Anyone have a link to a recording of the reveal? I heard there was a live stream, but I missed it.
Anyone else disappointed by these numbers? I was expecting much more.
2.7L 320hp 4 cylinder in the CT4-V
3.0L 355hp 6 cylinder in the CT5-V
Cars are on sale early 2020. Anyone know when we can place orders?
CT5-V — The first-ever CT5-V builds on the precision-focused details of the all-new luxury sedan introduced earlier this year to offer elevated road performance and an engaging driving experience.
- Powered by Cadillac’s high-output 3.0L Twin Turbo V-6 engine, which uses low-inertia turbochargers to enhance power production across the rpm band. It is rated at a Cadillac-estimated 355 horsepower (265 kW), pending SAE certification.
- 10-speed automatic transmission.
- Electronic limited-slip rear differential.
- Standard RWD and available AWD.
- V-Series performance chassis with Magnetic Ride Control 4.0.
- Performance Traction Management.
- Vehicle Control Mode with customizable V-Mode.
- Brembo front braking system.
- 19-inch wheels and summer-only performance tires2 (all-season tires available with AWD).
- Dark exterior accents and V-Series mesh grilles; unique rear diffuser and quad exhaust tips.
- Super Cruise1 available.
- Unique performance persona instrument cluster and V-Mode steering wheel control.
I was very disappointed with the low power of the CT5V. I started looking at German cars and Asian cars. Then Cadillac put out the word that there will be higher power V models coming. I hope so. My 2016 ATS -V has more power than either of the new wimps. I’m hoping for a 600 hp CT5-V+ or whatever they decide to call it.
Oh, not that it matters, but my interest in power is not for speed. It’s for acceleration. When entering an interstate highway or if I need to get out of someone’s way, it’s a comfort to have that power available.
Mark me as the third person disappointed here. I think we were all expecting a real fire breather that would top the already incredible performance we have come to expect from Cadillac V models.
Is GM exiting the horsepower race? I’ve read the reason for the lower power V model is because GM is making V the entry performance model, with a higher performance CT5 and CT4 on the way. What’s motivating this seemingly incomprehensible change is there is a lot of profit to be made on adding a V model to all the CUV and SUV models – XT6-V, XT5-V, etc – and so moving the real performance to another trim allows Cadillac to use the V name on the SUVs.
Also, notice how pretty much every media report on the CT5-V is negative, and this is before anyone has driven it. The negative press is already coloring how the media and consumers view the car, and it’s more likely the first drive reviews will be negative as a result. We are witnessing a masterclass on how not to launch a new car. GM’s media division needed another approach to introduce this car.
It’s a comfort to have that power available…and it’s also fun to blow the doors off anything else on an on-ramp.
Indeed. I can do that with my ATS-V.
Apparently all that power “intimidated” people, according to today’s report from Jalopnik and Automotive News. I’m not intimidated by a high-power car and am eagerly awaiting more details on the hotter V cars that are supposed to be coming soon.
“There was, frankly, some people who were intimidated by the cars,” GM President Mark Reuss said after unveiling the cars last week. “When we did a V series, they were hammers. … There’s some intimidation there.” […]
Reuss, who oversees Cadillac, said the company is not worried about diluting the V-series name with a lower-performance V-series model because the brand has “established” itself over the last 15 years.
Reduce HP because people are intimidated? That’s like What a burger saying “we are stopping putting jalapeños on hamburgers because some people are intimidated by jalapeños”. If you don’t like jalapeños, don’t put them on your burger.
If people are intimidated by high power, they should not by a high powered car.
This the best excuse that a GM manager can find?
Give me a break.
I don’t know how GM could possibly bungle this media launch any more than it has. The hotter versions need to be shown soon or potential CT5 buyers will lose interest.
Indeed. I had already started looking at German cars. My problem, in that regard, is that there is not a Mercedes dealer in my town. I don’t want to have to drive to Dallas to get to a dealer. I’m keeping my fingers crossed and hoping Cadillac comes their senses.
Today’s news brings a rumor that the higher power versions will be called CT5 Blackwing and CT4 Blackwing. That nomenclature reminds me of Mercedes-AMG Black Series, which is not a bad thing, especially if the cars have the horsepower to compete. That is, if their buyers are not intimidated by all that power. Dear lord
Cadillac aims V-Series at women spooked by power
I can’t make this up.
But the CT4-V and CT5-V will be tamer – and cheaper, Cadillac says.
And that’s on purpose. The company wants the V-Series to appeal to buyers spooked by the idea of a car that can chew up a racetrack.
For the CT4-V, that means a 320-hp 2.7-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The CT5-V gets a 355-hp, 3.0-litre twin turbo V-6 (which will also be available on the CT5’s Premium Luxury and Sport versions).
That’s plenty of power – but it’s not track-ready.
“It broadens the audience a bit,” said Deborah Wahl, Cadillac’s chief marketing officer “It will really appeal to women as well – and women are 50 per cent of the market.”

Culture Factors and Their Influence on Medications
Culture Factors and Their Influence on Medications
Impact on Medication Preparation
One cultural factor among African Americans is the belief that medication preparation is linked to high level of illiteracy. Hence, rather than preferring conventional medicine prepared through evidence-based approaches, the African Americans believe in alternative medications that are closely developed through traditional methods based on their religious and cultural approach to health. As a result, traditional indigenous medicines dominate the health care among the African Americans living in low-income households of New York, who prepare their medication from plants to promote their health.
These African Americans tend to avoid conventional medicine by preferring the use of traditional medications that have made them vulnerable to some health conditions. These medications prepared primarily from herbs are complemented with manipulative therapies, prayers, and ceremonies that aim to prevent some health issues. While some of these medications have been adopted as alternative medicine, others lack scientific backing. While using traditional/ spiritual healers, they avoid modern medications that oppose their medical practices. The bases of preference for holistic medication are founded on the need to conserve their traditions and the urgency to adopt modern medications in the 21st century.
Impacts of Medications Administration
The African Americans from impoverished households mostly believe in buying medications over the counter, whereby the pharmacists diagnose them. These individuals avoid the proper or prerequisite diagnosis procedures and buy medications based on what they believe to be causing medical complications. As a result, they misdiagnose themselves because they do not adhere to the required medical procedures. This medication approach is attributed to low socioeconomic status and high levels of illiteracy.
The pronounced use of self-medication among African Americans promotes health care inequalities because the dominant whites prefer going through medical diagnosis to enhance their medical health. More so, for people in vulnerable minority groups, like African Americans, buying medicine over the counter results in their lack of medical records, which can adversely affect the quality of care physicians offer.
In the African Americans culture, women commonly suffer from nervous attacks as an ordinary feature beyond their control. The nerve attack popular among the African Americans working class is characterized by screaming and sighing, losing consciousness, and falling. Despite the nervous attack being common, the men perceive that to be normal, and the victims are not allowed to seek medical attention. The women claim that men’s dominance and lack of empowerment limit their chances of getting medical attention. Consequently, these women continue to suffer from this condition without being diagnosed by medical professionals.
The medical condition facing African Americans women has continued to advance health care disparity because they cannot access proper diagnoses. Lack of diagnosis of the nervous breakdown plays a critical in hindering access to medical care in this group. Lack of diagnosis of the health condition limits treatment as the symptoms are not classified after medical tests. The problem may be attributed to depression and stress among women. The categorization of the syndrome or nervous seizures and lack of diagnostic approaches reflects how cultural attributes of some ethnic groups promote health care disparity in an environment where the U.S. is making efforts to advance equality, diversity, and inclusion. Notably, cultural issues are limiting factors that result in a lack of access to quality health care since these practices are not based on scientific approaches. The cultural practices aim to advance the interests of the powerful individuals or are attributed to a lack of health care information due to low socioeconomic status.
Two Potential Adverse Reactions
According to Marsh( 2021), one type of to medication is the dose-related reaction. The due to the therapeutic impact of the drug on the body. That kind of reaction occurs when the active ingredient adversely affects the body. The impact may be revealed through rashes, sweat, and weakness. These reactions are sometimes predictable and cannot be avoided. are common and can be mild or severe depending on individuals. These effects are sometimes referred to as side effects of medications. In case they are extreme, one may seek medical attention.
do not relate to drugs but occur when the immune system may be sensitive to a respective drug. When one becomes sensitive to some drugs, allergic reactions take place. These reactions may be mild or extreme; however, they must be monitored closely to enhance their management. In some situations, doctors may carry out some tests to explore the chances of allergic reactions. .
Issue with Adherence to Medication Regimen and Solution
According to . (2018), one of the issues with adherence to medication regimens among African Americans who lack trust in the use of ARVs. Most African Americans postulate that the use of ARVs reflects their use as human guinea pigs in control of the spread of AIDs. Thus, mistrust by African Americans results in non-adherence to medication resulting in increased health care disparity between the whites and people of color. The solution to the trust issue is ensuring the vulnerable population is informed about health care practices by professionals who share a common cultural background. Structural discrimination must be addressed by ensuring that health care personnel are trained from minority groups that better understand them and can solve their medical adherence issues.

On its second flight, SpaceX’s mammoth Falcon Heavy rocket hurled an Arabsat communications satellite the size of a school bus nearly one-quarter the way to the moon Thursday, days after NASA’s administrator identified the privately-developed rocket as a backup to the agency’s behind-schedule Space Launch System for sending astronauts back to the lunar surface.
Vice President Mike Pence said Tuesday that NASA should land astronauts near the south pole of the moon within five years “by any means necessary,” calling for “new urgency” in the U.S. space program and sounding a warning for entrenched aerospace contractors to better meet schedule and cost commitments, or else lose work to other companies.
In a major shift, NASA is considering using two commercial launchers to send an unpiloted Orion crew capsule and its European-built service module on a test flight around the moon next year, maintaining the lunar test flight’s schedule despite fresh delays in the development of the multibillion-dollar Space Launch System that jeopardize the heavy-lifter’s 2020 inaugural flight, the agency’s administrator said in a congressional hearing Wednesday.
President Trump’s fiscal 2020 budget request includes $21.02 billion for NASA, funding the agency’s ongoing efforts to develop commercial spacecraft and infrastructure in low-Earth orbit and to press ahead with construction and launch of the world’s most powerful rocket and the Orion crew ships that will carry astronauts back to the moon.
The White House’s $19.9 billion NASA budget outline released Monday would continue development of NASA’s heavy-lift Space Launch System rocket and Orion crew capsule and begin the deployment of a mini-space station around the moon as soon as 2022, but the proposal would cancel WFIRST, a flagship-class astronomy mission planned for launch in the mid-2020s.

The final Grand Slam of 2019 ended with Rafael Nadal taking home his fourth US Open trophy in what was his 19th triumph at a Major.
In the women’s draw, Bianca Andreescu announced her arrival with a stunning victory against home favourite Serena Williams in the final. The Canadian teenager may have upset fans at Arthur Ashe but there’s no denying that she’s a big prospect for the game.
Serena wasn’t the only legend of the sport who faced disappointment at the US Open this year, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic bowed out much before her and left the men’s draw wide open.
This, of course, worked out well for Daniil Medvedev, who capped-off his incredible run at the American hard-court swing with a runners-up finish.
There were plenty of moments at Flushing Meadows this year that will remain with fans for a long time to come.
Here’s a recap of some of the most memorable moments from the tournament:

Schools Chief Inspector’s Report shows hard decisions are needed
Sinn Féin Education Minister, Caitríona Ruane, has said that the Chief Inspector of School's report shows the good work being done in schools, but also shows more needs to be done.
The minister said:
"I welcome this comprehensive report from the Chief Inspector and thank him and his colleagues for the important contribution they make to raising standards in our schools.
"The report has shown improvements in all areas which come under the responsibility of the Department of Education and I recognise the work that those in daily contact with our children and young people have put in to achieve these improvements.
"I am however concerned that there are major areas which require urgent attention to ensure our children and young people are given the best possible educational experiences at every level.
"The report shows that almost one fifth of pupils do not attain standards in literacy and numeracy expected for their age by the time they leave primary school. This is worrying and an obvious contributor to the fact that one thousand pupils leave school without any GCSE qualifications. The report also shows that in one quarter of primary and post-primary schools, leadership and management needs to improve. The strength of leadership has a direct impact on the level of standards in a school and we need to encourage and support teachers to develop as leaders.
"For too long the unacceptable level of underachievement in our schools has been ignored, but I am determined that changes are needed and will be implemented.
"I have a programme of progressive reforms underway, including proposals on post-primary arrangements. This report shows the need for these reforms, which will help raise standards in our schools. Every school has the potential to be a good school and our School Improvement Policy and Literacy and Numeracy Strategy will be key elements in our efforts to help children and young people raise their levels of achievement.
"In addition, the establishment of the Education and Skills Authority (ESA) in January 2010 will see the wholesale reform of the administration of education. ESA will deliver genuine benefits for schools and the pupils they serve, while addressing equality issues in many areas. ESA will also be instrumental in supporting schools in their work to raise standards and will challenge schools where necessary.
"The number of children educated through the medium of Irish continues to grow and the Chief Inspector has noted the strengths and improvements in Irish-medium education, which makes a distinctive contribution to the educational landscape. The report also notes the sometimes poor accommodation due to lack of investment, which is far short of what should be expected. This is an area where support will need to be provided in the future.
"The Chief Inspector also notes that special needs schools, where invaluable services are provided for our most vulnerable children, have demonstrated their capacity and confidence in sustaining good standards.
"I will be meeting the Chief Inspector to discuss this important report and recommendations and have asked that copies are made available to all schools and those who serve on Boards of Governors. There is much to celebrate in education, but hard decisions need to be taken if improvements are to be made." ENDS

The most incisive guide to issues facing the American family today . . . An invaluable resource for anyone wishing to stay on the cutting edge of research on family trends.
-W. Bradford Wilcox
Associate Professor of Sociology, University of Virginia
Feminists consistently urge legislators to continue making access to contraception universal and free. The more women on the pill, the better “liberated” we all are. But a new study out of Denmark should make policymakers pause before jumping on the “free birth control for all” bandwagon.
In a paper accepted by the British Journal of Pharmacology, researchers Lene Andersen et al. study the effect of oral contraceptive use on the risk of developing glioma, a type of cancerous brain tumor. The researchers establish the background for their study by pointing out that use of hormonal contraceptives “slightly increases” the risk of several types of cancer, including cervical cancer, breast cancer, and hepatocellular carcinoma. In spite of this increased risk, however, “few studies have examined any link with risk of central nervous system tumors.” This lack of research is a concern, because “[g]liomas are the most common type of malignant brain tumors in the Nordic countries.” Previous studies focusing on the link between glioma and oral contraceptive use have shown little association, but the use of such findings is limited because the subjects were postmenopausal women.
The researchers obtained their data from a host of national registries tracking Danish cancer patients. They reduced their sample to women between the ages of 15 and 49 “with a histologically verified first diagnosis of brain glioma during 2000-2009.” Subjects had no previous instance of cancer. “Ever use” of oral contraceptives was defined as women who had taken two prescriptions or more, while “non-use” was defined as fewer than two prescriptions. For IUDs, “ever use” was one prescription. The researchers also defined “recent use” as one prescription or less taken in the past 2-5 years. Type (combined estrogen-progestagen, progestagen-only, or mixed use) was also considered.
In the end, the sample “consisted of 317 cases and 2,126 controls, which were similar for distribution of age, parity, and years of schooling.” The findings? “Long-term use of hormonal contraceptives was associated with an increased risk of glioma that increased with duration of use.” In their sample, almost 60% of the sample and 50% of the controls had ever used hormonal contraceptives. The risk of developing glioma was higher for current or recent use (Odds Ratio of 1.7; 95% Confidence Interval: 1.3-2.4). Moreover, “the OR for glioma was elevated with use of combined estrogen and progestagen (OR, 1.4; 95% CI: 1.0-1.8) and highest for pregestagen-only (OR, 2.8; 95% CI: 1.6-5.1).”
The authors summarize their findings: “Long-term use of hormonal contraceptives was associated with an increased risk of glioma that increased with duration of use. The risk estimates were particularly elevated for use of progestagen-only.” More recent use was associated with increased risk of glioma. Given “the extensive use of hormonal contraceptives,” the researchers write, “our finding merits further investigation.”
Indeed. In a world in which hormonal contraceptives are often prescribed to girls as soon as they reach menarche, studies such as these should cause policymakers to say “hold on” before cheerfully handing out more free pills.
(Lene Andersen et al., “Hormonal Contraceptive Use and Risk of Glioma among Younger Women a Nationwide Case Control Study,” accepted article, British Journal of Pharmacology [October 26, 2014] 10.1111/bcp.12535, Web.)


text:
I would love to have the space to mention every organization and individual that has already made a difference in our pet community but fortunately, there are too many to mention! That is good news. To those people and organizations, I would like to thank you for your efforts and please know that you are doing important work and your efforts are appreciated. One element of this feature story is a resource guide to a myriad of rescue related groups. The list only skims the surface but I hope it is a good starting point and you can find additional resources on our website at www.houstonpettalk. com/resources.
The world of rescue is dark, heartbreaking and emotional but it is also filled with positive stories and pieces of light that shine through. My hope is that at least one reader discovers they too want to join the fight to create a community of empathy toward God’s creatures. It does take a network to help those that cannot help themselves and every helping hand in the web of saviors is just as important as the next.
Ok, rescuing animals is hard work, tearjerking and sometimes even dangerous. Why you might ask? Because often the animals are in high-crime/low-income areas where they are breeding as strays or possibly dumped at particular parts of town known for dumping. Sometimes the animals are feral (living as a wild animal not accustomed to human interaction), have been struck by a car and are maimed, have other health conditions and so forth making them difficult to capture.
Several rescue groups or coalitions have emerged to address these stray “hotbeds” in Houston as well as city animal control may be called to come and trap/pick up the animals.
Some of you may remember one such group dubbed “Corridor Rescue” whose founder, Deborah Hoffman, was chosen as one of CNN’s weekly heroes in 2010 and was featured in a poignant segment about an area known as Corridor of Cruelty near I59 and York. Deborah was one individual that took a major step when she encountered numerous dogs roaming the area that were starving and in very poor health. (If your heart can stand it, go to www.houstonpettalk. com keyword search “help Charlie” and you will see one dog in such shocking condition that you will wonder if it is a dog. BTW – he was saved!). The situation was so dire in this area of town that anyone with empathy for other living beings could hardly stand to see this travesty and not leave with tears in their eyes.
By rallying people to the cause, Deborah and her allies created an effective rescue organization, Corridor Rescue, that not only goes out regularly to assist animals in need and secure veterinary care but they also have developed an adoption program and community outreach that includes spay and neuter programs for corridor residents (they attempt to make this as free as possible) as well as Feed Our Friends, a program that currently feeds the pets of 50 families.
Corridor Rescue is working to help stray and abused animals and one can just imagine the amount of volunteers, money and coordination (and Kleenex) needed to make this effort viable. Another group working to make a difference is Forgotten Dogs of The Fifth Ward Project led by Kelle Mann Davis.
To get an up close understanding of this type of “stray rescue”, photographer Robyn Arouty accompanied Kelle’s group on a rescue mission to Houston’s Fifth Ward and captured the day in photos. Robyn interviewed Kelle about the rescue’s mission and we share this “journal” with you on page 27.
Houston has a number of shelters with dedicated employees and volunteers working hard to save and adopt animals (see the resource guide) and those animals are available for the public to view during open hours. But did you know that there is a multitude of other organizations that rescue pets, take care of their health issues and house them in a network of homes while working toward the goal of finding them a permanent home?
These groups are often alerted to situations and save pets from dangerous situations, from owner surrenders and at times, they take pets from shelters if they are well suited to their particular program (such as specific breed rescue). Once secured, veterinary care is the next step for these animals and this step is not only costly but can require many trips to the vet’s office and care at home for a period of time until the dog or cat is ready to be adopted.
This veterinary care can include surgeries, spay/neutering, heartworm treatment and even behavioral training. This “journey to health and home” takes place in an individual’s home that is fostering the pet. Not all foster animals need this level of care… some just need a safe warm bed and food!
Almost every rescue organization as well as shelters need foster homes and by having a strong foster network, less dogs and cats will be put to death via euthanasia. Why? Because there is simply not enough space and resources to take care of the thousands of homeless animals in our city so if private citizens can step in to be the safety net until homes can be found, many more lives are spared. Most groups host adoption events at various retail locations and events around town as a means to find homes for the animals.
If you would like to be a foster mom or dad, the opportunities are endless. Perhaps you would like to help disabled pets, a specific breed, aged pets, puppies or kittens. No matter your heart’s desire, there are needy pets ready for you! Just contact the group of your choice and they will guide you as a “newbie” and introduce you to this rewarding endeavor.
What Should You Do If You Find A Stray/Lost Pet?
You can’t help an animal if you become injured yourself. Use prudent judgment; do not cause a traffic accident or endanger yourself.
• Catching the animal – many animals are frightened or injured and behave unpredictably. Stay in your car if you are not sure of the situation. Don’t make sudden movements. Speak calmly and entice with food if you have any. If necessary, call animal control (Houston: call 311 non-emergency service).
• Lure them into your car – if you have been successful in catching the animal, check for tags or take them to a veterinary clinic to check for a microchip.
• Now what? You have a decision to make – you either take the dog to an animal shelter (private shelters can refuse the animal; only the city shelter is required to take all turn-ins) or you take them home. If you take the animal home, do not expose your other pets. Keep them separate for both health and safety reasons. You must determine the animal is disease free and will not act aggressively before you can mix your pet posse with the rescued animal.
Tips For Rescuing Strays
• 1. Keep a “rescue kit” in your car (leash, water bowls, strong-smelling food like dried liver, first aid supplies).
• 2. If the animal seems to be a lost pet, post “found” signs near where the animal was picked up including retail stores, veterinary clinics; post the pet and/or search for lost pet notices on www.petfinder.com, www.craigslist.org, newspaper, BARC and local shelters. There is also a FACEBOOK page for Houston Heights Lost/Found pets.
• 3. Require some type of proof from anyone claiming the pet belongs to them (veterinary records, identifying distinct markings, etc.). Unfortunately there are people who claim to own a pet but are selling them to research or using them for “bait” as practice for dog-fighting.
• 4. If you pick up a stray/lost pet, you have taken responsibility. You must follow through; you cannot expect your friends that are involved in rescue to always step up and take the animal. They are already burdened and they may want to help, but don’t expect it and be ready to see the situation to its end.
• 85,000 dogs and cats must be euthanized every year in the Houston area because they are unwanted. You can be a responsible pet owner by spaying or neutering your pet to help reduce this number.
• Although Houston has a strong rescue network of individuals taking it upon themselves to raise money, spend their own money, save strays from the streets or shelter animals on “death row”, etc., it is not enough. YOU can also help by joining the network, creating your own rescue, donating money, volunteering, etc.
• Many rescue groups and shelters are FULL and cannot accept more animals. There is not enough rescue resources so any additional help from our community is welcome.
• Rescue animals often need extra love, attention and training if they have been through a bad experience. Be patient but also be prepared to get them the veterinary or training resources they need to recover and rehabilitate.

From the spark of an idea and a desire for the Comox Valley Arts and Cultural History to be properly recorded and not lost, has come a fascinating window into the past.
A DVD chronicling the history of the (in)famous Courtenay Renaissance Fair has been produced and donated to both the Courtenay Regional Library and the Courtenay and District Museum and Paleontology Centre by a group of former organizers and participants.
For two years the group contacted as many former fairgoers as possible by email, Facebook, telephone and word of mouth to share and collect photos and stories. The cover of the DVD proudly boasts that it contains “more than a thousand photos, videos, newspaper clippings and personal stories from Courtenay’s ‘Hippie Festival’.”
The Renaissance Fair was among the first of the arts and music fairs that are now a standard part of summertime entertainment and was the first organization to use the Comox Valley Exhibition Grounds (CVEX) for an event other than one featuring the agricultural or equestrian communities.
It had humble beginnings; the first one was in 1974 being a small arts and craft fair with a single guitarist held around the fountain at the Bickle Theatre, (now Sid Williams) and the next three took place in Lewis Park. In 1978 the Renaissance Fair moved to the Comox Valley Exhibition Grounds, (the Fairgrounds) and grew to attract an audience of over 12,000 people by its final curtain call in 1984.
The rules were simple; all crafts people had to come from the Comox Valley or Denman and Hornby Islands. They represented an amazing range of high quality crafts much the same as we see today, including for one year, a blacksmith’s shop.
The fair was true to its “renaissance” name as it introduced new leading-edge music and new musical talent along with incredible arts and crafts.
It represented a true renaissance of music and art. After the area known as the Rotary Bowl was created by the Rotary Club to accommodate the RCMP’s famous Musical Ride, the fair moved into that field. The flat field that was left provided a perfect place for a main stage. This area had been a wetland, which had been drained allowing for that crucial place for the irrepressible dancers to enjoy themselves to the fullest.
The DVD was compiled and edited by Bunky Hall who was the first electrician to connect a music stage and five coffee urns all demanding maximum power at the same time on the CVEX grounds.
The Regional District has upgraded the Fairground’s water and electrical service continually since those times as it now hosts the Vancouver Island Music Festival.
The photos were donated by fairgoers and staff who had saved them as personal reminders of the many years the fair took place. Thanks go to all those who shared their memories, both photos and personal memoirs. Copies of the DVD can be purchased for $10 each at the Comox Valley Art Gallery, 580 Duncan Ave, Courtenay. For more information please email email@example.com.

So, This year ended peacefully, not really because of the rapid growth in the number of 100 crore earning films, even demonetization failed to leave a long term effect which we saw in Aamir Khan’s ‘Dangal’. In this post we will get over some of the films which worth waiting, However the list would have been very long but it is divided into three so in this we only cover south Indian films. Lets start with Bahubali 2.
Without an iota of doubt, the final part of the two-part epic series is the highly-awaited film across the country. The film, which was initially announced to release in 2016, was postponed to 2017 due to delays in production. The film, directed by Rajamouli, is now scheduled to release in next April and will finally answer the question of the decade– Why Kattappa killed Baahubali?
The sequel to 2010’s Enthiran is another most-anticipated film of 2017. The film, which is fast nearing the completion, also marks the debut of Bollywood Khiladi Akshay Kumar in the south, who is playing the main antagonist in the film. The expectations around the film shot up to the next level after the filmmaker unveiled the first looks of the leading actors, promising the audience an epic face off between good and evil.
1971 Beyond Borders
The forthcoming war movie is part of the Major Mahadevan series of Mohanlal. 1971 – Beyond Borders, a prequel to Kurukshetra, is based on the true events of the 1971 India-Pakistan war. Mohanlal will play a double role, one as iconic Major Mahadevan and as his dad Colonel Sahadevan. Mohanlal’s another film Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol, which was supposed to release on Christmas 2016, will now open in theatres early next year.
Prithviraj’s upcoming horror thriller will also open in theatres in 2017 as the filmmakers were forced to postpone the film release date due to an ongoing crisis in the Malayalam film industry. The film, set in the Kerala’s Jewish background, is said to be the most honest attempt at the horror genre.
Actor Suriya’s much-awaited film was postponed thrice before the filmmaker finally locked the Republic Day weekend in 2017 to release the film. Singam 3 is the most popular film in the Singam franchise created by director Hari.
Mahesh Babu and AR Murugadoss film
The title of the bilingual film is expected to be revealed in January. Ace filmmaker Murugadoss is taking his sweet time to complete his maiden film with Mahesh Babu, which is the actor’s debut in Tamil. The film is said to be the 2.0 version of the director’s 2012 super-hit movie Thuppakki.
That’s all for this post, soon we will come with top Hollywood films to come in this year so stay tuned and connected, sign up for newsletter for instant updates, share maximum to your circle and thanks for reading.

New in the Biblical Studies from the CBA series!
by Bradley C. Gregory
The Psalms of Ascents (Psalms 120-134) are an important collection within the book of Psalms and have played a significant role in the history of spirituality. While scholars disagree on what precisely is meant by “ascents”, it is clear that these psalms are focused on the journey towards the presence of God, a God who is at once the “maker of heaven and earth” but also encountered in a particular place and among a particular people. This book will explore the rich imagery of these fifteen psalms to show how they nourish the search for God’s presence in a world that is marked by crises and hostility, not only in the world but tragically also within the people of God.
This collection of psalms reflects postexilic Israel’s confidence that in seeking God in Jerusalem the worshipper finds a blessing and peace that radiates out from Zion to infuse the most quotidian aspects of everyday life. The Psalms of Ascents are a summons to a spirituality for priest and commoner, the powerful and the marginalized, those near and those far, and anyone else suspended between fear and hope on the journey towards God. While this book will give readers a focused discussion on the theology and spirituality of these individual psalms, it will do so in a way that will provide a model for how the whole book of Psalms can be read responsibly and fruitfully. As such, the book will provide a resource for studying, teaching, and preaching these fifteen Psalms, but can also serve as an entryway into the rest of the book of Psalms..
Jesus' final challenge of the Gospel is for those who believe and love to "follow me." The purpose of the Gospel, therefore, is to prepare audiences to do just that.

The Staghound was a unique World War II armored vehicle - designed and manufactured in the US, but intended solely for the British army. This book examines the development of this category of armored cars and offers a detailed analysis of the extensive combat use of the Staghound in British service as well as in the service of other Allied countries including Canada, New Zealand and Poland. Usually armed with a 37mm gun, it weighed 12 tons and could reach speeds of 55mph carrying a crew of five. Since its combat debut in Italy in 1943 until the end of the war it had performed particularly valuable service in a reconnaissance role where its speed and armor ensured that it was able to extricate itself from trouble as required without additional support. The book also includes a brief description of post-war use from NATO countries including Denmark to far-off battlefields such as Lebanon providing a comprehensive and accessible coverage of a vehicle that is particularly popular with private collectors.
Steven J. Zaloga received his BA in History from Union College and his MA from Columbia University. He has worked as an analyst in the aerospace industry for three decades, covering missile systems and the international arms trade, and has served with the Institute for Defense Analyses, a federal think tank. He is the author of numerous books on military technology and history, including NVG 294 Allied Tanks in Normandy 1944 and NVG 283 American Guided Missiles of World War II. He currently lives in Maryland, USA.
Peter Bull has worked as a freelance illustrator for more than twenty-five years. He illustrated Claire Llewellyn's Explorers: Big Cats, among other books. He creates both traditional and digital art for publishers worldwide and also runs the Peter Bull Art Studio, based in the United Kingdom.
“Steven Zaloga knows what details that modeler's will find helpful and the photographs and text concerning the variants and combat are interesting...Overall a worthwhile volume and a good resource for those with a few Staghounds in the closet, I recommend it!” —Chris Durden, IPMS/USA (December 2009)
“Author Steven J. Zaloga is widely acknowledged as one of the foremost authorities on armor and has put his expertise to use in this book. Each type of vehicle as well as its development history is well covered and his writing style makes for interesting reading. When you add to it the quality period photographs and the superb artwork of illustrator Peter Bull, you have an excellent quick reference on a most intriguing subject. It is a book that I can most highly recommend to the enthusiast and modeler alike.” —Scott Van Aken, Modeling Madness (October 2009)

Bob McNair understands all about big games. As the owner of the vastly improved Houston Texans, he knows there will be two or three such events that will make or break his team's season, that will decide whether the Texans are great or just pretty good.
"His race style has been come from behind and early on he lets himself get too far behind," McNair said. "There was just too much ground to make up. Now he's learning to stay a little bit closer. [Trainer] Chad Brown has been working on that and that's [the] reason why there has been some improvement. That's what he needs to do in the Travers. Apparently, he likes that track and he is a strong closer, so I think he'll make it a very exciting race."
McNair can still get pretty excited about a horse race, which says something about his passion for this sport. From 1994 through 2008, McNair and his wife, Janice, operated Stonerside Stable, one of the top breeding and racing operations in the sport. But McNair found that the demands of running both an NFL team and a huge racing operation were just too much and, in 2008, he sold the majority of the Stonerside assets to Sheik Mohammed's Darley operation.
"It was a very demanding operation," he said. "We had a lot of employees, we had 275 head of horses, a breeding farm, a training facility, a place in Saratoga Springs. It was a sizable operation and it took a lot of time and football takes a lot of time. I also have my investment business. It's hard to wear three hats and I had to cut one of them back and decided to cut back on horse racing. But I always enjoyed it; it's a great sport."
Since pulling the plug on Stonerside, McNair has maintained a small racing operation that races under the name of Magnolia Racing Stable and consists of seven horses. He owns Street Life in partnership with Hidden Brook Farm.
McNair will not be at the Travers. He will instead be in New Orleans watching the Texans play the Saints in a preseason game. That's a clear sign that football comes before racing, but one can hardly blame him. With the Texans, he is part of a wildly popular and successful sport. With Street Life, he has a hand in a sport that is on the decline and struggles to remain relevant. He believes part of the problem is that horse racing can never seem to produce stars, which has to be done to increase the fan base.
"If you don't have stars it reduces the level of interest," he said. "I'll give you an example. Right now in New York with [the] Jets they are talking about the controversy between Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow all the time. It creates all kinds of conversation. The Jets are not going to be the best team in the league and those two players are not going to be the two best players. But they are viewed as stars and are recognizable, and that creates a lot of fan interest."
In the NFL we try to create stars, we don't handicap our stars.
”-- Owner Bob McNair
He can't understand why racing penalizes its best horses by putting extra weight on them in handicap races.
"In the NFL we try to create stars," he said. "We don't handicap our stars. In horse racing we handicap our stars. We put more weight on our best horses to slow them down and as a result of that they don't win as many races and as a result of that they're not as big a star. As a result of that there's not as much fan interest. But it's being done to satisfy the gaming interests. The emphasis is on the wrong place. Do away with handicap races, especially if it's a graded stakes race."
Street Life probably doesn't have what it takes to be a major star. But he appears to be a horse whose best days are ahead of him. After finishing fourth in the Belmont Stakes, he came back to win the Curlin Stakes and won't need to improve much to win the Travers.
For an owner with just seven horses, and only four racing in the U.S., that would be quite an accomplishment. But McNair says he's not interested in getting back into racing on a large scale. He's happy having an NFL team and a handful of horses. Both provide him with plenty of excitement, particularly in these big games.


In 2019, the levels of anthropogenic SO2 emissions fell worldwide by 6%. In only the second time ever, SO2 emissions fell in all three of the countries most responsible for emitting it: China, India, and Russia.
By signing, Bogotá and Rio de Janeiro commit to implementing ambitious new policies and regulations to address the top sources of air pollution within their city by 2025.
The New Jersey Law will require the state’s Department of Environmental Protection to deny permit applications for a new project if it determines it will have a disproportionate impact on a certain community already facing environmental or health stressors.
New research published by The Lancet and funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the China National Key Research and Development Program has found that annual deaths from air pollution in China are now below 1990 levels, having peaked in 2013.
Five years ago, in 2014, a global study on air quality trends by the World Health Organisation had declared Delhi the most polluted city in the world.
Beijing reported the lowest level of air pollutants in the first half this year since the city started recording related data 35 years ago.
The policy is set to ban diesel cars and vans made before Jan. 1, 2006, from the city between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on weekdays.
The Google Maps Street View cars will be equipped with Aclima’s sensor node which will generate snapshots of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide, among others, which can be used by scientists to combine with other data to develop air quality models.
A £220 million Clean Air Fund is set to tackle roadside emissions, which is part of a £260 million plus package from the government to improve air quality.
“The Environment Secretary must ensure that, in each of the 45 areas, steps are taken to achieve compliance as soon as possible, by the quickest route possible and by a means that makes that outcome likely.”

The Fairchild Republic A-10A Thunderbolt II, a two-seat, twin-engine aircraft first flown in 1972, became in the mid-1970s the principal close-support attack aircraft of the U.S. Air Force. Its primary armament is a nose-mounted, seven-barreled, 30-millimetre cannon that is an extremely effective “tank killer.”Read More

On Wednesday, March 20, 2016, Rethinking Psychiatry collaborated with The M.O.M.S. Movement and The Icarus Project to host our first Truth and Reconciliation Circle for Receivers and Givers of Psychiatric and Mental Health Services. In this three-hour event, both receivers and givers of psychiatric and mental health services expressed their thoughts and feelings in a structured, facilitated environment.
The Truth and Reconciliation process is complex and nuanced. Its original intent is to address power imbalances, give a voice to the oppressed, and provide an opportunity for all involved to speak their truths bravely. For those who have been hurt, it is powerful to be heard by people in positions of power; and for those in power, the transformative effect is in understanding the impact of their actions by those who have been affected similarly.
A form of restorative justice, the Truth and Reconciliation process, was brought to the international community in the aftermath of apartheid in South Africa. It has been used in a wide variety of settings to achieve reconciliation in some of the world’s worst human rights abuses.
So why did we pick the format of a Truth and Reconciliation project for the receivers and givers of the mental health system? Some people believe the parallel fits perfectly: that the psychiatric system is fundamentally a system of control, oppression, and gross injustice. Other people think there are instances of harm, but the system is mostly designed to help people. Rethinking Psychiatry chose this format because, though we have differing beliefs along that continuum, we agreed that creating a space where people could speak the truth of their experiences–on all sides–is critical for everyone involved. It is our hope that the community will then use this to effect systemic change.
The idea to use Truth and Reconciliation circles for people involved with the mental health system came from one of Rethinking Psychiatry’s founding members and the founder of the M.O.M.S. Movement, Cindi Fisher. Fisher’s adult son suffered tremendous injustice and discrimination in the mental health system, and his symptoms only got worse as a result of the treatment he received. Fisher discovered that situations like her sons were all too common. Eventually, it inspired her vision for this event. Fisher then turned to members of The Icarus Project to help develop the format and flesh out the details. Icarus is a radical mental health support and activist group, and Fisher knew that this work should not be attempted without leadership from the people most affected.
A lot of thought and discussion went into planning the Truth and Reconciliation event. We knew that we were dealing with a very complex, controversial, and emotionally loaded topic. We knew it was going to be a delicate balancing act. We wanted to ensure openness, but we didn’t want anyone to feel pressured to share more than they were comfortable sharing. We wanted people to feel free to express their emotions, including anger while ensuring that the space was as respectful as possible. We wanted to allow receivers and givers of mental health services to speak their truths, but we did not want to replicate the power imbalances and oppression that are inherent in the system. And we knew that while there were people who identified as receivers and individuals who identified as givers, many there identified as both and rarely had a chance to be open as such.
Our facilitators began by leading a moving meditation exercise and a light-hearted icebreaker to help the group ease into the activity. Our facilitators also clearly explained the purpose and structure of the group before the discussion began. Then, receivers of mental health services were invited to sit in an inner circle and share their thoughts and feelings about their experiences, while the rest of the group sat in an outer circle. Afterward, givers of mental health services were invited into the inner circle to do the same. People who identified as both receivers and givers were welcome to join both circles. We also made it clear from the beginning that it was all right if participants chose not to speak at all, and it was okay if members chose not to join either of the inner circles.
Information on healing from trauma usually mentions the importance of creating a “container” for painful emotions, pacing oneself, and using healthy coping strategies to avoid “flooding” (becoming overwhelmed with emotions related to the trauma). These principles were embedded in our Truth and Reconciliation process.
We were concerned that participants who experienced trauma in the psychiatric system could be triggered by hearing specific details of other people’s trauma. Besides, the time frame did not allow for lengthy sharing. Instead, we used specific questions as prompts for discussion to help participants get to the heart of what was most remarkable about their stories.
Our discussion was rich and thought-provoking, but it was clear that there are no easy answers. We plan to do Truth and Reconciliation events again in the future, and we are hoping that other groups that are rethinking the dominant mental health paradigm will use this Truth and Reconciliation model in the future. We are developing a manual to share. We hope we can host an all-day Truth and Reconciliation workshop in the future. Applying the Truth and Reconciliation model to this issue was risky, but the closing and follow up remarks of the participants made us very glad that we took the risk.
Here is a followup comment by a giver who was present (quoted with express permission):
I do think it was a healing experience, for me as a former provider as well as for many of the participants. I thought it was great for providers, some of whom were still pretty enmeshed in the medical model, to hear specifically the harm done to “patients,” especially regarding the inevitably traumatic nature of violent incarceration and enforced drugs as a means of “helping” as well as some insight into why “patients” might not be so excited about accepting their label and their intended diminished role in society as a “mental health consumer.”
I also thought it was helpful for those affected badly by the “mental health” system to hear that at least some of the providers agonized over these decisions and situations and were not unaware of the weird conflicts and bad effects of many of the standard practices in the field, and that some also were working on developing different approaches that were respectful of the needs and individuality of the participants.
And here is a comment from the closing circle from a receiver present (quoted with express permission):
“Providers need healing too. Receivers are healers too.”
On Wednesday, May 25, Rethinking Psychiatry will host a follow-up Truth and Reconciliation event, this time including families and allies of people who have experienced extreme emotional states. For more information, visit our website at http://www.rethinkingpsychiatry.org/
Notes: Truth and Reconciliation was first used in post-apartheid South Africa. It has since been employed in the aftermath of a variety of human rights atrocities. It was utilized in the aftermath of genocide in Rwanda and the aftermath of forced assimilation and abuse of indigenous children in Canada. Two of the best-known uses of Truth and Reconciliation in the U.S. were the T&R group formed on the 25th anniversary of the Greensboro massacre in North Carolina and in the aftermath of the Ferguson, Missouri police shooting of Michael Brown.
The history of Truth and Reconciliation in world affairs is controversial. For example, The Truth and Reconciliation Commission in post-apartheid South Africa was accused of “artificial even-handedness” for investigating crimes committed by both the South African state and the anti-apartheid liberation movement. Also, many people have criticized Truth and Reconciliation commissions for sometimes granting amnesty to people who committed human rights atrocities. On the other hand, it is also a process that can be profoundly healing and empowering for individuals who have survived human rights violations. The process can also be an avenue for people who honestly want to make amends.

Farrell Named Interim County Exec., County Board Meets To Decide Next Steps After Loss Of Allen Buechel
The Fond du Lac County Board of Supervisors met in an emergency session Monday morning, following the death of long-time County Executive Allen J. Buechel.
Buechel passed away Sunday following a heart attack Saturday evening at the age of 74.
Fond du Lac County Clerk Lisa Freiberg noted that a vacancy in the County Executive position, in the way it occurred, has not happened, not just in the county, but in the state, so it’s a bit of unchartered territory, although state statutes are in place to assist in the navigation, but they are not always very clear.
Per the state statutes, current County Board Chairman Marty Farrell will assume the position of Interim County Executive, at least until the new Board Supervisors have been sworn in following the April election.
At the April 19 County Board meeting, the new County Board would also nominate a new County Board chairman, as Farrell will not be seeking re-election.
The County Board of Supervisors will hold a special session Wednesday, March 30 at 6:00 pm to discuss the next steps on how the special election to fill the open position of County Executive will be handled.
A special election will need to occur, and that would need to happen within 77 days of the County Executive position becoming vacant, which would mean a special election date of June 7, 2022.
That also means a potential primary date could occur on May 10, 2022, and that would require all paperwork would need to be turned into the County Clerk by April 12. That paperwork would need to include the necessary 500 signatures needed.
Whomever is elected to the County Executive position, will complete the current term set to expire in 2025.

KERNERSVILLE, N.C. -- Some local YMCAs are receiving a handy boost to make sure kids attending summer camp don’t get a case of the “summer slump,” but instead keep learning skills sharp year-round.
The YMCA of Northwest North Carolina has been awarded a $25,000 grant from Wells Fargo to provide science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) activities in all 12 of its traditional day camps.
“We have a teacher that will come around to each camp, allowing kids to get hands on experience analyzing and working on those critical thinking skills,” Roderick Howard, YMCA childcare services executive director, said.
The STEM activities will take place for one week in each camp beginning June 29. The activities will be reinforced for the remainder of the summer.
The grant will help fund curriculum packets, materials and supplies for the experiments and hiring certified teachers.
“We're really trying to focus on the whole child. Camp is all about having fun and being active, but we also want to make sure they're getting the academic needs they need as well,” Howard said.
STEM week is available at each of the Y’s summer day camps taking place in Forsyth, Stokes, Yadkin, Davie, Iredell, Wilkes and Alexander counties.
Visit ykidscamp.org for registration information.

At the recent Health Summit held by President Obama at the Blair House, two Republican senators stated that we have the best health care in the world. One of them further told of two Canadians who came to the U.S. for that best health care, one for cancer and the other with heart disease. He did no mention that the two Canadians came with pockets full of money to access that best health care, nor did he mention the outcome. Even the king of Jordan came for health care, but he died and left $10 million to the Mayo Clinic. Of course the U.S.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren called on Friday for Congress to pass a law that makes it clear the Justice Department can criminally indict a sitting president and charge the U.S. leader with obstructing justice.
“No president is above the law,” Warren said in a statement released by her campaign. “Congress should make it clear that presidents can be indicted for criminal activity, including obstruction of justice.”
Warren’s call came in response to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s 448-report on his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, and his statement this week that Justice Department policy prevented him from bringing charges against a sitting president.
Mueller’s report concluded that Russia repeatedly interfered in the 2016 election and that Trump’s election campaign had had multiple contacts with Russian officials, but did not establish a criminal conspiracy with Moscow to win the White House.
It declined to make a judgment on whether Trump obstructed justice, although it outlined 10 instances in which Trump tried to have Mueller fired or otherwise impede the investigation.
“When the federal government tried to investigate, Donald Trump did everything he could to delay, distract and otherwise obstruct that investigation,” Warren’s statement said. “That’s a crime. If Donald Trump were anyone other than the president of the United States, he would be in handcuffs and indicted.”
Warren urged Congress to pass a law making it clear that presidents can be indicted for criminal activity, including obstruction of justice. She also said statutes relating to such obstruction should be amended to allow for indictment when a president abuses the powers of office.
Warren criticized Trump’s attorney general, William Barr, saying he had “acted like Trump’s personal defense attorney.”
She promised that if she is elected, she would ensure her appointees reverse a Justice Department opinion that argues a sitting president cannot be indicted.
“Donald Trump is not a king. No president is. And our democracy only works if everyone can be held accountable,” Warren said.

Share Your Story
On a daily basis, it’s not uncommon to hear in the Missouri Capitol about how you as an educator don’t care about children. How you’re only interested in preserving the status quo rather than making progress. You’re only interested in pulling a pay check rather than educating students. Your local districts have failed so miserably that the state needs to send students to private and charter schools. But most of all, the underlying message is that you really don’t care about kids.
In the past, comments like this have been reserved for the hallways or offices and have been stated by the radical fringe. However, now these comments are said publicly on the floors of the Missouri House of Representatives and the Missouri Senate by the people that you have elected to represent you. And they have horror stories to back up their hate.
The idea that educators do not care about kids dominates the debate in Jefferson City as important policy decisions like vouchers, teacher tenure, charter schools, and open enrollment are being discussed at the end of this legislative session. To put it simply, public education is under attack from billionaire funded lobbyists, Washington D.C interested groups, and the legislators they have helped elect. To say legislators are being influenced by these outside interests is an understatement. Millions of campaign contributions from multimillionaires have aided those most interested in attacking your profession to make their way into influential positions in Jefferson City.
While there are many legislators that support public education, they are becoming more and more frightened to stand up for you. They are inundated with anti-educator rhetoric. Our supporters are shunned by their colleagues for supporting you. The debate in your State Capitol is no longer about individual issues like vouchers or fixing the foundation formula. The question is whether or not educators in the public school system care about the students they are educating.
Whether they are friend, foe or stranger, your elected leaders need to hear from you ASAP. We are urging you to get engaged. Tell your story. Your stories about what you are personally doing to make a difference in your students’ lives. Do you have a special relationship with a current or former student? Share it. Did you make a difference in a child’s life? Share that as well. The more personal the story, the greater impact you will have. Districts across the state are doing phenomenal work on meeting the needs of its students. Those stories need to be told to the people you have elected to decide the future of public education.
Contact your legislators today, tell them your story. Urge your colleagues and teachers to do the same. Once you have, you can also share your story with other educators. Share your story on a new Facebook page we have created. The page is titled Missouri Educators: Making a Difference. It can be accessed at this web address: http://www.facebook.com/MissouriEducatorsMakingADifference.
We must keep these stories alive, our future depends on it.

UPDATE: Jessa tweeted about the news on Tuesday, April 21. "Ben and I are so excited to announce that we're expecting a baby!!!!!" she wrote. "Due Nov. 1st! #BabySeewald @BenSeewald"
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar weren't kidding when they said they might have 200 grandkids! Just a couple of weeks after daughter Jill Duggar gave birth to her first child with husband Derick Dillard, TLC confirms to Us Weekly that Jessa Duggar is pregnant and expecting a baby of her own with husband Ben Seewald.
The 19 Kids and Counting star, 22, and Seewald, 19, said "I do" back in November 2014 in Bentonville, Ark. As per the family guidelines about courtship, they shared their first kiss at the wedding. (The Duggars have famously strict rules about dating; neither Jill nor Jessa even held hands with their spouses-to-be until after they were engaged.) Click here to see more photos from Jessa and Ben's wedding.
After the nuptials, however, Jessa and Ben were open with their PDA, often sharing photos of themselves kissing or embracing via Instagram and Twitter. (One memorable kissing photo sparked quite the controversy among fans of the family.)
"We're definitely in love, and well on our way in this newlywed life," Jessa told Memphis' FM 100 in March. "And we're just loving it."
She added that they were "past the side hugs" and eager to follow in her parents' footsteps and have kids. "We're looking forward to starting a family, but we don't have any news to say yet," she said at the time.
She noted, too, that they might consider other ways of growing their brood. "We're looking forward to kids and also adoption is something we're really praying about," she shared. "You have to be married for two years before you can adopt."
