From his #1 hit “I Walk the Line” in 1956 to the iconic “Folsom Prison Blues,” many have known and loved Johnny Cash over the years. No love, though, seems as great as the love that singer/songwriter June Carter had for Cash during their long years together.
Both Johnny Cash and June Carter were well-known performers before meeting. Carter had been a part of her mother and sister’s music group, which eventually came to be the Carter Sisters and Mother Maybelle. She then went on to make solo music and toured with friend and star, Elvis Presley. Cash was a successful solo artist at the time.
The iconic couple met backstage at the Grand Ole Opry after an Elvis concert in 1956, according to The Boot. Presley had told Carter about Johnny Cash prior, having made her listen to his songs on a jukebox multiple times.
Despite both being married at the time of meeting, Cash was immediately smitten with Carter after introducing himself. Although June did not fall as quickly for Johnny as he did for her, the connection was undeniable. She eventually had to admit the attraction and is quoted in saying, “I think I’m falling in love with Johnny Cash, and this is the most painful thing I’ve ever gone through in my life,” as reported by Groovy History.
She then described it as being “in a ring of fire,” which inspired the writing of “Ring of Fire,” a song later appearing on both of the artists’ albums.
Cash was unashamed in the fact that he’d been absolutely infatuated with June from the beginning, and knew that although he was married, he and June Carter were meant to be together.
In the first 13 years of their relationship, Cash had attempted to make Carter his wife multiple times, and each time she denied him. Finally in 1968, Cash and Carter were engaged and soon married.
Cash asked the important question at a live show in front of 7,000 fans when Carter finally accepted. Within weeks, on March 1, 1968, the two lovers officially tied the knot. They soon had their first child together, John Carter Cash, in 1970.
As many are aware, Johnny Cash struggled with addiction for much of his life. His addiction got to the point that it was greatly intruding in his everyday life, making relationships difficult and eventually almost killing him.
Loving Johnny so strongly, June did what she could to help her husband and stood by his side through it all.
Cash continued to struggle with addiction, but he was far from ungrateful, stating, “She loves me in spite of everything, in spite of myself. She has saved my life more than once,” as she made him “forget the pain for a long time, many times.”
Not only did the famous duo find obstacles in Johnny’s addiction, but he is said to have had kept up outside affairs throughout their marriage, which was implied in a book written by their son later on after their deaths.
Cash’s infidelity led to a troubled wife. The public was well aware of Johnny Cash’s addictions, but Carter developed a problem with abusing prescription medications, which was also talked about in John Carter Cash’s book, as stated by Reuters. She was constantly paranoid that her husband was not staying faithful.
Many obstacles were placed in front of Johnny and June Carter Cash, but this only proved the love that they claimed to be unconditional and unwavering was real.
Johnny Cash and June Carter had both been married before their own marriage in 1968. Despite this, the two lived out the rest of their lives together, keeping up a both passionate and painful marriage for 35 years.
Carter passed in 2003 from surgery complications. Johnny Cash and their children were at her side. He gave a statement dedicated to his love, June Carter Cash, during his last performance just months before his own death the same year.
Before performing “Ring of Fire,” he explained that he was being overshadowed by the spirit of his late wife, and that she was there “to give [him] courage and inspiration like she always has.” Cash himself passed four months after Carter, also from health complications.
As one of the most beloved couples in the industry, Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash’s love lives on through their iconic duos and many albums recorded with each other.
The passion that burned between them will always be present in their heartfelt and truthful lyrics written and performed for one another.

The premium manufacturer of aesthetic washing area solutions presented itself with this elaborately designed trade fair stand for the first time at the ISH 2011 in Frankfurt/Main. Featuring clear elegant colours and an outward appearance of a black cube with white openings, one highlight of the stand was the multimedia Alape Brand Gate, a showcase of the company’s new brand identity which merges the two concepts of emotion and purism. As a metaphor for the connection of these two values, a pendulum with a height of several metres swung almost hypnotically between two large monitor walls to symbolise the development of the Alape products in stages of increasing complexity, starting with a point, through stripes and areas up to the room. These impressions were underlined by impressive electronic sounds providing visitors with a sensual experience, as well as a sophisticatedly staged introduction into the product range of the company by combining the clarity of geometric forms with emotions.
Statement by the jury
»The way Alape showcases itself stands out from what we usually see in this industry. The company ventures to present its approach in a challenging manner, highlighting the very essential: held in black and white with angular forms and an appearance of an almost clinical appeal, yet with a human touch and the products centre stage.«

George Santayana, the Spanish philosopher, famously wrote: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” In the aftermath of the mass murders of World War II, several state legislatures, including Illinois, voted to teach about the Holocaust in public schools, in order to prevent a repetition.
Right now, the lessons that history can teach have provoked a nationwide argument. The College Board, creators of the Advanced Placement history test for high school seniors who wish to get college credit, wrote a revised framework for their test last year. Conservatives are outraged. The Republican National Committee passed a resolution in August criticizing the AP U.S. History curriculum (called APUSH) as “a radically revisionist view of American history that emphasizes negative aspects of our nation’s history while omitting or minimizing positive aspects.” The Texas State Board of Education demanded that the College Board remove the “political bias” of APUSH.

Goode's Guide to Misconduct #1
On Sale: April 25, 2023
Mass Market Paperback / e-Book
Add to Wish List
In her print debut, award-winning author Susanna Craig launches a new Regency historical romance series, based around the daring ladies’ magazine Mrs. Goode’s Magazine for Misses, Being a Guide to Improve Conduct and Promote Wisdom among Young Persons of the Fair Sex—also known as Goode’s Guide to Misconduct—and the witty, clever, often rebellious heroines behind it, including a controversial new advice columnist. A modern twist on the genre, will appeal to fans of Ella Quinn, Sabrina Jeffries, and those who love faster-paced, innovative historical romance featuring strong women.
Serving as the advice columnist, ‘Miss Busy B.’, for an often-subversive ladies’ magazine is the perfect outlet for Daphne Burke’s outspoken nature. But when she advises a young lady of the ton, to break off her engagement to a notorious rake, the consequences take Daphne beyond the page and into her real life.
Miles, Viscount Deveraux, sometimes known as “that devil Deveraux”needs a respectable bride by the end of the Season, and he’s bet a fortune that he can get one. Now, his fiancée has not only changed her mind—but done it publicly, in a letter to London’s most infamous magazine. With the stakes high and time short, it seems reasonable to him that the columnist responsible should come to his rescue and marry him instead.
Fortunately for Miles, Daphne is eager to escape the pressures of the London marriage mart. She agrees to a courtship. But at the end of two weeks, she intends to turn him down in a big, splashy, scandal that will ruin her reputation and set her free. There’s just one shocking wrinkle: Who knew being ruined by a rake could be so much fun?

The Mediterranean diet is most famous for its benefit to heart health, decreasing the risk of heart disease by, in part, lowering levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol, and reducing mortality from cardiovascular conditions. It’s also been credited with a lower likelihood of certain cancers, like breast cancer, as well as conditions like Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. (1)

They’re also high in healthy fats, have a moderate amount of protein, and are generally low in carbohydrates, depending on the type you choose. Nuts are also portable, making them one of the best snacks to grab on the go when following a keto diet. However, before you run out and stock up enough nuts to last you through winter, you should know that some nuts are better for you than others.
Diabetics, especially, type 1 diabetics are at risk of complications if they attempt to follow a ketogenic diet. For this reason diabetics and anyone with a blood sugar management issue should discuss the potential implications with their GP and healthcare team before embarking on such a regime. Similarly anyone with kidney disease or a family history of such should consult their GP.
Ang socioeconomics ay may malaking papel sa mga saloobin tungkol sa pagkain - lalo na ang mga alalahanin tungkol sa kaligtasan at pag-uugali sa pagbili. At mas mataas ang kita ay hindi palaging nakakaugnay sa mga napiling mga pagpipilian. Sa kabaligtaran, ang aming pananaliksik ay nagpapakita na ang mayaman na mga Amerikano ay may posibilidad na magpahalaga sa kanilang kaalaman tungkol sa kalusugan at nutrisyon.
These are perfect keto snacks alone, but they’re even tastier together, says Boise, Idaho-based dietitian Emily Norbryhn, RD, who often works with keto clients. “The fat, protein, and fiber in this snack will keep you full for hours,” she adds. Mix together two tablespoons creamy almond butter, one teaspoon chia seeds, one teaspoon sunflower seeds, one teaspoon flax seeds, and two teaspoons pumpkin seeds. Dig in.
Ketogenic diets usually do cause weight loss and may improve insulin sensitivity in patients with diabetes. In fact when compared to a low-fat diet a ketogenic diet appears to achieve greater long term reductions in body weight. However, the success long term is dependent on your ability to adapt your dietary habits once you start to introduce a more balanced and healthy approach to eating.
Ay gatas pinapayagan sa Keto
Another easy and satisfying way to sneak more healthy fats into your diet is to reach for raw nuts and seeds. As mentioned in this guide, these nutritional powerhouses are loaded with essential nutrients like magnesium, selenium, and manganese. Nuts and seeds can improve your brain health, fortify your immune system, and aid with digestion and blood glucose management.
Take a 2 – 3 cups of lettuce, crumble in some bacon and dice a medium tomato. Mix that with two or three tablespoons of mayo, and toss after adding some splashes of hot sauce. Delicious, filling, full of fiber and healthy fats, and absolutely easy. I know the mayo sounds weird as a dressing, but trust us; it’s amazing! Add in some avocado chunks to boost potassium too!
Con: Results can vary depending on how much fluid you drink. By drinking more water, you dilute the concentration of ketones in the urine and thus a lower level of ketones will be detected on the strips. The strips don’t show a precise ketone level. Finally, and most importantly, as you become increasingly keto-adapted and your body reabsorbs ketones from the urine, urine strips may become unreliable, even if you’re in ketosis.
All of them are natural ingredients which help your body without ingesting different manufacturing toxic by-products or chemicals. They are normally safe for everyone, but, as for any other supplement, consult with your doctor before taking any. You might be suffering from a specific medical condition, but even if you’re not, having your blood work done before will also be an indicator of your health state. Blood work will also help you compare results after 6 months or one year, to see if anything has changed.
It is thought that consumption of a high-fat-protein diet will be accompanied by a higher weight gain. On the contrary, our results confirm that the SKMD is an effective therapy for obesity without caloric restriction. This might be due to the fact that there is a synergic effect between the high protein ketogenic nature of the diet and its richness in MUFA and PUFA. We don't have data about the percentage of body fat and lean body mass lost. Nevertheless we think that there was a more selective fat loss because we didn't observe the flaccidity physical aspect that we have observed before with hypocaloric diets, and subjects had a physical aspect similar to a liposuction, since fat was removed from many different fat specific deposit areas, including the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, waist, neck and upper arms. Our hypothesis is founded in the following statements:

It is clear that Apple definitely needs some kind of hit show if they are hoping for their video efforts to be taken more seriously. So far the company has launched a handful of shows, but it is obvious that none of them were the smashing successes that Apple had hoped for them to be, save for maybe Carpool Karaoke which was already famous before Apple acquired it.
However Apple could be looking to bring in the big guns, according to a report from Variety in which it seems that Apple is in a bidding war with HBO in an attempt to get J.J. Abrams’ upcoming sci-fi drama series. Details about the series are scarce at this point in time, but it will basically be a show about the world’s battle against an oppressive force. It would also mark Abrams’ return to TV since the “Fringe” series in 2008.
Unsurprisingly, Warner Bros., HBO, and Apple have declined to comment on the rumors. Assuming Apple is successful in their bid, especially considering the vast amount of resources at their disposal, it is unclear when the show will be debuting, and whether or not it will be part of Apple Music or if it could be folded into Apple TV. Either way take it with a grain of salt, but we’ll keep our eyes and ears peeled for more info.

The Esthetics of Disappearance (1986), 5:55 mins, Tokyo.
This work, which takes its title from Paul Virilio’s publication of the same name, explores notions of the cinematic in relation to recent global history, with particular focus on the role of the media in conveying information and events into the home via the medium of the television.
Virilio’s thesis upon cinema and temporal experience proposed that ‘with the cinematic accelerator... the measure of the world becomes that of the vector of movement, of the means of locomotion that de-synchronize time’. Notions of heightened speed and the distortion of perception are conveyed visually in the work by the rapidity of images and their intense colouration - elements that have come to represent key characteristics of Callas’ mature style.1

Saint-Tropez, in Provençal Sant-Troupès, is located in the French department of Var in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in the canton of Sainte-Maxime in Arrondissement Draguigan. In 2015, 4305 people lived there on the eastern foot of the Massif des Maures on the north shore of a peninsula. However, there are about five million visitors a year through the numerous tourists. You can only speak of Saint Tropez when fast sports cars, all the well-known luxury brands, millionaire yachts, fine boutiques and fine restaurants meet the breathtaking and snow-white beaches of the Côte d'Azur.
Celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Campell, Cristiano Ronaldo and P.Diddy also like to stop here with their luxury yachts. The glamorous place, however, was not so well known from the start. What until the 19th century appeared to be a simple fishing village with less than 5,000 inhabitants, in which there were no holiday homes let alone a touch of luxury, today Saint-Tropez is a celebrity hotspot or meeting place of the international jet set par excellence. The ubiquitous luxury as well as the glamor of the beautiful and the rich is evident everywhere in this place.
But it is also a charming little town with small, narrow streets, picturesque courtyards and magnificent olive trees, the charm of which hardly anyone can resist, once he has taken on the small harbor town.
On the French Mediterranean coast, there are only a few cities that radiate such splendor. The sunny Côte d'Azur is undoubtedly one of the most popular, but also the most beautiful holiday regions in France with Saint-Tropez. A mecca for supercar and luxury car fans, far from jealous glances and resentment. Enjoy your vacation as glamorously as luxurious and rent either a sports car of the brand Ferrari or for example Lamborghini or spend a few relaxing days on a journey of discovery with our chauffeur service. We look forward to welcoming you as a car hire customer in Saint-Tropez.
The history of Saint-Tropez
Saint-Tropez was named after the early Christian martyr Torpes, who was beheaded in the first century AD. The small port town was already interesting since the 8th century for rulers and was also of strategic importance during World War II, when the Allied troops landed at Operation Dragoon before Saint-Tropez. The hinterland of Saint-Tropez used to be much more populated, but the peasants moved more and more away as they did not manage to earn enough to earn a living.
Until the beginning of the 20th century, nothing was to be guessed at the change of Saint-Tropez. It was only towards the end of the 19th century that the first known guests such as Henri Matisse, Paul Signac and Pierre Bonnard moved to Saint-Tropez. One could even say that these gentlemen were the catalyst for Saint-Tropez moving into a new golden age. From then on, the former fishing village became more and more famous, the small port city established itself for various writers, artists and actors to one of the most beautiful and popular beach resorts and meeting places in southern France. This upswing helped Saint-Tropez to visual metamorphosis of the caterpillar to the butterfly. In the past, the inhabitants of Saint-Tropez, who wanted to reach out into the wide world, today it is the whole world that visits this famous and beautiful place. Many famous personalities helped the once small sleepy port city to world fame.
Some sights at a glance
Built in 1592, the citadel towers over the entire city and offers fantastic views of Saint-Tropez and the surrounding port cities. Inside the hexagonal, massive building is the Musée National de la Marine, which displays maritime exhibits (including cannons, swords, maps, etc) from various centuries, and which focuses on French seafaring.
Another highlight why tourists usually get there is the breathtaking view of Saint-Tropez and the surrounding port cities, which can be enjoyed from the roof of the citadel. For more information about the citadel, see here.
Musée de la Gendarmerie et du Cinéma
The Musée de la Gendarmerie et du Cinéma was opened in 2016 in the old gendarmerie station, in at that time the famous series "Le Gendarme" was shot with Louis de Funés. This cinema museum is dedicated to the story of Brigitte Bardot, inextricably linked to the transformation from the simple fishing hamlet of Saint-Tropez to the dazzling cult site on the Riviera.
In the museum is Louis de Funés himself, as well as the other characters in the series an issue. In front of the museum is a 2.5-meter-high and 700-kilogram bronze sculpture, which was inaugurated in late 2017 on the occasion of the 83rd birthday of Brigitte Bardot and shows the film legend at a young age. The illustration was inspired by an erotic watercolor by the Italian cartoonist Milo Manara.
Musée de l’Annonciade
The Musée de l'Annonciade is located in an old 16th century chapel near the port and shows mainly works of art from the 19th and 20th centuries. The focus of the art museum is on the works of artists such as Paul Signac, Charles Camoin and Henri Matisse, who worked in Saint-Tropez or painted the landscape of the Mediterranean. In summer, theme exhibitions of international standing are also offered. And if you need a bit of variety after a visit to the museum, then why not visit the expensive but nevertheless tasty ice cream parlor "Barbarac", which is completely different located near the museum.
A sight of a different kind is the Papillon Papillon. The Butterfly Museum houses over 35,000 butterflies, some of which are endangered species. At the Gendarmerie, located on the Place des Lices, die-hard Louis de Funes fans can still spot the scenes of legendary gendarmerie films. But today the place is used for a different purpose.
There is of course the famous marina of Saint-Tropez, which is one of the most popular photo opportunities in the city, especially at sunset. This is divided into two parts. There is the so-called "New Harbor" and the "Old Port" (Vieux Port).
You can stroll along the harbor promenade from one side, past sailboats and luxurious yachts, and on the other side past picturesque facades and fine luxury boutiques, restaurants and cafes.
Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption de Saint-Tropez
The harbor church dates back to the 16th century and is one of them the unmistakable landmark of the place. It is located in the middle of the old town, surrounded by romantic streets and can be seen from afar by its bright yellow-ocher-colored design.
Place des Lices
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the Place des Lices hosts a traditional weekly market, where you can taste deliciously treats under green trees, or simply enjoy the unique flair, the color scheme and the many different scents of Provence. But even in the evenings worth the visit. Because then you can sometimes watch the older French gentlemen with a nice game of boules over a glass of wine.
The Cemetery of Saint-Tropez is a picturesque cemetery right on the coast overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. It was created in 1791 below the citadel and since then (last 1980) repeatedly expanded.
In Saint-Tropez and especially around the peninsula are undoubtedly the most beautiful destinations around St. Tropez - the fabled dream beaches. In and around the city a total of seven beaches spread over a length of over 11 kilometers. Directly near the citadel you will find the small sandy beach "Des Graniers" on Chemin des Graniers.
Another and larger beach is further east. The "Canabiers" located on the Avenue des Canebiers opposite the mountain formation - Massif des Maures and promises a spectacular sight especially at sunset. This beach is known because of the nearby villa of the famous film legend Brigitte Bardot. South of Saint-Tropez near Ramatuelle is one of the longest sandy beach sections of the Côte d'Azur.
The largest stretch of coast with approximately 4.5 kilometers in length, extends the most famous legendary beach "Pampelonne" from the Cap du Pinet to the Pointe de la Bonne Terasse. The upper beach section is also called Tahiti plague. There are many beach cafés, restaurants and music clubs on the beach. The beach is actually referred to as the main beach of Saint-Tropez, although it is located near Ramatuelle. On this famous beach, the celebrities like to go swimming in the azure blue sea.
Hot clubs such as the VIP Room, Gaio and famous beach bars such as the Le Club 55, which Nikki Beach or the Moorea will take care of that that you can end a successful day in the beautiful Saint-Tropez glamorous. Close to Ramatuelle is the not overcrowded beach L'Escalet, where you can relax on the fine sandy beach or in the turquoise sea.
Activities in and around Saint-Tropez
The many fashionable boutiques of the luxury brands make it worthwhile to go on an extensive shopping tour in Saint-Tropez. Especially during the "Grande Braderie de Saint-Tropez" at the end of the season in September and October, the luxury boutiques attract with big discount promotions. Almost as popular are the well-known "Sandales tropéziennes", which are typical of the port city.
Good food is also part of a nice holiday in Provence. And so, in Saint-Tropez and the surrounding area, there are many restaurants and cafes that are worth a visit, such as the "La Maison des Jumeaux", "La Vague d'Or", "Le Sporting Bar", where you can meet many locals, and "Le Pomme de Pin", a few minutes drive from Saint-Tropez, where you can enjoy not only fresh fish and wine, but also a breathtaking sunset on the nearby beach.
Hiking and cycling
The area around Saint-Tropez is ideal for hiking. In the center of the sports car off, an ice to cool down and off you go. The surrounding area is a hilly, varied landscape, originally with vineyards and rocky sections. You can wander the entire peninsula along the coast or head for the individual caps such as Cap Camarat, Cap Taillat or Cap Lardier.
If you like, the area around Saint-Tropez can also be explored in a convertible with the sports car or the pleasant sea climate. So that your hikes are perfect, we have created a checklist for the hiking holiday in Provence.
Of course, because of its proximity to the sea, Saint-Tropez is also suitable for those who enjoy water sports. Whether swimming, wind- and kitesurfing or sailing, there are many possibilities. At Phoenix GT Watersports you'll find a wide selection of the latest water sports equipment. For further information please click here.
In addition to the sights that are worth a visit throughout the year, there are also many traditional festivals and events that take place regularly. The locals attach great importance to their traditions and culture not to be forgotten. Particularly popular is the folk festival in honor of the patron saint Martyrs Torpes, which is celebrated every year from 16 to 18 May with a huge march and costumed sailors. Also popular is the annual, held in late summer sailing competition, which is a must for all avid water sports enthusiasts.
The coastal town is not only known for its celebrities, but also through numerous films and the eponymous television series "St. Tropez - Sous le Soleil ", which has been on television since the late 1990s. The films with Louis de Funes as gendarme Ludovic Cruchot, which were shot and played here in St-Tropez, have contributed to the hype surrounding Saint-Tropez.
Another media figurehead is Brigitte Bardot and the works with Gunter Sachs. The film "... and always lures the woman", which was filmed in St-Tropez, Brigitte Bardot overnight became an international star. Since broadcasting the Geissens on German TV, the place is also becoming more and more famous in the DACH region, Switzerland, Austria and Germany.
Saint-Tropez tends to be more temperate with less rainfall. The climate is temperate with an average annual temperature of 14.8 degrees. Most rainfall in the year, there are in November, the least in July. However, it comes in the summer due to the sometimes prolonged drought in the environment around the port city on the Gulf of Saint-Tropez between Toulon and Cannes again and again to serious forest fires. Partly locals and tourists have to be evacuated.
Due to the large number of tourists, especially in the summer to Saint-Tropez, you need a lot of patience, especially in the high season. Although Saint Tropez is not directly connected to a motorway, there is nothing to get in the way of a car. Unfortunately, from the junction and roundabout only one street leads to the center of Saint-Tropez, which often causes traffic jams, but with a rental car convertible or sports car from our fleet, the slow progress is good to survive. Theoretically, one could abbreviate this route, but many streets in the villa area are locked and passable only with ID.
Saint-Tropez Airport is located at La Mole, 15 km southwest of the city. However, the airport is mainly served by private aircraft. The international connection is mainly secured via Nice airport, which is about 1.5 hours away. During summertime, a helicopter service to Nice airport is offered.
The arrival by private yacht is of course also possible. Conclusion: With the right rental car from our fleet not only makes the journey fun, but opens the same entrance and a warm welcome to many trendy clubs.
Not far away from St-Tropez lies the hillside town of Gassin, which can be reached by a short sports car ride through the embedding natural landscape, surrounded by classic French vineyards.
From the charming town you get a very nice view of the Massif des Maures with its cork oak forests and olive trees as well as the vines of the rosé wines that are grown here. The place is particularly charming with its charm of a small Provencal village with narrow streets and partly medieval architecture. Here you can relax from the hustle and bustle on the beach and enjoy his glass of red wine in peace with a great view into the distance.
A trip to the beautiful lagoon Port Grimaud is always worth a visit. The lovely little village, criss-crossed by waterways running through small boats, where many apartments and villas are built, makes the place look like a reflection of Venice in Italy.

You Need To Go On A Cruise!!
Those of you who have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to go cruising already know what a wonderful experience a cruise can be. Indeed, it's more than likely that you probably rate every vacation you take now against the standard set by your cruise.
Even if you've never been on a cruise the chances are that you've thought of taking one. Unfortunately, deciding to go on a cruise is the easy part. After that you will have a number of important decisions to make to ensure that you pick the perfect cruise for you.
The most important decision you will face after you decide to go on a cruise is where you want to go. When people think of cruises they usually think of the big cruise ships in the Caribbean. Just imagine all that deep blue water and the sun shining down while you sit on the deck and enjoy cocktails. Ahhhh nice! And while that can be a lot of fun, you should keep in mind that you can go on cruises to almost any part of the world. Take a cruise through the Panama Canal, around the Indian Ocean, or follow the western coast of Africa into the Mediterranean.
Keep in mind that you are not just picking which part of the ocean you'd like to see. Almost all cruises will allow you to make side trips inland when the ship stops at a port of call. This can be either on your own or as part of an organized tour group. If you have always wanted to visit Australia, try combining a trip to Australia with a cruise around the Pacific Ocean.
You should also make sure that you can find a cruise that will give you the experience you want. Obviously, a small cruise ship touring around the coast of Alaska will result in a very different experience from a large cruise ship meandering leisurely around the Mediterranean. While there are major differences in the cruising experience, this is not just about picking the right kind of climate for your trip. If you are looking for all night parties and poolside drinks, go on the Mediterranean cruise. If you want a more relaxed trip, curled up under blankets and whale watching, go on the Alaskan cruise.
You should also remember that certain cruise lines focus on different types of customers. There are cruise ships that will cater to those who want to spend all night drinking and dancing, there are cruise ships that focus on retirees and there are cruise ships that cater to a variety of tastes. Families should look for family-friendly cruises. These family-friendly cruises will have children's activities and places for teenagers to hang out. The Disney Cruise line specializes in family style cruising.
The level of service you will receive is the biggest factor in your final price. If you are on a tight budget, avoid the high end luxury cruise. Instead go with a premium or even mainstream cruise. The location and size of your cabin will also make a difference. If you are really tight for cash, take a small cabin on the inside of the ship. While your food and cabin may not be as grand as fellow passengers on the exclusive decks, you will at least still be able to afford the airfare home. And you will have the same experiences as the higher paying passengers.
If you can afford it, feel free to treat yourself with a luxury cruise and enjoy all the amenities that come along with staying at a fancy hotel. Except this hotel goes to many different and exotic places!!
While cruises are often all-inclusive, there are a number of things you should confirm before leaving home. First make sure that the cruise ship is aware of any special dietary or smoking restrictions. If your cruise ship will be coming into port, inquire if you need to book any shore excursions in advance. And most importantly, ensure that you have a way to get to the starting point and back again when the cruise is over. Some cruises do not end at the same port that they departed from. Ending a wonderful cruise by being stranded at the ship's last port of call is not the best way to enjoy your holiday! Spending a few days in the last port of call before returning home will top off the perfect end to the perfect vacation. Happy cruising!

A company that wanted to build a warehouse at the corner of Schoeneck and Alburtis roads in Lower Macungie Township has taken its fight to the courts.
Vertek Construction Management LLC appealed Lower Macungie commissioners’ decision not to approve the company’s request for a conditional use permit. The company filed the land use appeal in Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas on Aug. 10.
The conditional use permit Vertek sought would have allowed it to build a warehouse facility on a 13-acre property at 3263 Schoeneck Road. The property is used to store industrial and commercial equipment and debris, according to township documents.
On July 19, commissioners unanimously turned it down. They said Vertek failed to show that the proposed use would be in the best interest of the township, suitable for the property or suitable for traffic flows, according to their written denial.
In its appeal, Vertek attorney James Preston describes a lengthy review process, in which township staff spent more than 18 months reviewing and commenting on its warehouse plans. The company submitted nine plans based on concerns and requests made from township staff and committees, shrinking its original proposal of a 210,000-square-foot building to a 180,000-square-foot building.
The final proposal called for building a facility with 24 dock doors that would operate all day and night. It was to be built speculatively, so there was no company identified to use the facility.
That proposal was the subject of four public hearings. Witnesses representing Vertek and the township sparred over whether the development had enough truck parking spaces, whether it would severely impact traffic, whether the lot’s design allowed for enough space for trucks to back into parking spaces and whether the design included enough landscaping to prevent the facility from becoming an eyesore to neighbors.

Leading local stories delivered on weekday mornings
Vertek alleges Mark Cappuccio, the attorney commissioners hired to represent Lower Macungie, “contradicted the written direction from the Township’s planner, engineer, zoning officer, fire professionals, etc. generated during the Review Period.”
The company argues township officials denied the company meaningful opportunities to rebut the testimony of witnesses who spoke on behalf of Cappuccio and the township. The township “committed errors of law” in its denial, Vertek alleges. Preston did not return requests for comment.
Township solicitor Peter Lehr said he expected Vertek to file the appeal, which he described as “limited in scope.” He said the township had adequate grounds not to allow some testimony during the permit proceedings.
“Frankly, we had four hearings on it,” Lehr said. “We did give them adequate opportunity to present their case and afforded them more than equal opportunity to answer any questions they wanted.”

From AVIASHIMA TOOM, MakurdI
STAKEHOLDERS in Benue State no longer ponder on why Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, was led by two senators from the state, George Akume and Barnabas Gemade, representing the North West and East Senatorial districts, respectively, to pay an impromptu visit to President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa.
The visit took place on the eve of the sitting of the Court of Appeal, Makurdi Division, when the court is expected to deliver judgment on the appeal filed before it by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governorship Candidate in Benue State in the 2015 elections, Prince Terhemen Tarzoor, challenging the judgement of the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in the state which dismissed his petition against the return of Samuel Ortom as winner of the April 11, 2015 election.
While the reason for the visit was overtly indicated by the visitors to be a canvassing for more appointments for the state’s indigenes in the Buhari administration, the covert motive for the visit and their likely implications for the building of greater bonds of unity and deepening of democratic culture in the state may not be lost on keen watchers of the politics of the state, especially, against the backdrop of the struggle for control of the political space between the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition PDP.
Many people have been suspicious of the stated reason of the Akume-led visitors to Aso Rock that they went searching for more federal appointments for Benue sons and daughters, considering that the three political leaders are Tiv without at least any one from the predominantly Idoma populated South Senatorial District, if the mission was to represent the interest of that part of the state as well. The implication here is that the skewed composition of the missionaries invariably presupposes that the mission, itself, was flawed from inception. In addition to all political calculations, many stakeholders in Benue are of the view that the visit to President Buhari at a tiem very close to the judgment of the Appeal Court was to save Ortom’s job and protect the Tiv hegemony in the state.
The President of Benue Youth Agenda, (BYA), Anbua Timothy, in a statement, noted that a more serious flaw in this visit is the impression it foists on Ortom as being on a mainly Tiv ethnic agenda when he is supposed to be, by his status as governor, a father to all sections and parts of the state, working at all times to build bridges of peace, unity, co-operation and equality of all citizens of the state regardless of tribe and faith. “By choosing a totally sectional delegation to a visit which aspires to such a broad mission, Ortom has exposed his chronic lack of grasp and appreciation of the intrinsic balance component sensitivities of the state he is ruling,” Anbua argued.
He emphasized that it is such a pretentious and shallow claim as to the reason for that visit that has made it inevitable for keen watchers of political events in the state to search a bit more deeply for the likely hidden motives to this August visit by these goons of the ruling party.
“In this regard, the clandestine visit in the night by Ortom and the two senators to President Buhari on the eve of the Tribunal judgement in the petition against his victory by the PDP candidate, Prince Terhemen Tarzoor, readily comes to mind, as the following morning, the tribunal which was slated to have commenced sitting by 9.00 am delayed its sitting inexplicably for over two and a half hours, to sit at 11.27 am after which it delivered a judgment dismissing Tarzoor’s petition in a manner that left everyone wondering as to what the basis for its action was,” Anbua declared.
He contended that it is, therefore, a coincidence too strong to ignore that those three APC leaders in the state have chosen, of all days, to visit Aso Rock on the eve of the sitting of the Appeal Court in Makurdi to entertain the appeal by Tarzoor against the Tribunal judgement in favour of Ortom. Moreover, following the recent judgement of the Governorship Election Tribunal for Taraba State which ran contrary to that given in Benue in a matter with similar particulars, it is expected that Ortom and his godfather, Akume, will very likely get desperate, he remarked.
The Anbua admonished that President Buhari should be aware that already the ordinary people in the country are beginning to perceive him as being willing to bend to the whims of certain entrenched powers, adding that the triumvirate of Akume, Ortom and Gemade fit this bill of a cabal determined to pay any price, including, sacrificing the wellbeing and sustainability of the democratic process in its entirety to protect their narrow and selfish interests.
According to Anbua, “the Nigerian president must be reminded that his credential as being incorruptible is seriously being put to question with his rather curious intervention in the litigations being pursued against Ortom by Right Hon. Emmanuel Jime, who was challenging the emergence of the governor as the candidate of the APC over other aspirants, a matter which was already well advanced in the law courts, but was suddenly withdrawn for the publicly stated reason that Buhari had instructed the litigants to withdraw the suit.”
Many stakeholders in the state are of the view that the contradiction in President Buhari’s intervention to save Ortom from Jime is highlighted by the fact that between 2003 and 2011, Buhari had pursued litigations in all lost elections to the Supreme Court, rejecting vehemently all entreaties from traditional rulers as well as prominent Nigerians to concede defeat. On what basis, they asked, did Buhari consider it expedient to stop another man from pursuing the same course he has always taken in his electoral contests over the years?

Like everything else, COVID-19 casts a long shadow over state government.
S.C. Board of Economic Advisors
On August 24 all eyes will be on the S.C. Board of Economic Advisors which will report on COVID-19’s impact on the economic well-being of the state and offer the revenue forecasts that the General Assembly will use in building the budget for fiscal years 2021 and 2022.
The State Budget and… the State Budget
This is where it gets a bit confusing. Typically, the budget is approved by the beginning of the fiscal year, which begins July 1. Because of COVID-19 the General Assembly has not yet finalized a state budget for this current year (FY 2021), which they’ll do in September. The legislators will then come back in January to start the process all over again for FY 2022. The numbers look okay for FY 2021, although that $1.9 billion in extra funds reported at the start of the session in January has all but disappeared – considering the massive deficits other states currently face, South Carolina is in a relatively strong position. The concern is for FY 2022 which won’t have that big of a financial cushion.
As mentioned, the General Assembly is scheduled to reconvene in September to address the state budget and appropriate the remaining $600 million at the state’s disposal from the CARES Act, which must be spent by December 31.
Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund (GEER)
Speaking of the CARES Act, any spending of the $48.5 million in the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Fund is on hold until the resolution of the court case to decide the legality of the governor’s SAFE Grants for low-income students attending private K-12 schools. The governor had announced he would spend $32 million on the program, but the lawsuit claims the South Carolina Constitution prohibits public funds from being given to religious or other private educational institutions.
The case is perplexing because the S.C. Constitution clearly permits the funding of aid to students attending private institutions.

Kia Lucky Motor Corp. (KLMC) has finally launched a new variant of its popular Sportage SUV in Pakistan. Dubbed ‘Black Limited Edition’ by the company, it is the new range-topping variant in the Sportage lineup.
The company held an exclusive unveiling for its customers and industry analysts on Sunday evening in major cities across Pakistan. There, the company discussed the “upgrades” that people get with the new Sportage variant.
As per the details shared by the company, the ‘Black Edition’ is merely an appearance package. Also, the Black Edition is only available with an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) powertrain configuration. Here’s what’s new in the new variant:
- Gloss black front grille
- 19″ gloss black alloy rims
- Gloss black rear scuff-plate
- Dark-Satin mouldings
- Darkened Kia, Sportage, and AWD emblems
- All-black leather-wrapped interior
The main features and performance figures of the new variant are the same as the standard Sportage. According to the company, this variant will have a limited production run of up to one year.
While the new variant certainly looks great, it is priced a bit too high compared to some of its rivals. Kia has priced the Sportage Black Edition at a jaw-dropping Rs. 9.05 million.
Compared to it, SUVs like MG HS and Hyundai Tucson seem like a much better value for money. Although, given Sportage’s general popularity, the Black Edition might just turn out to be a big hit.

Clinical efficacy of a 308 nm excimer laser for treatment of psoriasis vulgaris.Photodermatol Photoimmunol Photomed. 2007 Dec; 23(6):238-41.PP
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a 308 nm excimer laser for the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris patients.
Forty subjects with psoriasis vulgaris (26 macular type, and 14 chronic plaque type) were treated by a 308 nm excimer laser. The initial dose was based on multiples of a predetermined minimal erythema dose, while the subsequent doses were adjusted on the response to the intervention, which was twice per week for a total of 15 treatments. The therapeutic efficacy and safety were then evaluated.
Of the 40 patients who received and completed the entire 15 times of laser radiation, (1) the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score was improved by 90.19+/-10.12% and 77.34+/-17.04% in macular type and chronic plaque type, respectively (P<0.05) and (2) the average treatment sessions were 13.7 times. The average cumulative doses for all patients were 6.86+/-2.48 J/cm(2), in which it was 5.64+/-1.86 J/cm(2) for macular type and 9.13+/-1.80 J/cm(2) for chronic plaque type, respectively (P<0.05).
Our clinical data suggest that treatment of psoriasis vulgaris by a 308 nm excimer laser is effective and safe, and it is more efficacious in macular type than in chronic plaque type.

Will they or won’t they? Can they or can’t they?
Those two questions seem to be the overriding theme of the day, and whichever query that you think can be answered the easiest will probably determine where you should put your money over the next several months.
First and foremost, let’s understand that the word “investment” has simply become another word for “gambling.”
Historically, an investment was made after a well-researched effort had been performed by the investor.

Drugs have their own energetic properties and are classified as cold, hot, warm and dispersing in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
It’s amazing! Drugs can be yin or yang and have energetic effects on your body!
Each drug has its own energetic property and can change the yin and yang balance within the body.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory uses the Eight Principles as its core concept:
Thus from the Eight Principles theory we can assess drugs using this model, mainly whether the thermal nature of the drug as this is most general.
A medical doctor does not consider the energetic response caused by the drug nor the energetic nature of the illness. Drugs which move the energy of the patient’s condition towards this balance seem to assist in the symptoms but do not guarantee that no adverse effects or damage to the body will occur. Drugs do not treat the root cause of the illness (ben) and tend to the suppression of the symptom (biao).
TCM treatment aims to balance the yin and yang of the patient.
The main classifications of drug energetic properties are:
Cold Drug e.g. A person with a hot condition (full-heat) such as fever, inflammation and infection (e.g. meningococcal disease) will be prescribed a cooling drug such as amoxycillin (antibiotic) which is cold and bitter.
Another Cold Drug. e.g. yin deficiency causing hypertension is treated with beta blockers which have a cold nature.
Hot Drug. e.g. A person with a cold condition (yang deficiency) such as hypothyroidism where the metabolic functions of the body slow down can be prescribed with a hot drug such as Thyroxine.
Warm & Dispersing. e.g. A person with a wind-cold like head cold or the flu taking aspirin to warm the cold and disperse.
What physical changes happen in the body when drugs are given, and where do you find these changes?
When a patient takes drugs, it affects the TCM diagnosis as the pulse and tongue will change along with the balance of yin and yang. Other physical changes will occur with the presenting signs and symptoms.
For example, a patient given codeine for diarrhoea will find that they may get constipation and the CNS has affected the Large Intestine for bowel motions.

The 2021-2022 high school season came to an end last weekend with the crowning of girls state champions in Michigan and Wisconsin.
While the results in those states helped shape the final Spring FAB 50 order, the No. 1 spots already were locked down — and it’s another Georgia sweep. Girls juggernaut Westminster Schools (Ga.) finishes atop the FAB 50 for the second straight year. Led by a powerhouse lineup that includes players committed to programs such as North Carolina, Virginia, Georgetown and Georgia, Westminster claimed its seventh straight state title.
Westminster’s confirmation at No. 1 couples with Harrison’s (Ga.) top billing on the boys rankings, giving Georgia a second straight FAB 50 title sweep. Last year, Dalton (Ga.) and Westminster (Ga.) girls finished No. 1.
The boys rankings have been long finalized as the boys season ends before the girls. Johnson (Ga.) finished No. 2, followed by Langley (Va.), Woodward Academy (Ga.) and Lassiter (Ga.).
In the girls rankings, Westminster Schools finished ahead of Colorado powers Grandview and Valor Christian with St. Thomas Aquinas (Kan.) at No. 4 and Briar Woods (Va.) at No. 5.

Checked the hose above the icemaker to see if water was frozen. Ran the freezer at a lower temp to see if lines would unfreeze. Took a wild guess that a component was broken in the icemaker, but it was cheaper to get the entire assembly anyways. Removed about 4 screws under icemaker, disconnected icemaker, jiggled and slid the icemaker and tray out, traded out icemaker assemblies, and put it all back, probably took 10-15 mins, and it made ice again!

President Biden mused that the so-called MAGA Republican movement may actually be anemic, but is still dangerous.
“I think that this is the last gasp or maybe the first big gasp of the MAGA Republicans. And I think Trump has concluded that he has to win,” Biden told ProPublica in an interview released Sunday.
Interviewer John Harwood asked Biden if the threat to democracy could be smaller than feared due to the lack of violence in the 2022 midterm elections.
“I think the opposite thing is happening, John,” Biden said.”[Trump] will pull out all the stops. I mean, the quotes he uses are just — I never thought I’d hear a president say some of the stuff he say.”
Last Thursday, Biden delivered an address warning about the state of US democracy — his fourth speech on the topic, according to the White House.
Biden alleged that “Trump and the MAGA Republicans are determined to destroy American democracy” and sharply rebuked “extremists in Congress” who want to “burn the place down.”
His speech took place in the purple state of Arizona, where the Biden campaign hoped to fortify its gains there during 2020 election.

The clock is striking midnight for a lot of the Cinderella teams. While the Maple Leafs, Flames and Blackhawks are all clinging strongly to their playoff hopes, teams like the Thrashers and Devils have succumbed to the harsh reality of mediocrity in the NHL.
The Devils built themselves too big a hole to climb out of, and the Thrashers simply didnt have enough firepower, experience and defense depth to push the team over the top into the playoffs.
The Leafs are the most interesting study given how pathetic they were halfway through the year and how closely theyre nipping at the heels of teams like the Rangers and Sabres and Brian Burke has already expressed the requisite pride for his scrappy hockey club. Given the desperation theyve been playing with, the Sabres, Leafs or Hurricanes should all be looked at as most dangerous should they somehow sneak into the playoff tournament. Should be interesting to watch.
Without further ado, here are this weeks power rankings:
1. Vancouver Canucks (52-18-9, last week: 1): The Canucks are ready to buck the odds and attempt to become only the eighth team in the last 29 years to win both the Presidents Trophy and Stanley Cup in the same season.
2. Washington Capitals (46-22-11, last week: 3) Thirty goals and 81 points in an off season for Alex Ovechkin. Not too shabby for Ovie or for the Capitals.
3. Detroit Red Wings (46-23-10, last week: 4) The Wings have qualified for the playoffs in 20 consecutive seasons the longest running current streak in any of the four major sports. That is organizational excellence at its finest.
4. Philadelphia Flyers (46-22-11, last week: 2) The Flyers are 6-7-5 since Feb. 24 and have gone into an extended malaise as the top dogs in the East. Its difficult to turn the switch back on for anyone, and that may hurt the Flyers badly once the postseason hits.
5. San Jose Sharks (46-23-9, last week: 6) Joe Thornton is three points away from 1,000 in his NHL career, which will mean exactly nothing once the playoffs start for the Sharks.
6. Boston Bruins (44-23-11, last week: 7) The Bruins are as ready for the playoffs as theyre ever going to be. Nathan Horton has shown a good combination of offense and nastiness for the last month.
7. Pittsburgh Penguins (46-25-8, last week: 5) No Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin and 336 man games lost to injury, but the Penguins keep on trucking. Its impressive, but itd be shocking if theres much left in the tank come playoffs.
8. Tampa Bay Lightning (44-24-11, last week: 11) The Bolts are putting together a winning streak to end the season, and cap off their first playoff campaign since 2007.
9. Los Angeles Kings (45-27-6, last week: 8) Its going to be awfully difficult to replace Anze Kopitar, who put up 73 points in 75 games before he broke his ankle.
10. Phoenix Coyotes (42-25-12, last week: 10) The Desert Dogs are getting a brief late-season respite, and will end their regular season with a big home-and-home series against the Sharks. Phoenix continues to be a team flying under everyones radar.
11. Nashville Predators (42-26-11, last week: 9) Barry Trotz is all-mighty and all-powerful. That is all.
12. Chicago Blackhawks (42-28-8, last week: 14) The Blackhawks look like theyre in for the postseason, but theyve never truly pushed past the Stanley Cup hangover. Difficult to see a long run from the Hawks this spring.
13. Anaheim Ducks (44-30-5, last week: 13) Corey Perry is on fire with 15 goals in the month of March, and is looking to be the first Anaheim player to lead the league in goals since Teemu Selanne in 1998-99. The Ray Emery comeback has really save the team.
14. Buffalo Sabres (40-29-10, last week: 15) The Sabres lost Ryan Miller to injury at the worst possible time, but not even that has slowed their momentum as they finish in incredibly strong fashion.
15. Montreal Canadiens (42-30-7, last week: 18) Breaks my heart to see the Montreal fans all over Scott Gomez. Really, it does.
16. New York Rangers (42-32-5, last week: 12) The Rangers are hanging around and came away with a huge win over the Flyers. They missed the playoffs by a shootout loss last season, and are hoping to avoid that fate this time around.
17. Dallas Stars (39-28-11, last week: 16) The Stars are 0-3-3 in their last six games and all of their offensive players have slumped at the exact same time. Looks like the bubble is bursting.
18. Calgary Flames (40-29-11, last week: 17) Jarome Iginla became the 77th player in NHL history to crack 1,000 career points while willing his team to a vital victory. Calgary may miss the playoffs, but it wont be Iginlas fault.
19. Carolina Hurricanes (38-30-11, last week: 20) It might not be the 'Canes' year after they couldnt pull out a pivotal game at home against the Sabres team just ahead of them. Carolina is a little green for the playoffs.
20. Toronto Maple Leafs (37-32-10, last week: 19) Nikolai Kulemin, Mikhail Grabovski and Phil Kessel could all be 30-goal scorers for the Leafs this season. They have the building blocks in place for the future even if they fall short this year.
21. Atlanta Thrashers (33-33-12, last week: 21) Zach Bogosian showed exactly why the Thrashers are so down on him with a pair of unforgivable turnovers in the game against the Bruins that led to their playoff elimination.
22. New Jersey Devils (36-37-5, last week: 23) Too little and too late for the Devils to make the playoffs, but at least they rebounded after a brutal first half. One positive: it appears Zach Parise is again healthy.
23. St. Louis Blues (36-33-10, last week: 22) The only question worth asking in St. Louis: what the heck got into T.J. Oshie?
24. Minnesota Wild (37-34-8, last week: 24) Good to see the Wild are going to get plenty of time to make preparations for this summers NHL draft in the Twin Cities.
25. Columbus Blue Jackets (34-32-13, last week: 25) The Mathieu Garon Era might be over with the B.J.s after letting up a pair of softies to the Blues before getting yanked this weekend.
26. Ottawa Senators (30-39-10, last week: 28) The Senators have played demonstrably better since getting kids involved, and got a coup with the singing of Stephane Da Costa.
27. New York Islanders (30-37-12, last week: 26) The End cant came soon enough to the Garth Snow Era. What an abomination hes been on Long Island.
28. Colorado Avalanche (29-41-8, last week: 29) The Avalanche havent won in regulation since Feb. 22, and now it appears Adam Foote and Paul Stastny are out for the season. Can they just forfeit?
29. Edmonton Oilers (24-43-11, last week: 30) A ragtag group of Oilers managed to take down the mighty Canucks on Hockey Night in Canada last weekend. Kind of a big deal for a team without hope this season.
30. Florida Panthers (29-38-12, last week: 27) Someday well talk about hockey in southern Florida, and laugh knowingly at the absurdity of it. Were not there yet, though.

Instagram live, Facebook watch parties and other forms of live streams could be the new way to party, but only the market can drive its success.
Once a fan’s interest is peaked, artistes can expect individuals to spend not only to support them but even more so to support a worthy cause, if part proceeds are going towards fighting the virus.
But not everyone will hop on to the live stream show wagon and not everyone can. As a matter of fact, it may not be sustainable.
So what else can they do?
According to Industry expert, Author and Former DJ, Dr Dennis Howard, entertainers who are preoccupied with social media marketing and failing to monetize talent will not survive this paradigm shift.
“How about merchandising? And no, this does not have to be a clothing line because there are several other things that can be sold. How about offering special packages, building websites and selling all things related to the brand via that platform”
Dr Dennis Howard
He said entertainers can create a super fan structure that allows them to make money from views and traffic to sites.
“I think we should be looking at the pre-COVID strategies for monetizing a brand and utilise those before we try to do anything else…”
He said every move to monetization must be treated like the business it is.
“Having an account, having registered companies, paying your taxes and if you having issues you speak to the government for help, but too many of these businesses shy away from paying taxes…”
Contrary to the beliefs that many artistes have enough in savings to live off, several are really feeling the pinch and honestly are not are not doing well financially.
On Sunday April 12, the Government of Jamaica organised a virtual fundraising concert where dozens of artistes performed and encouraged viewers to make donations towards the purchasing of PPE from frontline staff.
It was here that Finance Minister Nigel Clarke made the disclosure that a compassionate grant for members of the creative industry will be looked into as he understands many are facing hard times.
