This was a fantastic house for a great week in Skye. We were 4 adults and 2 young children and there was plenty of space to spread out, unlike a lot of more traditional properties. Great kitchen, lovely bedrooms and a fab big lounge with the most amazing view over to Raasay. The owners leave a telescope in the lounge which was great, and we saw an eagle, buzzards and eventually an otter from the house. Sconser is a great base for the island, half way between Portree and Broadford which both have supermarkets. A local pub would be ideal (though we didn't try the local hotel to be fair). The owner is really helpful. Overall fantastic - a great find, which we'd love to revisit.
This place is really nice. The cottage is basically a fully self-contained part attached to a larger house where the hosts, Nikki and Angus (very friendly and helpful!) live. It's a two-story cottage with a nice, large, fully equipped kitchen (fridge, large oven and stove, microwave, dishwasher, washer, and dryer) and dining room on the lower floor, where you also have two bedrooms (a double and one with two single beds) and a bathroom with shower -- and the heated floors are a nice touch! On the top floor, there's another large double bedroom, a full bathroom (with bath and shower), and a very cozy living room with TV, DVD player, and even a selection of DVDs (which the kids appreciated very much!). There's also a nice telescope you can use to get close-up views of the bay and mountains opposite the cottage -- you really get an amazing view from the living room and dining room! The cottage is spotless (including the bathrooms) and very elegantly finished and furnished -- there's a lot of attention to detail, much more than you would typically expect from a rental accommodation. And its childproofed as well, except for the stairs (no barriers), in case that's relevant. The only thing I found a little disappointing was that all the "consumables" you use during your stay (and which in my experience with self-catering establishments are normally provided in ample amounts), such as toilet paper, paper towel, tea, coffee, sugar, etc., were only provided in bare minimum amounts -- a couple of spoonfuls of coffee and sugar, a few rolls of toilet paper; not nearly enough to last the entire week, requiring us to purchase all these things at the grocery store. Either you provide these items in sufficient quantities for the entire stay or you don't, but don't provide just enough for 1-2 days when you rent the place out for a week at a time... Also, items of which you need much smaller amounts over the course of a week than the smallest packaging you can buy (e.g. oil, vinegar, spices...) should also be provided (they were not, and we had to buy large bottles of each). I nearly reduced one star in my ranking for this, but decided not to in the end. The cottage is very well situated on Skye, with most of the major attractions and hikes/treks within a 0.5-1 hour drive away. There are grocery stores (Coop is the only chain on the island) and gas stations in Broadford (which you pass along the way from the Skye bridge, about 15 min before reaching the cottage) and Portree (the "capital" of the Isle of Skye), about a 15-min drive North past the cottage (the Coop in Broadford is much larger than the one in Portree). You've got a number of restaurants in Portree as well. With the one caveat above, I highly recommend this self-catering cottage.
This house is situated between Broeadford and Portree. It has beautiful views and is decorated to a very high standard. On arrival we were met by the owner who was so nice and very welcoming. We travelled with elderly parents who were very comfortable in one of the downstairs bedrooms , one bathroom was straight across the hall from their room. We couldn't fault the house at all but sadly the garden with patio was not at all evident. We had beautiful weather for the duration of our holiday but there was nowhere to sit comfortably to enjoy the outdoors. The side and back of house was overgrown, uneven and untidy. I managed to find four plastic chairs next to an old shed but sitting on them was difficult as the ground was uneven. I even weeded the front to tidy it up a bit!! However it is a great base for exploring Skye and definitely would return . A nice outdoor area would make a huge difference.

Two of the nation's largest commercial real estate brokerage firms, Los Angeles-based CB Richard Ellis Services Inc. and Grubb & Ellis Co. of New York, reportedly are in merger negotiations as the industry struggles to deal with a slump in commercial property leasing and sales.
Talk of a potential merger emerged last week after Grubb & Ellis announced that a group, headed by board member C. Michael Kojaian, would inject $15.2million into the business in return for about a 20% stake in the publicly traded company.
In documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Grubb & Ellis said "a change in control of the company" could "reasonably" be expected as a result of the deal with Kojaian, a Detroit-area real estate developer.
The New York Post last week reported that a merger between CB Richard Ellis--which was acquired last summer by a group led by San Francisco-based Blum Capital Partners--was imminent.
Thursday, a Grubb & Ellis official confirmed the negotiations with several senior brokers in Los Angeles, according to a Grubb & Ellis employee.
Spokesmen for Grubb & Ellis and CB Richard Ellis declined to comment.
On the New York Stock Exchange, Grubb & Ellis shares rose 10 cents to close at $4.
The potential combination of the two companies is part of a continuing industry consolidation. Brokers have come under greater financial and competitive pressure in the last year as a slowdown in commercial real estate transactions has eaten into revenues and profits.
Last year, for example, Los Angeles-based Cushman Realty folded into New York-based Cushman & Wakefield Inc., and CB Richard Ellis cut its headquarters and administrative staff by 13%.
Grubb & Ellis has tried several times in recent years to merge with other companies in an effort to stay competitive with diversified industry giants such as CB Richard Ellis, Insignia/ESG and Cushman & Wakefield.
During the company's recent fiscal third quarter, the company reported a loss of $5.2 million before one-time charges.
"Combining with Grubb & Ellis is combining with a money-losing company," said securities analyst Sheldon Grodsky. Any buyer would have to be "willing to withstand losses for a while."

I think there was one of those in my great-grandparent’s farmhouse kitchen. Whenever Nana would turn it on, the lights would go a little funky. Heated food like nobody’s business tho!
Teflon, discovered by Roy J. Plunkett at the DuPont Company’s Jackson Laboratory in 1938,
Definitely before the space program as well.
But indeed, there is some useful research coming out of space technologies, mostly in boring stuff like materials and control systems though
Consumer, Home, and Recreation
As the result of a program designed to develop a padding concept to improve crash protection for airplane passengers, Ames Research Center developed a foam material with unusual properties. The material is widely used and commonly known as temper foam or “memory foam.” The material has been incorporated into a host of widely used and recognized products including mattresses, pillows, military and civilian aircraft, automobiles and motorcycles, sports safety equipment, amusement park rides and arenas, horseback saddles, archery targets, furniture, and human and animal prostheses. Its high-energy absorption and soft characteristics not only offer superior protection in the event of an accident or impact, but enhanced comfort and support for passengers on long flights or those seeking restful sleep. Today, temper foam is being employed by NASCAR to provide added safety in racecars. (Spinoff 1976, 1977, 1979, 1988, 1995, 2002, 2005)
Enriched Baby Food
Commercially available infant formulas now contain a nutritional enrichment ingredient that traces its existence to NASA-sponsored research that explored the potential of algae as a recycling agent for long-duration space travel. The substance, formulated into the products life’sDHA and life’sARA, can be found in over 90 percent of the infant formulas sold in the United States, and are added to the infant formulas sold in over 65 additional countries. The products were developed and are manufactured by Martek Biosciences Corporation, which has pioneered the commercial development of products based on microalgae; the company’s founders and principal scientists acquired their expertise in this area while working on the NASA program. (Spinoff 1996, 2008)
Portable Cordless Vacuums
Apollo and Gemini space mission technologies created by Black & Decker have helped change the way we clean around the house. For the Apollo space mission, NASA required a portable, self-contained drill capable of extracting core samples from below the lunar surface. Black & Decker was tasked with the job, and developed a computer program to optimize the design of the drill’s motor and insure minimal power consumption. That computer program led to the development of a cordless miniature vacuum cleaner called the Dustbuster. (Spinoff 1981)
Freeze Drying Technology
Freeze dried food container
In planning for the long-duration Apollo missions, NASA conducted extensive research into space food. One of the techniques developed was freeze drying—Action Products commercialized this technique, concentrating on snack food. The foods are cooked, quickly frozen, and then slowly heated in a vacuum chamber to remove the ice crystals formed by the freezing process. The final product retains 98 percent of its nutrition and weighs only 20 percent of its original weight. Today, one of the benefits of this advancement in food preparation includes simple nutritious meals available to handicapped and otherwise homebound senior adults unable to take advantage of existing meal programs sponsored by government and private organizations. (Spinoff 1976, 1994)
Don’t forget spaceships. We wouldn’t have spaceships if not for the space programs either.
Without the space program there would be no sickening melodramatic dribble like this whining about the space program and littering the internet.
You know, ogres first came to this planet embedded in a piece of space rock brought back by the Incas (well-documented as the first space traveling culture). Without space travel, you wouldn’t be here to whine about space travel! Irony!
Wow! Amazing. 42!!!
Apparently you already knew this because of that ‘42’ reference. Also known, but less common, the rock sample you came from was taken from Ogre-Omega-6338-42. It was just called The Ol’ 42 Stone.
If anyone is really interested, you should click the links above ^^^^ and read a bit. I think space travel/exploration/research can get a bad rap, at face value. I mean come on, we launched a shuttle, and it’s not like they came back to the planet with a MIcrowave oven, that’s not how it works.
As far as budgetary discussions (and that is a whole nuther can of worms), there is a metric crapload of things we could cut, that are not improving anyone’s lives, and no one would miss.
One thing that NO one would miss, would be missing a Near Earth Object (NEO). Let’s not cut funding to the really important stuff, even IF, it doesn’t make us toasters.
I think america should be the first to militarize the moon, we could call it a research facility, thats how the chinesse do it !
I could explain the issue with this, both legal and in term of military strategy.
It saddens me that people in this day and age still think that extending military presence is a solution and not a problem.
I could get very angry about that but I will get censored like last time, so I won’t.
My comment was kind of a joke but also serious, its only a matter of time before someone does it, check this out https://thediplomat.com/2018/03/how-should-the-us-engage-china-in-space/

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other anxiety-related mental health disorders make it difficult for some people to manage challenges during recovery from substance use disorder (SUD). Sometimes, life stressors become overwhelming and abruptly cause a mental health crisis. Knowing how to handle unexpected stressors reduces the risk of relapse. Studies have shown that “Effective techniques for stress management . . . typically include behaviors that improve physical health, such as nutrition and exercise, but may also incorporate strategies that improve cognitive and emotional functioning.” The clinical team at West Coast Recovery Centers uses therapy and other techniques to help clients develop essential life skills and crisis management strategies.
Coping With a Crisis During Long-Term Recovery
Life is full of stressful events that cannot be controlled or anticipated. Clients in recovery from SUD have a higher risk of experiencing distressing events in their personal or professional lives. In addition, SUD also reduces a person’s stress threshold, making it more difficult for them to cope with challenges during early recovery. Individuals with co-occurring mental health disorders may struggle to manage their condition if they feel overly stressed.
Mental health disorders and SUD affect the brain and how it reacts to strong emotions. According to Current Topics in Behavioral Neurosciences, “[T]he stress experience, whether acute or chronic, induces different effects that have been characterized in brain regions such as the hippocampus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex (PFC) that mediate fear-related memories, working memory, and self-regulatory behaviors.” Coping with stress is more difficult for individuals with a history of chronic stress or trauma. Relapse prevention education helps clients find healthy ways to manage their condition and anticipate issues clients may encounter during and after treatment.
What Is a Crisis Management Strategy?
Moments of crisis often happen when people least expect them, making it difficult to anticipate circumstances or establish helpful coping mechanisms in advance. However, crisis management strategies allow clients in recovery to plan ahead and prepare for a wide range of possible crises. Everyone encounters challenges sometimes. How a person responds to the stress affects their sobriety and mental health.
Individuals with co-occurring disorders like PTSD may have more severe reactions to life stressors and develop maladaptive or self-harming behaviors if they don’t have a healthy way to manage stress. A crisis management strategy reduces the risks by providing clients with a plan for coping with problematic moments in early recovery.
Crisis management strategies usually involve the following:
- A step-by-step guide for responding to unexpected, stressful, or distressing situations
- Education about how stress and other factors may impact physical and mental health
- A list of potential triggers and how to effectively manage them during a crisis
- Contact information for all members of a person’s support system and when to contact each one of them
Crisis management strategies usually address general potential issues rather than specific scenarios since clients rarely know what might trigger them.
How Does a Crisis Management Strategy Reduce the Risk of Relapse?
A crisis does not have to be something huge or life-altering to affect a person’s recovery and mental health. Sometimes, a crisis is a small moment that feels unmanageable to someone in recovery. For example, partners may have a small argument over something inconsequential, and the emotional reaction might cause someone with an anxiety-related co-occurring disorder to catastrophize and feel unable to cope. In those moments, having a plan in place and knowing how to react reduces the risk of relapse or self-harm.
How Does West Coast Recovery Centers Help People Prepare for Long-Term Sobriety?
Long-term sobriety requires sustainable and realistic goals. West Coast Recovery Centers helps people prepare for long-term recovery by ensuring they understand the challenges they may face and how to overcome them in the moment. The clinical team uses psychotherapy, peer support, alternative holistic therapies, and other methods to help clients feel confident in their ability to move forward in their recovery. Coping with co-occurring disorders is more manageable when people successfully manage their health and well-being.
Gaining Confidence During Treatment and Aftercare
Clients diagnosed with multiple co-occurring disorders often have low self-esteem and self-confidence. Creating a plan to manage symptoms and reduce stress makes it easier for clients to feel comfortable with their ability to manage their condition.
Clients often gain confidence during treatment and aftercare by doing the following:
- Confiding in their care team, peers, and family
- Playing an active role in their own recovery
- Collaborating closely with the care team to identify potential problems and find solutions
- Overcoming challenges in early recovery
West Coast Recovery Centers provides clients with the tools they need to feel more secure in managing SUD and meeting recovery goals. The personalized treatment plans address any co-occurring or underlying issues they encounter during rehabilitation.
Individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) and co-occurring mental health disorders often find coping with everyday stressors or significant life changes more challenging. People in recovery may feel overwhelmed by their symptoms or situations outside their control. Creating a crisis management strategy during treatment makes coping with challenging moments during ongoing recovery easier. The dedicated care team at West Coast Recovery Centers provides clients with the tools they need to create a comprehensive crisis management strategy that covers a wide range of potential scenarios.

The clinical team can help you successfully recover from mental health disorders and SUD.

Arsenal have three signings in the bag but there’s still lots of work to do in the remaining 32 days of the transfer window.
Here’s our latest gossip round-up.
According to Turkish sources, Fenerbahce, who have already been linked with Cedric Soares, are keeping tabs on Sead amid suggestions he’s angling for his Arsenal contract to be terminated prematurely. Perhaps Mesut needs a body guard? After signing Nuno Tavares as back-up to Kieran Tierney, it’s pretty obvious that the left-back doesn’t have a future at the Emirates but whether we’re ready to call it quits without looking for a transfer fee remains to be seen.
The Athletic claims Arsenal have been alerted to the availability of the Argentina international during Hector Bellerin-related talks with the Serie A champions. The Gunners are tempted by the chance to sign the 23-year-old striker at a doable price with Inter trying to raise funds this summer. Alex Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah would likely have to make way for any such deal to proceed. In response, Sport Mediaset have already suggested Martinez won’t be interested in a move to England if Champions League football isn’t on offer. At least we can tell him we’re not in the Europa Conference League…
Several sources, including Goal.com and Brazilian sites Lance and Globo Esporte, say Arsenal have made contact with the Lyon midfielder. Given Granit Xhaka appears to be staying at Arsenal, it’s questionable whether we’re still looking at the 23-year-old but he has been on our radar for a while; we reported on interest 18 months ago when he was at Athletico Paranaense.
Football.London reports we’re one of a number of Premier League clubs keeping tabs on Preston’s 17-year-old midfielder Lewis Leigh. Once on the books at Liverpool, he’s been part of the Lilywhites’ first team squad during pre-season and would be a candidate to strengthen our youth ranks.
Our 20-year-old midfielder is on the verge of joining Ross County on loan for the season after undergoing a medical last week. He appeared for the Arsenal first team against Hibs a couple of weeks ago and will move north of the border off the back of a year with Oldham. We’re expecting confirmation in the next couple of days.
US reporter Grant Wahl – a man who puts his jeans in the freezer – says Everton and Arsenal are eyeing a move for the 20-year-old USA striker after his impressive debut campaign in the Bundesliga. Hoppe scored six goals in 22 appearances for Schalke – including a hat-trick to help end a long winless run – but is likely to be sold as a result of his club’s relegation. He’s currently performing well for the USMNT at the Gold Cup with a goal and an assist in 4 appearances. Do we need another 20-year-old American striker? It seems a bit greedy.
On the subject of Americans abroad, ESPN report that Barcelona’s Sergino Dest has rejected approaches from a number of clubs, including Arsenal. It makes it very easy to go high on the poo-o-meter.

Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered his annual Christmas and New Year’s addresses to world leaders over the weekend. Among a laundry list of talking points in the series of greetings, Russia’s leader called for “pragmatic cooperation” between his nation and the United States, and similar diplomatic efforts with other NATO nations that have seen heightening tensions with the Russian state in recent years.
According to Putin, who is seeking re-election in Russian presidential elections in the coming year, “a constructive Russian-American dialogue is especially needed to strengthen strategic stability in the world.”
In his message of greetings to President of the United States of America Donald Trump, Mr Putin noted, among other things, his strong belief that in the current challenging international environment, it is especially important for Russia and the US to engage in constructive dialogue with a view to enhancing global strategic stability and finding the best solutions to the global challenges and threats. The President of Russia stressed the importance of the principles of equality and mutual respect as the foundation for developing bilateral relations,” the Kremlin said.
“This would allow us to make progress in promoting pragmatic cooperation designed for the long term,” the greeting reads.
Putin made similarly positive remarks to the British Monarch, Queen Elizabeth, and Prime Minister Theresa May. The Russian leader reportedly “pointed out that closer Russian-UK cooperation would be in the basic interests of the Russian and British people and Europe as a whole,” according to the Kremlin.
Despite the friendly seeming overtures in his holiday addresses, relations between the United States and Russia this year have been at their worst since the Cold War.
In Europe, NATO member states have continued their defensive buildup, particularly in and around the Baltics, stemming from Russia’s military annexation of Crimea in 2014. Repeated air intercepts between NATO jets and Russian military aircraft over the Baltic and Black Seas, as well as Russia’s massive Zapad military exercises held in the region with ally Belarus, continued to escalate concerns about Russian military aggression throughout the year.
In Syria, where the United States and Russia have found themselves on opposing sides of the nation’s civil war, but loosely united in the fight against ISIS, Russia has continued to levy unsubstantiated accusations at American forces, claiming the U.S. military has been supporting the terrorist group in the interest of destabilizing the nation. On multiple occasions this year, Russia has released “evidence” to support their claims, only to have that evidence proven fake or incorrect soon thereafter.
Putin seemed to address his support for Syrian president Bashar al Assad in the face of U.S. opposition directly in his holiday address to the embattled president, saying Russia would continue to assist Syria “in upholding its state sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity, and promoting a political settlement and economic recovery.”
North Korea, which has been one of the focal points of President Trump’s administration in 2017, has also been a tension point between the two states. Russia, which shares a short land border with North Korea, has seen an uptick in trade with the nation since the United States and United Nations began pushing for the economic isolation of Kim Jong Un’s regime following a slew of banned nuclear and ballistic missile tests.
Putin himself even stated in no uncertain terms that he’d like to see an end to all sanctions imposed on the reclusive state, perhaps in part due to the economic stagnation his country has faced as a result of sanctions imposed after the aforementioned Crimean annexation.

The disaster of recent democracy in informational newspaper writing
The disaster of recent democracy paper writer website in informational newspaper writing
Democracy is seen as a state the place that the persons or residents be involved in influence by electing the us government using voting. This is basically the take over about the person by their particular frontrunner and for them. Democracies be certain proactive share of your companion in national politics. Typically, they thrive as compared with locations possessing other types of fed government. Also, they are not as likely to travel to combat and attempt to beat corruption. The residents chat their minds out and profile what they want by themselves and generations to come (Dudley. 2009)
previous to democracy, nations around the world which is used to training other forms of governing administration like regimes, autocrats and also there was dictatorship as noticed in quite a few African states, and totalitarian areas. The whole world commends the pitfall with the plan and has that can help condition a democracy. Eliminating out an autocrat is much easier than starting a beneficial democratic state. The newest body which happens to be specified stumbles the economic climate thrashes, and also place discovers by itself into a even more serious express than earlier than. It is actually precisely what is transpiring for most regions. Also, this is why modern democracy is faltering.
Democracy is experiencing rough years. Wherein autocrats get away from the workplaces forcefully, their opponents have did not produce even better governance for the people. Even just in started democracies, goof ups inside of the product have become disturbingly exposed and disenchanted with national politics is wide-spread. A few years in the past, democracy appeared just like the more sensible choice around the world. As Winston Churchill after proclaimed, “Democracy often is the saddest form of authorities, apart from for all those other kinds which have been tried using every now and again.”
On the the middle of for this twentieth century, democracy was turn to. It was a solace to many country’s governance, and those integrate; the Soviet Union, Greece, and To the south Africa which was a servant to apartheid. Most states in america elected their market leaders with the expectation connected with a more suitable long run simply because control is in their wrists and hands. Agents greater than 100 nations around the world met up with in Warsaw in the Globe Discussion forum to debate democracy. They proclaimed that it was the will of your companion and also, since other government authorities arduous unsuccessful it was time for democracy to triumph (Shearman and Joseph. 2007)
Democracy advancement was noticed over the 20th century within the 21st and for some reason it has got reach a stop. In some regions, it is even taking a alter guidance. Numerous democracies are moving here we are at autocracy and dictatorship sustaining an outward image with the aid of elections. Relax and take a matter of some African different countries and the latest the first is Kenya. Residents look at the ballot boxes to vote, yet they may already know who the champion is. Strong people in the federal government participate in rigging of elections, and also, since they may have hard earned cash and ability, the normal woman has no say.
The overthrowing of unpopular regimes comes up with nice experiences of triumph and then take out all over again In Uganda, their president has determined for almost 30 years shortly after overthrowing a dictator. While democracy is said to be in reality, people fail to choose the commander they voted for, resulting from corruption. Justice is seen to advance then collapses later on. Throughout the west democracy is associated to problems located in boundaries and offshore and obligations. Basing to the more than disagreements, I wholeheartedly help and support Winston Churchill’s viewpoint on democracy. Democracy may possibly be the toughest kind of govt.

Norfolk & Norwich Festival 2020 has been cancelled
It is with regret that we have taken the very difficult but ultimately inevitable decision to cancel the 2020 Norfolk & Norwich Festival.
With the rapidly escalating health-crisis and with the safety of our audiences, staff and artists at heart, we have taken the decision that it is impossible for us to deliver the Festival this May.
If you have booked a ticket for the Festival, you do not need to do anything. You are entitled to a refund and we will be in touch soon. Please bear with us during this difficult time. If you have the capacity to make a donation of part or all of your ticket value, we would be extremely grateful – it would help ensure we’re well-placed to support artists and be able to present future Festivals.
‘Absolutely of the moment: a psychedelic, electronic, jazzy odyssey that deals with issues of racial identity. It’s fabulous.’ The Guardian
Born in the US, Sarathy Korwar grew up in Ahmedabad and Chennai in India. He began playing tabla aged 10, but was also drawn to the American music that he heard on the radio and leaking through the doorway of his local jazz music shop (Ahmad Jamal and John Coltrane were early discoveries). At 17, Korwar moved to Pune to study Environmental Science, but instead dedicated his time to music, practising tabla under the tutelage of Rajeev Devasthali, translating his skills to the western drum kit and playing as a session musician.
On completing these studies a decade ago, he moved to London where he trained as a classical tabla player under the guidance of Sanju Sahai at SOAS (The School of Oriental and African Studies), focusing on the adaptation of Indian classical rhythmic material to non-Indian percussion instruments.
Korwar has since established himself as one of the most original and compelling voices in the UK jazz scene, leading the UPAJ Collective – a loose band of South Asian jazz and Indian classical musicians brought together through a love of collaboration and improvisation who set up a residency at the Jazz Café in London. Korwar has collaborated with the likes of Shabaka Hutchings (The Comet Is Coming), clarinettist Arun Ghosh and producer Hieroglyphic Being, as well as groups Penya and Ill Considered. He has toured with Kamasi Washington, Yussef Kamaal and Moses Boyd.
Korwar’s daring debut album, Day To Day, recorded with the support of the Steve Reid Foundation, was released by Ninja Tune in 2016. The album fused traditional folk music recorded with the Sidi community in India (combining East African, Sufi and Indian influences) with contemporary jazz and electronics.
In November 2018, Gearbox Records released a triple vinyl live album by Sarathy Korwar and UPAJ Collective. My East Is Your West, performed and recorded at a sold out Church of Sound show, is a brilliant and unique blend of London’s new jazz talent with Indian classical instrumentation. A critically-acclaimed take on the cultural appropriation of ‘spiritual’ Indo-jazz, the three hour show was recorded following a single 45-minute rehearsal. The resulting album was awarded The Guardian’s Contemporary Album of the Month.
Korwar released his second studio album, More Arriving, through The Leaf Label in July 2019. With this latest release, Korwar blasts out his own vibrant, pluralistic narrative for the world to hear. This is not necessarily a record of unity; it is an honest reflection of Korwar’s experience of being an Indian in Britain, and as such is a leap forward from his previous releases, incorporating rappers from Mumbai and New Delhi, spoken word and his own Indian classical and jazz performances. More Arriving is a record born of confrontation; one for our confrontational times.
More Arriving was voted MOJO Magazines Jazz Album of the year.

DESCRIPTION - COMPLETE SERIES
Morgan is a dreamer, change maker and art lover. She is a feisty, slightly preachy, romantic feminist full of contradictions and insecurities. Morgan uncovers a world where women have the power, and where magic is no longer just a figment of her wild imagination. Sounds like a dream, but it may, in fact, turn into a nightmare.
The world of the Ahe'ey challenges and subverts her views about gender, genes, and nature versus nurture.
The strong and uninvited chemistry between her and the dashing Gabriel makes matters even more complicated. His stunning looks keep short-circuiting her rational mind.
EDITORIAL REVIEWS - COMPLETE SERIES
"In this romantic tale, a champion of women's empowerment stumbles on a hidden--and seemingly perfect--society. A bracing mix of emotionally and intellectually honest fantasy." - Kirkus Reviews
"A compelling and creative work of paranormal romance. Le Fey takes her characters to places seldomly seen in fantasy fiction that readers will find empowering and prescient. Ahe'ey is a fairly polarizing book. As an example of feminist fantasy fiction, you won't find much better than this. Ahe'ey is an impressively thought-out story, with many original touches and a fairy-like romance that will deeply satisfy readers of the genre." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★
"This book is a thoughtful look at empowerment for women. At the same time, it's a rollicking trip into a fantasy world complete with dragons, love and strength, and ideas that really get you thinking. This book is highly recommended for all ages." - HUGEOrange
"They're flawed, real, and honest characters that can be easily related to. Ahe'ey is the kind of novel society needs to read, to create inspiration and to make people think. Ahe'ey is daring, complex, and honest. A must-read novel that tackles heavy and real topics with a mix of serious and humorous, charm and tragedy." - Reader's Favorite - ★★★★★
"Ahe'ey contains a richly imagined world that raises complicated and timely questions about our own. Jamie Le Fay's Ahe'ey is an action-packed love story that puts forth a nuanced vision of gender stereotypes, body politics, and the dark side of seeking perfection." - Foreword Clarion - ★★★★
OTHER PRAISE - COMPLETE SERIES
"Jamie is a fine writer with a rich imagination and is able to convey her strong feelings about women's rights, feminism, gender equality and other important matters of injustice, primarily because she keeps us involved with the characters of her strong story." - Grady Harp, Amazon Hall of Fame Top 100 Reviewer, Vine Voice - ★★★★★
"As a liberal and committed feminist who is increasingly frustrated by the simplistic self-righteousness of my own side, and the belief that all that is needed is for a few smart people to start a revolution, I found "Ahe'ey" to be refreshingly multi-sided, while also maintaining its core beliefs." - E.P. Clark, Author - ★★★★

Most Helpful Customer Reviews
I am loving this series: fantasy, romance AND feminism!! Finally all the genres I like in one single book. This first episode introduces the characters, and sets up the series. I love the chemistry between the feisty feminist and the privileged handsome stranger. I am currently reading episode 3 and cannot wait for the release of 4 at the end of this month.
A shift from the norm, different. Le Fay perfectly executed an extraordinary work of literary art in Ahe'ey. It's a dream to action-adventure fans, a nightmare to boring novel addicts. It's just the closest to an epic fast-paced action movie. I practically watched this episode as its narration was too vivid to the senses. I was especially drawn to the story and narration, I was hooked and can't wait to get started on the next episode. I wouldn't have forgiven the author if this wasn't a series. It's a brilliant wonder of literary art.
I really enjoyed the read, the author's writing style is of absolute top quality, and it's fast-paced. The characters are well developed making the read an awesome passionate and romantic with a great creative plot. I would definitely recommend this story to my friends.
This first episode left me longing for more. The main characters Morgan, Gabriel and Sky come to life on the page. At this stage we are left puzzled whether the intentions of the handsome Gabriel are good or bad. The dynamic between Morgan and Gabriel is super interesting. I can’t wait to see how things develop. I am so glad that the first 3 books are free.
If someone had told me that a book was able to address gender politics and still be quite romantic and intriguing I would have not believe it, but 3 episodes later... I'm hooked. I hope Morgan and Gabriel make it, the characters are complex and the plot very good.
In this first episode of Ahe'ey we meet the characters and understand their motivations and weaknesses. The romance between the strong minded girl empowerment champion and the handsome stranger is very appealing, it reminds me a bit of Mrs Bennett and Mr. Darcy. I've read episodes 1, 2 and 3 for free and look forward to the next instalment. I'm enjoying this series. It's great to see all the key characters come together in this book. The women are powerful, but I'm particularly enjoying the refreshing and unique take on male characters. Really great.
41 pages and that's including the cover page and normal book intro stuff. More like a short story that continues in 3 other "books".

Harry Wants 'Military Security For One Direction Tour'
Styles has been left 'freaked out' after he was hit with a shoe...
A source told the tabloid: "Harry is not joking, he's taking the situation very seriously. He's mentioned high-security cars like the ones used by military top brass, plus a convoy.
"He also feels there are Taylor Swift followers out there who may hold a grudge against him following their break-up."
They added: "He may have looked casual and jokey lying on the floor but behind the scenes he was freaked out."
The news comes after Hazza's 1D bandmate Louis Tomlinson reportedly installed a panic room in his Hertfordshire home after girlfriend Eleanor Calder received death threats from jealous fans.
In other related news, the lads are also thought to have hired a luxury private jet, worth £3million, for their tour.
According to The Mirror, the aircraft has been branded Air Force One Direction, with The X Factor group using it for the first time for tonight's gig in Dublin (March 5).
However, their support act, 5 Seconds of Summer, were left to get the ferry over to Ireland, with the band tweeting yesterday: “Going to Ireland on a boat. We’re on the ferry to Dublin! PUMPED!”

Pokémon Fusion, also simply known as Pokéfusion, refers to the fan art practice of splicing the sprites of two or more creatures from the Nintendo video game franchise Pokémon to create a new hybrid character either through hand-drawing or web-based generators.
The concept of creating a hybrid character has been illustrated through Pokemon fan art since as early as November 2008 with a contest hosted by the Kongregate message board to see who could create the best fused sprite out of Pokemon creatures in canon. The winning submission (shown below) incorporated various features from Infernape, Giratina, Metang, Articuno and Alakazam.
In February 2009, a thread for Pokemon Fusion fan art appeared on the Nintendo fan community Nintendopeeps. In December of that year, a Pokefusion flash animation was shared on the MIT Scratch community, which depicted a Darkrai, a Cubone and a Charizard fusing into a new creation. In January 2010, a fan artist who goes by the handle Kurcio showcased a number of hand-drawn hybrid sprites on Soul Boards. By May 2010, a number of Kurcio's works had been uploaded to deviantART. In July, the deviantART group #PokemonSplicers launched, becoming the first Pokefusion-specific fan group, and in August, a second group labeled #FUSE-Corp was created. As of May 2013, the two groups have nearly 650 members between them and there are more than 18,000 search results for “Pokemon Fusion” on deviantART. In addition, similar fan art threads dedicated to Pokefusion also have surfaced on 4chan, Pokememes and Tumblr. A subreddit was created for the trope in May 2011.
Pokemon Fusion Generator
On August 8th, 2010, web developer Alex Onsager launched the Pokemon Fusion Generator, which fuses the body and shape of the first selected Pokemon with the color and face of the second. It also blends the names, yielding a new character. It was first advertised on the Psypoke forums by a friend of Onsager's. Throughout September, the generator and its creations were discussed on the message boards of Blockland, IGN, Newgrounds, GameFAQs and the Escapist. As of May 2013, 121 Pokemon have been added to the generator, but Onsager intends to add all of the original 151 Pokemon.
Pokemon Fusion Generation Game
On October 5th, 2012, YouTuber VvElectrovertvV uploaded a trailer (shown below) for a fan made game based on fusion creatures. The game was released in November 2012, after which updates were made available to fans via the game's official Tumblr. By January 6th, 2013, the game had reached 1,000 downloads. As of May 2013, the game is consistently being updated.
On June 6th, 2019, Tumblr user ijustreallylikeeevee made a post stating "Whatever pokemon appears when you load Pokéfusion is now your government assigned starter." The user got "Venuew," a mix of Venusaur and Mew, and the post gaining over 37,000 notes.
On June 23rd, the post was screenshot and posted to Twitter, and users there began posting their "government-assigned starters." Examples include a post by user @kirstonnn which got a mix of Eevee and Mew ("Eew"), gaining over 210 retweets and 1,300 likes (shown below, left), and a post by @Ryans_Buffet which combined a Dragonair and Nintetales ("Dragontales") that gained over 170 retweets and 1,200 likes (shown below, right).
The popularity of posts such as these inspired others to begin posting Pokéfusion edits without the prompt. Many of these used sexual innuendo; for example, user @heartlesspumpkin posted a combination of Squirtle and Nidoqueen to get "Squirtqueen," gaining over 820 retweets and 3,400 likes (shown below, left) and user @leyawn posted a combination of Blastoise and Charmelon called "Blastmeleon" with the caption "girls keep saying this to me" ("Blast-Me-Leon"), gaining over 830 retweets and 11,000 likes (shown below, right). The resurgence was covered by the Daily Dot.

A Pakistani man, Muhammad Ishaq, who lives in New York State, USA, has been sentenced to death for blasphemy in Pakistan.
A district court in Punjab province upheld Muhammad Ishaq’s death sentence, which had been handed down to him in July 2009 by a court in his home town, Talagang, for insulting the Prophet Muhammad (section 295-C of the Pakistan Penal Code). He was also given a 10-year prison sentence and fined 200,000 Rupees. His lawyer is seeking to appeal the decision to the Lahore High Court.
Muhammad Ishaq has lived in the USA for around 30 years, but is a patron of Talagang’s Sufi Pir Faisal Shah shrine. He had been visiting the town when he was accused by a man known only as Asadullah of claiming to be a messenger of God and getting local people to worship him. He was immediately arrested by local police.
A senior-superintendent of police in Talagang who investigated the matter refused to pursue the charges, saying he needed to maintain communal harmony in the town. The decision was challenged in the Chakwal District Court, but out of fear the verdict would provoke violence in the area, the case was moved to a court in neighbouring Jhelum District which eventually found Muhammad Ishaq guilty of blasphemy. He was refused bail by successive courts, including the Supreme Court, and he has been in prison since the accusations were brought over three years ago.
Muhammad Ishaq denies the charges of blasphemy, saying he never asked his followers to worship him, nor did he claim to be a messenger of God. A video has emerged showing local people touching his feet, a practice common in many parts of Pakistan and Sufi practitioners to signify respect. Muhammad Ishaq believes that members of a rival faction brought the charges in an attempt to take control of the Pir Faisal Shah shrine.
Please write immediately in English, Urdu or your own language:
- Calling on President Zardari to ensure immediately that Muhammad Ishaq is not executed;
- Calling on the authorities to release Muhammad Ishaq immediately, or else charge him with a recognizably criminal offence and try him in accordance with international human rights standards;
- Urging Pakistani authorities to fulfil the pledge to review and improve “laws detrimental to religious harmony”, announced by Prime Minister Gilani in August 2009, and reform or abolish the blasphemy laws;
- Calling for an immediate moratorium on all executions in the country, with a view to eventual abolition of the death penalty.
PLEASE SEND APPEALS BEFORE 22 MARCH 2012 TO:
Asif Ali Zardari
Pakistan Secretariat, Islamabad, Pakistan
Fax: +92 51 920 4974

MAN SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR BLASPHEMY
Pakistan’s current blasphemy laws were first introduced during British rule in the 19th century and were amended in 1982 and 1986 by the military regime of General Zia ul Haq to make the defiling the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad criminal offenses, punishable with life in prison and death respectively. The laws are vaguely formulated and arbitrarily enforced by the police and judiciary. Religious minorities have been disproportionately accused of blasphemy, but the majority of victims are mainstream Muslims, reflecting the danger these laws pose to all members of Pakistani society and the rule of law.
Charges brought against individuals under the blasphemy laws are often founded on the individuals’ minority religious beliefs or unfounded accusations stemming from personal enmity, frequently aiming to imprison people to gain advantage in business or land disputes. Police frequently fail to record and investigate complaints and justice is impeded by judicial bias against religious minorities. Many of those accused or suspected of blasphemy have been assaulted or tortured. Some people detained on blasphemy charges in prisons have been killed by fellow detainees or prison wardens. Others suspected of blasphemy, but not under arrest, have been unlawfully killed without police taking any action to protect them. In 2010 Pakistan’s Council of Islamic Ideology, a constitutional body mandated to advise the state on Islamic issues, called for the blasphemy laws to be reformed, citing these concerns. Although the government in 2009 pledged to review “laws detrimental to religious harmony” like the blasphemy laws, it fell silent after the Governor of Punjab, Salmaan Taseer, and Minorities Minister, Shahbaz Bhatti, were assassinated, in January and March 2011 respectively, in part because of their criticism of the blasphemy laws.
Section 295-C of the Pakistan Penal Code makes it an offence punishable by death or life imprisonment to ‘defile’ the Prophet Mohammed. The Federal Shariat Court, whose tasks include reviewing laws to ensure they conform to Islamic doctrine, ruled in 1990 that anyone convicted of blasphemy should face the death penalty, not life imprisonment. The Government appealed, but dropped the appeal in 1991. People found guilty under section 295-C have been sentenced to death ever since but no one has yet been executed.
Articles 18 and 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights set out that everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience, religion, opinion and expression. International human rights law provides that any limitations placed on these freedoms should be only such as are prescribed by law as well as being necessary and proportionate for, among other things, the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.

MADURAI: Documentary filmmaker Divya Bharathi on Monday alleged that Puthiya Tamizhagam (PT) party leader Dr K Krishnasamy had instigated his partymen to send her death threats.
Addressing the media here, Divya, who is also the Madurai District Convenor of the All India Students Association (AISA), stated that (WhatsApp) messages were being spread by members of the PT. “The message that has listed my mobile number speaks of a bounty of Rs 2 crore on my head,” she claimed.
“The callers who claim affiliation to the PT and the BJP continue to send death threats and make derogatory remarks. They have threatened to file a suit against me seeking a ban on my documentary,” said Divya, adding that she has been receiving thousands of anonymous calls for the past four days.
The activist had directed the documentary film Kakkoos highlighting the practice of manual scavenging in the State. Clearing air on the documentary, first screened in February, Divya said it was not aimed at portraying a certain community in bad light.
“The documentary was intended to highlight the prevalence of manual scavenging and to uplift the downtrodden. Unfortunately, it has been politicised,” said Divya, who has lodged a complaint with the police commissioner. She said she might seek police protection if the issue persisted.
The 25-year-old filmmaker was arrested last week and later let off on conditional bail in connection with an eight-year-old case, in which she and four others were booked for participating in a stir following the death of a college student who was bitten by a snake.
Meanwhile, PT State Youth Wing Secretary Bhaskar Madhuram lodged a complaint with Madurai Police on Monday seeking legal action against Divya for wrongly portraying the caste (to which the complainant belongs) in her documentary film Kakkoos.


Continued strong demand for real estate and a resilient economy overcoming interest rate hikes led to a 9% increase in assessed valuation in Riverside County going into 2023, according to the Riverside County Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder (ACR). This marks the second year in a row of strong growth in assessed value as values also rose 9% the year prior.
Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder Peter Aldana has announced that the total taxable value of all Riverside County property for the current year grew to over $400 billion for the first time ever, totaling $404 billion, a $35 billion increase. This year’s tax roll – a list of all taxable property, its owner, and its value as of January 1 – will generate roughly $4 billion for local government services.
“Surpassing the $400 billion mark is a historic achievement for Riverside County,” Aldana said. “It signifies the remarkable growth of our county and reflects the confidence individuals, businesses, and investors have in our region. Plus, once again, I have to give credit to the coordinated team effort that completed a growing assessment roll on time during another busy year.”
The median home price in Riverside County grew to $615,000 in 2022, a 9.1% increase from 2021, according to the California Association of Realtors.
Property owners may review their 2023 assessment roll value by visiting the Riverside County Assessor public access online services website at Assessor Online Services or calling (951) 955-6200. Although the Assessor works to enroll fair-market values, an owner might disagree with the valuation. Those owners may file a free decline-in-value application online. Applications are due by Nov. 1 and are available at Decline in Value Application.
Property owners also may request a formal hearing before the Assessment Appeals Board. The deadline to file is Nov. 30. The application is available on the Clerk of the Board’s website at Assessment Appeals Online.

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Randall Mackey is at the top of Mississippi's running back depth chart.
First-year coach Hugh Freeze doesn't mind admitting that gives him a little extra joy, saying the 5-foot-11, 195-pound senior is "1 of my favorite kids on the team."
Mackey ascension is 1 of the feel-good stories during preseason camp as the Rebels prepare to face Central Arkansas on Saturday at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
He's made an impressive transformation from quarterback to running back during the offseason, and finally appears ready to make headlines for something other than mediocre performances and suspensions.
Freeze says he expects four running backs to get carries on Saturday, including Mackey, junior Jeff Scott and freshmen I'Tavius Mathers and Jaylen Walton.

Italian painter (originally Buonamico di Cristofani), a tantalizingly enigmatic figure. Various early sources attest to his celebrity as an artist - evidently one of the leading painters of the post-Giotto generation - and a burlesque character. Their cumulative testimony is impressive, but as no works can be securely attributed to him, many critics have regarded him as a legendary rather than a historical figure. Recently, however, there have been attempts to give Buffalmacco a stature commensurate with his literary reputation by attributing to him the famous frescoes of The Triumph of Death
in the Campo Santo, Pisa, which until the essay by Luciano Bellosi in 1974 was considered the work of Francesco Traini.
Buffalmacco is recorded as Bonamichus magistri Martini among the painters in the Florentine Matricola dei Medici e Speziali of 1320, but he was first recorded there c. 1315. He was in Pisa in 1336 and worked on the Campo Santo. According to a document of 1341, some time previously he had painted a fresco in Arezzo Cathedral. The record of Buonamico Cristofani detto Buffalmacco in the Compagnia dei Pittori of Florence in 1351 is a forgery.

And we have another exception to my "no books about zombies" rule (the other is World War Z): this book was excellent. And like WWZ, it isn't really about zombies; it is about ethics. And the character development was fabulous. And it was suspenseful and unpredictable. Recommended.

If you notice a growth on your skin, don't assume it's a skin tag right away. Check with a doctor first, as it can signify a more severe condition. If the growth is confirmed to be a skin tag and you want to remove it manually, sterilize your tools and check for any allergic reactions first, particularly if applying essential oils. If home remedies don't work, you may visit a dermatologist as a last resort.
I had a fairly large mole on the side of my head next to and above the ear, along where glasses frame would set. I had my Dr. look at it and he said it wasn't the type of mole to worry about and if it caused an issue and I wanted it off he would cut or burn it off. In the last few months it began to grow and had reached the size of a penny and about 1/4" thick, so I thought it was time to have it removed. I was very skeptical about D-Mole however I don't trust Dr. much either so I thought I'd give it a try. Well in about 10 days or so it begin to come off in small pieces like a scab, within days it was completely gone without leaving any kind of sore, or with absolutely no pain. So in a nut shell, this stuff really works. If there is any drawback to it, the odor from the oil is strong, but my wife said it was not offensive to her. What the hay if you need a mole removed and it's not one that may be cancer, give this stuff a try, it works. * - Charlie
What are some clear signs you should ask your dermatologist whether or not a mole needs a biopsy? If your mole is asymmetrical, has an irregular border, contains different colors, has a diameter larger than a pencil eraser, or is evolving in some way, you should mention it to your doctor. These are known as the ABCDEs of melanoma, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, because they signify when a mole may be cancerous.
One final cost is pathology to determine if the mole is cancerous or precancerous. This isn't usually necessary if the mole has been there a very long time. If the mole is new, has changed recently, or has other suspicious features like bleeding, your health insurance should cover the cost of removal and pathology. If you don't have insurance or if you prefer to have a mole sent even when it's being removed for purely cosmetic reasons, then pathology will cost an additional $125-200.
Apply aloe vera. Aloe vera is often used as a remedy for skin conditions, such as cold sores, psoriasis, burns, and frostbite. You can try applying aloe vera to your mole daily to see if this helps to get rid of it. Apply aloe vera to your mole, cover it with a clean cotton bandage, and let it sit for three hours. Repeat this daily for about three weeks to get rid of the mole.
The location and size of a mole may cause cosmetic concerns, as well as physical irritation. For instance, if a mole exists on a certain part of the neck, it may become caught in a necklace, causing discomfort and sometimes bleeding. We think these are good reasons to seek cosmetic mole removal, and we are happy to help you feel more comfortable and more satisfied with your appearance. More than just removing moles for cosmetic reasons, our team ensures that we evaluate all moles before removal to rule out abnormalities that may indicate skin cancer.
"Skin tags are these fleshy little bumps that are just annoying as can be. Skin tags can rub against clothing or get caught on jewelry and then they can get really irritated and inflamed. Some people’s skin tags even bleed. Skin tags often form in areas of friction. They'll appear around the neck, under the arms, on our thighs, even around the eyelids," says Geraghty. If you want to get rid of skin tags, read on for advice from Geraghty about how to remove skin tags at the dermatologist's office.
Be aware that home remedies are not supported by medical evidence. Most home remedies are based on anecdotal evidence, meaning that some people have tried these remedies and reported that they had success. However, treating a mole at home can be unsafe and high risk. The mole may be cancerous and this requires medical treatment. Make sure to talk with your doctor about your moles before trying any home remedies.
Don’t all of us want a smooth skin with no marks or abnormalities? If your skin is smooth to the look and the touch, you will feel very content and confident, as people with skin conditions tend to feel unconfident about them. Unfortunately, some people have to suffer some of the skin conditions, and one of them is skin tags. Do you know what they are? Do you know if you have them? Are skin tags dangerous and how to get rid of skin tags?
There is no evidence that removing a skin tag will cause more tags to grow. There is no expectation of causing skin tags to "seed" or spread by removing them. In reality, some people are simply more prone to developing skin tags and may have new growths periodically. Some individuals request periodic removal of tags at annual or even quarterly intervals.
Common skin diseases and conditions There are dozens of conditions that affect someone's skin, and it can be hard to tell one from the other. This article tells you about about permanent skin diseases, temporary skin diseases, internal skin diseases, and skin diseases for different age groups, including children.

The United States Senate nearly had a unanimous vote Wednesday to allow Finland and Sweden into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The Senate voted, 95-1, to allow the two Scandinavian countries into NATO. The lone dissenter was Missouri Republican Josh Hawley. It was greatly more than the two-thirds majority needed, but Hawley’s vote drew ire.
“Expanding NATO does not make America safer. That’s the bottom line,” Hawley said Wednesday night. “Our priorities now should be to defend against China abroad and our own border at home.”
Hawley is now getting ripped by both Democrats and Republicans for casting his lone “Nay” to more than 90 “Ayes.”
Arkansas Republican Senator Tom Cotton seemed befuddled that the senator in his neighboring state to the north would vote against Finland and Sweden admissions, particularly in light of the fact Russia is against the admittance of those two countries.
“It would be strange indeed for any senator who voted to allow Montenegro or North Macedonia into NATO to turn around and deny membership to Finland and Sweden,” Cotton said. “I would love to hear the defense of such a curious vote.”
Finland and Sweden have been more of a neutrality between Russia’s influence in Eastern Europe and the rest of NATO nations. Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said NATO’s move was a way for the west to bolster power in a worldwide chess game.
“The neutral Sweden and Finland suddenly expressed a desire to urgently join NATO, and the bloc, contrary to its rules, is ready to admit them into the alliance in an expedited manner—mind you, without even asking for the opinions of the peoples of these countries,” Lukashenko said in July. “At the recent summit, NATO announced intentions to critically strengthen its presence and influence in Europe.”
Hawley’s lone vote against Finland and Sweden had some people comparing his fist raising at a January 6 Committee hearing to him raising a fist to Russian President Vladimir Putin, like this tweet from someone against Hawley.
“The traitors to Democracy and America are easy to spot. Raising your fist for Putin this time, @HawleyMO,” Mikko Alanne wrote.
However, Hawley said Wednesday afternoon that his dissenting vote was more against China than expanding NATO.
“Today’s vote to expand NATO presents a simple choice: either we do more in Europe – more troops, more resources, more spending – or we focus on our #1 adversary, China. We can’t prioritize both,” Hawley tweeted.
Newsweek reached out to Hawley’s office for further comment.

Children from a local theatre school had the time of their lives after a gala performance at Her Majesty’s Theatre, home to The Phantom of the Opera on Sunday.
For one night only, the West End stars made way for part-time theatre school Razzamataz Sheffield to take part in a special gala performance which showcased the talented youngsters and brought the house down with their take on the classic musical Chicago.
The cast of 26 girls and 6 boys brought to life the incredible songs and storytelling that had the audience cheering along with the young performers. In Razzamataz Sheffield’s take on the musical, Roxie Hart is a wannabe star who finds herself on the women’s block of Cook Country Jail which is inhabited by Velma Kelly and other murderesses. We hear from them all about why they ‘didn’t do it’ and follow Roxie’s journey as she instructs the best lawyer in town, Billy Flynn. Billy convinces the jury that Roxie acted in self-defense and when Roxie and Velma are released without charges, they form a deadly double act!
“We are so proud of each and every one of our performers at Her Majesty’s Theatre,” says Helen Bell, Principal of Razzamataz Sheffield. “The energy on the stage was incredible and the audience could not help but get swept along with the joy of the children on stage.”
The young cast have been rehearsing for months and had to combine singing, dancing and drama to tell the full story. The rehearsal process has given the cast a chance to capture the emotions of the piece and shown a real sense of maturity and understanding. The challenge for the performers was to dance at an incredibly high standard, they mixed authentic street dance in with the musical’s well known numbers so to flip form one style to another was difficult.
“The youngest performer in the cast was just ten and a half but they all blew us away with how they took on their individual roles and really got into their characters,” adds Helen. “We have had wonderful feedback on how much the children seemed to be enjoying themselves on stage, which is what it is all about and many of them have told us that this really was a magical experience for them. Making dreams come true is a real privilege for us at Razzamataz.”
The Principal, teachers and staff are very proud of students at Razzamataz Sheffield The school’s ethos is to have fun, meet new friends, build confidence and learn skills in the performing arts and this show is just one of the ways students have of showcasing all they learn every week at the theatre school.
As well as performing on a West End stage, students at the school also performed at the Sheffield Christmas Light Switch On, at Age UK, the Superkids awards and are looking forward to performing in Disneyland this time next year.
Razzamataz creates ‘triple threat performers’ meaning students leave being skilled in dance, drama and singing. During their time at Razzamataz, they will cover lots of different genres from classic West End musical theatre through to acting for camera, street dance and pop singing. There are lots of opportunities to perform locally and on London’s West End stage and many students are securing professional work, filming adverts and performing professionally on stage.
The fun classes are for all children whatever their background or ability and there is a strong focus on keeping fit and active, having fun and making friends. Classes start at age four and go on to 18 and there are lots of opportunities to perform giving children the opportunity to grow in confidence.
For more information about a free session or on joining Razzamataz Sheffield contact Helen on email@example.com or 07979 189177. Alternatively visit sheffield.razzamataz.co.uk.

Angel Bunny wakes up one morning to find Fluttershy is missing and her other pets are running amok. After (somewhat unwillingly) being appointed to go find her, he leaves the house and sees Ponyville is deserted, with only the pets running around. He finally gets Wynona to sniff out Fluttershy, and to his surprise he finds she along with the rest of the town has been hypnotized by a kelpie named Cassie into tearing down the city dam. When he tries to intervene, Cassie uses her voice to get the town to turn on them, but they’re rescued by Owluiscious and Tank. Gathering up Gummy and Opalescence as well, Angel rallies the pets in Zecora’s abandoned hut and raids her potions to enact a plan. Wynona distracts some of the townspeople by using a slippery potion on her feet to slide around effortlessly and dodge their attempts to grab her, while Tank “airdrops” Opal into a crowd where she takes a gigantism potion to turn herself into a kaiju-sized cat that easily bats away anyone trying to stop her. Finally, Owluiscious airdrops Angel onto Cassie to give her a potion to turn her voice hoarse and therefore useless, but the hypnotized Twilight Sparkle stops him. However, Angel had Gummy as a backup plan to bite the kelpie’s tail, making her scream and thereby waking Twilight up. He gives her the potion and her off-key singing soon wakes everyone else up. She immediately insists that she had a good reason: she needed to get the water sprites with her back to the ocean but couldn’t because the Ponyville Dam was in the way and they can’t leave the water. Twilight forgives her on the grounds of “doing something silly to help a friend” and the Ponyville residents move the water sprites around the dam. Angel is upset that no one remembers anything while hypnotized, so no one knows he and the pets saved the day, but the other pets show they like him…except Opal, who, still gigantic, is flexing her claws on the nearby mountains.
It may only be one issue, but to me that only means more “concentrated fun”.
Again, this story arc, if you can even call it that, is a bit of a departure but it’s very enjoyable. It’s something that may be different but you can see the show plausibly doing: a nearly “silent” episode focusing almost exclusively on the pets of the Mane Six. And just like with the Mane Six, all of the pets are in character and have a rather amusing little story that nevertheless involves a bit of drama and storyline to go with it. I thought it was funny, cute, canonical, and just plain fun. It was actually a bit enjoyable to see Angel Bunny taking charge like a military commander. While Owluiscious is the one who’s normally seen as the smartest of the group, I can definitely see him doing all of this on the show.
As an additional bit of fun: Cassie. I’m sure she was a one-time character, but I read this after “Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks” came out. And while she’s referred to as a kelpie, it’s a little hard to not think of her as a siren like the Dazzlings. And as a result, I think this story is a bit intriguing. It shows you what a siren looks like in her “native surroundings” rather than a high school. That makes this more appealing to me.
So yeah, I like it. I even recommend it a little for a quick bit of fun. Probably my favorite arc after the “Nightmare Rarity” arc.
The first arc that’s a stand-alone story.
This arc likely takes place during Season Four, but see further below.
On one of the art pages for this arc, when all of the pets are sadly thinking about what happened to their owners, Opalescence’s thought bubble is pink colored, Owluiscious’ thought bubble is on parchment, and Gummy’s thought bubble is in crayon.
Angel wonders not only why is Fluttershy gone, but why she hasn’t made his coffee. 😛
There’s a poster for Cassie Kelpie and the Water Spirits advertising in one panel. It seems they were actually performing officially in Equestria before this whole mess happened.
Trixie is one of the enslaved ponies.
A kelpie is a Scottish mythological creature and is also known as a water-horse. Legend states that the Loch Ness Monster is one. While there are occasional stories of these creatures being benign, in most mythology they are demonic creatures who, as in many other folklore tales, appear as horses or beautiful men and lure people to their doom by drowning, and were used, most likely, as a cautionary tale to keep children from getting too near water or young women from running off with handsome men. However, the kelpie in this story is not only much more clearly a siren-like beast, having the ability to control vast multitudes through her singing, but is likely close to being the same kind of creature the Dazzlings from “Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks” are in their true forms. This one, however, ends up being far more benevolent.
Opalescence, like a stereotypical cartoon evil cat who doesn’t care if everyone else lives or dies, is amused at the thought of Ponyville being destroyed…until Angel points out it means she gets a bath.
Apparently, the other pets think Gummy is as crazy as Pinkie Pie.
There is no dialog in this story (other than Owluiscious hooting) until the ponies wake up from their trance.

At your own risk!
Businesses that meet building regulations will get insurance coverage; those that don’t, will not.
And because of the complex network of roads in Bridgetown and substantial losses suffered in the Julie N’ Supermarket, Bridge Street fire in the1990s, no one insurance firm has made major investment across the board in The City.
Yesterday, chairman of the public relations committee of the General Insurance Association of Barbados (GIAB), Anton Lovell, said there was limited insurance coverage in some instances because of the conditions of businesses and their proximity to one another in Bridgetown.
“Insurance companies incurred substantial losses with the Julie ’N fire that spread to other businesses. A concern for companies is that anytime a major fire occurs in Bridgetown, there will be major losses. That is why they limit their exposure.
“From an insurance perspective, whereas the 14 companies in the market will share all the business in Bridgetown, you won’t find one or two companies insuring everything . . . spreading the risk. Our concern is the condition of the properties and the close proximity,” he said.
Lovell said that GIAB was of the view that most businesses all across Barbados needed to pay more attention to security and have adequate risk management protection measures readily in place to save life, limb and property.
GIAB has added its voice to the chorus of responses to last Friday’s tragedy in which six young women lost their lives as the result of the fire bombing of Campus Trendz clothing store on Tudor Street.
“The members of the GIAB have expressed their deepest condolences to all the families, relatives and friends of the young ladies and do hope that those responsible will soon be found and brought to justice.
“The GIAB further supports the many calls for the speedy introduction of a mandatory National Building Code.”
Lovell said that after inspecting properties, insurance companies imposed warranties on the policies which placed the onus on the businesses to have in place preventive devices (such as fire extinguishers, smoke protectors, burglar bars and burglar alarms).
