I don't have time to do full justice to this announcement, but I wanted to make sure I put it in a permanent place (as permanent, anyway, as the Internet can be).
Earlier this year, Boria Entertainment sent me to an audition for a play titled "Human Cargo," produced by the INCARN ministry of the Mount Pisgah Baptist Church in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, NY. It was about the history and experience of African slaves brought to America. I wound up getting cast as a slave ship captain and a slave hunter. It was a very intense play and my characters were among the worst people I have ever known. I was proud to be a part of it, though, as it was an important part of history and a very moving play. I also got a lot of good work knocking the rust off of my acting chops, being in a bitchin' fight, and even doing a little dance work in the rehearsals.
This was followed by my role as General William Tecumseh Sherman in this organization's next play, "Honorable distinction. This wa about the Black experience in the American Civil War. In addition to playing the general who conceived the plan that came to be characterized as "40 Acres and a Mule," I also played harmonica with the keyboardist during the musical numbers,as background, and during interludes. I also got to teach the actors playing the 54th Mass. "The Battle Cry of Freedom" and the rebel soldiers "Bonnie Blue Flag" and sing it with them.
Now, in the third play of this trilogy, "Emancipated Glory," I play the great emancipator himself in the months leading up to the enactment of the Emancipation Proclamation.
The play is being performed on December 30th and 31st at the Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church. Details and a brief diary of the experience to follow.

2 The System/370 Model 165 cache The Model 85 cache is characterised by having a relatively small number of fairly large contiguous units of buffer store. While this can perform weil in a single program environment, it is unlikely to do so in a multi-access multiprogramming environment where rapid switching between a number of store co-resident programs is essential. What is needed in these circumstances is a relatively large number of (necessarily) small contiguous units of buffer store. Smaller versions of the Model 165, for example, have 8-Kbyte cache stores consisting of 256 blocks each of 32 bytes.

(Updates with closing market prices in fifth paragraph.)
June 2 (Bloomberg) -- More Americans than forecast filed applications for unemployment benefits last week, signaling the job market is weakening as employers trim staff to cut costs.
Jobless claims fell by 6,000 to 422,000 in the week ended May 28, exceeding the 417,000 median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News, according to Labor Department figures today in Washington. Another report showed consumer comfort stabilized last week as gasoline prices retreated.
A pickup in dismissals signals companies will also look to limit hiring, raising the risk that employment data due tomorrow will show payroll gains moderated in May. Slowing job growth may cause households to further curb spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of the world’s largest economy.
“The job market has clearly lost momentum,” said John Herrmann, a senior fixed-income strategist at State Street Global Markets in Boston. “Jobless claims remain elevated, and payrolls growth for May could come in at a level that’s worrisome. The gains in confidence may be short-lived. From here on, confidence surveys may begin to reflect the broader sense of uncertainty in the economy, the labor market and the stock market.”
Stocks fell on concern the economic recovery was slowing. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index decreased 0.1 percent to 1,312.94 at the 4 p.m. close in New York. Treasury securities fell, sending the yield on the benchmark 10-year note up to 3.04 percent from 2.94 percent late yesterday.
The median forecast for claims was based on a survey of 50 economists. Estimates ranged from 400,000 to 440,000. The Labor Department revised the prior week’s figure up to 428,000 from the 424,000 initially reported.
Payrolls grew by 170,000 workers last month after increasing by 244,000 in April, Labor Department data may show tomorrow, according to the median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The jobless rate dropped to 8.9 percent from 9 percent, according to the survey.
Economists at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. were among those cutting payroll forecasts yesterday after a report from ADP Employer Services showed companies added 38,000 workers last month, the fewest since September and less than the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey.
“The labor market is a little less robust than it was,” said Michael Feroli, chief U.S. economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co. in New York. “This is the eighth consecutive week of claims above 400,000, so it doesn’t look like the move up was an aberration.”
The Bloomberg Consumer Comfort Index improved to minus 47.1 in the week ended May 29 from minus 48.4 in the prior period. The 2.3-point gain over the past two weeks has yet to make up for the 6.8-point monthlong slide that propelled the gauge to a nine-month low two weeks ago.
“The consumer is not doing very well these days,” said Robert Brusca, president of Fact & Opinion Economics in New York. “ There is nothing in this weekly survey that gives us any confidence things are getting better. There is really not much improvement in the economy.”
Other reports today showed worker productivity slowed in the first quarter and orders to factories dropped in April.
The measure of employee output per hour increased at a revised 1.8 percent annual rate after a 2.9 percent gain in the prior three months, data from the Labor Department showed. Labor costs climbed at a 0.7 percent rate after dropping 2.8 percent the prior quarter.
Demand for manufactured goods dropped 1.2 percent in April, the biggest decrease since May 2010, after climbing 3.8 percent the prior month, figures from the Commerce Department showed.
Initial jobless claims reflect weekly firings and tend to rise as job growth -- measured by the monthly non-farm payrolls report -- decelerates.
Some companies are still paring their workforce. Bank of America Corp., the largest U.S. bank by assets, will cut staff in its mortgage-sales unit in the next few months because volume is declining.
Mortgage headcount costs will “flatten out” over time, Chief Executive Officer Brian T. Moynihan said yesterday at a Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. conference in New York.
Lower gasoline prices may be giving households some relief. The average price of a gallon of regular gasoline nationally dropped to $3.79 on May 29, down from $3.84 a week earlier, according to AAA, the nation’s largest auto club. It reached $3.99 on May 4, the highest since July 2008.
Each of the three components of the Bloomberg comfort index gained last week, today’s figures showed.
The personal-finances gauge rose to minus 13.4 from minus 13.7 the previous week. A 3.1 percentage-point increase in the last two weeks failed to make up for ground lost over the prior four weeks.
The buying-climate index increased to minus 53.1 from minus 55.8 the previous week. It’s still close to the minus 57.4 reached March 13 that was the lowest since October 2009.
A gauge of Americans’ views of the economy was minus 74.6 compared with minus 75.7 the prior week.
“Falling gasoline prices have provided some much-needed breathing space for beleaguered consumers,” said Joseph Brusuelas, a senior economist at Bloomberg LP in New York. Even so, Americans face “considerable economic headwinds, including a difficult labor market.”

We spent the weekend with friends at their wonderful home outside of Paso Robles. It was a painting weekend for a group of artists that painted at the nearby Mission San Antonio de Padua, which like most of the missions in California, is in much need of renovation. This is a view from my the porch at my friend’s home.
We made some hors d’oeuvres for the artists in the late afternoon. We made this great and easy black eye pea dip.
Black Eyed Pea Dip
14 oz Can Black-eyed Peas
1/4 whole Onion, Chopped Fine
1/4 cup Sour Cream
8 slices Jarred Jalapeños
1 cup Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
3 Tbs Salsa
Hot Sauce, to taste
Salt And Black Pepper To Taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drain black-eyed peas and partially mash, leaving some whole.
Add all other ingredients, stirring to combine.
Spread into a 1 1/2 quart baking dish and bake for 20 to 30 minutes until hot and bubbly.
Serve with tortilla chips!
*Note: if you have them available, you can use the canned black-eyed peas and jalapeños (they’re canned together.) If you do this, you can omit the extra jalapeños.

This year, quinces were even more difficult to get hold of. At two dollars each, I couldn't really overindulge, or afford enough for jelly making. Instead, I bought two, and poached them to serve over a rich, vanilla pudding.
You Will Need:
2 large quince, peeled, cored and cut into 8ths
1 large orange, peeled and thickly sliced
2 tablespoons stem ginger, peeled and chopped
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
in a 325 degree F. Oven, place everything in a covered casserole dish and bake, about an hour, or until quince is tender, and has deepened in colour. Cool before serving over pudding, or yoghurt, or ice cream, or eaten from the dish standing over the sink at 3 AM (that really seems to be a theme with me, eh?) just be sure to get your fill of quince as the season is short.
Other stuff I've done with quince:

A rousing contemporary translation of Shakespeare’s classic exploration of early English monarchy.
In this modern take on Shakespeare’s King John, Brighde Mullins navigates the political twists and turns of early English monarchy. Mullins’s translation parses Shakespeare’s language carefully, with a focus on its sonic qualities. Her version focuses on the listener, developing the play for the immense pleasure of it—the fortuitous juxtapositions of the fates of these characters.
This translation of King John was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present the work of “The Bard” in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare’s verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print—a new First Folio for a new era.
Act 1 Act 2 Act 3 Act 4 Act 5
Brighde Mullins is a playwright whose work explores the possibilities of language onstage. Her full-length plays include The Bourgeois Pig; Rare Bird; Those Who Can, Do; Monkey in the Middle; Teach; Fire Eater; and Topographical Eden.

A higher proportion of older people are employed in Switzerland than anywhere else in Europe.
A report suggests that this is quite justified. It found that although younger workers have the reputation of being more efficient, dynamic and flexible, older workers still have plenty to offer.
The proportion of Swiss people aged between 55 and 64 years in some form of employment has risen from 63.5 per cent to 68.4 per cent in the last 12 years. This compares to a European Union average of 44.7 per cent in 2007.
But there's a big difference between being employed and finding a new job. There is evidence to suggest that some companies would rather hire younger employees from abroad than turn to Swiss workers aged over 50.
The study by the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts suggests that filling jobs with younger people is not necessarily the best move. It examined the efficiency of workers of different age groups.
"The differences in efficiency are larger within the same age groups than between these groups," study author, Colette Peter, told swissinfo. Older workers may be less able to perform tough physical tasks, but they can make up for this with experience and superior judgement skills, the report found.
The recent opening of Swiss borders to EU workers means that the issue is no longer just confined to Switzerland. And Peter does not believe that Switzerland's high percentage of over-55s in work is necessarily a triumph of personnel policy.
"We must be conscious that in the next few years competition in individual countries will increase because of the aging society," she said. The solution does not lie with importing migrant workers, but by improving education and training, the employment expert added.
"Many youngsters with a migrant background remain disadvantaged in the job market. It requires further investment to get these people qualified to work," Peter said. "Older workers also need more and better incentives."
The ageing workforce has been forecast for decades and yet little appears to have been done to prepare for it. Peter believes the issue has been over-ridden with the need to solve short-term problems with the Swiss economy.
"There is already a lack of skilled workers in some sections of the economy. These have been partly filled by German immigrants. [But] the economy will probably have to have a rethink," she said.
Firms begin to react
However, some larger companies have begun to address the issue, according to Peter. Technology group ABB, which is active all over the world, does more than pay lip service to the over-45 generation.
"Approximately 10 per cent of all new employees in 2008 were 50 years old or older," ABB Switzerland personnel chief Renato Merz told swissinfo.
Companies would probably only start to react if they could not fill job vacancies any other way, Peter believes. "We saw this with the integration of women into the workplace. Child care and the like were only introduced when women became indispensable," she said.
"We can do very little at present other than press our message home. When people are confronted with the facts they can leave their prejudices and stereotypes behind."
Alexander Künzle, swissinfo.ch (translated from German by Matthew Allen)
Ageing workforce in Switzerland
The Swiss population is expected to peak at 8.2 million in 2036 before falling to 8.1 in 2050, according to a 2006 Federal Statistics Office projection.
The number of people aged 65 and over will increase by 90% in the same period to 2.2 million people - or 27% of the population.
A study by the think tank Avenir Suisse, published in 2006, found 70% of more than 800 firms surveyed had provisions in place to keep older employees.
Measures included introducing part-time work, making job descriptions more flexible and allowing sabbaticals.
Switzerland has more 55-64 year olds working per head of the population than any other industrialised country, according to 2003 figures:
Switzerland: 70%, Japan: 63%, US: 55% and Belgium: 27%

A map can be a aesthetic counsel of the whole location or part of a place, normally displayed over a smooth work surface. The task of your map would be to show certain and comprehensive highlights of a certain location, most regularly utilized to show geography. There are several sorts of maps; fixed, two-dimensional, a few-dimensional, active and also exciting. Maps make an attempt to symbolize a variety of points, like governmental borders, bodily functions, roadways, topography, inhabitants, environments, normal sources and financial pursuits.
Maps is surely an crucial supply of main information and facts for historical research. But just what is a map? This can be a deceptively basic query, until finally you’re motivated to present an response — it may seem a lot more tough than you believe. Nevertheless we come across maps on a regular basis. The multimedia makes use of those to identify the positioning of the most up-to-date worldwide problems, several college textbooks incorporate them as pictures, and that we seek advice from maps to assist us understand from destination to location. Maps are really common; we often bring them without any consideration. Nevertheless occasionally the acquainted is actually intricate than seems like. “Exactly what is a map?” has several respond to.
Norman Thrower, an power around the past of cartography, identifies a map as, “A counsel, typically on the aeroplane area, of all the or section of the planet as well as other physique exhibiting a team of characteristics when it comes to their general dimensions and placement.”* This apparently simple document signifies a standard take a look at maps. Using this viewpoint, maps is visible as wall mirrors of fact. Towards the university student of background, the concept of a map as being a match picture can make maps look like perfect instruments for learning the actuality of areas at various details soon enough. Even so, there are many caveats regarding this take a look at maps. Accurate, a map is undoubtedly an picture of a location with a specific reason for time, but that spot is purposely lessened in proportion, and its particular materials have already been selectively distilled to target a few certain goods. The outcome on this lessening and distillation are then encoded in a symbolic counsel from the location. Eventually, this encoded, symbolic picture of a spot should be decoded and realized with a map readers who might are living in an alternative timeframe and traditions. In the process from actuality to readers, maps may possibly shed some or all their refractive potential or perhaps the impression can get blurry.
Maps use signs like outlines and various hues to indicate capabilities like estuaries and rivers, roadways, towns or mountain ranges. Younger geographers need to have so as to understand icons. Each one of these emblems assist us to visualise what issues on a lawn in fact appear like. Maps also assist us to find out ranges in order that we understand just how far aside one important thing comes from yet another. We must have in order to quote distance on maps since all maps present our planet or territories in it being a smaller dimension than their genuine dimension. To get this done we require so as to see the range on the map. In this particular model we will check out maps and the ways to go through them. Furthermore you will figure out how to bring some maps.

Grants announced for two new mental health clinics for schools in St. Lawrence County
Watertown Daily Times - 12/2/2023
Dec. 2—Some of New York's schools are getting another infusion of cash to build up school-based mental health clinics, including two in St. Lawrence County.
On Thursday, Gov. Kathleen C. Hochul announced during a visit to a school in New York City that her administration is issuing a round of funding of $5.1 million to build 137 new school-based mental health clinics at campuses across the state. In St. Lawrence County, the Colton-Pierrepont Central School and the Edwards-Knox Junior and Senior High School will receive $25,000 to establish services.
These clinics, which received $20 million in the New York state budget this year, are meant to serve youth in schools suffering from mental illnesses or emotional crises, part of a plan to address the epidemic of mental illness observed in youth today.
"It's clear young people are facing insidious, and increasingly complex challenges to their mental and emotional wellness," Hochul said, blaming the prevalence of social media use in children and teenagers today. "By expanding mental health clinics in school-based settings, we can help engage young people of all ages in a familiar and stigma-free environment through conversations led by licensed experts."
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control say reports of anxiety or depression among children age 6 to 17 have increased over time, as have reports of persistent sadness or hopelessness. Some experts and many elected officials have blamed the increase in digital interactions and social media use among young people, especially algorithm-driven content applications like TikTok or YouTube. They have said these internet services, which serve as both entertainment and social media, hosting a significant amount of the social interactions young people have today, have used manipulative tactics to keep users addicted that have resulted in poor mental health impacts.
Officials argue that by stepping up mental health resources at the institutions where so many children spend their days, they can step in before students' mental health deteriorates significantly and help cut down on rates of depression, addiction and suicide among these children.
"Nearly 40% of young people report having persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness, and we have an obligation to take on meaningful, immediate action," said state Sen. Samra Brouk, D-Rochester, chair of the state Senate Mental Health Committee. "This is especially true for Black and Brown students and those who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. This funding here in New York will allow more students to receive the support they deserve in a safe and trusted location."

As frequent readers of our blog will know, transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Massachusetts. The cars, trucks, and buses on our roads are also responsible for pollution that causes direct and widespread harm to human health – harm that disproportionately impacts low-income communities and communities of color. Right now, there’s something you can do about it: get your legislator to attend an upcoming briefing on bills that will work on these issues!
New Incentive for Electric Trucks in Massachusetts
The Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER) recently announced that the popular rebate program for electric vehicles, MOR-EV, will now offer incentives for medium- and heavy-duty electric trucks too. This is great news for the climate and public health in Massachusetts.
We’re big advocates for incentivizing electric vehicle (EV) drivers to charge their cars off-peak by offering them a lower retail price per kilowatt-hour (kWh). “Off-peak” periods refer to times when demand for electricity is low. At these times, wholesale electricity prices and emissions per unit of energy are lower as well. Shifting EV charging demand by setting a price signal — sometimes called a “time-varying rate” (TVR) or “time-of-use rate” (TOU) — is a win for everyone: EV drivers, non-EV drivers, the environment, and our electric grid. Right now, the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (DPU) is considering whether and how to move forward on this issue — and we wanted to give you an update on progress made so far. (Fair warning: if ever there was a blogpost for the policy wonks, this is it!)
At yesterday's Massachusetts Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Commission's quarterly meeting, the state announced a change to the MOR-EV rebate program. This important electric vehicle incentive will now be available to commercial fleet owners, as well as individual residents of the Commonwealth. We applaud the state for taking this step and are encouraged by conversation that further program changes may follow. In fact, we have a couple of ideas...
On December 6, 2018, the state of Massachusetts announced that it will extend the popular electric vehicle (EV) rebate program, Massachusetts Offers Rebates for Electric Vehicles (MOR-EV) through June 30, 2019. However, as of January 1, 2019, the rules of the program will change: only battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) with a sales price under $50,000 will qualify for the rebate, which will drop from $2,500 to $1,500. Though we applaud the state’s efforts to extend this important incentive, we know the Commonwealth needs to be doing more to spur electric vehicle adoption.
Since we launched Drive Green with Mass Energy and People’s Power & Light in November of 2016, a lot has changed in the electric vehicle market. At launch, we had four electric vehicles (EVs) from three manufacturers available through the program. Now, we’ve got seventeen vehicles from ten manufacturers, and the list is growing all the time! As the options increase, finding the best electric car for you might seem like it’s getting more overwhelming too. But don’t you worry! Here’s a quick who’s-who of the top electric cars available through our program right now.
Since November 2016, we have helped hundreds of people learn about and buy or lease electric cars at significant discounts. Consumers from all walks of life have come through the Drive Green program. But some of our members, as we like to call them, have expertise in fields such as energy, climate, and electric vehicles (EVs). Here’s what a few have to say.
As you may have noticed, it's gotten to be *really* cold recently. Electric vehicle (EV) performance does change in winter, but so does that of gas-powered cars.
It’s no fun taking away the punch bowl just as the party was getting good, so we decided that Drive Green with Mass Energy and People’s Power & Light, our newest program, is here to stay, rather than ending on June 30 as we previously indicated. Our board of directors voted unanimously to keep the program going. We see it as a great way to achieve our mission of making energy more sustainable and affordable. When we launched the program on November 2, we had a good feeling that it would go well and, truth be told, it has. We’re proud to say that over 130 people have purchased or leased electric cars, dozens more are in the process, and more people are registering every day. And the comments we have received from shoppers have been very positive. One thing that really makes us happy is when a new owner sends us a testimonial talking about how much they love their car or how they enjoyed our program. We know we’re not yet perfect, but we are confident we’re on the right track.
We talk a lot about the need to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels to fight climate change. We run programs and support policies in an effort meet our states' greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals: in Massachusetts, the statutory requirements of the Global Warming Solutions Act, in Rhode Island, the Resilient Rhode Island Act. With our climate going haywire (see the record-setting droughts, floods, and heat waves of 2016) and the emissions reductions of electric vehicles, climate change is one of the reasons we launched Drive Green with Mass Energy and People's Power & Light. But, setting climate change aside for a moment (a big ask, we know), replacing internal combustion engines on our roads with electric vehicles should still be a state priority. Why?

Aaron Swartz dropped us a note about what we think is a way too cool Halloween costume. It seems he and his mother made an iBook costume for 'Trick-or-Treating" and were a big hit to boot. According to Aaron:
Following on the success of the iMac costume of last year, we decided to create an iBook costume for this Halloween. Pictures and a behind-the-scenes look are available at the web site.
Oh and by the way, we got more candy this year.
They have pics of the costume for all to see at their web site, so go and check it out. Way too cool! :-)

Activity Overview: Natural resources are not evenly distributed around the world. Geographic features, latitude, and time of year all affect the solar capacity of a region. Different organizations including the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the World Bank Group have created an atlas of solar resource data, which anchors this activity.
Similar to the activity Where Does the Sun Shine?, which examines the solar resource in Texas and the United States, this activity zooms out to look at international solar capacity. Use the map linked here, or consult the Global Solar Atlas from the World Bank Group.

JOINT PATROLLING AT THE LAKE
Members of Macedonian and Albanian border police conducted for the first time Wednesday a joint patrolling at the Lake Ohrid, Makfax correspondent said.
The joint cross-border patrolling was envisioned in the treaty on cooperation between the Macedonian and Albanian police, in line with the SEE Police Cooperation Convention, adopted in May 2006.
The primary goal in launching mixed police patrols is to strengthen the co-operation between Macedonian and Albanian police in the border area in a bid to prevent the cross-border organized crime, said Ohrid Police Station chief Goran Dostinoski, adding that security situation at Ohrid Lake is stable.
The main problem is caused by fish thieves, as no law in Albania bans fishing. Quite often, the fishermen from Albania enter Macedonia's territorial waters. Furthermore, a number of Macedonian citizens accidentally enter Albania's territorial waters during summer holiday season, Dostinoski said.
The launching of mixed police patrols will curb illegal crossing of the border and also curb the trafficking in human beings, said Sali Gorica of Albanian Lake Police.
Another problem is that there is no physical border between the Macedonian and Albanian part of Ohrid Lake. The lake border was disrupted during Albania's riots 10 years ago.

Silas Durocher, Eleanor Underhill and Mike Martinez discuss their plans for what’s shaping up to be a productive musical season.
“I’m very grateful for the love and support from my community of friends. If not for them, I might have lost my mind completely this year. In my professional work, I’m grateful for space and time. Over the past year, our band has been able to get a space to be our most creative versions […]
The Asheville-based neo-soul hip-hop band’s lead singer and songwriter Mike Martinez discusses the group’s second EP.
Country, blues, bluegrass and … prog-hop? The variety of live music available in Asheville never ceases to impress.
Known in Asheville as the front man of indie-hip-hop-soul collective Natural Born Leaders, Mike Martinez — aka “Mad” Mike — has also been quietly making solo songs, as well.
There are countless ways to see out the old year and welcome the new one. Read on for parties, concerts, dances and more.
The band’s next local performance is Saturday, Sept. 29, at Asheville Barnaroo and is likely to feature some songs we haven’t heard before.
Soulful prog-hop group Natural Born Leaders mark the release of their debut EP About Time with a Saturday, May 5, show at Asheville Music Hall. Folk singer-songwriter Chuck Brodsky debuts his 10th album, Them and Us, at The Grey Eagle on Sunday, May 6. And singer-songwriter Brie Capone commemorates the release of her second EP, If I Let You In, with a May 5 performance at Isis Music Hall.
Natural Born Leaders perform at The Orange Peel on Friday, Feb. 23, with Window Cat and Evil Note Lab.
Harmonia brings sanctuary spaces to festivals of various sizes, and on Sunday, April 9, the nonprofit will host its own event — a donation-based fundraiser at Salvage Station.
Local hip-hop/indie-soul collective Natural Born Leaders has been not-so-quietly making a name for itself on Asheville stages. The band shared two songs from an Isis Music Hall Show in December.
The show, featuring more than 20 acts and benefiting local nonprofit Bounty & Soul, takes place at UpCountry Brewing Co. on Friday, Feb. 17.
The Altamont Theatre will be transformed into a musical utopia on Friday, Jan. 20.
Special guests who joined Philo onstage throughout the night included members of Empire Strikes Brass, local Grammy-nominated vocalist Debrissa McKinney, MC Smidi and more.
The band recently released two videos that showcase energy and funk, and a creative mashing of styles into something that feels fresh.

Stimulus plan could do some good
Published: Wednesday, January 28, 2009 at 10:25 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 28, 2009 at 10:26 a.m.
U.S. Sen. David Vitter has protested that President Barack Obama’s proposed stimulus package doesn’t make enough of a commitment to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The corps has a backlog of $61 billion in projects. But of the $825 billion stimulus package, only $4.5 billion looks to be heading toward the federal agency.
That’s not a very big percentage of the money it would take to get the projects it has on its drawing board -- including the local Morganza-to-the-Gulf hurricane-protection project -- off paper and into the real world.
In fact, we agree with Vitter’s characterization of the investment in the corps: “woefully short.”
We say that with an appreciation of the fact that the stimulus package can’t be all things to all people.
Obama has proposed a plan that is meant to spur job development while building up the nation’s infrastructure. In the process, he has hit upon a goal of making government investment as productive as possible.
In that vein, we find it hard to believe that any projects could have the same kind of return that our coastal projects would have.
The billions of dollars it will take to rebuild Louisiana’s coast and build a reasonably reliable system of flood protection would create countless construction jobs -- jobs that would help recirculate that money back into the economy.
In addition, money spent on restoring our coast and protecting us from future storms would be a crucial investment in Louisiana’s people -- a sign that the federal government believes that we can and should continue to live here.
That would help preserve the value of homes and businesses that with no action would eventually lose all their worth. As the ocean continues to eat away at our coast and come ever inland, we give up ground to the open water.
Eventually, our property will be in that water ... if nothing is done.
That is where our projects take on an added value that doesn’t apply to those slated for other areas of the nation.
Unlike public-works projects in other states, the coastal-restoration and flood-protection projects in Louisiana would have the additional benefit of preventing future losses of life and property.
If the money the federal government spends here can return so many benefits on the original investment, it deserves fair consideration.
Although Obama has laid out a plan that would devote some money to the corps, there is clearly not enough money being committed to this vital purpose.
In arguing for more coastal and flood-protection money, we aren’t saying that more money should be added to the overall plan. Rather, money that doesn’t have the same level of return could be re-assigned to more-urgent projects, such as protecting ourselves and our homes and businesses from future hurricanes.
“Millions of Louisianans remain at risk from inadequate coastal, flood and hurricane-protection systems as we approach the fifth hurricane season since hurricanes Katrina and Rita and less than one year after hurricanes Gustav and Ike,” Vitter said in his letter to the president.
That puts the situation in perspective. We hope the president is willing to re-assess his current plans and shape them to better serve our region and the nation.

The interior of this kitchen is 100% industrial—as a result, it goes perfectly with the loft-like character of the whole apartment. This design is dominated by monochromatic greys, steel, and antiqued brick. Also the selected equipment and decorations perfectly match the austere look.
The interior of this kitchen connected to the dining room was inspired by the Scandinavian style. We combined light colors and greys with natural wood and timeless furniture. As a result, we managed to achieve the effect of fresh and modern space.
A completely different challenge our office had to face has been to elaborate a modern fitness club space, which would be the perfect combination of good design, comfort of use and maximum functionality. The project refers to the industrial style with its open space as well as used materials.
The interior of a confectionery finished with antiqued brick was complemented by wooden joinery, light-colored furniture, and crystal chandeliers; as a result, we managed to combine the industrial character of a café with a hint of classic elegance.
In our design of an ice-cream parlor, the energizing yellow and orange furniture and wall decorations are especially important. We also proposed timeless furniture in the form of chairs and tables.

Description: Contingency management interventions effectively reduce or eliminate some individuals' problem substance use. Typically, those who do not benefit never experience the reward or planned contingency available through the intervention because they never produce the behavior (often abstinence) on which the reward is contingent. With two analog studies, we examine whether the effectiveness contingency management interventions improves when contingencies are arranged in ways that improve the likelihood of all participants experiencing the available reward. Participants were smokers not planning to quit. In Study 1, smokers were paid $0, 1, 3, 10, or 30 each day for 5 days for delivery of breath carbon monoxide (CO) levels either @?4 ppm or below half the median of their baseline levels. Higher payment amounts and the easier target criterion resulted in a higher likelihood of participants meeting criterion. Once participants met the 4 ppm criterion, however, they often maintained this behavior even in the absence of payments for reduced breath CO levels. An ineffective contingency management system was made effective based on these results. Study 2 examined the effectiveness of percentile schedules at reducing breath CO levels. Percentile schedules shaped lower breath CO levels. The effectiveness of percentile schedules in shaping abstinence was tested in treatment seekers, and percentile schedules were found to be effective at shaping abstinence.

Crafting has always been one of the core mechanisms of any MMO, and Final Fantasy XIV is no exception. The only difference is that FFXIV goes in-depth, providing many choices and specializations that make the concept even harder to understand.
There are many things players can build or set to their habit in FINAL FANTASY XIV. Here I have collected some settings that might be useful for you, and many players might not notice them while playing. I hope these tips can make your game more enjoyable.

well? Get on with it, we’re waiting…
Pearl St. I have no doubt.
Seeing Albert Lamb, in OTW, looking exactly as I remember it, snackbar window and all, was like looking through a timescope. Thank you.
Michael Nicholson! Weren’t you the voice of the “now showing” outgoing messages on the OTW phone machine?
“Next: early struggles until we found Betty Boop… ”
Don’t tease us, get on with it!
A late night, a glass of wine, and, on a whim, I Google “Off the Wall” to see if anyone has ever even heard of my favorite movie theater of all time, and lo and behold… 1978 was my first full summer in Boston and I went to OTW at it’s original location on Main St. to see a Fleisher Bros. cartoon festival (Betty Boop, Popeye, Superman), and fell in love immediately with the scholarly program notes that were handed out with each admission, as well as with the coffee and cheesecake. Some years later, I wrote a monthly column for the BEACON (an extremely small-circulation periodical with a somewhat exclusive readership) called The MOVIE-CRAWL, and I believe a review of whatever I had seen at OTW made it in almost every column. God, how I miss that place…

So I have been on the look out for some new games to sate my appetite for painting and modeling. I was introduced to Infinity a few years ago by a buddy who was the manager of a local game store. At the time I didn't think to much into it. Now, since WarmaHordes is satiating my taste for fantasy and high adventure, it was time to look for some futuristic mayhem. Enter Infinity.
Firstly, the miniatures are amazing! (I am noticing a theme with my game choices...) I mean the sculpts are truly awe inspiring. The poses and dynamics of the figures are a fresh look at 28mm. Secondly, the fluff to this game is great! And somewhat scary if you consider at the level of realism that has gone into the game's concepts. Thirdly, the rule-set! For the first time in the history of my gaming experience BOTH players are engaged simultaneously over the course of the game. So no more "Horde ork movement phase? Go ahead I'll catch up with you when your done. Next Tuesday good?" games. It reminds me in a small way to the 2nd ed 40K rule of Overwatch, just on a much larger scale. And lastly, the price! The rules are free! The minis are very reasonable for the quality you are getting, and it is a small skirmish game. So about 7-10 models, some factions even less, and you have a complete army! Do yourself a favor and watch the YouTube video below from the manufacturer Corvus Belli.
So yeah, good stuff! After looking through the models and factions it was a toss up between the AI bots of Aleph or the rough and tumble outworlders, the Nomads. In the end I went with Aleph. They remind me of my beloved 2nd ed Eldar with the grace and destructive prowess.
I picked up the starter box set at a steal on eBay. Instead of the purple "lights" pictured here I am going with a blue/teal as in the "Ghost" pic above. More when I get some actual painting done.
In my next post Malifaux? Malifaux. Till next time, good gaming!

Columbian coffee is a popular and well-known type of coffee. It's known for its rich, smooth flavor and medium to full body, which makes it a great choice for both coffee connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike. Whole-bean Colombian coffee, in particular, is a great option for those who want to grind their own beans and control the strength and flavor of their coffee. If you are looking to buy coffee, pick up a 2lb bag of whole-bean Columbian coffee and give it a try.
Craft breweries are independently-owned and tend to manufacture products on a small scale. A craft brewery may use unique brewing and packaging methods and may incorporate a wide range of flavors into its product line. If you plan on serving alcoholic beverages during an informal event, shop for a line of craft beer products that have been manufactured at a local craft brewery.
Craft brewers may offer more diversity than traditional beer brands that you have consumed in the past.
Is there anything as delicious as cinnamon rolls? Especially when they are warm, gooey, and straight out of the oven, these rolls are enough to make your eyes roll back in your head. As such, they can make an incredible gift. Here are some tips to follow if you do decide to give cinnamon rolls as a gift.
Look for a bake-at-home option.
Rather than sending out prepared cinnamon rolls, look for ones that your recipient can bake at home.
Building out a functional commercial kitchen requires that you invest in the right equipment to install in the kitchen. Commercial restaurant equipment can have a significant impact on the overall efficiency of your kitchen over time. One option many commercial kitchens can benefit from is the addition of a mixer.
Commercial mixers fall into one of two categories: planetary mixers and spiral mixers. It's essential that you take your time and evaluate each option to determine which mixer will have the greatest impact on your commercial kitchen's day-to-day activities.
Good quality, whole bean Colombian coffee can be a bit costly. But if you really love this coffee and want to indulge without emptying your wallet, buying in larger quantities is a good way to save. You will pay less overall if you buy your coffee by the 2-pound bag rather than purchasing a few ounces at a time. But buying larger quantities of whole bean Colombian coffee does come with its own set of challenges.

This article will show you how to configure your Business Cloud.
iiNet Business Cloud allows you to configure network services such as DHCP, firewalls, network address translation (NAT), VPN and static routing for your organisation's network.
Some basic network configuration on your part will be required before your virtual machine(s) will be accessible externally. We have provided instructions for a simple network setup below.
To configure your network in your Business Cloud you will first need to first follow these steps to access the Edge Gateway Services. All other menu options will need you first get to this area before progressing.
Please note that your Business Cloud network configuration is your responsibility and isn't supported by our hosting support team.
Select one of the links below to jump to a query:
Business Cloud makes extensive use of Network Address Translation (NAT) to connect the Virtual Machines to the internet. This means that even though you may only have one external IP address, you may be able to have several servers sitting behind the one IP address doing different tasks. In our Business Cloud environment, rules can be setup for outbound and inbound traffic.
Once you have entered the Edge Gateway Services screen:
SNAT (Source NAT) is used for traffic leaving the VMs to the Internet and DNAT (Destination NAT) is for traffic heading towards the virtual machines from the Internet.
To set up an Outbound NAT rule to allow your machines to contact the Internet:
Adding inbound NAT rules is similar to adding outbound NAT rules, except it has the added bonus of being able to specify ports.
If you are familiar with port forwarding, this is essentially what inbound NAT rules can do.
Below we will run through two examples of NAT rules for inbound traffic.
IMPORTANT: This is the riskiest setup you can use for NAT as it allows all traffic going to your external IP to reach your VM. This setup is NOT recommended unless you are comfortable with this and you;re confident in the firewall rules that have been installed and configured on your VM.
It is recommended to only use this as a temporary measure to access your VM or services on the VM while adding other NAT rules.
This is the recommended method for setting up inbound NAT rules. It will allow you to point and limit traffic as you please, Even if you have one external IP address you can host several servers doing different things. For example, have one server hosting website, one server hosting emails and one server acting as a name server. This works by pointing traffic heading to a specific port to a specific server.
In the above example we are allowing Remote Desktop access to the server with an Internal IP of 192.168.0.5. Remote desktop utilizes the TCP protocol on port 3389.
Below we are again working with Remote Desktop and already have one rule setup for 3389. We did not want to change the port it uses on the server so we are using the NAT rules to do it for us. We are pointing port 3390 on the same IP to point to port 3389 on a different virtual machine.
The Firewall tab is located next to the NAT tab.
The firewall is run on a simulated router between your VMs and the Internet and will need to be setup along side the NAT rules above if you wish to leave it enabled.
Like NAT the firewall also has inbound and outbound rules. When creating rules, you will need to remember that for inbound, the target will need to be your external IP where as outbound the source will need to be an internal IP.
In the image below, we will be allowing all inbound traffic to our 202.59.xxx.xxx IP on port 80 to be allowed.
In the above screenshot, we have set the Source to External as we want all external traffic to be allowed through. This can be set to limit to a single IP or an IP Range.
In most inbound firewall rules, the Source Port will nearly always be set to any.
The Destination is our external IP address and the Destination Port is 80 (HTTP/Web).
This section was written for the older vCloud Director.
The site-to-site VPN feature allows you to connect your vCloud network to another network. This is not a client-to-server tunnel (which could be accomplished via other means, such as OpenVPN), but the joining of the networks into one, to allow the secure transfer of information and sharing of resources.
Tick the box Enable site-to-site VPN and click on Add.
- A network in another organization - i.e. a different Business Cloud account. You will need the login details for the second account.
- A remote network in this organizations - another network setup you already have in the existing Business Cloud account.
- A remote network - an external, non-vCloud network that has similar VPN capabilities. In this example, a remote network was chosen.

I wore skirt and boots. It was at Town Hall so I expected people to dress down but there were many who were dressed quite nicely. Guess it depends on the performance. :).Seattle Baroque Orchestra: Delirio Amoroso -- Handel's Italian Years dress • Apr 27 2014 star this tip starred

Musicians were wonderful. Each one extremely talented. I have a rant about the audience though. About 15 minutes towards the end of the program people were getting up and leaving. It was very distracting and I thought incredibly rude. For heaven's sake, if you need to leave early then sit in the back of the venue. Show some respect for the musicians and the audience members that want to enjoy the show.

Professional Teeth Cleaning is The Key to Healthy Teeth
Professional teeth cleaning coupled with good oral hygiene habits at home can preserve the health (and beauty!) of your teeth. If you live in Glendale, California, or surrounding communities, come to Bright Smiles Dental Studio for quality tooth cleaning services for your entire family. Dr. Carlos Garcia, and his team, will leave your teeth looking and feeling healthy, fresh, and clean.
Importance of Professional Teeth Cleaning
Professional teeth cleaning isn’t a luxury — it’s a need! Annual dental exams and teeth cleaning can improve the health, appearance, and function of your teeth. Even with good home oral care, you run the risk of plaque or tartar building up on your teeth or developing gum disease. Gum disease, when left untreated, can escalate into periodontal disease — a primary cause of tooth loss. Working with professional teeth cleaning dentists like Dr. Carlos Garcia minimizes these risks to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
At Bright Smiles Dental Studio, we use advanced dental equipment and technology to remove plaque and tartar in between teeth and under the gum line, where bacteria can breed and cause gum disease. In addition to cleaning, we’ll floss and polish your teeth and provide oral care instructions to reduce the spread of bacteria that can cause cavities and gum inflammation.
By scheduling annual dental checkups and cleanings, you provide Dr. Garcia with an opportunity to thoroughly examine your teeth to detect signs of dental issues in their early stages when they are easier to treat. It can save you from having to undergo extensive or expensive treatments. Early treatment of dental problems can also save you from suffering permanent tooth damage or premature tooth loss.
Benefits of Professional Teeth Cleaning in Glendale California
Annual dental exams and professional teeth cleaning provide you with a practical, affordable means of caring for your teeth. Professional teeth cleaning services reduce your risk of developing dental problems that can damage your teeth or lead to costly dental treatments. Here are a few ways that dental exams and professional teeth cleaning can benefit you and your family:
- Thoroughly cleanses your mouth of plaque and tartar buildup that can damage your teeth.
- Reduces the risk of tooth decay and infections.
- Whitens and brightens your teeth to give you a beautiful smile.
- Freshen your breath.
- Minimizes the risk of periodontal disease that can lead to tooth loss.
- Uncovers dental issues early on when they’re more manageable (and less expensive) to treat.
- Protects your overall health by safeguarding you against dental problems like periodontal disease that can cause damage to your internal organs.
- It saves you money on expensive dental treatments.
Never take your oral health for granted. Working with dental professionals from Bright Smiles Dental Studio ensures you get the necessary services to maintain beautiful, healthy teeth.

Indian-Chinese Armies reach consensus to disengage
The senior military commanders in India and China have arrived to a consensus to disengage their forces in the Ladakh region.
The Galwan Valley encroachments of the Chinese troops in the valley led to violent clashes between India and China. India has been firm in its demand that the Chinese forces should back off its intrusion. The troops will cease fire and normalcy is to be returned in the regions of Ladakh and Galwan valley.
However, the disengagement around Pangong Tso lake has been left for a future date.
The friction between Indian and Chinese armies have been high in the patrolling points of Galwan valley, banks of Pangong Tso and hot springs. China has been fortifying the Pangong Tso lake in Ladakh. Countering to these measures, India recently begun road construction in the region that triggered the recent stand off.
Pangong Tso lake
The Pangong Tso is a endorheic lake. Endorheic is a limited drainage basin that retains water and allows no outflows to external bodies. On the other hand, exorheic regions flows into oceans.
The lake is under the process of being identified as wetland of international importance under Ramsar Convention. If agreed, the lake will be the first trans-boundary wetland in South Asia under Ramsar Convention.

Etta James began her long career as a singer early, singing doo-wop as a teenager in the 1950s. She has enjoyed equal success crooning blues ballads, belting out rhythm and blues and rock and roll, or interpreting jazz. While the ease with which she can navigate these various styles demonstrates her impressive skill, it has also served to confound the music industry as to how to categorize her. In the late 20th century and into the next, James has finally been widely acknowledged as one of the most talented singers of her era.
James was born Jamesetta Hawkins in Los Angeles, California, on January 25, 1938

Unlimited Ninja Review
Unlimited Ninja is a browser MMO game in the setting of Naruto anime series.
- Rich storyline based on the original plot
- Dynamic combat system
- Many PvP-oriented mods
- Automatic gameplay features
Unlimited Ninja Gameplay
Unlimited Ninja is an MMORPG in the Naruto universe which features the heroes from original series, authentic quests, and immersive social activities. In this game, your goal is to gather up a team of the strongest ninjas and fight with AI-controlled enemies or other players.
In addition to the main character, you will have an opportunity to control a team of high-skilled ninjas from all lands and hidden villages; even more, your squad can consist of the terrifying villains, mighty goddesses and Kages of all epochs. The battle system has a specific feature called Ninja Bond: when you gather up an iconic pair of heroes, you improve their efficiency. For example, if you choose to send Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura into battle together, it will make a bond called Team 7 with increased attack rate. This feature would please the fans of the series who likes to see their favourites in action.
The choice of ninjas influences not only on their canonical representation but also on their battle rating. It’s a vital rate for all PvP and multiplayer modes because all battles in Unlimited Ninja are automatic. The result of the combat usually predetermined, because poorly equipped fighters hardly can deal at least a little damage to the ideally balanced group.
Your chances to win are composed of your level, levels of the mercenaries, development of the additional techniques and efficiency of applied bonuses. Moreover, you can increase your power by joining the guild.
The critical factor of the success in battle is a correct formation. Before you start the game, you will have to arrange your allies in the right order, apply all the necessary buffs, and decide on the primary skill to choose. You can check the battle rate of the squad at the same stage and rebalance if needed. Some combinations of average fighters are incredibly powerful, while strong ninjas perform not so much good in random order. Still, you always can test the squad before serious competitions.
Guild system and other social features are a vital part of the Unlimited Ninja gameplay: it’s much more pleasant to play with your friends, and it also provides exclusive bonuses. These mechanics will appear in gameplay much earlier than you develop enough to find the guild. At the very beginning of the game, you will have to join one of the clans — the Uchiha, Uzumaki, or Senju. They have no difference in stats, but you can join the guilds and play with people only from the same clan as yours. Usually, you will receive a recommendation to select the side with the least amount of participants, because it’s necessary to keep the in-game balance. If you follow the advice, you will receive a special novice gift.
Unlimited Ninja Classes
Before you start your adventure in Naruto world, you will have to create a playable character. There are three gender-locked classes which are based on three techniques. The first one is Genjutsu, an art of illusion and mental control; second is Ninjutsu, a kind of a superpower driven by inner energy; finally, a Taijutsu, which is the closest to classic martial arts. They are ranged by the impact on the real world: while Genjutsu influences only on enemy’s mind, Taijutsu is all about physical contact. Consequently, different techniques require different kinds of resources: Chakra, Force, and Power.

MotivationDistrictYT Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 “Your self worth equals your net worth.” In another creatively crafted video, Motivation District addresses the power of our thoughts and their implications on achieving our goals.Throughout the video, the speaker provides his audience with powerful questions they can ponder over both during and after his talk. Some of the questions asked are: What do you believe you are worth? What are your goals? What are you capabilities to attain these goals? Do you truly believe that you are worthy of attaining your goals? When we ask what we are capable of, we are most likely to diminish our own abilities and think smaller than we should. This can be because of our previous experiences, triumphs, and tribulations. However, if we start to dream of bigger goals, we can start to achieve these through proper planning and developing the necessary skills. While we cannot predict the future, we can get pretty close through this meticulous process. How we view ourselves directly impacts our success in every corner of our lives (i.e. financially, mentally, physically, interpersonally, etc.). The speaker also discusses the concept of mentally and physically aligning ourselves to maximize our achievements. Many people do not end up succeeding because their subconscious is not congruent with their bodies and thoughts. This misalignment may point to our subconscious not believing in the goal and/or not believing in our abilities to achieve the goal. Once we start living in harmony with our minds, we can then start to effectively build habits and our own paths to success. As we start to develop the habits that are needed, we begin to wire our brain and establish the muscle memory needed to achieve our goals. There are so many quotable lines, takeaway messages, and helpful tools throughout this video to help listeners develop the skills and discipline needed for success.

Vote Now For Scene Choice Awards
Friday - August 25, 2010
Back by popular demand, the Scene Choice Awards will again recognize the best bands and musicians that hail from genres such as metal hard core, indie, acoustic, rock and other underground talents of our state.
In its second year, the awards show will bring back the core elements such as live performances, celebrity guests and a huge crowd.
“This whole idea came out when friends of mine in the band Busekrus were nominated for a Hawaii Music Award, and I went to that and I was like, wow, it would be cool to have something here locally that concentrated on the genres that I see all the time,” says Jack Jackman, CEO of Nemesis Productions Team and member of the indie rock band I Digress. “I thought it would be good to get the local bands that I work with the recognition that they deserve.”
“We know that these bands are great because we see them all the time,” adds Jeremiah Tayao, operations manager of Nemesis Productions Team and Farrington High School graduate. “But there’s always a feeling that more people should know about these bands, so this awards show is a really great opportunity to showcase their talents.”
This year’s Scene Choice Awards happens Sept. 18 at 8 p.m. at 4Play Nightclub, and Jackman anticipates a full house. It’s all ages and cover charge is $7 at the door.
Performing at the show are Mantra, Shawn Davenport, Phoenix Rose, At The End Of Valhala,I Digress and other special guests.
“What we primarily want to do is get exposure for the bands, so we’re having bands play between each of the awards and we selected a variety of bands from different genres,” says Jackman.
In sync with last year’s format, the winners will be announced at the awards show and the voting is again done online.
“This year we did change the voting a little bit,” he says. “Last year you were able to go to the website and vote as many times as you wanted. This year it’s limited to voting one time. Also, last year it was for a month, but this year we’re going to limit it to two weeks.”
For a list of the nominees and to vote, log on to 808musicians.com now through Sept. 4 ...
Chucky Boy Chock, the songwriting talent behind many of Hawaii’s legendary artists such as Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo’ole, Kapena and The Brothers Cazimero, returns to the contemporary Hawaiian music scene with his ninth album, The Music Of Chucky Boy Chock, Volume 1.
Released last week, the album features the popular theme songs to the OC16 television series Hawaii Skin Diver, Sonny D in E Minor and Ta Pua Elama.
“Sonny D opens the show and Ta Pua Elama closes the show,” says Chock, a longtime resident of Kapahi, Kauai. “It’s been playing on the show for three years, and since they’ve been getting a lot of inquiries about the music, here it is.” In this new CD, Chock revisits songs he’d worked on in the past but were never released. He stays true to his canoe-beach-boy roots with touches of new age, jazz, Latin and soft rock.
“My songs are always at the moment and always an experience,” says Chock. “It’s always a privilege to have someone do your song. Before, I would have a hard time giving my songs away because I would always want to do them, but now I’m more willing to share.”
Chock also continues to compose and record Christian music. In fact, he expects his next Christian album to be out before the end of this year, along with an instrumental ukulele album.
“The ukulele album is to accompany a new coloring book that I did called Ocean Awareness,” adds Chock, who was born and raised in Kaneohe and graduated from Waianae High School. “The music is tied to the book and the book used real places on Kauai and teaches kids how to keep the ocean clean. And it features a crab named Ama.”
Stay tuned for more from Chock and Ama.

Dating a swiss man
But as Swiss Marc* reveals, “we behave the way we do because of the numerous rejections we have received from Swiss women.” Tijmens’ top tip?
Women should make themselves more approachable by, for example, smiling and saying ‘hello’. It doesn’t pay off to label yourself an ‘expat’ Think being an expat will make you sound exotic? There are around two million expats in Switzerland from all over the world, but the Swiss are on their home turf: they have friendships they established as children, making it hard for foreigners to build relationships with them.
When it comes to dating in Switzerland, online forums are full of expats crying out for tips on meeting the ‘reserved’, ‘conservative’ or ‘unapproachable’ Swiss.

Brace yourselves for a seriously photo-heavy post. I'm going to go ahead and just let you know in advance that my posts from the Maldives are going to be huge! Starting off with some snaps from my iPhone.
Dress - (c/o) Pitusa via Beach Cafe
Before I get started on the most magical trip ever, I wanted to apologise for my mini hiatus. I mentioned in my previous post that I would be taking a week away from blogging but somehow, that week turned into two weeks and it's all just been a bit of a whirlwind. It's partly down to a delay with my new blog design; I was working on it with a designer during my holiday and it's ended up being much slower than I had anticipated which in turn made me not want to post anything new until the big reveal. What do you think of the design?! Please let me know! The amazing Julie from Munich Paris Design listened to all my requests to make this design my own and I hope you find it easy to navigate.
I have so many photos to share with you that I just had no idea where to start! Strangely, I feel like a blogging-novice all over again because it feels as though I've been away from my little old blog for so long. I can confirm: it feels good to be back.
I wanted to start with the snaps from my phone which often get neglected on my blog because I try to share high quality content with you but whilst I was away I rarely picked up my camera believe it or not (apart from on the final few days where I had a major panic because I had taken so few snaps!) Having said this, my phone was never too far away so I decided to share the snaps from my iPhone - let's call them the unseen photos that usually don't make the cut.
Although there's no flow for these photos, they're all mixed up - just some of my favourites, the above are all from our incredible pool villa in Kandolhu island. A huge room all to ourselves which I fell in love with. My mum was very unimpressed with my bikini snaps on Instagram (happens every summer!) so I tried to refrain from posting so many but I still posted quite a lot more than anticipated. Can you blame me? When you're on holiday, practically living in a bikini, it becomes hard not to. I never really know how to feel when it comes to bikini pictures, I personally think they're harmless but there are some weird people on the internet so you can never be too careful these days. I'd really love to know your thoughts on the matter - I was contemplating writing a blog post about it but that would mean sharing even more bikini photos, which I'm certain my mum would disapprove of, so I decided against it for the meantime...
The rest of the place was pretty magical too, it seemed completely natural to be stranded on an island in the middle of the Indian ocean. For the duration of our stay at Kandolhu we didn't see a single car, road, nor pavement for that matter! And whilst I can't imagine you'd expect to see these things on an island it's very surreal when you come to think of it, especially being so used to it all in the hustle and bustle of London city. In the island it felt as though we were in amidst a jungle, there was so much beautiful greenery surrounding us and crystal clear waters filled with so many incredible fish, turtles, sharks - all of which we were lucky enough to spot ourselves - and so much more we didn't see.
Crochet crop top - Primark // Wrap skirt - ASOS
If you read my last post then you'll know that I went away with my auntie and uncle who stayed in an incredible ocean pool villa, you know, the ones Instagram is completely inundated with. It was as beautiful as I could ever imagine. Equipped with an outdoor bathroom where you could bathe whilst looking out onto the ocean, an infinity pool which seemed to lead to the very depths of the ocean and the sea right at your feet (quite literally) we spent so many evenings taking it all in. I seriously miss it! It was quite memorable. One of my favourite experiences was the sunset in the evenings...
Bandeau top - New Look // Shorts - ASOS (similar)
Every day we were blessed with a sunset more incredible than the one before, we spent many evenings watching the sun go down from different parts of the island. The most incredible being on the night of the full moon but more about that in another post, for now I'll leave you with one of the many photos from that night.
