After a century in stasis the girl En arrives at her destination: A Palace out of legend, a marvel of the old civilization eons gone, still awaiting its first human occupants. Out here, using forgotten technologies, she hopes to bring back a life that shouldn’t have been lost.
In ECHO everything has consequence: As you try to wield its magical technologies it becomes apparent that the Palace has a will of its own… It studies everything you do, everything you are – to use it against you.
The Palace creates Echoes – exact copies of you in every way. They behave like you and only do the things you do. So the way you play the game shapes your enemy. If you run, soon the Echoes will get faster. If you sneak, they will get stealthier. If you shoot, they will start to shoot back. The game constantly reacts to your every choice and input.
The Palace "reboots" every few minutes, resulting in a blackout. This blackout-cycle is the rhythm at which the "Echoes" get updated with your latest behavior, learning and unlearning from your actions. During the blackout the palace is blind, giving you the freedom to act without consequence. This is the time to run and gun and do all the things you don’t want the Echoes to learn.
The experience is one of being up against your own choices from the last blackout-cycle, giving you a way of shaping the game from cycle to cycle. It is up to you whether you prefer to keep a low profile or if you choose to go head on and deal with the consequences later – one thing is certain you need to keep your wits about you as you face the ultimate enemy: Yourself.

McDonald’s customers in Washington, D.C., can expect their next order of fries to come with a message of inclusivity.
In celebration of the city’s LGBTQ community, select McDonald’s locations in the D.C. area will be serving large orders of french fries in rainbow-print packaging during Pride weekend.
The colorful fry boxes will be available between June 9 and June 11, but only while supplies last, and only at three specific McDonald’s restaurants located along this year’s Capital Pride Alliance’s parade route.
The McDonald’s Family Restaurants of Greater Washington, D.C., is also a sponsor of the Capital Pride Alliance — a non-profit organization dedicated to LGBTQ education and outreach — and will reportedly have a float in this year’s parade on June 10.
Cathy Martin, co-chair of the McDonald’s PRIDE Network and vice president/general manager of McDonald’s Baltimore Washington Region, explained the company’s new fry boxes in a press release obtained by Fox News.
“The rainbow fry boxes are a fun way to show our support of the LGBTQ community using one of McDonald’s most iconic and recognizable items; however, these fry boxes are ‘small potatoes’ in the grand scheme of our commitment to this community,” said Martin.
“We are proud to honor and celebrate the LGBTQ community, including our employees, customers and beyond, each and every day.”
Participating McDonald’s locations include: 1944 14th Street, NW; 1619 17th Street, NW; and 1916 M Street, NW.
This year’s Capital Pride parade is scheduled for June 10 between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. Other Capital Pride weekend festivities include a rooftop pool party on June 8; an opening celebration on June 9; a block party and brunch on June 10, and the closing festival and concert on June 11.
McDonald’s of Greater Washington, D.C. is also an official sponsor of the Capital Pride Block Party on June 10.

Investigation of Inmate Found Dead in Cell Concludes
District Attorney Daryl Bailey told the Montgomery Advertiser on Wednesday that a grand jury found no reason to bring criminal charges against anybody in connection with the January 2015 death of 19-year-old Tony Lewis Jr.
Bailey says the State Bureau of Investigation concluded that Lewis had ingested a large amount of amphetamine and methamphetamine. He says eyewitnesses told investigators that Lewis swallowed the substance all at once after hearing the guards were going to search the cells for illegal drugs.
Lewis was being held at Montgomery City Jail after having been arrested the month before on outstanding warrants for domestic violence charges.

Members of the new K-State Spikeball Club can be seen playing the sport in yards and sand courts around K-State. The club was officially formed as of Jan. 1.
Drew Stevens, ambassador of the club and junior in kinesiology, said the main reason he applied for ambassadorship was to start a club that would bring people together.
“Spikeball creates an unbelievable community,” Stevens said. “Talking with other ambassadors around the country, I’ve seen what a huge community it builds, as people will drive eight or 10 hours just to play Spikeball.”
The club has done just that by creating a friendly atmosphere here at K-State, Andrew Barba, sophomore in mechanical engineering and K-State Spikeball executive, said.
“Through the entire Spikeball community, I’ve met so many friends,” Barba said. “It’s really cool for a kid like me, who is from out-of-state, meeting a bunch of new people who share the same interest as me.”
Barba said those interests include a love for volleyball and the childhood game four square as Spikeball is a combination of the two.
Spikeball is a sport played with two teams of two players who line up across from each other with the Spikeball roundnet set in the center. The server hits the ball at the net toward the opposing player facing opposite of them. Once served, the object of the game is to hit the ball off the net, using up to three hits. The rally continues until a team is unable to successfully return the ball, according to the official rules on spikeball.com.
Tim Gauntt, K-State Spikeball executive and junior in kinesiology and athletic training, said the club is more community-oriented than anything else.
“It is important to us to give back to the community,” Gauntt said. “Not only to K-State, but to the Manhattan community at large.”
The club will be hosting three tournaments this semester and donating a portion of the proceeds from the tournaments to the local organization Katie’s Way.
Katie’s Way, in cooperation with the No Stone Unturned Foundation, “provides services to promote social-emotional development, prevent development of mental health challenges and address social-emotional problems that currently exist,” according to its website.
“The more money we can get through the tournaments, the more money we can donate,” Gauntt said.
The first tournament will be the Kansas State Spikeball Open, which is free for teams to enter and will be at the sand volleyball courts in the Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex on March 26.
The second tournament will be the First Annual Roundnet Tournament, which will have a $20 entry fee for teams to play, in the event fields at the Rec Complex on April 9. There will be two categories of play, one for beginners and one for more experienced players. During the tournament, there will be a raffle for a ticket to Country Stampede.
The third tournament, the KSA Campus Tournament, will be in cooperation with the Kinesiology Student Association and will have a $20 entry fee for teams. The tournament will be held at Memorial Stadium on April 30. This tournament will help raise money for the department of kinesiology and future scholarships, Stevens said.
The club will also be hosting an Orange Leaf Fundraiser on March 9.
Barba said there are members of this club who carry their Spikeball equipment in bright yellow bags wherever they go.
“Don’t be shy about it,” Barba said. “If you ever see these (bags) around campus, just ask us to play and we will stop what we are doing and play.”

text: The Kairana Lok Sabha bypoll scheduled for May 28 is set to witness a battle between two women from two politically powerful and rival families of western Uttar Pradesh. The BJP on Tuesday officially declared Mriganka Singh as its candidate. She will go head-to-head against former MP Tabassum Begum, who is strategically contesting on an RLD ticket but with the open support of the SP and understanding with the BSP.Mriganka Singh is the daughter of former Kairana MP and BJP stalwart Hukum Singh, whose death in February due to illness necessitated the bypoll. Tabassum Begum is the widow of Munawwar Hasan, who was MP from both Kairana and Muzaffarnagar seats in 1996 and 2004 before he died in a road accident in 2008. While Munawwar, whose father Athar Hasan was also an MP, contested on an SP ticket, his wife Tabassum won in 2009 after his death as a BSP candidate. In 2014, BJP’s Hukum Singh won the Kairana Lok Sabha seat, defeating Tabassum’s son Nahid Hasan, then only 26, by 2.35 lakh votes even though he secured an impressive 3.29 lakh votes, in a highly polarised contest post the Muzaffarnagar riots.An opportunity The bypoll will also provide an opportunity for Mriganka Singh to avenge her defeat in the 2017 Assembly elections at the hands of Nahid Hasan, who as an SP candidate defeated her by over 21,000 votes in Kairana despite a high-pitched campaign by the BJP on the controversial and polarising subject of exodus of Hindus. In that election, Hukum Singh’s nephew Anl Chauhan, unhappy over being ticket, contested on an RLD ticket, eventually helping Nahid Hasan widen the gap over Mirganka.While sources said the BJP is expected to raise the exodus issue again in the campaign, Mriganka will, to a large extent, rely on the legacy of her father. On the other hand, by fielding Tabassum on an RLD ticket, the SP has attempted to bridge the gap between Muslims and Jats almost five years after the 2013 Muzaffarnagar communal violence polarised the entire region and dismantled old political arithmetic between the two communities.The nomination will help keep the RLD relevant while safeguarding the opposition against potential communal polarisation which would have become imminent had Tabassum contested on an SP ticket without the RLD involvement. Tabassum will file her nomination on Wednesday and the RLD plans to put up a show of strength on the occasion, with more Hindu Jats than Muslims expected to be visible, as per strategy.“Eighty per cent Jats are are already with us. After campaigning that will reach 90%. This election will heal all remaining wounds between Jats and Muslims,” Masood Ahmed, RLD UP president, told The Hindu.However, BJP spokesperson Chandramohan said the RLD had become an irrelevant party and the legacy and development work of Hukum Singh would see his daughter through comfortably. “The RLD is not in a position to contest elections. All votes for development, oppressed classes, farmers and backwards will go to the BJP,” Mr. Chandramohan said. The RLD had won the Kairana seat in 1999 and 2004. In 2014, under the Modi wave, the BJP had secured 5.65 lakh votes , which was more than the votes of the RLD, the BSP and the SP combined.BJP bypolls candidatesApart from Ms. Singh’s candidature from Kairana for the Lok Sabha bypoll, the BJP on Tuesday evening announced candidates for four Assembly bypolls too. The party has fielded Avani Singh for the U.P. Assembly bypoll from Noorpur, Madhav Lal Singh from Gomia in Jharkhand, Munni Devi from Tharali in Uttarakhand and Sujit Ghosh, a retired police officer, from Maheshtala in West Bengal.

Surfaces and Strategies – Shoot Mod3#16 – Location Shoot – “Johnny”
Photographing on location offers different challenges to photographing in the studio. the lighting needs careful consideration and cannot be controlled in the same way. Photographing on location requires the photographer to be a problem solver as no matter what the natural light was doing outside that day, we are need to figure it out and produce high-quality images no matter what.
Working with Johnny on location took some planning. Initially, I found a location that I thought would work for the performance strand of my work. I researched the location and had decided on various themes and ideas for the shoot.
The location chosen was Guys Cliffe House in Warwickshire. The location was available as a location share for photography group (Shoot Me Now) that we both belong to. Owned by the Freemasons, and undergoing ongoing preservation by the Friends of Guys Cliffe, this old, historical partial ruin location has many things to offer as a location shoot.
Johnny came very well prepared with a selection of outfits for the shoot. We decided to shoot in 3 – a black and white combination of jeans, shirt, boots, and corset; a formal suit and tie (although we did pair this with silver glitter stilettos); and a black combination of hotpants, corset, knee high boots, feathers, latex cuffs, pearls and a mask.
I took plenty of props along for the shoot –
Vintage Cronica 8 Camera
Vintage Kodak Retinette camera in a carry case
2 different pairs of antique opera glasses
Various Venetian masks including the Plague Doctor mask
Rabbit and pig masks
Silver glitter stilettos
For each photograph, the background and composition were important. The background needed to have interesting colour and textures that would complement and not detract from Johnny. Whilst the natural light at each location was a factor, I chose to use a directional flash with honeycomb grid to give a dramatic feel to the images. The honeycomb grid creates a narrow beam of light that stops only falls on the object or model you are pointing it at and the light does not spill everywhere. Grids are ideal for dramatic lighting setups and give a more contrasty image. The grids also enabled me to highlight the Johnny and his features, providing a degree of separation between him and the background. The grid allowed me to introduce an element of lighting control into my images.
Each composition was carefully considered and intended to create narrative in the image. Working together, Johnny and I decided on the specific poses for each shot, making the best use of the scene and props. For this shoot, I intended to stand back more from the images than I normally do. The downside of this is that the images can give the impression that, as the photographer, I am absent from the performing in front of the lens. I was shooting a wider image to include the amazing location, but don’t see as much of myself in the images as I would like. The module leader has suggested that I use something like a pocket mirror to reflect back on me and include me more in the final images.
Figures 1 and 2: Sutherst. 2017
Post processing was minimal except for a couple of images where I decided to affect the feel of the image by treating the images. One comment that I received about them was that these images looked like I had tried to mask errors with the post processing treatment and that this was emphasised when a group of treated and untreated images were shown together. I hadn’t considered that this could be the viewer’s interpretation of these images. The rabbit image (figure 2) was treated to see how far I could push it – the original image (figure 1) is fine as it is, but I wanted it to have an older feel to it. The other treated image (figure 4) was shot in bright sunlight, so the treatment helped the original image (figure 3).
Figures 3 and 4: Sutherst. 2017
Figure 5: Warhol. Man with Rabbit Mask. c. 1979
The rabbit images in figures 6 and 7 are my response to Warhol’s use of a rabbit mask (figure 15), in which he produced an image that is both whimsical and intriguing. The image is not a representation of a true character. Instead it is simulation, a hyperreal image where truth and fiction are blurred. This image interests me in relation to my own work as it demonstrates a performance and ambiguity in the meaning of the image. Warhol’s image uses a dark background for this black and white image. Warhol has used less contrast and so details on not is clearly defined in the mask that is worn. There is an element of blurring out the detail in his image, which adds to the ambiguity. There is nothing around the subject to give context or meaning as to why the mask is being worn. I set out to produce images that lead the viewer to question the intent and meaning of each image. The pig mask image in figure 8, is a variant on this.
Figures 6 and 7: Sutherst. 2017
Figure 8: Sutherst. 2017
The images involving the Venetian masks were shot in caves beneath the house carved into the rock. I chose the plague doctor mask for figures 9 and 10 as the long nose seemed fitting. It added an air of sinisterness to the scene. I am particularly pleased with figure 10 as the pose and lighting make this a strong image. This is enhanced by the composition and placement of Johnny in the frame.
Figure 9: Sutherst. 2017
Figure 10: Sutherst. 2017
Figure 11 was challenging. This was shot in the pitch black cellar using a light from my iPhone to illuminate Johnny sufficiently for my camera to focus and take the shot. Trial and error resulted in the composition below. Johnny is wearing a spiky studded Venetian eye mask to make him appear threatening. The caves and cellars at Guys Cliffe are reportedly haunted and this was the inspiration behind this image.
Figure 11: Sutherst. 2017
Johnny enjoys challenging perceptions and the norm by dressing and posing in such a way that makes the viewer question what they are looking at. Even other participants at the location share made comments about his appearance. This is great. My aim is always to have viewer engagement through oddness in the images.
Heels for men is not a new concept. Louis XIV is said to have worn four-inch heels made by Nicholas Lestage in the 1660s. “For a great king, he was rather diminutively proportioned at only 5ft 4in (1.63m). He supplemented his stature by a further 4in (10cm) with heels, often elaborately decorated with depictions of battle scenes.”(BBC News, 2013). However, Johnny’s wearing of heels does generate conversation and discussion amongst the viewers of the images. Figure 12 is an example of the images produced on the day.
Figure 12: Sutherst. 2017
Figure 13: Sutherst. 2017
Figure 14: Sutherst. 2017
Challenging the perception of the norm, was further explored by the final costume. Johnny is wearing a Venetian mask that is extremely masculine and has a sinister feel to it. I was attracted to this aspect of the mask when I found this in a mask shop Venice.
This outfit did create a few comments on the day of the shoot and continues to do so when the images are viewed.
A viewer of the images (a good friend of mine) commented that in some of the images, especially figure 3, the outfit looks almost blasphemous. Johnny and I felt that at times too on the shoot. For this reason, we decided it would not be appropriate for us to shoot any images in the Masonic rooms. So we chose outdoor locations on the site, where the outfit would be fitting.
In figure 14, Johnny looks like the keeper of protector of the building. The scale of the ruins are impressive, with only a small amount shown in this image. The edit was chosen specifically so that the viewer would be unsure when this image was shot. The monochrome tones also allowed me to increase the clarity to its maximum and also to increase the contrast in the image so that the image had added impact.
I appreciate that the images we shot at this location shoot are not to everyone’s taste and that there are many differing opinions about the work. Personally, I am pleased with the overall results and can’t wait to edit the rest.

Revive and Relief Program Terms and Conditions
The following terms and conditions will apply to each property that is enrolled in the Expedia Group Revive and Relief Program (the “Program”). Please note that participation in the Program is by invitation only to properties in designated countries. If you did not receive an invitation for this program from Expedia Group or your property is not located in a designated country, you are not eligible to participate. If you have questions about your eligibility, please contact your market manager.
Increase Your Visibility in Our Marketplace. Subject to your continued compliance with these terms and conditions, we will make available to you credits that you may apply towards your use of Expedia’s Accelerator tool on bookings made prior to December 31, 2020 (“Accelerator Credits”). Here is how Accelerator Credits will work:
- Accelerator Credit Value. The value of the Accelerator Credits for each enrolled property will be equal to 25% of the per-booking compensation for consumed bookings under your Corporate Lodging Agreement that was retained by Expedia in 2019, provided that the value of the Accelerator Credits for each enrolled property will be at least $200 and no more than $100,000.
- Application of Accelerator Credits. Accelerator Credits will be applied to your invoice (for Hotel / Property Collect bookings) or the remittance owed to you (for Expedia Collect bookings) for the relevant consumed booking. For enrolled properties whose payments for Hotel Collect / Property Collect bookings are centrally managed the Accelerator credit may in some cases be provided as a refund after your full payment of compensation due to Expedia (inclusive of the applicable Accelerator percentage). Any Accelerator Credits that are not used prior to December 31, 2020 (including use of Accelerator Credits on bookings made during that period that are later cancelled or otherwise refunded) will be forfeited. Also note that your use of Accelerator Credits cannot be applied towards any marketing commitments that you may have with Expedia.
Financial Relief. We know that times are tough for the industry right now and we want to help. During the Program Period specified on the program detail page in Partner Central, and provided that you continue to meet all the requirements under these terms during that period, we will reduce our compensation and extend your payment terms as described below.
- Reduced Compensation. Expedia’s compensation percentage will be reduced by 10% for bookings at enrolled properties that are made during the Program Period. For example, if the compensation percentage for an eligible booking at an enrolled property is 20% under your Corporate Lodging Agreement, that percentage will be reduced to 18%.
- More Time to Pay. The payment terms for invoices that we send to you during the Program Period for our compensation from Hotel Collect / Property Collect bookings at enrolled properties will be extended to 90 days from receipt of the invoice. Due to technical limitations, this benefit will not be available for enrolled properties whose payments for these bookings are centrally managed by certain hotel chains or property managers. If you have questions about whether you qualify for this benefit, please contact your market manager.
These financial relief measures apply only to bookings under your Corporate Lodging Agreement with Expedia. They do not apply to bookings under any other arrangement with Expedia Group (e.g. bookings through the GDS or under any agreements with Hotwire, Egencia, or Vrbo).
Promotions for High Value Travelers. As part of your participation in the Program, you agree to make available in our system (or we may make available on your behalf) (1) at least an additional 10% discount off all rate plans at your property (including any existing discounts and rates obtained through the auto match service ) which Expedia may use for promotions to its traveler groups (e.g. loyalty members, mobile users, etc.), and (2) refundable package rate plans with at least an additional 10% package discount. This requirement does not limit any similar requirements in your Corporate Lodging Agreement.
Keeping Your Rates Competitive. Travelers are more likely to book when they are confident that they are getting the best value. As part of your participation in the Program, you agree to participate in Expedia’s auto rate matching service. The auto rate matching service is a service that we offer to properties that want their best rate to be displayed to future travelers on Expedia. This service will help you enhance the price competitiveness of enrolled properties. Here is how it works:
- When Expedia determines that the rates for an enrolled property in our system are not competitive with the rates at which that property is available through other websites, Expedia may, on behalf of the property, reduce the rates in our system (and on our websites) to match the lower rates that we identified elsewhere.
- Each enrolled property is responsible for the accuracy of its rates. Expedia will tell you about any changes that we make to your rates through this service and you agree that they are made on your behalf.
- You can opt-out of the auto rate matching service at any time in Partner Central. Please note that it may take a few days to disable the auto rate matching service for properties after your request.
Guest Experience. In this period of uncertainty, it is important that travelers that book on Expedia are confident that they will be treated the same as travelers who book on your own website. As part of your participation in the Program, you agree that travelers who book through Expedia will be entitled to the same benefits as travelers who book directly with you. This requirement does not limit any similar requirements in your Corporate Lodging Agreement.
Additional Information. We make no representations or warranties regarding this Program including regarding results from your participation in the Program. We may make changes to this Program or these terms at any time (including terminating your participation in the Program or making any change to the Program dates or activities) and will provide you with notice of any such changes. If you are not in compliance with your requirements under this Program or these terms and conditions at any point, or you opt out of this program, you will no longer be entitled to any benefits from Expedia under the Program.

Comedy comes to Houma
Published: Thursday, March 2, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 2, 2006 at 10:47 a.m.
Beginning in a week, locals will have an opportunity to laugh it up with national comedians during two first-of-their-kind nights of comedy in March at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center.
The entertainment features some preshow video comedy and music, and an emcee who will open the show and get things going. A featured comedian and headline comedian will follow for a night of laughs and fun.
The Budweiser Comedy Nites will be held March 9 and March 24. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and the show starts at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets for the round-table seating are available for $12.50 for one show or $10 apiece for both shows. Entire tables of nine seats are on sale by calling the Civic Center at 850-4657; individual tickets can be purchased at www.ticketmaster.com, or by visiting the Civic Center box office Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
"We are using these first two shows to gauge the interest and (potential future) success," said Tammy Usie, marketing manager for the Civic Center. "If they prove to be successful, we plan to do them regularly."
The intent is to create a comedy club of sorts at the Civic Center for these shows.
"People can come and relax and have a good time and be social and then get entertained by some really good comedians," Usie said. "It is a good night out for the price, and hopefully people will want to come."
Headliner comedian on March 9 is Tommy Drake and the featured comedian is Ray Barnett.
Headliner comedian on March 24 is Al Ernst, and the featured comedian is Debbie Lockhart.
All comics who will perform travel the national comedy-club circuits.
Drake has been featured at the Montreal Just for Laughs and at Chicago and New Orleans comedy festivals. He is a regular at the Improve in Los Angeles, and The Riviera in Las Vegas and at various clubs throughout the United States and Canada. He is also a favorite on Carnival Cruise Ships.
From April 8 to May 27, 2005, Drake made himself part of comedy history by playing all 50 states in 50 days. Be on the lookout for the documentary feature of this journey tentatively titled, "Hellgig America."
In 2003 and 2004, Drake was the opening act for Cher on her farewell tour. He played 125 cities and was heard by more than 1.2 million people, making him the comic with more live performances than any other in the world.
Drake was featured in an episode of "Comcast Comedy Spotlight" filmed at the Pittsburgh Improve and an episode of "Funny is Funny" on SiTV.
Drake has been heard on NPR, the "Howard Stern Show" and "Bob and Tom."
For more information, go to www.tommydrake.com.
Born and raised in the Black Hills of South Dakota, it didnít take long to discover that Barnett had a natural flair for making people laugh. Barnett worked his way up through the ranks from a rough-and-tumble open-mike act to a polished professional.
He has worked with many national headlining comedians such as Dave Attell, Brett Butler, Dave Chappelle, Tommy Chong, Victoria Jackson, Kathleen Madigan, Ralphie May, Joe Rogan, Pauly Shore, Doug Stanhope, and Thea Vidal.
It all began at The Comedy Central Zone in Greenville, N.C., when a club manager approached Ernst and told him, "You had them dropping over with laughter out there. Youíre the Lethal Weapon of Comedy!"
Since then, the name has stuck, and Ernst uses his weapons to make audiences at his stand-up performances scream with delight.
Ernst has made appearances in more than 300 clubs and colleges across the country. His television performances include regular appearances on CNNís "Calling All Sports" or in the wrestling ring as "The Inferno," the masked underdog who never wins. Heís even been featured on "60 Minutes" on CBS.
His comedy appearances include many episode of HBO productions "Stand-Up, Stand-Up." He has also had radio gigs, appearing on morning shows or serving as a guest expert for more than 10 minor-league baseball teams.
Thousands of people have also experienced Ernst at his motivational seminars, which he delivers to companies, non-profit groups and schools.
Lockhart has been in the comedy business for more than 10 years.
She began with improv, performing across the states in 1993 and made her overseas debut in the 2000 International TheatreSports Tourn- ament in London (where she dazzled the Brits in a three-person, improvised Shakespeare play and musical).
As a solo artist, she has become one of the hottest female stand-ups on the West Coast. She recently placed among the countryís funniest in the 27th Annual San Francisco International Comedy Competition, was a semi-finalist in the 2003 and 2004 Funniest Female Competition, was accepted to perform in the Los Angeles premiere entertainment showcase, "15 Minutes of Fern," playing at the famed Egyptian Arena Theatre and just finished her Kickiní California/Colorado/New Mexico tour. She can also be seen in the indy films, "The Baxters," "My Femme Lady," and the "Job Smart" TV series.
She performs regularly in such prestigious Los Angeles comedy clubs such as The Laugh Factor, The Comedy Store and The Ice House.

In the latest of Lady Gaga visual spectacles, here’s the latest video premiered on ThierryMugler.com and StyleList.com. The song (not yet released) has a special story to it.

This short film/video intersperses images of that show, and is directed by Mariano Vivanco.
Oh, yes, that’s not make-up on the skull-faced model either, that’s real tattoo work. His name is Rick Genest and his Facebook calls him “Zombie Boy”. Add him to the freak show festivities that only Gaga can usher in. The track is from her new album, Born This Way, to be released in May 2011.

Last Friday I received an email about the internship I applied for. If you read my earlier post, you would know how surprised I was when I read the email which invited me to go to an interview.
I was being honest when I thought I failed the test. The first current affairs test was brutal for me, which I really am disappointed in myself. I thought I’d know more about politics and government.
Anyways, I was invited to go to an interview with two others on Monday and I had to come prepared with a pitch(s). I was in no shape to come up with a pitch, to the end of that week I had my wisdom teeth removed. I was always drowsy, couldn’t think straight, in a lot of pain and I was pretty much a sleep for 3 out of the 4 days.
But, I’m always up for a challenge. I replied to the email letting them know to be expecting me at 9am Monday morning.
Thankfully by Sunday I was feeling a little bit better. So I had time to come up with a pitch, write some notes down and do some uni work. I only came up with one idea, and technically speaking I should have come up with a back up plan, just in case they didn’t like it. But I thought it was a good pitch, different to what the publication would normally do, and it would attract a wider audience group.
Monday came and what a morning it was. I always plan to get a place least a 15minutes before the required time, because I face a lot, and I mean A LOT of complications throughout the day. I wouldn’t call it bad luck, I like to think of it as a challenge. But man, someone out there really likes to challenge me.
I got off the train at central and ran to get the light rial, no joke I missed it by half a second. The doors closed on me when I got there. But that’s okay because there was another one coming in 5 minutes. Five minutes came and nothing, the light rail came 10 minutes later and you’ll never believe it, it had technical problems, so everyone got off the train and waited at central. Two minutes later and another came, everyone was fighting for a place on it. I couldn’t even get a foot in the door, so I had to wait for another.
By this time, it was about 9:45am, I emailed the interviewers letting them know I may be running late. I finally got on the light rail and just made it to the interview with a minute to spare. Want to know what else? My face decided to start to show bruising, but thankfully some created things called make up.
I think the interview went well, it was a causal interview, I talked about selfies, shoes and my ability to run really fast in heels. I think they really liked my pitch, which is great. One of the panellist told me that I just scraped through with the current affairs test, but my writing sections and personally made up for it.
By the end of this week we will find out if we got a place. But like I said before, what an amazing opportunity that was. I’m happy I made it this far and If I don’t get it? there’s always next time and many other opportunities out there.
You’ve just got to stay positive xx


Although exact figures vary according to who you ask, the sport of football is generally worth about $3 billion per year. That number sounds like a lot, but it pales in comparison to other sports industries. Many of those sports are worth more than $10 billion per year. We have to look across the Atlantic at soccer, the world’s top sport by revenue and popularity, to find a comparable industry.
What are football’s primary sources of finance? They are pretty straightforward: licensing rights sold on TV and merchandise sales from stadiums, apparel companies (just look at the newest NFL jersey designs!), and other commercial partners such as Coca-Cola or McDonald’s.
Those are still the main sources of income for most professional leagues around the world, but they are also getting squeezed between competitors like Amazon Prime Video Rights Deals and new technologies like Virtual Reality (which could soon bring big brand-name players into VR games).
The biggest challenge faced by all major league teams worldwide is their inability to generate enough cash flow internally through ticket sales and commercial partnerships with outside brands (a problem made worse by skyrocketing player salaries that drive up consumer product prices).

Cryptocurrency in Sports
A lot of athletes have invested in cryptocurrency, and it is not hard to see why. In 2017, the value of Bitcoins surpassed the price of gold, but cryptocurrency is still new, and people are still trying to figure out how it works. In general, a cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security.
The first decentralized cryptocurrency was Bitcoin, created in 2009 by someone calling themselves Satoshi Nakamoto. Since then, there have been many different cryptocurrencies that are either similar to Bitcoin or using some new technology to try and challenge Bitcoin’s dominance.
The most well-known athlete who has invested in cryptocurrency is English football player Michael Owen. Michael Owen set up an online casino that accepts payments in Bitcoins as well as pounds sterling and euros. He also partnered with an investment firm called Sportsbet.io, where he will help them promote their sports betting platform, which can be used with various cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Dash Coin, amongst others.
Manchester City’s own Riyad Mahrez has invested through another company called Mangocoinz which allows him to turn his fans into investors by allowing them access to exclusive content from Mahrez himself, such as videos and photos that are sent directly from his phone via the app from Mangocoinz called MangopayzWallet.
The popularity of cryptocurrency in various sectors has ignited smaller and newer crypto to become more aggressive. One such cryptocurrency is Solana, which plans to complete each transaction within 5 seconds. It is also considered to be among the big league of cryptos soon and also planning to be used in different sectors.
But as these cryptos are new, it is essential to know what is SOL, why should we buy SOL, and how to buy SOL to assess its worth in the crypto world. Taking this into consideration, we can predict more and more cryptocurrencies to enter the sports financing sector.
The Problem in Football Financing
Corruption is a huge problem in the world of football finance. Some believe that it has become so widespread that it may be impossible to tackle the issue effectively.
The cost of tickets, merchandise, and venue upkeep also make fans feel alienated from their favorite sport. While fans are paying for all these overheads, the players and managers are receiving record-breaking salaries and bonuses every year. The clubs themselves are becoming more corporate entities rather than community hubs for fans to congregate and enjoy a game together.
For some people, it is becoming increasingly difficult to justify supporting an industry that is being run like this.
Simplicity is the key to revolutionizing football financing with cryptocurrency. Online gambling, ticket sales, and other transactions will all be made through the same medium, cryptocurrency. The digital currency not only allows these transactions to be done in a completely safe way but also saves money by reducing administrative costs and eliminating the need for third parties to intervene in financial transactions.
That is why today, players and fans alike are increasingly turning to the blockchain, the technology that underpins cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. The promise of decentralized exchanges and seamless transactions underpin a range of benefits. For players, it means better security (players’ information is stored on their own devices).
It also means faster payments than traditional currencies or bank transfers, which can be a real hassle if you are playing for an eSports team with sponsors who are waiting for payments. And because there is no third party involved in these transactions, there is no need to pay exorbitant fees. There will only ever be one fee per transaction.
For fans, it means that they can track their favorite teams more closely in real-time too. When you put all of this together, it creates the potential for better player management and more optimized ticket sales around game results.
Football and Cryptocurrency: The Perfect Match
In the coming years, cryptocurrency will become an essential part of football. Not only football but all sports will be using cryptocurrency to finance their operations and pay the merchants.
Cryptocurrency is a digital currency that can be used for online transactions without the involvement of banks or government regulations. As it is still in its infancy stage, there are a few people who consider this method of payment risky and unpredictable. However, if we look at the future of sports financing, we will find that many people who have invested in cryptocurrencies have gained huge profits through them so far.
Cryptocurrency Will Be Integral to Football
The technology that powers cryptocurrencies is called the blockchain. Cryptocurrencies are built on a decentralized network of computers, which allows for security and transparency and makes the financial system more efficient and effective.
Cryptocurrencies use blockchain technology to make transfers of value extremely secure and fast. Transactions are done through a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, which means that you can send money from one place to another without going through third parties like banks or payment systems.
In addition to being easier than traditional fiat currencies when it comes time to transfer money, cryptocurrency also has the potential to be used in real-life situations like buying tickets for football matches or purchasing memorabilia online. This could make life easier for fans who want access but do not have access due to their location or lack of cash flow at that time.


eSIM and iSIM are two types of embedded SIM technology used in mobile devices. While both offer advantages over traditional physical SIM cards, they have some key differences. In this article, we will explain what eSIM and iSIM are, and highlight the benefits of eSIM over iSIM.
What is eSIM?
eSIM stands for Embedded SIM. It’s a small chip that is embedded into a device, such as a smartphone, smartwatch, or tablet, that allows users to activate a mobile network without the need for a physical SIM card. The eSIM is reprogrammable, meaning that it can be programmed with multiple network profiles and can be remotely activated or deactivated.
What is iSIM?
iSIM stands for Integrated SIM. It’s a variant of eSIM, but with the SIM technology integrated directly into the device’s processor. This means that the SIM functionality is built into the device and doesn’t require a separate SIM card or module.
Benefits of eSIM over iSIM
While both eSIM and iSIM offer some advantages over traditional SIM cards, eSIM has some unique benefits that make it a better option for many users:
- Flexibility: eSIM allows users to switch between multiple carriers and plans without physically changing the SIM card. This is particularly useful for frequent travelers who need to switch between carriers when traveling internationally.
- Easy to Activate: eSIM can be activated remotely, which means that users don’t need to visit a carrier store or wait for a physical SIM card to be delivered. This makes it quick and easy to activate a new plan or carrier.
- More Widely Available: eSIM is currently more widely available than iSIM. Many carriers around the world already support eSIM, and It is becoming increasingly common in new devices. Moreover, lots of vendors like eSIM USA and eSIM Europe are providing competitive plans, so people can use them at reasonable prices.
- Compatible with More Devices: eSIM is compatible with a wide range of devices, including smartphones, smartwatches, tablets, and laptops. iSIM is currently only available on some devices, such as the latest iPhones and some IoT devices.
- Lower Cost: Since eSIM doesn’t require a physical SIM card, there are no costs associated with manufacturing, shipping, or distributing the cards. This can result in lower costs for carriers, which can be passed on to the end user.
In conclusion, eSIM and iSIM are both types of embedded SIM technology that offer some advantages over traditional SIM cards. However, eSIM has some unique benefits that make it a better option for many users. Its flexibility, ease of activation, wider availability, compatibility with more devices, and lower cost make it a compelling choice for those looking to upgrade to the latest mobile technology.

This paper analyses the impact of a transition to Hydrogen (H2) fuel cell vehicles (H2EV) as an alternative to Battery Electric Vehicles (EV) for passengers? cars and its influence on the power sector. A simple model is used to estimate the electricity demand to produce the H2 needed, and CEVESA model, modified to include investments and variable costs of H2 production, is used to solve its impact on the MIBEL electricity market both on the operation and on the investments electricity generation decisions. Some scenarios considering different shares of EV and H2EV have been simulated to assess their impact, with the base case obtained from the recent Spanish National Plan for Energy and Climate (NPEC).

The Roxborough United U9 Thunder completed a magical season culminating with a decisive 4-1 win over the Parkwood Storm to capture the championship in the Division 4 East conference of the Inter County Soccer League. The Thunder put the game away early with consecutive goals by Penny Wilson, Danika Keough and Corinne Tarver. Oghanive Omole tacked on an insurance goal late in the game after Parkwood’s Nora Veith put the Storm on the board. Harley Carter and Santana Morgan were both excellent in goal but credit has to go to the Thunder’s suffocating defense in not allowing Parkwood to get many quality shots on net. Coaches Neil Wilson and Dan Renn deserve some props too for preparing the girls to play with confidence in the competitive ICSL. Rounding out the solid squad were Carson Renn, Abigail Chatfield, Finley Morgan, Vivian Linden, Quinn Pendergast, and Izzy Taylor.

What a glorious, spring day yesterday! We spent our Easter morning in the garden drinking coffee and enjoying the warm air, blossoms and sweet scent of the pink jasmine.
Mr. A even brought out the cushions from storage so we could soak up the sun.
This is my favorite time of year when the garden looks its best.
In a few weeks, the Cecile Brunner roses will be blooming, covering the arbor, aka the "tunnel of love."
I can't wait!
I spy some lilac blossoms!
Why didn't I plant more than one lilac bush?
Bear is suspicious that a certain Easter bunny has been in his yard.
He has already found a few eggs laying around!
Yay, Reese found them all! (With Papa's help!)
Have a wonderful week! I know this weather won't last....
GM D! You yard is so beautiful and inviting. Reece is a little doll! It sounds as if you had a perfect family day. Another glorious day here today!! Happy Monday,
Delores, your garden looks beautiful, I look forward to following it through the Summer.
Those urns planted with Sedum look great. I have urns at the top of my garden shopping list this year but as yet haven't seen one that fit the bill.
Yes, it was a truly glorious day here too! I love looking up through the new green leaves to the clear blue sky. Enjoy the spring days Delores!
Delores, what a beautiful garden!! I imagine that it is just wonderful to sit and take it all in! My jasmine has just started to bloom; and I can't wait for the breezes to carry that lovely scent throughout the garden! Yours is just beautiful!
Your garden and plants look marvelous, Delores! Glad you had a happy Easter!
What a sunning garden!I can only imagine how much work you must put into it for it to look so good! My ideal garden I think.
I've just planted my first seeds here since I arrived in Florida 3 years ago. I've had a lot to learn about gardening. I miss my formal English garden and seeing yours takes me back. Thank you. I hope to see an abundance of color in my own backyard this Summer ~ fingers crossed. Hugs, Sally xx
Ah, California winter and spring! I remember when the patio cushions would come back out; so, you saying that just triggered such a feeling.
Your garden is, indeed, lush and beautiful. What a sight those rose will be!!! =]
and, that is one sweet and very pretty girly, there! =]
Happy day after Eater, Delores!
Your garden looks like a little slice of paradise. So tranquil...the perfect spot for a morning cup of coffee.
What a beautiful garden you have and so it the little one. We are working on our back yard this year. I just love yours.
Your graden is beautiful and it looks like you had a wonderful day!!! I can't wait until the weather here allows us to drink our coffee on the patio.....it's still a little too chilly to do it yet!!
Delores, your garden is gorgeous. Don't you love the fragrance of lilacs? Our are almost finished blooming but our roses are doing well.
Thanks for sharing your lovely garden. Reese is just darling.Look at her cut little outfit! Have a great week,

Delores ~ Your home and gardens are just beautiful. More, more, please give us more. ~m
Your yard, as always, inspires. My Cecile Brynner is already blooming but it's just those few degrees of difference between Northern California (you) and Southern California (me). You're right, I believe they have forecast rain for us on Wednesday. Still, enjoy it while we have it, right?
P.S. Your granddaughter is darling.
What a beautiful yard and isn't it the best that you could sit outside in the morning and enjoy 'a cup' in your outdoor morning room!!
Love your blog and visit it almost everyday!
Mary Anne ox
So, so pretty! Love to see Bear hunting for eggs!
Your garden looks beautiful, Delores, and Reese is absolutely adorable.
I'd be happy to spend time in this garden. Love the urns with the succulents, Delores. I'm going to plant more of these this year. Started with my Easter centerpiece. ;-)
Have a great day.......Sarah
Oh my dear! Your garden is just gorgeous!!! What a beautiful post! I so enjoyed it! Thank your sharing!And that last picture with Reese and papa is so touching!
Your yard is spectacular!! Needs to be on the cover of a magazine. I especially like how you have used succulents in your urns.
Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful space. No wonder you love it!
In Minnesota, spring in the garden
means you are introduced anew to some plants you've actually forgotten over the winter (winter is long here). It's really fun, and it makes you excited for what's to come!
I could live in your yard. So lush and green. She is so cute!
Your garden is to die for, Delores! I wish I could sit there in person and take in all the loveliness with your sweet pooch.
Why am I so not surprised!!!??
Bear is so cute! Love the "tunnel of love" - so wonderful! Also, I love love love the green striped cushions!
Your garden is stunning. I would have a hard time leaving when things are blooming.

TORONTO - When Canadian fiddle trio Stephanie Cadman, Kendel Carson and Miranda Mulholland were deciding on a name for their rising band, they flipped through a book on women of the Wild West.
As they came upon the profile of notorious American outlaw Belle Starr, the knew they had found their musical moniker.
"She rode a horse, she drank whisky, she shot guns, she got divorced — there were a lot of things that she did kind of before her time that men were allowed to do and she wasn't, and I think that was certainly the sort of spirit of why we wanted to choose that name," Mulholland, 32, said in a recent interview.
Such fortitude also flies in the face of stereotypes some have prematurely put on the fetching Belle Starr members, who released their first full-length, self-titled album this week.
"We wanted to incorporate a certain level of rebel or outlaw only because ... three fiddles and three voices coming together in this kind of way isn't really a run-of-the-mill everyday kind of band, and also we didn't want to sound just all very pretty, we wanted to have some sort of strength," said Mulholland, who hails from Guelph, Ont.
"It's a very funny thing. People immediately, when I was telling them about Belle Starr, when we first became this group, (said) 'Oh, that's a marketing thing: three hair colours, three girls,' we're exactly the same size.
"There are so many things you would immediately spring to and we almost had to run very fast in the other direction."
"I remember someone wanted to call us The Charmers," added Cadman, 31, noting the group was not impressed with the name suggestion.
"That's the thing, you look at us and we've got a blond, a brunette and a redhead and it's so easy to come up with names like that."
Belle Starr also bring a sense of strength to their newly released disc through several cover tunes by male artists, including John Hiatt's "Cry Love," Jack Marks' "New Girl Now," Bruce Springsteen's "Tougher Than the Rest" and Justin Rutledge's "Be A Man."
Other tracks on the album include Neil Young's "Love is a Rose," "Pull Me Down" by the Skydiggers (Skydiggers lead guitarist Josh Finlayson also produced the record), and the Belle Starr originals "Arthur's Air," "Charity Kiss" and "Plough the Sea."
The three share singing duties on the songs and are backed by a band on the Toronto-made album.
Ottawa-raised Cadman, who wrote two of the originals ("Arthur's Air," "Plough the Sea"), is also the percussionist of the group — but in a unique way.
The champion step-dancer records tap beats for the band to write tunes around, and provides their rhythm section during live performances by tapping on a plywood board, often while playing the fiddle at the same time.
"I grew up playing Celtic fiddling and Acadian fiddling and they always accompany themselves with their feet, so this is very similar to that but in the modern age," she said.
Belle Starr first came together about three years ago through Mulholland, who is also a member of Juno-nominated folk-rockers Great Lake Swimmers.
After subbing in for Cadman in her string-instrument group Bowfire, and for Victoria-raised Carson in her folk group The Paperboys, Mulholland thought it would be a fun idea if they all played together in a violin project.
"Violins are so versatile, you can use them in lots of different ways — sort of more orchestrally or rhythmic soloistic — so I thought it would be really neat to be able to experiment with that and also three different voices," she said.
"I had no idea how well they would go together but the first time we sang together I think immediately it was pretty magic and we all kind of felt it. But ... we didn't want to force anything to happen."
They decided to start off doing covers of songs that meant something to them so they could get a sense of how well their voices meshed and figure out their own sound.
With their full-length album, a major goal was to highlight works by more niche Canadian artists in the hopes it "might be a platform for different people to hear their songs," said Mulholland.
They also didn't want their looks to be the primary focus.
Hence the cover, which depicts the backs of the trio as they walk toward the sunset in California's Joshua Tree National Park, their figures tiny against the dusty landscape.
"Even our first EP, it's all of us but we're quite small and really we wanted to get more about the feeling," said the redheaded Mulholland, (Cadman is brunette and Carson is blond).
"We feel so lucky to have this amazing experience but we didn't want to just have our face plastered all over the front, or our hair colours."


Someone at BMW apparently thinks only another 30 horses is a good idea. The S65 V8 in the E92 M3 offered another 70 horsepower AT THE WHEELS over the E46 M3 it replaced. With Mercedes bringing the heat and Audi set to go to a turbo motor, this does not look like it is going to cut it. 30 more horsepower? Is this a joke?
The only bright side BimmerBoost can see is that the new M3 may be severely underrated just like the F10 M5. Let's assume this is the case and apply what we have all seen with the F10 M5 to the new M3. That would mean 417 wheel horsepower for the new M3 despite its appallingly low crank rating. That would also mean an increase of 67 wheel horsepower over the E92 M3 which is a hell of a lot better than 30 horsepower at the crank.
With the new turbo motors BMW is making a habit of underrating them especially in M trim. The low crank rating likely designed not to incite a horsepower war with Mercedes and Audi which is already going on anyway with Mercedes already raising the stakes in the V8 arena. Regardless, assuming about 420 wheel horsepower (which is a best case scenario with a 444 hp crank rating) BMW is not going to win the raw power battle as they did with the F10 M5 temporarily until Mercedes regains the crown.
BMW M3 fans may be starting to sweat just a bit.
