Now, even though I actually HAVE 4 children myself who are in and around this age group, I found this a VERY TRICKY challenge - but so much fun regardless!!
Because I was feeling creatively challenged, I chose to use the Hooray It's Your Day Card Kit - and I've made all 20 cards and had a great time!!!
This is my favourite because it's bright and right on trend with the colourful banner with different font sizes. I think any teenager would love this card.
So, go one, give yourself a real challenge, and come up with a great card for a teen!! Then post it onto our challenge blog and have fun!!

Film #77: Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix (2007)
Plot - Utterly absurd and overtly didactic, this film is obsessed with allegorically demonizing the modern education system. Whoever writes these films should concern themselves less with annoying messages and more with actually making an enjoyable film.
Form - Same as the second one, but darker.
F/X - See previous comment.
Acting - Too whimsical.
Mise en scene - Eh.
Quotables - No.
Cool stuff - These movies all suck. How can you make a film about wizards and such so generic and boring?

This chapter describes Esther Wheelwright’s stay in Québec, North America’s most impressively fortified city, which was surrounded by enormous earthworks and enclosed by thick stone walls and gates. There, Esther was accompanied by Father Jacques Bigot who helped her enroll in an Ursuline school. Due to Esther’s Euro-American origin Father Jacques brought her to the Château Saint-Louis to live with the governor and his family rather than transferring her immediately to the Ursuline convent. Her new Canadian hosts quickly shed Esther’ of her Wabanaki identity, and described her in contemporary documents as purely Anglaise (English). This distinction would make all the difference in her life among the Ursulines.

New measures to register security guards with police will be welcomed by the public but firms hiring them face big cost increases.
But for the guards themselves, the law has been a pain. Some companies appear to be less worried about registration than the financial costs involved.
“My friend says he will head back to his rural hometown and work on paddy fields instead, because the new law sets so many complicated rules,” Paijit Singhabubpha, 46, said.
He said his friend was willing to undergo the full registration process, including having a record taken of his fingerprints, but he was not willing to pay Bt1,000 for a three-year licence.
The Security Service Business Act, which seeks to regulate security services and boost their standards, was passed a year ago but has provisions that came into effect recently. Under the law, all security guards must register with police and to have completed at least mandatory education (Year 9 for those who left school recently).
Although the licence fee of Bt1,000 for a three-year period may not be huge, it means a lot to security guards who earn just Bt350 a day.
“And you know, we are required to work almost every day. If we fail to show up on any work day, we will be fined Bt1,200 per day,” Paijit said.
Working in Bangkok, he hoped his employer would help pay his licence fee.
Sakda Changdee, who owns Eastern Security Management, said his firm would not be able to pay the licence fee for its security guards.
“The new law also requires training for security guards, so my firm will have to absorb the training cost of about Bt2,200 per head,” he said.
His company has provided security guards in Pattaya and in Chon Buri, hiring a total of 46 security guards.
“With the training, we will have to shoulder the additional cost of Bt101,200,” Sakda said.
He said his firm was willing to pay the Bt1,000 licence fee for its security guards but they would have to pay it back later.
Sakda said he would like to urge relevant authorities to review the fee imposed on security-guard firms.
“I think the flat rate of Bt50,000 is not fair. We are just a small firm. The rate should vary in accordance with the size of each firm’s business. How can you expect a small firm to pay the same fee as a big firm that has hundreds of security guards?” he said.
Sakda believed the Security Service Business Act would also make it harder to recruit security guards.
“When people complete mandatory education, they have plenty of occupational choices. How many would choose to be security guards?” he said.

Debt can be a stressful and overwhelming experience for many people. Ignoring debt collectors in Dubai can lead to severe consequences, including legal action, blacklisting, imprisonment, and extradition. we will discuss the debt collection process in Dubai, the legal framework for debt collection, and the consequences of ignoring debt collectors in Dubai. and also know what happens if I ignore debt collectors in Dubai.
Debt collection is a common occurrence in Dubai, and it’s essential to know your rights and obligations when dealing with debt collectors. Ignoring debt collectors in Dubai can lead to a host of problems, including legal action and negative impacts on your credit score. Understanding the debt collection process in Dubai and the legal framework for debt collection is crucial to avoiding these issues.
In Dubai, the debt collection process typically begins with a demand letter from the creditor or their representative, requesting payment of the outstanding debt. If the debtor fails to respond to the demand letter, the creditor can engage a debt collection agency to recover the debt on their behalf.
Debt collectors in Dubai are regulated by the Dubai Economic Department (DED), and they are required to follow specific rules and guidelines when collecting debts. The DED has issued a Code of Conduct for Debt Collection, which outlines the ethical and professional standards that debt collectors in Dubai must adhere to.
The legal framework for debt collection in Dubai is primarily governed by Federal Law No. 18 of 1993, the Commercial Transactions Law (CTL), and Dubai Law No. 7 of 2010, concerning the establishment of the DED. The CTL provides guidelines for the collection of commercial debts in Dubai, while the DED is responsible for regulating debt collection activities in the emirate.
Under the CTL, creditors can take legal action against debtors who fail to pay their debts, including filing a case with the Dubai Courts. If the court issues a judgment against the debtor, the creditor can take further legal action to enforce the judgment, including garnishment of wages or bank accounts.
Ignoring debt collectors in Dubai can have severe consequences, including legal action, blacklisting, imprisonment, and extradition.
When a debtor ignores a debt collector’s request for payment, the debt collector may take initial actions to recover the debt. These actions may include sending additional letters, making phone calls, or sending a representative to the debtor’s address to collect the debt.
If initial actions do not result in debt recovery, debt collectors in Dubai can take legal action against the debtor. This may include filing a case with the Dubai Courts, which can result in a court judgment ordering the debtor to pay the outstanding debt. Failure to comply with a court judgment can lead to further legal action, including garnishment of wages or bank accounts.
Ignoring debt collectors in Dubai can also result in blacklisting, which means that the debtor will not be able to obtain credit or open bank accounts in the UAE. Blacklisting can also negatively impact the debtor’s credit score, making it difficult to obtain credit in the future.
In Dubai, debtors can face imprisonment for failing to pay their debts. The UAE Penal Code criminalizes issuing checks without sufficient funds, and this can result in imprisonment of up to three years. Debtors who issue checks with insufficient funds to cover their debts may face legal action and potential imprisonment.
In extreme cases, debtors who leave the country without paying their debts may face extradition to the UAE to face legal action. The UAE has extradition treaties with many countries around the world, which means that debtors who flee the country to avoid paying their debts may be brought back to Dubai to face legal action.
Dealing with debt collectors in Dubai can be stressful, but there are several steps that debtors can take to manage their debt effectively. The first step is to communicate with debt collectors and negotiate a payment plan that works for both parties. Debtors should also keep records of all communication with debt collectors, including emails and phone calls.
If debtors are struggling to manage their debts or are facing legal action, they may benefit from hiring a lawyer in Dubai. A lawyer can provide legal advice and representation, negotiate with debt collectors on behalf of the debtor, and represent the debtor in court if necessary.
Debt consolidation is an option for debtors who are struggling to manage multiple debts. Debt consolidation involves combining multiple debts into a single debt with a lower interest rate and a longer repayment period. This can make it easier for debtors to manage their debts and reduce their monthly payments.
Prevention is always better than cure when it comes to debt. To avoid debt in Dubai, it’s essential to manage your finances effectively, live within your means, and avoid overspending. Other strategies for avoiding debt include creating a budget, saving money, and investing in your future.
Financial education is crucial to effective debt management. Learning about personal finance, budgeting, and investing can help individuals make better financial decisions and avoid debt. In Dubai, there are many resources available for financial education, including workshops, seminars, and online courses.
Ignoring debt collectors in Dubai can lead to severe consequences, including legal action, blacklisting, imprisonment, and extradition. Understanding the debt collection process in Dubai, the legal framework for debt collection, and how to deal with debt collectors can help debtors manage their debts effectively and avoid these consequences. If you’re struggling with debt in Dubai, it’s essential to seek professional advice from a lawyer or financial advisor. By managing your debt effectively and adopting good financial habits, you can take control of your finances and avoid the negative consequences of debt.

Washington, D.C. – On May 1st U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) testified before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW) during a hearing on the discussion draft of the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2019. In her testimony, she stated her strong opposition to any nuclear waste storage at Nevada’s Yucca Mountain facility and emphasized that Yucca Mountain is seismically and geologically unfit to store dangerous nuclear waste. Below is her testimony as prepared for delivery.
Senator Cortez Masto’s testimony is available in both AUDIO AND VIDEO FORMAT. You may download video of her remarks HERE and audio HERE.
Good Morning Chairman Barrasso, Ranking Member Carper, and Members of the Committee. I appreciate the opportunity to sit before you today, along with my Nevada colleague, Senator Jacky Rosen, to discuss the legislative draft before you and our opposition to Yucca Mountain.
I last sat at this table in October 2007, almost 12 years ago, as the Attorney General for the State of Nevada. At the time, I provided testimony before the Committee on this very topic.
For over 30 years, many in Congress have been trying to force a repository facility on Nevada, despite the fact that Nevada does not generate or consume nuclear energy, and that Yucca Mountain is a seismically and geologically unfit site to store this dangerous material.
A vast majority of Nevadans opposed Yucca Mountain when the site was selected as the nation’s sole repository back in 1987, and they continue to do so today.
Over the years, this committee has heard from both Republican and Democratic Governors and Members of the Nevada Congressional Delegation, as well as environmental advocates, and our state’s prominent travel, tourism, and outdoor recreation industries – all of whom are united in their opposition to Yucca Mountain.
Today, I would like to dispel a few misconceptions.
Many believe Yucca Mountain is settled science. That Yucca Mountain was selected through a reasoned and thorough process. Or that Yucca Mountain is already equipped to receive nuclear waste.
Well, they are wrong.
In 1982, Congress passed the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, creating a structure for a final repository siting. This structure established a schedule for selection of a first repository to be made among three candidates in a Western state, followed by the selection of a second repository from a set of five candidates in an Eastern state, along with consideration of an interim site to be located at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
It also allowed all states to have a voice in this process by granting them a veto.
The amount of waste to be stored at the first repository was capped at 70,000 metric tons as a compromise to ensure that not just one facility would be the recipient of the nation’s waste, knowing that much more than this amount would ultimately be required for final repose in the future.
But faced with political pressures, the Reagan Administration indefinitely postponed the search for an Eastern second repository site in 1986 – unravelling a key compromise of the 1982 law. Later, in 1987, Congress dropped the scientific-based compromise process, nullified the selection of an interim site at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and arbitrarily designated Yucca Mountain as the sole site for a repository, despite strong opposition from the State of Nevada.
I ask you to put yourselves in the shoes of Nevadans.
Imagine having nuclear waste sent to your communities without your input, without a fair process.
That is why Nevadans have been united in the fight to ensure that not an ounce of nuclear waste makes it to Yucca Mountain.
Mr. Chairman, people often falsely think that Yucca Mountain is ready to receive waste. That is far from the case.
The federal government has spent $19 billion with little to show in result. There are no waste disposal tunnels. No waste handling facilities. No monitoring infrastructure. No containment infrastructure. No railroad infrastructure needed for transporting waste into the site.
All that exists at Yucca Mountain is a five mile exploratory hole in the ground to study the geology and hydrology of the mountain.
Yucca Mountain is also a national security threat.
The Nevada Test and Training Range, which is directly adjacent to Yucca Mountain, is home to 75 percent of Air Force live munitions testing, making it the largest air and ground military training space in the country.
According to Former Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson, if Yucca Mountain were to ever hold nuclear waste, it would directly impact the readiness of our military by harming the ability of our nation’s military to train for combat.
Yucca Mountain is a scientifically unsuitable site for a nuclear repository.
Yucca sits on active fault lines. In 1996, a 5.6 magnitude earthquake damaged the Yucca Mountain Project field operations center.
Imagine what would happen if there is a stronger earthquake.
Numerous studies have also found that the groundwater around the repository is at risk of contamination, affecting communities across Nevada and California.
Mr. Chairman, all we are asking today is that Nevada is treated fairly, that it is treated the same as every other state.
Congress should not, and cannot, shove nuclear waste down our throats.
All states must be given parity in order to find a solution that works.
That is why Senator Rosen and I have introduced alternative legislation that guarantees every state has a seat at the table.
Our bill, S.649, the Nuclear Waste Informed Consent Act would require the federal government to obtain the consent of a potential host state before moving forward. And I would like to thank Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works members Senators Booker, Sanders and Gillibrand for cosponsoring our legislation.
The current bill before this committee continues on an unworkable path that only delays the country from finding a solution to our nuclear waste dilemma.
So why waste decades and billions of taxpayer dollars when we can work together to come up with a viable solution to our nuclear storage problem?
I stand ready to work with the members of this committee and the rest of my colleagues in the Senate to find a sustainable solution that ensures all parties have a voice in this process.
In March, Senators Cortez Masto and Rosen introduced legislation to ensure Nevadans have a voice in any plan to store nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain. The Nuclear Waste Informed Consent Act requires the consent of the Governor, affected local governments and impacted local tribes in order to spend money from the Nuclear Waste Fund for the construction of a nuclear waste repository. The Nuclear Waste Informed Consent Act is also cosponsored by U.S. Senators Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Kristen Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).

Ring of Honor, the NWA, Impact Wrestling, All Elite Wrestling and many more promise to rewrite the old rules of business in pro wrestling in 2019 by working with others.
By Michael Melchor, Executive Editor
“Honor Is Real,” the first episode of “The Pinnacle” – the Lightning One-produced video series for Ring of Honor – debuted on November 26. The same Lightning One that revitalized the NWA now seems to be branching of it’s magic and working with a theoretical competitor.
Anyone who has been paying attention this year can see that this has been a theme in 2018. Wrestling promotions big and small have worked together, learning that there is a bigger piece of the pie to be had than if they had gone solo.
The pinnacle of this (to date) happened on Labor Day weekend. No less than five companies – Ring of Honor, New Japan Pro Wrestling, Impact Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, and the National Wrestling Alliance – came together to produce what will likely be named as the best show of 2018. A show that was promoted and produced buy a handful of wrestlers working outside of the corporate system.
We’re already in an unprecedented time of cooperation but 2019 could see the wrestling landscape explode because of it.
To rewind a bit, back to the “Pinnacle” series and the fact that the core of the new NWA is working with Ring of Honor. This, of course, is not the first time these two entities have shared a promotional space.
But what do they get out of this latest pairing involving videos? It is a very easy, and symbiotic, answer. The new NWA raises its profile by working with a larger company owned by a media conglomerate that has been in existence for almost 17 years. In return, Ring of Honor get to borrow the services of an outfit that has its pulse on what storytelling means to the modern fandom and the genius that they bring to video production, enabling RoH to fill out its content on digital channels with quality product.
Many smaller but revered companies outside of the WWE umbrella are forging similar relationships for similar reasons. Impact Wrestling has produced several “One Night Only” pay-per-views teaming with smaller, regional independent companies. Those smaller companies are given exposure to a wider audience while Impact Wrestling gets a healthy dose of “street credibility” to help them win-back fans that may have turned away. Bonus points for also pairing with Lucha Underground – a television show once considered among the hottest wrestling properties – over WrestleMania weekend.
New Japan Pro Wrestling has long sought to gain a solid foothold in the United States. What’s better way to do so then to partner with an aforementioned established company in Ring of Honor? Ring of Honor, in turn, draws a larger audience of fans wanting to see the stars from Japan up close and in person by giving them that opportunity.
Even companies like CHIKARA and Beyond Wrestling have taken this approach, most recently seen at CHIKARA’s “7 Man Army” when teams made up of wrestlers from each company did battle. Regarding the reasoning behind that relationship, CHIKARA Director of Fun and Senior Official Bryce Remsburg recently told The Gorilla Position, “I think we’re both looking to expand that sweet middle spot of the Venn diagram of our fanbases. Ideally, some Beyond fans become CHIKARA fans, and some CHIKARA fans become Beyond fans by the time this is all said and done.”
And that’s to say nothing of one of the biggest stories closing out this year – the emergence of All Elite Wrestling. Whether Cody and the Young bucks are forming their own company or simply establishing a parent entity from which to launch any product or help out any other show remains to be seen. One way or another, that Elite trio – and those who stand with them – maybe the final proof that WWE is no longer the be-all-and-end-all of professional wrestling.
The days of hoping for a big “number two” competitor to WWE are done because it is no longer necessary. In an era when independent wrestling and companies outside of world wrestling entertainment are garnering coverage in mainstream outlets, these companies are smart enough to realize that they do not have to be direct competition with WWE.
Professional wrestling is an art form that has grown to the point that the old rules are out the window, especially in a business sense. There is enough money in the industry to go around and there are leaders outside of corporate structures that realize that money can be had, especially by working together. In turn, the fans – whether they can no longer stand for WWE’s product, grow tired of the companies bloated stagnation, or simply want something different from the sport – now have plenty of alternatives to choose from.
That symbiotic relationship between non corporate pro wrestling and the fans who support it will see to it that 2019 will be the true pinnacle of professional wrestling.

Interpol have been missing in my musical mind for some time now. What I always thought was stiff dance music, much like their obvious influence of Joy Division, they have been missed in my music consciousness. Though they released an album in 2010 it feels like a decade since we have heard something great from this band.
They have lost their longtime bass player and have added a new keyboardist, but that is all behind the curtain stuff. Paul Banks is still taking the reins and even playing bass here and for it we are left with the first Interpol song I have wanted to dance to since "Evil."
They have announced their new album in a statement on June 5th. It will be called, "El Pintor" and released on September 9th. Here's the statement from the band:
It’s been a long time coming but we’re finally ready to share some new album news. We’d like to announce the release of our upcoming new album, El Pintor. We wrote & recorded the bulk of the album in 2013 in NYC and finished mixing it in London during the early part of this year. We’re very excited to share the album with all of you. The album was recorded at Electric Lady Studios & Atomic Sound by Mr James Brown and mixed by Mr Alan Moulder at Assault & Battery studios. We had a lot of fun making this record and can’t wait for you to hear it.
The album will be released on September 9th on Matador (North, South and Central America) and September 8th in all other territories by [PIAS]/CO-OP. You can pre-order the album here.
We also took the opportunity to capture some background film footage of the recording of the album. A first in our history. You can view a clip here.
All the best, Interpol "
You can pre-order the album here.
Welcome back, Interpol.
Here is the first track from "El Pintor", "All The Rage."
Reggae Rise Up takes over Liberty Park this weekend on the 12th and the 13th, so we thought we would pass on a handy users guide for the show.
Line-Up: Saturday the fest goes from 1pm - 11pm and Sunday, 2pm - 10pm.
Gates open at noon on both days. If you just want to go on Saturday the price is $30. A full, two-day pass is $50 and if you want to make the most of your experience the 21+, VIP pass is $100.
Tickets can be purchased here.
If you are wicked-smart and ride a bike, scooter or motorcycle or skateboard there will be 2-Wheel Valet parking for only $2 a day.
Car parking will be VERY limited so carpool, take Trax, Lyft, Uber, have your mom take you or walk.
If you need it, there is more info to be had at the official Reggae Rise Up page here. Oh, follow them on Facebook and Twitter as well for any updates.
Moz fans unite! Morrissey will release his 10th solo album on July 15th, but as the future refuses to allow things to be released on their actual date you can stream the new album early over at NPR.
Of course, Morrissey played Kingsbury Hall just a couple of months ago after making up for a cancelled date the previous year due to illness: his or his mother's depending on the source you talked to. He didn't play too many Smith's songs, which seemed to bother my buddy who had never seen Morrissey before, but felt he had seen a landmark rather than just show so he wasn't too disappointed.
Enjoy the stream.
From 1999 and 7, yes seven, album later, Rise Against are about to release "The Black Market" next Tuesday, July 15th you can officially purchase the album, but if you can't wait head over to iTunes radio and check it right now.
Their music slightly rusty, but in a good way and literary in verse. They are named after a keyboard shortcut. Their first single, "Fitzpleasure" is based on a novel called "Last Exit to Brooklyn" that isn't exactly family-friendly - nor mainstream. Somehow, beyond all those reasons many people found Alt-J to be something unique and interesting, which is not an easy feat these days. Pop music has taken over like weeds in the modern rock's garden.
Alt-J is following up their fantastic album, "An Awesome Wave" with "This Is All Yours" on September 22nd, which you can pre-order here.
Check you the first single "Left Hand Free" and album track, "Hunger of the Pine" below and catch them at The Complex on October 22nd. You can click here for tickets.

Previously each holy shrine of Ahmadi and Mohammadi had an independent courtyard which had been connected through Beinolharamein Bazaar.
After purchasing and demolishing the places of Beinolharamein Bazaar for development and improvement of the holy shrine of Hazrat Shahcheragh,the holy courtyard was widened. So that two holy shrine in one courtyard makes it more magnificent.
The central courtyard is a rectangle in an area of 14 thousand square meter.162 chambers in 2 stories were made around it. The master-workmen of holy shrine of Shahcheragh had finished the facade of porches with bricks and glazed tiles.
The wooden fences are made of teak wood. The floor of the holy shrine was paved with Gandomak Fars stone.
The decorative pool of the courtyard
Construction operation of central courtyard had been finished and exploited by receiving an inspiration from Islamic Art designs. Large stones of Neiriz were used in construction of the decorative pool. The stones were carved nicely in the masonry workshop of holy shrine.

senator Lindsey Graham says he will soon unveil legislation to form a bipartisan Digital Regulatory Commission to deal with abuses of power and free speech at Apple and the rest of Big Tech.
he has announced an intention to produce legislation that would require social media to get a license to operate.
Social media platforms are not licensed and “you can’t sue them,” Graham said, noting “if you drive a car, you need a license, if you sell real estate, you need a license.”
“[Big Tech], you can’t sue these people because [of] section 230 and there’s no regulatory scheme that works,” Sen. Graham said in a Fox News interview. “So I’m going to unveil a digital Regulatory Commission to deal with social media companies like Apple and Twitter and Google.”
“We need some regulatory environment to control the abuses of power here,” he continued. “So I’m going to do that with Elizabeth Warren. Social media is out of control [and it needs] to be regulated in some fashion.”

More than 80% of deaf and disabled music fans have experienced problems when booking tickets to live music events, with one in 10 considering legal action over the difficulty of accessing concerts and festivals.
The fourth annual report by Attitude Is Everything, a charity dedicated to improving deaf and disabled people’s access to live music, included the results of their access booking survey, which received 349 responses. Almost 80% of respondents said they had been put off buying tickets due to non-accessible booking systems, with more than 70% saying they felt discriminated against. Thirty-seven per cent said they felt that access to booking had improved over the past four years.
In response to the findings, AIE has formed the Ticketing Without Barriers coalition, comprising more than 130 venues and festivals, over 30 trade bodies, leading ticketing agencies including Ticketmaster and See Tickets, and event promoters such as Live Nation, Festival Republic and AEG Events.
The organisation has identified five key areas where action is required to improve the experience of disabled customers. In order to acquire a complimentary carer’s ticket, disabled patrons are required to produce “proof of disability”, for which there is currently no single system. AIE recommend the creation of a universal policy adopted across the UK music industry.
Disabled fans have reported losing out on tickets to in-demand events – such as Ed Sheeran’s forthcoming arena tour – due to insufficient booking systems only accessible by phone. Fans require all venues and events to provide comprehensive access information online, and the adoption of uniform terminology and disability awareness and inclusive communication training for sales staff, say AIE, while accessibility requirements should be integrated into standard online booking systems.
The organisation also addressed the need for disabled fans to be able to access pre-sales, VIP areas and artist “meet-and-greet” events, and for gift cards to apply to access bookings.
Suzanne Bull MBE, chief executive officer for Attitude Is Everything and a disability sector Champion for Music said: “In 2018, every large-scale music event should be all-inclusive. Disabled customers should be able to buy a ticket online, they should be encouraged to attend shows with their friends, and not have to jump through undignified hoops when things go wrong. As a disabled music fan myself, I’d urge ticket sellers, venues and festivals to understand that all disabled people must enjoy the same experiences as any other fan.”
The report has drawn support from Sarah Newton, the minister for disabled people, health and work, industry bodies UK Music and PRS for Music, the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers, and musicians including Leeds five-piece Hookworms, who commented: “As we grow as a band and depend more on larger venues and ticketing agencies, it’s essential that our shows remain as inclusive and accessible for disabled fans as we have tried to make them on a smaller scale ourselves. No one should feel discriminated against or face barriers when attending gigs or playing music, and we call on our peers and the music industry to help realise Attitude Is Everything’s vision for ticketing without barriers.”
AIE’s survey highlighted the contribution that disabled audiences make to Britain’s live music industry – worth £1bn a year according to 2017 UK Music figures – with the respondents attending an average of nine performances per year, and spending an estimated £250,000 on tickets, food, drinks and merchandise. Government data suggests that 3.3m disabled adults attend at least one live music event per year.
The report also highlighted disabled fans’ difficulties when accessing tickets across other cultural sectors. AIE intends to convene a new cross-sector group bringing together representatives from music, cinema, theatre, heritage and sport. Arts Council England, UK Theatre and the Disability Co-operative Network for Museums have pledged their support.

FIDO, the Google-Backed Password Killer
Ashley Allen / 8 years ago
Back in October, Google revealed a new USB key log-in system. The key, carrying a data fingerprint specific to the user, only replaced the standard authentication code, as part of Google’s two-step authentication, but it marks a significant step towards eschewing the typical username/password secure log-in.
On Tuesday, Google released version 1.0 of this system, called FIDO (or, Fast Identification Online). FIDO uses either a user’s fingerprint or PIN to create a unique data key that can be used to unlock the personal accounts.
FIDO support so far is sparse – PayPal and Samsung were early adopters – but the official launch of version 1.0 should see a sharp growth in FIDO-compatible sites, apps, and devices.

This is the last section, y’all. We swear. We’re just writing slightly longer rounds on our last turns, and since Part Four was already at more than 5k words, we figured we’d do this for ease of reading. Part One, Part Two, Part Three, and Part Four if you’d like to catch up, or you think you missed something. We’re touching on the theme of memory loss in this story, so please savior “fic tennis” if you want to avoid the topic.
Mapping out the scheme in his head is easier than breathing; the Doctor has been manipulating the media for ages, since the first time he and Koschei deliberately got arrested at a performance for singing profanity on live television.
He doesn’t tell Rose the entirety of the plan – she’s in on most of it, on the important bits that involve Joanie and their public appearance and the way they’re going to stage everything.
The other part of the plan, the part that involves him finding a few minutes in the far end of the garden to spend on his mobile, he’s filled with a quiet certainty that Rose doesn’t need to know. The wheels he’s set in motion, reaching out to entertainment media contacts, calling in a few favors, making sure the man who stepped foot in the garden will never be able to sell another photograph to anyone again, ruining his prospects at a career in photography, setting fire to every single bridge that man has ever built in the business.
Afterward, the Doctor jabs the disconnect button on his mobile with a grim sense of conviction, a weight of inevitability that is surprisingly bearable.
Rose and the Doctor are packed before nightfall and, at one in the morning, they bundle a sleeping Joanie into a cab and head to the airport, and the private plane Donna has arranged for them. The paparazzi have come to expect a certain schedule from Rose and the Doctor in this little town, apparently – they generally don’t go out often in the evenings, because of Joanie’s early bedtimes and the lack of readily available babysitters, so no one is waiting to take pictures of them; no one even suspects they’ve left at all.
They sleep on the flight, Joanie sprawled across Rose’s chest. The Doctor spends some of the time resting, most of the time watching them, because every time blinks he sees more of those still pictures behind his lids, snapshots of a life he’s desperate to remember. The profound instinct to protect this existence, here with Rose and Joanie, is so strong that he can only imagine the depth and breadth of happiness locked away in those memories.
There’s Rose’s smile, and the sound of laughter in the kitchen of a flat he doesn’t recognize, as he throws pasta against the wall to see if it’s done, and she tells him it only works with spaghetti, not cannelloni. There are long nights sleeping on a couch, but not alone – Joanie’s with him, so tiny she practically fits in the palm of his two hands, little bow-lips and pudgy cheeks that turn red when she wakes him up, wailing, and he has to fetch Rose to feed her. The way the wood floor in front of the refrigerator squeaks – in the flat he doesn’t recognize, the one where Rose lives with him – and he has to stand to the side when he’s sneaking extra pieces of cake before supper, so as not to give himself away.
Sound. He’s remembering sound. All the little fragments that add substance, depth and emotion to his visual memory.
In the early hours, just after dawn, they land in London. Rose is handling Joanie, and the Doctor is handling the gear, and he’s so preoccupied with pushing at these memories, trying to force them out, chasing down scent and touch and taste, that he leaves the diaper bag onboard the jet, and the steward has to chase them down the corridor to hand it over.
Donna has assured them that construction at the flat is finished, and when they step foot inside the front door, Rose makes a noise of pure happiness.
“They even put the furniture back!” she says, letting Joanie down so she can go toddler-stomping across the brand new wood floor as Rose tosses her purse and the diaper bag onto the floor in the entry.
“Smells funny,” the Doctor replies, nose wrinkled as he surveys the flat. Just inside a nearby door he sees the kitchen from the memory of cooking lasagna; straight ahead is the couch where he slept with Joanie on his chest.
“That’s just the new drywall and plaster, all the construction dust hasn’t settled yet,” Rose says, squeezing his arm reassuringly before she heads right after Joanie.
Rooted to the spot, the Doctor closes his eyes and draws in a deep breath through his nose. The scent of tea and overripe bananas should be coming from the right, through the kitchen door. The Doctor always buys more bananas than they can eat, because he knows that as soon as they’re covered in brown spots Rose will make banana bread. And the cabinet full of Rose’s favorite tea, always looseleaf, Darjeeling for morning and chamomile for evening; little specks of dried leaves were always dropping from the cabinet, as though there was a perpetually wilting miniature tree inside, the Doctor had stopped trying to keep the tea contained and simply swept the escaped flakes into the sink without thinking about it anymore.
And fainter than that, the scent of chemical deodorizers is missing, the disinfectant they use to keep the pail where they throw Joanie’s dirty nappies from smelling too foul (it only partially works, the Lemon Fresh Scent is always tinged with a hint of stale wee no matter what, even if the Doctor takes out the bin liner every day).
Sight, sound, smell. All of it trickling through the veil in his head at an ever-increasing speed, like cracks in a dam giving way to the inexorable pressure of water behind them, concrete flaking away and metal supports groaning under the strain of holding back the deluge.
“Doctor?” He opens his eyes. Rose is standing in front of him, looking up with a concerned expression. “You okay?”
Arms moving automatically, he wraps her up against his body, buries her face into her hair and breathes deep. “Good. Excellent. Brilliant, matter of fact!”
She holds him in response, arms tight around his middle, fingers curling into his waist, and laughs, her body shaking against him. “I thought you’d fallen asleep on your feet. You didn’t seem to sleep much on the plane.”
“I’m wide awake,” he says.
“I’d like to do this sooner rather than later.”
“Let’s get ready, then.”
They both clean up from their travels, Rose freshens her makeup and the Doctor uses enough product to make sure his hair isn’t flat (it’s the altitude, ironically, that seems to deflate it faster than anything else). Rose insists on dressing Joanie in the miniature-sized Ramones shirt that the Doctor picked up for her in Singapore. They hook up the webcam, settle themselves on the couch with their daughter, and begin to record their first weekly vlog.
Five minutes – that’s all – just them being themselves, teasing each other, the Doctor spontaneously singing an introduction for Joanie, charming their viewers in a way that isn’t too dissimilar from charming them at Wembley Stadium, only slightly less shout-y. A glimpse into their life, a promise to share behind-the-scenes moments from the upcoming tour, a plea for a reasonable amount of privacy in-between.
Joanie has little patience for the process, and wiggles right off of Rose’s lap two minutes into the recording; the entire thing ends with a loud crashing noise off-camera (the sculpture in the corner is a complete fatality, no amount of super-glue could resurrect it) and the Doctor lurches out of shot before Joanie can get close to the broken shards, while Rose waves goodbye and tells everyone to come back next week for another update.
He uploads the video while Rose puts Joanie down for her afternoon nap. Twenty minutes later, they’re on the front page of the BBC entertainment site, and the view count is already in the thousands.
“I get the idea, wanting to record from our own living room, but we could’ve posted the video from the cottage,” Rose says, when she finally reappears from the dark nursery. The Doctor’s sitting on the sofa with his legs stretched out onto the coffee table, socked feet on the glass, eyes closed. Lack of sleep is beginning to catch up with him; Joanie has the right idea, with this whole afternoon nap plan.
Rose plops down beside him, hip to hip, turning her body so she settles right against his chest. He lifts his arm so she can tuck her head underneath, then wraps his other arm around her shoulders. “You promised you’d tell me when we got here, so spill. Why did you insist on coming home?”
He closes his eyes and there’s another deluge of sensory memory, Rose sitting on this couch, in this exact spot, while he knelt in front of her. Nerves were ravaging his stomach because he was afraid she would reject him or send him away, because he was still caught in the throes of lonely terror at what had happened when his plane had crashed, still trying to atone for everything that happened in France.
Rose had been out that day, trying on bridesmaid dresses with Martha, and she’d smelled like new clothes; her feet were red from her tight shoes and the air conditioning hummed louder than usual because neither of them had changed the filter in months.
She had kissed him, and it tasted like forgiveness.
She had stayed, and it felt like he was whole.
There are words coming out of his mouth, words that don’t have anything to do with the thoughts in his head: “It’s more personable, us greeting everybody from our own home, with the spit-up stains from Joanie’s infant days right there on the couch behind us. The lighting’s much better here than it was at the cottage, too — we both look years younger on that video than we would’ve otherwise.”
Rose hums thoughtfully. “‘Personable’ isn’t the word I’d use for those spit-up stains. ‘Disgusting’ or ‘foul,’ more like. But you’re saying you dragged us all the way home just for some couch stains and lamps, is that it?”
She sounds amused and slightly disbelieving, like she’s fully aware that his babble reflex has engaged and he’s spouting nonsense.
He’s not that obvious, is he?
"Truthfully, I think … I think I missed it,” he says.
Her head lifts off his shoulder and her gaze is guarded, not full of the kind of hope she’d displayed when he first lost his memories, that wild fierce belief that he would snap back to his regular self in a matter of hours or days. This is the cautious anticipation of a woman who has learned to exercise restraint and patience, who has borne him and all his foibles and shortcomings, who is remarkable in every way.
Twice, he’s fallen in love with her – years ago on a blue bus, and during this last month, again, as a different man who had lost so much of himself. Even as those bits of his memory continue to trickle through, he knows with absolute certainty that given an infinite number of variations of the Doctor meeting Rose Tyler, in every circumstance, he would fall in love with her every time.
“You mean you missed the flat?”
His arm tightens around her shoulder. “I missed everything.” He yawns so deeply his jaw pops. Rose rests her head against him again, eyes still wide open, and his leg twitches once before he starts snoring.

New Delhi – Automotive manufacturers are increasingly looking to achieve greater efficiency by lightweighting. And this is as true for regional specialist sectors as it is for the makers of global products. The Indian market for small commercial vehicles comprises of compact four-wheeled vehicles, but also many two- and three-wheeled vehicles. Two- and three-wheeled vehicles are also prevalent in India’s personal transportation market. Urethanes Technology International spoke with the polymers lead for global Tier One supplier, Varroc, during last month’s Auto Components show.
Aurangabad, Maharashtra-based Varroc Engineering has been working extensively on lightweighting by replacing large sheet metal parts with polymer components, and also by introducing lightweight micro-cellular polymers and composites in trims and other body parts.
As a Tier One supplier, Varroc manufacturers components for most two- and three-wheeler OEMs in India. The company has a manufacturing footprint for producing PU foam – for both seats and air filters – across a number of its sites across the country.

The Airports Authority of India (AAI), stung by payment defaults by Kingfisher Airlines and more lately SpiceJet, has asked GoAir to pay up dues worth about Rs38 crore within a week.
The AAI has issued a notice to the Wadia Group-promoted airline warning that it may be put on the "pay-as-you-fly" mode if the dues are not cleared on time.
A GoAir official said that the issue was being sorted out.
"Going by the bank guarantee of Rs30.50 crore that the AAI has secured from us, we have an excess amount of only around Rs8 crore towards the airport operator. We have received a communication from them asking us to pay the balance amount. We are hopeful of the issue being sorted out soon," the GoAir official said.
Due to AAI pressure last year, GoAir had doubled the collateral amount or bank guarantee from about Rs15 crore to Rs30.5 crore, the official said.
The airline owes this money to the government-run airport operator towards charges relating to route navigation, landing and parking at its airports across the country.
Under government pressure, the AAI has been forced to allow SpiceJet to use its airports under extended credit. But it will probably have to write off the bulk of Kingfisher's due
AAI is facing troubles with a number of airlines on payment front. National flag carrier Air India owes it over Rs2,000 crore in just the principal alone while the grounded Kingfisher owed it Rs167 crore and now it is barred from recovering Rs230 crore from SpiceJet as well.

The inviting Grove Park historic district, just northeast of downtown, is considered to be one of the finest neighborhoods in Asheville. Built primary a century ago, the community has its heart in the past, its spirit in the present, and its focus on the future.
A Short History of Grove Park
Grove Park was the vision of Edwin Wiley Grove, a pharmaceutical magnate from St. Louis. It’s widely regarded as North Carolina’s first suburban neighborhood. The first lots were sold in 1909 in an area of curved streets, parks, and natural landscaping—an atmosphere still present today.
“This is pretty much the neighborhood as it was about a hundred years ago,” says Suzanne Escovitz, a Grove Park neighborhood resident. “The layout, the streets, a lot of the housing stock—it’s a good example of one of the first car suburbs in the United States.”
Like so many other historic Asheville residents, including another well-known “tourist”, Biltmore Estate owner George W. Vanderbilt, Grove was at once impressed with the scenery and the climate. The Vanderbilt’s estate, built in the late 1800’s on what was then the south end of town, led the way for Grove and others with similar visions to develop more areas. Along with other well-knowns like architect Richard Sharp Smith, Grove’s architectural planning shaped much of the look of north Asheville.
The Grove Park neighborhood achieved national status after being placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
In the Shadow of the Omni Grove Park Inn
Grove Park is tucked off of Charlotte Street in north Asheville. Much of the community sits just below the Omni Grove Park Inn Resort & Spa, from which guests and visitors can look out to the city skyline.
Erected in 1913 by Grove’s son-in-law, Fred Seely, the Grove Park Inn on Sunset Mountain was another of Grove’s visions and instantly became the cornerstone of the neighborhood’s identity. The stunning building has played host to a number of American presidents, diplomats, and celebrities over the last century. Today, it has retained its status and is the epicenter for an annual national gingerbread house competition featured in press all across the United States.
“For me it’s a great place to go up and grab a bite, grab a glass of wine on the terrace,” says Suzanne about the Grove Park Inn. “I think it’s wonderful to have a place of prominence on the National Register in the heart of the neighborhood with the homes surrounding it.”
Historic Homes with a Vision of the Future
The Grove Park Historic District is significant to Western North Carolina for its collection of single-family homes that represent the design and construction practices of early twentieth century architecture.
“What makes it, I think, so unique among historic neighborhoods is [that] this is what it looked like pretty much 80 years ago. And in another 80 years—this is the important part—it’s still going to look like this,” says Suzanne.
Most of the development of the neighborhood occurred between 1908 and 1938, illustrating a number of styles including: Georgian, Colonial, Tudor, Bungalow, and Shingle. Many of the homes are sited on wooded parcels averaging half an acre, with occasional size variance where some owners having smartly assembled plots over time. Time-honored deed restrictions concerning setback and building costs have allowed the properties to relate well to each other and maintain a high degree of integrity.
According to Suzanne, “This is a neighborhood that we like to feel has a past, present, and a future to it.”

Update - 2019April Amanda's Legacy is pleased to announce that we were able to gift $3000.00 to support the 'GET OUT' Youth Camp!! Thank you to everyone for making this possible.
Get Out! “Unplug to Connect” started in 2009 when the City of Port Coquitlam partnered with Metro Vancouver Regional Parks to provide marginalized and at risk youth with barrier-free opportunities for kids, 11-18, to connect with nature, with each other, and with themselves. Since that time, Port Coquitlam Youth Services has reached out to share the program with other Lower Mainland communities, thereby expanding the reach and number of youth in participation.
Currently Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Vancouver, Richmond, New Westminster, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge have partnered to allow up to 100 youth take part in this amazing unplugged weekend. Cell phones, tablets, computers are not allowed at the three day, two night camp, and neither is smoking of any kind. One youth, Jenna stated, “On Friday when we got to camp I couldn’t believe they wouldn’t let us have our phones. But by Saturday afternoon I was like, I’m soooo glad I don’t have my phone… I was able to leave all the drama behind.”
With a focus on inclusion and overcoming obstacles, the camp leaders create fun activities that challenge the kids. Participants are asked to step outside their comfort zone and try everything including: a high and low ropes course, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, scavenger hunts, nature interpretive walks, swimming, trail running, yoga and more. After two activity filled days, the third day is a time for artistic options, as well as connection and reflection where kids have a chance to share their experiences, triumphs, their struggles, and their goals. The event allows this kids to make new friends, try something new, forget about personal stressors and live without their electronics which allows their unique personalities to shine and memories to be made.
Get Out! is a powerful experience for participants and staff, and aims to be barrier free to allow underprivileged youth an empowering, fun and rewarding experience. Thanks to the Amanda Todd Legacy Foundation, we will be able to continue the event into 2019.
TESTIMONIALS FROM PARTICIPANTS AND PARENTS “I am not a social person, and I have never been. Just the idea of going to a camp like this, where I would have to interact with total strangers from around the greater Vancouver area terrified me beyond belief… I came from a country where there was a lot of war. I don’t sleep well, ever. But for one of the first times in my life I felt safe around people I barely knew and was able to sleep.” Niamh M
“It was a chance to take a step back and breathe, to relax in the beautiful nature that this province offers us and to remind us how interconnected the world is.” Karen L

Many people believe if someone records them without their permission, the recording cannot be used in court. A recent decision by the First District Court of Appeal, however, shows that is not always the case.
Corey Smiley was invited to the home of the women with whom he shared a two year old child. While there Smiley and the woman got into an argument. The woman recorded the argument on her cell phone. The video depicted Smiley questioning the woman about the video and repeatedly trying to grab her phone. It further showed Smiley shoving the woman and threatening to shoot her and their child. The woman asked Smiley to leave her home several times. The woman claimed after the recording ended Smiley brandished a gun. She then fled with their child.
Smiley was arrested and charged with aggravated assault by threat with a deadly weapon and domestic violence battery. Smiley subsequently sought to exclude the cell-phone video on the ground it had been illegally recorded without his consent. The trial court denied his request and admitted the video at his trial. Smiley was convicted of the charges. Continue reading
