These are strange and stressful times we are living in. In less than a month, most of us have gone from never having heard of the coronavirus, to being cooped up in our homes riding out a global pandemic. Anxiety levels are spiking.
I wanted to share what I am doing to continue to provide psychotherapy to my clients during this unsettling time.
For the time being, I am following the guidance of health officials to avoid all unnecessary contact with other people. This means that all of my therapy sessions will switch over to an online platform. All sessions will be conducted virtually via https://doxy.me/sacredbeginningspsychotherapypllc This platform was chosen because it is HIPAA compliant, ensuring that none of your protected health information will be compromised. It is easy to use and does not require an account to sign in or any form of payment from the client or healthcare provider.
Most of the benefits of in-person sessions will remain the same. You will have the same 50 minute hour to meet with me. One of the important things during these trying times is to keep some sort of structure, routine and predictability. Continuing to see clients and support them through these times is one of my top priorities.
As of this writing, I am still accepting new clients and will offer a free initial consultation appointment to anyone who wishes to begin therapy or step back into therapy after some time away. This is not the time to turn people away during a worldwide pandemic and a time of higher than normal anxiety. As always, please reach out with any questions... firstname.lastname@example.org

How is it that time moves so quickly? My half-hour came and went today in a flash, but was able to make good progress and am ready for stage 2.
Today’s drawing (12×9, Strathmore Vellum Paper) time saw the entire bottom foreground portion of the fabric completed using 4H, 2H, HB, B, 2B and 3B, at least for now as touchups will happen throughout.
I was really feeling the ebb n’ flow of the heavy fabric, silky-smooth and the wear n’ tear by weather elements – so it is we’ll keep the raw and naturally produced patina covering her cement skin. The patina adds to her character, as many have stated. Oh the emotion – the position, tears and hands, each keep her in prayer – how deeply she must feel.

Despite only forming in 2013, New City Kings have already built up one hell of a buzz.
There was a sold-out show at London's Borderline late last year, promoting their excellent debut single Swords & Cannonballs, which was picked for a national online video campaign by the mighty Vevo.
Prior to that, Bestival curators Josie & Rob DaBank chose the band for their Replay Stage (alongside Nina Nesbitt, Sam Smith, The 1975 and London Grammar, no less). Pete Mitchell at Absolute Radio is just one of a number of early supporters of the lads.
Promoters of Ontario's Indie Week Festival spotted them performing in Dublin and immediately booked them to play in Canada, leading to other shows at SXSW and Brownstock too.
There's also the small matter of a gig at London's mighty Koko tomorrow (7 March), supporting Room 94.
Change, the title track to their first-ever EP is cool and confident with an instant hook, like Foo Fighters at the top of their game.
Says lead-singer Mark Konstantinovic:
"Change is a track about people trying to get on with their lives and build things, only to be compromised and forced into living lives that don't bring them satisfaction. About how everyone finds it difficult to make positive changes."
Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino has stunned the world with his latest video 'This Is America' which blends comedy and dance with flippant violence.
Harvey Weinstein wanted one movie, and almost sacked Peter Jackson over it.
That final battle scene? Yeah, it was a poo-poo. Whatever that means.

Dear Editor, As a regular traveller from Birmingham to London both for business and pleasure I can vouch for the fact that services are busy.
Yes a few more carriages can, and are, being thrown at the problem, but feasibility studies have shown it’s not viable to spend that amount on the ageing infrastructure, and we need extra capacity.
By shifting Birmingham to London traffic off the current services, existing lines are freed up to serve local journeys more effectively, with the benefit of faster, better London services. Plus think of the disruption that would be caused on these routes during the upgrades – and the cost to the economy from that.
If the economic benefits are questionable, let’s consider what might happen if we don’t do anything. Most of the developed world is investing in high speed rail. The UK is lagging.
We need to remain competitive, otherwise companies will not choose to expand here and the jobs and prosperity will go where it is easier to do business. At peak times both our roads and our railways are heavily congested and this will only get worse.
Our economy and, therefore, our own well being will be affected. With less manufacturing jobs, the West Midlands needs to attract other business. Being that bit closer to London will attract companies here – it’s cheaper than London, has a large available workforce – and could be easily accessible without losing a day travelling. Another way of looking at it, is that the population of Birmingham will benefit from being closer to the jobs in London. It makes it easier to get to Heathrow, or might boost the fortunes of our own airport, encouraging more routes so we don’t need to travel to Heathrow.
Every development has pros and cons, lets make sure we look at the bigger picture before fighting this down...
Dear Editor, The Transport Secretary’s decision to build HS2 is great news for our region.
Not only will HS2 provide a fast, direct link between our major cities, but significantly for the West Midlands, it will release capacity on our existing lines for more local services.
Many of our passengers recognise that our train services are increasingly crowded, particularly at peak times, so HS2 will release more space that is desperately needed.
This will allow us to run more local and regional services benefiting rail users in the West Midlands, for example, increasing services between Wolverhampton and Birmingham Airport, and Coventry and Birmingham. We can also free space for more freight, taking lorries off our congested roads.
While we recognise there has been opposition along the line of route from people directly affected, it is now important that the Government ensures that work is carried out to reduce the impact on the environment, communities and individuals.
The West Midlands stands to benefit tremendously with 22,000 jobs and a £1.5bn per year boost to our economy. Now the decision has been made we look forward to turning to the next chapter and taking advantage of this tremendous opportunity to revolutionise transport in the West Midlands.

What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.
Chiropractors practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis and treatment. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and are also trained to recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counseling.
The most common therapeutic procedure performed by a Chiropractor is known as "spinal manipulation," also called "chiropractic adjustment." The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by applying a controlled force into joints that have become restricted in their movement often as a result of a tissue injury. Such injuries can be caused by a single traumatic event, such a fall or road traffic accident, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time. In either case, injured tissues undergo physical and chemical changes that can cause inflammation, pain, and diminished function for the sufferer. The Chiropractic adjustment administered to the affected joint and tissues, restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness, and allowing tissues to heal.
Chiropractic adjustment rarely causes discomfort. However, patients may sometimes experience mild soreness or aching following treatment (as with some forms of exercise) that usually resolves within 12 to 48 hours.
In many cases, such as lower back pain, chiropractic care may be the primary method of treatment. When other medical conditions exist, chiropractic care may complement or support medical treatment by relieving the musculoskeletal aspects associated with the condition.
Chiropractors may assess patients through clinical examination, diagnostic imaging and other diagnostic interventions to determine when chiropractic treatment is appropriate or when it is not appropriate. Chiropractors will readily refer patients to the appropriate health care provider when chiropractic care is not suitable for the patient's condition, or the condition warrants co-management in conjunction with other health care professionals.


Nokia is so into touchscreen game that has just released another touchy device, the new Nokia 5230, a multimedia device designed for those who are always on the go. This latest handset to join the touchscreen fold, the Nokia 5230 has been designed to serve up slick on-the-go entertainment, location-based services and act as an easy pocket portal for social networking at low cost.
This is going to be another in the mid-range line for Nokia, following on from the 5530 XpressMusic, and is essentially a 3G update of the phone, coming in at a similar €149 ($213) and in some select areas a Comes With Music version will be available for €259 (from £130 SIM free or £220 on Nokia’s Comes With Music service) price tag. That means when it hits in Q4 it should be free with a 2 year contract.
“Competitively priced at 149 Euros, we believe the Nokia 5230 is an unbeatable offer for many new customers who aspire a device that stars in music, mingles with social networks from Facebook to MySpace, navigates you to where it happens, when it happens, and comes in array of dazzling colors”, says Jo Harlow, Vice President at Nokia.
Brandishing a 3.2-inch widescreen touch display with full-screen QWERTY keyboard and handwriting recognition, the Nokia 5230 features access to the Nokia Ovi store and Music Store for all your application and musical needs, plus Ovi Maps is onboard for navigation.
The 5230, while bringing the HSDPA super speed update (this means staying in the loop and keeping your Facebook and Twitter streams ), also has a much improved battery to compensate, with a 1320mAh effort giving 19 days standby time and up to 33 hours music playback.
However, it only has a 2MP camera without flash, it lacks the WiFi and true GPS of its bigger touchscreen siblings and there’s no memory card in the box either, so for a similar price to the 5530 you’re pretty much just getting better battery life and a 3G connection. But it comes equipped with a GPS, Bluetooth 2.0 and 70 MB of internal memory, a 3.5mm headphone jack and memory expandable up to 16GB via a microSD card. It has three different types of dual-band 3.6 Mbps UMTS/HSDPA and it comes in red, pink, blue, yellow, silver, and dark silver.

Not one friend my age, when growing up, understood my youthful passion for the music of Glenn Miller. It wasn’t that he was an enigma, or that his band belonged to another generation, although that probably had some play in it. The real reason was that they didn’t hear what I heard: the workings of a superior mind, both in terms of musical construction and orchestration, in the often ephemeral popular tunes of his day.
By the time I was 18 years old, I had a massive Glenn Miller collection. It had started with the two “Best of” albums that RCA Victor issued in 1965 but then mushroomed into the three single-LP releases of “Glenn Miller on the Air,” the two five-LP deluxe fold-out book sets of a mixture of unusual commercial recordings and live broadcasts, a couple of RCA Camden releases of commercial discs, the five-LP set of his Army Air Force band, two albums’ worth of his film soundtracks for 20th Century Fox and another, three-LP deluxe RCA set of rare broadcasts. To say I was hooked would be putting it mildly.
Of course, in time I fell away from most of this, realizing that along with the pearls in these collections came the chaff as well. Perhaps my biggest disillusionment was to hear, years later, the Chesterfield broadcasts that the band gave with the Andrews Sisters. Never had I looked forward to a Miller set as much, but his arrangements for the Andrews were routine and predictable, sounding more like generic charts than anything played by the Miller band. I was sorely disappointed.
But what exactly was it that drew me like a moth to a flame when it came to Glenn Miller? Several things. First, and probably most obvious, was that irresistible clarinet-led reed section blend, which even as stringent a critic as Gunther Schuller called the most hypnotic sound in Western music. But if that were all, I would have been just as impressed by the Miller-imitation bands led by Bob Chester and Ralph Flanagan—yet I wasn’t, because there was more. There was his use of ooh-wah brass, not an original device in itself but masterly in the way he used them. There were his brass smears, his absolutely brilliant juxtaposition of reeds and brass, his use of a completely interlocking rhythm section that played as if by one man with four instruments (Schuller also mentioned this), and—last but not least—his innovative and, I would say, unique use of rhythmic and harmonic devices that “built” up each arrangement and made them perfect little jewels that had a beginning, a middle, and an end, just like a good piece of classical music.
As the years and decades passed, I realized that I was not the only one to notice these things. Schuller, a fairly unpleasant egotist who nevertheless had a fine musical mind, was probably the most noted jazz scholar to agree with me, but I had the actions and attitudes of others who I either discussed Miller with personally or read about in articles and books who felt about him the same way I did, to wit:
- Classical conductor Keith Lockhart, current director of the Boston Pops Orchestra but former associate conductor of both the Cincinnati Symphony and Cincinnati Pops orchestras. When he was asked to put on a concert of Miller’s music with the latter, he had no more than a passing acquaintance with Miller’s music, probably by hearing In the Mood and Chattanooga Choo-Choo a few times. But when he started digging into Miller’s scores of such old 1920s tunes like Runnin’ Wild, My Blue Heaven and Pagan Love Song, he was literally stunned by the technical difficulties these scores called for; and, upon hearing Miller’s original recordings, was more than a little shocked that he could get young musicians of his day, many without any real formal training, to play these scores.
- Jazz clarinetist Buddy de Franco who was, for a time, leader of the Glenn Miller “ghost” orchestra during the 1960s and early ‘70s. When I saw him leading the Miller band in one concert, I went up and talked to him afterwards. He told me that, as a member of the rival Tommy Dorsey orchestra in the 1940s, he thought that the Sy Oliver charts he played with Dorsey were superior to Miller’s, but that now he was actually involved in performing them he was amazed at their “harmonic subtlety, rhythmic ingenuity and overall musical concept”—and he agreed with me that, although he liked playing pop hits of the day in the “Miller style,” no one could arrange the music with Miller’s deep knowledge and understanding of what made it tick.
The late jazz pianist Jack Reilly, who worked with the Modernaires (Miller’s vocal group) for a few years and, like de Franco, was startled by the musical sophistication of Miller’s original scores when he actually had to play them.
- Vet Boswell, the last surviving member of the legendary Boswell Sisters jazz singing group, who told me on the phone how Miller, hired as second trombonist on one session, was able in “less than 15 minutes” to completely revamp the arrangement of Alexander’s Ragtime Band from a fairly mundane thing into a masterpiece of musical construction, including a completely original introduction and a two-trombone chorus (played with Tommy Dorsey) that had brass punctuations throughout. (The discographies all list Chuck Campbell as second trombone on this session, but when I told Vet that she exploded at me. “Don’t you think I’d know Glenn Miller when I saw him?” she snapped. “Of COURSE it was Glenn Miller!”)
- Jazz legend Bobby Hackett, who played both cornet and guitar with Miller’s band in its last two years, told Whitney Balliett of The New Yorker that Miller was a “genius” at being able to tweak a score, even those not written by him. “He’d listen to a new [arrangement] and suggest a slightly different voicing or a different background behind a solo, and the whole thing would fall suddenly into place.”
- Louis Armstrong used to carry around a reel-to-reel tape of Glenn Miller recordings and another of Tchaikovsky symphonies, which he played for himself all the time when on the road.
But Miller only arrived at his final form of 1938-44 by trial and error, although the recorded evidence proves that he was an innovator early on. While with the Ben Pollack Orchestra of the late 1920s, he was for some reason only occasionally allowed to write real jazz arrangements, though he did (Waitin’ for Katie and Yellow Dog Blues are two of the best). Once the “society” jazz band of Roger Wolfe Kahn became a big hit with its smooth-but-swinging arrangements that used a few strings in the mix, Pollack sent Miller to go listen to that band for a few nights and come up with some similar arrangements, which he did (i.e., Buy Buy for Baby). His real first liberation came when working as a free-lancer for Red Nichols and his Five Pennies in 1928-32. It was during this period that Miller came up with one innovative score after another, using a multitude of techniques such as an expanded Dixieland sound (Indiana, Dinah), a prototype Big Band sound using eight instruments like a full orchestra (Rose of Washington Square) and even using Benny Goodman’s clarinet like a flute fluttering above the winds, later to move into a boogie-woogie beat for Carolina in the Morning. Nothing seemed too daring or original for him; he just kept trying out one new idea after another.
By the time he worked with Tommy Dorsey and the Boswell Sisters in 1934, Glenn was already chief arranger and second trombone with the then-full-time Dorsey Brothers’ Orchestra. Tommy especially liked Miller’s expanded-Dixieland sound, so that’s what he stuck with, writing a full-band version of King Oliver’s Dippermouth Blues, a cute original tune called Dese Dem Dose, Jelly Roll Morton’s Milenberg Joys, and a six-minute arrangement of Honeysuckle Rose. By the time the Dorsey Brothers’ Orchestra broke up in 1935, Miller’s reputation as a jazz arranger had grown substantially. One story that trombonist-vocalist Jack Teagarden never tired of telling until his dying day was how Miller wrote a completely new extended introduction to Basin Street Blues for one of Jack’s Charleston Chasers sessions, the section that begins “Won’t you come along with me…Down the Mississippi…We’ll take a trip to the land of dreams…Steamin’ down the river to New Orleans.” Teagarden always felt that Miller should be listed as co-composer of Spencer Williams’ song, since everyone in the world sang or played that intro as part of the tune forever and ever, but Miller modestly waved it away as just another day’s work.

Federal officials and cyber security experts both warned Internet users to take steps to protect their home and office routers from an attack by a hacker group that has been linked to Russia.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a statement on 25 May 2018 that foreign cyber actors had used a malware program known as VPNFilter to infect “hundreds of thousands” of home and office routers and other networked devices worldwide.
People using small office and home office routers have been advised to reboot their devices, as well as update their firmware and disable the ability for it to be susceptible to remote access. VPNFilter reportedly has at least one component that cannot be expunged through a simple reboot, making it easier for the user’s device to be re-infected. At least two commercial router manufacturers, Linksys and Netgear, have posted guides for users to follow in securing their devices.
The bureau’s warning came two days after a report from the Cisco Talos Intelligence Group estimating that at least 500,000 devices in more than fifty countries had been infected with the VPNFilter malware.
“The malware has a destructive capability that can render an infected device unusable, which can be triggered on individual victim machines or en masse, and has the potential of cutting off internet access for hundreds of thousands of victims worldwide,” the group said in its report.
Officials have reportedly linked the spread of VPNFilter to a group known by the names Apt 28 and Sofacy, which has in turn been connected to the Russian government.
“This operation is the first step in the disruption of a botnet that provides the Sofacy actors with an array of capabilities that could be used for a variety of malicious purposes, including intelligence gathering, theft of valuable information, destructive or disruptive attacks, and the misattribution of such activities,” Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers said in a statement from the Justice Department.
Talos said in its report that it noted a “sharp spike” on 8 May 2018 in the amount of devices infected with VPNFilter, nearly all of them located in Ukraine; that particular infection, the group said, was also different than the one hitting devices in other countries. It recorded another “substantial increase” nine days later in the same country.
“This continued to drive our decision to publish our research as soon as possible,” Talos said.

The place for this pavilion was easily chosen: the street that separates the school into two pieces. A public square in the middle of the private school.
Under the influence of Jan De Vylder it involved, evidently, a lot of wood and mirrors.

Aaron Rodgers plans to play for Packers in 2021
Jul 26, 2021, 12:30 PM
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has indicated to people close to him that he plans to play for the Packers this season, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
#Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has indicated to people close to him that he does plan to play for GB this season, sources say. That is the expectation. Many factors at play, but with GM Brian Gutekunst saying he is “hopeful” for a positive outcome, there is a glimmer of optimism.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) July 26, 2021
The shift in tone between the two sides is the result of ramped up communication with the season nearing, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported.
Packers CEO Mark Murphy provided a huge glimpse into how the organization is feeling about Rodgers:
“We want him back,” he said at the team’s annual shareholders meeting at Lambeau Field on Monday. “We’re committed to him for 2021 and beyond. We’re looking forward to winning another Super Bowl with him.”
Of course the drama between Rodgers and the Packers still has some people questioning his actions, including teammate David Bakhtiari.
— David Bakhtiari (@DavidBakhtiari) July 26, 2021
Rodgers never technically demanded a trade from the Packers, or even a new contract. He reportedly recently turned down a two-year extension that would’ve tied him to Green Bay for another five seasons.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported in April that Rodgers did not want to return to the team. He skipped Green Bay’s organized team activities and mandatory minicamp earlier this offseason.
Rodgers is under contract through the 2023 season. According to Spotrac, the team can save $22.6 million against the cap if he is traded or released next offseason.

In ""The Hidden Prejudice"", Michael L. Perlin reveals a pattern of prejudice against mentally disabled individuals that keeps them from receiving equal treatment under the law. ""Sanism"", like racism, is a prejudice against a minority population. This mostly hidden prejudice against mentally ill people has pervaded Western culture throughout history and continues to affect our culture and legal system. Under the pretext of ""improving"" society, a judge, lawyer or fact-finder may rationalize turning a blind eye to faulty evidence and render a sanist decision. The pretext for this testimonial dishonesty is that the end result justifies the means. In cases involving the mentally disabled, these results are founded on the prejudicial belief that the mentally disabled are not responsible for or intelligent enough to deserve full rights of citizenship. Perlin argues that these sanist decisions, rationalized on ""pretextuality"", are much more common than most of us are likely to realize.;This book first details the roots of sanism and pretextuality and how these two phenomena have distorted and corrupted mental disability law. The author then describes how therapeutic jurisprudence, or the healthful and helpful use of the law, can work toward ridding the system of the hidden prejudice of sanism and pretextuality. This book seeks to expand the thinking of forensic psychologists, legal professionals and mental health practitioners who work with the law or serve as expert witnesses in court.


Anthony’s Dependable Sump Pump Team
Usually, the signs that your pump is broken are pretty obvious. You might notice that your pump is always running and vibrates excessively.

The point out-lawful cannabis industry has witnessed some essential alterations in 2015.
Even although the federal rules continue being unchanged at tax time dispensary homeowners, growers, medible makers and everyone else in the spots with a point out-legal healthcare marijuana industry should be informed of these adjustments at tax time.
By law anybody who provides in $1 well worth of organization earnings must file a tax return with the IRS. That is when they get to subtract their company deductions. Cannabis business people are no exception. If your point out has repealed health care prohibition, it is the politician’s occupation to get unfair federal legal guidelines altered for their inhabitants and companies.
A adjust in those federal regulations would save American taxpayers much more than $thirteen billion each and every yr. Time has established cannabis is not a gateway drug, nor does it trigger insanity as movie producers after explained it did to thrill their viewers. And if smoking cigarettes a drugs is the difficulty, health care users exactly where dispensaries are offered have realized they can also vaporize, try to eat medibles, drink juice or other beverages, use tinctures, tablets or sprays. Community intake is down where health-related marijuana golf equipment are obtainable.
Every single other tiny or large company is allowed deductions when they do their IRS federal return. Within the states exactly where marijuana is legal for healthcare functions there are firms that deserve to be treated relatively. my herbology There are 23 states and the District of Columbia that now let healthcare cannabis people states collect taxes (or prepare on accumulating taxes) and set control in location for the prescription holder.
Ahead of America’s state-authorized cannabis businessmen and girls can compete relatively those federal laws have to be repealed. A new federal ruling produced in a San Francisco federal court blocks the DEA from prosecuting healthcare marijuana dispensaries if they are condition-sanctioned. The Rohrabacher-Farr Modification bars the Department of Justice (DOJ) from employing federal funds to block state marijuana regulations. This 1603-website page federal paying report in essence provides an end to the use of the taxpayer’s income to block marijuana’s health care use.
The place medical marijuana is available lawfully, sustainable health care is up and overdoses on prescription drugs is down. Marijuana has been claimed to be a super antibiotic, very good for strokes and other mind problems, helpful to reduce pain, nausea, Parkinson, inflammatory bowel illness, PTSD, epilepsy and other seizures, destroy most cancers and Forbes journal even asked if your getting older father or mother must try out it.
Dr. Sanjay Gupta has mentioned we must legalize healthcare marijuana now. This a plant that was as soon as detailed in the U.S. Pharmacopeia and readily obtainable in drug merchants. With its use individuals have walked out of hospices and hospitals to dwell fuller lives. The U.S federal federal government has even owned patent #6630507 given that 2003 for its use as an antioxidant and neuroprotectant.
The DOJ issued a memo that permits Indian tribes to develop and sell marijuana on their land. Other nations and people are also rushing to stop its health-related prohibition for example Israel uses cannabis in their hospitals and for study. Several senators and governors want it legalized for health-related use as soon as again.
The IRS Advisory Code Report suggests marijuana businesses are now legal in some states, but even now unlawful under federal regulation. Cannabis companies are not authorized to deduct all of their expenses simply because the federal federal government says no deduction or credit score shall be allowed for any volume compensated or incurred if such trade or organization (or the actions of the trade or organization) is made up of trafficking in a controlled substance. Cannabis in accordance to federal rules is a managed material with no health care use but the federal authorities retains a patent for health-related use.
These who want to keep health care marijuana illegal are mostly receiving prosperous off of it currently being an unlawful compound, even though a lot of shell out no taxes on the income they make. This consists of the corrupt, illegal growers, sellers, trimmers and medible makers, folks getting taxpayer assistance checks but working in this trade, and individuals who want to maintain cannabis on the black market place. They never care what the citizens want, how they voted, or whether or not it assists a person’s healthcare situation, as lengthy as they make funds.
Healthcare cannabis end users and organization proprietors in the states in which the citizens have voted to make marijuana’s use lawful after yet again require to have typical meetings with their point out politicians to go over the unfair taxation difficulties. The individuals have spoken, now it’s the politician’s flip to get people rules altered.

There will also be a chance to do madrigal work with Paul Elliott, tenor and founder member of the Hilliard and currently Professor of Music at the Early Music Institute of Indiana University.
The week is appropriate for experienced choral singers with good sight-reading ability, as well as those able to do their own prior preparation.
Dates: 9th-17th August 2014
Repertoire for 2014 : Benjamin Britten A Boy was Born and Johannes Brahms Fest- und Gedenksprüche
Cost : 260euros which includes all tuition. Accommodation can be arranged at the 3* Hotel Notre-Dame de Lumières, a former 17th century convent which has a private pool and all rooms are en-suite and air-conditioned.

"Singing with Errol, his choice of music, Provence, good wine and food, warm weather, the high probability that I would enjoy the company of the singers you had invited. The week was good fun, musically challenging (but I expected that!) and it lived up to expectations."
"I think first and foremost is the chance to sing under Errol’s direction. In my mind he is one of the best choral directors not least because he is a singer himself. I like the way Errol demands nothing less than the best we can offer but helps the choir enormously to find how to give their best and always with that winning smile".
"I have come away from both years doing this, feeling I have learned more about my own singing, strengths, weaknesses etc. Key elements- a good friendly group, absence of competitiveness, so a reasonably similar standard and the immense amount of effective hard work by all the team to make everyone feel welcome and important. Thank you! "

WWF urged leading shipping companies to move to LNG
The position was presented by WWF-Russia at the "Transport of Russia" international forum, which is being held in Moscow these days as part of the "Transport Week". Heads of the key ministries and leading transport companies of Russia took part in the plenary.
Addressing the guests, Evgeny Shvarts, Director for Conservation Policy of WWF-Russia noted that liquefied natural gas has colossal advantages over oil fuels currently used by Arctic vessels.
"Refusal of oil fuel will reduce emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere by hundreds of thousands of tons: sulfur oxides and nitrogen, black carbon and others. This is especially important in conditions of rapidly growing cargo turnover on the Northern Sea Route, which will reach 100 million tons by the year 2030," explained E. Shvarts. "In addition, the shift to LNG can solve the problem of emergency oil spills in the Russian Arctic once and for all."
The initiative to transfer ships operating in the Arctic from heavy fuel to more environmentally friendly liquefied natural gas was put forward by WWF in 2016. Now this is a world trend, and in Russia it also gets more and more supporters. Russian President's envoy for environmental protection, ecology and transport issues Sergey Ivanov and Minister of Natural Resources and Ecology Sergey Donskoy have already expressed support for this direction.
At present, the LNG production projects are being actively developed in the Arctic, along the all Northern coast from Arkhangelsk to Yakutia and Chukotka. In fact, LNG can be recognized as a local fuel.
"Under these conditions, the Northern Sea Route may become the world`s first transcontinental passage where vessels are fueled only with LNG. We call on all the transport operators to start shifting to a promising and environmentally less harmful type of fuel," concluded Evgeny Shvarts.
"At the same time, it is important that not only shipping companies take the course for modernization under LNG, but also that oil and gas companies that implement LNG projects in the Arctic include supply of gas to the domestic market for bunkering in their business strategies," adds Extractive Industries Environmental Policy Officer of WWF-Russia Alexeу Knizhnikov. "In this regard, the Russian Arctic LNG pioneer "Yamal LNG" could become the first company that will undertake such obligations."

Steroid cutting stacks for sale, clomid weight loss
Steroid cutting stacks for sale
All the amazing weight loss stories attributable to steroid cutting stacks are mainly because of the action of Clenbuterol. Although Clenbuterol has not been approved for weight loss in clinical trials, it seems highly likely that it can work as an effective aid in achieving the desired weight loss. Another important variable that could influence the weight loss is the duration of steroid use. In general, the longer people use steroids, the greater the weight loss achieved, steroid cutting stacks for sale. The longer the steroid was used, the greater the effect, cutting for steroid stacks sale. There is a very good chance that users who took steroids on a long-term basis would also gain some weight for the same reason. In the case of the drug Clenbuterol, the length of use varied, tren cutting steroid cycle. Although patients whose first steroid use happened after they had already gained weight from diet and exercise tended to have more weight loss, this is true of the others, tren cutting steroid cycle. Clenbuterol has a shorter half-life of 8-9 months for this reason. The length of steroid use also seems to influence weight loss by influencing the way the body metabolizes testosterone. The body generally attempts to break down testosterone in the liver, rather than by using androgens like testosterone into its own structure and making it usable as a food source for the body, cutting steroid tablets. In the case of clenbuterol, the body actually breaks down both of them, making it usable. Therefore, one can expect that body composition will be less affected by long-term use of clenbuterol. This observation is supported by numerous studies performed on a controlled, weight-loss trial by our group , how much weight loss on clenbuterol. In this weight-loss trial, the first steroid use went on for 10 years. At the beginning of the study, weight loss was normal, with a gradual loss over the next 10 years, which collagen peptides help with weight loss. After five years, there was a slight loss to the left side of the body fat scale, but only a slight decrease of the fat mass, which collagen peptides help with weight loss. At the end of the ten-year phase, there was a slight increase in the mass of the right-handed side of the body. This was followed by a similar result for the right side, but by a much smaller percentage of the population. The body is more likely to lose weight and lean body mass (BM) by taking clenbuterol in this way and not using androgens, cutting up steroids. One can speculate in favor of androgens as a mechanism to explain why anabolic steroids have been found to cause weight loss while the use of clenbuterol has not, but it is also highly unlikely.
Clomid weight loss
The men were randomised to Weight Watchers weight loss programme plus placebo versus the same weight loss programme plus testosteroneand placebo. Those who had lost a significant amount from baseline to month eight received 100 mg of testosterone, whereas those who did not received placebo. In addition to measuring body composition, the study also assessed depression, fatigue and sleep problems, best injectable peptide for weight loss. The placebo group had lost significantly less weight than the men who took the testosterone, best sarm for rapid fat loss. There was no difference between the groups in the amount of body fat and total weight loss, clomid weight loss. The total and lean mass of the placebo group reduced more than that in the testosterone group. The men taking testosterone lost the same amount of body fat as those who'd been placebo to start with, can you lose weight from prednisone. There was no difference between the groups in the amount of body fat or total weight loss from weeks one to eight, testosterone enanthate 250 cycle for cutting. In the placebo group all levels of stress and sleep problems improved, loss weight clomid. In the group taking testosterone, the levels of cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone, were reduced but there was no improvement in sleep or exercise. However, it should be noted that the differences in weight loss were small, the findings based on one study, can you cut prednisone pill in half. Although, it is important to note, the results are based on only a small sample of men. The research team concluded: "[A] loss of 5kg in body weight was related to a significant reduction in mortality and significant improvement of depressive and sleep disturbances and no change in quality of life, best peptide stack for fat loss. The mean time spent on treatment, a measure of health maintenance, was reduced, though no improvement was noted in sleep." The article's abstract reads: "A group of normal weight, middle-aged, and older men were randomly allocated to receive either Weight Watcher's® 4 Week Weight Loss Program [100 mg/day] + Testosterone or placebo. The weight change from baseline was calculated using the equation: Total Weight Loss (kg) = Total Body Weight (kg) – Current Body Weight, (kg)/2 At week eight, all three groups were analyzed for the incidence and prevalence of adverse events following treatment. The data from the studies suggest that weight loss from the treatment group was associated with a significant reduction in all adverse events that were measured. The reduction in deaths was not significant in either group, best sarm for rapid fat loss0. All other adverse events (including those which might be expected, as a result of side effects, adverse event rates, or other factors) tended to be significantly lower in the group taking Testosterone than in the group taking placebo during the entire study period.
Prednisone is a powerful steroid that changes a lot of the ways your body functions, so side effects are very common and can last awhile after being treated. One thing I would like to focus on here while talking about side effects is the possibility of severe liver damage with long-term use. We will not be discussing this as the drug is considered to be very safe to use. As mentioned, we won't be discussing what side effects you may be experiencing due to this medication. However, as we will be talking about, it is also possible you may have liver damage. In the United States, most doctors consider it more dangerous to prescribe steroids or any type of prescription painkiller to people with a history of liver damage in the past. The reason for this is because most people just assume steroids will keep them healthy as long as they don't get liver damage. I am not a doctor, but I am a pharmacist and I can tell you, this is very misleading to many people. Liver damage, even long term use of steroids, will probably lead to liver damage. I mean, I know it sounds crazy, but in the past a lot of doctors didn't believe this. I think a lot of doctors think steroids must be healthy or they aren't helping these people. The truth is that liver damage is very rare with long term use of steroids. Most doctors don't believe it happens very often or at all. It is more likely an accident. This fact is very important because what most people don't understand when they start using steroids is this isn't a drug of abuse. These guys are really just using it for pain. What happens on an athletic field is you can make yourself better and the better you are, the more pain you can take. This is the natural process of training. Pain is a very important component of your training because it is a necessary part of the adaptation process. Long term use of steroids, even on the bodybuilder level, will cause the body to adapt. This is just the way the body works. The more you use that pain, the weaker and less capable you will become over time. Pain makes you work harder for more repetitions and sets because it makes you work harder to maintain your body structure. Once this is happening, it doesn't matter how long you are using the steroids, it also doesn't matter whether is is long term or short term. This is why I find many people go long term and they go long term for the same reason. They are simply trying to maintain their muscles, but are not using steroid because they don Similar articles:

Guest House (TV series)
Guest House (Urdu script: گیسٹ ہاؤس) is a 1991 Pakistani comedy-drama series directed by Rauf Khalid which was produced and shown by PTV in the early to mid-1990s. The setting is a fictional guest house named Guest House located in a posh area of Islamabad. It is run by Mr. Shameem and his wife with the help of three permanent regular employees, Naveed, Murad and Rambo.
|Written by||Qaiser Farooq|
|Directed by||Rauf Khalid|
|Country of origin||Pakistan|
|Original network||Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV)|
|Original release||1991 –|
Every episode starts with the arrival of new guests and the involvement of the guest house's employees in their comic and tragic situations. Almost all the episodes end with the guest's problems solved by the help of all-too-readily helpful employees and reluctant owners of the guest house.
The pilot episode introduces the janitor of the guest house, 'John Rambo', in a very dramatic way. He is holding a janitor's wiper like a rifle or machine gun and thrilling background music is playing. The camera moves in a way that the wiper actually looks like a rifle at the beginning of the scene. Later it turns out that 'John Rambo, Cockroach Killer' is inspired by the main character of the Hollywood movie First Blood.
The character of Rambo was an instant hit and played a vital role in the popularity of the series. Producers wanted to remove the character after the pilot episode, but his success made them decide otherwise. One of the producers admitted on TV that after the success of Rambo in the pilot episodes, he was the focus of every episode.
Cast and character roles
All the main characters associated with the guest house are shown as very simple people and, on several occasions, have been fooled by charlatans posing as PEERS (fake jogis) or film directors. They tend to get involved in personal matters of their guests and try to resolve their issues.
Mr. Sharneem (played by Khalid Hafeez) is the founder and owner of the guest house. Although he is very faithful to his wife, she always suspects him of having an affair or having another wife mostly because he likes to flirt and has been caught doing so on many occasions, especially with small-time female celebrities who stay at the guest house. He is very stingy and doesn't like his wife's occasional shopping sprees, which are the main cause of their domestic problems.
Mr. Shameem is a good businessman. He is always ready to please his guests and tries to meet their often outrageous demands. He is a strict taskmaster and often deducts small amounts from the salaries of his employees in order to punish them.
Unlike his employees, he does not like to get involved in his guests' personal problems. However, he often finds himself in situations where he has to get involved to bail out his employees and save the reputation of his guest house.
Mrs. Shameem (played by Sarwat Ateeque) is the wife of Mr. Shameem and is always addressed as Mrs. Shameem, never with her first name. She is very outspoken and has no qualms expressing her opinions, even if it means disapproval of the guests. She has almost the same powers in the matters of the guest house as her husband, but she scarcely uses them. She loves shopping and complains that her husband is stingy and doesn't support her shopping. She is often nostalgic of her youth and remembers the long hair she used to have. She is compassionate and easily gets involved in the personal matters of the guests. She often takes sides with the women in huests' domestic disputes. She can easily find the reflections of her own personal life in the personal problems of others.
She is very soft on the employees, often takes their side, and tries to stop her husband from punishing them. She even hid Rambo in a room when he was fired by her husband. Later she persuaded Mr. Shameem to rehire him.
John Rambo (played by Afzal Khan) is the janitor of the guest house. He is illiterate and belongs to a village in the suburbs of the city. He is simple and honest and has very high self-esteem. He never accepts any tips and feels offended when they are offered. He can be easily persuaded into anything if he feels it is morally right. In one episode, he goes on a mission against pollution and is beaten when he tries to stop a pop concert to prevent noise pollution.
He is obsessed with Hollywood action movies, the Rambo series in particular, and wants to be an action film hero. Many guests have tried to exploit his ambition for movies, often costing him financial losses. He wears a sleeveless black T-shirt with a skull and crossbones and a pair of loose orange pajamas. He has a butterfly tattoo on each arm.
He has a strange style of introducing himself. He crosses his arms, keeping them at a small distance from his body, poses his head at an angle to his torso and says this English-language sentence in the local accent: "My name is Rambo Rambo, John Rambo, Silver Stallone, Cockroach Killer." He always mispronounces "Sylvester Stallone" as "Silver Stallone". When he is excited, he adds "After Kar" at the beginning of his signature sentence. This is a combination of "After All" and "Aakhir Kar" (Urdu: آخر کار). Both of these phrases have the same meanings in English and Urdu respectively.
He always wears a janitor's wiper like a rifle on his back. His well-intentioned misadventures and indulgence into the private lives of the guests often put him in trouble with Mr. Shameem, and Mrs. Shameem comes to his rescue, who has sisterly affection for him.
Rambo, after giving his best performance in Guest House, became very popular in Pakistan and then suddenly became a Lollywood star and played many lead and supporting roles in Pakistani movies. During his successful film career, he proposed to his fellow actress Sahiba (daughter of the famous actress Nisho) and later married her.
Murad (played by Tariq Malik) is the 'bell boy' of the guest house. He hums "TIP TIP karta mein kumray mein aata hoon" when walking around the guest house, meaning, "I am entering the room singing, TIP TIP". He drops subtle hints to the guests in order to get tips from them. He often starts a conversation with a guest asking if they know English and then proceeds to ask if they know what T-I-P stands for. His other pet phrase is "Easy Feel" which he uses in many different contexts.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.
In Ann Aguirre's Mortal Danger, Edie Kramer has a score to settle with the beautiful people at Blackbriar Academy. Their cruelty drove her to the brink of despair, and four months ago, she couldn’t imagine being strong enough to face her senior year. But thanks to a Faustian compact with the enigmatic Kian, she has the power to make the bullies pay. She’s not supposed to think about Kian once the deal is done, but devastating pain burns behind his unearthly beauty, and he’s impossible to forget.
In one short summer, her entire life changes and she sweeps through Blackbriar, prepped to take the beautiful people down from the inside. A whisper here, a look there, and suddenly . . . bad things are happening. It’s a head rush, seeing her tormentors get what they deserve, but things that seem too good to be true usually are, and soon, the pranks and payback turns from delicious to deadly. Edie is alone in a world teeming with secrets and fiends lurking in the shadows.
In this murky morass of devil’s bargains, she isn’t sure who—or what—she can trust. Not even her own mind.
The stunning cover most definitely drew my attention, then the promise of a paranormal story that sounds unique and I was excited. But what we get is actually so much more!
Starting with a big gasping moment, Mortal Danger immediately draws you in!
The story begins with an utterly broken Edie, and I must say that the first chapter already made my heart ache. Edie’s feeling of defeat and despair was nearly palpable through the pages. When beautiful mysterious Kian enters the picture, he makes her a deal she can’t resist. Fight back the bullies and change your life. She gets 3 wishes granted similar to a jinnie – but in return she must promise one big favour she has yet to discover what this will be. But Edie has nothing to lose anymore so she enters the Immortal Game!
As Edie is in her mind a far cry from being beautiful, her first wish is to be beautiful to finally move along the beautiful and rich people in her prep-school. Those kids that tormented her.
Bullying – and the true value of beauty and friendship!
I think Edie’s wish to be beautiful will hit some readers the wrong way. Is being beautiful really helping when you are being bullied? Is that the way around it? While I was a little shocked in the beginning, her wish totally made sense for Edie and if you follow the rest of the story Edie discovers that beauty is not everything, beauty will not change who you are and it will not make you happy! So I urge everyone who might be thrown off by this, please read on – there is so much more to be read between the lines!
What happened to Edie that it completely broke her, completely make me tear up! How horrible kids can be to each other, is never something I will understand, but sadly is happening every day at each school. Edie doesn’t tell us right away what happened until the last few chapters, it was only always hinted.
Edie had such a hard time at her school and never had any friends, so I was happy to see that she finally opened up to some kids and discovered some real and wonderful friendship!
Playing an Immortal Game with some true shocker and a little romance to ease it up!
The paranormal element was quite intriguing and unique. The theme of bullying to pack into a paranormal story was a great way to deliver such a heavy topic. However, I would have liked to understand a little more about The Immortal Game and I wish for a little more explanations than what we got. But as this is a trilogy I have hope for more.
The story comes with some real and true stocking moments that I didn’t see coming in this full force! There is quite a bit of death, that left me quite uneasy but added to an overall thrilling storyline even more!
Kian was a wonderful way to ease down the tension and the shocking moments. He comes with his own barrage and is just a wonderful boy who is quite the anchor for Edie!
Mortal Danger by Ann Aguirre is a very dark and edgy story about bullying, the real value of beauty and friendship packed into a thrilling paranormal story. The story has quite a few shocking moments that left me gasping. The paranormal world building had to take backseat to the bullying theme so that I was a little lost about what really is going on a few times. But, as more books are coming I’m hopeful this comes in the next books!
This is a heavy story that maybe not everyone will like, I however truly was amazed by the depth of this story and think that this Mortal Danger most definitely stands out among the “usual” Young adult book!

People often talk about self-driving cars and think of big names from America like Tesla and Waymo. But, there are also Chinese companies working on this, like AutoX. There’s a video below that shows how a driverless taxi called RoboTaxi works. It’s driving on city streets in Shenzen, making left turns and passing other cars […]
Autonomous driving is a technology that is rapidly becoming more widespread and popular. It involves vehicles that can drive themselves, without the need for a human driver.
This technology promises to have a significant impact on our daily lives, both in terms of road safety and in terms of comfort and convenience. However, despite its potential benefits, autonomous driving is still the subject of controversy and concern. In this investigative guide, we will examine in detail what autonomous driving is, how it works and what its advantages and challenges are. In addition, we will explore the opinions and concerns of different stakeholders, from vehicle manufacturers to government authorities, and assess the future of autonomous driving in modern society.

Is it possible to have a variable file-path in order to upload an image in PowerPoint? I want the user to specify the file path using the 'file-picker' dialogue pop-up. So that the user can browse the computer like a normal file upload.
Notice that in my code I need to specify the path of the file and since this presentation will be used by more than one person, I cannot define a path and name.
I attached a print and also the code snippet.
Sub uploadImg() Dim tgtSlide As Slide Dim prj As Shape Dim sld As Slide Dim picPath As String Set sld = ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.Slide Set tgtSlide = ActivePresentation.Slides(sld.SlideIndex + 0) 'get the presentation save path first picPath = ActivePresentation.Path 'define the image full path picPath = picPath & "/imagens/capturar.png" 'add a linked image/shape to target slide 'Set prj = tgtSlide.Shapes.AddPicture(picPath, msoTrue, msoTrue, Left:=500, Top:=130, Width:=190, Height:=105) Set prj = tgtSlide.Shapes.AddPicture(picPath, msoTrue, msoTrue, Left:=500, Top:=130) With prj .LockAspectRatio = msoTrue 'can be set to msoFalse if you don't need to lock aspect ratio '.Width = 190 .Height = 105 End With prj.LinkFormat.Update 'goes to the target slide ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.GotoSlide (tgtSlide.SlideIndex) End Sub

How to eat through DC like Obama, only much better
Washington DC Bad news for the Prez, he’s got yet another approval rating to worry about. We’ve been watching his every meal… burger after burger, bite after bite, and believe there’s some serious room for improvement. We dug into his dining record and put together some advice for how he AND you can do better when it comes to dining out in DC.
Obama’s Order at Lincoln: Mr. President went for a cheeseburger and kale salad with lemon vinaigrette when he dined at this equally presidentially named restaurant with a quartet of winners from a "Lunch with Barack" contest.
Better Move: Chicken Pot Pie. Yes, over the burger. Crazy you say? Trust us, Lincoln's crust is thick and buttery, and the luscious filling is a far cry from that Stouffer's gelatinous paste you may have suffered through in darker times. It'll give you the energy you need to fist bump janitors and fill out the meanest of March Madness brackets.
Obama’s Order at Boundary Road: At yet another campaign supporter thank-you gathering, Barry O had himself a hanger steak with seasonal vegetables.
Better Move: Foie Gras Torchon PBJ (homemade peanut butter and grapefruit Malört marmalade). Congrats for putting down the cigs, but The Renegade needs another vice (the bad habit, not-Biden variety). Foie gras, that’s a good one. You’ll curse your mother for never inserting luscious goose liver into your schoolyard snack. Bonus: it would have been entertaining to watch PETA lose its collective mind after he ordered this.
Obama’s Order at The Coupe: While dining with some young folks helping him with outreach surrounding the Affordable Care Act, Obama nonetheless indulged his beef cravings again with The Coupe Burger -- a patty topped with sautéed mushrooms, cheddar cheese, and fried onion rings. Though he did sub sautéed spinach for fries.
Better Move: Pensacola Pâté. Okay, guy who orders a burger in every restaurant, let’s expand your horizons just a tad to this dish which is actually just code for some fancy pants meatloaf. The Coupe’s Pensacola Pâté leans a little redneck, but IT’S WRAPPED IN BACON. The ‘loaf is coated with a honey Dijon glaze and served with silky taters, gravy, and green beans.
Obama’s Order at Taylor Gourmet: Obama and Biden made a joint visit (not the Obama in his carefree younger days kind) to Taylor to show gratitude for their decision to provide a discount to furloughed employees during the shutdown. The Commander In Chief went with the Race Street, sporting roasted turkey, prosciutto, pesto, and mozzarella cheese.
Better Move: Federal Street. This aptly named meatwich is layered with pepperoni, dried capicola, hot capicola, Genoa salami, roasted tomato vinaigrette, basil, and fresh mozzarella. An obvious upgrade from a lettuce nest and not-so-exciting turkey. This is TG’s best Italian, and may just help the Commander in Chief make nice with all the feds who day drank endured sequestration.
Obama’s Order at The Liberty Tavern: Another American-sounding establishment for another meal meant to thank a handful of supporters. The President went with line-caught swordfish with a white bean, sweet pepper, and Italian sausage ragu perched atop escarole and pickled Swiss chard swimming in clam froth.
Better Move: Pineland Farms beef short ribs served with egg noodle stroganoff, heirloom carrots, and pickled mustard seeds. The Prez is practically withering away in the White House, he clearly needs something heartier, like this tender short rib perched atop creamy stroganoff. Taft would have been all over this.
Obama’s Order at Good Stuff Eatery: The man likes his burgers! At a lunch to thank staffers for their work on debt negotiations, he went for a plain old cheddar cheeseburger.
Better Move: Now this one’s just a crime. Good Stuff Eatery has a Prez Obama Burger. He skirted his NAMESAKE burger, which is hella more delicious than a plain old cheeseburger. Spike Mendelsohn's POB is adorned with applewood bacon, onion marmalade, Roquefort cheese & horseradish mayo sauce. Don't make the same mistake he did, even if you don't get the bonus joy of eating a burger named for you.

For the fourth year of the Trans Day of Resilience (TDOR) project, sponsored by the national organizing group Forward Together, ten transgender, gender-nonconforming, and nonbinary visual artists and poets of color came together to create original art centered around trans resilience. Trans Day of Resilience is a reimagining of Transgender Day of Remembrance — a day on which we memorialize those our community has lost to anti-trans violence.
This year, trans artists from different creative backgrounds have collaborated to create multimedia pieces for the TDOR project. As part of this process, each artist partnered with a writer or poet to produce two distinct pieces of art and poetry. Though each pair’s process was different, all of the work is in conversation with trans and gender-nonconforming people of color’s joy and resistance.
Art: Amir Khadar (MN) Poem: “litany in which you are still here” by kiki nicole (Portland, OR)
“Being a part of this project has been an affirmation to my identities as a nonbinary Black artist. As TGNC people of color, we have always had to be resilient, so our art has become a place of healing,” says Amir Khadar, one of this year’s artists. “To gather with others who share my identities, and find sanctuary in art while creating for our community has been an extremely powerful and impactful experience.”

My reading nook (featuring my pink-accented bookshelf) is finally set up in my new place! I love having a cozy corner to read in! I had so much fun putting the pink accent onto the inside/back of these shelves…I didn’t have colored contact paper, so I used pink wrapping paper and double-sided tape. Such a fun crafty DIY project!

Morgan Business Sales, Australia’s leading national business brokerage firm, have announced their award winners for the 2022/23 financial year.
One broker in each state was presented with a ‘Business Broker Of The Year’ award, while a few other awards including the prestigious ‘National Business Broker Of The Year’ were given out.
The awards were based on sales data from the preceding 12 months and were presented in person at the Morgan Business Sales annual conference which was held at Coolangatta, QLD.
In the state of Queensland, the winners for the 2022/23 financial year were Rod & Deb Jessen, the dynamic husband and wife brokerage team.
As well as winning the competitive ‘QLD Business Brokers Of The Year’ award, the pair also took out the highly coveted ‘National Business Brokers Of The Year’ award. A feat they also achieved in the preceding year.
Dru Morgan, the director of Morgan Business Sales, was full of praise for this result and the pair’s consistent performance.
“Rod & Deb Jessen are a remarkable team. They draw on their years of experience as business owners to show true empathy for both buyers and sellers to get deals over the line. Everyone they work with loves them. It’s no surprise to see them take out the top award again this year.”
When queried whether he believed Rod & Deb could take out the award for a third consecutive time, Mr Morgan declared that while they’ll be in the mix, they will be hard pressed.
“There are so many fantastic listings coming on to start this new financial year. While Rod & Deb have their share of them, they are definitely not alone in having a selection of quality stock. Next year’s awards will be our closest yet.”
Reflecting on the event and the year that had been, Mr Morgan stated that he couldn’t have been prouder of his team.
“The 2022/23 financial year was another record setting year for our brokerage as we continue our trend of year on year growth. This would not be possible without our amazing team. It was great to get the opportunity to recognise some of the outstanding work our brokers are doing.”

This year’s San Francisco Pride Parade went off without a hitch, with over 280 groups participating and nearly one million in attendance. The theme, “Generations of Strength” was utilized consistently across floats, displays, and performances. Veterans, church groups, and cheerleading teams, LGBT support groups, television networks, and other major companies paraded down Market Street, accompanied by upbeat music and vibrant colors.
The parade began in the city’s famous Embarcadero, following a straight path in the direction of the Castro District. The route ran straight across Market Street, beginning at Beale St. and ending at 8th. Just beyond the parade route’s end, San Francisco City Hall was adorned with rainbow flags, spelling out the word PRIDE.
Many prominent California politicians were in attendance, including U.S. Senator Kamala Harris, who commended this year’s theme for its political relevancy. San Francisco Mayor-Elect, London Breed, was also featured in the parade.
Grand Marshalls of the event — chosen by the SF Pride Board of Directors or through public vote — featured a mix of celebrities and community leaders. They included Kin Folkz, prominent Bay Area activist and CEO of Spectrum Queer Media, and Our Lady J, a transgender writer and performer who currently works as a writer and producer for the new FX series POSE. In addition to Grand Marshalls, local activists were honored with awards in categories such as service, community, and creativity.
Beyond the theme of LGBTQ+ Pride, parade participants also rallied for other causes, such as gun and immigration reform. Brightly colored signs with the phrases “Disarm Hate” and “Keep Families Together” were carried up by dozens of marchers.
Behind the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium — which marked the end of the parade route — stages and booths were assembled, and spectators were invited to celebrate with food and music. Speakers and performers took up several stages, while food and clothing vendors lined the streets. Participants were asked for a donation of $1 to $5. Money went toward funding the event. In the past, leftover sums have been donated to various local LGBTQ+ non-profits.
This year’s parade marks another successful closing to San Francisco’s longstanding Pride Month traditions.
