14. Dua Lipa’s “New Rules” at Radio 1’s Teen Awards

11. Fifth Harmony’s “Down” and “Angel” at the VMAs
The girl group threw some memorable shade at former member Camila Cabello as they took the stage to perform a medley from their new album. They also delivered live vocals and choreography for one of their best-staged sets.
10. Camila Cabello’s “Havana” at the Latin American Music Awards
The budding solo paid tribute to her heritage with a Spanglish rendition of her breakout solo single “Havana.” She and a horde of dancers ensured the number was one of the spiciest of the evening, and an extended dance break offered Camila an opportunity to show off her flamenco skills.
9. Mary J. Blige and A$AP Rocky’s “Set Me Free” and “Love Yourself” at the BET Awards
Taking the stage in a bedazzled silver two piece, Mary J. Blige was supported by a live band and delivered an empowering performance before being joined by her collaborator. Entering in a bout of smoke, A$ASP Rocky brought the fire for his verses.

Sam Gallo, Chief Investment Officer of the University System of Maryland Foundation, discusses how investing in hedge funds, allows university endowments to best support students, hold down tuition costs, and fund educational opportunities.
- The University of Maryland invests more than $100 million in hedge funds, directly for the benefit of thousands of students.
- The University System of Maryland Foundation prepares people for their next, and oftentimes first, jobs coming out of college.
- Hedge funds manage risk and volatility so that the University System of Maryland Foundation’s portfolio succeeds, meaning its students succeed.
[00.05-00.11]: My name is Sam Gallo, and I’m the Chief Investment Officer of the University System of Maryland Foundation.
[00.12-00.30]: The University System of Maryland Foundation serves twenty-three different higher-ed institutions in the state of Maryland, inclusive of eleven USM institutions and then a variety of other community colleges, as well as affiliated higher-ed institutions in the state of Maryland.
[00.30-00.38]: The Foundation provides funds for scholarships, professorships, research, and facilities and maintenance.
[00.38-00.49]: We help launch a lot of the economic activity that happens in the state of Maryland by preparing people for their next job, oftentimes their first job.
[00.49-01.00]: Hedge funds and private capital play a very important role in our portfolio. They’re in-tune with markets, they see where market risks exist as well as where opportunities may lie.
[01.00-01.15]: We use them to help balance out that volatility so that our trajectory is smooth and steady and hopefully on the upward path to achieve the returns that we need to achieve to provide scholarships, professorships, research, and facilities and maintenance funding.
[01.16-01.30]: An endowment is supposed to be a perpetual vehicle. When we invest our capital, we’re thinking of both the spending that needs to be done today, this year, but we’re also thinking about ten years from now, and fifteen years from now.
[01.30-01.42]: So, when you understand that concept, it would be absolutely devastating to our university and any university to not have good risk controls inside their endowment.
[01.43-01.49]: If we were not able to invest in hedge funds, we would be losing a critical tool of risk management.
[01.50-01.58]: Having more risk inside of a portfolio just means that we’re risking not being able to send more students to college.
[01.59-02.00]: When hedge funds in our portfolio succeed, students succeed, society succeeds.

The beef brisket sandwich is great. There is a decent beer selection here.
Service was okay. Wait time was limited. We were seated as soon as we stepped in. It was a Sunday evening. Atmosphere was decent. A little pricey for two and a child. Reminds me of ink Chicago grill.
Brunch is great. Would recommend.
Pit beef sandwich and sweet potato fries....I could eat that meal day!
Salmon burger is pretty darn good!
The seasonal hot dog and a pumpkin ale are perfect for the fall season. I highly recommend.
Yummy food. Great service. Great beer selection.
The music here is stellar. The best classic oldies around.
Go for the chili. It's awesome.
Amazing food, good beer selection and relaxed, personal environment. Love it here.
If you aren't drinking be prepared to ask your server anytime you want ANYTHING. otherwise it's a fine place, good food.

Posted: Thursday, March 1st, 2012
Almost fifty years have passed since President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assassinated by persons unknown on the streets of Dallas, Texas.

page 303 note 2 During the 1965 Spring Quarter, I taught a lecture-practicum course on African dance at Michigan State University.

Motion-picture films and tape-recordings from my 1963 field-work were used as illustrative material.

Goodwin Procter could be headed to the Hub’s waterfront
In what could be a blockbuster deal of the year, Boston developer Joseph Fallon is close to securing a major law firm for his next office building at Fan Pier, commercial real estate sources told the Boston Business Journal.
The plan calls for a 15-story office building to be built for Goodwin Procter between the Vertex Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: VRTX) buildings and the Institute of Contemporary Art on the waterfront. The Hub’s second largest law firm is housed at 415,000 square feet of office space on 14 floors at 53 State St., which is owned by UBS (NYSE: UBS). But the lease is set to expire in 2016. The new building would include about as much square footage.
Sources said Goodwin Procter also considered Pier 4, the nearby mixed-use project on the South Boston waterfront that is being developed by Newton-based New England Development that will include 1 million square feet of hotel, residential, office, retail and civic uses on nearly 10 acres. But sources said the site was rejected because the developer would need Zoning Board approval for a taller tower.
Fan Pier is a $3 billion development, spanning nine city blocks. The 23-acre development is expected to eventually include office buildings, condominiums, retail, a hotel and parks.
If a deal between Fallon and Goodwin Procter is signed, this would be the fourth building for Fan Pier. Two Vertex buildings are expected to be completed by the end of 2013 and will join the One Marina Park Drive office building already open on the property, LouisBoston, several restaurants and a marina.
In 2010, Fallon opened the first office building at One Marina Park Drive with law firm Fish & Richardson as the major tenant.
Fallon could not be reached for comment.
Stephen Karp, CEO of New England Development, declined to comment.

Alpha Performance customer “Dr. SS” who had his E63 AMG 4Matic tuned here at AMS/Alpha Performance last winter, just wrote to us with a 10,000 mile update – He seems to be enjoying the 700+ HP and 830 TQ without a single issue. Read his impressions of the Alpha tuned beast below!
“Sup guys been a while, been busy with work and have been driving my car a lot. Thought I’d post up an update on my Alpha tuned M157. Some of u may know I had a tuned 2013 which I logged 17k miles on before selling it for a 2014 E63 4matic S model.
Got the 2014 and immediately had it dynotuned by Alpha Performance I’m now at 10,000 miles.
What a perfect tune. I’ve driven the car in every season, and its just flawless. I’m addicted to the torque to the point that my GT-R just sits and collects dust.
The Alpha tune has been honed to perfection, when I tuned my car it was shifting harshly 2-3 in sport plus, Martin the president discovered that the factory tune cuts boost/fuel between shifts more aggressively as u go from s to s+, to give you a sensation of a firmer sportier shift, with over 700 ft/lbs the shift felt very abrupt, so Martin fine tuned it to perfection.
Car has run 10k miles on the Alpha tune with no hiccups. Driveability and reliability are exceptional. No changing spark plugs, no check engine lights, just no bull****
The power the custom tune makes is f’kng insane. I get tired of cars quick and get rid of them, in as little as 8 months to a year. I am completely addicted to this car. It’s the jack of all trades and the Alpha tune pays homage to the degree of engineering that goes into these cars themselves. Whenever I get the itch and I drive something else (with the exception of Alpha modded cars) they all feel completely gutless and anemic.
Anyways. Get your cars tuned!!! We live in good times rolling around in 700 ft/lbs to the wheels cars. My recommendation is to skip canned tunes and go for a custom dyno tune. After 10,000 miles of Chicago commuting I can say if you want peace of mind, take your car to Alpha Performance.”

The special session, known as “veto day,” is traditionally held in September every year. (Dana Wormald | New Hampshire Bulletin)
New Hampshire lawmakers will return to the State House Sept. 15 to decide whether to override Gov. Chris Sununu’s eight vetoes – just two days after the state’s Sept. 13 primaries.
House Speaker Sherman Packard announced the date in a message in the New Hampshire House’s weekly calendar.
The special session, known as “veto day,” is traditionally held in September every year. This year’s session carries more significance than usual: Lawmakers are planning to pass last-minute legislation to distribute $100 fuel assistance payments to New Hampshire residents, a $60 million state-funded proposal put forward by Gov. Chris Sununu in June.
The timing of the veto day means that some senators and representatives could participate despite losing their primaries two days before.
Sununu vetoed seven House bills and one Senate bill this year, including two redistricting bills, House Bill 52 and Senate Bill 200, to redraw the lines around the state’s two congressional seats. House and Senate Republicans attempted to rearrange the districts to make one lean heavily toward Republican voters and another lean heavily toward Democratic voters; Sununu rejected that approach, arguing both should stay competitive. The New Hampshire Supreme Court has since redrawn the districts itself.
Among the other bills Sununu vetoed are House Bill 275, which would limit the governor’s powers over declaring a state of emergency; House Bill 319, which would require public college and university students to pass a civics test; House Bill 1022, which would permit pharmacists to distribute ivermectin using a standing order; House Bill 1131, which would override schools’ ability to pass mask mandates; House Bill 1454, which would require stricter measures to separate landfills from bodies of water; and House Bill 1625, which would repeal the “buffer zone” prohibition that prevents protesters from standing within a certain distance of reproductive health facilities.
In order for a veto to be overridden, the bill must return to the chamber it originated in and lawmakers in that chamber must vote to override the veto with a two-thirds majority. If the vote is less than two-thirds, the veto is sustained. If the veto is overridden by that chamber, it moves to the opposite chamber, which must also override the veto by two-thirds.
Veto overrides, which require bipartisan agreement that the governor’s decision was wrong, are not common. But advocates for the stricter landfill siting bill, HB 1454, say they may have a shot. That bill passed the Senate 16-8, a veto-proof majority, and passed the House on a voice vote.
In order to approve the fuel assistance legislation, which is being introduced outside of the spring legislative calendar, lawmakers in both chambers will need to suspend the rules with a two-thirds vote. At that point, a bill may be introduced and must pass with a majority in both chambers.
A spokeswoman for the House speaker’s office said Friday that the final version of the fuel assistance bill has not been drafted yet. The spokeswoman, Jennifer Tramp, said that leadership would be gathering in the coming weeks to finalize the bill.

The original two-volume Japanese slipcase edition, published in conjunction with the exhibition “Love Forever: Yayoi Kusama, 1958-1968” which travelled between Japan and the US in 1999. This edition was available for the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo staging of the exhibition, and has been long out of print. Both volumes here are lavishly illustrated throughout with colour photographs of Yayoi Kusama’s history of work – the first book (“Love Forever: Yayoi Kusama, 1958-1968”) being a catalogue for the exhibition, featuring essays and documentation of the works in the exhibit spanning the years 1958-1968, including her New York happenings, whilst the second book (“In Full Bloom: Yayoi Kusama, Years in Japan”) illuminates many rarely seen works outside of Japan. Accompanied by texts, an interview and an exhibition history, this book is broken into the sections 1945-1959, 1970-1999 and is densely illustrated with colour documentation of her work created in Japan. Together chronicling Kusama’s life of creating work across painting, collage, soft sculpture, performance art, and environmental installations, of which most exhibit her thematic interest in psychedelic colours, repetition, and pattern, this comprehensive and collectable publication illustrates an extremely influential artist’s life of work. Based in conceptual art, Kusama’s work shows attributes of Feminism, Minimalism, Surrealism, Art Brut, Pop Art, Nouvelle Tendence (Op, Kinetic, etc.) and Abstract Expressionism, and is infused with autobiographical, psychological, and sexual content. Kusama is truly uncategorizable, and is celebrated as one of the most important living artists to come out of Japan, and an important voice of the avant-garde.

What is the water temperature like – which suit should I bring?
We’ve got from November to May about 26-27 degrees and from June to October about 28-29 degrees water temperature. We have 3mm shorty in rental, which is absolutely sufficient for most purposes. Which suit you prefer in this temperature, you’ve got to decide by you self as everyone has got a different temperature perception….
What kind of equipment should I bring with?
We’ve got a full stock of rental equipment. Should you have your own equipment, please bring a DIN to INT adapter. We only have “a few” for rental and sometimes not enough. A buoy is also always advisable.
How is the schedule for guided shore dives?
In general, we do two dives in a day, either on the same beach or we change the site for the second dive. We meet in the dive shop at 9:30am, load the cars with all we need for the day and drive to the chosen dive site. After the first dive there is a lunch break in a restaurant (not included), after we’ve done the second dive we pack everything together and heading back to the shop. Then it’s around 5pm.
Do I need a medical statement?
We recommend to everyone, have yourself checked by a doctor before your vacation. It’s for your own safety but it’s not mandatory to bring a medical statement. On our registration form you confirm with your signature that you are healthy and physically fit to dive. If you cannot confirm that, then you have to consult a doctor before we will take you diving.
Do you offer any boat trips?
At the moment we only arrange boat thru another agency to Klein Curacao.
I’m on a cruise, and have a stopover for a day in Curacao and I would like to dive with you. How would the schedule look like?
We pick you up at 9.00am at the pier, drive together to the dive shop for the paper work and to sort out the equipment. After loading the car we’re good to go for two dives with a lunch break in between (Not included). Round about 4-5pm we bring you back to the ship. Which dive sites we’re going to depends on our planning or suggestion on this day.

Those of you who do read my blog will know that I undertook some slight bicycle upgrades in January (Another Cycling One). The main upgrade was my tyre. I invested in a puncture proof tyre as I was sick of the patch and repeat method of commuting to work. A lot of you won’t be in the slightest bit interested in my tyre but, cycling means a lot to me. It helps me clear my head, it saves me paying ridiculous amounts of money to the absolute twonk of a man in the Mayors office but, most of all, my bicycle rarely asks for anything in return. Man or machine, that’s something to cherish.
Anyway, it’s got to the point now where I have ridden about 120 miles on it now and reckon that’s a fair enough amount for me to provide an opinion. I’ll start at the beginning.
Fitting the Tyre
I was a bit worried I wouldn’t be able to fit this tyre myself. I’d read various review which stated the tyre is pretty tricky to get on and off because it’s a tight fit. This didn’t just concern me only from a fitting point of view but also from a roadside puncture aspect. You don’t want a tyre so awkward to get on and/or off that it takes you and age crouched by the side of the road and many swear words before you’re patched and on your way again.
The trickiest bit of fitting the tyre was getting both walls inside the rim. Toward the last few inches of the second wall, it was getting to be a pretty tough job. I’m pleased I has 4 tyre levers and not just 2 as I don’t think there would have been success with only 2 levers. Saying that, I didn’t require cable ties to hold the tyre or a helping house mate. I managed it, solo effort, in about 5 minutes. The thing I found more time consuming was making sure the tyre was properly aligned.
Comparing the task of alignment to my last tyre, the Marathon plus is child’s play. It has a reflective strip and a small rubber ridge which you can use as clear points of reference for proximity to the wheel rim. I ensured the reflective line was the same distance from the wheel rim around the entire circumference of each side. It’s a bit fiddly but it’s completely worth it. If you don’t get your alignment right you feel like you’re riding with a bump in your tyre. If you commute any decent distance this is something that will irritate you immensely. I used to really struggle with tyre alignment of my old tyre (known to sometimes need 3 or 4 tweaks before it rode evenly) but I got the Marathon Plus right first time.
Important Point for First Time Fitters – you may or may not have noticed, but tyres have an arrow on the sides with the word ‘Drive’ next to it. This is the direction the tyre should turn in when you pedal. Make sure you get the tyre on the right way round. I’m sure the tyre engineers spent lots of time figuring out why ‘Drive’ should go the same way as the arrow and it’s be a shame to waste their hard work now wouldn’t it.
How is the Marathon Plus on the road?
I’m about 120 miles in and (touch lots of wood) haven’t had a puncture so I can say that, thus far, the Marathon Plus’ main selling feature is working well. That isn’t the only way it’s changed my ride though.
The Marathon Plus is firm. Really firm. I like to ride at maximum tyre pressure but, for the sake of a thorough review, I took down the pressures for a couple of days last week. I used to ride my old tyre at a lower than max inflation just because I blooming hated it and wanted one aspect of my cycle to be enjoyable (lower PSI will make your ride less ‘bumpy’) so I do have experience of riding at lower inflation. I appreciate you’re going to carry a little extra weight from a puncture proof tyre but up until my ‘low PSI’ experiment, I really hadn’t noticed it. However, knocking down the PSI really did seem to amplify the extra weight of the tyre immensely. For the 3 days I cycled on lower PSI I can honestly say I felt unfit. I didn’t enjoy the rides one bit as I arrived at work looking like I’d been in the shower with my clothes on. It was truly hideous. However, pumping it back up to 85 resulted in the return of what I can only describe as cycling joy.
I could see real issues with this tyre for riders who aren’t of ‘Max PSI’ club or who like to have more comfortable, leisurely rides on evenings/weekends. Having the Marathon plus at less than max inflation really did upset me. It made me alter the way I ride my bicycle in order to still make good time. It wasn’t my style at all. But on Max PSI, it’s everything I want out of a tyre. Smooth, reliable, grips brilliantly (as a drain cover in the rain on Romford Road will testify to) and generally provides excellent pedal effort to propulsion ratios. I don’t feel like I’m leaving most of my effort on the road behind me. It rolls really well.
How tricky was it to fit?
A little tricky. If you have never fitted a tyre on to your bicycle before, maybe have a more experienced friend in the house with you for emergency consultation (my services are available for the princely sum of 1 brew and a decent slice of cake).
Will I be replacing my front tyre with a marathon plus when it bites the dust?
Yes I will, but I’ll only be riding it at max inflation.
Yes, every last penny.
Would I recommend the Marathon Plus?
Yes. I think it would suit almost any cyclist who has puncture issues on their daily rides.
Out of a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being ‘Paper would be a better tyre’ and 5 being ‘Better than sex’) how would I rate the Marathon Plus?
So there you go. That’s my attempt at reviewing my tyre. it’s a bit rubbish but I had a good bash! Happy cycling!!!!!!

Upper St. Clair High School freshman Christian Chiu has been named a winner in the 2017-18 Solo Competition, sponsored by the Pittsburgh Civic Orchestra and the Pennsylvania Music Teachers Association – Greater Pittsburgh Chapter. Christian will perform the first movement of Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in the orchestra’s upcoming concert on Saturday, March 24, 2018.
Christian made his orchestral debut with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra at age 10. He was chosen as a finalist in the MostArts Festival Young Pianists Competition and the Arthur Fraser International Piano Competition/Southeastern Piano Festival.

The 8th season of Game of Thrones launched with fans coming together around the globe, and Spotify has dug into how this has influenced listening trends.
Season 8 of Game Of Thrones is arguably the most awaited season of the entire series. With the impending great war between the army of the dead led by the Night King, and the living, it’s the perfect time to spend the last week of waiting, by streaming some of the best remixes of the legendary theme song of Game Of Thrones, by Ramin Djawadi.
Moga is a culturally authentic experience taking place October 11-13th, 2019 on the Moroccan Atlantic coastline in Essaouira — a locale lauded for its rich history and heritage.
Moga Festival returns to Essaouira on Morocco’s Atlantic coast on October 12th, 13th and 14th 2018 for another tasteful mix of electronic music and culture that features artists from around the world as well as plenty of talented locals.
Another year, another season of Game of Thrones, and yes, another remix of the TV show’s iconic theme. KSHMR & The Golden Army are finally releasing their remix of the Game of Thrones theme and it sounds amazing! Out as a free download this Friday, KSHMR premiered the remix on his ‘Welcome to KSHMR Vol 8’ mix way back in April. The American DJ teamed up with The Golden Army on the track, and ...
One of the biggest performers at Sunburn 2016, KSHMR finally released his teased track, ‘Mandala’, which was the festival anthem for the 10th edition of Sunburn Festival at Pune. Things didn’t stop there for the American DJ, who has Indian roots.

Real-Time Obstacle Detection Approach using Stereoscopic Images
Full Text (PDF, 788KB), PP.42-48
In this paper, we propose a new and simple approach to obstacle and free space detection in an indoor and outdoor environment in real-time using stereo vision as sensor. The real-time obstacle detection algorithm uses two dimensional disparity map to detect obstacles in the scene without constructing the ground plane. The proposed approach combines an accumulating and thresholding techniques to detect and cluster obstacle pixels into objects using a dense disparity map. The results from both analysis modules are combined to provide information of the free space. Experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method in real-time.

â€œIntroduction to the Book of Omni,â€ Book of Mormon Seminary Teacher Manual (2012)
â€œOmni,â€ Book of Mormon Seminary Teacher Manual
Through their study of the book of Omni, students will learn that the Lord protected the righteous Nephites and led them to the land of Zarahemla (see Omni 1:7, 12â€“13). They will also learn about other groupsâ€”the Mulekites (or people of Zarahemla) and the Jareditesâ€”whom the Lord guided to the promised land.
The book of Omni was written by five different men: Omni, Amaron, Chemish, Abinadom, and Amaleki. Omni was the son of Jarom and a great-great-grandson of Lehi and Sariah. He described himself as a â€œwicked manâ€ who had â€œnot kept â€¦ the commandments of the Lordâ€ (Omni 1:2). Amaron (son of Omni), Chemish (brother of Amaron), and Abinadom (son of Chemish) each added small entries. Abinadomâ€™s son Amaleki wrote most of the book of Omni and was the last person to write on the small plates of Nephi. He entrusted the plates to King Benjamin.
Omni stated that he was â€œcommanded by [his] father, Jarom, that [he] should write â€¦ to preserve [their] genealogyâ€ (Omni 1:1). This statement suggests that Omni wrote for the benefit of his descendants. The next three writers in the book of Omni do not address a particular audience or state a purpose for their writing. But Amalekiâ€™s invitation for all people to â€œcome unto Christ â€¦ and partake of his salvationâ€ (Omni 1:26) indicates that he was concerned about the salvation of those who would read his words.
The various authors of the book of Omni wrote sometime between 361 B.C. and 130 B.C. The first four authors wrote in the land of Nephi. Amaleki made his record in the land of Zarahemla.
The book of Omni is the final book of the small plates of Nephi. Omni spans a longer period than any other book in the small plates. In the entire Book of Mormon, only the books of 4 Nephi and Ether cover a longer period of time than that covered by Omni.
The book of Omni also provides details about the reign of the first King Mosiah, who was the father of King Benjamin and grandfather of the second King Mosiah. The first King Mosiah led the righteous Nephites out of the land of Nephi and united them with the people of Zarahemla (see Omni 1:12â€“23). The book of Omni relates that the Lord guided the people of Zarahemla (also known as the Mulekites) from Jerusalem to the land of promise not long after Lehi and his family departed from Jerusalem (see Omni 1:15).
Omni is the first book in the Book of Mormon to mention the Jaredites. It also mentions that some Nephites left Zarahemla to return to the land of Nephi, foreshadowing the events recounted in Mosiah 7â€“24. Finally, the book of Omni introduces King Benjamin and explains why Amaleki entrusted him with the sacred records (see Omni 1:25).
Omni 1:1â€“3 Omni describes periods of peace and war between the Nephites and the Lamanites.
Omni 1:4â€“11 Amaron, Chemish, and Abinadom write on the small plates of Nephi. At this time, the Nephites were in a state of apostasy.
Omni 1:12â€“30 Amaleki records key events that occurred during the reigns of King Mosiah and King Benjamin. He invites all to come unto Christ.


Tiny percentage of money in €50 mill youth work envelope sent to Offaly
Less than 1% of nearly €50 million announced for services or young people around Ireland is going to Laois and Offaly.
Funding of €47,723,693 was announced under the Education and Training Board youth services envelope by the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Roderic O’Gorman.
A table published with the announcement shows that the total funding for Laois and Offaly this year is €427,253 making the two counties sharing the lowest amount of money allocated. There is no allocation under the Youth Information Centre section.
The next lowest amount allocated is €706,988 which is going to Donegal.
The total for Laois and Offaly represents 0.9% of the nearly €50 million cake.
The funding information is confirmed in a statement which announces €66.8 million in funding for youth services nationwide in 2021.
More below tables:
This €66.8m in funding is broken down as follows:
- €41.8 million for UBU Your Place Your Space, including.
- National Youth Organisations get €12 million rise under the Youth Services Grant Scheme.
- Local youth clubs get €2.25 million more.
- Youth Information Centres getting €1.57 million.
- Education and Training Boards (ETBs) gettng €4.6m to support their work and engagement with young people.
- The remaining investment will support ETBI, Leargas, Gaisce – the President’s Award, EU and North/South Initiatives and the LGBTI+ Youth Strategy.
“I am pleased to announce the funding allocation for youth services for 2021. The increase of €5m, or 8%, which represents a notably larger sum than has been allocated in recent years, provides an opportunity to expand on the innovation and achievements of the sector in 2020.
“In this last dramatic year, I have been very impressed by the passion and determination at every level of the youth sector in responding to a wide range of challenges, not least of which is supporting our young people at the time of a global pandemic. I have also been impressed at the ability of the sector to harness innovation to the benefit of all young people and it is my hope that I can support this in the period ahead.
“I am committed to further progress in our youth funding and policy space over 2021. My Department will oversee the establishment of additional services in UBU Your Place Your Space and drive forward reform across both Youth Information Centres and the Youth Services Grant Scheme in a spirit of collaboration and partnership.
“I have enormous respect for the transformative effect that comes from quality youth work with young people. I think recent history has shown what we have been saying from some time, funding for youth services changes lives, makes economic sense, and promotes equity, inclusion and social cohesion.”

What Folks are Saying about Smiley’s
Among the many Google Reviews, Local Guide J Smith looks forward to eating at Smiley’s Smokin’ BBQ for years to come:
This place is great. (Currently sitting here and catching my breath between plates… lol)
I received a Military discount. I spent $10 for a very full stomach with fantastic food.
The owner, manager, and wait staff have all asked me if everything is ok with my food. Again, the food is great.
Ribs are very tasty and tender. The coleslaw is lovely too.
Plenty of variety for everyone. They even have lettuce for the vegans.. 😉
The server, even though it’s not very busy here, is staying busy sweeping, wiping down, refilling drinks, and being a great employee.
This building has had many restaurants in it over the years. I hope this one prospers and sticks around.
Over on Yelp, nearby local Richard C was lured in by the delicious smell of real country cookin’:
Looking for a food place to have a cheat meal in my quest to become physically fit I stumbled along this place. Just a few minutes and a country mile away from the crib and you are engulfed with some smells of some southern cooking.
I was welcomed the traditional southern way, with smiles and greetings enough to make any Yankee nervous. Lol
I quickly met Andrea the waitress who just recently arrived from Charlotte and moved to Elgin. She help with the opening almost 3 months ago and once you talk to her you get a sense of why she was hired.
Andrea is focused on her customers. She quickly gave me a lesson on all the ice tea one could order.
There is an Arnold Palmer, and Elgin Martini. I am missing one more however I stuck to the traditional sweet tea with a splash of lemon.
The establishment is cozy and they have country music playing in the background. Brought me back to my soldier day in combat where I often thought of those days of America.
These guys bring Americana right there in this place.
The ribs are awesome along with the banana pudding. I left outta there with my fourth cup of Iced Tea.
Stop in if you’re in town and give this place a try.
In a Facebook review, Dustin Tate shared his experience:
“The food was great, and the atmosphere was exactly what you would want in a country town barbecue buffet restaurant.
“We ate lunch yesterday afternoon and were so impressed, that we ordered two pounds of barbecue to go for sandwiches at home for dinner.
“Definitely a great addition to Elgin and the Kershaw County area.
“Give Smiley’s a try, and I promise you’ll be back again before you know it!”
Smiley’s Smokin’ BBQ accepts both cash and cards.
