The Tennessee Theatre unveiled next year’s season of Broadway musical offerings on Monday with a preview and reception on the stage of the historic venue. More than 200 people attended to nosh on appetizers, enjoy a beverage and hear two short excerpts from upcoming shows.
The season is diverse and exciting with productions that will appeal to audiences of all ages. There are classics like “Fiddler on the Roof” and “Cats” and more recent hits including “A Bronx Tale” and “Waitress.”
Others on tap include “Miss Saigon,” and “Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”
Season subscribers also may add on productions of “The Color Purple” and “Blue Man Group On Tour.”
Becky Hancock, executive director of the Tennessee Theatre, described the appeal of the upcoming season. “One of the titles, ‘Waitress,’ is still running on Broadway, which is unusual for our seasons. Three of the titles — ‘Waitress,’ ‘A Bronx Tale,’ and ‘Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ — have never played in Knoxville. And a fourth, ‘Miss Saigon,’ has never played at the Tennessee. The remaining titles are returning after many years due to popular demand.”
Ever wondered just how the folks in charge select the plays for each season? We asked Hancock. Here’s what she said. “Booking Broadway is a complex process involving several members of the theater’s staff, along with the booking team at AC Entertainment. We must consider factors such as which shows are currently touring, date availability — theirs and ours — technical requirements, diversity in show content and financial investment.
“Booking a Broadway season has been described to me a ‘ a cross between the New York Stock Exchange and air traffic control.’ Many moving parts have to align for a production to be confirmed at the Tennessee,” she said.
Hancock said the staff starts at least 18 months in advance to line up shows. Currently, the theater is holding dates for potential productions as far away as 2022.
To purchase season tickets, call the box office at (865) 684-1200 (ext. 2). Or, go to the box office, which is located at 224 Clinch Ave., in downtown Knoxville. Box office hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tickets to individual shows will go on sale at a later date.
“A wonderful cast and a lavish orchestra tell this heart-warming story of fathers and daughters, husbands and wives, and the timeless traditions that define faith and family,” Hancock said in announcing it.
It is the epic story of a young Vietnamese woman named Kim who meets an American G.I. in a bar run by a notorious character called “The Engineer” just before the fall of Saigon. That encounter will change their lives forever. (And, there’s a helicopter involved, providing interesting staging challenges!)
It tells the story of Jenna, an expert pie maker who dreams of a way out of her small town. A baking contest and the town’s new doctor may offer her a fresh start. According to Hancock, it is an uplifting celebration of friendship, motherhood and the magic of a well-made pie! (Saw it on Broadway. It’s great.)
It is based on the story of the life of actor Chazz Palminteri, raised on the stoops of the Bronx in the 1960s, who is torn between the father he loves and the mob boss he’d love to be. “It’s going to be your favorite show of the season,” Hancock promised from the podium.
“Cats” features one of the most beloved Broadway songs of all time: “Memory.” I’ve seen it on Broadway and in Knoxville — and I’m going to see it again!
But, we’re not finished yet! There are two optional add-ons currently available only to season ticket holders. These tickets also will be opened up to everyone later in the year.
I love the way the Tennessee Theatre announces the Broadway series. They could just mail a brochure and be done with it. But they make it fun by having a cocktail party with brief appearances by Broadway stars. The season ticket holders get excited and that excitement rubs off. It just really enhances the whole experience. Bravo!
I can’t wait for Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory!!!!
Sara: Agree! Although, I’m kind of excited about the whole season!
Thanks for giving some love to the band, Cynthia! 🙂
Vance: You all added so much to the evening. A guy beside me was amazed at your rendition of “Someday My Prince Will Come!” I’ve heard you do it before and love it, of course. But this guy was just astounded by the jazz treatment!

Easterseals Arc of Northeast Indiana began administering COVID-19 vaccinations to individuals receiving the agency’s services today.
The vaccination clinic at the agency’s Coldwater Road headquarters is a pilot program for a state initiative to improve access to the vaccine for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. These individuals are in a high-risk group for getting COVID-19 and often have medical conditions that increase the risk of complications from the virus.
Individuals in Easterseals Arc’s group homes and supported living program were given information on the vaccine in written and video form, and they or their guardians were asked to submit consent forms indicating whether they want to receive the vaccine.
“After spending so many months reacting to the spread of COVID-19, offering these vaccines to our consumers finally gives us hope and the ability to do something proactive to help people stay healthy,” said Donna Elbrecht, Easterseals Arc president and CEO.
Easterseals Arc will start out administering 10 vaccines a day, then increase as operations are perfected. The agency has nurses on staff and has contracted additional nurses and nursing students to assist with the process.
“We’re modeling our procedure on other vaccine sites in the way individuals proceed from check-in to receiving the shot to a waiting area afterward,” said Thomas Summerville, Easterseals Arc chief operations officer. “The advantage of offering the vaccine at our facility is that it’s a familiar environment with familiar staff for our consumers who may have fear or anxiety about going to a hospital or other location.”
Easterseals Arc staff will continue to get their vaccines at local hospitals and vaccination clinics, although the agency may expand its on-site vaccine clinic in the future based on vaccine supply and how many consumers sign up.

Rugby Union: East London have tons of fun against Lowestoft
PUBLISHED: 10:00 30 January 2017
A scintillating display of running rugby saw East London clock up 16 tries and 100 points against Lowestoft & Yarmouth to keep them in touch at the top of London Three North East.
It was a dominant one-sided display against visitors who turned up without many first team regulars, but who showed spirit to keep fighting throughout the whole 80 minutes.
There were hat-tricks from right wing Sean Curd and outside centre Andrew Little, but seven other players also chipped in with tries.
Second row Matt Lucas opened the scoring on five minutes and ended the rout at the final whistle to bring up the century of points.
Curd scored his first on six minutes and again on 23 and 40 minutes; inside centre Jono George scored on 11 minutes; and hooker Sam Ames-Reddin on 19 and 62 minutes.
Scrum-half Alex Mylchreest ran in on 21 minutes and Little went over for his first on 34 minutes and again on 55 and 67 minutes.
Fly-half Alan Ferguson scored on 36 and 75 minutes; left wing Will Brown on 50 minutes; and full back Daryl O’Brien completed the set for the back line on 64 minutes.
Ferguson kicked nine conversions with one for George.
Coach Gary Pearmain said: “While this was an under-strength Lowestoft side, we still had to work hard to put the points on the board.
“It was a solid performance across the whole team. With so many first team players missing Lowestoft could easily have pulled out, but they were prepared to give us a game so they deserve credit for that.”
East London sit fourth in London Three North East with 43 points from 12 games, two points behind third-placed Southwold with a game in hand and seven points behind Wanstead and Harlow who have still to visit the Memorial Ground in West Ham.
East London: O’Brien; Curd, Little, George, Brown; Ferguson, Mylchreest; Pearmain, Ames-Reddin, Samuel; Lucas, Kelly; Yiannakou, Brown, Parrott.
Replacements: Corbett, Hillyer-Riley, Billinghurst.
• In other matches on Saturday, East London’s second team, the Wyverns, won 36-19 away at Rochford seconds in Shepherd Neame Essex Merit Table Division One; while the third team lost 31-10 at home to Westcliff 4s Merit Table Division Five. East London women lost 19-17 at Lakenham Hewett in the National Challenge South East North One.

Re: A false argument
"If we do leave (in my view, we should stay), what is to prevent those workers from still working in the UK? Nothing from the EU side of things."
It's pretty clear that for most people wanting to leave, immigration is the key factor.
If the exit campaign's stance is that we'll still allow free movement of people after an exit it rather suggests that they are conning people.
If exit means "still have to pay, no longer have a say", the Norway model if you like, it looks pretty daft.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has begun to simmer on the GOP's message of "repeal and replace" on the new federal health care law, saying it is improbable the entire reform can be rescinded.
McConnell spoke Friday at a gathering of supporters in Louisville, Ky., confident of Republicans' chances for gains in November but skeptical of the party's ability to roll back the new reform mandates with President Barack Obama still in office.
“Will that make full repeal possible? It might not,” McConnell said of electoral gains, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal. “But this [legislation] is very complex; it’s got a lot of moving parts, many of them have not yet kicked in, won’t kick in for several years. And so the goal would be to repeal it and replace it with something more modest directed at the cost problem, which is what I think most of this whole debate was about in the beginning.”
McConnell's concession that a full repeal might not be possible comes on the same day that Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) backtracked on comments he made earlier this week that repeal "was not going to happen" in an interview with The Weekly Standard in which he said he really meant full repeal was improbable in this election cycle.

Yesterday, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF) and counsel Janey Lanier filed an amicus brief in the Michigan Supreme Court in support of Keyon Harrison and Denishio Johnson, two Black teenagers who, on separate occasions, were stopped, interrogated, searched, photographed, and fingerprinted by the Grand Rapids Police Department even though neither teen committed any offense. The case challenges the Grand Rapids Police Department’s official policy of taking photographs and collecting fingerprints of people who are stopped and lack identification, even if they are never charged with a crime, and then storing their information for future use is unconstitutional. The Department’s long-standing policy has been disproportionally used in interactions and field interrogations with the City’s Black residents.
LDF’s brief notes that discretionary policies, like the Grand Rapids Police Department’s photograph-and-print policy, that afford law enforcement officers unfettered enforcement power typically resulting in disparate encroachments on Black people’s Fourth Amendment rights. Beyond the grave constitutional harms to individual citizens are serious and systemic harms to society, including the undermining of community trust in law enforcement, the denial of full citizenship to Black people, and the erosion of public confidence in the rule of the law.
“Across the country, law enforcement routinely encroaches on the constitutional rights of Black communities and subjects these communities, and other communities of color, to racially disparate policing that anticipates their future criminality,” said LDF’s John Payton Appellate and Supreme Court Advocacy Fellow Mahogane Reed. “The harms that discriminatory policing has on communities of color is once again illustrated in Grand Rapids, where officers routinely stop, interrogate, and collect information on Black people who did nothing wrong. It is critical for the Court to forcefully prohibit this unconstitutional and disparately applied police practice.”
Founded in 1940, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF) is the nation’s first civil and human rights law organization. LDF has been completely separate from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) since 1957—although LDF was originally founded by the NAACP and shares its commitment to equal rights. LDF’s Thurgood Marshall Institute is a multi-disciplinary and collaborative hub within LDF that launches targeted campaigns and undertakes innovative research to shape the civil rights narrative.

As the clock ticks toward a decision by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality on whether to take its leader's advice and force about 400 square miles of Dallam County into a water district, a district has allowed some landowners to join voluntarily.
The North Plains Groundwater Conservation District granted several petitions last week to add 868 acres, or 1.5 square miles of rural land, and 54 lots in Texline.
"I don't think we've ever turned anybody down," said Steve Walthour, general manager of the district. "In the past two years, we've added between 18,000 and 19,000 acres."
But some landowners aren't likely to go voluntarily.
"We have a kind of independent mindset and think we do a good job conserving," said Will Allen, a landowner who farms in the area outside the district.
"By our nature, we're going to conserve our resources."
He and water consultant Sabrina Leven share maps from the Center for Geospatial Technology at Texas Tech University they said highlight the problem. The greatest decline of the water level in the Ogallala Aquifer and the shortest estimated life of the aquifer mirror areas where aerial photos show irrigated parcels of land jammed next to each other for miles around. That's also land inside the district.
The district, which runs from Dallam and Hartley counties eastward to Ochiltree and Lipscomb counties, has been working for years to develop ways to make the aquifer last longer, balancing water conservation with its economic impact on an area that largely relies on irrigated farming and dairies for income.
Recent efforts have included requiring producers to measure with meters or by other means the water coming out of their wells to determine if they meet production limits.
At Tuesday's meeting, the district's board and staff discussed possible concepts that might provide direction in rewriting rules for better regulation, Walthour said.
But the annexation process continues with the environmental commission possibly meeting in July to consider approving its executive director's recommendation to move ahead with adding the land to North Plains.
"But because the executive director is recommending that doesn't mean that's what they'll do," Walthour said.
If the agency agrees to enforce the recently passed state law requiring the addition of the land to the district by Sept. 1, the district's board will vote on whether to accept the land.
If it votes to do that, it would hold an election to find out if the landowners want to pay for district services through property taxes or water production fees.
Leven said she feared unintended consequences of the annexation, such as accelerated drilling and pumping.
"I'm afraid people who don't want to pay the (district's) taxes will sell, and big developers will come in and punch holes (wells) according to the rules," she said.
"We need to slow it down a little bit."
She is also concerned some farmers will start drilling more wells than the district allows between now and September before they fall under district rules.
Landowners have never appeared eager for what now may be inevitable.
They last voted on the issue in November 2010, and the result was 123 against joining the district and 35 for.
Allen feels like the landowners have run out of options.
"We're basically in the position where we sit here and wait," he said.

YOUR INDOOR INSIDER
Story updated 4:12:04 PM 02/21/2018
Teams fold all the time, that’s the sad reality of arena/indoor football. Each time a team folds it has a corrosive effect on the rest of the league and, by extension, the sport. This past season well known, long-standing teams like the Spokane Shock, Colorado Crush, Wichita Falls Nighthawks, Monterrey Steel, Tampa Bay Storm and many others turned off the lights and shut their doors leaving fans with nothing but questions and skepticism. One owner recently told AF Insider that it’s difficult to go back into a market once a team, or multiple teams, have permanently decamped. While the Storm, the 2017 Arena Bowl runner-up, and the last original AFL team raised eyebrows when they went dark, other than the IFL/CIF shootout this winter, it is the Vermont Bucks who’ve made fans shake their heads and wonder what the heck is going in with arena football.
Last year the Bucks were the best team in the Can-Am Indoor Football League. They ran away with the league and easily won the championship. After the season ended the league announced it was merging with the Arena Pro Football League and the Supreme Indoor Football League to form the new American Arena League. The AAL would consist of 13 teams playing a 9 game league schedule. Teams were free to add some out of league games to generate extra revenue and in at least one case bring the perceived rivalry to the field. Everything seemed to be full steam ahead for Vermont. Their 2018 arena contract though still unsigned, was just a formality requiring a signature. They had a few sponsors and were working to bring in more, and they were selling season tickets. Understandably, the 2017 team didn’t have enough sponsors and fans to be profitable, but that is the way of most new small businesses across most industries.
At the very end of December 2017, Bucks owner, and NASCAR driver Tim Viens, decided to sell the team. As a high ranking executive in the AAL and the owner of the Atlanta Havoc, he decided the time was right to shift his focus southward, closer to his home. Viens lives in South Florida and Burlington, Vermont is a long way from home. Kyle Jennings and Thomas Sturgis had formed a group and offered to buy the team. The contract was written up and signed by Viens, Jennings, and Sturgis and the pair took over operations. Here’s where things started to fall apart. In order to qualify for the purchase, the pair had to show they had enough money to back up their signatures. According to AAL President Jack Bowman, and Tim Viens they showed a letter from their bank with at least $78,000 in their business account. The AAL plan is to give teams a chance to succeed by keeping expenses low. With most AAL teams budget's clocking in at under $300k per season, $78k seemed like an ample amount of money to keep the franchise moving forward. However, before the end of January 2018, less than a month after taking over operations, the team informed the AAL they would not be playing in 2018. With schedules already made, the league had to scramble to find a replacement. Tim Freeman the owner of the Peach State Cats had attempted to enter the league earlier in the year and now found himself with an invitation to the party and he RSVP’d in the affirmative. But what happened in Vermont? Why did the new owners buy the team and then fold it within a month?
What ensued has proven to be a scrum of he said/she said accusations and acrimony. AF Insider learned the AAL had not yet approved Jennings and Sturgis as league owners. AAL execs Jack Bowman and Tony Zefiretto told AF Insider the owners had difficulties completing the league questionnaire. When asked to elaborate, they both declined. The questionnaires reveal potential owners private information, including certain pieces of their finances. Both Bowman and Zefiretto felt it was necessary to keep this information confidential. When asked if it was likely the new Vermont group would be approved they both said no decision had been reached either way because the process was incomplete at the time of the sale. Someone with knowledge of the process, speaking on condition of anonymity said it was unlikely Sturgis and Jennings would gain approval. If true, the new owners would not be invited to join the league, wouldn’t that invalidate the sale? The answer to that, it turns out, is a bit tricky and is one of the things in apparent dispute.
As the owner of the Vermont Bucks, Viens had the legal right to sell the LLC to anyone he wanted at any time. The sale of the team is not, at least as reported, tied to league affiliation. Under Viens, the Bucks were legally affiliated to the AAL, but it seems that particular agreement didn’t transfer with the team. The Bucks new owners likely believed it did when they bought the team, but when they found out it didn’t, and their approval by the league was in doubt, it most likely helped push them towards dissolution. If there was a lease agreement and operating funds in place, why would a team not get league approval? The answer lies in the difficulties the new Bucks owners had completing the questionnaire. Without the league, or the Bucks willing to speakon the record, those answers will take time to come out.
What we’re left with is speculation. Obviously, $78,000 isn’t enough to run the team for an entire season so how were the new owners planning to do it. The likely answer is they were planning on using the Bucks income stream to cover operating expenses. Viens had sponsors and ticket sales in place so there should have been some money available to the new owners. The question is how much money was there and what happened to it after the sale was completed? So far, 2018 season ticket holders have not received refunds and no corporate sponsor we spoke to had either. One of the sponsor’s said they were awaiting a return call which never came and eventually found out through social media the team had ceased operations. Since the Vermont group had not finished the vetting process, the league has no information about how much money there was or where it went.
To be clear, AF Insider in not taking sides in this matter. We have no hard information about how much sponsorship and ticket sales money there might have been, or who currently has it. We do know the contract between Viens and the Jennings/Sturgis group was legal and completed. Jennings own facebook entries represented himself as the owner of the Bucks and, up until they folded the team, they seemed to have been acting in good faith. Viens has a signed contract handing the team over to the new group and, unless he has through some purposeful, provable action, knowingly acted in bad faith the team belongs to Jennings and Sturgis. Viens indicated, on the record, that the arena lease was a lock and accepted by the league, and the team had low or no debt load. If that’s true then it will take lawyers to sort things out.
One thing which is certain is the Bucks are not playing this season and it’s extremely unlikely they will ever play again. It’s too bad because there is a trail of disappointed fans who are now left without their team and little hope of getting a new one anytime soon.
AF Insider reached out to Mr. Jennings for this story and after a tentative initial agreement to speak on the record, he informed us he had changed his mind and would not make any comments.
Look what the Richmond Roughriders left laying around!
During the 2017 season the Richmond Roughriders realized their playing field needed upgrading. With a new season, in new league, quickly approaching, they decided to see what was available on the used market and learned the LA KISS field was available. The KISS folded after the the 2016 AFL season and the Roughriders decided to bring in their old field and rebrand it with their logo and sponsors. The KISS logo on the 25 yard line as well as in the endzones will be covered with the Roughriders logo and there's a rumor the goal lines might be Riders Neon Green!

Province and Bands at Odds Over Smoking Ban
Friday, May 14, 2004 at 14:41
The chief of the Prince Albert Grand Council is speaking out about the provincial government’s decision to impose anti-smoking legislation in the province.
The law will ban smoking in all indoor public places in the province by January 1st, 2005.
Gary Merasty says he supports the move to ban smoking in public areas, but disagrees with Justice Minister Frank Quenell’s recent statement that the bylaw would be applicable on reserves.
Merasty admits it would be relatively easy for the government to enforce the bylaw on urban reserves in centres like Prince Albert, but doesn’t see how it could be enforced in isolated northern communities.

Due to the vaccine’s rare but fatal side effect of blood clotting, the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention has advised Americans to opt for either Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, rather than Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose shot.
This recommendation was decided following a unanimous vote by the health body’s Advisory Committee on Immunization. They added that the vaccine was also less effective at preventing Covid19 compared to the two other jabs.
According to the CDC, 16 million people received J&J’s vaccine out of 200 million fully vaccinated people in the country.
In a statement, the single-dose vaccine manufacturer said that they are prioritizing people’s safety and well-being and that they are willing to collaborate with the CDC moving forward.
Previously, adverse side effects of thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) have been reported in those who received J&J vaccines. In this scenario, blood clots together with low platelet count is life-threatening. It was reported to have occurred mostly in women under 50 years old.
So far, the CDC has detected over 50 cases of TTS in the US. Nine people have died after blood clotting incidents.

Food promotions have grown more important during happy hour. 41% of guests seek bars craving great food and 57% are encouraged by discounted appetizers.1
Limited time offers (LTOs) are a great way to test out a new menu item and bring in new customers to your business. 59% of consumers say they visited a restaurant they don’t usually go to, just to try a LTO3. Fries are one of the most profitable items on your menu (Source – let me know if you can’t find it), so you can offer a discounted price and still turn over a profit!
With fries increasing as an appetizer4 and 83% of guests interested in larger shareable fry dishes5, fries are a great platform to try something different, like a topped and loaded shareable!
For example, fries loaded with pulled pork, cheddar cheese and BBQ sauce. Or tots tossed in truffle oil, herbs and topped with melted cheese.
37% of guests seek out restaurant deals and promotions more often now than two years ago6. So, give your guests something new to share during their social hour and keep them coming back for more!

Maureen Esisi the ex-wife of Nollywood actor Blossom Chukwujekwu has taken to social media to mercilessly drag judgemental people and those who are quick to have an opinion about the lives of others. The fashion designer took to her Insta story to share this noting that if God came down today no one will make heaven.
She shared that everyone always has an opinion on how others should live their life and act. The influencer said many believe when they see something bad they must talk but asked them to shut their mouth because they themselves have not been perfect or of their best behaviour in the last 24hrs. Maureen Esisi asked people to remove the log in their eyes before attempting to do the same for others because no one made them God.

Come on - a chief petty officer with YEARS of experience is going to defer to a MIDSHIPMAN!??! It doesn't matter who his daddy is, he's a college kid! Then he earned his dolphins in a month or so before he's even in the Navy? Who determined that? - dolphins are not given out like Halloween candy! And finally, he is qualified to bring a sub in to port with no previous experience. Wow!
You begin to develop a potential marital issue with the wife, where she is at least questioning her relationship while cozying up to the botanist. The next thing we see is she back in hubby's arms - no explanation, nothing. I'm presuming you met your deadline at the cost of not finishing the story.
How dad "happens" to be the one the son speaks to once communication is restored is incredible. Another sub, a destroyer, helicopters, planes are on station, but daddy is who he speaks to? Come on.
I liked the first in the series, and have the remaining ones on hand. I doubt I'll bother with them; I hate wasting all that time reading just to end up with such a pitiful finale. From the first in the series I expected so much better than this!

It was revealed on Friday that Carrie Fisher had a number of drugs in her system at the time she passed away.
Many on the internet seem split as to whether or not it is relevant information, some even going so far as to say it is private information that the public doesn’t need to know.
So apparently Carrie Fisher's autopsy showed high levels of NONE OF OUR DAMN BUSINESS.— Annalee (@leeflower) June 19, 2017
EXCUSE ME, and I can't believe I have to remind people of this, but Carrie Fisher drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own bra— Mere Smith (@EvilGalProds) June 19, 2017
But her daughter, Billie Lourd, has a bit of a different take on it. She released a beautiful statement to PEOPLE, explaining why we should openly talk about her mother’s death.
“My mom battled drug addiction and mental illness her entire life. She ultimately died of it. She was purposefully open in all of her work about the social stigmas surrounding these diseases.
She talked about the shame that torments people and their families confronted by these diseases. I know my Mom, she’d want her death to encourage people to be open about their struggles. Seek help, fight for government funding for mental health programs. Shame and those social stigmas are the enemies of progress to solutions and ultimately a cure. Love you Momby.”
Regardless whether you agree with the decision to make the news public or not, we can all agree she was an incredible woman.

Homeowners have been aware of the many benefits of granite countertops for a number of years. Next to sapphires, rubies, and diamonds, granite is the hardest substance on the planet, making it an ideal food preparation surface for a variety of reasons. As a nonporous material, granite doesn’t harbor bacteria or viruses, making it one of the cleanest countertop options for both kitchens and bathrooms. Granite countertops also come in a large variety of colors to complement and contrast with any home decorating palette. Following are some of the most popular colors of granite countertops in Colorado Springs this year.
Light, Bright White and Silvers
One of this year’s biggest trends in countertop colors is bright hues such as white and silvers. White and silver granite comes flecked in a variety of colors, including rose, blue, green, gray and black and works extremely well with current trends toward incorporating optimal amounts of natural light into interior living spaces. White and silver countertops offer optimal shimmer and shine, and are ideal for those with small kitchens who want to make them appear larger.
Many modern homeowners are gravitating toward beige granite countertops this year because they provide the bright look of white and silver countertops along with a warm, rustic glow. Beige also provide increased decorating options because it pairs with a huge variety of interior color schemes. White is pristine and lovely, but some homeowners prefer to use various shades of beige in order to have more decor color options and to create a warmer ambiance. Like white granite, beige granite is available with multicolored fleck in the surface of the materials.
Shades of blue are also popular for countertops this year –everything from sky blue through navy. Lighter blues provide an airy, casual look, while dark blues offer a solid, luxurious appeal.

The transfer of aquatic organisms and micro-organisms from their native habits to non-native ones via ships’ hulls is a problem costing the industry up to USD 30 billion each year. A new ship-scrubbing semi-autonomous robot is helping owners and operators to deal with this issue to cut unnecessary fuel consumption and prevent ecological disruption.
Known as biofouling, the issue is one caused by organisms such as plants, animals and micro-organisms latching onto submerged structures and surfaces, including ships’ hulls and being transported many miles across the ocean. Wherever they decide to leave the ship, the area may be, ecologically speaking, completely different to their native environments, which disrupts the natural balance of the ecosystem they have just inhabited. DNV GL’s principal consultant Sarath Raj says he sees, “Increased attention from port authorities who are threatened by risk of invasive aquatic species. Ships can be stopped outside ports and told they have a dirty hull and they need to clean the hull before they can enter. That can be an extremely expensive process.”
What’s more is that biofouling creates an additional layer of resistance across the ship’s surface, increasing a vessel’s fuel consumption and exacerbating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The problems of biofouling today include a 20-30 per cent inefficiency in fuel consumption in shipping, according to Geir Fagerheim, SVP marine operations, Wallenius Wilhelmsen.
Shipowners and operators are under increasing pressure to ensure smooth and resistance-free ship hulls to mitigate the issues of biofouling, but often this is done either in dry-dock, which increases ship downtime, or during port visits.
Robots to rethink hull performance
For the last four years, Norwegian coatings and paint manufacturer Jotun has been quietly working in collaboration with other maritime players to develop a new innovative solution that will address the issues described above.
The solution, which was announced last week during a launch event in Oslo, is called Jotun HullSkating Solutions (HSS) and covers a range of services including:
- Inspection and cleaning via Jotun’s semi-autonomous robot, HullSkater.
- Technical services.
- Proactive condition monitoring.
- Performance and service level guarantees.
According to Jotun, HSS will deliver individual proactive condition monitoring services tailored for each vessel, using a proprietary algorithm and big data to accurately predict fouling development and cleaning schedules.
One of the key offerings as part of Jotun’s HullSkating Solutions package is the semi-autonomous robotic technology that sits permanently onboard a vessel, ready to be deployed for hull cleaning at any given time. This technology is known as HullSkater and was developed in collaboration with Kongsberg.
HullSkater is a piece of technology that operates underwater, in all sorts of harsh and challenging environments, cleaning the surface of the vessel with specially designed motorised brushes that prevent hull surface and paint damage. The HullSkater removes individual bacteria and biofilm before macro-fouling takes hold.
HullSkater features magnetic wheels, the force of which allows the technology to stay attached to the vessel. Each wheel is equipped with electric motors for propulsion and steering and the vehicle is fitted with four digital cameras and sensors to generate high quality film and images that are immediately available to the user. The vehicle also has a self-powered built in drive line to ensure high speed manoeuvring.
The vehicle is connected to the operator’s control centre through an umbilical and can be operated remotely for vessels anywhere in the world with 4G coverage. Inspection and cleaning of the hull will normally take around 2 to 8 hours, depending on size and condition.
As the technology remains onboard the vessel, shipowners and operators can benefit from unlimited idle days, reducing time allocated to hull cleaning which in turn saves costs, improves the ship’s environmental footprint, and increases operational flexibility.
Arne Rinnan, EVP sensors and robotics, Kongsberg says that one of the driving forces behind the innovation was to simplify some of shipping’s complex operations. “We wanted to make complexities simple. It’s just another way of looking at integration,” he explains. “It needs to be reliable and simple for day to day operation.
“We have a series of sensors, which is crucial to get it (HullSkater) to operate in a reliable way. We also are using battery technology and connectivity solutions in the HullSkater, combining the sensors with technology like machine learning.”
Collaboration is the name of the game
To develop the semi-autonomous solution, Jotun consulted a range of companies to join as partners. Geir Axel Oftedahl, business development director at Jotun explains how the paint company collaborated to develop a technology outside their typical range of products.
“Back in 2011 we had some ideas and were opening our minds for future innovations, but we didn’t know about robotics. So, we approached subsea robotics leader Kongsberg, and asked for their advice and if we were crazy to move in this direction.” Fortunately for Jotun, the companies agreed that it was an interesting initiative to pursue.
Jotun’s president and CEO, Morten Fon is grateful to Kongsberg’s president and CEO Geir Haoy for bringing, “knowledge and competence to the table that we do not have.”
Another partner is Wallenius Wilhelmsen, which has been operating with HullSkater for two years. Geir Fagerheim, SVP marine operations at Wallenius admits that initially they were, “slightly sceptical about a paint company coming to us with an advanced technical solution. Could they really make this work in the harshest environments across the world and be remotely operated?”
However, Fagerheim confirms that it has been a success so far for the shipping company. “We see it as a potential game-changer with the way we manage biofouling today. It is a self-sufficient solution so there is no need for interference or action from the office to make this happen. It has helped us to stop overconsumption of fuel and keep emissions down.”
Hans peter Havdal, general manager Norway, Semcon, another one of the partners in the project believes that biofouling is a hardship that has become more and more important. He is a strong believer of partnerships and collaboration to combat such issues and cites it as one of the reasons Semcon decided to join the project. “We need to work together. We need to bring in different companies together and work as a team with different expertise is new way of working to be faster and cost efficient.”
Classification society DNV GL was also involved in the project. Per Marius Berrefjord, SVP strategy and business development at DNV GL says they saw it as an interesting technology to help combat multiple issues shipping is faced with today. “If you look at the bigger picture, shipping needs to reduce GHG emissions and it needs to do it very fast, maybe 2-3x faster than has been the normal way of going.
“We are serious at DNV GL to support activities that can contribute to that. To make it happen we need to work on logistics, the technical management of ships, the technologies to save fuel, especially with the introduction of new fuel types. If you put HullSkater into this picture you can see it is combining new technologies and solutions, can contribute to saving fuel, and is available for newbuilds and retrofits so it can be integrated fast and make an immediate impact.”
For Jotun’s Morten Fon, this project demonstrates the success of collaboration. “We see lots of collaboration across industries and I believe that’s the name of the game for the future. Each company doesn’t have the competencies and knowledge within all areas so we need to find other companies that we can collaborate with to develop these solutions further.”
Arne Rinnan, EVP sensors and robotics at Kongsberg says that this project has the capabilities and capacities to scale to market introduction and support services. “The focus now is to bring this to market with Jotun and make it a success.”
 According to the Clean Shipping Coalition.

How has diversity changed and evolved in South Florida?
- Andrea G. Rollin
Over the past several years, diversity in the workplace has changed and evolved – sometimes naturally, sometimes not – in significant ways.
Human resources executives at some of South Florida’s top Fortune 500 companies discussed the trends that they’re seeing in terms of change – and the activities used to bring these changes about.
A shift in leadership positions
Boca Raton-based Office Depot has seen changes in the diversity of leadership positions and decision-maker positions in corporate America shifting to acknowledge the changes in population demographics.
“Office Depot has continually recruited a workforce that is reflective of the rich diversity of the communities in which we do business,” said Gwyneth Bonasoro, director of talent management.
Although diversity evolves naturally in certain areas, there still needs to be a strategy built around how the company can anticipate the needs of its associates as demographics and life choices change with the times, she added. “We embrace new ideas and perspectives, and respect individual differences.”
To recruit diverse associates, Office Depot’s talent acquisition team attends a variety of diverse events throughout the year, including the Out & Equal Workplace Summit and the National Women’s Career Expo.
Diversity is an important dimension of inclusion, innovation and customer focus – three of Office Depot’s core values – and underpins its success in a global marketplace, Bonasoro said. “We fulfill these commitments by providing a work environment based on honesty and mutual respect, and by ensuring that all people-related decisions are made objectively, based solely on merit.”
From managing to leveraging diversity
At Ryder System in Miami, the primary change in diversity is how it’s viewed and addressed.
“Leading organizations have evolved from ‘managing diversity’ to ‘leveraging diversity,’” said Rueben Stokes, group director of diversity and inclusion.
He said companies that manage diversity view it primarily as a race- and gender-focused people problem that needs to be solved. On the other hand, leading companies leverage diversity and embrace it as a key corporate strategy that contributes to innovation and growth.
“The broader definition (of what diversity means), which goes well beyond race and gender to include several other dimensions – age/generation, national origin, sexual orientation, veteran status and physical abilities – has now expanded even further to include diversity of thought and of experience,” he said. “However, companies that want to be successful and leverage the competitive advantages of having a diverse workplace cannot assume that, over time, they will naturally become more diverse at all levels.”
At mid- and senior levels, companies must actively commit to creating cultures that are receptive to and value different kinds of people and new ways of doing business, Stokes said, which includes “valuing creativity and innovation, identification and development of high-potential diverse employees, enabling collaboration across functions, mentoring programs and external diverse hiring.”
Youth, women add to diversity mix
“Today, we see more women and young people coming into auto retail,” said Julie Staub, VP of human resources with AutoNation in Fort Lauderdale. “Over the last five years, the economy and job market have been very tough; people look at auto retail in a new way and as a new career opportunity.”
The process of buying a car has changed and, with that, so has the type of individual that the company recruits, she said.
“Today, we’re working with the Huizenga School of Business at Nova Southeastern University on career development with auto retail, and have found both women and young people especially interested.”
Women have always been a dominant force in the car-buying process, and AutoNation is focused on aligning its employee population with its customer base, which includes employing more women in the business, Staub said.
“We have more women and college graduates today looking at careers in auto retail,” she said. “The perception has changed, along with the way customers currently buy and service vehicles.”

Detective Comics #1035
I feel kinda bad for Mariko Tamaki. She’s a writer that is really approaching the captivating aspect of Batman, the detective, just as the Batman books are on this Future State path.
Maybe it’s just the sense that authority figures going after Batman seems tired and a little stupid — would shutting down firefighters stop fires? — especially in the wake of City of Bane and The Joker War. Mayor Nakano is an intriguing character, but his strategy seems ill-advised for a well-meaning authority figure. Batman operating in the shadows is fine, but this sense that he’s the villain and main suspect in murder cases after years of defending Gotham doesn’t make a lot of sense.
In this issue, Batman is investigating the mysterious disappearance of a Gotham heiress, whose father is the towering Mr. Worth. Worth seems like he’s going to be a big player in Tamaki’s Detective run despite being an old money Gotham character that just randomly gets introduced now.
I really enjoy Tamaki’s dialogue for Batman as the inner monologue approach captures a noir feel that’s fitting for Detective Comics. I just wish the overall story wasn’t heading toward the Future State direction.
Dan Mora’s art remains a treat. His style is very refreshing for Batman as it doesn’t exacerbate the inherit darkness of Gotham and is clean and easy to follow. Jordie Bellaire’s color work is brilliant as usual with captivating lighting effects.
The backup story features Huntress. I’m still very confused in terms of Huntress’ ethnicity. It seemed around the New 52 she was made a black woman or had a serious tan.
Tamaki partners with artist Clayton Henry for this story and while it doesn’t have these major long lasting repercussions to be the definitive Huntress story, it’s still very entertaining. Too often it seems writers don’t appreciate that aspect of comics. Henry’s art is so clean with sensible layouts, expressive characters and fluid action sequences. Bellaire also provides the colors on this issue as well.
Detective Comics has been an easy read thanks to Tamaki’s scripts and Mora’s art. It’s not too late to get on board with what’s been a strong and engaging arc so far.
Rating: 9.5 out of 10

Meninga hits back at Bennett with photographic evidence ahead of World Cup final
Kangaroos head coach Mal Meninga returned serve on the eve of the Rugby League World Cup final against England after Wayne Bennett's accusations that Australia are using illegal tactics to slow down the ruck.
Reigning champions Australia and England will go head-to-head in Saturday's decider at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, and Bennett stoked the fire by claiming the Kangaroos have been using cheating ruck rules - a delay tactic.
Meninga hit back at the England boss on Friday, printing photographs for the media, which showed Bennett's side employing similar tactics throughout the tournament, against Tonga in the semi-final and during training.
Asked about Bennett's claims, Meninga told reporters: "It's to be expected. That's part of the banter of such a big game.
"We want a quick play-the-ball and he wants a quick play-the-ball so you come up with these strategies every now and again.
"I might show you some pictures. That's England and Tonga last week and that's their training on Wednesday morning. They are practising three in their tackles.
"That's the game of rugby league. It happens every week in the NRL."
Pressed on the pre-match talk, Meninga said: "It's common. It's what happens. There is banter and nice pictures in the paper.
"It's part of the theatre of big games. They want to win. We want to win. It adds to the drama of a World Cup final.
"You've got to slow the ruck down. That's the game of rugby league. If you win the ruck you have a great chance of being successful.
"We don't want to make it about me and Wayne. It's about the two teams.
"Wayne feels that the ruck has been refereed unfairly but I've showed some examples that it happens in every game.
"Banter is great. Theatre is good. Wayne feels like he needs to add to it all and I'm happy to return serve. It's all fun."


text: This week the children used their designs to create their picture frames. They needed to create a hole in the card which was the right shape and size to show their photograph without it falling through. The children then had to use coloured card and paper to realise their designs. Our next step is going to be putting a back on the frame which allows the picture to be inserted and removed, then a stand which will allow their frame to remain upright, without their help! Wish us luck!!


When gyms in New York City shut down at the onset of the pandemic in March 2020, fitness trainer Brendan Bellantoni found himself unemployed after being laid off via email.
But Bellantoni, who says he’s “not the type to cry over spilled milk,” wasted no time and was on a call with a colleague within 15 minutes of receiving the bad news. “We jumped on Zoom and started Sweat From Home that night,” he says.
The co-founders had existing personal training clients from their previous employer, Orangetheory, which meant they could get started with Sweat From Home’s virtual training business immediately. Bellantoni held the first class the morning after being let go, with 60 clients in attendance.
Within 3 months the company brought on a 3rd co-founder, hired 10 coaches and support staff, and at its peak was running 60 live HIIT classes per week with just under 100 monthly recurring users. The trio bootstrapped the company — each founder took a small paycheck to survive — and every dollar made from classes was poured back into the business. Nine months into the business, Sweat From Home raised a seed round from small investment firms, friends, and family that totaled $215k.
That fundraising round turned out to be one of the company’s downfalls; Sweat From Home officially closed its doors in November 2021. As customers returned to work out in person, the company started losing coaches and eventually one of its co-founders. With fitness giants like Mirror and Peloton in the home workout space, Bellantoni began to see there was no way to salvage the venture.
Below Bellantoni shares his 4 most important takeaways from his shuttered venture.
Lesson 1: Be aligned with your co-founder.
Bellantoni’s partner came from a traditional business background, while he did not. Though having founders with varying skill sets can be valuable, partners need to be on the same page as far as the larger goals of the business and the company culture.
“My partner and I had different visions of what we wanted to do,” he says. “We both wanted the business to succeed. We just had different ideas and approaches on how to achieve that, ultimately ending the relationship.”
Lesson 2: Be in tune with your audience.
After its 1st seed round, Sweat From Home spent $80k on marketing — for which they got a nearly 0% return. The co-founders hired a marketing consultant that charged $20k for just 3 months of work, yet customers were not signing up for classes.
“We had ads running on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. We A/B tested pictures, videos, headlines, titles, audiences, and copy. You name it, we tried it,” says Bellantoni. “We would get some clicks, but very few people were signing up. We offered free classes, discounted packages — every possible angle to entice people to sign up, but we kept failing short.”
Even after tinkering with the website design, targeting different keywords, and offering referral bonuses, the co-founders were still striking out. Looking back, Bellantoni sees that it might simply have been a product of a pandemic-born business that ran its course.
“The enormous spend and the slow trickle of people leaving and not being replaced became worrisome,” he says. “It may have been that the market just no longer wanted what we provided.”
Lesson 3: Raise funds thoughtfully.
Bellantoni also regrets raising money and trying to expand into a larger virtual fitness company, when he thinks they might’ve had a chance if they stayed as a small, independent gym that could transition back to in-person classes when the demand changed.
“On some level I believe that we never should’ve taken investors’ money. I think we spent the money unwisely and put unnecessary pressure on ourselves once we took it,” he says. “We were always a scrappy business, but taking money from investors changes the dynamic of the business and the relationships between you, your co-founders, and the investors.”
Lesson 4: Set realistic expectations.
Rosy projections can set a business up for harsh reality checks. Bellantoni was initially excited about his partner’s financial estimates, but they ultimately raised the bar too high.
“The possibilities of taking other people’s money to increase your business tenfold looks great on paper,” says Bellantoni. Yet in his gut, he knew the numbers were too good to be true, and likely didn’t account for all the things that could go wrong with a fitness company, let alone a fitness company built during a pandemic.
“We made our projections when we were halfway through our 1st year through to the next full year,” he says. “We definitely overestimated everything. After the end of our 2nd quarter in 2021, when our actuals were nothing near our projections, it put a damper on running the business and left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.”
Even with the string of mistakes that ultimately led to the shuttering of his business, Bellantoni has no regrets: “I learned so much in the last 2 years about business and about myself,” Bellatoni says. “I am so passionate about fitness, and I know that each failure is just bringing me closer to success.”

What Are the Consequences of Gambling?
Gambling is an activity in which people wager money or other items of value on an event that has an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods. The process of gambling involves three elements: consideration, chance and prize. In the past, many governments prohibited or restricted gambling. However, modern laws allow individuals to participate in legal gambling activities by placing a bet on events that are uncertain in terms of their outcome.
Gambling can have both negative and positive impacts on an individual’s health and well-being. These impacts can be structured into classes of costs and benefits that can be measured at the personal, interpersonal, and community/societal levels. These effects are both immediate and long-term.
Negative consequences of gambling include addiction, financial problems, and strained or broken relationships. Some of these consequences can also have a significant impact on a person’s mental health. While some people have the ability to control their gambling and stop it from becoming problematic, others may find that they are unable to stop. Regardless of the cause of an individual’s gambling problem, there are steps that can be taken to help them overcome it.
The positive consequences of gambling include entertainment and socialization. Many casino games involve a number of players, and this can bring people together in a social setting. Furthermore, gambling can be used as a way to raise funds for charitable causes, which can improve a person’s community spirit and sense of belonging.
In addition, some people have an adrenaline rush when they gamble, which can make them feel happy and satisfied. This can be caused by the fact that our brains are programmed to seek thrill-seeking behaviour, and gambling has been shown to trigger the release of dopamine in the brain. However, some people can experience an addiction to gambling, and this can lead to negative consequences such as financial ruin and even suicide.
The key to overcoming gambling is to start with a fixed amount of money that you are willing to lose, and stick to it. If you are unsure of your limits, talk to a professional. A therapist can provide you with the tools and support that you need to break free from the gambling habit. Many people have succeeded in regaining their lives by getting help and breaking the habit. It can take a lot of courage to admit that you have a gambling problem, especially if it has cost you money and ruined your relationships in the process. But, recognizing the problem is the first step towards recovery. You can then begin to work on it and re-establish your life. The world’s largest online therapist service can match you with a licensed and vetted therapist in as little as 48 hours. Click the button below to get started.
