Liven up your wardrobe with this ruched turtleneck. Pair with solid colored bottoms to complete the look. From Susan Graver.
Susan Graver Printed Textured Liquid Knit Turtleneck Top is rated 4.0 out of 5 by 35.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Barby Doll from Perfect Top I have this top in a different color and love it. I bought it because it was on clearance. I have "tons" of Susan Graver clothing and love it all but not buying it like I used to mainly because it is becoming a bit too pricey. I will not spend over $50 on a piece of clothing and most is near that threshold or more.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fab at 69 from Love, love, love! Love color red, texture which gets softer after washing it 4 xs, mock neck and comfort and n medium size. Fun!
Rated 4 out of 5 by elderberry from colorful Great top! The top can be worn with skirts, pants or jeans. The top is very festive. The sleeve length is great for ladies who have shorter arm length. The only problem for some would be the tightness of the neck. No wrinkles!!! But the top is great!
Rated 5 out of 5 by salzburgimmer from Magenta, warm tan, beige,black print I ordered my usual 1X and it fits fine, even the neck portion. It goes well with two other tops and a vest in wine. The numbers are A308212 and A285433 Waitlist for A269778 also in wine. I tried it on with the DC top in the solid wine and looks great. It also goes well with QF 2-fers cotton tops with ruffled neckline & cuffs. Those were a set of 2 - wine and a medium tan with just a bit of sprinkles on it. It will wash just like all of SG liquid knits. This one is a bit textured but you have to actually come close to notice. Seems that it shows "as is" but it is still available in the numbers I wrote above. Either way you will get a great product.
Rated 5 out of 5 by AliBeth from Playful and Practical! I've always loved the Missoni influenced prints. This looks good, feels great on and I'm thrilled with the fit in 3x. Got the magenta. Very classy with black pants and black cardi.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Glenda56 from Disappointed in this fabric and print I have other Susan Graver tops that I love. But this top was returned. I did not like the fabric or the print. The fabric looked cheap to me and I was afraid it would get caught and picked on jewelry. Just not my favorite Susan top.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Grandma Grace from Beautiful Fit This has a perfect fit both around my midriff, on the shoulders, and around the neck, which is not too tight. The print is muted and I love it.
Rated 2 out of 5 by LA Lady from Why not a real turtleneck? Turtlenecks are classic! They're attractive. Why this top was made with this silly and annoying shirred neck I can not understand. It's sloppy looking and wrecks an otherwise nice top.

i haven't found a dictionary, so i hope someone of you can help me please.
You should keep in mind though, that the order of the words might be different between the languages, so a real translation would be preferable, but in case you don't get one, you could try the dictionary, good luck!
Looks like danish or norwegian.
"Hooray, this is cause for a celebration".
Err, I would rather say it means "Hooray now we're gonna party"
It's not Danish, but I'd say "Hooray, this is cause for a celebration." too.

An ankle sprain is an injury to one or more ligaments in the ankle. The ligaments of the ankle hold the ankle bones and joint in position. They protect the ankle joint from abnormal movements-especially twisting, turning, and rolling of the foot.
Ligaments are bands of tissue, like rubber bands, that connect one bone to another and bind the joints together. In the ankle joint, ligaments provide stability by limiting side-to-side movement. Most ankle sprains occur on the outer aspect of the ankle.
Some ankle sprains are worse than others. The severity of an ankle sprain depends on whether the ligament is partially or completely torn and on the number of ligaments involved. Ankle sprains are not the same as strains which affect muscles rather than ligaments.
If there is a severe in-turning or out-turning of the foot relative to the ankle, the forces cause the ligaments to stretch beyond their normal length. If the force is too strong, the ligaments can tear.
You may lose your balance when your foot is placed unevenly on the ground. You may fall and be unable to stand on that foot. When excessive force is applied to the ankle’s soft tissue structures, you may even hear a “pop”. Pain and swelling result.
A mild sprain is a Grade 1.
A moderate sprain is a Grade 2.
A severe strain is a Grade 3.
This condition occurs when the sprain injures the large ligament above the ankle that joins the two bones of the lower leg, the tibia and fibula, together. The fibula and the tibia are joined together by the syndesmotic ligament which runs from the knee down to the ankle.
Rehabilitation is used to help to decrease pain and swelling and to prevent chronic ankle problems. Ultrasound and electrical stimulation may also be used as needed to help with pain and swelling. At first, rehabilitation exercises may involve active range of motion or controlled movements of the ankle joint without resistance.
Water exercises may be used if land-based strengthening exercises, such as toe-raising, are too painful. Lower extremity exercises and endurance activities are added as tolerated. Proprioception training is very important, as poor propriception is a major cause of repeat sprain and an unstable ankle joint. Once you are pain-free, other exercises may be added, such as agility drills. The goal is to increase strength and range of motion as balance improves over time.

Artificial intelligence, or AI, is no longer a thing of the future or even a technology only for the world’s most advanced companies and militaries. AI is for the average consumer and is available right at your front door – literally.
Many of us are familiar with AI voice assistant platforms like Amazon Echo or Google Home. They add ease to smart home routines and an added layer of security through voice recognition. These voice assistants learn as they go, remembering your preferences and offering suggestions based on what they know about your needs. Yet these technologies lack a conversational intuitiveness.
Smart home tech developments are moving beyond voice recognition and into the realm of video analytics solutions. At CES 2019, an annual trade show known as “The Global Stage for Innovation,” Nortek Security and Control (NSC) revealed its new ELAN Facial Recognition systems that utilize deep-learning AI technology.
NSC Senior Marketing Director Bill Hensley says that these technologies will “empower users to go beyond the smart home experience that they’re used to.” Using facial recognition, the systems are virtually “interface-less,” with no need to push buttons or swipe.
The ELAN Intelligent Touch Panel offer personalization and interfaces with voice assistants. Facial recognition technology identifies you as you approach, enabling the system to set your preferred options for your home, like lighting, temperature, and music. Arrive home, exhausted or with hands full, and step into a home setting that is just what you want it to be.
Working with the ELAN Intelligent Video Doorbell and surveillance cameras, the system uses video analytics to offer high-level security without false alerts. The video analytics can efficiently differentiate between a person approaching your home and a passing car, dog, or swaying trees. This eliminates false alerts for objects that don’t pose a real threat. Without false alerts, users are more likely to keep their security alerts enabled, keeping them up-to-date on their home and enhancing safety.
The intelligent doorbell also enables users to answer the door either from in the home or remotely. The panel has intercom functionality that links to any connected device, given access to this AI system right at your fingertips.
Set-up and registration for the system is simple. The panel’s built-in camera registers the face and allows quick set-up of scene preferences. This centralized system offers ease of use and connects with your desired mobile devices.
The ELAN system is one of the first of many AI platforms that will make smart homes even smarter, putting deep-learning intelligence into the consumers’ hands.
What does this mean for the future of smart homes and home security systems? Artificial intelligence means intuitive systems that are even more secure than their predecessors. Consumers will enjoy added personalized convenience and effective results, all with top-notch security. Use this technology the way you want to make your home truly yours.

When buying a new car, it's usually pretty easy to see the cost of all the various driver-assistance systems like lane-departure warning, automatic emergency braking and more. After all, they're often listed as options with the price right on the sticker. What might be less obvious is how expensive these systems are to fix or replace after even minor fender benders. AAA conducted a study to find out how much it would cost to fix vehicles with all those fancy cameras and sensors, and it discovered that the average repair cost was about twice that of cars without them.
The organization determined this by looking at three 2018 model year cars with a large amount of safety assist systems: a Nissan Rogue, Toyota Camry and Ford F-150. It then found the cost of not just the parts but also the costs to properly install the parts. Both of these aspects are expensive because the components are pricey, and it takes extra time, and thus more labor costs, to get sensors and cameras installed correctly and calibrated so that they perform their functions. Sensors and cameras ended up costing anywhere between $500 and $2,050 each.
That's just for one type of sensor, though. If your car has a few safety systems, it will likely have a few different sensors all in the same areas that will quickly add up in a fender bender. For example, a light tap at the front could damage your ultrasonic parking sensors ($500 to $1,300) along with a front camera for your parking screen ($500 to $1,100), plus radar sensors for adaptive cruise control ($900 to $1,300).
Another surprise is that windshields are more expensive for vehicles with sensors behind the glass. As the organization explains, the windshields have to meet higher standards for clarity to ensure the cameras and sensors see through them correctly. And of course there's the ever-present possibility of needing to recalibrate those components in the event of damage. AAA estimated repair cost for a new windshield of between $1,200 and $1,600.
Now it would be easy to look at all this and feel like maybe things like automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, parking sensors and more aren't that great to have. But that sentiment would have to be weighed against the fact that they can indeed help with preventing collisions. For instance, the IIHS found that just lane-departure warning systems have reduced fatal crashes from leaving a lane by a whopping 86 percent. Many of these sensors can help prevent fender benders, too, such as in parking lots. So the features are still worthwhile, but just be prepared in case they are damaged.

Q: I was fascinated by the beauty of the music. You succeed in portraying how music is born spontaneously from nature’s inspiration, and the process of how music can mature through the influence of a great musician from the past. Why did you choose music as your motif to depict Peru?
JC: When I thought of filming my motherland Peru, I was sure the best way was through song. Peruvians love songs, and I myself often sing. My idea was to divide Peru into three large regions and express them each through poetry and music.
Q: One striking scene was during the festival in El Carmen where the people sang and danced as they moved towards Amador’s grave. Tell us about their views on life and death.
JC: There’s the underlying belief that life continues after death. Funerals are often accompanied by dance, because they think it’s the way to connect with the land and the local people after death. To dance in full expression of the joys of life means they are living life to the fullest.
Q: We see the scissors dancer being baptized. I was surprised to see that scissors could be considered a musical instrument and would like to know why there was a celebration of it?
JC: In the world of the Andes, music is considered a very mystical thing. Musical instruments are sacred. Therefore not only scissors, but also violins are celebrated. Because the dance of the scissors is physically demanding, it’s traditionally been a male act. This occasion of a female dancer of the scissors being baptized is a very rare one. Her master is a virtuoso of the scissors dance, a truly respected dancer. For him to celebrate her future as an outstanding dancer so sincerely, means that he is breaking with tradition. He is trying to slash open a new era.
Q: Water is a repeated motif throughout the film, as referred to with the river, the lyrics, and in everyday life. What are your thoughts on water?
JC: I think of water as life. This film is about water but at the same time my intention was to depict what life is. And in the traditions of the Andes and the Amazon, water is feminine. That’s why I wanted a female singer’s voice in the film. I thought to express water through her voice. The singer uses song to speak of the joys and sorrows of living, amid other things.
Q: Sound must have been crucial for this film. How did you record sound?
JC: All sound was direct sound. Nothing was recorded in the studio. We used the real sounds from location. We filmed repeatedly and used a part of it. The only exception was the song sung by the woman from Amazonas. As she sings impromptu, we could never hear the same song again. That’s why we could only film her songs one time each.
Q: You speak of Peru as an “invisible country.” Why do you use this expression?
JC: The Republic of Peru has a history of 200 years, but in fact it consists of multiple sub-nations. It’s only officially that the country is considered one. The culture that stands out as representing Peru is mainly the coastal region’s. Actually there are many other languages and lifestyles, music, poetry, and culture in Peru. For example, there are a million people who speak Quechua but there is no education or media communication in the Quechua language. The situation is the same for other languages. Despite that, each culture has prided its strong identity and thus survived through history. I made this film hoping to put this less seen part of the country on display.


text: Abantuana, or “Children’s Song,” is about children playing outside, surrounded by butterflies, squirrels, birds, and stones. Moshe Sephula was born in South Africa in 1928. His mother was an accomplished drummer, well known for her hop, skip, and jump with the drum on her knees.	Sephula’s early musical studies certainly began in his home, but his more disciplined work in collecting and compiling South African folk songs was done under Dr. Julius Herford at the Westminster Choir College in Princeton, NJ. He also studied voice at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. The music prevalent in South Africa in the 1930s was highly nationalistic in character and content, but Moshe Sephula seems to have followed the cosmopolitan attitudes of his contemporaries. He set spirituals to conventional Western harmonies, overthrowing the doctrine that African music was in the pentatonic scale and not subject to outside influences. His first album, “Sing in African,” illustrates this European approach to African music. This album, “Bantu High Life,” reveals a more modern strain in African folk music, expressing the struggles, longings, and fears of Africans during the last hundred years.

India and France on Friday decided to expand military cooperation in the strategically key Indo-Pacific region, besides resolving to ramp up the overall defence and security ties.
Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and her French counterpart, Florence Parly, held extensive talks covering a variety of issues, including the regional security situation, joint development of defence platforms and expansion of military-to-military ties.
At their delegation-level talks, the two sides also agreed to expand counter-terror cooperation, and said a lot more could be done in the maritime sphere, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region, where China was trying to expand its footprint, official sources said.
The sources said the French side explored the possibility of a follow-on order of additional Rafale fighter jets being placed by India.
India had signed a Rs. 58,000-crore deal with France for the supply of 36 Rafale jets last year and the IAF was pitching for procuring another fleet of 36.
It is Ms Parly’s first visit to India as Defence Minister and her trip is expected to lay the ground for French President Emmanuel Macron’s upcoming trip.

Finally, I’m going to write about how much I love this album. Far From Daylight is the debut, number one album from The Blood Red Mountain Band, released in 2015.
From the offset, the album instantly grabs your attention; the rich, polished sound enticing the listener to really absorb what’s happening.
Beginning with “First Light”, a nineteen second instrumental which starts off easy gradually increasing; similar to an alarm clock inviting you to wake up to this album.
This smoothly interjects into “All the Times”; a charming number which perfectly introduces the flawless harmonies and beautiful lyrics to come on the rest of the album. Somewhat seamless, the harmonies offer that consummate contrast between male and female vocals, allowing for the idea of forlorn lovers reciting to one another.
The third song “Stars from the Main Street” establishes the male solo taking the fore; a soft country vibe which is tender and feel-good.
Next up is “Fair and Tender Ladies”, and an opportunity for the female singer to shine. This has a delicate vintage feel, with an ambiance of the deep south. It has that sweetness of a mother singing to her daughter, giving those simple life advises that her mother passed down to her.
“On These Waters” is my favourite track on the album, the number that is sure to get any room onto their feet. They manage to rhyme “and I wish I learned to swim”, with a perfect slight pause allowing you to savor it before continuing “I wouldn’t feel in over my head” and ending “it’s the stars that make me sing”. It’s the “yeehaww” (for want of a better description) song on the album which is just full of swing, but with those “ahhh” moments for such alluring lyrics. It’s a wonderfully crafted song with airs of bluegrass, country and folk.
Onto “(I’ve Got You) On My Mind”, a more mellow affair, bringing back that male and female arrangement. “When it feels like winter but your hearts on fire”, “I dream of the sun as the cloud waltz by” and “When you kiss like summer being washed in the rain”, again is a reminder of the atmospheric storytelling that flows through the album.
“My Sweet Rose” is a rockier number, the liveliest of all on the album. Demonstrating the powerful vocals throughout the band, and the versatility that they offer, it is evident of their talent as musicians. If ever there were a band who couldn’t be characterized or pegged as a one trick pony, it’s The Blood Red Mountain Band.
Next is “‘Til the Wheels”, which returns to the folk style narrative of two lovers and a car which is about to give up, taking off into the sun, making the most of what they have.
“Trial” is a more somber affair, the country twang evident in this conversation with the Lord. The same with “Lucy Jackson (don’t you break my heart)”, although one of the more energetic offerings.
Like “First Light” woke up the album, “Last Light” winds it down. Finishing with “Catch You When You Fall”, a charming, and captivating end to what is a delightful debut.
The lyrics are opulent; so finely tuned, mixed with effortless harmonies, rich instrumentals, and that perfect balance of country, rock, folk and bluegrass that it can’t be defined as any, but can be enjoyed by all. Each song is a perfectly carved tale, clearly illustrated and effectively delivered; full of emotion and powered by passion. The vocals are engaging throughout, while the instruments support each song without ever intruding. At no point does anyone interrupt, but a seamless offering from all sides makes this album smooth and flawless.
Highly recommended for fans of multiple genres. As far as their live performances go; incredible. Definitely a band to catch in 2016 during their “32 County Tour”.

As many of you may know, back on December 27, 2017, Peg had triple bypass surgery. She has done and is doing exceptionally well thanks to God for healing and for all of you who have been praying for Peg! Last week, after just 4 weeks from her surgery, her surgeon cleared her to go back on the road!! So, on January 26th Peg and Ruben were able to join the rest of the group and travel to Lenoir, North Carolina, and Peg was able to sing her signature song “God On The Mountain”! Peg said “this was a shot in the arm for her and Ruben to be able to travel and sing a little”. So, needless to say, her and Ruben will be back traveling with the group beginning February 9th, 2018! We give GOD all the glory for what HE has done!! However, as she is still healing she will gradually work back into her “place” on stage! She will be taking things a little each week until her healing is complete!! Peg says, “Thank you to each of you for your prayers, cards and emails, these have really been overwhelming, I love you and appreciate all of these!” So, on that note….Peg and Ruben are back!!
Thank you all for your prayers for Peg. She is doing good! As a matter of fact she has been up walking some today. Please continue praying for her, we are seeing progress!
Today we are thanking God for answered prayers for Ms Peg Mckamey in her recent surgery. Of all the Mckamey’s songs, this one has to be the most requested. Let it be a reminder to you today that whatever you are facing, God is Still God and has it under control. Trust in HIM..
Happy Thursday from SGN SCOOPS !
Will you take a moment and pray for this sweet lady and ask your friends to do the same?

Spike Raster Waves are created with the following name convention: “SP_R” + X/Y + Wave Select String + Channel + Overwrite Sequence Number (i.e. “SP_RX_RAll_A0”). X-waves (“SP_RX...”) contain the raster spike times. Y-waves (“SP_RY...”) contain the data wave number from which spike times were derived. These waves are used to create raster plots.
A NeuroMatic Channel Graph showing the membrane potential of a cerebellar granule cell in response to a 300-ms current step to 12 pA starting at 50 ms. Red ticks denote detected spikes. Drag waves (vertical dashed red lines) were used to set the time limit parameters xbgn and xend. Threshold was set to 10 mV.
This Spike Raster Plot was created by NeuroMatic after selecting the “All Waves” button for the same data file shown in the above Channel Graph, consisting of 12 current-clamp recordings (300 ms current steps from -12 to +32 pA, increments of 4 pA). The XY-Paired Spike Waves used to create this plot are named “SP_RX_RAll_A0” and “SP_RX_RAll_A0”, which reside in a Spike Subfolder called “Spike_Record_All_A”.

Paros is a major island of the Cyclades group.
No rooms are available for given criteria.
Welcome to our interactive map!
Don't miss the church of Panagia Ekatontapiliani which means the church of 100 doors, in Parikia. Naousa (Greek: Νάουσα) is a village in the north eastern corner of the island. There are beautiful beaches and in front of the port unique Venetian castle of the 15th century is situated, built during the dynasty of Sommaripa. As it is half-sunken beneath the surface of the sea remains a remarkable sight. Lefkes village is in the middle of the island with many nice tavernas, and beautiful alleys. From Lefkes you can take a very nice walk at the old stones of the Byzantine Route down to Prodromos.
Unfortunately, there is no events available at this time.
Paros is a Greek island in the Cyclades group, neighbouring Naxos and is one of the most popular holiday destinations for visitors to the Greek islands.
Paros is the second largest island of the Cyclades. It has an area of 196 square kilometres and a coastline 120km long. The island has the advantage of being located centrally in the Cyclades near Naxos, Ios, Sifnos and Syros. Most of the ferries to Naxos and Santorini make a stop first at Paros.
The island is the third in popularity of the group. First are Santorini and Mykonos.
Paros is considered as one of the most beautiful islands of the Cyclades. It is characterized by the many beaches and also the charming villages: Parikia (the main town), Naoussa, Lefkes, Marpissa and other. Naoussa is an old fishing village turned into a cosmopolitan top holiday destination. The village is characterized by its Venetian port and its many fish restaurants. The architecture of the area is also incredible.
A fantastic place to take the kids is Aqua Park. Boats leave hourly from Naoussa and takes approximately 15 minutes.
Visit as many beaches as you can, don't stay in one every day. Every beach has a different feeling. Try Farangas, Parasporos, Krios, Kato yalos, Agia Irini, Logaras is very nice for families.
Paros is also famous for its watersports, specifically wind and kitesurfing. The eastern coastal town of Dryos with neighboring beaches of "chryssi akti" translated golden beach and "tserdakia" known as new golden beach are the most popular surfing destinations. The latter was the site of the 2000 and 2003 PWA IFCA international windsurfing championships as well as other international events. The location has once again been selected for the 2010 championships.
Tao's  is a retreat and meditation centre located on top of a hill, overlooking the Aegean Sea and the neighbouring islands. There are on-going daily activities, self-development seminars and a long-stay Work & Study program, along with Oriental-Thai cuisine and Cafe-Bar.
In Parikia's sea front you will find many nice tavernas with excellent food, exactly behind in the old town wander along the narrow streets with the many kind of shops, and the unique cycladic atmosphere. Don't forget to sit in one of the many Ouzeri in Naoussa and taste Gouna fish and octopus in vinegar.
Resalto bar A very nice bar in the port of Drios, plays the best rock music in Paros.

The Oklahoma Sooners are back to the top spot of the Big 12 Power Rankings after a second straight convincing victory in conference play. This week, Kansas State was the victim of 51-14 beatdown thanks to 398 total yards and four touchdowns from Kyler Murray. The Sooners have found their rhythm since the Texas loss, and are moving full steam ahead in the second half of the season.
The Mountaineers are back on track following their first loss of the season. West Virginia picked off Baylor quarterback Charlie Brewer three times and ended up with a season high 58 points in the Thursday night victory. The Mountaineers’ Big 12 Championship hopes are on the line this week with a matchup in Austin against the Longhorns.
Texas suffered its first loss since Week One against Maryland following a failed comeback attempt against the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Stillwater. With a full starting lineup back for the West Virginia game, there is more reason to believe the Longhorns could get back to their winning ways on Saturday.
Two things were learned following Oklahoma State’s upset victory against Texas: The Cowboys are really good following a bye week, and head coach Mike Gundy does not care about Twitter. Regardless, Oklahoma State put up 502 yards against perhaps the best defense in the Big 12. Wide receiver Tylan Wallace finished with 222 yards receiving and is beginning to turn heads as one of the more underrated weapons in the Big 12.
Don’t look now, but the Iowa State Cyclones have won three straight, including two Top 25 victories. The Cyclones are averaging 39.3 points per game during their win streak and have looked like a completely team since their 1–3 start to the season. If they can win out, the Cyclones may find themselves in the Big 12 title game. The biggest test of the season comes against Texas, but the Cyclones have to take on Kansas and Baylor before traveling to Austin.
Texas Tech suffered its third loss of the year this past weekend. The Red Raiders are still lacking consistent quarterback play as Alan Bowman threw three interceptions against the Cyclones. The road only gets tougher for Kliff Kingsbury’s squad, as Tech faces Oklahoma and Texas in the next two weeks.
There is no other way to put it: Baylor got whooped Saturday. Baylor allowed a 58 points to West Virginia and turned the ball over four times, a recipe that will likely always result in a loss. Unfortunately for the Bears, they still have Iowa State, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State remaining on the schedule.
Kansas shocked the masses with a victory over Gary Patterson and the TCU Horned Frogs last week to improve to 3–5, which is shaping into the Jayhawks’ best season in recent memory. With just one more win this year, Kansas will have it most victories in a season since 2009. Perhaps things are turning around in Lawrence.
As for the other team in Kansas, things aren’t looking as bright. The Wildcats are coming off of their worst loss of the season and their fourth loss in the last five games. Kansas State continues to struggle on offense, only scoring over 25 points just three times this season.
It is more than surprising to see a Gary Patterson-led team in the bottom of the Big 12 rankings. But it’s unbelievably true as TCU lost to Kansas this week. The Horned Frogs are currently 3–5 and are experiencing their roughest week, month and season since joining the Big 12.

It concerns the ways that polities and societies meet the basic needs of their citizens and residents for human security and well-being, broadly defined, and face the challenges of poverty, unemployment, demographic and socioeconomic change. National and local governments are the main actors in crafting and enforcing social policy, but non-state actors, such as international and domestic organizations, civil society groups, for-profit entities, and families, among others, are also key.

NORTH WATERBORO, Maine – The only light in the house came from the glow of three computer monitors, and Christopher Blair, 46, sat down at a keyboard and started to type. His wife had left for work and his children were on their way to school, but waiting online was his other community, an unreality where nothing was exactly as it seemed. He logged onto his website and began to invent his first news story of the day.
“BREAKING,” he wrote, pecking out each letter with his index fingers as he considered the possibilities. Maybe he would announce that Hillary Clinton had died during a secret overseas mission to smuggle more refugees into America. Maybe he would award President Donald Trump the Nobel Peace Prize for his courage in denying climate change.
He had launched his new website on Facebook during the 2016 presidential campaign as a practical joke among friends – a political satire site started by Blair and a few other liberal bloggers who wanted to make fun of what they considered to be extremist ideas spreading throughout the far right. In the last two years on his page, America’s Last Line of Defense, Blair had made up stories about California instituting sharia, former president Bill Clinton becoming a serial killer, undocumented immigrants defacing Mount Rushmore, and former president Barack Obama dodging the Vietnam draft when he was 9. “Share if you’re outraged!” his posts often read, and thousands of people on Facebook had clicked “like” and then “share,” most of whom did not recognize his posts as satire. Instead, Blair’s page had become one of the most popular on Facebook among Trump-supporting conservatives over 55.
It was barely dawn in Pahrump, Nevada, when Shirley Chapian, 76, logged onto Facebook for her morning computer game of Criminal Case. She believed in starting each day with a problem-solving challenge, a quick mental exercise to keep her brain sharp more than a decade into retirement. For a while it had been the daily crossword puzzle, but then the local newspaper stopped delivering and a friend introduced her to the viral Facebook game with 65 million players. She spent an hour as a 1930s detective, interrogating witnesses and trying to parse their lies from the truth until finally she solved case No. 48 and clicked over to her Facebook news feed.
On display above Chapian’s screen were needlepoints that had once occupied much of her free time, intricate pieces of artwork that took hundreds of hours to complete, but now she didn’t have the patience. Out her window was a dead-end road of identical beige-and-brown rock gardens surrounding double-wide trailers that looked similar to her own, many of them occupied by neighbors whom she’d never met. Beyond that was nothing but cactuses and heat waves for as far as she could see – a stretch of unincorporated land that continued from her backyard into the desert.
She’d spent almost a decade in Pahrump without really knowing why. The heat could be unbearable. She had no family in Nevada. She loved going to movies, and the town of 30,000 didn’t have a theater. It seemed to her like a place in the business of luring people – into the air-conditioned casinos downtown, into the legal brothels on the edge of the desert, into the new developments of cheap housing available for no money down – and in some ways she’d become stuck, too.
She had lived much of her life in cities throughout Europe and across the United States – places such as San Francisco, New York and Miami. She’d gone to college for a few years and become an insurance adjuster, working as one of the few women in the field in the 1980s and ’90s and joining the National Organization for Women to advocate for an equal wage before eventually moving to Rhode Island to work for a hospice and care for her aging parents. After her mother died, Chapian decided to retire and move to Las Vegas, Nevada, to live with a friend, and when Las Vegas become too expensive a real estate agent told her about Pahrump. She bought a three-bedroom trailer for less than $100,000 and painted it purple. She met a few friends at the local senior center and started eating at the Thai restaurant in town. A few years after arriving, she bought a new computer monitor and signed up for Facebook in 2009, choosing as her profile image a photo of her cat.
Chapian didn’t believe everything she read online, but she was also distrustful of mainstream fact-checkers and reported news. It sometimes felt to her like real facts had become indiscernible – that the truth was often somewhere in between. What she trusted most was her own ability to think critically and discern the truth, and increasingly her instincts aligned with the online community where she spent most of her time. It had been months since she’d gone to a movie. It had been almost a year since she’d made the hour-long trip to Las Vegas. Her number of likes and shares on Facebook increased each year until she was sometimes awakening to check her news feed in the middle of the night, liking and commenting on dozens of posts each day. She felt as if she was being let in on a series of dark revelations about the United States, and it was her responsibility to see and to share them.
“I’m not a conspiracy-theory-type person, but . . .” she wrote, before sharing a link to an unsourced story suggesting that Democratic donor George Soros had been a committed Nazi, or that a Parkland shooting survivor was actually a paid actor.
Chapian looked at the photo and nothing about it surprised her. Of course Trump had invited Clinton and Obama to the White House in a generous act of patriotism. Of course the Democrats – or “Demonrats,” as Chapian sometimes called them – had acted badly and disrespected America. It was the exact same narrative she saw playing out on her screen hundreds of times each day, and this time she decided to click ‘like’ and leave a comment.
“Gross. Those women have no respect for themselves,” wrote a woman in Fort Washakie, Wyoming.
“They deserve to be publicly shunned,” said a man in Gainesville, Florida.
“Well, they never did have any class,” commented Shirley Chapian, from Pahrump, Nevada, and Blair watched his liberal mob respond.

I am in constant contact with both my critique partners and my debut group, The Class of 2k12. Both encourage me when I flounder and bolster me when I need support. Some of them have calmly told me again and again that they believe in what I write. When we can’t muster the strength to see our own talent, it is so good to have people whose belief in us we can borrow.
For the sake of my creative health, I’ve decided that reading the School Library Journal blog, Heavy Medal, is something that doesn’t nourish me right now. As I watch people who love children’s literature analyze books I admire (in a professional, respectful, invigorating way), I’m finding I doubt my abilities more and more. No book is perfect. I know this to be true. But seeing the “faults” of books well-executed while I’m drafting my own new, unformed work is enough to make me think I’ll never produce anything of substance, depth, or worth.
What have you learned to avoid or embrace to foster your creativity?
These are wonderful suggestions – ones I’m going to have to keep in mind. Writing is such a mental game, isn’t it? Which is why I’m so thankful for my writing friends, who help keep me grounded. They are amazing. And, yes, reading reviews kind of freaks me out sometimes. It can make feel like it’s impossible to please people. Good luck with your writing environment!
P.S. Beautiful flowers. We have those where I live, too. Love them! They’re so cheerful, and they grow everywhere.
It is a mental game. That’s a perfect description. I’m heading to the Jemez Mountains on Thursday for an SCBWI writing retreat. No Internet. No phone. It will be wonderful.
Are you in the southwest, Caryn? The flowers are chamisa. I’ve only seen them out my way. But if you’re not out here and have them, tell me more!
We might be close to each other. I’m in the Four Corners area, right on the border of Colorado and Utah.
P.S. Have fun at your retreat! It sounds amazing. I’ve always wanted to go on a writer retreat. Someday!
We have an author from CO coming down for our retreat. You should seriously consider coming sometime!
That would be so much fun! I’m about six hours away from you, due to the windy roads. (You know how those can be, especially with all the mountains and canyons in the area.) But then, everything is far so I’m used to driving.
Sorry for earlier double comment (which I deleted). But I did want to thank you for an excellent post that really resonated with me. Especially the words about listening to the small voice inside us that we need to listen to the most as we create. I’m trying to listen which is probably why I’m not ‘talking’ so much on social media right now. Have a fabulous time at your retreat!
Nelsa, I’m glad you tried again. Blogger has been duplicating comments, and when someone goes to cancel the “second” one, both disappear.
So glad this spoke to you (as your post did to me). Though I love the contacts I now have in the writing world and am grateful for the connections I’ve made through the web, I sometimes long for those early days. I don’t miss the loneliness and general stumbling around I did for years, but I do miss the solitude. Nowadays, I have to make sure to create my own quiet space.
All the best on your new project.

Mishka Ben-David is a noteworthy author from Israel, who is well known for writing thrillers and philosophy novels. He has written several standalone of novels in his career in Hebrew language, which have been translated in English and published all over the world. Author Mishka was born on March 20, 1952 in Giv’at Shmuel, Israel. Before taking up writing as a full time career, he used to serve as a Mossad agent. Author Mishka has given 12 years of his life to the Mossad. During the time of his service, he had risen to the post of a high-ranked officer. But now, he has left the Mossad service and works as a full time novelist just outside Jerusalem. Author Mishka is known to have written around 8 books in his literary career so far and five of them are spy novels. Mishka holds a Master of Arts degree in the subject of comparative literature from the Wisconsin University as well as a PhD from Jerusalem’s Hebrew Unviersity in the Hebrew literature. Besides being a writer and a Mossad agent, the other professions of author Mishka include working as a principal at a high school in Jerusalem and as a director at a community center. Author Mishka has even delivered a lecture at Open University. As many as 4 books written by him have become bestsellers. His literary work also includes short stories, research studies, and novels. A German-Israeli-Canadian co-production company has decided to adapt the spy novels of author Mishka for a television series at the international level. This adaptation is being done in association with the Bavaria Pictures. Mishka’s book, Duet in Beirut, is going to be the first one to be adapted into the television series. Author Mishka has been awarded with the Harrey Harshon Prize for two times in his career in the year 1976 and 1977. Several other prestigious awards won by him include the Rabinovich Award, the Prime Minister Prize, the Gold Prize by Book Publishers Association, and the Platinum Prize by the Publishers Association.
During the twelve years of his service in Mossad, Mishka was involved in secret operations all across the Middle East and Europe. He even played an important role in a high profile assassination fiasco during the 1990s. The job of author Mishka in his team was to deceive and manipulate. Mishka says that sometimes he experienced acute loneliness because he was the only one knowing his real identity being an undercover agent. Now, after quitting the spying job, he has established himself as a noteworthy writer of thriller novels. He has even made his debut in the United Kingdom after one of his spy novels was translated into English. Author Mishka travels extensively all over the UK and shares his writing experiences with his fans. Duet in Beirut is an excellent book written by him. This book centers around an agent who gets the blame of a failed operation of the elimination of a Hezebollah leader, after he chooses not to pull the trigger when the daughter of the target unexpectedly appears in the shooting range. The agent gets dismissed from duty. Then, he decides to finish the job all by himself, but is stopped by his former commander. While writing this book, author Mishka remembered his own days of service. He says that he took the right decision of reconnecting with his family and his normal life after serving for twelve long years. Now, he spends more time with his friends and family and writes books. Mishka does not regret anything in life. The issues that he came across in Mossad were solved with possible solutions. Hence, there is nothing that troubles his conscience.
The debut novel written by author Mishka Ben-David is entitled ‘Duet in Beirut’. This book was released by the Overlook Press in the year 2015, following its initial release in 2002. The story is set in Lebanon and Israel, and shows the main characters as Ronen and Gadi. These two men were squad mates in a direct action unit of Mossad. They turn into bitter rivals following a failed task in Lebanon. The mission was to assassinate Abu Khaled, the overseas operations chief of Hezbollah, and it was planned by Gadi. Ronen was to pull the trigger when Khaled was spotted, but when he is about to do so, one of Abu Khaled’s daughters wanders into the fire line. Therefore, Ronen’s conscience tells him not to take a hit as he didn’t want to injure or kill the daughter. Eventually, the mission ends in a failure. Upon coming back to Israel, the men undergo commissioning investigation and it results in the ending of Ronen’s career. After his removal from the squad, Ronen is not able to adjust to his life outside and therefore, he decides to take up a personal, secret mission to travel to Beirut and finish the job he left unfinished. Gadi is also upset with the outcome of the investigation and feels let down. He even struggles with the rising sexual tension with Naamah, the wife of Ronen, with whom he had an affair when she used to work in his squad as an agent. Gadi learns from Naamah that Ronen has planned to kill Abu Khaled on his own. Gadi realizes that killing Abu Khaled now can cause an international row as he has now been promoted to a public and political role. So, he undertakes the unauthorized mission of stopping Ronen. The story goes through a lot of twists and turns before finally coming to an end.
Another thrilling story written by author Mishka is called ‘Final Stop, Algiers’. It was released by the Halban publication in 2017. The primary characters shown in the book include Mickey Simhoni and Niki, and is set in Tel Aviv, Toronto, and Tokyo. At the beginning of the story of the book, it is depicted that Mickey Simhoni’s life gets disrupted because of a terrorist attack that takes place in Tel Aviv. As a result, he decides to give his plans of becoming an artist and gets recruited as an Israeli agent in Mossad. Mickey starts learning the art of spying and the building a cover through a painstaking process. Eventually, he takes the role of someone he resembles closely and is presumed dead. On his first mission, Mickey is sent to Toronto, where he comes across a girl named Niki, with whom he has in a relation around 10 years ago in Tokyo. Mickey finds himself torn between his intense love for Niki and his loyalty towards the Mossad. Niki resolves this dilemma for Mickey Simhoni by taking an unusual decision. However, the dilemma never ends for Mickey. And when his commanders learn that he is finding it difficult to focus on his job, they threaten to kill Niki. Mickey’s final task in Algiers end in failure, causing hatred and rage in the Mossad, and eventually ending with a dramatic conclusion.

going up the hill in Feniton for our Easter Day sunrise service but a good crowd collected in the churchyard round the fire pit so we still managed to celebrate Christ’s resurrection outside early in the morning. We had a good congregation at Escot for our Easter communion also.
We held our first whist drive on Easter Monday when over 80 people enjoyed whist and tea in spite of the dreary weather. As always we are most grateful to Les and Jackie Peek, their family and friends for organising such an enjoyable fund-raiser, and giving us over £370.
Our patron saints, St Philip and St James, are celebrated on May 1st which is also the anniversary of our dedication in 1840. This year our patronal festival is on May 6th when we will be joined by congregations from Feniton and Payhembury. As Easter was early this year, Ascension Day, the day when Jesus rose to heaven, is celebrated the same week on Thursday May 10th when we are having a service at Feniton. Details of these and all our other services are in the middle pages of the magazine.
We are now getting prepared for the Quilt and Flower Festival taking place on 8th, 9th and 10th June. As I said last month if you are a quilter and would like to display a quilt please will you contact Lindsay Saunders on 812962 who is co-ordinating the display. Olive is organising the flowers so I’m sure both quilts and flowers will be spectacular. We will be open all three days from 10am – 5pm with refreshments all day, coffee in the morning, light snacks at lunchtime and cream teas and cakes in the afternoon served in our refreshment tent. Surely by then we shall be having warm and sunny weather so it will be a pleasure to relax and enjoy a leisurely visit here. We look forward to welcoming you.

Four months after having returned from her inspirational trip to Giverny, I asked Susan Marx (left) a few questions to determine if and how she has seen that this trip has continued to affect her painting today.
I would like to have more information on how you see/feel your work has changed since your last Giverny trip?
How was this trip different from previous trips?
Are you looking at things differently, or using different painting techniques?
Do you see the same places you paint in NJ through different eyes now that you are back?
Have you discovered new places to paint?
Any other thoughts or insights you'd like to add?
I have always paid attention to shape, light and color, but after my recent trip to Giverny, I am paying even more attention. The space has become flatter; there is no horizon line. I try to remember what my muse, Monsieur Monet "whispered into my ear" while I was painting on his Japanese Bridge.
My trip this past May was different from the last time I painted in Giverny in 2008. My work has become much looser and the heavier paint in my brushstrokes is more visible.
Then, my paintings were 16x20, acrylic on masonite, and now my paintings are 30x24, also acrylic, but I now paint on stretched canvas.
Someone once commented to me when I was painting in the smaller format, that my forms need more space to grow, and they were right.
On my 2006 trip, I was also painting en plein air in the garden, but I was more representational; I needed to paint what I saw in front of me.
"what was inside my head."
but making nature work for me.
my work is even freer.
and it is usually quiet.
I have painted there over the years.
But now my paintings are inspired by what I see in front of me, instead of copying what I see. I know where I painted, but you would have a difficult time telling where from the finished painting.
And as I have said previously, there is no horizon line. The colors (inspired by flowers) just become many color shapes. And these many shapes group together to form one large shape on the canvas. I continue working in a vertical format because I think it makes the viewer not look for a horizon line; and thus the paintings are flatter.
from Giverney, as well as some that were painted before and after this inspiring retreat.
her recent travels have had on her work!
The exhibition opens October 9th and runs through October 29th, 2015.

Travel Noire has always been devoted to showcasing black travelers that inspire others to see more of the world. Attorney-turned-travel influencer Cyn (@simplycyn) shares how she got her start.
Cyn: I was born in Silver Spring Maryland, raised in Douala, Cameroon. I’m currently NYC-based.
Cyn: It became a passion after I studied abroad in Paris. I just knew it was something I needed to do to fuel my spirit. It opens up my mind and it makes me see the world clearer. I appreciate people and experiences so much more because I travel. Over the past few years, I have been able to collaborate with hotels, tourism boards, travel agencies and more to share some of the places, stays, food, and experiences that I think my readers would enjoy. It’s amazing when I think about the evolution of my experiences with travel.
Travel Noire: What are your favorite domestic destinations?
Cyn: Philly and New Orleans. They are different cities but they both offer so much in terms of food, culture, music, history, shopping (fleas and boutiques), nightlife, great small hotels and so many events and festivals. For Philly, you don’t want to miss Bloktoberfest, Reading Terminal Market, Roots Picnic, walking Old City and Northern Liberties and HiCityVeg for vegan eats that even non-vegans will love. For New Orleans, you don’t want to miss walking and shopping in the French Quarter and eating at Shaya which has pita bread that’s pillowy heaven. After hours should be at Frenchmen Street and then head on a swamp tour during the day.
Travel Noire: What are your favorite international destinations?
Marrakech is at the intersection of Africa, Europe and the Middle East, and has such rich culture, beautiful design (my home has Moroccan accents everywhere). It’s also the best destination for Instagram pics.
Cyn: It’s ok if you’re the only black person. It is important to be aware of your surroundings, but don’t let lack of diversity be a deterrent to a trip.
To follow up on above, you will not be the only black person. We are everywhere, even in places you think there won’t be anyone like you. We increasingly travel more and even when I’ve been in the most remote places, I’ve spotted a brother or sister. That’s what the recognition head nod and smile is for.
You don’t need to prove anything to anyone. There will be times when you will feel the need to overcompensate for your blackness, be it in overtipping, purchasing something from a shop so you don’t seem cheap or being overly polite. Don’t. You are a valued traveler, you deserve nothing more and nothing less than anyone else and it is not your responsibility to carry that kind of burden.
Travel Noire: How has traveling change your perspective on life?
Cyn: Traveling made me realize that it’s a big world and that there are many ways to live and many choices we can take about how we choose to live. It also made me appreciate all that I have (employment, access, speaking my mind truly and freely) and all that I don’t have (free healthcare, free education, affordable cost of living). There is no perfect place in the world. They all have pros and cons and that’s ok because I can appreciate it all.
Cyn: My first time in Santorini was awe-inspiring. I had never been anywhere that ridiculously different from everything I was used to. The whitewashed homes on volcanic cliffs in the middle of the Aegean sea, the windy super narrow roads. It was one of my first big trips and it definitely inspired me to seek more and travel often.
Cyn: Push beyond your comfort zone and unless you’re really private, talk to people! It’s so great to have those conversations and you learn from others and others learn from you. It becomes a true cultural exchange when you engage with not just the country, but its people.
Cyn: Grenada. I’m so excited!

A communications professor at Texas A&M University wanted to find out about the effects of changes to the newspaper industry on our nation’s politics, so she did some research, which has been published in the Journal of Communication.
If you have noticed what seems like a sharp increase in political polarization in the past few years, you are not imagining things. And, as Johanna Dunaway, and some colleagues at Colorado State and Louisiana State universities, found out, that polarization happened during a period of steady decrease in the number of local newspapers and journalists across the country.
According to the report, fewer local newspapers and “watchdog” journalists means less opportunity to get information about local politicians and governments. Those without a local newspaper to read turn to national news sources, some of which try less strenuously to avoid taking one political side or another. Their feelings about national political figures, then, tend to trickle down to local politicians of the same party — again, because they have been given less information about the local folks.
If you think such a change in the way people are able to consume their news means little in the big picture, consider this, from the report: In 1992, 37 percent of states with Senate races elected a senator from a different party than the presidential candidate that state supported. In 2016 — for the first time in 100 years — not a single state displayed such a division.
Researchers have also found lower voter participation among those news-deprived citizens, particularly in off-year elections (that’s the kind of stuff unscrupulous political officials dream about when it comes time to shove through what would normally be an unpopular ballot measure, for example). Communities without local newspapers — and therefore without the journalists working at those newspapers — see an increase in government spending. Why worry about tossing a few extra bucks the way of your favorite contractor when no one is paying attention anyway, right?
Dunaway even found citizens’ reliance on national news sources changes the way politicians campaign.
Of course, Mid-Ohio Valley residents know they can count on the News and Sentinel to keep them informed about local and state officials and issues. They know we will continue to do our best to provide the information they need.
And if you think that’s no big deal, take a look at what is happening in the growing number of communities who do not have a local newspaper to ask their politicians what they are trying to hide — what they hope you won’t find out.
Local newspapers are important, ladies and gentlemen. There are only 7,100 of us left in the entire country. There were nearly 9,000 only 15 years ago. Without us, the politicians and their parties have a much easier time making the electorate serve them, rather than the other way around.
That is not as it should be.

Glass artist, George Bucquet, creates contemporary hand-formed cast glass imagery that is both meditative and visually stimulating. He began casting hot glass at Penland School, North Carolina in 1984. After completing his studies, George continued to develop new and innovative techniques for creating his original contemporary forms. His unique and elegant bowl forms gracefully capture motion and depth while appearing to emit light from within. The heirloom quality of Bucquet’s solidly rich sculptures is an uplifting addition to any style home.
Working together with precision timing, Bucquet and his assistants pour hot glass, thick and translucent as honey, into a handmade sand mold, then carefully press it into shape. A mold is individually created for each casting and the colored molten glass, formulated from scratch, is melted to 2350 degrees farrenheit in a custom-built furnace. After several days of cooling in an annealing oven, each bowl is skillfully hand-detailed with copper, silver and gold leaf.
Truly a master of his craft, Bucquet continues his quest to push the limits of artistic glass casting. George has recently started producing his new line of nautically inspired glass art. Below is more information.
“There have been a lot of changes with my work, my studio processes, and I suppose I should say, in me, too, over the last year. The current work is quite a departure from the previous modality that I had been developing for several years. There has been a transformation in technique and form, including the aesthetics that come with those changes.
“There has been change in the air for me for quite a while. I had been working with the previous body of work for several years. It evolved, unfolded, and was a great source of enjoyment for me. One piece inspired the next as new design elements showed themselves and new techniques evolved out of need. I’ve been grateful for that. But, I found that it was time for a change. It was time to shake things up a bit. I felt moved to take a whole new direction with my work. The new forms that I was inspired to make required that I take a fresh approach to designing and casting. It involved creating a new glass formula, new mold processes, new casting techniques, new cold work processes, and new tooling in the hot shop; basically, a departure from my previous methodology. To do that I had to stop making the previous body of work to make way for the transformation in the studio.
Process is a big part of working with glass. Most often a desired design requires an innovation in technique to make it all happen. Fortunately, I like that process and the challenges that come with it. However, as friend of mine so aptly stated, “Technique is cheap”. Technique is only a means to an end and not the goal itself, which is important to keep in mind during the creative process when working with cast glass.
As in life, the journey is as important as the destination. That being said, the beauty we recognize in nature — form, function, and the fact that it all even simply exists is astounding to me. It stops me in my tracks. Imitating nature in art seems so futile, yet I feel compelled and inspired to continue to go that direction.
I am drawn to create forms that are reflections of the beauty I see in nature and the human form… so many images.

A brilliant new illustrated version of Lewis Carroll’s nonsense masterpiece in heroic couplets — full of visual riddles, puns and mysteries.
Adventures in Wonderland is perhaps Lewis Carroll’s most famous literary work. It has been adapted countless times in countless ways, from the recent film by Tim Burton starring Johnny Depp, to the famous Disney cartoon, Alice in Wonderland, from 1951. While Alice certainly deserves the attention, she has overshadowed some of Carroll’s other classic works.
Now, The Hunting of the Snark, one of Carroll’s most beloved and linguistically playful poems, comes to life in this wickedly inventive new edition. Perfectly suited to the modern form of the graphic novel, Singh’s illustrated adaptation compliments the timelessness of this classic poem with an edge that incorporates movements in art from Carroll’s time to the present. The Snark may never be found, but the hunt for him has never been more arresting.

The Duke of Cambridge has launched a new website aimed at improving mental well-being in the workplace, in Bristol, on Tuesday.
The “Mental Health At Work” initiative is an online portal that will provide employers with the resources and tools they need to better support their staff.
The project is curated is curated by Mind, the mental health charity, and funded by The Royal Foundation as part of their Heads Together campaign.
Prince William met with UK employers and employees at The Engine Shed in Bristol to learn more about the gateway.
Among the attendees was Kirk Robinson of Mace, who hosts Mental Health At Work ‘toolbox talks’ for the men and women on his construction sites.
The Duke spoke about how people spend more time at work than almost anywhere else, yet research shows that it’s also the place where we’re least comfortable talking about mental health.
The initiative comes after a major study into workplace wellbeing by Mind found that half of workers have experienced poor mental health in their current job.
Paul Farmer, Chief Executive of Mind, said: “We are really proud to be involved in this piece of work, which offers a one-stop shop for anyone looking to improve mental wellbeing in their workplace and support staff with mental health problems.
“We know that employers want to do more and are starting to see mental health as a priority, but often don’t know where to start.

Christopher Mims of the Wall Street Journal published a story this week with the sensational headline “Why Apple Should Kill Off the Mac.” In it, Mims argues that Apple doesn’t have the resources to focus on the Mac, which is clearly less important to the company than its growing lineup of mobile devices.
Long-time, Mac-savvy journalist Glenn Fleishman couldn’t resist rebutting the argument for Macworld. His take boils down to the Mac remaining too vital a part of Apple’s spiritual core, and it being important to Apple to control the devices used for the very development work that makes the other devices so valuable.
The assumption that mobile devices will rise to the occasion of obsoleting desktop computers has run rampant for years. I responded to the sentiment nearly five years ago in a Macworld article: “Why I’m Sticking with the Mac.” The Mac is a general-purpose computer, which makes it a little boring in some respects, but its role as the hub for many customers’ computing needs remains valuable. “Apple’s strength on the desktop permits it to take risks with other products,” I wrote in 2010, and I believe that remains true today.
One sensational headline deserves another, so let’s get to mine: “Mobile is a Fad.” Why have people been so convinced, for years, that mobile is the future, while desktop computers are on the way out? What if mobile devices only fill the variety of temporary needs that arise from how we live today?
Product genres proliferate because they meet a need. In the 1970s when oil supplies were scarce, tiny economy cars began to dominate the market. It probably seemed reasonable at the time to assume that gas-guzzling trucks and off-road vehicles were on the way out, yet as soon as the world became flush with cheap oil again, car sizes ballooned and fuel economy plummeted. For many the demand for utility and power, even in the absence of justifiable need, outshines the specialized economy of smaller cars.
Why are people so excited about mobile? Because they go places. What if people stopped going places? Mobile devices are a godsend for people who are expected to wake up every morning, commute to work, run a variety of errands, and possibly stop for a drink with friends on the way home, expecting the battery life on their pocket and wrist-bound devices to stay at least above 20%.
In the future, your errands will all be handled by a low-paid army of Postmates and Taskrabbits. Your friends, geographically distributed around the world, will be selected from among the group of loyal comrades that chooses to live in your virtual reality: Facebook or Google. And you won’t ever be found rushing out the door at dawn, unless you’ve just woken from a nightmare flashback to the days before everybody worked from home. And now that we’re all at home most of the time, we might as well use powerful, multi-purpose computers with full-sized tactile keyboards. We deserve it.
Hopefully that’s all far-fetched, but I indulge in the dystopian fantasy to draw focus on my contention that neither the proliferation of mobile devices nor the extinction of desktop computers is a foregone conclusion. Each of the computing devices Apple in particular sells today, from the tank-like Mac Pro to the butterfly-light Apple Watch, has its own unique set of advantages and compromises. Most likely, the vast majority of us will find uses for several or all of these classes of products, as we engage in the aspects of our lives that favor either mobility or stability.
Years from now, I suppose it’s possible desktop computers will become obsolete, supplanted by mobile devices. But given the unpredictability of progress, I suspect we’ll look back at both classes of computing devices and chuckle about how silly it all seemed, before the advent of ______. On a long enough time scale, everything is a fad.
