Communication continues to be a problem for John Calipari’s team even after a week of no classes and plenty of basketball.
“I’ve had other teams that weren’t good, but they got better. This team, they got to understand they need each other. It’s a form of selfishness when you don’t talk. You’re worried about you. You’re worried about how you feel and you’re not understanding the impact that that has on your teammates,” Calipari said Friday. “If you’re really into what they are doing and you’re there with your whole thought about helping your team, you talk a lot. If you’re not into that thought, you’re only (thinking about) how you feel or what you look like, you don’t talk.
“So a lot of times, a player will think, ‘Well, I pass the ball. I’m not selfish.’ Yeah, but you don’t speak. You’re not doing anything to help your teammates. You’re only worried about how you’re playing. So that’s what we’ve been addressing, and they’ve gotten better.”
Calipari said if players don’t talk in practice, everyone runs. No exceptions.
“Now if he’s in the game doing this, I’ll take him out, but it’s not solving the issue here. Say something to him. I’m trying to do some things to empower them a little bit – if they defend and rebound and steal or block, what goes on offensively. Because at some point, this has got to be their team. So we’re trying to do some of that,” Calipari said.
“The biggest thing is just compete and battle. We’re all going to see it. There’s no question, everybody’s watching. Is the guy really battling and diving and competing or is his head down and does he act sad and tired? It’s not just one guy now. Hopefully, we’re breaking through. I’ve been pleased with what we’ve been doing though. We’ve been going early in the morning and ending at dinner time every day, so it’s like they’re putting in a full day.”
Calipari hopes the time the team spent together this week shows on the court.
“It’s all intertwined together. They’re together. They’re pushing each other. They’re eating their meals together. They’re eating all the meals. So they’re doing better,” the coach said.

Trash pack mask how to make putrid sardine
Trash Pack toys are meant to be for boys. But my little girl loves them. They were at the top of her Christmas and Birthday list. She now has the Trash Pack van and quite a few Trash Packs. They are still new in the UK so quite hard to get hold of (Toys R us stock them.) Here is the video make a Trash Pack mask:

Dr's Casebook: Try to sit less to reduce heart disease risk
Dr Keith Souter writes: Computers have become such a part of life that it is hard to imagine not using one.
We take our mobile phones for granted, with the ability to contact people in any part of the world almost instantly.
With intelligent assistants like Alexa or Siri you can set timers, book reminders, switch things on in different parts of your home by just talking to the computer or phone.
These apps and gadgets have taken things to levels that science fiction writers were speculating about just a couple of decades ago, yet not seriously imagining would take place so quickly.
Yet now the prospect of driverless cars is not that far away and artificial intelligence or AI is already with us.
Now all of these things make things easier for us and they increase the amount of time we have for leisure.
However, the less activity that people indulge in, the greater is the risk of developing the diseases of modern society.
In particular, the less active one is, the greater the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Across the whole world this is the number one cause of death.
In 2021, it was responsible for one in three deaths.
Since 1997, the number of people living with cardiovascular disease across the world has doubled and it is feared that it will just continue to rise.
My rant at the start of this article does not mean that I think we should ditch these obvious benefits of technology.
I think we should all just aim at reducing the risk by adopting healthy life habits.
Number one is to avoid smoking and number two is to be a bit more active.
I was struck by a research paper published in the European Heart Journal.
It is from the international Prospective Physical Activity, Sitting and Sleep (ProPASS) consortium.
Researchers at University College in London have assessed six different movement patterns throughout the whole day.
They concluded that sitting is the worst thing you can do for prolonged periods.
They concluded that replacing a 30 minute sedentary period with moderate activity every day significantly reduces cardiovascular risk, but also reduces one’s cholesterol level and waistline.
Half an hour a day that’s all it takes.

A La Casa of Mason Creek Wedding Celebration
Tucked away off the back roads of Homosassa, Florida sits the beautiful La Casa of Mason Creek. This beautiful Mediterranean styled mansion sits on 22 acres of private estate overlooking Mason Creek and the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge. Families that want to celebrate together beyond just the wedding day love this venue for the extended stay option.
One of my personal favorite parts about weddings at this venue is waiting at the top of the stairs with the bride before making her grand entrance down the pillared staircase. Robert and Jaime said their vows on the back lawn under a beautiful driftwood arch overlooking the marsh. After the ceremony we whisked them away for a few romantics on the boat dock before they were introduced to their reception as the new Mr + Mrs!!

HENDERSON (FOX5) — The City of Henderson Parks and Recreation Department said it is offering childcare services for first responders.
Childcare services started on March 16, after Gov. Steve Sisolak activated several directives to combat the spread of COVID-19.
At first, the program was open to city employees and first responders, but now any first responder that lives in the city of Henderson is eligible.
Henderson parks and recreation staff are operating two 24-hour childcare centers but beginning March 30 the department will only utilize one center. Part-time and full-time, along with Henderson police are working to staff the childcare centers and keep kids safe.
According to a media release, the city is taking precautions with people entering the centers and screening via taking temperatures and various questions. Social distancing is being practiced with all activities.
Kids have the option to play by themselves or with one staff member. Staff are encouraging small groups and handwashing. Toys and games are also being sanitized after every use.
Any first responders who live in Henderson and are interested in the free childcare can email the City of Henderson or call (702) 267-5800 and select option one. The city will need to verify your first responder status, so identification will be required.
The childcare program is available to children 12 weeks to 14 years old, and kids will be provided three meals per day, including snacks.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) announced Tuesday evening that the special election to replace expelled Rep. George Santos (R) will take place on February 13.
The election will be in New York’s District 3, which covers parts of Long Island and the New York City borough of Queens.
“As Governor, I have the solemn responsibility to call a special election to ensure the voters of Long Island and Queens once again have representation in Congres,” Hochul said in a proclamation. “Members of Congress provide critical constituent services, serve as a link to federal agencies, and advocate on behalf of the constituents who sent them to Washington. I look forward working with the next representative for the 3rd Congressional District on the issues facing New Yorkers.”
There will be no primary ahead of the February 13 election. Local Democratic and Republican leaders will each pick a candidate to compete for the vacated House seat.
Candidates have not yet been officially announced, though former state Senator Jack Martins (R) and former Rep. Tom Suozzi (D)—who held the U.S. House seat before losing to Santos in 2022—are among the names reportedly being considered.
Lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives voted on Friday to expel Santos following the release of a scathing House Ethics Committee report.
The 56-page report detailed a “complex web of unlawful activity involving Representative Santos’ campaign, personal, and business finances. Representative Santos sought to fraudulently exploit every aspect of his House candidacy for his own personal financial profit.”
“He blatantly stole from his campaign. He deceived donors into providing what they thought were contributions to his campaign but were in fact payments for his personal benefit,” the report said.
Santos was the sixth U.S. Representative to be expelled by his colleagues out of more than 11,000 who have served throughout the history of the United States. He was the first to be expelled who’d neither been deemed disloyal to the U.S. before or during the Civil War, nor had been convicted of a crime.
However, Santos is facing a September 9, 2024 trial date for 23 separate felony counts, including wire fraud, identity theft, credit card theft, money laundering and falsely reporting to the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) that he had loaned his campaign $500,000; in fact, he hadn’t given anything while maintaining less than $8,000 in the bank.
Santos has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

|Sitting outside at the cafe, comfortably staying out while the sun drips under the horizon, making sand castles at the beach – these are just a few signs that Spring has finally settled in here in Maryland. We have lots of plans this year for camping, riding, and exploring, so we’re thrilled to be on the other side of Winter.|
More recently, we got a whole whack of samples including the final prototypes of the Neutrino frameset, some 31.6 seatposts for said Neutrino, and even a very cool fender finish we may do in the future. More details on that very soon, but here’s a sneak preview of Clint’s recent build. The Cool Grey Metallic paint is understated yet elegant and lends itself well to silver or black color schemes.
In the sun, the color pops with oodles of rainbow metallic flake. We’re still playing around with size and color of downtube decals, but that will be finalized soon. We’re also working on having the pre-order open in two weeks for both a frameset and complete option. The in-house built complete will be a 1×10 system with lots of VO components and more than likely Shimano Zee dangler and shifter. What do you think?

In art consulting, one of the most common materials we work with is plexiglass, a common type of acrylic. This transparent thermoplastic has many applications and uses, and requires specific care. When maintained correctly, plexiglass can be a long-lasting material that protects artwork from the elements.
Acrylic in Framing
When framing works on paper, plexiglass is used to protect the surface of the art. Sometimes referred to as "glazing", this plexi is available in many varieties and can be selected based on which characteristics will best fit the artwork’s needs. A common archival consideration with framing artwork is using glazing that blocks UV rays. UV rays from the sun (or even from older lighting fixtures) can damage and fade pigments in artwork, which can lower the aesthetic and financial value of a piece.
If a work on paper has an especially intricate surface texture, another option is to select a non-glare plexi. This is available with UV protection as well, and has a matte finish that makes it easier to see the details clearly.
Three-dimensional artwork can benefit from acrylic’s archival protection as well. Sculptures that stand on pedestals can have custom plexi boxes, also known as vitrines, built to protect them from the elements while still allowing the work to be viewed clearly from 360 degrees. Other artifacts or wall-mounted sculpture can be encased in plexi shadow boxes that mount inside of frames, which protect works displayed on a wall.
An important part of any artwork collection is signage that adds context to the art. We fabricate labels out of vellum, custom paper, or mylar to indicate information about artists and their work. We use thin, custom-cut acrylic is protect these labels because it is easy to read, clean, and reuse. The labels can have holes drilled to accommodate installation hardware, or fit inside aluminum sleeves depending on a collector’s design preference.
Advantages of Acrylic
We use plexiglass when designing custom frames and displays for artwork because it provides customizable archival protection. Acrylic doesn’t interact with chemicals on the surface of artwork, and when correctly implemented the artwork won’t leave a stain on it. Acrylic glazing is durable and doesn’t come with the risk of shattering like glass. To ensure long-term protection, we take certain precautions including never using products designed for glass, like Windex. We use cleaning materials designed for plexi, sprayed onto archival paper to apply it keeps the acrylic clear and minimizes scratches. Although plexiglass is easier to scratch than glass, these can be buffed out by using specific care products.
Acrylic has broad applications in protecting artwork, artifacts, and historical documents. It’s one of the easiest archival materials to maintain when cleaned and treated correctly, and is a minimal investment that can showcase items in a collection while shielding artwork from being directly touched, dust, and UV rays.

Lowther Castle was a real high point of our trip to the Lake District. The castle itself is derelict but still beautiful with lots of nooks and crannies for the children to explore.
[singlepic id=1472 w= h= float=center]
You can take some really gorgeous photos of the children here! (And even ones with them poking their head down a hole!)
[singlepic id=1471 w= h= float=center]
From there we began to explore the grounds which are huge and stuffed with all manner of quirky corners and follies to find.
Lowther Castle – Video Review
The Lost Castle in the Lake District
The most important thing there though, if you have children is the ‘Lost Castle’. It is amazing! It’s an absolutely huge wooden castle with all manner of climbing places, swings, slides and ziplines.
[singlepic id=1479 w= h= float=center]
The children had an absolute ball. I am very envious as this would have been my idea of heaven as a child.
[singlepic id=1482 w= h= float=center]
There is a fairytale ethereal air to it too with it’s quirky looking gift shop. I have told Mr Wonders I need one of these in our garden – with a turret just like this one!
[singlepic id=1480 w= h= float=center]
[singlepic id=1481 w= h= float=center]
There is a café nearby for supplies of tea and coffee, soup and sandwiches.
You could really spend all day just in the Lost Castle, but there are so many other fabulous parts to discover too. We wandered up the right side of the grounds and came across Northern Archery teaching archery to the children. (They are not there every day so if you fancy giving it a go – ring ahead and check!) At just £3 for ten arrows, my two thought this was brilliant!
[singlepic id=1473 w= h= float=center]
[singlepic id=1474 w= h= float=center]
From here we saw the Countess Summerhouse before wandering across to the squirrel hide (magnificent view, but you’ll need to watch little ones or avoid altogether as there is a bit of a drop there).
[singlepic id=1476 w= h= float=center]
We then wandered up and bought lunch in the ‘Into the woods’ area – there are lots of nice picnic benches that look straight from the an Enid Blyton novel about the Faraway Tree. Then we came to the marvellous ‘Lost Castle’.
[singlepic id=1477 w= h= float=center]
Jack Croft’s Pond
On the way back we traversed Jack Croft’s Pond – top tip – walk around the left hand side of it and not the right. Repeat – not the right. Just trust me. After the pond there is a brilliant woodland obstacle course at that point which the kids will love.
[singlepic id=1483 w= h= float=center]
Tree Swings at Lowther Castle
Finally, finish with a good old fashioned tree swing – and these are top swings!
[singlepic id=1484 w= h= float=center]
In summary, we had a fabulous day. Lowther Castle is a hidden gem and our number one thing to do in the Lake District with kids.

Ohio City Backs Down After Catholic School Files Lawsuit Over Religious Rights
The city of South Euclid, Ohio has backed down after a Catholic school filed a lawsuit challenging the city's anti-discrimination law on the grounds that it infringed on its religious freedom.
The city announced earlier this week it would not apply the law to the Catholic school after refusing for months to say whether the statute would require the school to operate against its religious beliefs, according to an Alliance Defending Freedom news release.
The Lyceum sued the city in April, arguing the law would violate its religious rights by raising the prospect of penalties for its beliefs about marriage and gender identity. The school suggested its admissions and employment policies could place it at risk under the ordinance.
The school upholds the Catholic beliefs that marriage is between a man and woman, sex should be reserved for marriage, and a person's gender is determined at birth. Students and faculty are expected to abide by these beliefs, and students who disagree with the teachings can be denied admission or expelled.

Russian Lawmaker Says Gays Are 'Sick,' Must Be 'Cured'
A Russian lawmaker who heads a parliamentary committee on family and children affairs has called gays "sick" people who "must be cured."
In a televised interview aired on March 5, Tamara Pletnyova also said that the 19th-century prominent Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky also was gay, "but he always hid it and was ashamed of it."

‘It Is Not a Closet. It Is a Cage.’ Gay Catholic Priests Speak Out
Gregory Greiten was 17 years old when the priests organized the game. It was 1982 and he was on a retreat with his classmates from St. Lawrence, a Roman Catholic seminary for teenage boys training to become priests. Leaders asked each boy to rank which he would rather be: burned over 90 percent of his body, paraplegic, or gay.
Each chose to be scorched or paralyzed. Not one uttered the word “gay.” They called the game the Game of Life.
The lesson stuck. Seven years later, he climbed up into his seminary dorm window and dangled one leg over the edge. “I really am gay,” Father Greiten, now a priest near Milwaukee, remembered telling himself for the first time. “It was like a death sentence.”
The closet of the Roman Catholic Church hinges on an impossible contradiction. For years, church leaders have driven gay congregants away in shame and insisted that “homosexual tendencies” are “disordered.” And yet, thousands of the church’s priests are gay.

Asia Gaines filed the suit against the Chicago Board of Education; her son's homeroom teacher, Kristen Haynes; and Haynes' childhood friend, Juanita Tyler.

Black voters won’t take the Blexit ramp to vote for Trump
In an effort to radically change the dynamic, conservative television pundit Candace Owens is urging black Americans to join her in a new political campaign to break bonds with a half-century of fealty to Democrats. Her movement is called “Blexit.” You see what she did there: black and exit.
Trump is no friend to black voters or their interests. Long before he mounted a race-baiting presidential campaign, Trump had established his bonafides as someone who was, in the words of The New York Times’ David Leonhardt and Ian Prasad Philbrick, “obsessed with race for the entire time he has been a public figure.”
Insufferable gay Trump supporter hurls racial slurs at Lyft driver, refuses to leave vehicle
Shawn Pepas Lettman is a Lyft driver and father of two from Brooklyn. Last weekend, he found himself the target of a racist attack by gay Trump supporter who refused to get out of his car.
It all started when a passenger leaving a gay club requested Lettman change the music in his car. Lettman declined the request and the passenger became irate, prompting Lettman to pull over.
In the video, the passenger can be seen screaming into his phone at Lyft customer service, hurling racial slurs at Lettman, making offensive threats, and refusing to get out of the car until he is refunded his $8.01 for the ride and police arrive so he can file a report.

White New York City Teacher Who Stepped On Black Students' Backs During Slavery Lessons Wants To Sue Over Reverse Racism
In peak Caucasity, a white Bronx social studies teacher who is facing being fired after stepping on Black students’ backs during a lesson on slavery, is now claiming that she is the real victim of racism (literally, reverse racism) and intends to file a lawsuit, which her lawyer says could be worth up to $1 billion.
According to the New York Daily News, the issue started back in February at Middle School 118, when Patricia Cummings picked out black students, told them to lie on the floor and stepped on their backs to show them what it felt like during a lesson on U.S. slavery, per the reports of multiple students and one staffer.
Now, Cummings has filed a notice of claim, filed in anticipation of a lawsuit, claiming that she is the real victim here of reverse discrimination, defamation, negligence and a litany of other claims.

UK schoolgirls have been pressured by peers to have FGM, campaigner says
Some schoolgirls in the United Kingdom have been pressured by their peers into undergoing female genital mutilation (FGM), according to FGM survivor and campaigner Leyla Hussein, Britain's Press Association reported.
Hussein, who founded the Dahlia Project in 2013 to help other survivors, said that she has spoken with many young women who say they feel vulnerable to becoming a victim to a crime that is still seen by many as a cultural practice or tradition, rather than a violent sexual offense, PA said.
"Some of my clients are 19-year-old girls now who were children or were born in this (country) and they will say to you they were pressured in a playground in a school in London to go and have it done," she said.

Frontier Airlines Suspends Pilot Accused of Threatening Trans Girl
Since a group of parents declared it was “hunting season” on transgender people in response to news that a 12-year-old trans girl used the women’s bathroom at her school in Achille, Okla., the school shuttered its doors over the violent threats and her supporters held a silent demonstration. Now Frontier Airlines has suspended a pilot who allegedly threatened the young girl known only as Maddie, according to Oklahoma TV station KOCO.
The pilot was accused, along with several other adults, of threatening to do harm to Maddie simply for using the women’s restroom once when she couldn’t access the faculty bathroom, as she was told to do.
While the airline would not name the pilot involved with the incident, it released a statement confirming the pilot was suspended August 13 and condemning his actions.

Maybe Google bought Motorola because Google is desperate.
- Google is being sued by Oracle over Google’s use of Java in Android. And it seems Oracle will win.
- Microsoft makes $5 for every HTC android phone. (Every one!). Microsoft is negotiating to get $15 for every Samsung android phone sold.
- Apple has blocked the sale of several Android tablets in a number of countries.
- Google bid a lot of money on the Nortel patents.
- Google buys Motorola for a ton of money… after losing the Nortel patents
Could Google be desperate that all their (admitted) copying has caught up to them? Is it possible that the Motorola buy was not planned or part of a strategy to move into hardware manufacturing, but that it was a sweaty-desperate move to keep Android alive?

While the digital economy of the Southeast Asian region was already developing at a very fast rate prior to the arrival of the COVID-19 crisis, it was this crisis that would act as a catalyst for even more rapid development of the region’s digital economy.
The COVID-19 crisis not only made existing digital users start spending more time online (consuming more digital services), but this crisis also encouraged many new users to come online (either for consumption or to make sales, or both).
So while on the one hand the COVID-19 crisis caused an unprecedented (temporary) collapse in consumption, production, trade and investment, this crisis also facilitated a significant acceleration in the transition from offline to online consumption, from physical stores to online stores, and (although possibly a bit less marked) from face-to-face communication to digital communication (for example it has become normal to use Zoom when working-from-home).
Many of the changes we saw in terms of digital behavior over the past 20 months or so are expected to be structural changes. For example, once an entrepreneur started selling products online, he/she is bound to continue selling these products online (possibly in addition to the physical store). In this context it is interesting to mention that many Southeast Asian entrepreneurs believe that their shift to digital sales is what allowed their businesses to survive in the COVID-19 crisis. Therefore, it is quite clear that adding digital services really strengthens the business model.
Moreover, in 2021, around 40 million new Internet users came online in Southeast Asia (pushing the total to 440 million Internet users in this region). Many of the new Internet users are bound to become structural digital consumers. Typically after one positive experience (experiencing the efficiency, easiness, and safety of one online purchase), more online shopping follows.
It is also interesting to try imagining a COVID-19 crisis erupting in a world and time without Internet. On the one hand, it would have been a much severe economic crisis as economic activity would have been undermined even harder. But, on the other hand. without the Internet many people would probably not have been aware of the existence of the COVID-19 virus in society, and so life could simply have continued as usual without panic (for example, in our case, the two confirmed COVID-19 deaths in our extended environments were people with serious underlying illnesses, while those who tested positive for COVID-19 in our environment did not feel sick, or, only had mild flu-like symptoms; and therefore –essentially– the only reason why we are aware of the COVID-19 virus is because of governments’ and societies’ responses to the pandemic as well as media’s coverage of the pandemic; but not because of the actual pandemic, or virus, itself).
Nevertheless, since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic e-commerce has grown exponentially, and became the major driving force behind the digital transformation. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is, in fact, on its path to become a USD $1 trillion Internet economy by 2030, particularly propelled by a fast-growing base of digital consumers and merchants as well as a very impressive acceleration in e-commerce and food delivery.

Philadelphia, PA – November 6, 2017 – SharedXpertise, publisher of HRO Today, has announced the release of their annual Cost of a Bad Reputation Report for 2017 in conjunction with Cielo, the world’s leading strategic Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) partner.
Within this report, companies are presented with findings related to the impacts of an organization’s reputation on talent acquisition. Respondent demographics are used to reveal important trends among diverse groups as they relate to their willingness to work for a company with a bad reputation.
In addition, exclusive data is provided on the impact of an organization’s reputation on candidates accepting job offers, how quickly employees will look for a new job in light of a scandal, and which behaviors create the most harm to culture and to overarching recruiting efforts.
“Less than three-quarters of those under 35 years of age would be willing to accept a job offer from a company with a bad reputation, but 91-percent would take a job from an organization with a good reputation,” said Larry Basinait, vice president of market research at SharedXpertise. “Further, as candidate age increases, proportionately fewer would be willing to work for a company with a bad reputation. So, age does play a factor in our findings, and overall, candidates of all ages are considering an organization’s reputation before accepting job offers.”
“In our experience, and as bolstered by SharedXpertise’s research, company reputation is a key factor in recruiting and retaining the best talent,” said Sue Marks, founder and CEO of Cielo. “Workers across all age groups are less likely to leave organizations with good reputations, but if they do, it is to join an organization of equal or better reputation.”

I've heard that the handle bars on the "b" model are adjustable. I have looked in the owners manual and can't find anything on this topic. I am looking to lower mine about an inch. I am also pretty sure that the HD drag bars will not fit my model. Can somebody tell me how to adjust my bars, and if they will not lower what are some aftermarket drag bars that will fit my bike. Thanks for all your help.

Tropical Island Vacation
Just came back from a 4 day vacation on a tropical island. Water was warm. Sun was strong. Very relaxing. Snorkeled and saw a variety of fish, unfortunately I did not see the sea turtle like some others. Half-boogie boarded. Stayed at beautiful house. Merriman's for lunch only $10-20 open M-F from 11:30 to 1:30. Pretty good. Terrible dinner food at Huggos on the Rocks. Over priced restaurant, location great - right on the shore. I ate mostly cooked food I purchased from Costco on first day of my arrival.

There’s probably only a handful of labels that I’m ride or die for of late, but certainly have to admit that Paisley Shirt Records is one of them…especially with this new Tony Jay on the horizon. My joy comes here in listening to the recordings, like bedroom pop for the outsiders; the pop made at home for no one else, with the occasional friend throwing in a note here and there. In listening through a few times on repeat, there’s this really subtle little movement around the 1:30 mark where a faint little guitar line sort of flutters around like a moth looking for light. I’m just totally mesmerized, and can’t wait to hear the whole LP; Hey There Flower drops on May 14th.
It’s been a hot minute since we’ve done a proper run with Rock n’ Recipes, so wanted to return this year with a banger; we were fortunate enough to catch up with Mike and Karina of Flowertown. They recently announced that they’ll be putting two of their recent EPs for Paisley Shirt Records onto one great LP for Mt. St. Mtn. If you’re not familiar with the duo, you might have heard lots of buzz about their other projects like Cindy or Tony Jay, but jump below to catch up on the current work! Pre-Order the LP HERE.
I’ve probably told everyone I know about the new Tony Molina record and how much I love it. Now there’s another Tony from California begging for my attention; this time it’s Tony Jay. The San Fran outfit have a slew of recordings beneath their belt, and they’ve readied a new one for us today. It’s a casual bit of bedroom pop that seems timeless; I’m particularly fond of the moments at 1:11 and 2:02 where the rest of the band aid in the chorus. Not only do I hear Tony M, but it sort of reminds me the later Hunx stuff too…clean and simple, but everlasting in your memory. Tony Jay has a brand new lathe cut 7″ available for you right HERE.

Hey guys! Here’s the second and final part of Milan Fashion Week SS15. You can catch up with Part One here.
I tend to like Versace’s sensual dresses, they always know how to show off a body. It was a stunning change to find more contemporary silhouettes and perforated cut out patterns.
I loved how lux the grey-taupe gowns looked at the Giorgio Armani show. It’s a difficult colour which looks graceful but dull. The jackets and blazers were another feature.
Pleated prints were the highlight of Roberto Cavalli’s show and they were incredibly gorgeous and colourful! I’m sold! Etro was another show where the prints were equally beautiful.
Dolce & Gabbana had a stunning show. It’s so impactful visually but the clothes are also very impressive. I that authentic Spanish vibe and the modern silhouettes with the embellishments, matador jackets and baroque.
Against the usual Milan heavyweights, the minimalism and simplicity of Jil Sander and Bally stand out. But I was left most impressed by the Salvatore Ferragamo show where the opening cap itself is so beautiful. Much of the collection that follows leaves with a lasting impression. I love the brights, dress that are sheer and pleated, the separates and the textured skirts.

From Monday, all cinema halls will be permitted to operate at full capacity with fresh guidelines from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B), including staggered show timings for multiple screens, physical distancing and setting air conditioning at 24-30 degree Celsius.
These guidelines come days after the Ministry of Home Affairs allowed operation of cinema halls with full capacity while mandating the I&B Ministry to issue a Standard Operating Procedure. Till now, only 50 per cent capacity was allowed.
However, films cannot be shown in containment zones.
"There is good news. In February, people can watch and enjoy films in theatres as we are allowing full occupancy in all cinema halls. We encourage as much online booking (of tickets) as possible," Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar said.
The SOP has taken extra care to ensure that there is no crowding in cinema halls or its premises. The show commencement time, intermission period and finish time of a show at any screen shall not overlap with the times of another screen in the multiplex.
Digital "no-contact" transactions should be the "most preferred mode" for booking and verification of tickets as well as payment for food and beverages. People are encouraged to use online bookings, e-wallets and QR code scanners among others.
The purchase of tickets at the box office has to be open throughout the day and advance booking will be allowed to avoid crowding at the sale counters. A sufficient number of counters at the box office should be opened to prevent crowding during physical booking with floor managers ensuring distancing.
The SOP also wants cinema halls to ensure row-wise staggered entry and exit of the audience and there should be sufficient time interval between successive screenings.
Proper crowd management should be done in parking lots and outside the premises while the number of people in the elevators should be restricted. Efforts also should be made to avoid overcrowding in the common areas, lobbies and washrooms during intermission.
"Audiences may be encouraged to avoid movement during the intermission. Longer intermissions may be used to allow the audience seated in different rows of the auditorium to move in a staggered manner," the SOP said.
On air-conditioning and ventilation, the SOP said ACs must be set to 24-30 degree Celsius while relative humidity should be between 40 and 70 per cent. Re-circulation of air should be avoided and cross ventilation should be ensured. There should be frequent sanitisation of the entire premises, especially points that come into human contact, like handles and railings. The cinema halls should be sanitised after every screening.
Similarly, regular cleaning and disinfection of the box office, food and beverage areas, employee and staff lockers, toilets, public areas, and back-office areas should be ensured. Sanitisation staff should be given gloves, boots, masks and PPE.
"Disinfection of the premises to be taken up if any person is found positive," the SOP added.
Welcoming the SOPs, the Producers Guild of India and Multiplex Association of India (MAI) tweeted, "We welcome the decision of Ministry to allow 100% capacity in cinemas from February 1 and extend our sincere gratitude to Prakash Javdekar-ji and everyone involved in facilitating this important step in our industry's recovery." It also thanked BJP MP and actor Sunny Deol for his support in taking up the issue with the Ministry.

MJK: The Man, The Myth, The Legend
Maynard James Keenan
Over the years, the band Tool has been my favorite band. Their unique progressive metal style music is full of complex sounds and crescendos and boisterous vocals that put this band above the rest for me. And their front man, MJK, has for decades been a musical genius. But as the years went by, and Maynard grew famous, he exposed the world to many other talents he had waiting to be explored. So I invite you today to get to know one of the most iconic names in music and take a journey to get to know this person a whole lot more.
A Breif History of MJK
Born in April 17, 1964 James Herbert Keenan graced the world with his presence. Originally from Ohio, Keenan moved around a lot and dove into many different ventures in beginning years of his life. He spent some years in Michigan after leaving his mom's place in Ohio due to several illnesses and a household that wasn't exactly the type Keenan felt comfortable in.
In High school, Keenan began to enjoy some physical activity when he joined the wrestling team. His dad was the coach and really inspired Keenan to join the team. After high school, Keenan decided he wanted to join the United States Army in hopes of being able to get a funded art school education. What inspired Keenan to join the Army was a comedic film known as Stripes which starred Bill Murray. Keenan began to show his intelligence when it came to planning out strategic battle plans while in the military. He also created the character "Maynard" which he would later on in life be known as. He would later attend West Point Prep School which opened up a few more areas for him to extract more of his talents.
He joined the wrestling team, glee club, cross country team and studied advanced English and Math courses. Instead of going further into the West Point educational program, Maynard decided to attend Kendall Art and Design which was located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He began to excel in interior design and marketing strategies. With his love of pets, he decided to pack up and head out to Los Angeles in hopes to establish a very successful career in Interior Design located in pet stores. This move proved to be exactly what Maynard needed to start his highly successful music career and pave the way for many more successful endeavors.
The Beginning of Tool
After moving to Los Angeles, Maynard began to grow in his love for music. After landing a pretty decent career opportunity, Maynard decided that he wanted to create music. With a few potential music projects, Maynard was finally able to put the highly successful and Grammy winning band Tool together. Going into the Tool project, Maynard has specific ideas of what he wanted to express musically. He wanted the band to be unique and stand out above the rest, but to have a mysterious vibe to go along with the music.
After meeting drummer Danny Carrey and guitarist Adam Jones, Tool began to form. Bassist Paul D'Amour was finally the remaining missing piece to brought the four musicians together. D'Amour would later be replaced by bassist Justin Chancellor.
When the band finally got their break and were signed, Maynard wanted Tool to have most of the control and not have some record company sign them and completely change the direction and style the band had wanted to release. After attending several fancy dinners and partook in drinking many labels expensive booze, Tool decided to sign with Zoo record label where they were promised full control of the music.
Tool went on to record on EP Opiate, and four LP albums, Undertow, Aenima, Lateralus and 10,000 Days. Tool would go on to win two Grammy's for Aenima and Lateralus. Tool definitely revolutionized an unique and untouchable style of music that was like no other. They were not your typical mainstream rock band. They dared to be different. They dared to stand out.
The Next Two Music Projects
After many successful years of Tool, Maynard decided to explore more musically unique projects. He decided to become the lead singer for the band A Perfect Circle. Maynard felt by joining this project he could begin to venture out into a more melodic tone of vocals that are not normally found on a Tool album. He was able to also expand lyrically with A Perfect Circle. Maynard also had a comedic side to him. This lead way to his solo project Puscifer. Here he was able to not only create music that was different from his previous two bands, but also create characters to go along with some of the music from Puscifer. When it came to being creative, Maynard lacked no skills in doing so.
Have you heard of any of these bands?
Over the years with the success of many musically popular bands, Maynard was able to tour the world. One of his pleasures in life was wine. Before Tool even formed, he was already satisfying his pallet with different flavors and styles of wine. Now that he has become a highly successful individual, Maynard decided he wanted to not only drink wine, but produce it.
After a few trips to Italy, Maynard discovered that wine making was in his genes. It's no wonder he had a specific pallet for wine. He found out that his grandparents and great-uncle were also wine makers in Italy. This pleased Maynard and inspired him to want to start the process of making delicious wines.
He decided Los Angeles was not the place to begin this wine making journey. He decided to move to Arizona. He would buy some land and try to do what many others said would be hard to do, grow grape vines. Sure there was some failure at first, but later on Maynard began to see success in all of his grunt work and hard efforts. Maynard is not one to let someone else do the work. He manned those vineyards with little help in the scorching desert heat. Maynard always believed in doing the work yourself. Here is a quote about his wine making and inspiration to begin this journey (the source is from Wikipedia):
I am standing on a metaphorical plateau. The view from here suggests that I/we still have many mountains to negotiate. It has already been a long journey. But the successes and failures have been in balance. Which would suggest that I/we have chosen the correct path. I hold in my hands the evidence to support this statement . . . With tears in my eyes, I present to you the very first 100 percent Arizona Caduceus wine. Nagual del Judith, named after my late mother, Judith Marie.
After many attempts, Maynard became a true and successful wine maker. He now owns Merkin Vineyards and Caduceus Cellars. Maynard has also paired many great dishes to go along with his wines at many local business in the surrounding area. Wine making has become one of his favorite passions and he still puts in the hard work without any signs of changing his role.
And Now An Author
If being musically successful and becoming a talented wine maker, Maynard decides to add one more attribute to his resume, an author. His book, A Perfect Union on Contrary Things, is a highly successful autobiography that I think many fans of Maynard were ready to get their hands on. Now with the release of his book, fans across the world are now able to get to know who exactly is this man who wore many disguises during his performances.
The book starts of with the history of the early days of life for Maynard. He tells the true life stories of what it was like to grow up. His premature adventures that molded him into becoming an efficacious individual. From there on you are taken along for a journey throughout Maynard's life and career.
This book is well worth a read. Even if you have no idea or are not a fan of the bands listed above. This book is beautifully written and full of interesting facts about an extremely talented person who inspires you to create something positive and do the work yourself. I enjoyed this book very much and got to learn a whole lot more about one of my favorite musicians.
I have had the pleasure of seeing Tool live twice. Both times I saw them I was blow away from their performance. I didn't really get into Tool until the late 90's. I went to the first concert in 2001, and went out the next day and bought all of their albums they had released so far. Ever since then, Tool has remained one of my favorite bands. After reading the book Maynard released, it pushed Tool to my favorite band. I got more in-depth meaning behind many of the Tool lyrics and the inspiration behind them. I got to know Maynard as if he was my own best friend. I was unaware of the talent this man possessed and his ongoing message of creating something positive and doing the work yourself. Maynard is definitely one of a kind person. I cannot wait to see what will happen next in his career. I also cannot wait for the release of a new Tool and A Perfect Circle albums which are hopefully in the near future.

What makes a almost perfect day ? Start with a 25 mile bike ride along the DuPage River with your favorite oldest daughter ( favorite youngest is off to France and Kenya ) return for a shower and a spot of a nap then head over to a little Mexican place for an avocado margarita.
A friend has recommended Bien Trucha for its drinks and I was expecting a typical Mexican fare. Our first warning was the line at 5:00 to get in. We were in no hurry, and they entered us in on their Ipad and told us they would text us in about fourty five minutes. People after us were waiting over two hours for a spot in this little forty seat restaurant. Off we went to window shop at the stores in the town.
Just as expected, our text arrived and we were seated in the tight but conformable quarters. It’s loud and full of bustling servers who pay constant attention to your every need. No ordinary Mexican fare, I wouldn’t call it fusion, but it was close… we ordered tapas style and let the waitress and cook space out our food… but first avocado margaritas… I didn’t know what to expect, but they were smooth and wonderful!
We had the guacamole of the day, with watermelon cubes mixed throughout. It was zesty and each time you hit a little watermelon cube it bust of sweetness… wonderful
Then our courses arrived — steak tacos with sauces on top ( outstanding ), cheesy rice and corn — I swear cheesy rice stands toe to toe against risotto as the best way to serve rice, and the corn was addictive, daughter and dad eyed each other for the last bite…
Then tilipia tacos with coleslaw, fresh breaded fish – and then prawn tacos with an assortment of mayo. These reminded me of sushi.
We left so surprised ( this not your normal Mexican ) and satisfied with our discovery of a culinary treasure.
Almost perfect day? Well don’t forget the sunscreen on a long bike ride…
I discovered tapas ( those delightful Spanish appetizers ) by accident. I happened to park in front a restaurant in Naperville, IL that served them, and strolled in to try one. I have been a fan ever since. Designed as finger food, tapas are best shared with friends, where you can each savor the variety of different tastes where each bite is accented with cheese or a sauce to help bring out the maximum flavor.

Theory: George Clooney Is Going To Announce He’s Running For Office
What’s more cynical than suggesting George Clooney got engaged to Amal Alamuddin because he either knocked her up or is trying to do preemptive damage control on an incoming gay scandal? My new theory that Clooney is giving up his dedication to the bachelor life to marry the accomplished lawyer — someone “on his level,” finally! — because he’s going to announce a run for political office. HEAR ME OUT.
Rumors that Clooney has his eye on Washington have swirled for awhile now and the actor is certainly one of the more politically vocal celebs in Hollywood. His views on social and economic issues aren’t particularly radical or outside the status quo and he’s been rewarded with a certain level of insider status, serving as one of the United Nations Messengers of Peace since 2008. As an Oscar-winning actor and accomplished director, he’s pretty much peaked in his chosen career. Perhaps it’s time for a second?
But single playboys generally don’t appeal to our American view of “family values” and a married politician’s spouse is open to nearly as much scrutiny as the candidate themselves. The women Clooney has long dated — among them, former WWE diva Stacy Kiebler, Italian actress and showgirl Elisabetta Canalis, and cocktail waitress Sarah Larson — probably wouldn’t have passed muster. But his new fiancee Amal Alamuddin, a big time international lawyer who has represented Wikileaks’ Julian Assange, amongst other people? Now she’s First Wife material.
At first it seemed ridiculous that a “source” (aka Clooney’s rep, until People.com changed the attribution) would describe Alamuddin as being “on his level” because she’s not an up-and-coming actress, given that Clooney makes his living as an actor. But maybe what they meant was that Alamuddin is on FUTURE POLITICAL CANDIDATE George Clooney’s level, making her the ideal candidate herself for the role of his Mrs. I obviously have no proof, just a gut instinct that there’s more to this engagement beyond just true love, but if there’s anything more cynical than me, it’s politics.

Households can diversify their portfolios as an alternate method to reduce income variability and ensure a minimum level of income. The study included multi-stage sampling, binary logistic regression, and a logit regression methodology. In the year 2016-17, the study was carried out in Jammu & Kashmir State (Union Territory), with a total sample size of 630 farming families selected from four agro-ecological zones. 15 farming households were taken at random from each of the designated villages, with no replacements, and only 10 farm families were kept for analysis. From the total sample size of 630, the mean age of farming families in the sub-tropical, intermediate, temperature, and cold-arid zones was 53, 50, 47, and 51 years, respectively, and the educational level of middle pass was 24.40 percent. The majority of households (78.40%) did not diversify their off-farm activities, while the very few households (1.90%) had a high level of income diversification from off-farm activities. The average gross revenue from on-farm operations was Rs. 77,623 per year, whereas the average gross income from off-farm activities was Rs. 1,17,643 per year. The push factors that drove agricultural family families to diversify into other activities were education, family size, and fragmented land holdings. According to the study, there is a need to promote education and skill development training among farm family families, as this will undoubtedly improve their ability to diversify their various sources of income.
