Tim and Faith took the stage on April 6, at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas, and starred into each other’s eyes as they sang Tim’s new single. HollywoodLifers, do you think Tim and Faith looked happy together?
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill looked happier than ever during their performance of “Meanwhile Back At Mama’s” on April 6, and we loved it! The country stars who have been married for 18 years, squashed any hint of divorce drama by singing the romantic duet and holding hands as they left the stage.
Tim McGraw & Faith Hill’s Sweet ACMs Duet
Faith, 46, and Tim, 46, currently have a residency at the Venetian hotel in Las Vegas and they are undeniably a great combo. They heated up the ACMs with their romantic duet and it had everyone falling for them all over again. They sang Tim’s new song, which had just been released that same day.
Tim & Faith Speak Out About Divorce Rumors
For years the couple has been plagued with divorce rumors and in November, they spoke out to People magazine about the rumors.
“[Rumors] seem to be running like crazy right now for some reason. It’s perplexing,” Faith said. “I don’t know why ‘happy’ can’t be a story.”
Tim also echoed his wife’s sentiments by saying that they “laugh” about the ridiculous reports.
“We’ve been married 17 years, and since the first week we were married those things were out,” Tim said. “We don’t even think about it. The only time we ever think about it is [when we] worry about the kids. But they’ve been around it, too, so they laugh it off.”
A report claimed that Faith thought Tim had chemistry with Taylor Swift, and that she was jealous of it. Together they have three daughters: Gracie Katherine, Maggie Elizabeth, and Audrey Caroline.
HollywoodLifers, what did you think of their performance?

In 2011 Common Ground in partnership with Musician Maeve O’Hara and Bluebell Community Development Project began a pilot Over 55’s adult music programme. Now part of our VOICE programme this pilot has developed into a year round music programme for adults in Bluebell Community Centre. The group have performed at the opening of the Bluebell Community Centre and at many music events in Our Lady of the Wayside National School.

Rosary I sit holding a bouquet of rosaries from my Mother’s belongings. One for each day in a week.
I twist them around my hand
to see the pattern
of my mother’s prayers.
I know the story of most of them. First communion,
and one for the birth
of each child
including the one in heaven.
The beads melt into tears
as I recall how many times
I was the rosary intended.
they adorn my bedpost. I pick one and start
the circle litany
until I reach the end
which is the beginning...
This is the time to restore relations with family and friends. I reach out to my Creator as I feel the wonders of this season of life. My attitude evolves to become a part of the whole. Recalling past divisions, I seek to mend. Finally, I have reconciled to living this day with joy and hope. Reconciliation.

The Danish government has launched a campaign to stop “irregular immigration” called Telling the Real Story.
The campaign, which will target Sudan, Somalia and Ethiopia, will provide would-be migrants with credible information about the perilous conditions of the journey to Europe and the risks associated with it.
Using TV, radio, social media and personal interaction, the campaign will share information conveyed by people with real experience of the perils of the journey.
A total of DKK 15 million ($2.5 million) has been set aside for the new campaign, which is funded through Danish development assistance.
“An average of three people drowned in the Mediterranean Sea every day last year,” Immigration Minister Mattias Tesfaye said in a statement.
“Many are subjected to violence and abuse along the way, and over half of those who make it are rejected asylum. After that, European states have issues sending them back home. It’s totally untenable,” he added.
According to Tesfaye, the Danish government is working on a fairer asylum system in order to slow down migrants before they arrive at the EU border, “for the benefit of the European countries and migrants themselves”.
“People are risking their lives on an extremely dangerous journey in belief in a better life in Europe. As a country, we have an obligation to tell those people the truth about that journey, and that the stay in Europe is not what the human traffickers envision,” Development Cooperation Minister Flemming Møller Mortensen explained.
In 2015, Denmark made international headlines for launching an information campaign to prevent Africans from undertaking the perilous migration journey to Europe.
According to the authorities, it made an impact. A subsequent survey documented that over 50 percent of Eritreans were less inclined to pay human traffickers to smuggle them to Europe after seeing or hearing about the 2015 campaign.
The current project, Telling the Real Story, builds thus on the 2015 campaign with the same name, whose funding has ceased. The information campaign is carried out in collaboration with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

My boyfriend and I have two dogs.
Our "baby" is a 1 y/o Jack Russell Terror (Terrier) named Addison, Addi for short. She enjoys chasing lights, foil, shadows, and I'm convinced imaginary images that only she sees. She's overly friendly and just a joy.
Our other dog is a working dog, but still a part of our little family.
He's a German Shepard named Gage and he is the local police departments Police K9, and my bf is his handler. If you've ever doubted how intelligent dogs were, You would have to see a workign dog like him in action. I've even taken a couple bites him (with a bite sleeve of course)
And the two get along just great,despite their great difference in size.

I have 2 dogs a fox terrier (Meesha) and a kelpie X staffy (Chloe).They are both girls. They love to escape by digging holes or moving the big rocks from the fence everytime I go out. Naughty lil girls. Meesha is the one that calls all the shots on their breakouts, and is the one who comes home first to dob in Chole for getting out. She does this by jumping all over me.

What an honor to be mentioned!
My baby, Dingo, is a Carolina Dog. But, I swear, she is the least dog-like dog on the planet. She looks like one, but she hates other dogs, has an obnoxious lick(every night she is sooo loud when she licks herself) and has better things to do than eat. I just love this dog sooo much. Here (http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f336/DingoMutt/Dingo/IM000559.jpg) is a pic of her.
I have a Dingo Blanket, a 3' by 4' blanket with my darling Dingo on it. :D
The way she barks when we drive up... is just so cute. She barks as much as she can without inhaling. The last barks are always short and funny, but she is just very protective.
As you may have guessed, she is my namesake. We thought for a while that she was a mutt, so Dingo is a mutt... DingoMutt was born. I use that name everywhere, I am so in love with this dog.
I grab her muzzle and kiss it, I rub her belly, she sneezes... I will remember this dog forever. She is by far the best creature that will ever cross my path. I am just so in love. I LOVE YOU DINGO!
EDIT: Forgot the "other" ones :p
Well, I have 2 black Labs. They were bred by my grandparents, and we got them because we loved their mother. They are sisters, from different litters. When we got Lola, the younger of the two, she was sooo tiny! Like... a stuffed animal! I love her sooo much. But one problem. She is an idiot. She keeps going to Dingo for more. Dingo growls and bites her, but she keeps comin back.
Misty is the older one, but she is smart. They are all lovely dogs, and I love them. I will try to get stacks for all of them, Dingo will cooperate, but I'm sure Misty and Lola will take forever! Unless I use those treats...

The image is from one of my new favorite stamp companies - Northwoods Rubber Stamps. I colored them with watercolor markers and even though it doesn't show in the picture - I added some glitter here and there.
So, head on over to 4 Crafty Chicks and enter your Masculine card today! We can't wait to see what you come up with!
See you soon!

The Jets defense played well in the first half Thursday, making Tyrod Taylor look useless in Cleveland.
They limited the Browns to 19 yards passing and sacked Taylor three times while holding the Browns scoreless for most of the half. Things changed in the second half, however, when Baker Mayfield led the Browns to a 21-17 victory for their first win since 2016. The Jets defense was gassed and unprepared for Mayfield.
Now, New York has another tough test against a promising Jaguars offense on Sunday afternoon. After playing an incomplete game against Cleveland, here are four keys for New York’s defense in Week 4.

The following question was answered at the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants 2009 Conference in Houston.
IAABC consultants are certified, distinguishing them from others who may have the words “animal behaviorist” on their business cards but don’t have the credentials. Learn more at iaabc.org.
Q Our adopted 4-year-old Shih Tzu has been a wonderful addition to the family, but she has a peculiar issue with the car. She’s reluctant to get in, and when she does, she shakes. She doesn’t get car sick, but she is very uncomfortable. Any ideas on how to help her overcome this fear?
— J.B., Cyberspace
A “Maybe her earliest associations with the car haven’t been fun, so we have to change it up with pleasant associations,” says dog behavior consultant Charlotte Peltz of San Miguel De Allende, Mexico.
Begin to adjust your pet’s attitude by taking her to the car and encouraging her to go in the back seat for a treat. Once she scarfs the yummy, allow her to leave the car. Gradually start feeding her meals in the back seat; you could even feed her as she’s strapped into a car seat. (Car seats are safe for kids and smaller dogs for the same reason — when there’s a crash, unless they’re strapped in, children and small animals become projectiles.)
This desensitization process may take days, weeks, or even longer. When your dog seems content dining in the car, put her in the back seat, buckle her in, drive down the driveway and then return home for a meal. Once she’s cool with that, head around the block. When you return, always feed your dog. Make several of these trips so your pup realizes car trips are followed by a sensational meal (as opposed, perhaps, to visits to the vet or a boarding facility). When you think your pup is ready for a longer ride, drive to a dog park, a friend’s house or any destination that will thrill your dog.

Balance Brew was born from a simple desire to help you be the healthiest you can be, and able to do everything you are meant to do.
We live in a fast-paced urban city constantly balancing work and family. There are just too many of us with sedentary lifestyles and precious little time to take care of ourselves.
Upon the foundations of our innovative brewery, supported by an established team of respected TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) physicians and practitioners, Balance Brew’s philosophy is steeped in tradition and adds a science-based and holistic dimension to wellness.
This is super important - finding time daily to exercise and allow “Qi” to flow. When our “Qi” flow is good, our immunity increases.
Balanced Diet & Better Sleep
Eat in moderation. Excessive intake of any food will knock the Gut off balance. With a stressed Gut, sleep quality gets affected. To improve sleep, try soaking your feet in hot water for 10 minutes before bedtime.
Negative emotions such as anger, anxiety, worry or jealousy impact our health. Find ways to let go of negative thoughts and to balance your emotions.
Consume Natural Herbs
To build immunity and strengthen the body.
These ideas are key to the Balance Brew brand. We are a young company and our dream is to share and motivate you to seek wellness and a balanced lifestyle. Looking forward, with the support of this community, we will move into research and evidence-based healing.
You can trust that Balance Brew is committed to providing the best quality herbs and brews to ensure your body is balanced and healthy, and you are primed to meet your daily needs.
Let's work together to care for your mind, body and spirit. Live your best life!
Traditional Herb Remedies for a Modern World
Over 5000 years of science on medicinal plants and herbs, yet Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) remains fairly inaccessible to the modern world largely due to the complexities of translation. At Balance Brew we are determined to decode TCM for a world without barriers and share its healing and restorative knowledge.
Balance Brew is focused on translating TCM knowledge from expert TCM physicians so everyone understands its principles and core tenets.
Develop a range of wellness products that heal, restore and nurture using TCM and so continue its legacy into the present day.
Our TCM physicians and herbalists believe health is more than a state of being free from disease. It also includes the physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual. It's not just medical treatment of health problems that promote optimal health, but also improving the harmony among these five areas that make up your overall health:
Circulatory Health: Qi
Proper circulation is key to maintaining optimal health. It supplies the body's vital organs with enough oxygen and nutrients needed to function. Poor blood circulation can potentially harm the heart, kidneys, and brain, and it may even cause fatal consequences if left untreated. In TCM, Qi is identified as a 'vital energy' that helps maintain the body's ability to regulate its internal environment. The oversupply, deficiency, and even the disturbance in the flow of qi can cause illness. Acupuncture, herbs, and nutritional therapy are used to regulate Qi.
Physical Health: Yin and Yang
All aspects of TCM are based on the principle of Yin and Yang. Yin in Chinese means the 'shaded side', and yang represents the 'sunny side’. Yang is described as bright, warm, dry, and light, while Yin is described as dark, cool, wet, and heavy. The lower parts of the body are associated with Yin, while the upper parts of the body and the back are associated with Yang. Generally, Yin and Yang are opposites yet are interdependent - one cannot exist without the other. They are mutually transformative; they typically change and affect each other harmoniously, but these can become imbalanced, causing illness. In TCM, illness is understood as states of Yin and Yang imbalance. There can either be an excess or deficiency of the Yin and Yang.
Emotions can greatly affect our bodily functions. There are seven emotions identified by TCM, grief, melancholy, fear, anger, joy, and worry, which, when abrupt, severe, or chronic, can cause illness. Strong and uncontrolled emotions can disrupt the flow of your Qi and blood circulation and, as a result, injure your internal organs:
- Grief and melancholy injure the lungs
- Fear and fright injure the kidneys
- Anger injures the liver
- Joy injures the heart
- Worrying injures the spleen
Practicing meditation, tai chi, and other yogic practices, as well as avoiding stressful situations, is crucial when it comes to regulating your Qi.
The mind-body connection is a crucial component of Qi. If your mental health is out of balance, your body will be. Intellectual health means striving for good mental health, continued intellectual growth, and creativity in life. This includes being curious and open to new ideas, reading books, magazines, and research materials, keeping abreast with social and political issues, and learning and practicing a new language, hobby, or skill.
Though western medical schools emphasize physical wellbeing, our Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners see true health as encompassing all aspects of our being. We consider spiritual health and facilitate a sense of freedom and meaning as integral parts of our approach to wellness. Having a deep sense of meaning, a purpose in life, and being aware of your full capabilities to give and receive love is important to attaining a healthy mind and body.

Disaster Assistance Program
A nationwide network of architects to help communities before and after a disaster
AIA's Disaster Assistance Program equips architects with the knowledge and skills to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from a disaster. As a result, architects’ disaster response processes, protocol, and training are aligned with federal frameworks.
Since 1972, the program has ensured that AIA, Chapters, and members are prepared to assist communities nationwide and internationally from leadership and volunteer roles. This strengthens AIA Component preparedness and fosters mutually beneficial relationships with jurisdictions and the larger disaster-response community.
Join the nationwide network of architects to:
- provide technical expertise to make sound development decisions and inform local and regional planning and policy efforts
- participate in building code development, enforcement and permitting
- train for and share lessons learned from post-disaster building safety assessments
- coordinate with local agencies such as the Office of Emergency Management, the Building Department and the Office of Planning
- advocate for Good Samaritan legislation that provides liability protection for design professionals volunteering post-disaster and Portability of Licensure laws that enable out-of-state assistance
Disaster Assistance Handbook
The third edition of this handbook will help you understand your role in preparing for and responding to disasters.
AIA Resilience and Adaptation Certificate Series
Do you want to integrate resilience into the design services your firm offers? The Resilience and Adaptation series is your answer. This exclusive multi-course series covers hazard mitigation, community resilience, and adaptation. Take all courses to learn best practices for mitigating risk for hazards, shocks, and stresses and adapting to changing conditions. Perfect for mid-career professionals.
The Safety Assessment Program
The AIA SAP training provides architects, engineers, and certified building officials with the knowledge and protocol to evaluate homes, buildings, and infrastructure in responding to post-disaster. Adapted from the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Safety Assessment Program (SAP), this seven-hour training accredits participants with the nationally recognized certification that is often required for volunteer building safety evaluators nationwide.
Good Samaritan State Statute Compendium
Good Samaritan legislation affords critical liability protection to architects providing disaster assistance.
Hazard mitigation design resources
Discover resources that can support hazard risk reduction development, design, and construction choices. Resources include risk analysis data and tools, maps, and guidelines for new and existing buildings.
This two-day course provides professionals with the training necessary to integrate resilient community planning and building design strategies with civic and commercial projects located in hurricane prone areas.
What can architects learn from the tornado in Joplin, Missouri?
This report details how AIA Springfield established a partnership with the city of Joplin after an EF-5 tornado tore through the town.
Good Samaritan laws: Critical to disaster recovery
Without Good Samaritan laws in place, a licensed architect may be exposed to questions of liability even though he or she is acting in good faith to preserve the safety of a community.
Two hurricanes are gone, but are my buildings safe?
The AIA Safety Assessment Program training provides specialized knowledge and technical skills to architects in order to determine if a building is safe and habitable.

Southwark Council has won the right to a judicial review of its attempts to compulsorily purchase leaseholders out of Phase One of the Aylesbury Estate.
Since September Southwark has been engaged in a legal battle with the government’s secretary of state for communities and local government, Sajid Javid, on whether it can legally buy-out eight remaining leaseholders.
The council urgently wants four Aylesbury blocks Chartridge, Chiltern, Arklow and Bradenham to be emptied, so that it can give them to Notting Hill Housing to be demolished and redeveloped. It has already begun demolishing Phase Two of the estate where leaseholder do not stand in their way.
At an oral hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice today, His Honour Judge Collins gave Southwark the right to its judicial review. The council will now attempt to have Mr Javid’s decision to block the compulsory purchase order (CPO) overruled.
Mr Javid previously denied permission for the CPO on the grounds that it would “contravene” leaseholders’ human rights. The leaseholders had been offered compensation of less than £300,000, and some even below £250,000, which would also force them to leave the area to find new homes.
The hearing lasted for one-and-a-half hours, while three barristers took turns to argue on behalf of Southwark Council, the government, and for the leaseholders.
Leaseholders have told the News that while Judge Collins gave a verdict that the council now has “arguable” grounds for its case, he also made remarks in support of the leaseholders.
The judge was quoted as saying the leaseholders’ situation should be “ameliorated” (or made better) and that this “should be done immediately”.
Commenting on the outcome of today’s hearing, councillor Mark Williams, Southwark’s cabinet member for regeneration and new homes, said: “This is a positive step for the council and the hundreds of residents who want to see major improvements on the Aylesbury estate.
“We still have some way to go, but I am pleased that we now have the opportunity to remake our case and challenge the government’s refusal to permit a CPO that would allow us to build 800 new homes, including hundreds at social rent as well as extra care homes for some of our most vulnerable residents.”
One leaseholder, Judi Bos, told the News: “After reading the council’s skeleton arguments before the hearing, I thought we had a problem.
“It’s disappointing. If we had won today the council would have had to negotiate with us for better deals. But this just delays it. Now they have another excuse not to negotiate with us.”
Judge Collins also said in the hearing that the forthcoming judicial review would be settled before the end of the legal term, which is understood to be early April.
Southwark will now have 35 days to present their full case ahead of the judicial review.
The four blocks in Phase One of the estate have already been emptied of 442 tenants and 33 other leaseholders. The plans for regenerating Phase One show some 800 homes will be built instead.
The council aims to eventually redevelop the entire 1960s estate with 3,500 homes in total, 50 per cent of which will be at “affordable” homes, the rest will be for sale.
Housing campaigners from the 35% Campaign are crowdfunding to pay for a barrister to represent the leaseholders in the upcoming hearing.
They have so far raised £5,800 of their £7,000 target.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- U.S. stocks ended a thinly traded session mixed Wednesday as investors weighed the latest corporate results against global economic and debt concerns.
The Dow Jones industrial average () rose 4 points, or less than 0.1%, to close at 11,410. The S&P 500 ( ) added 1 point to 1,193. The Nasdaq composite ( ) fell 12 points to 2,511.
Stocks opened higher following upbeat quarterly results from Target. But the gains faded later in the day and investors gravitated toward more defensive stocks that offer rich dividends.
The broader market was held back by weakness in shares of big technology companies. Dell (Fortune 500) plunged 10% after the computer maker issued a disappointing sales outlook late Tuesday. Hewlett-Packard ( , Fortune 500) tumbled over 4%, while Cisco ( , Fortune 500) and Intel ( , Fortune 500) both lost about 1%.,
"Technology is not cooperating," said David Rovelli, managing director of U.S. equity trading at Canaccord Adams. He said a strong euro, which can hurt the profits of U.S. companies that do business in Europe, was behind the weakness in the tech sector.
Overall, traders remain wary given the uncertain outlook for the U.S. economy and the challenges facing European leaders as they struggle to resolve the festering debt crisis hanging over the euro zone.
U.S. stocks fell Tuesday after German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy spoke about Europe's ongoing debt troubles, but offered little in the way of action.
Concerns about the U.S. and Europe were behind the extreme volatility that rocked stock markets around the world last week. But trading has been more subdued this week with many shell-shocked investors moving to the sidelines or taking their summer vacation.
On Wednesday, only about 500 million shares changed hands on the New York Stock Exchange. Thin trading volumes can often lead to choppy trading on Wall Street.
"It's a combination of people being exhausted from last week, and the fact that this is traditionally the lowest volume period of the year," said Jason Weisberg, vice president of Seaport Securities
Traders were also bracing for inflation data due early Thursday, which is expected to show that U.S. consumer prices rose 0.2% in July.
The so-called core Consumer Price Index, which excludes energy and food price inflation, is expected to be up 1.7% in July over the last 12 months.
The Federal Reserve's comfort zone is for a core inflation rate of between 1% and 2% a year. The central bank has pledged to hold interest rates low for the next two years, but investors are concerned that inflation could prevent the Fed from providing additional monetary stimulus.
"People are very nervous about that [CPI report] because it's been creeping up and it could tie the Fed's hands," said Rovelli.
Companies: Target ( , Fortune 500) stock gained 2.3% after the discount retailer posted earnings ahead of forecast and delivered an outlook for the current quarter and year that were slightly above consensus estimates.
Abercrombie & Fitch (stock took a hit after company executives sounded cautious in a conference call with analysts.) reported quarterly earnings and sales that beat analysts' expectations. But the
Dell (Fortune 500) shares fell more 10%. Late Tuesday, the No. 2 PC seller cut its sales growth forecast for the remainder of fiscal 2012 due to "a more uncertain demand environment." Dell said it expects sales to rise been 1% and 5%, down from the previous range of growth between 5% and 9%.,
Shares of No. 1 PC maker Hewlett-Packard (Fortune 500) -- which reports earnings results Thursday -- were also under pressure Wednesday, falling over 4%.,
Economy: The Labor Department's Producer Price Index, which measures wholesale inflation, rose 0.2% in July.
Economists were expecting July PPI to come in flat, after being down 0.4% in June.
Core PPI, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, jumped 0.4% last month -- slightly more than expected. The core index also rose 0.4% in June.
World markets: European stocks closed mixed. Britain's FTSE ( ) 100 fell 0.5% and Germany's DAX ( )lost 0.8%. France's CAC ( ) 40 added 0.7%
Asian markets ended mixed. The Shanghai Composite lost 0.3% and Japan's Nikkei fell 0.6%, while the Hang Seng in Hong Kong added 0.4%.
Oil for September delivery gained $1.15 to $87.80 a barrel.
Gold futures for December delivery rose $1.90 to $1,795.70 an ounce.
Bonds: The price on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury rose, pushing the yield down to 2.18%.

VIXX's Hyuk bags BL drama 'Color Rush 2' amid Leo's Instagram PDA with EXO Xiumin
The VIXX fandom is currently buzzing after Leo posted a photo with EXO’s Xiumin sparking fun romance rumors among the two fandoms who started shipping the two male idols all in good humor - their public display of affection causing them to swoon and marvel at their friendship.
But now it seems like November is a month of BLs (Boy Loves) in the world of K-pop.
On November 2 it was announced that Jaehyun of NCT was to star in the remake of ‘Bungee Jumping of Their Own’, making it the idol's first project as a homosexual character. Following news of that, November is seeing another idol turned BL main lead with VIXX’s Hyuk (Han Sang-hyuk).
Is VIXX's Leo working on EXO Xiumin's solo debut? Duo's pic causes chaos among fans
VIXX’s Ravi launches 2nd record label ‘The L1ve’ and signs Ailee, fans call it a ‘power move’
‘Color Rush’ gets a season 2
After several announcements in the past about the short and sweet BL ‘Color Rush’ getting a season 2, the production has confirmed the filming of the second season of the worldwide hit drama. Fans are excited to see Hyuk do something so bold as he already has been working on multiple acting projects since his short cameo appearance in the K-drama ‘The Heirs’ in 2014.
As of 2021, Hyuk is already said to have been working on two films while his first web-drama appearance was the 2017 Naver TV show ‘Romance Special Law’. ‘Color Rush 2’ will mark his second web drama and first BL appearance.
About ‘Color Rush’
The first season of the short K-drama ‘Color Rush’ was based on the web novel of the same name. The show won the 2nd Blythe Contest in the BL category. The show has become a phenomenon in which a neurotrophic protagonist who sees the world in gray is suddenly met with new colors when he meets a ‘probe’, a fateful opponent, and experiences an intense experience.
The show was first aired in 2020 starring Hwall, a member of the fourth-gen group The Boyz, and who made his acting debut with the show. Ever since the first season aired and rose to global popularity, fans have been asking for a second season.
About ‘Color Rush Season 2’
It is reported that the second season will focus on Yoohan, who is searching for both his mother and his probe, Yeon-woo. His classmate named Sehyun is trying to protect Yeon-woo. Actor Yoo Jun will be continuing his role as Yeon-woo, while VIXX’s Hyuk has been cast as Sehyun. Sehyun helps Yeon-woo uncover the mysteries about his mother’s disappearance, but he is also hiding a secret.
Jeon Daejin, the CEO of the Storywiz, the production house of the show, said, “Color Rush is on its way to being exported to Japan and Thailand, thanks to its popularity not only in domestic OTT, but also in global markets including China, Southeast Asia, Europe, and South America.” He added, “Our goal is to become a good partner who can create a new story IP with creators like Color Rush and expand its value.”
The second season of ‘Color Rush’ will be broadcast on various OTT platforms, including KT media channels, with the goal of simultaneously broadcasting worldwide at the end of December.

Frank, my dad was invited to audit Father McGloin’s history class at USF in the early 1950’s and always spoke highly of him and his history class. My dad’s store of historical knowledge was certainly influenced by Father McGloin. I sensed that they knew one another socially, possibly through family friend Father Richard E. Mulcahy who was another noted USF professor. It made an impression on us kids that our parents, with a sound high school education, were devoted readers and conversationalists about an array of topics.
Hearing of McGloin’s preference for Lone Mountain instead of sanctuary atop Mount Davidson or even Prayer Book Cross Hill in Golden Gate Park makes me think the good professor was playing to the co-educational interests of his male students. Taking Father McGloin’s suggestion one would find themselves seeking shelter from a quake amidst the old campus of Lone Mountain College for Women. As for the capability of the BART Tube, I recall engineers describing it as built like a wet noodle thus able to withstand seismic insult. I’ll take mine al dente on high bedrock, thank you.
I’m sure enjoying and appreciating the response to a call for books to recommend about local history and lore. This is good stuff everyone!

Most of you probably know the feeling – life is moving too fast! Kids grow up. Specifically kids in my hood who used to make jewelry with me at the pool, who were half my size grow up to be gorgeous girls and I try to pretend I have something in my eye and I’m not getting choked up about how beautiful they are…..she is…
See what I mean! Gorgeous!
You know how I love the detail shots. I had her stand on a stack of No Parking signs to show off her rockin’ shoes!
I want you to know that I didn’t make her eyes more saturated. That is the real color of her eyes! I know, right?!
This next one is kind of a joke because it’s what she does to her mom every time she wants to take a picture of her. I think it’s funny.
A has a car that I would have killed for in HS! I had to get a shot of her driving it.
A is also an amazing swimmer. We got some great shots at the pool which was fun and new for me. I love to try out new places especially when they are special to my client.
Footnote – A doesn’t like to have her photo taken. She wasn’t looking forward to this. I told her my goal was to have her at least say it wasn’t too bad after all if not “that was fun”. Her mom told me as we pull up to our last spot that she said “OK, this is kinda fun.” Yes!!!

The hematopoietic microenvironment plays a critical role in orchestrating the homing of stem cells and their subsequent proliferation and differentiation. It does so by elaborating a number of hematopoietic growth stimulatory and inhibitory factors including cytokines, chemokines and morphogens. These are under active investigation, and genetically modified stromal cell populations are being developed to optimize stem cell expansion, or specific lineage differentiation such as B cell, NK cell, dendritic, megakaryocytic etc. We are evaluating the differentiation potential of subpopulations of primitive marrow cells. These studies are designed to determine the plasticity of stem cells and the developmental interrelationships of various stem cell types, including those expressing the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, and totipotential stem cells represented by murine, primate and human embryonic stem cell lines. Research into human embryonic stem cells is directed into understanding the steps involved in the differentiation of the totipotent cells into hemangioblasts, and subsequently into hematopoietic stem cells and endothelial progenitors with functional capacity in vivo using xenografted immunodeficient NOD/SCID mice.
Figure 2 Human “cobblestone” area of phase-dark cells developing after 5 weeks of co-culture of adult G-CSF mobilized CD34+ cells on a stromal cell line. The cobblestone area-forming cell (CAFC) is considered a pluripotent stem cell.
The laboratory is involved in a number of translational projects using human tumor xenografts models of orthotopic or disseminated human tumor cell lines in NOD/SCID mice in conjunction with whole body luciferase imaging technology. We are currently employing panels of human hematopoietic tumor lines (lymphoma, multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia) and solid tumors (ovarian, breast, colorectal,) and evaluating therapeutic antibodies directed against receptors (VEGF receptors, Insulin-like growth factor receptors, Flt3 receptors). We are also evaluating small molecules targeting telomerase or tyrosine kinases, antagonists of HSP90 or CXCR4, and synthetic analogs of epothilone and migrastatin.
Experimental Hematology Research
This laboratory undertakes research on hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor populations, in normal mice and humans, and in neoplastic and genetic diseases.


‘“Come on Science boy, tell us about the Hadron Collider.”
“You know, CERN, the Big Bang experiment, they found the God Particle!” Adikavi was exasperated by Ed’s lack of interest in the magazine that occupied his working hours.’
The Hadron Collider is the large experimental structure created underground, running from Switzerland to Italy. It is CERN’s (the European Organization for Nuclear Research. CERN is the acronym from the French Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire) latest attempt to recreate and understand the conditions of the early universe. This is achieved by firing particles from opposite ends of a gigantic horseshoe-shaped particle accelerator and studying the effects of the explosion when the particles crash into each other at immense speeds. The most successful and momentous search was achieved recently when evidence of the Higg’s Boson (the so-called ‘God particle’) was detected by two independent teams, the first physical evidence since Professor Peter Higgs predicted its theoretical existence in 1963.
In the context of Echoes in Time, the introduction of Hadron Collidor, and the subsequent naming of the band in its honour, should make the reader think about what this it is and wonder why it appears here. It prefigures the later discussions about creation, photon escapes and the gravity well of the black holes. The search for events at the beginnings of the universe is a scientific preoccupation, and a major one for Echoes in Time.

Salisbury loses power at pumping station; water customers asked to take emergency conservation measures
By Mark Wineka
Salisbury officials asked water customers to take emergency conservation measures Thursday as crews worked feverishly to repair electrical damages at the Yadkin River pump station.
The loss of power at the intake has prohibited the pumping of raw water to a city reservoir.
Contractors were spending Thursday night trying to bring two 5-million-gallons-a-day diesel pumps on line. If successful, the pumps could provide 7.5 million to 8 million gallons a day of water, which is about the average daily use this time of year.
“Tomorrow’s a real important day,” City Manager David Treme said Thursday. “If everyone would help us tomorrow, that would greatly assist us.”
At 4:30 p.m. Thursday, city officials asked customers of Salisbury-Rowan Utilities to initiate Level II mandatory water conservation measures. The city’s top water users were being informed of the emergency and asked to conserve water as much as possible without affecting their operations.
The city also has activated its emergency water connection to Statesville. That waterline can supply up to 2 million gallons of water a day. Salisbury-Rowan Utilities Director Jim Behmer said Salisbury was receiving about 250,000 gallons as of Thursday.
In addition, Salisbury asked China Grove, Landis and Kannapolis not to use their normal daily allocations from Salisbury. That will save the city about 670,000 gallons that usually go to those municipalities.
Salisbury Fire Chief Bob Parnell contacted area volunteer departments and asked them to restrict all unnecessary water usage. The Fire Department has initiated “established procedures” to ensure an adequate supply of water should a major fire occur, city officials said.
Rowan County Emergency Services Director Frank Thomason also has been kept up to speed on the situation. Treme credited Randy Welch, the Duke Energy district manager in Salisbury, for helping in the water emergency.
Behmer estimated Thursday afternoon that the city’s reservoir had gone down about 10 feet since the loss of power at the pump station. The city has two raw water reservoirs, which normally contain about a four-day supply of water, but one reservoir is not available because of maintenance work being conducted.
Salisbury-Rowan Utilities supplies water to residential and business customers in Salisbury, Rockwell, Spencer, East Spencer and Granite Quarry, besides having some contractual agreements with businesses outside the city and with the southern Rowan County municipalities.
The high winds that ripped through Rowan County Wednesday caused damage to a Duke Energy transformer that afternoon. Duke Energy responded by sending a new transformer to the pump station site, but the first transformer sent did not work.
A second transformer was installed Thursday afternoon, but the city realized other electrical system repairs at the pump station were needed, setting in motion the back-up plan of using the two diesel pumps.
But the recent rains have caused flooding at the pump station and made access troublesome.
Treme said the Yadkin River was supposed to crest at 7 p.m. Thursday.
“The working conditions are difficult,” Treme said.
Citizens and Salisbury-Rowan Utilities customers with questions or concerns are being asked to contact the utility’s hotline and speak with Services Manager Patrick Kennerly at 704-202-4660.

Election schedule likely to be announced soonAbdul Gh Lone 19 September 2023 0 COMMENTS
ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is likely to announce the schedule of general elections in an ongoing month (September) 2023, ARY News reported citing sources.
According to sources, the ECP decided to end the uncertainty around the announcement of election schedule and considering to issue the election schedule before the allotted time.
Sources said that the election date is likely to be held in last week of January 2024 according to the expected election schedule.
Furthermore, the proposed election schedule has been forwarded to Election Commission of Pakistan.
Earlier, Caretaker Prime Minister (PM) Anwaarul Haq Kakar rejected any possibility of delay in holding general elections due to ‘security threats’ at Pakistan’s borders.
He affirmed that measures would be taken to ensure that the election process proceeded smoothly without disruptions and emphasized the commitment to upholding the democratic process in Pakistan.
It is pertinent to mention here that President Arif Alvi suggested November 6, 2023, as the date for general elections in Pakistan in a letter addressed to Chief Election Commissioner.
President Arif Alvi noted that the National Assembly was dissolved on Prime Minister’s advice on August 9, 2023, and the Constitution of Pakistan empowers the president to announce a date for general election “not later than ninety days from the date of the dissolution (of assembly)” so election should be held by the eighty-ninth day of the date of dissolution of Assembly i.e. Monday, November 06, 2023.

If you plan to visit Napoli or Amalficoast, do not skip the beautiful island Capri! It has a spectacular coastline with colors you cannot imagine. Do also not forget to bring along your walking shoes as most places to visit at the corners of the island are only to be reached by foot. Because of the wind we did not used the chairlift to the top of the island, but it must be REAL good to see the whole island and the coastline of the mainland.
The b&b we stayed at was just perfect! Run by a friendly couple that takes really good care of you. Rooms are very clean with a cosy atmosphere. It is also really quiet compared to Napoli! Breakfast is very complete and well prepared. Bettola is a few steps away from the endpoint of the busses where you can hop on a bus to Capri 'downtown'. Anicapri is next door and a nice village to visit with some nice shops, bars and restaurants (Il Boccone!). To conclude, Bettola del Re is a perfect place to relax, enjoy the seaside view and also close-by Anacapri and Capri city for visits. One remark, because you are on an island, act according to the very useful advice of the b&b managers as it will save you a lot of time if heavy winds are expected.More

Another morning has been granted;
Thank you faithful midnight stars!
My eyes flutter as the chirping birds
upon the satisfied and constant maple
outside my bedroom window:
They open up to such a world of possibility:
I see such a garden of peace,
where tiny blossoms of simple cosmos
burst at the bud, as if shrieking,
“Tend to me! Such new beauty,
encapsulated within my healthy being!”
Oh, I hear you darlings...
Precious roses, dilly dally daisies…
But I am distracted by the startling Sun.
Its beams shine past trees
And hits my clouded window:
The wear of winter ever so evident.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I am always looking at you
through these windows I have created!
What a love, stained the brightest shade
of vibrant cosmos hue in my memory forever.
How intricately tainted, this stained glass window,
this passageway of all the light I’ll ever know:
all of this colorful deception:
the result is intriguing.

This case begins by following a woman by the name of Annie Hilderbrandt and her decision to switch from investing in the money market and bonds to investing in the stock market. As investors we are often afraid to invest in a stock that we have no background on or knowledge of. We will most likely turn to a mutual fund because all of the stocks have been selected by someone who is knowledgeable about the stock market. This analysis is a great reference source for ethical investing and for ethics in general. I hold an associate's degree in business management and a bachelor's degree in business administration.
The author did a great job at reviewing a very popular business case. This case and analysis can be a very good learning tool for companies and their owners alike.

2022 New Maserati Ghibli Review
If you have yet to read a 2022 Maserati Ghibli review, allow us to share the good news with you. The latest model has earned raves across the board from the biggest names in the auto industry. While it’s hardly a surprise that the Ghibli maintains its legacy as a stunning sport sedan with unbridled power, this Italian powerhouse continues to raise the bar on the luxury segment with brand new flourishes that transform the roads of Arlington. Read the new Maserati Ghibli review below, and start planning your test drive in Hurst.
Maserati Ghibli Review: Car and Driver
In their new Maserati Ghibli review, Car and Driver said that “The 2022 Maserati Ghibli brings a ton of Italian attitude to the mid-size luxury sedan party.” They loved the fun driving experience and the powerhouse engine offerings, noting that the latest model is “a joy to pitch down a curvy back road.” Take a look at other notable quotes:
- “It maintains a level of refinement that keeps it in the hunt with some of today’s best luxury sport sedans.
- “Delivers driving thrills better than most rivals”
- “The Maserati’s styling and performance make it endearing, plus its relative obscurity means it turns heads like Italian exotics from Ferrari and Lamborghini.”
Maserati Ghibli Review: MotorTrend
Another addition to the rave reviews, MotorTrend praised the fantastic engines and performance of the 2022 model. They noted that the “lineup of Ferrari-built engines is at the center of its appeal”, and remarked that the entire lineup was fun to drive with luxe interiors – perfect for the Fort Worth and Plano roads. Other comments include:
- “The cabin is a nice place to spend time thanks to rich leathers and the excellent new infotainment system.”
- “Twin-turbo V-6 models make a wonderful sound and plenty of power.”
- “The V-8 in the Trofeo delivers awesome thrust with a distinctive power delivery reminiscent of a naturally aspirated engine.”
Maserati Ghibli Review: Kelley Blue Book
In their new Maserati Ghibli review, Kelley Blue Book called the Ghibli “a little more exotic than a BMW 5 Series or Mercedes-Benz E-Class,” and said it “excels in character.” They loved the overall aesthetic, as well as the rumbling engines and generous standard features. Explore the other points below:
- “The Maserati Ghibli is a fun car to drive by anyone’s standards.”
- “There are plenty of excellent interior materials available like wood, carbon fiber, and even silk. “
- “Exterior styling is one of the strong suits of the Maserati Ghibli. This is a stylish sedan that refuses to be ignored, with elegant body lines and a bold front grille bearing a huge Maserati trident emblem.”

General Release Jordan Retros have been tanking a lot via retail and several factors have caused this situation. The Nike DTC ( Direct To Consumer) offense is the main reason behind the current problems retailers are facing; the retail apocalypse is progressively getting worse. I don’t claim to have the remedy to this illness but this week I went into my lieutenant columbo’s routine and did a quick research on how general release Jordan retros are performing via third party marketplaces. I chose the recently released Air Jordan 13 Island Green as my guinea pig to represent the bigger population. The sneaker released on November the 9th with a $200 retail tag. As soon as I wrote my projection post on the number of pairs produced and realized that Nike had flooded the market with so many pairs, it became obvious that retailers were going to bite the dust again. So I decided to monitor the progress of the value of the Jordan 13 island green on third party marketplaces in order to raise a few questions. I organized the data collected in three different categories – before release date, on release date and after release date. And the histograms below will show you the findings and inferences we can draw from it.
Before Release Date
Before November the 9th ( the official release date of the Island Green 13), a total of 129 pairs had been sold with size 10 and 10.5 leading the charge ( 17 pairs sold). Now let’s see what the average sale price was per size sold.
The histogram above is the average sale prize per size sold and you can clearly see that the highest the shoe sold for was $220 ( and that’s for a size 7.5). I want you to also notice that a size 7 sold for $166 ( which is about 21.69% below the $200 retail value). Sizes 8,8.5,9,9.5,10,10.5,11.5,12.5,13 and 14 also sold below retail ( about 8% below the $200 retail value after tax). The overall resale value of the shoe prior to its release date was: $198.21 ( which is about 6.5% below the $200 retail value with MD tax included)
I’m not going to raise any questions yet, now let’s look at how the shoe performed on November the 9th ( which is the actual release date).
On Release Date
A total of 83 pairs were sold on the day the shoe was released via third party marketplaces. Now let’s see what the average price was on the specific day.
The highest sale recorded was for a size 7 at $220; but the interesting fact to notice here is how the shoe overall dropped in value on that day. Let’s quickly calculate the overall average resale value of the shoe:
the average resale value is now $181.79 ( which is about 14.25% below the $200 retail value with MD tax included). Also let’s let’s mention how the overall value went from $198.21 before the shoe released officially to $181.79 on the day it released. The shoe lost about $16.42 in its after market value. Now let’s jump into the sales’s records after release date.
After Release Date
A total of 374 pairs have been sold after November the 9th; let’s see how the average resale value is though.
The highest sale recorded was $225 ( for one size 15); and even that the overall average value is: $168.2 which is about 20.66% below the $200 retail value with MD tax included. I’m being very generous here because I included the $225 ( which could be considered an outlier). So if I were to take away the size 15, the overall average sale value would’ve been $164.14 ( 22.57% below the $200 retail tag with MD tax included. Now let’s quickly see how the value declined within a 30 day interval.
The Air Jordan 13 Island green has literally plummeted in value within a short time span. Even before the shoe officially released it was already reselling below retail. Now what does this have to do with retailers? I’m going to now raise a few questions and then we’ll look at some possible solutions to this problem.
The retailers above still have practically a full size run of the Jordan 13 Island Green. I don’t have their sales’s data ( to see how many pairs each of the above sold) to compare it against third party marketplaces’s records. But buyers will always look for the cheapest prices and by now third party platforms like eBay, StockX, Goat and Kixify are the primary destinations for most consumers when it comes to General Release Jordan Retros. Now let’s ask ourselves a few questions
Where are the shoes being sold on third party marketplaces coming from?
That’s a good question to ask because the current price the Island Green 13 is being sold for is alarming. We all know that eBay is polluted with fake sneakers. All the recorded sales are mainly coming from StockX or GOAT ( and none these entities sell replicas based on their own claims). So if the pairs being sold aren’t replicas, where are they coming from? I’m going to throw a few suggestions-the pairs might be indirectly coming from Nike ( _ _ fill in the blanks), they might be stolen or they might be coming from retailers themselves. Why did I suggest retailers? If the Jordan 13 Island Green is retailing at $200, I’m assuming that the wholesale price is $100. And if that’s the case, I believe retailers can easily sell a portion of their inventory through places like StockX and GOAT since the sellers’s identities are concealed.
2. How can retailers survive in this very competitive market?
Retailers have to be able to develop several strategies to draw the consumers to themselves. A lot of retailers’s websites are very redundant/boring in the sense that there is little motivation for consumers to visit their platform daily. The user experience in stores and online is as as dry as a bone and the only time there is any spike in traffic is when a limited shoe is released. As good as this suggestion is, I think it does only solve a very small portion of the problem at hand. Buyers are always looking for the cheapest prices available and a place like StockX has certainly allowed the buyer to impose his/her own price on the commodities hence the spike in sales. Retailers don’t have that luxury but if they were to set in place a reward program for their loyal customers that would allow them to price-match StockX’s prices ( on General Release Jordan Retros only) on the go/live based on each particular size, then they could compete with the changes in the market now. The reward program could be implemented for both the physical stores and the online shop. The only other solution ( this is a grey area) and I believe several retailers are already doing that covertly is to create a third party marketplace division. Retailers could give all their general release jordan retros a 14 days shelf life and then delegate a 1/3 of the inventory to third party marketplaces ( again this is a very rough/edgy solution).
There are a lot more things that could be done to navigate these waters but at this moment, this is all that I can think of. Stay tuned for further updates.

Howard, Philip Thomas, Cardinal of Norfolk (1629 -1694)
Philip Howard was the third son of Henry Frederick Howard, Earl of Arundel, Surrey, and Norfolk and Elizabeth Stuart, eldest daughter of Esmé, Duke of Lennox. Though his father was a conforming member of the Church of England, he brought up Philip and his brothers as members of the Church of Rome, and though they were entered at Trinity College, Cambridge, they were shortly afterwards sent to the University of Utrecht. While on the Continent, Philip declared his vocation to be a priest, and entered a monastery. Despite the appeal of his father to the Pope himself, the Church upheld this call, and he was allowed to found a College for Englishmen at the House of the Holy Cross at Bornhem in East Flanders, and was appointed the first Prior of the house in 1657. After the Restoration he was in the confidence of Charles II, was greatly involved in the negotiations and was one of the five witnesses to the private marriage of Charles II to Catherine of Braganza in 1662. He was appointed Chaplain, and Almoner to the new Queen and moved to the English court, though still making frequent visits to his convent at Bornhem. In 1672 he was made Vicar General for England, a Bishop in partibus, and Bishop elect of Heliopolis. He fell foul of the Dean and Chapter of Windsor over indulgences and had to take refuge abroad, returning to Bornhem in September 1674. In 1675 he was made a Cardinal by Clement X.

Theatres have finally been given a date for when they can reopen, after almost five months with their doors firmly locked.
In recognition of the sector’s struggles, the Government announced a £1.57bn rescue package for theatres, live music and other venues.
Many companies are struggling. Sadly, Southamptons Nuffield theatre was forced to close its doors for good, and Birmingham’s Hippodrome announced massive redundancies.
So, when will theatres be back to normal?
When will theatres reopen?
Mr Johnson announced on Friday 17 July that theatres will be allowed to reopen on 1 August, but on a trial basis with limited capacities.
Theatres were highlighted as one of the “higher-risk” businesses in the Government’s three step plan released on 11 May.
They were initially included in phase three of the plan, for which 4 July was the “earliest” these could open.
But the plan always acknowledged that “some venues which are, by design, crowded and where it may prove difficult to enact distancing may still not be able to reopen safely at this point”.
Outdoor theatres, opera, dance and music were allowed to resume from Saturday 11 July so long as they take place with a limited audience.
Singing and the playing of brass and wind instruments will be permitted in a managed and controlled professional working environment to minimise risk.
All venues will be instructed to produce risk assessments and review their cleaning regimes, however deep cleaning and social distancing systems, including floor markings are all required to be completed in a way that does not damage the historic fabric of any listed buildings.
Theatres will have to adhere to stringent rules on social distancing, something many of them have said they cannot afford to do, and many have said they will not be able to look into opening until Autumn.
At the beginning of June the Society of London Theatre (SOLT) announced that all West End theatres will remain closed until at least 2 August.
With the Government coming under significant pressure to support the arts, it was announced on 5 July that thousands of arts and heritage organisations would receive a one-off investment as part of a £1.57bn rescue package.
Mr Johnson said the money, more than half of which is made up of government grants, will safeguard the sector for future generations “ensuring arts groups and venues across the UK can stay afloat and support their staff whilst their doors remain closed and curtains remain down”.
Chief executive Craig Hassall described the current situation as “the most perilous the hall has ever faced”, and warned it could lead to hundreds of staff being made redundant.
How can they open safely?
This is the big unknown.
In May, Andrew Lloyd Webber‘s theatre company revealed that the London Palladium will be used to test if it can work.
Measures are likely to include regular deep cleaning, face masks, gaps in seats, no food or drink on offer and temperature checks.
Rebecca Kane Burton, CEO of Lloyd Webber Theatres, told The Stage: “There is an infrared camera at the stage door, your temperature is taken remotely as you walk in, and a great big dashboard flashes up [to indicate] whether you can come in the building or not. As soon as it does, the airlock releases, the door opens, and you go in. You put on a face mask, hand-sanitise, and keep a two-metre distance because we have markings around the building.”
Head of the Broadcasting, Entertainment, Communications, and Theatre Union, Philippa Childs, believes theatres need guidance on how to reopen safely.
She said: “Theatre workers need additional financial support through this crisis, as do the theatres.
“Uniform guidance for the entire sector on how it will get back to work is a crucial part of the plan.”
At the end of May the Culture Secretary announced a taskforce to look into creating guidelines for creative industries such as theatre, as well as what financial support may be needed for them to get up and running again.
Many in the industry, however, plan to look to Europe for inspiration.
The Vienna State Opera reopened earlier this month with an audience of 100.
Will theatres survive?
Experts have said that the majority of theatres, as much as 70 percent, could face permanent closure if a solution is not found, and the Royal Opera House’s chief executive said they will not last beyond Autumn without Government support.
Despite streamed performances from institutions such as the National Theatre, research in the Daily Express showed that 94 percent of people would not spend over £20 on a streamed performance, a substantial decrease on what theatre rickets usually cost.
Another problem is how much theatres rely on sales of things like food, drink or programmes to boost revenue and keep their doors open.
How can I support my local theatre?
Many of our favourite theatres across the country are facing devastating financial jeopardy, and without being able to open or further Government help, they could be lost forever.
One way to help is to donate. Many organisations are charities or trusts and will be accepting donations to help keep them afloat.
Some are already selling tickets for shows in Autumn/Winter 2020 or early next year, and each sale will go towards keeping the the theatre alive.
If you have tickets for shows that have been cancelled, and are in the position to be able to do so, some theatres are asking that individuals take the financial hit and consider the ticket price a donation, or exchange them for a voucher instead of a refund.

BCW’s Lobby Day Returns to Albany for First Time in Two Years
The Business Council of Westchester’s Annual Albany Lobby Day gathered 40 business leaders on Tuesday to make a bus trip to the state capitol for some facetime with key legislators. The trip marked the BCW’s return to Albany since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020.
The goal for the Albany Lobby Day is to give BCW members the opportunity to have an inside look at the operations of state government. This year’s visit began with a meeting with members of Westchester County’s Assembly delegation. Later in the day, the members were taken onto the floor of the Assembly Chamber during their legislative session and were introduced by the Assembly Majority Leader and offered the full privileges of the Assembly Floor.
Heather Briccetti, the President & CEO of the Business Council of New York State gave the business leaders an overview of the key business legislative issues that still need to be addressed before the end of session. The Empire Center’s James Hanley discussed the ongoing energy issues and challenges New York is facing—a theme that the BCW will continue to raise as the state pursues unrealistic renewable energy goals.
Assemblyman Harry Bronson, chair of the Assembly’s Committee on Economic Development, Job Creation, Commerce and Industry, discussed his committee’s work and Chris White, Deputy Commissioner for Workforce Development for the NYS Department of Labor, gave a report on DOL programs to assist businesses across the state.
During lunch, Susan Arbetter, the host of Spectrum News’s “Capitol Tonight” show described the important news stories she has covered during this year’s legislative session.
At the end of the day the business leaders met with Westchester County’s Senate delegation, including Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins. All the officials who met with the BCW leaders received copies of our 2022 Legislative Agenda. This document outlines the priorities that the BCW will advocate through the rest of this year. A copy of the document is posted on the BCW’s website

AIWOODS EV charging station
Back to project overview | Research for client
Every year tons of cut-out openings are generated from the CLT buildings construction. The residual elements of this valuable material are transformed into pellets and burned releasing CO2 in the atmosphere. Our innovative CLT modular structure reuses these elements minimizing waste material and preventing the release of CO2. This design illustrates how the modules can be used to create EV Charging Stations upcycling the previous waste material. In a world that is making a huge effort to cut out drastically CO2 emissions, Electric Vehicles will became year by year more common. However, there are still regions where the charging stations network is still not available. In Finland the current EV charging stations are concentrated mainly to the South. The modular construction consists of small easily transportable elements that can be used even in remote regions allowing for a more comprehensive network to be built.
The main unit of the modular EV charging station structure consists of three columns and a canopy. The three columns form a rigid and efficient structure optimizing material usage. The unit provides shelter for one car and a possibility to charge up to three cars. Even full size trucks can be charged in the 3m x 4,5m opening. All the elements are easily transportable with 2m x 0,8m as the maximum dimensions. The maximum weight of single unit is 80kg. These small units are a cost efficient way to build EV charging stations even in remote areas.

Ever since Eve ate that apple and immediately discovered the naked truth about her man (“Oh, Adam, for God’s sake, put on some pants!”), women have been wagging their fingers and shaking their heads disgustedly at men. Now, from comedian John Heffron, comes a CD for anyone who has ever wondered, What makes women ticked?
On Good Kid, Bad Adult, Heffron holds up a funhouse mirror to males and reflects on the reputedly crass and infuriating gender – often hilariously.
He unlocks the door and invites the audience to join him, the strippers, the slobs and the layabouts inhabiting the male clubhouse. Even those men who don’t consider themselves jerks-in-progress can learn from this amusing — and, yes, instructional – CD.
Professor Heffron, a champion of the reality-TV series Last Comic Standing, which returns this summer to NBC, teaches men that if you innocently go to a strip club (even if it’s just to ask the popular dancer for change of $20 because the bank is closed), avoid the “stripper dust.” He also warns his frat brothers about the hazards of the “We Gotta Go Girls,” the humorless security detail that protects the one “hot girl” in the herd with the vigilance of the Secret Service guarding the President.
In this raucous Men 101 class, listeners learn why a divorced woman is like “getting preapproved for credit”; why every man needs a “life caddie” and why, at the most inopportune time, man’s best friend can suddenly become your worst enemy. And although The Container Store will never stock them, Heffron explains — quite logically, ladies — why stairs make a great shelf.
Finally, Heffron debunks the greatest myth about men: It turns out males are sensitive critters – to other members of the tribe hunting for a, uh, good lady. Or something like that.

NVIDIA shows its technology Fur / Hair accelerated by GPU
A few months ago AMD introduced its technology TressFX , released in the game Tomb Raider , apply effects and enables GPU-accelerated physics to each of the hairs of Lara Croft. Today Nvidia shows similar technology.
During the event E3 Expo, Nvidia made a brief demonstration of its new technology (no official name yet but this is probably physx Fur and / or PhysX Hair) focused to render hair / fur (Fur) and hair (Hair) of the characters games, leveraging the power of calculating its geforce family.
The first game to make use of this new technology will be The Witcher 3 and thanks to her characters and animals shown in the game will be more realistic than the previous versions of it.
Nvidia says that the use of this technology will not have much impact on graphics performance, although it applies to multiple characters and animals simultaneously.
Here’s a video showing the new technology Fur / Hair Nvidia:
