From well-decorated lobbies exuding elegance to friendly staff and a wide array of games to choose from, ranging from slots to table games, there’s a lot to love about brick-and-mortar casinos. But behind all that luxury is a strict code of conduct, also known as casino etiquette, that should be observed by the staff and everyone within the establishment.
This fabric ensures everyone on the casino floor enjoys their sessions with minimal to no disturbances. If you have never visited traditional casinos and would like to try out one, there are certain house rules you need to observe. But before getting to them, you should know that online casino gaming is often the best option to consider before playing games at a brick-and-mortar casino.
Benefits of playing online casino games
While playing games at land-based casinos is social and interactive, it comes with some limitations, which is why online casinos have gained prominence worldwide. For instance, brick-and-mortar casinos can get really crowded, leading to long waits for games and services. This is where online casinos excel, offering convenience and accessibility.
One of the standout benefits of online casinos is the ability to indulge in your favorite games from the comfort of your home, eliminating the need to line up and wait for your turn on the slot machine. Speaking of slots, the online experience is particularly enhanced. Featured on renowned casino review sites, Lucky Twins is a fantastic slot,, offering players an immersive experience without the typical wait times of land-based casino. Beyond this, online casinos come with many choices or variety in the games you can play courtesy of the software providers in partnership. To add icing to the cake, you get different currency options to choose from, including cryptos.
Casino etiquette: Observe appropriate dress code
Proper dress code is a big part of the essential etiquette rules you must follow in the casino. Most casinos follow a dress code that all clients must abide by. Some prohibit open shoes, shorts, and T-shirts, while ladies are not allowed into establishments with sleeveless tops and dresses.
In this case, research the casino you will visit and note the dress code. If none is offered, consider a jacket with a plain shirt. Add a tie or bowtie, just in case. This is quite the contrary to online casinos, where you can play games, including real money slots, regardless of your apparel. On the other hand, you can play your favorite games at an online casino site with flip-flops and a vest. After all, the entire action happens remotely.
Learn how to play the game
With gambling statistics pointing to that 26% of the world’s population have an affinity to casino games for their simple rules and the thrill it comes with, it’s worth putting the effort to learn the tricks of the trade.
Simply put, learn how to play the game. Before visiting a casino, read books on the game you are interested in, watch tutorials, or even try playing online using the demo versions. For example, give Lucky Twins slot a try, which has a demo version that you can try out prior to wagering real cash. You can also watch other players at the casino, as this will help you learn a couple of tricks you would not know otherwise.
Don’t invade the personal space of other players
While not always the case, casinos can be crowded and packed to the brim, especially if a tournament exists. In such an event, it is key not to knowingly or unknowingly intrude on other players’ space, as this may rub them wrong (even on ordinary days). It is thus prudent to check the calendar before planning a trip to the casino to steer clear of tournament days and peak seasons.
This will help you adjust before you can comfortably play in a packed space. Observe this casino etiquette whether you are playing slot machines or table games. The good news is that most casinos try to create ample room for their players to avoid awkward scenarios.
Casino etiquette: Don’t put your belongings on the casino table
One of the key differences between land-based and online casinos is that you have to visit the venue to play games, unlike the latter.
In this case, you will need to carry personal belongings like your wallet. Don’t place your stuff on the table as part of the casino etiquette. This does not just apply to your coat or glasses but also to your smartphone or drink. Having your things on the table may block another player or be used to hide items on the table, such as the playing cards. To avoid ruffling feathers with the security, keep the blackjack, roulette, baccarat, or poker tables clear of your belongings.
Don’t touch cards or chips unless instructed by the dealer
If you are an overeager player, you may find yourself doing things that don’t comply with the casino’s code of conduct. This includes touching cards and chips without receiving direct orders from the croupier. In this regard, don’t move the cards or chips unless you are allowed to do so by the dealer, so that you are not mistaken for cheating in the game. Remember, all tables are often monitored by security personnel just in case you do so with an intention in mind.
Final thoughts on casino etiquette
The main aim for casino establishments is to ensure you have absolute fun when playing your favorite games. To make this possible, most casinos have etiquette rules. In a nutshell, some of the things you cannot do while in a casino include drinking beyond your limit, leaving your phone on the poker table, consulting the dealer, and shuffling a deck of cards. These aspects may lead to disputes or distractions and eventually land you into problems.
To avoid having awkward moments, know the signals used when playing different games, dress properly, and understand the gaming rules.

Take one good look around you- how many couples in your life look happy? How many of them are on the brink of collapse? Now look towards your own marriage. Do things seem rocky? Well, it’s been said that while 80% adults get married, about half of those eventually get divorced!
By now we all know what getting a divorce can cause a massive blow to your finances.
That’s why we decided to outline what to look out for in your own marriage. By seeing the signs and recognizing them well ahead of time, you’ll have time to prepare- both financially and emotionally. Read on to learn more about the signs that your partner might want to divorce you!
Refusing to Attend Counseling
Just because a couple wants to go to counseling doesn’t mean that divorce is on the horizon. In fact, spouses who get professional help claim will see an improvement in relationship satisfaction with a success rate of over 70%. So, therapy for two does work in most cases.
But if one partner refuses to go to counseling, it’s very likely that divorce will follow very soon. In most cases, men are the ones that most often refuse their wife’s wishes to go to counseling together.
Women will most likely initiate discussions about couple’s therapy, meaning they’re more likely to want to work through problems. That being said, they also initiate 69% of divorces!
No, stonewalling doesn’t mean some sort of house renovation. In fact, this term represents one of the most prominent predictors of an upcoming divorce.
Stonewalling occurs when one partner is trying to resolve an issue while the other doesn’t engage in the conversation, often mumbling or even flat out ignoring the conversation. What this means is that communication between partners is basically nonexistent, and it’s very difficult to fix.
That being said, it’s not impossible. So while stonewalling is a sign, it’s not a guarantee that the relationship is over!
The key to a healthy relationship is good, open communication. A sign that this is dwindling is when both parties become defensive at every twist and turn. This denotes the fact that one or both partners are having a hard time not only accepting responsibility, but also can no longer understand the other’s perspective.
If you notice a lot of victimhood or indignation when you’re trying to bring up certain problems to your partner, it’s time to reflect on what this could mean for your relationship.
This could mean double trouble for a marriage that is suffering financially. If during arguments or discussions about money your wife or husband is getting irrationally defensive, watch out!
Saying the Word ‘Divorce’
In most cases, couples really do want to work things out. Even if they’ve felt that their relationship is rocky for a while, they may push through in the hopes that things will get better eventually.
But when one party starts using the word ‘divorce’, this could mean you’re a lot closer to getting one than you think. As we said, this is mainly because people try to work things out for a while before even saying the word. Once it’s out in the open, it’s usually a sign that the person in question is quite desperate and has reached the end of his or her patience!
When one spouse loses respect for another, contempt may find its way into the relationship. This is characterized by specific methods of communication, both verbal and nonverbal. Expressions of disgust, sarcasm, eye rolling, criticism and hurtful universal statements like ‘you never listen’ or ‘everyone knows you’re untrustworthy’ are just a few of the things you might experience.
Keep in mind that contempt may build up over time, so it could take months or even years for all of these to pile up before you’re even noticing that your marriage is in danger!
Contempt is usually found alongside criticism in doomed relationships. No, we’re not talking about healthy criticism, which is vital for any marriage.
We’re talking about remarks that attack a person’s behavior instead of working on an issue. Again, universal remarks may be most harmful. Try to be on the lookout of how your spouse criticizes you. Do they tend to put blame on you no matter what? Do they claim you ‘always’ do the wrong thing?
If so, it’s time to take a good, hard look at your marriage!
When things in the bedroom aren’t what they used to be, you want to be careful about the path your marriage is taking. People cite this was one of the biggest precursors for divorce, so you should pay attention to whether or not you or your partner aren’t looking for any more sexual satisfaction.
Just keep in mind that all marriages are different, however. You’ll have unique sexual needs, so you need to compare them now to what you and your partner used to do in the past and not listen to advice that doesn’t apply to you.
Just keep in mind that sexual satisfaction may affect marital satisfaction!
A marriage in which one or both partners are unfaithful is not going to last. As many as 40% of people divorced their partners after they cheated on them.
But is it possible to recover? For some, this is a definite deal breaker. Other couples may benefit from counseling. However, chronic infidelity is a much bigger sign that divorce is on the horizon. It’s one thing for a partner to cheat once, but another thing for them to continue doing so.
One of the biggest reasons behind chronic infidelity? Loneliness. If someone feels lonely in a marriage, it’s common for them to step astray.
Preparing a Single Life
If your spouse is making big lifestyle changes, you may want to look for the reason why. Oftentimes, when someone is contemplating divorce, they may start preparing for a single lifestyle or going back in the dating pool.
They may even do these things subconsciously, losing weight, trying to stay fit, taking more care of their wardrobe or hair. A sudden interest in enhancing their appearance could mean that they’re ready to move on and we all know, dating isn’t easy! So, naturally, they’d want to look their best.
In order to look more economically viable for potential future partners, they could look into higher education or career changes!
Ever heard of marriages of endurance? In these types of marriages both partners are holding on because separating might be too much of a hassle. You’ve probably seen them out on a date. They’re that couple who are sitting together in a bar or restaurant but they’re hardly speaking, and if they are, the conversation isn’t very deep.
If this is beginning to happen to your marriage then it’s time to take the necessary steps in order to revive it. As always, couple’s therapy is a good first step, as is recognizing that both of you have a problem.
Just remember, then communication fades, so will your marriage, so watch out for this!

The Changing Face of Psychiatric Nursing – Care or Control?
The Changing Face of Psychiatric Nursing – Care or Control? ePsychNurse.Net – Towards Improved Quality – Improving Nurses’ Continuing Vocational Training in Psychiatric Hospitals and Inpatient Units
Välimäki M, Scott A, Lahti M & Chambers M (eds.)
Department of Nursing Science University of Turku, Turku ISBN: 978 – 951 – 29 – 3576 – 5
2 Preface This report has been written as part of the project “Toward improved quality – developing nurse’s continuing vocational training in hospitals and inpatient units”. Its overall goal is to ensure high quality, ethically appropriate and therapeutically effective interventions to enable nurses to manage distressed and disturbed patients in European psychiatric hospitals and inpatient units. In this large-scale, multinational projects there are all together six European countries involved: Finland, Ireland, England, Portugal, Italy and Lithuania. The project work plan were during autumn 2006 and spring 2007. The content of this publication was produced in the first stage of the project aiming to collect the preliminary source material for the project. The literature review was carried out in the project stage, providing the groundwork for the next steps for the project. This project aims to develop an interactive multinational portal with training material. Therefore, it is important to share an understanding of basic information, psychiatric nurse’s continuing vocational education, laws and ethical codes and patient restriction used in mental health care. In this publication, the purpose of the material produced here is to understand nurses’ educational need related to vocational continuing education and to be used in further project stages as an empirical data collection. The data were collected as a preliminary source material for latter phases where nurse’s perceptions of the current practice, nurse’s attitudes to mental illness, prevalence of use of seclusion room and existing and desired vocational training provision will be collected in six different European countries. The following organisations are involved in this project: University of Turku, Dublin City University, St. Vincent Hospital, National Council for the Professional Development of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Padova, Klaipeda College - Health Faculty, Klaipeda Psychiatric Hospital, Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Lisboa, Centro Hospitalar Psiquiátrico de Lisboa, Omnia Vocational Institution the Espoo Region, Kellokoski psychiatric hospital, Hyvinkää hospital area, Pirkanmaa Hospital District, Kingston University & St. George’s Medical School and South West London & St. George’s Mental Health NHS Trust. A wide variety of different countries, organisations and individuals in this project give us a strong confidence that theoretical, practical, ethical and political issues around the topic of interest will be taken account during this project lifetime. We are aware the content of this book will be partially outdated almost as soon as it has been published. We still hope that this publication will encourage nurses and different professions working in mental health care field to have a basic understanding of similarities and differences between different European countries related in mental health care. We also hope that this publication will inspirate and motivate nurses in maintaining and developing the quality of psychiatric care in Europe.

- Rapid Decrease in Delivery of Chemotherapy to Tumors after Anti-VEGF Therapy: Implications for Sched...
Cancer Cell, Volume 21, Issue 1, 17 January 2012, Pages 82-91
Astrid A.M. Van der Veldt, Mark Lubberink, Idris Bahce, Maudy Walraven, Michiel P. de Boer, Henri N.J.M. Greuter, N. Harry Hendrikse, Jonas Eriksson, Albert D. Windhorst, Pieter E. Postmus, Henk M. Verheul, Erik H. Serné, Adriaan A. Lammertsma and Egbert F. Smit
SummaryCurrent strategies combining anti-angiogenic drugs with chemotherapy provide clinical benefit in cancer patients. It is assumed that anti-angiogenic drugs, such as bevacizumab, transiently normalize abnormal tumor vasculature and contribute to improved delivery of subsequent chemotherapy. To investigate this concept, a study was performed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients using positron emission tomography (PET) and radiolabeled docetaxel ([11C]docetaxel). In NSCLC, bevacizumab reduced both perfusion and net influx rate of [11C]docetaxel within 5 hr. These effects persisted after 4 days. The clinical relevance of these findings is notable, as there was no evidence for a substantial improvement in drug delivery to tumors. These findings highlight the importance of drug scheduling and advocate further studies to optimize scheduling of anti-angiogenic drugs.

- Use of anti-VEGF adjuvant therapy in cancer: challenges and rationale
Trends in Molecular Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 3, 1 March 2010, Pages 122-132
Anil Bagri, Hosein Kouros-Mehr, Kevin G. Leong and Greg D. Plowman
AbstractSeveral ongoing clinical studies are designed to test the efficacy of antiangiogenic therapies in the adjuvant setting, where the goal is to increase the cure rate in patients who have just undergone surgical resection of all visible disease. Tumors depend on angiogenesis to support their growth and progression and blockade of this process has proven to be a valid strategy for treating multiple types of advanced metastatic cancer. However, results from the first of these clinical adjuvant studies were disappointing, stimulating extensive debate as to the potential of this approach. It will require additional clinical studies before we realize whether the effects of angiogenic blockade are durable, and if they are able to cure a subset of patients with early stage cancer.

- VEGF Inhibits Tumor Cell Invasion and Mesenchymal Transition through a MET/VEGFR2 Complex
Cancer Cell, Volume 22, Issue 1, 10 July 2012, Pages 21-35
Kan V. Lu, Jeffrey P. Chang, Christine A. Parachoniak, Melissa M. Pandika, Manish K. Aghi, David Meyronet, Nadezda Isachenko, Shaun D. Fouse, Joanna J. Phillips, David A. Cheresh, Morag Park and Gabriele Bergers
SummaryInhibition of VEGF signaling leads to a proinvasive phenotype in mouse models of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and in a subset of GBM patients treated with bevacizumab. Here, we demonstrate that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) directly and negatively regulates tumor cell invasion through enhanced recruitment of the protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) to a MET/VEGFR2 heterocomplex, thereby suppressing HGF-dependent MET phosphorylation and tumor cell migration. Consequently, VEGF blockade restores and increases MET activity in GBM cells in a hypoxia-independent manner, while inducing a program reminiscent of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition highlighted by a T-cadherin to N-cadherin switch and enhanced mesenchymal features. Inhibition of MET in GBM mouse models blocks mesenchymal transition and invasion provoked by VEGF ablation, resulting in substantial survival benefit.

VEGF-targeted cancer therapy strategies: current progress, hurdles and future prospects

Despite setbacks, the clinical development of antiangiogenic agents has accelerated remarkably over the past 3–4 years. Consequently, there are currently three direct inhibitors of the VEGF pathway approved for use in cancer therapy. Other agents that block the VEGF pathway are in advanced stages of clinical development and have shown promising results. With these exciting developments come crucial questions regarding the use of these new molecular-targeted agents, alone or in combination with standard cytotoxic or targeted agents. Importantly, the mechanisms of action of anti-VEGF therapy remain unknown. Here, we discuss several potential mechanisms of action such as tumor vascular normalization, bone marrow-derived cell recruitment blockade and cytostatic effects of anti-VEGF therapy. We review the current progress, the major stumbling blocks and the future directions for anti-cancer therapy using anti-VEGF agents, emphasizing clarification of the underlying molecular mechanisms of action and biomarker identification and validation.

Existing amongst some of their best-known watches, the Patek Philippe Chronograph is a model that has always welcomed serious scrutiny from aficionados and collectors alike.
What we have on offer here today is the legendary Ref. 5070R, first released in 1998 as Patek Philippe’s first manually wound, chronograph-only watch since the Ref. 1463, which saw its production ceasing sometime in the 1960s. So, when Patek brought out the Ref. 5070 after a near 40-year absence of a manually wound chronograph model, it was considered a big deal in the watch world. Fun fact, the design of this Ref. 5070 was actually inspired by a rare and possibly piece unique aviator split second chronograph Ref. 2512 from the 1950s, which sold at Christie’s in the year 2000 for over USD 836,000.
Housed in a rose gold case and fitted with a beautiful opaline dial and applied Arabic numerals, I imagine that the Ref. 5070 would easily command the attention of the entire room due to its masculine size and proportions at 42mm x 11.6mm. Because of its down-turned beveled lugs and wide-stepped bezel, I find the overall appearance of the Ref. 5070 to be somewhat sturdy yet elegant without being overbearing. Although the Ref. 5070 was Patek Philippe’s first production model with a case size larger than 40mm, it was still quintessentially a Patek Philippe design at its very core as it still retains a lot of the little details Patek Philippe is famous for. For instance, the dial showcases a balancing exercise of running a tachymeter scale on the periphery to offset the “wideness” of the dial, and how the applied Arabic numerals partially disappear due to the placement of the subdials.
I personally find the Ref. 5070 to be a touch more appealing than its subsequent in-house successors, this is because the Ref. 5070 was Patek Philippe’s final chronograph powered by a Cal. CH27-70 that is derived from the venerable Lemania 2310 ebauche.
For those who already know, the Lemania 2310 is widely regarded as one of the finest chronograph movements to have ever been designed and produced and was used widely by brands from Omega to Breguet and from Vacheron Constantin to Audemars Piguet. While many watches do share this ebauche, Patek Philippe’s version is arguably the best in terms of finishing and modifications.
The last Ref. 5070 variants were produced in 2009 and were subsequently replaced by the Ref. 5170 with an in-house Cal. CH29-535 PS, which was again, succeeded by the Ref. 5172. While these days it is all about who produces in-house movements, and perhaps rightly so, there is a certain romantic charm about Patek Philippe of the past and the use of this Lemania caliber that makes the 5070 so collectible today. In fact, ironically, the Ref. 5070 is seen as far more desirable than its in-house successors.
Overall, the Ref. 5070 is an interesting offering of a pure chronograph by Patek Philippe, because, through this reference, I see a time when Patek Philippe was more open to taking risks in their watch design and approach. Despite it being somewhat of an outlier in terms of its lineage in traditional chronograph design, it still exudes a certain sense of grace and finesse that is only found in Patek Philippe’s timepieces.

My hospital uses dry-erase whiteboards as a tool to communicate with patients and family members. Mounted to the walls in the patients’ rooms, the boards are prominent and concise. Aside from a lot of basic information, notes get added to the board when diagnostic tests are completed, when complementary therapies have been implemented, and when housekeeping staff visit. The “meat” of the board, however, is the section that addresses plans and goals for the day. The plans and goals are updated and modified continuously by nursing staff. They’re specific to each patient, yet, despite their personalization, the goals for ICU patients tend to fall into distinct categories.
The first category includes goals which are often set by the patients themselves. They tend to require a certain amount of collaboration and active participation. These types of goals, which include things like “maximize incentive spirometer use,” “ambulate,” and “advance diet,” imply a relatively healthy state and tend to predict transfer orders.
The next type of goal is aimed at restoring health and stability. These goals don’t necessarily require patient participation and often focus on pathophysiologic processes. On the whiteboards of these rooms, the listed goals are likely to include things like “wean ventilator,” “control agitation,” “control fever,” or “increase level of consciousness.” In these cases, the goals are often of more interest to the family members than the patients.
The most critically ill and unstable patients are the hardest people for whom to establish goals, and sometimes the immediacy and focus required to support these patients preclude the time required to formulate and write goals on a dry-erase board. The more pressing the needs of the patient, the briefer the goals tend to be, and the brevity often portends the gravity of the situation: “oxygenate,” “ventilate,” “perfuse.” The goal “live” also belongs to this category, although decorum discourages writing “live” as the plan for the day.
Overall, the whiteboards are excellent communication tools. Although they’re not always utilized or appreciated by the ICU patients themselves, they often serve as touchstones for family members, who take comfort in written updates and established goals. They provide a different kind of communication to the nurses, though. In a unit where stability can be as fleeting as a dry-erase marker, the whiteboards sometimes provide a snapshot of general direction—especially for those reading between the lines.

Freese and Nichols developed a two-phase design and construction project to replace an existing water bridge with a dual tub reinforced concrete structure. The structure was designed with cast-in-place components as well pre-cast components. Incorporated into the design were two 180-foot-long battered gabion wall earth retaining structures, a bridge designed to support tracked dredging equipment, an upstream water "chute" and a downstream hydraulic jump structure.
Construction was separated into two components: temporary bracing/support component to stabilize the existing structure through the 2011 irrigation season and the final construction phase between October 2011 and March 2012 (replacing the existing structure).

Lebanese Palace, Mahmoud and Fadi Itaif are challenging the hookah ban on cultural grounds. They claim the water pipe bylaw infringes on their rights because smoking shisha is intimately connected to Middle Eastern and Arab culture.
A hearing into the legality of the bylaw is scheduled for February.
For now, the three bylaw challengers will have to satisfy the court order and pay the city within the next 30 days.
City solicitor and clerk Rick O’Connor told council that enforcement of the bylaw continues. In fact, a court on Wednesday registered a conviction against a customer for violating the bylaw, resulting in a $385 fine. O’Connor didn’t identify the establishment in his memo to council.

Uptown's newest restaurant is no small endeavor. Coup D'etat's 9,000 square feet of space are enough to seat 300 people on two levels and serve many more from a street food window on Lagoon Avenue.
The people behind the restaurant have a good track record. The ownership team is Jester Concepts, the same company that opened Borough in the North Loop just a year ago.
Borough has been listed by several critics as one of the best new restaurants of 2013. Jester Concepts is a five-person ownership team made up of operators Brent Frederick and Jacob Toledo. Three other owners make up the executive chef team: Tyler Shipton and Nick O'Leary (both former Travail chefs) and Joe Rolle.
The bar menu at Coup D'etat comes from Jesse Held, who won lots of praise for doing the same at Borough's bar, Parlour.
The restaurant was designed by Elness Swenson Graham Architects of Minneapolis.
The space is on the first two levels of The Walkway, a new development at Lake Street and Girard Avenue. Cowboy Slim's was torn down to make room for the building, which also has 92 apartments.
Coup D'etat has a mix of adventurous items like bone marrow ($14) and octopus ($12); pricier dinners like the flat iron steak ($30) and quail ($24); but also casual options like $12 to $15 pizzas. When the street food window opens this spring it will have an even more casual menu.
The restaurant's grand opening is Jan. 20. The restaurant will be open 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. daily.

Running Time: 91 min
Language: Hungarian, English Subtitles
The story of three generations of men, over two centuries, filled with oddities and cringe worthy moments is the only way to describe Taxidermia. This movie isn’t for the faint of heart nor is it for the typical foreign movie connoisseur. All the way from the beginning to the end, the viewer is taken through completely unique stories, each, leaving the viewer either traumatized, questioning who could possibly write a movie like this and where they got their inspiration. Taxidermia is the perfect movie for horror fans or for someone who craves a deranged story with a copious amount of gore and disturbing imagery.
The film takes place throughout three different generations and the settings reflect everything from a small Hungarian slum, decayed by years of neglect, to an old European sports ring, complete with everything one would picture from the communist era and finally the shops and markets modern society. The cinematography itself is beautiful and artfully done though the environments are visually unpleasant and strange which gives the viewer the best of both worlds. As dark as the settings are, there’s always a strange beauty brought out by contrasting colors, camera angles and special effects.
Just like the masterful use when it comes to settings and photography, the gritty and gory parts of the movie are just as brilliant. Taxidermia constantly and graphically depicts gore and bodily fluids in ways that haven’t been done in movies before. The slicing of flesh uses real meat, real (I think) inner organs, real vomit and other fluids which leave the viewer as disgusted as they’d be in real life if they’ve seen anything similar. The movie could never be made in the United States as it would violate numerous health codes not to mention the protests that PETA would bring for a scene where an animal is slaughtered. The imagery quite possibly makes the movie too extreme and graphic for the majority of people, let alone anyone under eighteen.
As if the imagery wasn’t enough, each characters story is extremely twisted and depressing. The grandfather works at a military outpost, where he lives in a small shack and is assigned menial jobs all while having deranged sexual fantasies. His son, a morbidly obese competitive eater, yearns to be with the one woman he loves. Finally we have the grandson, who runs a taxidermy shop and takes care of his father, who is too fat to move, and his giant cats. The generations of strange characters provide the viewer with an interesting story different from any that they’ve seen before.
If you’ve been having trouble finding a movie with a unique plot, strange characters, a mix of beautiful and horrific imagery, Taxidermia is for you. This movie proves that women producers can make a movie just as vile and gory as their male counterparts and that’s definitely a good thing for any fan of the horror genera. While the movie is way too much for most viewers, if you can bring yourself to endure the gritty stuff you’ll be treated to an entertaining and unique movie that isn’t common in a world of movie rip-offs and remakes. Taxidermia is absolutely worth a watch if you’re a fan of the horror, gory or off the wall movies.

Pair Endler Guppy *2.5cm* Guppies Fish * Male + Female UK
Aquarium fish Poecilia Libestes Reticulata, often known as the Guppy, is a popular choice. It's a great choice for newbie aquarists since it's simple to care for and doesn't get in the way. In place of eggs, the Guppy, a member of the Livebearer family, will lay free swimming fry. South and Central American seas are where the Guppy comes from, although it may also be found wild in other parts of the globe, including Florida in the United States. In an effort to reduce malaria, the Guppy has been purposely released in numerous Asian waterways.
You may choose from a variety of Guppy fish models, each with a unique body form and color. Red, green, and blue are the most prevalent colors. In addition to Veiltail guppy, Lacetail guppy and Lyretail guppy, there are also Flagtail guppy, Flagtail guppy, Long fin guppy, Fantail guppy, Red tail guppy, Triangle tail guppy, Rounded guppy, Fancy Guppy, Tuxedo guppy, Glass guppy, Mosaic Guppy, King Cobra Guppy, Snakeskin guppy, and Peacock Guppy.
Guppies are popular in community aquariums because to their calm disposition. However, since other fish can attack them by biting their long fins, they prefer to be housed in species aquariums. A charming school may be created by grouping numerous Guppies together.
It's possible to keep a Guppy fish in a 2 gallon aquarium, however it's recommended that you keep more than one Guppy in a bigger aquarium. To keep the water temperature steady, you will need a heater and a thermometer, a filter, a fish net, an algae scrubber
, and an air stone or similar to maintain the water oxygen-rich. Decorate the aquarium with plants so that the Guppy fish have somewhere to hide and feel more comfortable. The aquarium may also be decorated with pebbles, branches, and other natural materials. Gravel should be used to line the aquarium's bottom. To get rid of tap water's toxic chlorine taste, acquire a dechlorinating chemical
from your local fish shop. Keep the pH between 6.8 and 7.6 and the water temperature between 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit for the greatest results with your Guppies.
Guppies need to be fed around once or twice a day at most. It's critical that you don't feed your Guppy too much. After just a few minutes, every meals should be devoured. It's possible that you're overfeeding your Guppy. Any fish shop will have flake food created specifically for tropical fish, such the Guppy. While a flake meal diet
is a suitable starting point for the Guppy, live food is recommended as a supplement. Your Guppy can thrive on flake food, but live food is better for its health and well-being. Freezing or thawing Brine Shrimp
is a popular meal for Guppy fish since it is simple to make at home and is extremely nutritious. Your Guppy can eat Bloodworms
, Micro Worms
, Fruit Flies and Mosquito larvae as well as Daphnia and cut up Earthworms


Students accept NASA’s rocket challenge
by Jamie Gonzales |
The first few things Brandon Grimshaw launched as a kid definitely wouldn't have met NASA's rigorous standards for their annual Student Launch Initiative competition. But you can't say those early aerosol can "launches" at Boy Scout camp didn't spark excitement for a future career as an engineer. Now he's surrounded by a hive of finely tuned engineering minds-mechanical, electrical and computer science-who are helping to design and build a reusable rocket with an autonomous robot arm used to grab a payload. Sounds cool, right? It is. It's also a lot of work.
The skinny on the rocket
"We've come up with a 6-foot rocket, four inches in diameter, that's going to get to 3,000 feet," said Grimshaw. "If you go past [3,000], you're in trouble, if you go under it, you're in trouble. You want to hit 3,000 right on and that's not easy to do."
To get their mini-MAV rocket just right, the team has put in more than 100 hours coming up with the design, running simulations, building and testing sub-scale models and aggregating data to share with NASA reviewers each step of the way.
"MAV stands for Mars Autonomous Vehicle, so basically a Martian soil sample will be lifted with a robot, somehow, into the rocket," Grimshaw explained. With its payload in place, the rocket gets righted and launched to 3,000 feet. "The point when it stops-that's apogee, it's highest point-it will deploy what we call a drogue, in our case a drogue parachute. From 3,000 feet to 1,000 feet it will descend with the drogue. Then somehow, under NASA's requirements, the payload needs to eject with a parachute away from the rocket." If all goes to plan, rocket sections and payload float gently back to Earth and could, technically, be reassembled for another go.
"Rocket guys don't like what they call confetti-where you just shoot it up and it blows up and goes everywhere," he said. "They want you to be able to pick 'em up, clean 'em up and put them back on the launch pad. Saves a lot of money that way."
The multi-disciplinary team
Grimshaw's background is sales, so he has no trouble talking to people. About a year ago, he started identifying and chatting up the folks who would become the UAA Rocketry team. As a transfer student from Utah State University, he'd seen past NASA Student Launch Initiative projects and, inspired by the success of the UAA College of Engineering's Baja Car team, he wanted more students to get hands-on, real-world engineering experience before graduation.
The NASA Student Launch Initiative project is an August-to-April commitment for team members. Since most engineering capstone courses, like the senior design project, are just three credits, the team has been working with the College of Engineering to figure out creative ways to get credit for all nine months of their work.
Grimshaw's brought on board mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, computer science engineers and one non-engineer-a project manager from the Master of Science in Project Management program to keep them on track. The full team, in addition to Grimshaw, includes: Stephen Arwine, Jordan Shindle, John Berg, Jacob Dempsey, Bryce Mahn, Bryan Beechinor, Andrea Hulman and Carolyn Forner.
Shindle, a senior, serves as the team's safety officer, ensuring the team maintains a safe culture and adheres to regulations both in the workshop and during test launches. Both Shindle and Grimshaw agree that the pace of the project, coupled with full class loads and family life, has kept them on their toes.
"We all have kids," said Grimshaw. "This project gives us really good knowledge, for our families and for us, on time management. Can we still do these projects and maintain family life? It gives us a good idea of what's involved if we really join the aerospace industry."
Shindle added, "NASA is really careful how they tailor the competition to make it as much as possible like a real-life design/build process."
The team has also connected with a local rocketry expert, David Erickson, founder of the Anchorage chapter of the National Association of Rocketry. Erickson serves as mentor and inspiration.
Countdown to Alabama
The team still needs to navigate two more hurdles-official NASA reviews of their progress-before being cleared for launch in Huntsville, Alabama, April 7-12.
Along the way, they've been responsible for raising their own funds. Grimshaw, designated team leader and chief talker, has been pleased with the community's response to his requests for support.
NASA limits all mini-MAV teams to $5,000 for the actual rocket costs. So far, the Alaska Space Grant Program has been their flagship sponsor for rocket parts. They've also had support from AMC Engineers, Spenard Builders Supply, SolidWorks, ReidMiddleton, Lowe's and the local IBEW chapter. They're currently working with UAA and Alaska Airlines to negotiate assistance with travel costs.
NASA also requires each team to spread the excitement around the community, paying particular attention to middle schoolers.
"It's a great opportunity to get STEM out in the public," said Grimshaw. "I didn't want to be a mechanical engineer because of all the math involved. Now I'm getting a minor in math, and love it."
That's the trick of science and engineering-behind every cool rocket launch is a whole lot of math.
"It starts clicking after you get through your algebras," Grimshaw explained. "I struggled forever, having to retake class after class. Then I got through all three of my calculus classes no problem, As and Bs." So, take heart, kids, understand algebra and calculus will be a breeze. Ace calculus and you just might be tapped to blow things up (in a safe, controlled way) as a career.
To see some math in action, stay tuned to the UAA Rocketry Facebook page, where they'll announce future test launch plans.

Description: I'm sure everyone is familiar with the Fast and Furious franchise that is so darn popular nowadays. Because of the films popularity, I thought it was only right to make a lesson on how to draw Fast and Furious, step by step in the form of Vin Diesel's or Dominic Toretto's car which is the famous 1970 Dodge Charger R/t with a souped up engine. This car is badass in every way possible. There is literally no way that I would pass up a chance to own a car like the 1970 Dodge Charger R/T from the Fast and Furious films. As you fans of the franchise know, the Charger is Dominic's main car throughout all the Furious films. It has been crashed and brought back from the dead so many times it's almost incredible. Anyways, this shouldn't be complex to tackle because I made sure not to add too many tiny details. I hope you have fun drawing the Fast and Furious Dodge Charger. I will be back with other tuts for you all.

The White House said Biden could not attend due to a scheduling conflict
By Morgan Phillips
The University of Notre Dame’s 2021 commencement is set for Sunday, but President Biden will reportedly be absent from the event.
Breaking with recent tradition, the president will not address the ceremony after 4,300 “members of the Notre Dame community” signed a petition urging Notre Dame President Fr. John Jenkins not to invite Biden, the second Roman Catholic president, over his stance on abortion.

Whamos Cruz Backed Out from Lie Detector Test of Raffy Tulfo Against 2 Complainants
Social media star Kim Whamos Cruz was placed on hot water after he backed out from Raffy Tulfo’s lie detector test against 2 TikToker complainants.
Kim Whamos Cruz was previously challenged to take a lie detector test after two TikToker girls complained to Raffy Tulfo’s show about his alleged abuse. Whamos has come under new scrutiny after it was revealed that he had withdrawn from the lie detector exam.
Rose Ann Sabile and ‘Honey,’ two TikTokers, went to Raffy Tulfo in Action to complain about a collaboration with the vlogger that turned into harassment. The Whamos, on the other hand, have refuted the two’s charges, accusing them of fabricating a story.
Raffy Tulfo decided to put the three of them through a lie detector exam as a result. Following this development, both Rose and ‘Honey’ have consented to take the lie detector test, according to the most recent update on the situation.
Rose and ‘Honey,’ when asked about their thoughts and reactions to Whamos pulling out of the test, stated it didn’t surprise them. They claimed the influencer was accustomed to lying.
“Di na po ako magugulat kasi sa simula pa lang po, puro kasinungalingan na,” Rose said while ‘Honey’ mentioned, “Puro kasinungalingan po talaga lahat ng sinasabi niya.”
During the video, Raffy questioned their RTIA reporter, Mau Peralta, about Whamos’ decision to skip the lie detector test. His lawyer, according to Whamos, did not want him to utilize a lie detector.
“Ayon nga dito kay Whamos, ayaw daw po ng kanyang abogado na magpa-lie detector po siya,” Mau shared. “Hindi natin mapipigilan yun kung yun ang kagustuhan ng kanyang abogado, wala namang pilitan ‘to,” Raffy replied.

What is Card-Not-Present fraud? The growing problem of card-not-present fraud harms both online consumers and online merchants. This type of fraud occurs in fraudulent transactions where a cardholder does not present a card to a merchant in person. Instead it is being used on the internet, phone and mail-order transactions. Usually in most cases, this happens when a crook steals card information such as a card number with hacking, phishing or skimming. This then enables a fraudster to make unauthorized transactions even if the actual card is never lost or stolen.
This type of fraud accounts for billions of dollars in losses all over the world for online merchants, and sure causes headaches for cardholders. Card-not-present fraud is increasing because crooks have turned to this payment method following the use of more secure chip-enabled cards for card-present transactions. Which also stems from the growth of e-commerce. Madeline Aufseeser, co-founder and CEO of Tender Armor, a provider of fraud prevention technology calls this a huge problem that’s “growing exponentially and unabated.”
Studies indicate one of the key impacts of card-not-present fraud on consumers is anxiety about the safety and security of their credit and debit card information. Fifty-six percent of consumers said they would change their online shopping behavior after an incident like this. Fortunately, if you become a victim of card-not-present fraud, your liability is minimal. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, you’re not liable for unauthorized transactions when your credit card number has been stolen. The Federal Electronic Fund Transfer Act states you are not liable for the transactions as long as you report them within 60 days to your bank statement being sent to you.
This leads to the big question, how do you reduce card-not-present risk? Here are a few tips to avoid becoming a victim of this fraud:
Do not share usernames or password with anyone.

Grocery store uses hilarious viral video of hapless burglar trying to smash store glass in advert
A Northern California grocery store is turning an attempted robbery to its advantage by making a viral video of the crime the basis for its latest commercial.
In the footage, a suspect in pajama pants, a v-neck shirt, and pantyhose on his head attempts to break into the Redding store by smashing through a glass door with a rock.
When the plan fails, the burglar runs away.
In the footage the would-be thief peers into the empty store
Once he determines the store is empty, he gets ready to act
The video has been viewed more than 6.5 million times on YouTube.
'We decided we might as well reap the benefits,' Kent Pfrimmer, owner of Kent’s Meats and Groceries, told ABC News. 'The main thing was as long as people still enjoy watching it and get a laugh out of it, that’s great. We can promote with the advertisement.'
In the advertisement, footage of the attempted robbery plays while the announcer narrates: ''Kent’s Meats and Groceries’ award-winning New York-style pastrami: So good, some people will do just about anything to get more.'
The thief tries to get in by smashing through the glass door
Pfrimmer said the commercial has gotten a great response.
'I wouldn’t call him a world’s meanest criminal, by any means,' Pfrimmer said. 'To me, it was comical.
'For $500 – that’s what I spent to fix the glass – I got about $500,000 in publicity for it. How could you be unhappy?'
The commercial has received almost 700,000 views.
The witty video claims that the store is so good people will do anything to get in
Redding police have yet to identify the man in the footage but Pfrimmer isn't worried.
'I really feel that have many more important things to try to take care of,' he said.
And he'll retire the commercial soon.
'I don’t want to ride a good horse to death,' he said.

Lloyd Cole still causing a commotion
By David Wood
Where: Cheltenham Town Hall
When: Tuesday, April 14
Lloyd Cole, who burst onto the British music scene with his band The Commotions in the mid-1980s, brings his latest tour From Rattlesnakes to Guesswork to Cheltenham Town Hall in April.
In 1990, Lloyd launched a solo career and has been making albums ever since. In the early 2000s, Cole retreated somewhat from rock/pop, performing mostly acoustically, but his 2013 album Standards took fans, critics, and maybe even the artist himself, aback with its brash electric rock 'n' roll sound.
This show will present music from Lloyd's back catalogue, starting with Rattlesnakes in 1984, right up to his album Guesswork released in July 2019.
His latest album, Guesswork, mirrors the uncertainty of the world as you enter your third act and is consistent with a record whose protagonists seem reluctant to venture confidently beyond the moment.

Dressed in a natty sport coat and slacks, Jon Voight cuts a distinctive figure in the landscape of California casual, as he crosses the parking lot and enters the Beverly Glen Deli near Mulholland Drive on the spine of the Santa Monica Mountains.
His lank hair is still thick, faded from trademark towhead to white, not many gradations down the color chart. The blue eyes crinkle in amusement, flash with passion, always active and aware. With his ramrod-straight posture and tall, trim frame, he looks decades younger than his almost-77 years.
Voight is obviously a regular at this eatery near the tiptop of Beverly Hills, not far from his home: "The usual?" a waitress asks, which turns out to be a plate of steamed broccoli, turkey bacon and an English muffin, with eggs over medium. As he tucks into breakfast, he's asked how he stays in such great shape and flashes a quick smile, saying, "You're assuming I'm in good shape."
But the eye doesn't lie. The camera legendarily adds 10 pounds, but Voight—seen in swim trunks and open shirt around a swimming pool in several episodes of the recently completed third season of Showtime's hit series "Ray Donovan"—creates the opposite effect, with his lean physique.
"I do a little bit of exercise," Voight allows, "but I'm also very active as a person. I do an essential group of exercises to strengthen my core. I always do at least that. And I love to play with my grandchildren, when I see them. I like spending my time around children in general. I'm not an armchair grandfather—I'm interactive.
"At my house, in the middle of the living room, I've moved all the furniture around to make room for a Ping-Pong table. My property is not overly manicured, but I have this field that I keep mowed and we play flag football. Or baseball. Or the kids will take golf clubs out and hit some balls. I even invite the kids in the neighborhood to use it. The happiest sound for me is sitting in my house and hearing children and their laughing coming from the field."
Voight brings plenty of his own youthful enthusiasm to his work on the series. Inspired in his youth as a struggling actor by the work of Marlon Brando and Sir Laurence Olivier, Voight is game to try anything in pursuit of a truthful moment.
"He's extraordinarily dedicated to the work," says David Hollander, executive producer on "Ray Donovan," which was renewed for a fourth season in August. "He's a gentleman. He wears a sport coat every day; he's always well-dressed and very gentlemanly, incredibly well-mannered.
"He's been in the business a very long time and he has incredible stories to tell. But in no way is he a guy who holds that over anybody's head. Really, the most common refrain from Jon is, ‘Isn't this wonderful that we're here, working together, trying to figure this shit out?' "
And, despite his joking to the contrary, Voight is also extremely fit. "I remember we were shooting a scene and I'm directing," Hollander says. "And I turn around and Jon is down on the ground, doing 20 or 30 push-ups behind the camera so he'd be sweating for the scene. He's incredibly vibrant. He doesn't seem like someone my father's age."
Liev Schreiber, who plays the title character in the Showtime series, sports the gym-toned physique of a boxer, and marvels at Voight's stamina. "The other day," he recalls, "he and I had to pick up [costar] Eddie Marsan and carry him out of a hotel room and we had to do a few takes. I was asking for mercy long before Jon did. The guy's in incredible shape."
"Ray Donovan" has earned Voight an Emmy nomination and a Golden Globe award, for playing a character Schreiber describes as "a likable monster." Mickey Donovan is a small-time criminal with big-time ideas. Released from prison in Massachusetts after 20 years (after being set up by his son Ray), the Boston-to-his-bones Mickey has resettled in Los Angeles for his golden years. Over the show's three seasons, he's found ways to insinuate himself into everything from the movie industry to the world of medical marijuana to, in the latest season, a new incarnation as a paternal pimp.
Ray Donovan is a professional Hollywood fixer—Mickey Donovan is a destroyer, someone whose plans inevitably go wrong for him and those around him.
"They're a good combination," Voight says with a laugh. "Mickey will get you into trouble and Ray will get you out of it."
Asked how he'd deal with Mickey Donovan if he were to meet such a character in the real world, Voight gets wide-eyed. "I'd stay the hell away from him," he says. "And I'd advise everyone else to do the same. Mickey is a mess."
Yet somehow, as Voight plays him, Mickey Donovan consistently finds ways to surprise: with vulnerability, with brashness and an adventurous spirit that too often strays into self-centered impulsiveness. It was evident to the show's creators early on that Voight had tapped into something with the character that allows him to somehow remain charming while committing awkward and even loathsome acts.
Those extra gears were eye-opening to some. "Jon's humor was a surprise," says Bryan Zuriff, who is also a "Ray Donovan" executive producer. "He really has a good time with Mickey. I remember one of his first scenes, he's dancing with a hooker in a hotel room—and I knew we'd made the right choice. His lack of inhibition is amazing."
Hollander points to a signature sequence of the first season: a love scene with Rosanna Arquette when Mickey misinterprets her sarcastic response to his suggestion that she give him oral sex ("With a gun to my head. Maybe.") and puts an actual pistol to her skull.
"What Jon can do that I don't think many actors can is to take a despicable action like that and put a humanity inside it so that, somehow, you feel sorry for his character instead of his victim," Hollander says. "The way he did it, you could see his pain when she started crying, but you could see how gleefully he put the gun to her head... When we saw him do that, we began to get a little more reckless in the way we were writing Mickey.
"Jon is always pretty unexpected in the best way. He's fearless, ferocious and very funny. I didn't expect any actor to be able to take this character to such extreme places and get away with it. But I've seen him do it again and again."
Schreiber, who also worked with Voight on the 2004 remake of The Manchurian Candidate, says, "There's a duality to that character, which is what every actor looks for. It's very rare you find those characters to play, but Mickey is a wonderful example of that. An actor lives for that, when someone writes a great thing."
Mickey has become a much larger character on the show since his first appearance. When Voight read Ann Biderman's script for the pilot, he noticed that Mickey wasn't in that first show very much.
"But every time he does appear, he's doing something amazing," Voight says, "something shocking, something crazy. Or else he was being talked about as this danger that was coming into their lives. I loved the humor of the character. I remember that, when I met with Ann and Bryan, most of what we did was laugh. The audacity of the character was fun for us. And Ann was so spontaneously enthusiastic about it based on our meeting that we couldn't walk away from each other."
Mickey is a conniver and a killer, ambivalently loyal to his sons: "But he's trying to be important to his family," Voight notes. "He wants to take care of them. He wants to be the father.
"But Mickey has to be watched. Carefully."
During the hiatus between seasons, Voight took as opposite a tack as an actor could, signing on to play college football coaching legend Paul "Bear" Bryant in an independent film Woodlawn, to be released late this year. A true story about an early 1970s Alabama's high school football team that battled racism by embracing Christianity, it offers Voight limited screen time. But Bryant, who recruited and coached one of the players on the team, makes several timely—and, thanks to Voight, memorable—appearances in the drama.
Voight was intimidated by the role, nonetheless: "It's an impossible character to play, really. You need a certain physical stature and a voice I can't hope to duplicate. He was a basso; he could have played Boris Godunov in the opera. I'm a tenor. Only certain voices can do that. It was hard for me to get down there."
Kevin Downes, one of the producers of Woodlawn, brushes aside Voight's modesty: "There were people who knew Bryant who saw the movie and said it gave them chills, because he played it so true to life. Bear Bryant is such an iconic figure and Jon was our first choice. He dives into his roles."
Says Voight, "I tried to use my intelligence to see how I could be photographed as him and get away with it. He had a certain physical stature, a certain integrity. He was a good example of the word gravitas. I had an impression of him that was very impressive to me; I understand why people held him in awe. I thought, ‘How can I create a man of similar dimension?'
"I like to say that playing Bear Bryant is like climbing the Himalayas. You get as high as you can. And when you walk away, the mountain is still there."
Though Voight was the biggest name in a cast of mostly unknowns, Downes says, "He treats every role like it's the only role he's ever done. He's got this great work ethic; he's in his 70s but he seems younger than me, and I'm 43. He's not out there mailing in his roles."
These days, the step from big-screen films to pay-cable series television is a no-brainer. But Voight pioneered the move 25 years ago, before it was fashionable, starring in a series of TV movie roles (as well as a memorable cameo in a legendary 1994 episode of "Seinfeld"). He tested the waters of series TV in 2009 with an arc on "24," as a ruthless private-security contractor bent on stealing biological weapons.
"He is, hands down, one of the great American actors," says Howard Gordon, executive producer on "24" during Voight's season. "So when his name came up for the show and he was gracious enough to accept, I was thrilled. He was so professional and kind—just a remarkable person."
On "24," Voight liked the fact that the producers and writers were figuring out the plot for later episodes as they filmed earlier ones—making it up as they went along, as it were.

ST. LOUIS — In the words of Kirven Douthit-Boyd, co-artistic director of dance, hip-hop and modern dance, "COCA-Center of Creative Arts’ 2021-2022 season is well-rounded with something for everyone: dance lovers, music lovers, and theatre lovers, to enjoy."
“From a dance perspective we really value the process it took to put in the planning and preparation behind performances,” Douthit-Boyd said. “Obviously, having our kids in the room with professional artists is something that we find very, very valuable for their development, especially at this point in time in their lives. We really wanted to have a mix of that.”
A choreographic lab showcase presented by COCA alum Mason Cummings, under the guidance of Douthit-Boyd and his husband, fellow co-artistic director of dance, Antonio Douthit-Boyd, kicks off the season for a two-day event, Nov. 5-6. In addition to the lab, the kids and aspiring professionals will gain four veteran professional mentors; three from New York and one from Philadelphia.
“They’ll [the kids and professionals] have those guys as sounding boards and, Antonio and I to talk to them through the process of both their creativity and their teaching,” Douthit-Boyd said. “We’re really giving these young creatives the opportunity to come back home and continue to develop those skills.”
Cummings has been working with ballet eclectica (Classical ballet and contemporary repertoire) and COCAdance (jazz, modern and contemporary repertoire) to share a production of his choreography and document the experiences of his six-week journey at COCA.
Kaleidoscope Crown by playwright Ashleigh Akilah Rucker leads the theatre department’s (COCAWrites) season debut on Nov. 13. It narrates the story of a young girl who awakes with a surprising new skill -- every new emotion causes her hair to morph into multicolor tresses. Her transformation causes the people of her small traditional village to react negatively. Rucker’s inspiration stems from the art and traditions of the African Diaspora and puts the culture front and center.
“We are gonna kick off with a really special part of our COCAWrites program, which is dedicated to developing new works,” Jennifer Wintzer, artistic director of theatre said. “We commission a professional playwright and then our students are very much involved in the development process of that new play because one of the requirements is that the playwright really must be invested in creating characters of the age of our students.”
COCA was chosen as one of eight theatres in the country through TYAUSA (Theatre for Young Audiences) / USA / ASSITEJ (a national organization for the professional field of theatre for children and families) to workshop a new play with playwrights that have been placed throughout the country. Ashleigh Akilah Rucker from LA will be working on her play Kaledioscope Crown alongside Alicia Like, an actress who performed in COCA’s premiere of Billy Elliot! The Musical, who will direct it.
Dec. 16-19, wUNDERland, offers a hip-hop twist on the childhood favorite film Alice in Wonderland.
The performance is led under the creative direction and choreography of Anthony “Redd” Williams, hip-hop crew artistic director. The production breathes new life into the age old tale with dazzling costumes, visual effects, contemporary music and cutting-edge hip-hop choreography.
“He’s got a really great creative and artistic team, wonderful local graphic designer, and huge fashion designers that are working with him,” Douthit-Boyd said. “It's gonna be awesome music, great dance, a really creative telling of the story of Alice in Wonderland. Really excited about that in December.”
Christmas Carol, the holiday classic, isn’t included in the season’s lineup; however, COCA will partner with The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis for its annual Christmas Carol production. Hana Sharif, artistic director of The Rep will direct the production; Douthit-Boyd will choreograph it and Jennifer Wintzer will act as the youth company director for it.
The Rep has an on stage residency with COCA for two shows. The St. Louis Black Repertory Company also has a partnership with COCA. Through both efforts, the companies are able to share the stage with the community and have an educational exchange between students.
COCAWrites continues the season with a production of the musical The Butterfly Room, the story of a General Motors factory worker interested in going off to college and relocating from their factory town. Another offering, The Wolves, is a coming of age story about a high school girls soccer team conversing on subjects that affect teen girls; and next summer, the lineup includes Matilda, a musical about a young bookworm who relies on her love of reading to help escape her abusive parents.
The three student companies, COCA hip-hop crew (contemporary hip-hop repertoire), COCAdance, and ballet eclectica, will come together May 12-15 to present TRIumphant, a collaboration which includes eighteen pieces.
Students are presented with the opportunity to work with different artists from around the country. These residencies will culminate in a final show, which will provide the students with the chance to show what they’ve learned to their family and friends in the spring.
“We really look forward to that concert not only for all of the good things that are happening, but it's the opportunity for the kids to show their versatility,” Douthit-Boyd said. “They go from ballet, modern to jazz to other styles. It's a testament to their talent.”
COCA’s vocal company and COCA’s improv troupe will also hold performances as well. This will be Jennifer Wintzer’s first official year of acting as the theatre’s artistic director. Not many in person performances took place last year, so she was unable to rightfully assume authority.
“This is my year to really put my artistic stamp on our offerings,” Wintzer said. “We've really seen a great turnout with our students, the professional artists and the community who are interested in our programming.”

A few weeks ago I was asked by my friend Renee to participate in the Tour Through Blog Land series. She blogs over at The Refined Relic and we’ve become fast friends. Renee always has kind and encouraging words to say. Her home is beautiful. She continues to inspire me with her creative vignettes and styling. Renee has a heart for Christ and helping to lift others up. She’s the best.
I feel honored that she asked me to participate in this weekly series in which bloggers share a little about themselves, their homes and their blogs. You can find Renee’s tour here. Isn’t her home farmhouse fabulous?
I live on an island but it’s not fancy at all. It’s actually the best of both worlds. I can sit on my back porch with my cup of coffee, smell the salt air and hear the horns from the boats. I can sip lemonade on my front porch and hear the sounds of cows mooing in the distance. The house sits on three acres, two of which have been left undeveloped. This is partly because Ted and Trixie our resident gopher turtles live peacefully in burrows they’ve created all over the back of the property. It has also become a habitat for many species of birds. Around dusk, when the birds are heading to the marsh to find dinner, you can hear the sound of their wings flapping in unison as entire flocks cross over the house. It’s an amazing experience. It’s 75 yards from the front door to the gate and I feel so blessed every time I pull into the driveway. After five years, I feel like my style is finally defined. I know, right? It took me long enough. When I first moved out here I had a very coastal décor. There were shells and shades of sea glass everywhere. But after a few years, I decided to use those items only in the summer months when my memories of time spent on the beach with my family were at their highest. Sure, I lived on the island but I didn’t need to create a coastal cottage to make it feel like home. I’ve started room-by-room transitioning coastal elements for a more farmhouse aesthetic. I grew up in a big farm family and although we moved around a lot because my dad was in the military for 45 years, my heart is definitely on the farm. I can imagine doing dishes by hand at an apron front sink looking out to a yard full of goats, Live Oak trees, and wide-open spaces. James Taylor will probably be playing and the entire house will smell like apple pie. All of the participants in the Tour of Blog Land have been asked these questions. Here are my answers… What am I working on? I just finished updating the breakfast area this week. I added drop cloth curtains, changed out pillows and added weathered wicker chairs for extra seating. Here is a look before the change:
And with just a few updates this past week:
I updated the coffee station as well. I love waking up to the smell of a fresh pot of coffee. Don’t you? My next project will either be the living room or the kitchen. The house has a very open floor plan and all of the rooms save for the bedrooms open to each other. If I were a betting person, I would say it’s probably going to be the living room. I’m on the search for a reasonably priced kilim rug until I can decide what color to paint the kitchen walls and if subway tiles should rock the backsplash. Of course, both of those things may take a while ha ha. Why do I write/create what I do? I know what it’s like to move from city to city. I’ve lived in an apartment that was so small it didn’t have a pantry and my box of Pop Tarts graced the kitchen counters. I’ve pined for months over white kitchen cabinets and slipcovers for my brown micro suede sofa. I’ve made a thousand decorating mistakes and swore I was going to LOVE a trendy makeover only to tire of it a few short months later. I write what I do because I work on making my home a haven, room by room just like you. I have a budget just like you. I feel like if we can encourage each other through the things we love and the things we struggle with we can create inspirational spaces together. Which influences my answer to the next question, how does my work differ from others in my genera? It’s because of the experiences listed above that makes my work different. Even if I had an unlimited budget I don’t think I could let myself buy $1200 leather club chairs. I feel at my best when challenged by a thrift store budget. It forces me to come up with creative solutions that I may have not had otherwise. I feel blessed to work with so many different artists, crafters, junkers, diy-ers and small business owners. Just being around others who are so passionate about what they do makes me constantly strive to be better. I get to create vignettes in my booth at The Pickers Market and at home. I get to drive around in The Cherry Bomb visiting old barns and warehouses, estate sales and thrift stores giving old treasures new life. It’s honestly the best job in the world. How does my creative writing process work? I’m learning to be more organized with my life and that helps me to be more organized with my blog posts. Every project I’m working on be it a dresser to sell in my booth or a room makeover at home is documented and shared on the blog. I’m naturally wordy so the editing process takes me the longest with regard to my post material. I also take time to step away from the business side of things to fill my creativity bank. I’ll hang out with my family, walk on the beach, read magazines, hike my favorite trails or share a cup of coffee with a friend. I hope you enjoyed this post. I love to hear from you and read your comments and emails. They make my day. I want to introduce you to two of my other blog friends. I met Angie from The Altered Past at Haven.
She’s an early riser too so we would meet at breakfast each morning and share ideas. Angie has mad painting skills and creativity flows out of every pore.
Definitely check out this post. Kelly from Corner of Main is one talented lady. I first met her through Instagram and we began exchanging emails. She hosted the first link party I ever joined and she has been an encouragement ever since. Kelly is an eye doctor, wife and busy Mom. She’s in the middle of renovating her 1920’s kitchen. I don’t know where she finds the time for everything but she makes it look flawless. Check out her ideas here.
You won’t want to miss their Tour of Blog Land on September 1st!
Many blessings, CoCo
