When city coolguy Ren McCormack moves to the small Tennessee town of Bomont, he's shocked to learn that the city had banned dancing. Their reasoning? Last time some kids gathered together to recreate scenes from the Step Up series, they ended up getting in a car accident! And while some would attribute that mishap to all the empty Coors Light cans strewn around the dancing grounds, the Reverend Dennis Quaid saw fit to blame the art of Channing Tatum, and convinced the council to ban all public displays of rhythmic movement. What's a dance-loving city boy to do!? Recreate the plot of 1984's Footloose is what he's to do:
This being an MTV production, I guess we should just be grateful the film doesn't seem overly concerned with Footloose's abs. It probably will be, though.
From MTV, here's the poster for Black Snake Moan director Craig Brewer's remake of Footloose that, like Morningstar Farms, tries to pass off some kind of unknown substitute as something equivalent to Bacon. I'm not buying it, but hey, at least they're trying--in times like this... / Continue →
Here's the trailer for At Any Price, a film about how sometimes a family passion will skip a generation, just as a weathered, permanent grimace apparently will. Dennis Quaid plays a father and head of a long-held family farm who hopes to hand it off to his son one day, when he'... / Continue →
Here's the trailer for Save Haven, the latest in a long line of films to use a Nicholas Sparks novel as the inspirational backdrop to a man romantically boxing a woman's ears. This one features the generically-attractive coupling of Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel, with Hough s... / Continue →

I want my son to play football, but my ex-wife says it’s dangerous. Who gets final say? She has primary physical custody, but we have joint legal custody.
That depends on what your custody agreement says. Who gets final say about extracurricular activities if you cannot agree? That’s the person who gets to decide this issue. Beyond this, however, consider if this is a hill you want to die on. Does your child want to play football? Is this small thing worth creating animus with your ex? It’s certainly not worth going to court over.

CIGARS, I am informed, have constituted a portion of the street-trade for upwards of years, having been introduced not long after the removal of the prohibition on their importation from Cuba. It was not, however, until or years later that they were at all extensively sold in the streets; but the street-trade in cigars is no longer extensive, and in some respects has ceased to exist altogether.
I am told by experienced persons that the cigars vended in the streets and public-houses were really smuggled. I say "really" smuggled, as many now vended under that pretence never came from the smuggler's hands. "Well, now, sir," said man, "the last time I sold Pickwicks and Cubers a penny apiece with lights for nothing, was at Greenwich Fair, on the sly rather, and them as I could make believe was buying a smuggled thing, bought far freer. Everybody likes a smuggled thing." [This remark is only in consonance with what I have heard from others of the same class.] "In my time I've sold what was smuggled, or made to appear as sich, but far more in the country than town, to all sorts—to gentlemen, and ladies, and shopkeepers, and parsons, and doctors, and lawyers. Why no, sir, I can't say as how I ever sold anything in that way to an exciseman. But smuggling'll always be liked; it's sich a satisfaction to any man to think he's done the tax-gatherer."
The price of a cigar, in the earlier stages of the street-traffic, was and of the boxes in which these wares are ordinarily packed was divided by a partition, the side containing the higher, and the other the lower priced article. The division was often a mere trick of trade—in justification of which any street-seller would be sure to cite the precedent of shopkeepers' practices—for the cigars might be the same price (wholesale) but the bigger and better-looking were selected as "threepennies," the "werry choicest and realest Hawanners, as mild as milk, and as strong as gunpowder," for such, I am told, was the cry of a then well-known street-trader. The great sale was of the "twopennies." As the fuzees, now so common, were unknown, and lucifer matches were higher-priced, and much inferior to what they are at present, the cigar seller in most instances carried tow with him, a portion of which he kept ignited in a sort of tinder-box, and at this the smokers lighted their cigars; or the vender twisted together a little tow and handed it, ignited, to a customer, that if he were walking on he might renew his "light," if the cigar "wouldn't draw."
A cheaper cigar soon found its way into street commerce, "only a penny apiece, prime cigars;" and on its introduction, a straw was fitted into it, as a mouth-piece. "Cigar tubes" were also sold in the streets; they were generally of bone, and charged from to each. The cigar was fitted into the tube, and they were strongly recommended on the score of economy, as "by means of this tube, any gen'l'man can smoke his cigar to half a quarter of an inch, instead of being forced to throw it away with an inch and a half left." These tubes have not for a long time been vended in the streets. I am told by a person, who himself was then engaged in the sale, that the greatest number of penny cigars ever sold in the streets in day was on that of her Majesty's coronation (). Of this he was quite
|positive from what he had experienced, seen, and heard.|
common practice among the smarter streetseller, when "on cigars," was, until of late years, and still is, occasionally at races and fairs, to possess themselves of a few really choice "weeds," as like as they could procure them to their stockin-trade, and to smoke of them, as they urged their traffic.
The aroma was full and delicate, and this was appealed to if necessary, or, as man worded it, the smell was "left to speak for itself." The street-folk who prefer the sale of what is more or less a luxury, become, by the mere necessities of their calling, physiognomists and quick observers, and I have no reason to doubt the assertion of cigar-vendor, when he declared that in the earlier stages of this traffic he could always, and most unerringly in the country, pick out the man on whose judgment others seemed to rely, and by selling him of his choice reserve, procure a really impartial opinion as to its excellence, and so influence other purchasers. When the town trade "grew stale"—the usual term for its fallingoff—the cigar-sellers had a remunerative field in many parts of the country.
In London, before railways became the sole means of locomotion to a distance, the cigar-sellers frequented the coaching-yards; and the "outsides" frequently "bought a cigar to warm their noses of a cold night," and sometimes filled their cases, if the cigar-seller chanced to have the good word of the coachman or guard.
The cigar street-trade was started by Jews, brothers, named Benasses, who were "licensed to deal in tobacco," and vended good articles. When they relinquished the open-air business, they supplied the other street-sellers, whose numbers increased very rapidly. The itinerant cigarven- ding was always principally in the hands of the Jews, but the general street-traders resorted to the traffic on all occasions of public resort,—"sich times," observed , "as fairs and races, and crownations, and Queen's weddings; I wish they came a bit oftener for the sake of trade." The manufacture of the cigars sold at the lowest rates, is now almost entirely in the hands of the Jews, and I am informed by a distinguished member of that ancient faith, that when I treat of the Hebrew children, employed in cigars, there will be much to be detailed of which the public have little cognisance and little suspicion.
The cigars in question are bought (wholesale) in , , Ailie-street, Tenter-ground, in Goodman's-fields, and similar localities. The kinds in chief demand are Pickwicks, and per lb.; Cubas, ; common Havannahs and Bengal Cheroots, the same price; but the Bengal Cheroots are not uncommonly smuggled.
At all the neighbouring races and fairs, and at any great gathering of people in town, cigars are sold, more with the affectation than the reality of its being done, "quite on the sly." The retail price is each, and for Some of the cheap cigars are made to run , and even as high as to the pound. A fuzee is often given into the bargain.
I am told that, on all favourable opportunities, there are still persons who vend cigars in the streets of London, while a greater number of "London hands" carry on the trade at Epsom and Ascot races. At other periods the business is all but a nonentity. To clear a week is considered "good work." At period, on every fine Sunday, there were not, I am assured, fewer than persons selling cigars in the open air in London and its suburbs.

In too fast…
Trista Lennon-Carter received a phone call that will change her tranquil life with her husband, rock star Linx Carter, in the blink of an eye. All she knows is her brother, Trey, is either dead or being held against his will in Northern Ireland and despite him being the Demon’s Bastards’ Sergeant-at-Arms, he needs her help.
In too far…
To save Trey, Trista will have to take Linx back to the very place she grew up and the same place she’s wanted to escape from her entire life. She will also have to involve the very Motorcycle clubs she has no wish to deal with ever again. When it is a life or death situation, she would do anything to save the only family she has left.
In too deep…
The club life has become ingrained in Trista like a tattoo and to save her brother, she will be forced to become the person she most feared was a part of her all along: a vengeful, fearless murderer who will stop at nothing to save Trey. With her life and that of her husband’s at stake, will she survive the nightmare their world has become, or will it drag them back into the criminal cesspool she has finally managed to escape?
The stunning conclusion to The Lovers Duet, Trista and Linx’s journey will be one of strife, hardship and beyond the boundaries of anything they have ever had to face before. Will they be able to endure or will the past and their current present ruin their future happy ever after?
Selene Chardou is a world traveler and the alter-ego of Elle Chardou.
Ms. Chardou’s writing is all about hot romance and exciting times with the wild, damaged, out of control and/or rich and famous set in the New Adult realm.
She is currently working on The Will to Love, the second novel in the Scarlet Fever Series, which chronicles the relationship of Will Cullen and Laurel Munsen. She is also working on Deadly Seduction, the first novel in The Rough Riders series, which chronicles the issues between three Motorcycle Clubs, and various criminal elements in the tri-city area of Reno, Lake Tahoe and Carson City in Northern Nevada.
Ms. Chardou has lived abroad in Stockholm (Sweden), Manchester (England), Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area and Portland. She currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Out From Under (The Lovers Duet #1)
Trista Lennon is strong, independent and only desires freedom. Freedom from the control of her parents, freedom from the motorcycle gangs she has had to put up with her whole life and freedom from a relationship that will trap her into the very life she has no wish to ever live.
The day before she’s supposed to leave for Stanford University to pursue her dreams, her world is shattered. After a tragedy that tears her family apart, Trey, her cousin, Talia, invites her to L.A. Her life is all the sudden Hollywood stars and sunshine, late nights and wild parties.
And then she meets him.
Linx Carter isn’t looking for a relationship. He survived a dysfunctional marriage with his childhood sweetheart, which produced two sons, an inability to trust women and a multitude of lies. He merely wants to recuperate from a rough, six month tour Winter’s Regret just completed with superstar band, Scarlet Fever, and enjoy a little peace and quiet.
Until he sees her.
Trista and Linx fight their attraction for one another like war on a battlefield.
She has a closetful of secrets and he would rather be single and pathetic than date a teenage girl who seems older than her years. However the passion between them is too much to resist and they realize in order to heal one another, they must destroy the walls they have constructed so tightly around their hearts.

I sometimes wonder whether my humans think about me when I leave them on their own. So, it was nice of Mikki to bring back this picture from her trip to Walt Disney World in October.
We have a couple of small china ornaments of Figaro but I don't think we have any with quite these poses. It goes to show how cute cats are whatever they do.
Meanwhile, Mikki is very busy today making sure she has all the documentation for our tip to Florida. This is becoming more difficult as everything is sent electronically now so she has to remember to print them. Andrew asked if she had my "pet passport". Cheek! That's one of the reasons toy cats are better than real ones (you can take us away on holiday/vacation without worrying about injections, quarantine or passports) but let's get it straight. Cats allow humans to look after them. Cats are not pets. Toy cats get cuddles when they want, like now.

What’s Known and Not Known About the Mysterious Vaping Illness
More deaths, few clues, and a sense of emergency as e-cig use soars and the black market thrives
As the death toll from a respiratory illness tied to vaping reached eight last week and the number of total cases in the crisis climbed to 530 across 38 states, the mystery began to take on Hollywood qualities. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention activated its emergency operations center while scrambling to find a cause, or even just some clues, in a health crisis that has officials baffled. Unlike with salmonella or E. coli outbreaks, experts have no idea what substance is behind this public health nightmare.
“I wish we had more answers,” Anne Schuchat, the CDC’s principal deputy director, said in a press briefing. “We’re working closely with state and local health departments, FDA, and the clinical community to learn as much as we can to try to stop this outbreak.”
Here are some things that are known about the crisis, according to the CDC:
- More than half the illnesses involve people under the age of 25, and 16% are younger than 18.
- The overall age range of victims extends up to 65 years old.
- Some 75% of the people afflicted are men.
- The total number of cases includes both individuals with newly reported symptoms as well as some with previously identified sicknesses that are only now being counted as part of this outbreak.
- Symptoms include coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, fever, and abdominal pain.
- Most of the patients report a history of vaping with products that contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound found in marijuana.
- Some, but not all, of the patients report using e-cigs with nicotine.
Officials don’t yet know if the illnesses are tied to commercial vaping products or black market alternatives, let alone which substances might be the culprits. Schuchat…

Title: Building an Interpretable Classifier for Brain Tumour Prediction
Speaker: Colleen Charlton
Abstract: Patients with a brain tumour may present with general non-specific symptoms that vary depending on the location and size of the tumour. Thus diagnosis of a brain tumour is difficult, which is compounded by the rarity of the condition. My project aims to build an interpretable rule-based machine learning model using a UK dataset that can assess a patient’s likelihood of a brain tumour based on their presenting symptoms. The final interpretable model may act as a second opinion to assist general practitioners in patient referral and diagnosis.

text: The New York Post reports that it is getting hard to gain access to your hard-earned cash from ATMs in the Big Apple. This is because Chase Bank has decided to close some of its ATMs early due to rising crime. The company says it has little choice but to change the hours that it offers ATM services for the people who need them in the city. Typically, the bank offers around-the-clock services at some of its ATMs in New York City, but it has decided that it will likely have to close down some of those ATMs entirely and limit the hours at others. Chase tweeted the following last week: [tweet_embed]January 24, 2023[/tweet_embed] “Our apologies. We decide (sic) to close several ATM vestibules at 5 PM or 6 PM, aligning the hours of service to that of the normal branch hours, due to rising crime and vagrancy that occurred in these previously 24/7 vestibules,” The bank has not been forthcoming about how extensive the reduction in service hours will be and how many ATMs will be impacted. [tweet_embed]January 24, 2023[/tweet_embed] A spokesperson for the bank stated the following to the New York Post: “For the safety of our customers and employees, we may temporarily close some ATMs overnight,” That spokesperson followed up by saying: “We can’t confirm how many ATMs are affected because it changes constantly.” One upset bank patron said he could not access his money in both Fort Greene and Williamsburg in NYC. The annoyed customer, Sunny NG, tweeted the following: “It’s really annoying that @chase locks their ATMs at 10 PM now. I thought this was New York?” He continued by saying: “I’m kind of shocked that they [Chase] admitted this is what they’re doing,” Some customers were also surprised by the online admission by Chase that they would be taking such extreme action as this. People were shocked, surprised, and upset by the seeming suddenness of the announcement, and it is something that people did not appreciate being sprung on them like this. However, Chase felt it had no choice but to make this announcement and let the chips fall where they may. Another annoyed customer tweeted: “Are you going to refund the ATM fees to customers when we get ripped off to use a bodega ATM to pay for our late-night slice of pizza because you can’t provide a basic service to account holders?” It is yet another example of how crime is hurting people throughout the country.

REUTERS/Brian Snyder/File Photo(Reuters) -Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co posted quarterly profit and revenue that beat Wall Street estimates on Friday, as sales of its tires rose due to a rebound in auto demand.
U.S. auto demand, however, has risen since then, as consumers focus on personal safety and opt for private vehicles during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The company, whose brands include Kelly and Dunlop, said tire volumes rose 12% to 35 million units in the quarter, while replacement tire volumes jumped 14%.
Excluding items, the company earned 43 cents per share, beating estimates of 9 cents, according to Refinitiv data.

The Go-Ped ESR750EX is the first step to owning a high-quality electric scooter that will be with your family for many years. Go-ped has taken every step of production to the highest level of quality, and perfection. Chinese scooters tend to be cheap, angle iron framed, welded, and spray painted black so you can't see it, but Go-ped mandrel bends their 4130 chromoly seamless tubing, and finish it off with a bright coat of thick and durable powder coating in your choice of different colors. The only thing that you will ever need to replace is the tires, chain, and sprockets, and these parts will take years to wear out. The batteries will product 300 charge cycles, so once they are used up, the batteries would need to be replaced also, but these usually last for years as well.
The X-treme X-10 mini electric scooter is the perfect scooter for your child's first electric scooter. The X-10 mini electric scooter is a fun and safe start into the electric personal transport world, and the compact design makes the X-10 mini electric scooter easy to operate for even the smallest riders. Not too fast, but definitely good for
Go-Ped, aka: Patmont Motor Werks, has been producing the highest quality motorized scooters, since 1985. Steve Patamont started building the highest quality scooters available, from his garage in Pleasanton, California. Go-ped produces the nicest scooters that I have ever seen, and I have seen them all. Some of the innovative ideas that Go-ped has developed, revolutionized electric scooter transport, and they have even created a gas powered scooter called the go-ped pro-ped, propane powered, four-stroke, scooter that produces almost no emissions. Go-ped released the ESR750 electric scooter line in 2003, so that the environmentally conscious scooter patrons would have a green personal transportation option. The ESR line of electric scooters, then got another great advancement when Go-Ped developed the, extremely efficient, Cantilevered Independent Dynamic Linkless Indispension system (C.I.D.L.I.) that would revolutionize ride comfort, and electric scooter off road capabilities....
The Go-ped ESR750EX is one of Go-ped's most popular electric scooters because of its capabilities, and its high quality fit and finish. Go-ped has taken the ESR750EX's successful platform and improved upon the already great capabilities. The first generation Go-ped ESR750EX comes standard equipped with Sealed Lead Acid batteries (S.L.A.), but the new ESR750EX Li is equipped with Lithium Ion batteries. Lithium Ion batteries are the newest technology for electric scooters and bikes, and these super light batteries weigh just a fraction of what S.L.A. batteries weigh. The smaller, lighter, and more powerful lithium ion batteries last three times longer than S.L.A. batteries, and they weigh less than half of the weight too....
Go-ped has taken the highest level of technology available, and applied it to their already advanced ESR750H model to make it the most High Perfomance electric scooter I have ever had the pleasure of reviewing. Go-Ped is the highest quality producer of Electric Scooters that I have found yet, and I thought that their ESR750H (hoverboard) was the highest the bar could be set for quality, durability, price, and ride, but I was wrong. Go-ped has added the super efficient, lightweight, and high-output of Lithium Ion Battery packs to their already awesome ESR750H, to make it the Go-Ped ESR750H-Li. The introduction of Lithium Ion batteries is super efficient compared to the conventionally used, Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries that have been used up to this point. Sealed lead acid batteries only last for about 200 charge cycles, require two or three batteries "in series", and one SLA battery is more than double the weight of the whole pack of 8 Lithium Ion Batteries. The weight saved throught the use of Li batteries transfers to the efficiency of the scooter and it's range.

Kyushu Electric Returns to Profit With Help of Nuclearby
Annual net income totals 73.5 billion yen vs loss a year ago
Japanese utilities also benefitting from lower fuel costs
Kyushu Electric Power Co., the only Japanese utility with a nuclear power plant currently operating, returned to profit last fiscal year, underscoring the financial benefits from atomic generation to utilities facing challenges ranging from heightened competition to a slump in energy consumption.
Net income was 73.5 billion yen ($678 million) for the 12 months ended March 31, compared with a net loss of 114.7 billion yen a year ago, the Fukuoka-based company said in a statement Thursday. By operating the Sendai No. 1 and No. 2 nuclear reactors in southern Japan for about half the fiscal year, Kyushu Electric’s profit was boosted 73 billion yen, the utility said.
Japan’s utilities see nuclear generation as the best way to boost profitability, particularly as the former monopolies face declining sales, more competition from renewable energy and an influx of new retailers.
“Kyushu Electric has been able to offset this by restarting nuclear plants,” James Taverner, an analyst at IHS Inc., said by e-mail. “It has sharply cut fossil fuel consumption and reduced costly imports. Lower-cost generation has become even more important -- and a key competitive edge -- since the Japanese residential retail market was opened up.”
With the Sendai reactors back online, the company will pay a dividend of 5 yen per share for the year just ended, the first time it has been able to do that since the company shut its atomic plants following the March 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster. Kyushu Electric, like Japan’s other utilities, is also benefiting from the sharp decline in fuel prices, a point highlighted by improving profits reported by Kansai Electric Power Co., Shikoku Electric Power Co. and Hokkaido Electric Power Co.
Full-year operating profit at Tokyo Electric Power Co. Holdings Inc. rose 18 percent to 372 billion yen, the company said Thursday.
With its nuclear reactors online, Kyushu Electric’s thermal power generation fell 24 percent in February from the previous year, compared with an average drop of 5.5 percent at Japan’s remaining 9 regional utilities, according to the latest data from the government.
In particular, Kyushu Electric was able to lower its use of oil-fired power plants, which are roughly three times more expensive to operate than a nuclear reactor, according to government figures. Kyushu Electric’s consumption of heavy oil and crude oil fell by 53 percent in February, while Tokyo Electric’s declined by 6.7 percent and Hokkaido Electric’s rose.
Brent crude oil fell about 27 percent over the last year to $47, while LNG imported to Japan dropped 63 percent to $6.8 per million British thermal units.
Still, power usage in Japan is declining amid a shrinking population and new entrants are cutting into electricity sold by the regional utilities. Japan’s population shrank the past seven years to 126.9 million, the smallest since 2000, according to estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau.
New entrants have almost doubled their share of electricity output in the last three years and now account for about 5 percent of Japan’s supply. And with Japan fully liberalizing its electricity market on April 1, more retailers will be fighting for the stagnant market.
Since Japan opened its low-voltage market, representing about 40 percent of the nation’s consumption, about 744,400 households and small businesses have switched from the incumbent utilities to new providers, according to data compiled by the Organization for Cross-Regional Coordination of Transmission Operators.
Reflecting these trends, Kyushu Electric’s sales fell 2 percent to 1.84 trillion yen last fiscal year, while the drop was even bigger at Kansai Electric, the nation’s second-biggest utility, where revenue declined 4.7 percent. Sales at Tokyo Electric, the country’s biggest utility, fell 11 percent for the year.
Japanese utilities executives have made no secret about their desire to bring the nation’s nuclear fleet back online despite opposition from much of the public.
Nowhere is that argument more acute than at Tokyo Electric, the operator of the wrecked Fukushima Dai-Ichi plant. Should oil rise above $50, Tokyo Electric would swing to a net loss, the company’s president, Naomi Hirose, said in February, making the case for why the utility must restart its nuclear plants.
Tokyo Electric has applied to restart two units at its Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant northwest of Tokyo, spending hundreds of billions of yen to improve safety and meet new standards in the process. Resuming the two units would boost profit by as much as 28 billion yen a month, the company said last year.

Rotterdam departs today on maiden voyage! The ship will cross the Atlantic Ocean from Amsterdam to Ft. Lauderdale and then spend its inaugural season in the Caribbean.
SEATTLE, Oct. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Holland America Line's Rotterdam departed today on its highly anticipated 14-day maiden voyage from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The cruise line celebrated the occasion with fanfare, cheering crew and a ribbon cutting to welcome guests on board the transatlantic cruise.
The 2,668-guest Rotterdam was delivered in July 2021 and is the third in the Pinnacle Class series for Holland America Line. Last week the ship arrived at its namesake city of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, where it was announced that Her Royal Highness Princess Margriet of the Netherlands will be the ships godmother when it is officially named in the spring.
"Rotterdam's maiden voyage has been highly anticipated for months by our guests and team members eager to welcome them aboard," said Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line. "Rotterdam is a beautiful ship and the fourth in our fleet to begin cruising this year. We are excited to bring her to Florida and the Caribbean soon on her first sailing."
Following the transatlantic crossing, Rotterdam will spend from November through April on its inaugural Caribbean Season, with all sailings roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale. The cruises range from six to 11 days and span the entire region on southern, eastern, western and tropical itineraries. Guests looking for a longer getaway can embark on a Collectors' Voyage — combined back-to-back itineraries that offer an in-depth exploration covering more than one area.
Every Caribbean cruise includes a call at Half Moon Cay, Holland America Line's award-winning private Bahamian island. This quaint sanctuary has evolved into a playground for cruise guests and features the finest beaches; two-story villas and private cabanas; delicious dining venues like Lobster Shack; and a variety of fun-filled tours for nature lovers, adventurous travelers and explorers.
Rotterdam has the highly successful amenities and innovations introduced with her sister ships, including the 270-degree surround screen World Stage, Rudi's Sel de Mer restaurant and Grand Dutch Café. The ship introduces the Half Moon Bar, an immersive experience looking at the history of Holland America Line and cruising through the lens of a cocktail.
Delivering the best of everything, Rotterdam celebrates live music with a collection of world-class performances each night — from Lincoln Center Stage and B.B. King's Blues Club to Rolling Stone Rock Room and Billboard Onboard.
Throughout the ship, Rotterdam showcases Holland America Line hallmarks that drive one of the highest repeat rates in the industry: exquisite cuisine guided by eight of the world's leading chefs; gracious, award-winning service; a museum-quality art collection valued at more than $4 million; and superbly appointed staterooms and suites, including family and single accommodations.
Rotterdam is the seventh ship to bear the name for Holland America Line.

the LGBTQA resource center made a lil typo, i fixed it
*rolls eyes into oblivion*
And DONT erase ally either!
no just erase the ally
erase all the ally
being an ally is not a sexual orientation or a way of life that is discriminated against
so just erase the ally
Being an ally is like being a parent at a sporting event. Like yes great, you know those people on the field and you care about them but you are not playing the game you are not the one who is going to get hurt you have no stakes you personally do not ‘win’ anything so changing the A to ally is like a parent running out onto a field after a big game, ripping the trophy away from the child and being like:
LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! I WON! I WON THE GAME! ME IT WAS ALL ME YOU GUYS COULDN’T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT ME!!!!!!
and that is just plain silly.
That’s not what being an ally is like at all.
It shouldnt be like that, no, youre right. But how often is it true with the special snowflake allies?
I don’t know. I haven’t seen one of them yet, honestly. I mean, presumably they exist, because every cause attracts such people, but I’ve never actually encountered one.
if people really want me to, i can stop being an ally.
It’s not that difficult to join side and stand strong with 80% of the world, though it dose go against my beliefs…but if I’m not wanted, i won’t bother people who want to stay in groups defined by sexuality…
Though I did think that we were fighting against that kind of grouping, for equality and sych….but what do I know…I’m heterosexual so my opinion clearly don’t matter
It is okay to be an ally, allies just don’t get to be in the acronym especially over asexuals. While allies occasionally experience bigotry due to their support of LGBTQIA rights, the brunt of the discrimination still falls on people who aren’t heterosexual — who are sometimes so marginalized that people completely forget to put them in the acronym.
Being a good ally requires not making the cause about you and your feelings to the exclusion of the people you are being an ally to. Social movements cannot be about protecting the delicate feelings of allies over the basic cause of human rights and social equality for the oppressed. This is not a back-patting struggle, it is a struggle against serious and continuing bigotry, inequality, and oppression.
And “ally” isn’t an identity, it is a set of actions. You don’t win an ally trophy and then get cookies and a trophy proving your immutable allyship. Being an ally requires doing work. Lots of people forget that and claim to be allies while distracting from the goal of the work by requiring the people they’re “helping” to constantly thank them and focus on their feelings, getting angry and even mean while withdrawing their support when anyone tells them “hey, look, this isn’t all about you." So if you want to be a good ally, you might also want to recognize that bad allies are a thing and skip the #notallallies comments.
Movements want allies. Allies are important. But they’re not the reason for social justice movements or the center of these movements, nor should they be.

Skin Care Ingredients Explained With Pictures
Learn about the scientifically backed benefits of Skin Care Acids and their effects on the skin and where to buy the best skin care acids for your skin type. You will learn about Hyaluronic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Niacinamide, Glycerin
Skin Care Ingredients Quotes
1. pH Balance of your Skin:
Health of your skin and body is directly related to pH balance - maintaining the right balance between acid and alkaline.
0 (Most Acidic) to 14 (Most Alkaline). 5.5 is a right acidic balance for the skin. Too alkaline makes the skin dry.
2. Chemical exfoliators are BHA, AHA and PHA.
They unglue the dead skin cells from your skin.
3. AHA is Alpha Hydroxy Acids. They come from Milk, Sugar and Fruits. AHA's work on the surface of the skin so they are good for dry and sensitive skin.
4. PHA is Poly Hydroxy acid which is relatively new for skin care. They don't penetrate as deep into the skin as AHAs and BHAs and work on the skin surface without disturbing the delicate layers that lie beneath. Good for people with eczema, rosacea and very sensitive skin.
5. Peeling gel is an exfoliator that has a AHA or BHA in it that you apply on your skin and then gently scrub it out. It has cellulous particles that attach itself to the dry skin and you see them come off in rolls of dead skin.
6. What is a Toner?
Toners is also called toning agents, astringent, beauty water. They penetrate very quickly into your skin giving instant hydration, removing dead skin cells, picking up the dirt your cleanser may have missed, picking up cleanser that water may have missed. They also restores your pH balance if you cleanser was not pH balanced. It gives you a plumper brighter looking skin.
7. Chemical Exfoliators are products which contain a AHA/BHA/PHA, a peeling mask or gel.
Physical Exfoliators is using something like a wash cloth, or a scrub, or using a mechanical spinning brush.
8. Scientifically backed benefits of Hyaluronic acid: well known for its skin benefits, especially alleviating dry skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and speeding up wound healing.
9. Hyaluronic acid, also known as hyaluronan, is a clear, gooey substance that is naturally produced by your body. The largest amounts of it are found in your skin, connective tissue and eyes. Its main function is to retain water to keep your tissues well lubricated and moist.
Many people take it as a supplement, but it’s also used in topical serums, eye drops and injections.
10. Doses of 120–240 mg hyaluronic acid per day for at least one month have been shown to significantly increase skin moisture and reduce dry skin in adults.
When applied to the surface of the skin, hyaluronic acid serums can reduce wrinkles, redness and dermatitis
11. Hyaloronic acid is basically meant to hydrate your skin. They only work well if you live in a moist environment - if the air around you has a lot of moisture in it. What HA does is it holds the moisture from the environment in your skin - it can hold 2x the weight of its own moisture. If you live in a hot and dry climate, it's not really going to do much for you.
12. Retinoids help get rid of red spots, fine lines , wrinkles, uneven skin tone. Good for a night skin care routine.
Retinoids comes in different ranges: 0.2%, 1%
13. You can physically plump up your skin by using hyaluronic acid. Our own skin cells actually produce hyaluronic acid naturally with a goal to retain our moisture levels. As we get older, this production stops - making our skin look saggy and less plump. It is also good for all skin types.
14. For an instant moisture boost, use hyaluronic acid in the serum stage of your routine. As hyaluronic acid holds a thousand times its own weight in moisture - to give yourself an extra boos of plumpness, spritz some moisture over it (mineral water or essence).
Now the hyaluronic acid is going to hold onto that and retain that extra moisture.
15. Niacinamide gives your pores a tighter look and increases elasticity, giving an appearance of tighter looking pores.
16. Essence is used for plumper firmer looking skin. Essence usually have niacinamide, galactomyces and general hydrating ingredients.
17. On the days when you are not exfoliating, you can use a Retinol. You can use AHA/BHA/PHA and Retinol in the same routine if your skin likes it.
18. Glycolic Acid is one of the most powerful chemical exfoliants that dissolves the dead skin cells off of the face. They are very effective but higher concentration of Glycolic Acids in a product may be irritating for some skin types.
19. When a product has high or low pH than your natural pH (5.5), you're prone to skin irritation.

20. Lactic Acid:
Somewhat similar to Glycolic acid in the sense that it dissolves dead skin cells off the face but it's the most gentle of the exfoliants making it ideal for really sensitive skin.
21. Niacinamide helps in reducing oiliness and sebum production in the skin. So it is good for Oily skin.
It is also a brightening agent.
22. Retinol has the most research backing it up with its benefits. Retinol is great for repairing deep damage within the skin if you have acne scars, fine lines, aging, dark spots, post inflammation hyperpigmentation, scarring or other problems. Retinol will help resolve those issues.
How much Retinol to use?
Retinol can be sensitizing to the skin and can make your skin very sesitive to the sun. That is why it is best to use it at night.
Slowly introduce Retinol to your routine: Once every 2 weeks, and then once a week up to a maximum of 3 times a week.
How to apply Retinol?
Your skin should be dry when you apply Retinol. If it is wet, retinol will penetrate deeper into the skin and cause irritation and flakiness.
25. AHAs and BHAs can be used every single day, but it is recommended to use it 3-4 times a week because you want to give your skin a break from that intense exfoliation.
26. Vitamic C is Ascorbic Acid which is the most researched. All other Vitamin C ingredients are technically not Vitamic C.
How Vitamin C helps skin
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) is the most controversial skin care active ingredient.
It is known for its anti-oxidant benefits - protecting the skin during the day, brightening dark spots, preventing and decreasing aging of the skin.
Sensitive to light, turns dark brown. Make sure it is dark brown when you are using it, as it might not be that effective or will be sensitizing to the skin.
NIACINAMIDE + BHA
Is a good combination to have in the routine because they both reduce oiliness and excess sebum, and also exfoliate the skin.
May sometimes cause some sensitivity.
Perfect combination is to use Niacinamide in the morning, BHA at night.
NIACINAMIDE + RETINOL
A lot of people say this combination of active ingredients cannot be mixed.
They are recommended to be mixed together because Niacinamide reduce redness and irritation in the skin which is a common side effect of using a powerful ingredient like Retinol.
NIACINAMIDE + AHAs
AHAs (glycolic acid, lactic acid..)
They work great together. You don't have to worry about any sensitivity or irritation.
Niacinamide is not just found in Serums, but is also active ingredients in many moisturizers.
31. Mixing AHAs + BHAs:
This is a great combination as it exfoliates your skin pretty well together. Together, they give you an ultimate glow overnight.
Mixing Retinol + AHAs or BHAs
Technically, you can mix them together. Retinol helps your body to produce more skin cells, while exfoliation helps to shed excess skin cells.
Using both the same time can be effective, but you are risking over exfoliating your face.
You can use it if you have been using Retinol or Exfoliants for a long time and have not experienced sensitivity.
The best way is to use Retinol one night, and exfoliate the other night. So one day you produce more skin cells, and the other day you shed the excess skin cells. Perfect!
33. BENZOYL PEROXIDE
A common alternative ingredient to salicylic acid (BHA) which is good for getting rid of acne and acne scars. It is usually found in cleansers.
34. If you are applying 100% Ascorbic Acid as Vitamin C, then avoid using any other acid in the same routine.
It is a combination of multiple ingredients in a water-based serum which targets multiple signs of skin ageing and improves overall skin health. It helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, boost hydration, fade pigmentation, brighten dull skin, and firm and smooth skin texture.
A multi-peptide serum with syn-ake, matrixyl synthe-6, matrixyl 3000, argirelox, hyaluronic acid, amino acids and bio-derivatives to target multiple signs of aging.
It's a Buffet for your Skin Care.
36. Do not Combine Buffets with Retinol, Vitamin C (direct) and Peptides.
37. Nicinamide is a water soluble vitamin which works with what is already on your skin to help strengthen your skin barrier and water retention, improving the appearance of everything from fine lines to dark spots to redness and most interestingly, it reduces the appearance of enlarged pores.
It also helps boost ceramide production. In general, it helps your skin function well. It helps prevent acne, and also helps remove acne scars.
38. Niacinamide Myth: You can't mix it with Vitamin C.
People say they cancel each other out based on an old research paper from the 1960s, where they used unstable versions of pure vitamin C in very high temperature.
How to use Niacinamide?
You can find Vit B3 in every stage of your skin care routine. You can use it in combination with AHA/BHA, Hyaluronic Acid, Retinols, Vit C - it mixes well with everything.
It works best on leave on products like essences, serums or night creams.
Use it twice a day, in the morning you may use a product which contains some niacinamide, and at night you may use it in a concentrated form, like a serum.
40. Vitamin C is an anti-oxidant. It mops up the free radicals from your skin. Free radicals lead to hyperpigmentation.
Vit C also has Brightening effects which tend to start to reverse pigmentation.
41. Azelaic Acid is a Tyrosinase inhibitor - which slows down the rate of melanin production.
42. Fragrance smells good and it feels like you are treating your skin. What you are actually doing is creating a bushfire on your skin - by igniting a chain reaction that you can't see right away. Over the course of years, you develop alergic reactions to your favorite product and you may also develop allergies to the ingredients in the product that you were never allergic to before. This is the problem created by the Loreals and big skin care brands of the world.
43. The Ordinary Layering for Hyperpigmentation
1. Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA (derivative of Hydroquinone)
2. Niacinamide 10%
3. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate 10%
4. Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion or Retinol (max 2%)
5. Azelaic Acid
6. Moisturizer (fragrance free and free from actives)
44. Products are formulated with up to 2% Salicylic Acid. It is best to be used as a Spot Treatment and to be applied only where you see acne and pimples. Spot treatment speeds up the healing process of the acne/pimple.
45. Dark Circles are when you see physical pigmentation on your under-eye area.
Under-eye puffiness or Eye bags is different. It is the physical indentation of the skin under-eye area which may be confused with dark circles if there is a direct light from above. Over sleeping is one of the causes of Eye Bags.
The best treatment is having enough sleep. Then, here are some more.
1. Brightening Agents like Niacinamide
3. Vitamin C
Do not forget to apply Sunscreen.
46. What is Alpha Arbutin?
Arbutin is a naturally occurring substance found in plants (berries, wheat and pears) and is considered the safer alternative to synthetic hydroquinone which is banned in the EU.

Into the Sunset
Once upon a time, sailing ships crossed the oceans on voyages of exploration and discovery. This is what inspired me to paint a fully rigged ship sailing into the west.
I am currently watching a program on NetFlix "To the Ends of the Earth", a miniseries adaptation of three sequential novels by Nobel Laureate William Golding. An adventure saga on the high seas of the late 19th century. Against this backdrop, a young British aristocrat named Edmund Talbot (Benedict Cumberbatch) boards a British warship and undertakes a voyage to Australia, where he has been given a post in the colonial government.
The film shows what life was like on a 19th century sailing ship; the hardships, the sickness, the smells, the boredom, and the danger.
