Ex-best pal quotes to let go of damaged friendships
Their relationship is working due to the “scandalous and forbidden” component. When that wears off, and everybody locally moves on to the following piece of gossip, and your ex and your friend actually get to know one another, the enchantment will fade. Your ex and “your friend” are the ones who should really feel silly, NOT YOU!
Heart-wrenching ex-best pal quotes
Say one thing like, “This isn’t personal. We really like each other. I hope you perceive that we do not want to harm you.

An try to stay pals could also be a kindness if it suggests an attachment or a respect that transcends the circumstances of the romantic relationship, as an example. It could be a cruelty, however, when it serves to pressure the jilted party into burying emotions of anger and hurt. A bond with a bestie is a wonderful thing that’s onerous to overlook. Sometimes one of the best of friends keep in our lives only for a really brief time, and when they leave, it might be a very sad transition. But no matter how lengthy they’re in our lives, true friendship is one thing that we can always really feel grateful for.

Who are they?
Clean-cut British foursome The Vamps’ hearty guitar-pop and youthful lyrics could make them the next big teenage music stars. This weekend they will support American pop singer Selena Gomez at two big London shows, ahead of the release their debut single, Can We Dance, which has already been viewed a million times on YouTube.
How did they get here?
The Vamps formed after the band members found one another via their respective YouTube channels. Guitarist James McVey, 19, approached singer Bradley Simpson, 18, and the pair began writing songs together. They tracked down Tristan Evans, 19, after watching the audition tape which helped him make the final of a national competition for aspiring drummers in 2010, and bassist Connor Ball, 17, joined earlier this year. As Simpson explains, "bands used to form through an advert in the NME, but now it’s amazing what you can find on YouTube". The quartet have since landed a record deal with EMI and begun work on their debut album with producers in New York and LA. They’ve also built a devoted fan base, judging by the ecstatic reception they received during a gig at London’s Westfield shopping centre last month.
Who are their influences?
The band grew up listening to US pop-punk bands like Blink-182, but are also fans of acoustic pop and folk artists like Ed Sheeran and Mumford & Sons. Their biggest influence is British pop band McFly, who they recently toured with: "Their debut album was a first in all of our collections", says Simpson, "they’re brilliant musicians".
What do they sound like?
Don’t be fooled by their fresh faces, tousled hair and adoring fans – The Vamps are no One Direction. They co-write all of their songs, most of which have a rockier power-pop feel than those of Harry Styles and co. Can We Dance is an honest tale of teenage awkwardness with a punchy, toe-tapping chorus, while another track, Wildheart, has a distinctive folk bent. Both are impressively anthemic for such a young band.
What do they say about themselves?
"[We] take pride in the fact we play our own instruments and write our own songs,” says Simpson. "We’re not just a pop act."
The Vamps play Hammersmith Apollo on September 7 and 8. Can We Dance is released on September 29

Masala’s round up of the five most highly-anticipated 2019 book releases.
By Deboshree Banerjee
GOLDEN CHILD by CLAIRE ADAM
Release date: January 15, 2019
If you are a fan of twisty psychological fiction, then keep an eye out for Claire Adam’s intriguing debut novel, Golden Child. Set in Trinidad in the 1980s, the story follows the lives of twin boys, Peter and Paul, born to parents Clyde and Joy in a very rural area of the country. However, the twins are nothing alike. While Peter excels at everything he does, Paul is seen as slow and odd, which vexes his father to no end.
The plot thickens when Paul does not return home from a walk one day and Clyde has to step out into the night to search for his son. As hours turn into days, his hunt leads to the discovery of unsettling truths about his family and himself. With a heart- stopping climax, the novel tells a story about wanting more for our children, and swells with wisdom about masculinity, family, violence and sacrifice.
THE CARE AND FEEDING OF RAVENOUSLY HUNGRY GIRLS by ANISSA GRAY
Release date: February 19, 2019
Another promising debut, The Care and Feeding of Ravenously Hungry Girls, set in a small western Michigan town, is centred on three adult siblings, Althea, Viola and Lillian, each with an impassioned voice of their own. The sisters, despite being unalike, stay united to deal with the absence of their deceased mother and lack of parental guidance from their father. However, nothing could prepare them for the literal trial they have to endure when Althea and her husband, both restaurateurs, receive a multi-year sentence for food stamp fraud and charity embezzlement. As Althea awaits her fate, Lillian and Viola must come together in their childhood home to care for their sister’s teenage daughters. The book gently yet fearlessly explores the diversity and complexity of family connections.

The fourth episode of Discovery was not the strongest episode of Discovery...
The new series may have found its voice this week, in an episode guest-starring Charlize Theron and directed by TNG's Jonathan Frakes.
Discovery's third episode comes into its own, ostensibly setting up the crew we will be spending the rest of the season with.
Despite a strong story, this week's episode just isn't any fun.
The two-part premiere effectively set up an exciting premise, though there were a few issues with the new series.
The newest episode doubles down on the Star Trek feel, while reinforcing MacFarlane's place in the series.

It is the evening of Sunday September 24th as I write this op-ed for publishing tomorrow morning. I came up with its title on Tuesday September 18th. In it I’m predicting what will take place in the Senate Judiciary Committee later this week. I will not be able to be completely accurate on some details because despite supposedly diligent and exhausting negotiation as of this writing they are simply unresolved and therefore unknown. All that said I am confident that the title will be the final outcome in committee. Let’s explore.
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of attempting to rape her back when they were both in high school. Kavanaugh denies the accusation. Obviously one of them is at least inaccurate. The Committee’s job should be a search for the truth. I have every reason to believe that it is not.
This entire last week – including the time during which I am writing this article – has been taken up with negotiating the terms and circumstances of Dr. Ford’s testimony. They are still not completely resolved but I’ll tell you what we know to date.
Dr. Ford is to testify before the Committee on Thursday. Time, exact place (other than Capitol Hill) and exact terms are still up in the air. Dr. Ford asked to make her statement after Judge Kavanaugh made his. I think she will and should lose on that point. How does Kavanaugh defend himself from charges before they are brought?
Both have received death and other threats. Dr. Ford is asking that her safety be insured. I think that the safety of a witness being insured is an implied obligation of the Committee and should not even be a term subject to negotiation. I also think anyone caught threatening either should be arrested and prosecuted.
Dr. Ford has asked that the FBI investigate her allegations. President Trump and Republican Committee Chair Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa have blocked that investigation. Grassley says his Committee staffers will investigate. I wonder if that includes the guy who tweeted full steam ahead on the nomination or the guy who had to resign due to his own sexual harassment issues. Professor Ford is asking for an FBI investigation; that is not the usual act of a liar. Kavanaugh’s nominator, President Trump, spends countless hours avoiding talking to Robert Mueller and any of his FBI people. It appears that we have seen Kavanaugh lie to this Committee, there is reason to believe he has lied in past hearings. Trump and the Republicans suppressed more evidence than they presented during this hearing. Trump has set the equivalent of a land speed record for presidential lies. At this point I have to give the edge in credibility to Ford. The problem is the Republicans have never been and are not seeking the truth; they just want their man confirmed.
In addition to Grassley ten Republicans sit on the Committee, they are: Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee of Utah, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, John Cornyn and Ted Cruz of Texas, Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Jeff Flake of Arizona, Mike Crapo of Idaho, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and John Kennedy of Louisiana. Grassley is the Chair of one of the Senate’s most powerful committees. Hatch currently sits fourth in line to the Presidency. Cornyn is the number two Republican in Senate leadership. Graham and Cruz have run for president. I expect Flake and Sasse to run in 2020. Despite all that they want to hire a female outside council to question Dr. Ford. Is it lack of cerebral power or simply lack of courage? We have at least four men who feel qualified to be President of the United States but they are afraid to ask questions of a committee witness.
According to Dr. Ford there was a third person in the room where Kavanaugh attempted to rape her. His name is Mark Judge. She requests that he be subpoenaed to testify. To date Grassley and the Republicans have refused because Judge has stated he does not remember the incident and does not want to testify. I for one would like to get him to make that claim under oath. Oath is not a truth serum but it is interesting how sometimes the threat of perjury changes tunes.
One of the excuses many on the right are coming up with is that even if the charges are correct Kavanaugh was only 17. At least they are consistent. Trump was given “A mulligan” for his action up to the age of 70 including his admission of sexual assault in the Access Hollywood tape. My only question is if they are hypocrites or just plain fools.
One of the right wing criticisms of Dr. Ford is that she didn’t immediately report the rape attempt. She was 15 at the time; Donald Trump was 59 when he bragged about committing sexual assault. You draw your own conclusions from that juxtaposition of facts.
The only Republican I can possibly envision wavering is Flake and based on his track record that is extremely unlikely. The Republicans received their marching orders this weekend when Trump, Mike Pence and Mitch McConnell all addressed the Values Voter Summit (talk about not judging a book by the cover) and declared that Kavanaugh will be confirmed.
Grassley and his crew will give Professor Ford her say, question her in such a way as to intimidate any other women from coming forward with the audacity to try and disrupt their plots, tell her an insincere but requisite thank you and then quickly move Kavanaugh out of Committee with an 11-10 party line vote.

The camshafts of the F4R and K4M engines are located on top of the cylinder head.
One shaft opens the intake valves and the other the exhaust valves
Eight cams are made on each shaft.
The design feature of the camshafts is that the cams are pressed onto the tubular shaft.
Camshaft beds (six bearings for each shaft) are detachable - located in the cylinder head and in the head cover.
Camshaft drive - toothed belt from the crankshaft pulley.
On each camshaft, on the side of the toothed pulley, a thrust flange is made, which enters the groove of the cylinder head, thereby preventing axial movement of the shaft.
The camshaft pulley is not fixed on the shaft with a tight fit, key or pin, but only due to the friction forces that occur on the end surfaces of the pulley and shaft when the pulley fastening nut is tightened.
The toe of the camshaft is sealed with an oil seal, put on the neck of the shaft and pressed into the socket formed by the surfaces of the cylinder head and the head cover.
To remove the camshafts, you will need tools: wrenches for 8, 10, 13, 16, sockets for 10, 16, 18, 17, Torx E14, Torx T8, Torx T14 wrenches, bronze drift, engine support, clamp for TDC setting, camshaft retainer.
Preparing the car for the task.
Release the pressure in the power system (article - Replacing the Renault Duster additional fuel filter)
Disconnect the negative battery terminal
Remove the timing belt as described in the article - " Checking and replacing the timing belt of a Renault Duster car»
Disconnecting the exhaust pipe from the exhaust manifold (article - Removing the elements of the Renault Duster exhaust system)
Removing the receiver (article - Removing and installing the Renault Duster engine receiver)
Removing the cylinder head cover (Removing the Renault Duster cylinder head cover)
Remove the exhaust camshaft
Remove the intake camshaft
Inspecting the camshafts for wear and defects
The surfaces of bearing journals "B" and cams "A" must be well polished and without damage.
On the working surfaces of the necks, scuffing, nicks, scratches, aluminum enveloping from the bearing seats in the block head are not allowed.
If traces of seizing, overheating, deep scratches or wear in the form of a cut, as well as uniform wear of more than 0.5 mm, are found on the working surfaces of the cams, the shaft must be replaced.
We thoroughly clean the oil supply channels from deposits.
Camshaft lobes must not be ground to eliminate stepped wear, as changing the size of the cam profile will disrupt the valve timing.
Checking the radial runout.
If the runout is more than 0.02 mm, the shaft must be replaced, since its editing is not allowed.
Install the shafts in reverse order.
When installing new shafts, it is recommended to install new valve levers.

I wrote! Reader NotesGo to section
This cordovan band gives you the best rocanrols, to move the body, streamline the mind and brighten the soul. They're Cuatro al Hilo and make rock-rockers.
This band is a classic. From their birth to the present time they are recognized in the world of Cordovan rock , and in 2003, they made their first rehearsals. A year later they decided to debut as a band. They consolidated as a group with 10 songs in their musical repertoire. A name identifies them: Four to the Thread.
Los Cuatro al Hilo were born with the aim of honoring the great national rock bands . It is a very argento group, which worships Argentine rock rocanrol. So they produce covers of the great artists of our territory.
Cuatro al Hilo is composed by Álvaro Ponce on the electric guitar and choirs. Andrés Carnero on bass and Franco Ronchetti with his vocals and choirs. In addition, Mario Carnero on drums and Santiago Sesin with his electric guitar and choirs. It's more than four, and they break it.
On stage and off stage, they unsew it. Since its inception they were well received by the Cordovan audience , and in 2004 they recorded their first album and performed it on “Carreras”. So, they became acquaintances. They had the opportunity to sign a contract with Quilmes to make a tour throughout the national territory. The dream of the kids. Four al Hilo packed his instruments and started a trip. Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Entre Rios, Jujuy, Tucuman, Santiago del Estero, San Luis, Chaco, Catamarca and Santa Fe delighted with their hits.
So, they came to the big big stage: Cosquín Rock . The biggest rock event, which is Argentinean and Cordovan, would be the first time, of many. Since this festival didn't stop calling them. In 2010 they released their second album. Deployment began . Radios, bowliches, events, festivals and different artists asked Cuatro al Hilo to play some songs. These Cordobeses played for all or the world : Chile, Bolivia and Mexico listened to them.
Today they have 7 discs in their production. And they shared the stage with thousands of artists. Even with the Guns N' Roses! We Cordobses follow them everywhere. Four to the Hilo, on stage, is all that's okay.

Top quality lip enhancement surgeon in Santa Barbara, CA and lip augmentation advices? Small cannulas are inserted through the small cuts in your skin to remove the underlying fat using suction. These cannulas are moved around the area to suction this unwanted fat. During the tumescent liposuction, only local anesthesia is used mixed with a vasoconstrictor drug to reduce bleeding risk compared to other techniques developed in the past. The doctor will guide you about the preparation for your procedure and give you some instructions similar to these: Smoking needs to be stopped two weeks before surgery; otherwise, it will interfere with wound healing. Do not remove hair in the areas close to being treated to avoid further ingrown hairs. Avoid consuming drinks or food the night before surgery. Do not wear tight or difficult clothes to remove.
Getting Botox is not a moral failing. Because of my previously held opinions about Botox, a part of me felt that to try it would mean selling out on my principles. Plus, as a deeply religious person, I’ve always subscribed to the belief that vanity is a sin. But I’ve come to believe that the desire to look attractive (or at least not look angry) is natural and good. If I could prevent myself from frowning on my own power, I would do so! It doesn’t bother me to use a little medical help to get there.
Those who are considering a nose job in the Santa Barbara area would do well to learn more about discovering how the SB Aesthetics surgeons can assist them. Achieving more balanced facial aesthetics and receiving a more aesthetically pleasing profile and balanced facial aesthetics are both goals that are well within your grasp. The top candidates are patients who are in search of an improvement when it comes to the way that their nose looks. Perfection is not promised nor should it be expected. A physically healthy patient who is realistic in their expectations and psychologically stable is the most ideal candidate. A good candidate for nose reshaping surgery could be someone who was born with a nose that makes them feel self-conscious or unhappy with their outward physical appearance. Other candidates may have dissatisfaction by how the shape of the nose has transformed with the aging process. Even the slightest augmentation of the nasal structure can have a huge impact on the personal appearance and related social interaction. Plastic surgery can reshape the bridge of the nose, the tip or other structural issues to restore balance to the face.
Lip enhancement covers a wide range of procedures that bring about a restoration of the natural curves of the lips or helps to accent an already existing curve. This aesthetic procedure also covers enhancement of the Cupid’s bow. Aside from enhancing the symmetric of the lip, this procedure also caters to individuals who may want a stronger definition, perhaps a more defined vermilion border. The lip enhancement procedure can be of help to individuals whose gums become visible when they smile or those with uneven lips. This procedure can be temporary or permanent depending on the procedure. For temporary lip enhancement, patients would need repeated treatments. This cosmetic procedure tends to be carried out more on the upper lip than the lower lip. To determine the best approach to employ, an experienced plastic surgeon will consider your entire face, not only your lips. A good enhancement procedure will blend with your natural look and not stand out, thus overpowering your face. Discover more details on https://sbaesthetics.com/lip-augmentation/.
A healthy diet will always contribute a little or even a lot to the success and experience of your surgery. Eating healthy also contributes positively to your mental health. Having stable mental health going through a process that can be strenuous on the mind and body is essential. If you are a smoker, you should definitely consider either quitting or taking a break a month around the surgery. Smoking can slow down the healing process.
The skin may have a slightly warm feeling and a red appearance, but it is nothing that cannot be hidden by makeup (although most patients are not going to want to hide their newfound glow). The skin experiences a number of immediate benefits, such as a smoother appearance, tightening, brightening, increased lift, and added clarity. These results are cumulative, so patients who go often are rewarded with a better look. The majority of aestheticians suggest receiving a medical facial once every 30 days but it can be tough to fit these appointments into our schedules. In these instances, quarterly treatments are very beneficial, as well. At the very least, patients should receive these facials whenever they have free time because they are proven to provide a helpful boost to our skincare routines.
Lines on neck. Your neck also can be a casualty of aging. It is common for lines to develop around the neck horizontally. Botox is a tool that can be used to minimize these lines. Sun damage, the decrease of collagen and elastin, in addition to the decreasing in strength of the underlying platysma muscle can cause horizontal neck lines which are also known as the necklace lines. Botox injections to this area are used above and below and along the length of the lines. It is common practice to be conservative for neck line injections so as to not affect the patient’s ability to swallow so the injections are given in multiple applications.
What is a septoplasty? A septoplasty is often done with a rhinoplasty and it is called a septorhinoplasty. Septorhinoplasty is an operation that corrects the inside of the nose while correcting the outside. Unfortunately, I see patients who have had rhinoplasty without a septoplasty and now can’t breathe properly. When you are evaluated, ask your doctor if there are any functional problems inside your nose so that they can be corrected at the same time. If your doctor is unable to correct them at the same time, you should probably seek another opinion.
Restylane is a line of hyaluronic acid–based facial fillers that help smooth wrinkles and plump your cheeks and lips. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in our skin, especially in connective tissue. It’s typically used in cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, and around your mouth. Restylane was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2003. It’s not approved for use in those under the age of 21. Common side effects include swelling, bruising, pain, itching at the injection site, and headache.
For those considering this treatment, it is important you have proper knowledge of the attendant risks and benefits of the available procedures. Lip fillers have the advantage of being temporal and less invasive. This way, the patient can know how their lips will appear after treatment before they opt for a more permanent procedure. Below are some of the other reasons why lip fillers are a better choice; It creates a faster result. In one or two weeks following the lip injections, the swelling or bruising will have disappeared allowing you to see how your lips will look for the next few months. It is apt for people who are not sure of how much augmentation they want It is the best alternative to surgery.
The mini facelift under local anesthesia is customized for each individual patient. Dr. Sheffield evaluates the patient’s skin, face and underlying bone structure during the initial consultation. He will also speak with patients regarding their surgical goals and ultimately set the correct expectations. Medical conditions that could lead to complications during or after surgery are discussed as well. Patients who have blood clotting problems, high blood pressure, and excessive scarring must tell their surgeon about these issues. Medications and drug use also need to be spoken about in an open forum because of their potential effect on the procedure. See extra information on sbaesthetics.com. So, how long do lip fillers last? Most fillers last between six to eight months and most people get their lips topped up every six months to a year; it all depends one your budget and what kind of look your going for. What are lip injections made of? Collagen: Collagen is a type of protein found naturally in the body. The effects of these injections last three to four months. Hyaluronic acid: This is the type Juvederm is based on, the filler Kylie Jenner swears by. Injections using Hyaluronic acid last four to six months.

The Stanford Prison Experiment – SOLD OUT
Can we really resist evil? This intense thriller tells the story of The Stanford Prison Experiment, Philip Zimbardo’s now-infamous 1971 psychological study which was designed to explore the impact on people of being imprisoned.
During the study, which was funded by the US Office of Naval Research, a group of male students were randomly selected to be prisoners or guards and introduced to the specially converted basement prison at Stanford University psychology department. Zimbardo intended his study to test the impact of situational power and powerlessness – but nobody was prepared for the results.
Join Seena Fazel, Professor of Forensic Psychiatry at Oxford University after the movie to discuss the psychology beyond the screen.

A Ms Ho Soak Harn (who's that?) made news today by saying that she is leaving Reform Party for good.
For those of you who is hearing this "Ho Soak Harn" name for the first time, she was actually the Head of the Women's Wing of the Reform Party before she quitted today.
According to Today Newspapers, Ho Soak Harn cited the reason of her departure from RP to join NSP because she has "close relationship" to some NSP members.
After some research, we found out the REAL reason:
The Online Citizen Article: “If you want alternative voices, go to the other political parties,” the MC added, “We intend to be the next government!” The crowd cheered.
Apparently, Ho Soak Harn just wants to be an alternative voice.
Vote Ho Soak Harn. Vote NSP for an alternative voice!

The Defund Hate Campaign is led by a coalition of organizations that represent directly impacted immigrant communities, faith leaders, and civil and immigrant rights advocates.
We are committed to divestment from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), agencies that tear apart loved ones and harm our communities. Instead, we want our tax dollars used to strengthen our families and communities. We are committed to investment in education, housing, green infrastructure and health care programs that create thriving communities.
Our elected officials say they care about our communities but, at the same time, they choose to fund immigration enforcement, deadly immigration jails and border militarization. Members of Congress must vote against wasting taxpayer dollars on the abusive and deadly immigration enforcement system. They must be held accountable. They must show up for the immigrant community.
The right to be treated with dignity and the rights to family unity, freedom and wellness should not be contingent on one’s place of birth. Yet for too long, immigrants living in American communities have suffered under a cloud of fear of detention or deportation based on arbitrary raids and racial profiling.
The federal government spends billions of dollars each year on immigration enforcement rooted in racial bias that spreads fear and uncertainty in immigrant communities. For centuries, laws around immigration have been created to keep specific populations out of the United States or to profit off of their incarceration. From the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, to laws that criminalize crossing or re-crossing the border, to a 1996 law that further punishes over-policed immigrant communities, the list of tactics to incarcerate and deport immigrants has continued to grow.
ICE and CBP demand more money every year to fund increased militarization at the border and in U.S. cities, more detention beds, and escalating enforcement operations in the interior. In addition, these agencies have raided the accounts of agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Administration and the Coast Guard. As a result, U.S. taxpayers are paying billions of dollars to lock up immigrants and asylum seekers in a detention system known for conditions so punishing that immigrants and asylum seekers are engaging in hunger strikes, and suicide attempts are increasingly common. Much of this money goes to enrich for-profit prison corporations.
Every time ICE and CBP have demanded money, Congress has handed it over. Even after it has come to light that these agencies are taking money from other vital government programs, Congress has failed to place limits on their ability to continue siphoning money.
As a member of the Defund Hate campaign, NIJC calls on Congress to stop funding the hateful policies enacted by ICE and CBP, and instead invest that money into communities, using tax dollars to provide better schools, green infrastructure, and robust health and nutrition programs. We recognize that there is a better way to welcome people into the country, including community-based programs with proven positive outcomes.

When, on Friday July 4th, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll presses a button or pulls a lever at the Rosyth Naval Dockyard on the Firth of Forth sending a bottle of fine Islay Malt whiskey directly onto the bows of the largest and most powerful ship ever built for the Royal Navy, a new era of carrier strike capability will have been born. In terms of size, scale and ability to deliver increased strategic effect and international influence the two aircraft carriers under construction for the Royal Navy represent a step change in military capability and delivery, defence diplomacy and in the unmatched ability and skills of the UK industrial base.
With the official naming of HMS Queen Elizabeth, the first of two new 65,000 tonne aircraft carriers under construction by BAE Systems and Aircraft Carrier Alliance partners about to take place the first ship in CVF programme is entering a new and very important final construction stage ahead of planned Royal Navy commissioning in 2017. The official ceremony is not just a landmark in the plan for future UK defence capability it is, as the most complex warship ever built in the UK, one that should also be considered a triumph not only for UK manufacturing, but for the partnership between the MOD and the defence industrial base. Indeed, it is a time that industry, military and the nation as a whole really should be proud of the enormity and scale of what has been achieved in the CVF programme.
I do not intend to go into the history of politically induced delays that clearly impacted on cost of the CVF programme or indeed, into the perceived merits or otherwise of carrier strike capability. My view is that in this particular week we should be celebrating real achievement, real triumph and real industrial success by the Aircraft Carrier Alliance rather than posturing more criticism on past defence decisions by government.
I take the view that we are where we are in terms of future defence capability and affordability but I also believe that in a fast changing geo-political world we will, perhaps sooner than we currently imagine, turn a corner in terms of realisation that we need to spend more rather than less on defence capability, and for the important role that we play in NATO and in defending dependent territories, not to mention disaster relief assistance and of how we wish to project ourselves. Ten years from now I believe that we will look back on decisions to rebuild and deploy carrier strike capability as having been the absolute right one to take.
Clearly, during the CVF process there have been many politically induced mistakes not least some of those made in SDSR 2010 such as the immediate scrapping of HMS Ark Royal V and the Harrier GR9 force that left a huge gap in air and maritime force capability. Similarly the decision to reverse the original intention not to fit ‘cats and traps’ to the carriers proved to be one that provided an unacceptable degree of additional risk. That the SDSR 2010 decision to retrofit an EMALS system of ‘cats and traps’ was itself to be reversed two years later is in my view to be praised. Summing up, I would have to remind that CVF is not alone in having suffered political indecision. Indeed, it may be useful to remind that each and every UK aircraft carrier programme since 1944 has met with political hostility and indecision. That HMS Hermes, HMS Ark Royal lV and indeed, the three Invincible Class carriers of which HMS Illustrious is now the last still commissioned had been built at all may be regarded as a miracle. However, when we recall the many subsequent achievements of what all these fine ships delivered in their time, let that act as a useful reminder of the importance of carrier strike capability, for the deterrent force capability offered, defence diplomacy and projection or for the role played in NATO.
HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales
Providing EIGHT acres of sovereign UK territory that can be deployed around the world, the two carriers which are 280 metres in length, have a range of 10,000 nautical miles and displacement of 65,000 tonnes are the largest and most powerful ships ever to have been constructed for the Royal Navy. Initially carrying a range of helicopters from 2020 the capability of HMS Queen Elizabeth will be enhanced with as the first STOVL versions of the F35 Joint Strike Fighter Lightning 11 aircraft operating from the massive deck. The Royal Navy’s upgraded fleet of carrier borne AgustaWestland Merlin Mk 2 helicopters are to be fitted with Crowsnest, an early-warning system using high power radar to provide long-range air, maritime and land tracking capabilities. Crowsnest will be an integral part of future carrier operations. The carriers will also be fitted with Phalanx, a radar-controlled Gatling gun that fires 20mm shells at a rate of 3,000 rounds per minute.
While the first of the two new carriers is about to be formally named, the mid-section of the second carrier HMS Prince of Wales, known as Lower Block 03, is due to arrive in Rosyth during July. A point worth making here is that considerable efficiency savings have been made due to lessons learned from the construction of the first ship. Two years behind the first of class ship the current plan in SDSR 2010 envisaged that HMS Prince of Wales would, when completed in 2019 move through a process of “extended readiness” that could extend several years. A final decision on the second carrier along with the number of F-35B variants likely to be ordered has been left to SDSR 2015. I will not speculate further but my hope is that both HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales will be commissioned for the carrier strike capability role as opposed to one of the ships potentially being sold. Much will also depend on whether the government seeks to increase defence spending, as it would need to do, if we are to remain over a desired 2% GDP spending limit.
Initiated in 1999 as the CVF project the history relating to final design agreement and contract award of the two aircraft carriers is long and highly complicated. In 2003/4 it looked quite possible that France might also join the programme but due to a variety of political and industrial complications this idea eventually subsided. Following several years of discussion and delay, planning arrangements that would lead to an eventual formal go-ahead for the CVF programme began to be put in place during 2005. In December of that year then Defence Secretary, John (now Lord) Reid announced formal plans for construction of the carriers by the Carrier Alliance. Further political debate on the issue continued and further progress did not occur until the 25th July 2007 when another Defence Secretary, this time Des Browne, confirmed the intention to place orders for the carriers. Eight months later in February 2008 then Prime Minister, Gordon Brown confirmed that the carriers would be built but once again, no date or indication of timing was given. However, in the same month Babcock International was awarded a £35m contract to modify and enlarge the No 1 dock gate at Rosyth in order to accommodate final assembly of the carriers. Indeed, various orders for material supply and equipment also occurred at that time and in July 2008 it was confirmed by the Government that orders worth £3bn had been signed, rather ironically on-board the now scrapped HMS Ark Royal V, between the MOD and the Aircraft Carrier Alliance.
Having personally visited BAE Systems Glasgow yards twice over the past three years to witness at first hand progress on the modular based construction process development I have on both occasions been hugely impressed. While the UK had retained requisite design and construction skills for the building of Royal Navy warships due to the size of the planned two carriers and the limit in terms of certain capacity; BAE Systems’ decision to adopt a modular construction approach proved to be perfect. Having gained much experience in this method of build process, particularly through the Type 45 Destroyer programme, there was in fact little choice but to go down the modular construction route, simply because neither Govan nor Scotstoun yards had an existing slipway long enough to build a full hull the size that the CVF ships had been designed.
Modular sections of the CVF ships were constructed at Govan and Scotstoun on the Clyde, and at BAE’s other shipyard in Portsmouth (formally part of VT), with final assembly taking place at Babcock International’s yard at Rosyth on the Firth of Forth. On completion and fitting, the massive modular sections are then moved by barge to Rosyth for placement and final assembly. The build arrangement required significant investment on the part of the partners particularly in widening the entrance at the Rosyth dockyard facility. The CVF programme has sustained over 7,000 jobs over the period construction so far peaking at a higher level than this. Over 100 UK companies have been involved in supply.
The current projected cost of the two Queen Elizabeth Class carriers following contract revisions recently agreed is put at £6.2bn.
With the naming of the ship by HM Queen Elizabeth 11 on Friday, and the subsequent floatation (sometimes rather strangely referred to as flooding), it is anticipated that, following integration and fitting out completion, the first ship, HMS Queen Elizabeth, will begin sea trials in 2017 and subsequently be handed over to the Royal Navy later that year. It is also anticipated that flights of the F-35B (STOVL) aircraft that are planned to be purchased from Lockheed Martin by the Government will occur in 2018.
Carrier Strike Capability
While the number of aircraft proposed to be acquired has never formally been confirmed, the belief is that 48 Joint Strike Fighter F-35 B STOVL variants will be acquired by the MOD.
So far the UK has ordered and received two operational test and evaluation (OT&E) aircraft (BK-1 and BK-2), and one training aircraft (BK-3). Another OT&E aircraft (BK-4) is believed to have been ordered. The intention is I believe that when all four aircraft have been delivered BK-1, BK-2, and BK-4 will transfer from Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) in Florida to Edwards Air Force Base in California later this year where it is proposed that they stand up as 17 (Fighter) Squadron for OT&E duties. BK-3 will remain at Eglin Air Base as part of the wider training fleet.
It is widely expected that the MOD will confirm purchase of 14 F-35B Lightning aircraft for delivery in 2016 and which are expected to be based at RAF Marham during the current month. These aircraft, purchased under Main Gate 4, are intended to allow 617 Squadron to stand up initially at Beaufort Pilot Training Centre, Marine Corp Air Station in South Carolina before the personnel and equipment is transferred to a revamped RAF Marham in April 2018. Initial operating capability is planned for December 2018.
The second UK F-35B unit will be formed by 809 Naval Air Squadron and which my understanding is that, as currently occurs in the US with the 50/50 joint Royal Air Force and Royal Navy shared basis of training personnel, will operate as combined unit with 617 Squadron.
As mentioned earlier, during 2018 F-35B operation on the first Royal Navy (HMS Queen Elizabeth) class carrier will commence, with a full operational capability both land and marine set for 2023. A decision on whether both carriers will be fielded will be announced in the Strategic Defence and Security Review [SDSR] in 2015. While the programme of record remains at 138 aircraft, no firm numbers will be announced until the SDSR in 2015.

Sean Dyche was reluctant to discuss Burnley’s latest spate of injuries but he insisted there is no disappointment at being unable to bolster his squad during the January transfer window.
Full-back Charlie Taylor, midfielders Josh Brownhill and Robbie Brady and strikers Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes would have been in contention to start against Manchester City on Wednesday but the quintet were all sidelined.
Dyche was coy about whether those players would be available to face Brighton on Saturday afternoon although he is hopeful none of them will be on the treatment table for a long spell
“I’m not a superstitious fella but whenever I talk about it we seem to get more injuries, so I’m trying to be open-minded about the use of how I talk about it,” the Burnley manager said.
“I don’t think it’s going to be long periods from now. The hardest thing at the moment is not throwing them back in and then re-injuring them. The game schedule has been tough but it’s tough for everyone.
“The demands of the Premier League are there for all to see, we’ve got to keep going as we will do and whatever comes our way we’ll put out a team that we believe can win.”
Delaware-based investment firm ALK Capital completed its takeover of Burnley on New Year’s Eve and despite plenty of speculation linking several players with a move to the club, nothing materialised.
“There’s no disappointment, it’s happened to me many times,” he said. “It’s the reality of being at Burnley Football Club, I’m used to the idea that sometimes we can’t get players in or over the line.
“We’ll see what the future brings but that’s something I’m used to, so I’ve never been disappointed. I’m more focused on the players we’ve got, we’ve got some very good ones.”
In the absence of several first-teamers, they lost 2-0 to City, who moved three points clear at the top of the Premier League and stretched their winning streak to 13 matches in all competitions.
Dyche, though, insists that with the season a little over halfway through, Pep Guardiola’s side cannot take anything for granted.
“Whatever side you are, however much you spend, it’s not easy to win titles,” Dyche said. “There are a lot of myths about that but it’s not easy. They’re a top side but they still have work to do, they’ll know that.

I have been privileged to be an observer of human compassion at work…..and see its power.
This is an upclose and personal experience but we will probably soon see how compassion is going to go big scale when we see a movement toward the millions of Syrian refugees and their acceptance to many countries around the world. The recent image of the little boy on the beach is powerful and will move millions of people to reach out…….and demand that their governments reach out. Let’s hope they do.
My personal experience is with a sudden health issue, not immediate family but extended family. As the story spread about multiple health issues, hundreds of people stepped up. Whether it was with donations, prayers or well wishes, it was huge and contributed to a significant reduction of human suffering, perhaps even recovery.
Yes, we can reduce human suffering. We can reach out to people in difficult circumstances, offer help, indicate well wishes, prayers, whatever you can do. Some people can do more, some less, but it is all equally important. By reducing suffering, we can change the world.
“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.”
“Love’s the only engine of survival”

I am not going to lie: being a film critic does not make you friends. It took a while for me to internalize that fact. People have come up to me just to tell me how wrong my opinion of a film is. People have asked me if I still enjoy films or if there is a film out there that meets my standards. To be honest, there are dozens of films that I personally love. It just so happens that some of the newer releases haven’t been exactly good in my eyes.
What is a “good” film? That is something that every film critic has to ask themselves before taking on this role. This is before the realization hits that there is no such thing as a bar for “good” films. There is, however, one for “bad” films. Films that are lazy, uninspired, monotonous, money-grabbing, heartless projects that only seek to break the box office. I think people dislike my opinions because I sound like I am only seeking the bad and nitpicking the details like some kind of sadistic vulture. I admit that I do nitpick films, but only in the name of love. If one has to find flaws in a film, they either love it or want to find reasons to hate it. I despise terrible films, but there is a line even in “bad” films. There are films that I love to hate, like Sharknado, National Treasure, and Good Burger. Nothing is more relaxing than watching a terrible movie just to laugh at how bad it is. On the other side, there are films that are not just horrible, but boring. Case in point: Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Was this movie terrible? Yes. Was it enjoyably terrible? No. Films like these are what I try to avoid. Films that are so bad that they cannot even entertain the audience. Films that make you ask yourself why you are spending your precious time on this planet consuming this garbage. This past year has made me realize how many truly “bad” films there can be.
However, this year also made me realize that there are films which are neither good nor bad. Finding neutral or average films was more commonplace than I thought. After a year of reviewing more than a dozen films, it does feel like there were quite a few films which were just average, vanishing quickly from memory. I had a couple of these films pop up this year and I was not sure what to make of them at first. Saying that a film is average gives people more questions than answers. Would they have fun? Would they dislike it? Would they be bored? It was strange to write some of these reviews.
But that is what leads me to say that the biggest thing I learned from this experience is that a fantastic film will simply be a film that resonates with you.
When I say resonate, I do not mean that this film will just connect with you, but it will speak to you. It is a dialogue. An intelligible and interesting dialogue between a person and film; this is what I believe makes films and other artistic mediums amazing, essentially the ability to create meaningful dialogues between people. There are plenty of films that I argued against, but they almost certainly resonated with at least one viewer. Some people prefer simple dialogues, others prefer complex, or intellectual, or emotional, etc. The point is that film, at the end of the day, is all about perspective.
My word of advice to you, dear reader, is that you should never take my opinion or any critic’s opinion of a film to heart. Film is a fantastic medium that lets us get lost in a totally different world for a few hours at a time. Regardless of whether someone says this film is bad or that film is good, I suggest seeing if it piques your interest. Have fun with it. I am just a 20 year old college student with an opinion and love for film. What do I know?

The Supreme court will hear on December 5 a PIL by BJP leader and Advocates Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay seeking a direction to the Centre and states to take measures to check forcible and fraudulent religious conversion by threat and inducements.
On December 3, The Gujarat Government had filed and an affidavit in supreme court supporting the demand for a strict law on forceful religious conversions in the country.
Home Department of Government of Gujarat in its affidavit said that the right to freedom of religion does not include a fundamental right to convert other people to a particular religion.“The said right (to freedom of religion) certainly does not include the right to convert an individual through fraud, deception, coercion, allurement or other such means,it added
The meaning and purport of the word ‘propagate’ falling under Article 25 of the Constitution was discussed and debated in great detail in the constituent assembly and the inclusion of the said word was passed by the constituent assembly only after the clarification that the fundamental right under Article 25 would not include the right to convert,Home Department, Government of Gujarat said
During the last hearing, the bench of Supreme Court, comprising of Justices MR Shah and CT Ravikumar directed the Centre to file a detailed affidavit on the issue after discovering information from states. Maintaining that there cannot be any forced conversion, it observed, “You file a detailed affidavit after obtaining the necessary information from the concerned States”.
The petitioner also sought an investigation for foreign-funded NGOs alleging their role involved in forced religious conversion. State like Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Haryana have legislation in place on forced conversion as law and order is a state subject

Manchester United shut training ground and delay Brentford trip as postponement discussions continue
Manchester United’s Premier League match against Brentford on Tuesday remains in doubt after the club confirmed they have cancelled training and shut down first-team operations at Carrington in an attempt to contain a Covid outbreak.
The club have also confirmed they are in discussions with the Premier League about whether it is safe to play the Brentford game “both from a Covid inflection and player preparation perspective”. The club will delay travelling to London while they await a decision.
Some players and staff returned positive Covid-19 tests on Sunday morning. Those who tested positive were sent home before training. The rest of the group trained outdoors, with schedules adjusted to accommodate individual and non-contact sessions.

Father of Henry Bernard Feldhaus Jr. Born: November 28,1818 Died: February 18, 1901 Wesphalia,
Married on 6 November 1849 Maria Catharina Holstiege, born 15 September 1821 in Roxel, Germany to
Johann Heinrich Holstiege and Theresia Wulf. She died 10 February 1901 in Wesphalia, TX. Both are buried in St.
Mary's Cemetery, Westphalia, TX.
This Feldhaus family came to the U.S. from the town of Roxel, outside Munster Germany, in the Province of Westphalia
(Westfalen) where they had lived for hundreds of years. They attended the Pantaleon Catholic Church in Roxel.
While his son, Henry Bernard Feldhaus, Jr., eventually settled in Lawrenceburg, TN, he and his wife and daughter stayed there
until 15 August 1884 when they moved to Texas where they eventually settled in the small town of Westphalia, TX
between Dallas and Austin, just below Waco, TX. See more about Wesphalia, TX below.
The map below is interactive. You can click on the icons on the map for more information and
move the map around or enlarge or shrink it. Enjoy!
According to Kathleen Sudduth Niedergeses, who obtained this information from the church they attended in Germany, Bernard
Heinrich and Maria Catharina Holstiege Feldhaus had two children who were born in Germany and died in Germany at a young age.
Bernard Anton Feldhaus was born on 5 June
1852 in Roxel, Munster, Germany,
and baptized on 5 June 1852by
the church Chaplain Schafmann.He died on 29 May 1863
in Roxel, Munster, Germany,
and was buried on 1 June 1863 in Roxel,
Munster, Germany.The cause
of death was typhoid fever.
Catharina Elisabeth Feldhaus was born on 24 September 1854
in Roxel, Munster, Germany,
and baptized on 26 September 1854 in Roxel,
Munster, Germany, by the church Chaplain Baune.She died on 9 May 1862 in Roxel,
Munster, Germany, and was buried on 12 May 1862 in Roxel, Munster,
Germany.The cause of death was scrofula – a
disease affecting tissues in the young causing them to be susceptible to consumption, swelling of glands, etc.
This sister ship, the SS Deutschland, was built a year later and
sailed the same route as the SS Hermann described below and looks closer to that description.
Bernard Heinrich Feldhaus came to the US from Germany aboard the ship SS Hermann, arriving at Castle Garden, NY
on April 27, 1868. His occupation was listed as Maurer (Bricklayer) . According to Clara Feldhaus, his father
was a butcher. However, his army records indicate his father was a weaver.

make the passage. We have heard that they came to the US so their son would not have to fight in the wars of German
unification that Bismark was undertaking at that time.
He was 49 when he arrived in the U.S. The family came
to Cincinnati, Ohio, where there were a number of German Catholics. They lived in Boone County, KY, across
the river from Cincinnati, and then bought land outside Lawrenceburg Tennessee, and moved there with their families
According to Kathleen Sudduth Niedergeses, who obtained this information from the church they attended, two of the children
died before they reached Lawrenceburg.
Gertrude Paulina Feldhaus was born on 12
October 1856 in Roxel, Munster, Germany,
and was baptized on 14 October 1856 in Roxel,
Munster, Germany, by the church Chaplain Baune.She died between 1868 and 1871 in Kentucky or Ohio,
and is buried there.
Johann Bernard Feldhaus was born on 8 July 1863 in Roxel, Munster, Germany,
and was baptized on 11 July 1863 in Roxel,
Munster, Germany, by the church Pastor Poppe.He died between 1868 and 1871 in Kentucky or Ohio.
Heinrich's daughter Annie Feldhaus, photo below, married Joseph Sutter August 27, 1882 in Lawrenceburg. On
15 August 1884 Annie, Joseph, and Henry's parents moved to Wesphalia, TX. I believe they were drawn to the town
by the large number of Germans who had immigrated from their home, Westphalia, in Germany, finally settling in this area.
In 1879 several immigrants from the Westphalia province in Germany moved from
Frelsburg Texas ("A" in the map above) into the area they named after their homeland province, Westphalia ("B" in the map
above).There were thirteen families on 270-acres of homestead plots by 1884 when Annie arrived with her
husband and parents.

Annie Feldhaus was born 25 February 1859 and died on 13 June 1935. She is buried in the Sacred Heart Catholic Cemetery,
Lott, TX, about ten miles north east of Westphalia.
Annie's children are John Henry Maria, Henry Bernard Joseph, Hohn Melchoir William, John William Maria, Franz Joseph,
Hermann, Joseph Henry Alfons, Henry Anthony, Alfons Alois, Bernard Alois, and Anna Maria.

Following is the information from the St. Mary's Cemetery.
The Church of the Visitation was burned to the ground on 29 July 2019. The cause of the fire
is not known, but the parish continues to meet with hopes of building a new church soon.
Soon after they settled in the area, Westphalia's first families
named their community after the Westphalia province in Germany from which many of them had immigrated. They began having Sunday
prayer meetings in the home of Theodore Rabroker, the first settler. These were times of worship and fellowship, and because
they were pleased with the soil and location, the German natives purchased 100 acres of land for a church and school. Their
efforts were thwarted, however, when the first two structures were destroyed by storms in the early 1880's. During a meeting
on Christmas Eve in 1893, Rev. Michael Heintzelman recommended building a new and larger church. After Rev. H M. Simoni drew
the plans and Andreus Fuchs of Tours was hired as contractor, work began shortly after the new year. All the stone for the
foundation was shipped by rail to Lott from a quarry in Muldoon, Texas, and the timber was brought from Waco. Parishioners
volunteered to haul, without charge, all building materials from the nearest railroad. As many as 80 loads were hauled with
wagons from Lott in one day - a distance of eight miles.
The church was designed in the shape of a Latin cross with
a bell tower on each side of its center area, it measures 120 feet long and 52 feet wide. To tolerate a strong wind, six inches
of sway was built into the towers. The towers are covered with copper sheeting and each is topped with a nine-foot stainless
steel cross. The middle section carries a six-foot cross.
The church contains more than 20 stained glass windows, all
shipped to Westphalia from Germany. The largest stained glass window is directly the main altar and depicts the Visitation
of the Blessed Virgin. The two side windows depict images of St Monica and the Archangel Michael. The main altar was purchased
for $700 and was shipped from Germany. The 11-foot pews are pine, and are hand planed and hand joined with screws. Several
pioneer families donated three large bells in the towers. Interior painting and decorations were originally done by H. A.
Sokolowski, an artist From Bernardo Prairie, Texas.
The Church of Visitation was completed in February of 1895
at a cost of $8,000, as most of the carpentry was done by parishioners. The Most Rev. N. A. Gallagher, D.D., Bishop of Galveston,
dedicated the new on May 23, 1895.
In 1914, a large, arched, dome-shaped structure was added to
the east end of the building, enlarging the sanctuary.
Donated by Mrs. Theresia Bockholt, the large pipe organ was
built in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1914, by Kilgen and Son, Inc. The choir loft was enlarged and the organ was installed in
March of 1921. It was refurbished in 1979 and is played each Sunday as well as on special occasions.
On December 31, 1978, the historical Church of the Visitation,
one of the largest wooden churches in the State of Texas, received official recognition with the erection of an official Texas
Historical Marker. On May 15, 1996, the community was recognized as a Rural Historic District, which encompasses 5,500 acres
of farmland, the church and many other historic sites in the area. The district is now listed in the National Register of
The religious character of the community
is evidenced from the 14 priests and 38 sisters who originated from the community. Today, the parish consists of 185 families
with 500 parishioners. Just as in the beginning, the church continues to be the center of all community activities. The annual
homecoming and picnic is held the second Sunday of October each year with a chicken and sausage meal along with games and
fun for the entire family. This event provides the major support for the church. Contributions are always accepted to defray
expenses of maintaining this historic church.
The below videos are of news reports the day the church burned to the ground.
Westphalia is dissected by State Highway 320, the shortest state highway in Texas, in western Falls County. In the summer
of 1879 several immigrants from the Westphalia province in Germany moved from Frelsburg, Texas, into the area. Early settlers
included Theodore Rabroker, John Bockholt, Casper Hoelscher, Frank Glass, Fritz Schneider, and Theodore Schneider. There were
thirteen families on 270-acres of homestead plots by 1884. The Church of the Visitation was completed in 1895 on 100 acres
of land high on a hill, and its picturesque twin towers can be seen for miles. A three-room school was constructed in 1896
and operated as a parochial school until 1935, when it was consolidated with the public school. The school received a historical
marker in 1982 and in 1989 held classes for kindergarten through eighth grade. The post office and the first store were opened
in 1887. P. A. Heckman was the first postmaster. The post office was closed in 1906, and mail was sent to Lott. Westphalia
had four businesses and a gin in 1892. By 1933 the population was 100; it was 300 in 1964, and in 1990 it was estimated at
324. The population dropped to 186 in 2000.

Josh Abbott Band Announce ‘The Highway Kind’ Album, Share Roving Title Track [Listen]
Josh Abbott Band have introduced their sixth studio album, The Highway Kind, with the set's lilting title track. The song celebrates one's journey toward fulfillment instead of focusing on an idealized destination.
Released earlier this month, the tune's twangy temperament and freewheeling lyrical drive should come as no surprise to fans of the country group who last released a full-length effort, Until My Voice Goes Out, in 2017. This time around, however, lead singer Josh Abbott says he's even more centered.
"The Highway Kind is the album I wish we had put out seven years ago," the musician explains. "The lyrics, the melodies, the subtle touches; this album is the very best effort from our group. These songs were brought to life and curated to reflect where my life is now: happy, fulfilled, blessed."
"From love songs to songs about friendship, from ballads to bangers, this album has it all. They're true-life songs," Abbott continues. "I hope people listen to this record and go, 'Man, Josh is in a great place.'"
The singer credits that grounded-ness to his newfound role as a father and a husband, per a press release. While composing The Highway Kind, Abbott and his wife relocated from Austin, Texas, to Nashville, Tenn., to soak in the songwriting scene. The band later gathered at Sonic Ranch studio, near El Paso, Texas, to cut the tracks. On the collection's first single and album opener, Abbott finds contentment in a life spent predominantly on the road:
"I was made for white lines / That go on and on forever / Guys like me don't count the days / We just stack the miles / I've always been the highway kind."
The album hits the streets on Nov. 13. Pre-orders are available now.
Josh Abbott Band's The Highway Kind Tracklist:
1. "The Highway Kind"
2. "Real Damn Good"
3. "Where I Wanna Be"
4. "Settle Me Down"
5. "The Luckiest"
6. "Little More You"
8. "One More Two Steps"
9. "Women and Wishes"
10. "Old Men and Rain"

I am a Third Culture Kid: Introduction
A third culture kid (TCK) has been defined as:
“A person who has spent a significant part of his or her developmental years outside the parents’ culture. The TCK builds relationships to all of the cultures, while not having full ownership of any. Although elements from each culture are assimilated into the TCK’s life experience, the sense of belonging is in relationship to others of a similar background.” (Pollock)
What does this mean? It means that my years growing up and living in South Korea, the Philippines, Grenada, and then the United States affected me, my cultural identity, and worldview in ways that make me different from a person who has lived in the same town, city, or country. Not better or superior; just different.
TCKs inhabit a cross-cultural and highly mobile environment. As a result, they are described as culturally sensitive, multilingual, possess high adaptability, and have truly multi-cultural perspectives and thought processes. Many writers and scholars have said that TCKs are the model citizens of the future global society, as they are products of a postmodern world where political borders and cultural differences cease to matter. As a TCK, I believe that being able to understand diverse perspectives can certainly benefit the world and can change how people view things like race, culture, nationalism, heritage, and the general idea of difference. I think that being a TCK is what interested me in majoring in Anthropology. While it all sounds very romantic, TCKs also face some key issues that tend to further confuse their own sense of identity.
One of the biggest (if not the most important) issues TCKs face personally is grappling with the idea of where “home” is. This is especially pronounced when faced with the question, “Where are you from?” I feel that TCKs are particularly sensitive to the implications of the question “Where are you from?”, which exacerbates the anguish of finding an appropriate answer. The question “Where are you from?” is loaded with expectations that wherever you lay your head at the end of the day dictates who you are, what your family is like, what religion you practice, what food you like to eat, and even what color your skin should be. This leads to the deeper assumption that where one lives or where one is a citizen must automatically be one’s “culture”, leading to a lot of stereotyping. Because TCKs grow up with diverse experiences and tend to be highly mobile, where one lays his/her head at the end of the day tends to change and can often be at odds with what kind of person you are. As a result, TCKs will argue that one’s parents’ cultures and one’s host culture are no indication of their cultural identity. Of course, they may be influenced by both, as they will undoubtedly be raised by parents who may identify with their own cultures and will have contact with the locals of the host culture. Nonetheless, because they do not have full ownership of either as a foreigner, TCKs inhabit an in-between space where they are products of both yet do not claim full identification with either. This in-between space is termed the “third culture”, hence the name “third culture kid.”
To illustrate, I don’t have “a hometown” in the conventional sense. The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines hometown as “the city or town where one was born or grew up; also : the place of one’s principal residence.” First, since I grew up in many places, by definition, I have more than one hometown. As a result, I feel uncomfortable with the idea that home is just one place. One can have homes all over the world. Second, the idea of a “principal residence” seems to me like a relative term, especially when one is mobile. Up until July, my “principal residence” was my apartment in Des Moines. Obviously, I don’t live there anymore, but does that then stop Des Moines from being my hometown? I feel that the idea of a hometown is another one of those ways to gauge where one “is from.” The conventional idea behind a hometown lead others to believe that, because I was born in Korea, I must speak Korean, or that, since I lived in Grenada, I must have some Afro-Caribbean ancestry and inserted the word “mon” at the end of every sentence. I don’t or didn’t do any of these things, but I did live and go to school in both countries, I ate local cuisine, I was friends with my neighbors, and my family shopped at all the same places that everyone else did. If that doesn’t make a place a home, then I don’t know what does.
The other important issue for TCKs is a sense of unresolved grief. High mobility allows TCKs to experience many different cultures, either through moving or by having friends come and go. While this lends itself to a more cross-cultural lifestyle, it also sets the TCK up for feelings of loss and culture shock that may or may not be addressed fully, due to pressure to adapt to the new environment. Homesickness also pervades as a form of grief, where TCKs often miss their old homes and must deal with the question of whether they will be able to return.
During my teenage years, I remember constantly badgering my dad about when we could go visit Grenada again. To this day, I still have not gone back for a visit. I still think about it a lot. However, I was able to visit Korea when I was 19, right before I started college. It is really funny how a physical place can elicit such a visceral reaction in a person. Little things like a storefront or a street corner brought back so many memories I didn’t even know I had, of afternoon strolls or morning walks to school. I revisited old haunts and was able to go to the hospital where I was born and meet the woman who helped me come into the world. Despite not having lived there in 14 years, in a way, being there made me feel complete and like I had found my way home again. Even just two months ago, when I had a stopover in Seoul, I felt at ease looking out the window and knowing that I was nearer to all the spaces I had once inhabited. I hope to someday go and visit again. I also hope that one day soon, I can feel the same way upon setting foot in Grenada and the U.S. again.
I’m not worried, though. To a TCK, the world is so small that distance is never an issue. When the next trip comes is only a matter of when.

UKIAH, 2/1/2017 — There will be a reading from a collection of stories about a much-loved cherry orchard at the Ukiah library on Sunday, February 5, from 2pm to 3:30pm. The editor, local historian and author Dot Brovarney, and contributors Mary Buckley, Yvonne Kramer, Phyllis Mervine, Yoli Rose, Jill Scott, & Amy Wachspress will read and sign copies of the book. Here is the press release from the library:
Join us at the Library for cherry stories from the Sweet Life. The Sweet Life, edited by historian Dot Brovarney, offers a rich bounty of tales with a common thread: our community’s deep respect, gratitude, and love for a pair of Ukiah ranchers and their cherry orchard. Storytellers recount the joys of picking cherries at Butler Ranch and remember the warmth and openheartedness that characterized George and Ella Butler. The legacy of the Butlers’ commitment to land and community continues, holding a place at the Butler Community Orchard and in our hearts always. The book, including seventy-five photographs, also features ranch history, family biographies, and poetry.
Dot Brovarney started in the history field as a volunteer researcher in the photographic archives of the San Diego Historical Society in the early 1980s. Eventually, she received her M.A. in History from UC Santa Barbara. She became Curator at the Mendocino County Museum in 1988, moving to the Grace Hudson Museum where she worked from 1990-1996. Her museum work included doing oral history with Pomo elder weavers and their families, culminating in the exhibit and book titled “Remember Your Relations” about Elsie Allen’s collection of historic Pomo baskets. Over the past twenty years, while raising a daughter, Dot continued doing history and other cultural projects in Mendocino County. She curated “A Passion for Plants & Place,” an exhibit on Carl Purdy at the County Museum. She also founded Mendocino LitFest and the Butler Cherry Ranch Project, and created historic walking tours for Ridgewood Ranch and downtown Ukiah. Currently, she is researching and writing a book about Lake Leonard in Reeves Canyon and promoting the just-published work, The Sweet Life.
