monitoring forms and checklists that the Trust's directors expect you to complete as part of your grant T&Cs.
Referral information is also shared to help you to access early help for children and young people you are working with that require additional support.
By working together we can track the collective impact being delivered by Trafford's youth sector in helping children and young people to reach their potential.
The Trust can also begin to build greater knowledge about the strength and needs of the young people and our partners.
In this zone we share details about how your information will be used and provide a way for you to connect with the Trust.
The Trust will use your monitoring information to make sure its investments in services are being directed effectively. Directors will also deepen their knowledge of the young people and the youth partners we fund by examining the information you submit in the reports, which will inform their decision-making regarding future policy and practice.
The Trust may use case studies and draw on highlights from monitoring activities to support its fundraising activities. This may include sharing details about the organisations we fund with the Trust's donors and supporters, or showcasing work on our website or social media. There may also be occasions when the Trust's partners are invited to meet the Trust's supporters.
The Trust may draw on key themes and issues to identify ways to share learning across the Youth Sector. They may also consider ways to make connections between the partners we fund through networking and training events. We will work together to improve young peoples' access to different youth services to meet their needs.
This form has to be completed by medium and large grant partners quarterly. The first few months into project delivery youth partners have been collecting user and engagement data.
By the 6-month point the Trust is expecting to start seeing evidence of outcomes and by the end of the year evidence of impact.
Presenting information regularly to the Trust's directors provides assurances that projects are going well, whilst giving youth partners the opportunity to discuss issues and highlight good news stories.
The Trust is keen to develop meaningful and trusted relationships with the youth sector partners we fund. We will arrange monitoring visits with you to assure that board that you are delivering your project as planned, and to provide you with the opportunity to discuss issues with us or highlight best practice.
This form helps youth sector partners to keep their safeguarding policy and practice up to date. If your information about safeguarding changes please use this form to up date us (for example, change of details for your designating safeguarding officer) and keep hold of this in case the Trust wants to see this as part of monitoring visits.
Have you identified a need for early help?
Early Help in Trafford aims to make sure that services to support children, young people and their families are there when they need them. If you identify a need please see Trafford Council's guidance attached and follow their referral process.
Please see attached link to an equality monitoring return. This helps the directors to understand which groups are receiving support through our funding, helping us to identify gaps and direct our resources effectively.
We would greatly appreciate grant partners completing and returning this form once before the end of the project so that we can build up a picture of the demographics of young people supported through our funding.
From time to time the Trust's directors may wish to visit your project to meet some of the young people you work with. This presents you with an opportunity to showcase your work in an informal way to our directors.
If you have a particular event that you would like us attend please get in touch.
Our donors like to know who we are funding and what difference w are making to the lives of young people. If you want to share a good news story get in touch and we can jointly arrange some PR!

As my aging Concept2 rowing machine creaks into old age, I have a big decision to make. What to go for next? So this might sound like heresy to many rowers out there, but dare I say that I might be considering another brand?
There... I've said it! Even looking at other models feels like I'm being unfaithful to my trusty friend. But let's face the truth - there are other brands that have caught up and may even have surpassed Concept2. For decades they have definitely been the undisputed leaders in the market, but others have poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into research and manufacturing that have produced some very impressive results.
So looking forward. After many evenings browsing through all of the reports I get sent (not in the same room as my rower - well that would be insensitive wouldn't it!) and scouring the internet forums and Amazon's long lists of reviews, I have made the decision to try something new.
I don't buy into the mantra that 'it has to be an air rower' because that's what real rowing feels like. It's been many years since I've rowed on the river, and quite a few since the odd outing in a rowing boat with the family. So I use a rowing machine to stay in shape and because I enjoy it. Apart from running, I find it one of the best ways to get into The Zone and get that exercise high. So do I go for a magnetic, hydraulic (please let's be sensible) or a water/ fluid rower? If you're unsure what all these terms mean you can read up on the pluses and negatives here.
So definitely not a hydraulic - they're so 20th century (and now later than the 70's!). Magnetic? Urrrm. I've tried many of the last few years and I do like the control and associated functions (also see air v, magnetic) But I've really developed a liking for the swish and whoosh of the water resistance models. Of course I've tried the Waterrower and they are a magnificent beast, but maybe it's my age (middle-age crisis on the way) but I'm getting the urge to try something completely new.
And the current front runner is.... drum roll... the First Degree Trident. Okay, so there was a pretty big clue with the picture at the top but come on, it's a beauty. I challenge you to click on the photo and not be tempted to at least check it out. I've tried First Degree's Neptune, and considering it's one of their lower end models it's a bloody good row! Sadly, the task of testing the Evolution fell to another one of the team but to date it's the rower given the highest score on this site - 95% no less. So they do have a great reputation and are moving more into gyms and health clubs with their commercial rowing machines.
We've also not as yet reviewed the Trident, so I could kill two birds with one stone and be the first on the team to give it go.
When I worked in the computer industry there was a saying - 'no one ever got fired for buying IBM'. For years something similar has applied to Concept2, but perhaps times have changed and there are viable alternatives out there. This is good news for all of us because you can guarantee the bods at Concept aren't going to sit on their butts and take it lying down (although that's not physically possible). So you can bet we'll be seeing some exciting developments in their camp and even better quality machines coming out.
So for now I'll be saving my pennies will still rowing the old girl while doing some more research before spending my hard-earned cash on something new. I'll let you know when I've made the leap.

"I just say, 'Lord, what a privilege it is to be able to work for You,'" Jones told CBN News. "'What a privilege it is that You use me to be a vehicle to bring so many people closer to You and to bring joy, love, peace and happiness.'"
Jones' show got its start from humble beginnings. His first venture on television in the late 1970s was a 30-minute program on a single station in Nashville, Tenn.
Today, Bobby Jones Gospel is the flagship gospel music show on a network broadcast ministering to millions around the world.
"Little did I ever think it was the first show produced for BET—my show," Jones said. "And we built this organization [on] gospel music!"
Jones, who began his career in elementary education, is now considered a musical trailblazer.
He has earned numerous honors, including a Dove Award, several Stellar Awards, and a Grammy with country music star Barbara Mandrell.
In 2001, he was recognized in a proclamation by President George W. Bush for "revolutionizing the gospel music industry" and "exposing numerous gospel music artists to the world."
Jones describes that White House visit as one of his "high points."
However, buried deep beneath the fame and his signature flashy suits lie some of his lowest points.
For the very first time, Jones publicly revealed his painful past during an interview with CBN News.
He told CBN's John Jessup he survived growing up in an abusive home with an alcoholic dad.
"I began at a very early age protecting myself from the abuse: verbal [and] physical," Jones recounted.
He admits that he developed a great deal of bitterness toward his father as he watched his dad mistreat his mom and siblings.
But he believes God's grace helped him to eventually forgive his father, and now he wants his testimony to encourage others.
"I went ahead to do the things that I thought I could do to overcome that situation," he explained. "And a lot of people who may be in a position now that I was in then, they'll just have to leave it and find a way to get around it and that's a part of life."
His music and positive personality have earned him loyal fans, like Judith Bundy, who drove with her daughter from Malaga, N.J., to the BET studio in Washington, D.C., to attend a taping of his 33rd season.
"I'm here … because I'm a fan of his," she said. "It was just my opportunity to come out, and I took it."
Bobby Jones Gospel has been a prominent part of BET's programming lineup since the network premiered in 1980.
Now, three decades later, it's still going strong. It has contributed to the success of the network and launched the careers of hundreds of gospel music recording artists, like pastor and singer Marvin Sapp.
"Dr. Jones' show has been the outlet for every major artist over the last almost 30 years," Sapp explained.
"When I started in the group Commissioned in 1990, my first national performance from a television standpoint, was Bobby Jones Gospel."
Grammy Award winner Erica Campbell of the singing duo Mary Mary told CBN News that as a child she always dreamed about sharing the stage with the gospel legend.
"When I think of Dr. Jones I think of being a little girl sitting in front of the TV on Sundays waiting for an opportunity to just be on his show," Campbell recalled.
Now she calls him a friend and appreciates his openness to showcase different musical styles, like gospel jazz or rap.
"Most times you don't get that," she explained. "If it's one show, you get one type of music. You get what the host likes and that's about it. But he's not that way."
Singer James Fortune, who describes himself as a product of Jones' legacy, says Bobby Jones Gospel is more than a show; it's Jones's ministry.
"He's selfless; it's not all about him," Fortune told CBN News. "He's not just concerned about Dr. Bobby Jones making it, but he understands there are kingdom principles—that we're all doing this together for the kingdom of God."
Jones, who celebrated his 75th birthday in September, says he has no plans of slowing down any time soon.
"Well, you know I do this for Jesus," he explained. "So why stop? I will when I have to, but if I don't have to, as long as it's the Lord's will here I go."

Chinese space station Tiangong-1 was only ever intended to be a test orbiter for its country, one that would help China prepare for a more permanent laboratory-habitat swinging around the planet. But with the recent news that it’s close to crashing back down to Earth, people are paying closer attention to the doomed satellite.
This is how it stacks up against the International Space Station, a fully operating orbiter where astronauts continuously live and perform experiments.
In a blog post about Tiangong-1’s expected reentry to Earth, the European Space Agency described it as being 34 feet long, with that size split between two cylinders—its service and experiment modules. The latter is the habitable portion of the space station.
When including the weight of its fuel as it was being launched in September 2011, the space station was reported to be about 19,000 pounds. As the ESA points out, that mass has probably significantly decreased from fuel being used to control Tiangong-1 in orbit and to keep the inside of the habitable section functioning.
But the ISS reportedly weighs more than 925,000 pounds—almost 50 times more than Tiangong-1.
Tiangong-1 has two solar panels that are about 10 feet by 23 feet. Meanwhile, the ISS sports eight solar panels that are each 112 feet by 39 feet, according to NASA.
That means Tiangong-1 has 460 square feet of solar panels but the ISS has almost 35,000 square feet.
The eight solar arrays on the ISS have a capacity between 84 and kilowatts and 120 kilowatts.
Although Tiangong-1 was launched as recently as late 2011, pieces of the ISS have been in orbit since late 1998. Over time, space agencies from around the world have built it up, so that now it has several modules and solar panels.
Tiangong-1 was originally sent into an orbit about 217 miles above the Earth, according to Space.com, while the ISS orbits closer to 250 miles up.

You really don't need a ton of space to start an incredible vegetable and herb garden. Our little balcony is proof of that! What you do need is a vision and a plan. Our vision was to create a space for as many herbs and vegetables as we could comfortably cram onto the balcony while still leaving space for our grill, two chairs and a small stable. Our plan came together out of much online research and frequent referencing of this book.
Spring in Chicago calls for heartier vegetables like lettuce, kale and arugula. We wanted to try beets, carrots and onions, but found out these vegetables require very deep containers. We ended up with Butter Crunch Lettuce, Spinach, Tuscan Kale and Arugula. Each vegetable was planted into a four foot long window box, with four plants per box, evenly spaced.
We also have a tiny tomato plant we're hoping will grow into its giant pot home. Apparently tomatoes require a very large and deep pot to prosper. Also, when you plant tomatoes, cover about half the existing stem with soil. They like to be buried deep.
Our cooking preferences informed most of the decisions around which herbs to buy, but we also read that some herbs prefer to grow together in the same pot.
In their own individual pots we planted chives, mint and basil because these guys grow quickly and because we use them frequently.
Rosemary, oregano, sage, thyme and lavender form a Mediterranean Garden we planted in a very large pot with the lavender in the middle.
We used organic soil formulated for vegetables and herbs in all pots.
For fertilizer, we like Dr. Earth Organic Fertilizer. Evenly mix in the recommending amount before planing.
The vegetables and flower boxes were purchased from one of our all-time favorite garden stores, Gethsemane, in Andersonville.
Faux terra cotta pots, highly recommended because they're so light are from The Home Depot. The herbs are also from The Home Depot's rooftop garden center (the views are reason enough to check it out).

We want to make sure that every move is as easy, positive, and stress-free as possible. We are passionate about our work, as well as the quality care for our customers and their belongings. We treat every item that we move, as if it were our own. However, accidents can happen, even as we try to prevent them. This is why it is very important to consider purchasing insurance. The moving insurance is an additional coverage that protects your items, and the possible accidental damage. Below are some frequently asked questions, and answers, for your convenience.
Doesn’t my homeowners/rental insurance cover my items if damaged?
No! Homeowners and Rental insurance policies almost always ONLY cover your household items while at your residence, not while they are in the movers possession.
Items that you feel are “irreplaceable”, whether it be photos, videos, collectibles, baby/wedding clothes or items, breakable items, etc. will be covered by the insurance but should be packed in a separate box/container and brought to the movers attention. These items will be handled with extra attention and will be packed and handled carefully, as well as your other belongings. You may also choose to leave this box out, to be packed last, or in your personal vehicle.
Your mover is going to be reliable for the items that they are transporting, however, there are different “levels” of coverage. Depending on which level of coverage you choose, some may cost more or less, and you will receive more or less reimbursement for each one.
unless the carrier and shipper agree, in writing, to a greater level of liability.

Are there any good watering holes that accept away fans?
Going to Italy at the back end of August and I want to take in a match while I'm there (Roma ideally) but I cannot find the fixture list anywhere.
There's been much talk about selling the trust shares but the question is raised about who would buy them because they are effectively useless.
Is there any reason the shares cannot be sold to trust members (or indeed the wider fanbase) Split up into packages which many could find affordable - the trust gets its rainy day fund whilst the shares remain in the hands of the supporters.
Is there a reason the Trust wouldn't, couldn't or shouldn't take this approach?

Applying greater rigor and discipline to the change management/ stakeholder management profession.
As a change management professional, you know how critical it is to establish credibility with project managers and sponsors.
While your “people skills” may be excellent, becoming a valued member of a project team often requires more. You need to be able to read, understand, and fully integrate with complex, sometimes highly technical, project plans. You need to understand the methods, language, and key activities that project managers utilize so that can establish better, more collaborative and effective working relationships with project managers and the broader project team.
You also need to apply the commonly accepted tools and techniques of project management to your activities so you too can also stay on time, within budget, and within clearly defined scope specifications.
Emergence One, the influential leader in integrating hard and soft skills, offers one and two day training classes and workshops on how change management professionals and other project resources can apply greater structure, rigor, and discipline to their activities . This will allow talented project professionals to build stronger, more collaborative relationships with project managers and more technically-focused project teams.
Contact us today to let us know when you or your organization would be interested in developing a holistic skills set that merges people skills and projects skills.
