Plays songs from the forest - Mark Geary
Irish singer-songwriter Mark Geary will be singing his beautifully crafted songs from his little woodland cottage in Co. Kildare. He will be taking requests for songs from his 5 studio albums as well as playing some new songs that he's still working on.
Mark has released five studio and three live albums. Interchanging between his beloved vintage Martin, Gibson, Spanish and electric guitars, Geary’s sound is stripped back. He treats his songs with trade-mark Geary honesty. His voice might be drenched in Irish honey, but his lyrics slice right through to the core revealing a life laid bare of human emotional frailty, failed relationships, tenderness, hurt, making amends, desire and parting.
Mark’s current single Spectre released in December 2020 is beautiful, dark and haunting and features deftly interwoven layers of acoustic guitars. It was written during a time of intense, unbroken reflection, surrounded by nature. Mark says: “I'm writing and singing differently to my other songs, this comes from a place of understanding and forgiveness. It’s about loss, grief, desire, ancient stuff. I’m just so immersed in the creativity of what it is that I do.”
Mark is working on songs for his next studio album, surrounded by six guitars and his more recent purchase, a piano.
Mark runs a successful fan club via Patreon. To find out more, go to:

A dramatic photograph was prominent in media reports of the centenary of the opening of the Battle of Verdun on 21 February 1916, apparently showing a French soldier caught in the moment of death. It is usually licensed from Getty images who have now altered their caption to acknowledge that it is in fact a film still from 1928.
The French film maker Léon Poirier produced a remarkable feature Verdun, visions d’histoire, shot on the old battlefields and inside the forts, using veterans wearing original uniforms and equipment.
Another famous photograph of stretcher bearers under shell fire is also from the film but Getty have yet to alter the caption.Embed from Getty Images

Hi, I'm Tamara Pulzello and I will be your guide during this trip! I will show you some villages of eastern Sicily: Palazzolo Acreide, Buccheri and Buscemi. I will show you not only some churches considered jewelers of the Sicilian Baroque, but also naturalistic areas such as that of the Iblei Mountains. Don't forget to taste some typical Sicilian dishes; I recommend the "con niuro" pasta, that is pasta seasoned with cuttlefish ink and the classic Sicilian cannoli cannot be missing. Have a nice trip! *Credits: This tour was made by Tamara Pulzello, as a multimedia tourist and storytelling project for the "Laboratory of formal technical writing (storytelling and gamification)", under the coordination of Prof. Elisa Bonacini, within the ITS 2-years COURSE "Higher Technician for the management of tourist accommodation facilities and cultural activities", 2019-2021, founded by the ITS Archimede Foundation at the CUMO Eastern Mediterranean University Consortium, in Noto (Syracuse).*
Welcome! I hope your flight was uneventful. After you have landed, rent a car and head to Palazzolo Acreide to have lunch and leave your luggage at the hotel. An exciting journey awaits you!
Welcome to Sicily. Rent a car and head directly to Dimora del Pero, in the center of Palazzolo Acreide!
After just over an hour you will arrive in [Palazzolo Acreide](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palazzolo_Acreide), one of the villages that you can admire these days.
As soon as you arrive you can enjoy typical Sicilian dishes. I recommend you to taste the spaghetti with sea urchins. Buon appetito!
After you have rested, head to the [church of San Sebastiano](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Sebastiano,_Palazzolo_Acreide) the largest church in Palazzolo.
After visiting the council church, go and see the Torre dell'Orologio in the Lenza district, one of the most characteristic areas of the village.
Another church that you cannot miss is the mother church of San Nicola. It is the oldest church in Palazzolo and is defined as "the most grandiose Norman temple with a square bell tower with ogival windows and an openwork crowning".
After a super busy day, you need a dessert! Go to the Bar Pasticceria Corsino and delight your palate with sweet Sicilian types. I recommend the Sicilian cassata or the classic ricotta cannolo.
After you have filled your stomach go to see the church of San Michele, which shows all the beauty of the eighteenth-century baroque.
Walk to the Villa Comunale. You can relax sitting on the benches or you can take a walk. Very characteristic is a part of the garden called "Viale delle Rimembranze" so called because in that place trees were planted in honor of the local war dead.
It's time for dinner! Go and eat in the Trattoria del Gallo, a fairly famous place even outside of Palazzolo. Have a good dinner!
Happy awakening traveler. During this day you will visit not only Palazzolo, but also the archaeological site of Akrai. Let's go!
The Museum of Noble Traditions has the ability to make you arouse emotions through its collections. The collections are housed in Palazzo Rizzarelli - Spadaro, a baroque building that takes its name from an ancient aristocratic family , coming from Scicli, near Ragusa, that had possessions between Giarratana, Vizzini, Francofonte and Palazzolo Acreide. During the Second World War the building was bombed and later restored. Have a good visit!
Leave Palazzolo and go to visit the Museum "I Luoghi del lavoro contadino". This is not a real museum but it is formed by eight environments that retrace the work and life of the people of the Iblei. You can visit the workshops of the blacksmith, shoemaker and carpenter, the millstone where the grapes were pressed and the oil mill. The visit continues in the "casa ro massaru", a typical home of the small landowner of the area.
Return to Palazzolo and visit the Antonino Uccello house-museum. The House Museum was created by Antonino Uccello, a passionate scholar of Sicilian popular culture. Uccello has collected and studied, for over thirty years, oral traditions, objects, work tools, artifacts of that peasant civilization that was disappearing in those years. You can see how some of the farmer's activities were carried out.
It's time for lunch! Go to the Vecchio Molino restaurant and fill your stomach and then... let's go to [Akrai](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akrai), one of the colonies of the Greek city of Syracuse!
Here we are in Akrai. The city of Akrai is the oldest of the Syracuse subcolonies. The first studies on the ancient city date back about to 1960 and essentially concerned the problem of identifying the site of the Greek city. You can visit the Akrai theater composed of the orchestra, the stage and the lower steps of the cavea, which were subsequently rebuilt up to the twelfth step. Do not miss to see the "bouleuterion", the building that housed the council of the Ancient Greek city (named *polis*) and to the south of the theater, the remains of an archaic temple probably dedicated to Aphrodite.
In the same Akrai area you must visit the Latomie dell’Intagliata, a stone quarry used by Christians and Byzantines as tombs and homes.
The day is not over yet! Take the car and head to the site of the "Santoni", a cult area dedicated to the goddess Cybele and datable to the third century B.C. This is an extraordinary place of ancient cults!
You must be very hungry. The name of the restaurant means "What there is", meaning that you will eat only fresh things! Here is a little corner of paradise. Relax and enjoy the evening and your dinner!
Welcome to Buccheri, a small village that rises in the valley between the slopes of Mount Lauro and Mount Tereo. During this day you will visit not only the most particular churches of the village but also the Iblei Mountains.
Have a hearty breakfast and leave for Buccheri. The day begins!
The day begins with a visit to the church of Santa Maria Maddalena which houses numerous treasures inside.
It is about eleven o'clock. Sit in the Montelauro bar and eat some desserts that never hurt!
After you have had your sweet break, go to the Church of Sant'Antonio Abate. It is majestic, rich, beautiful and the details to admire are so many that you don't realize how long it takes. Take your time and visit it calmly!
The Mother Church is dedicated to Sant'Ambrogio, patron saint of the city. Inside the church you can admire a painting dated 1766 depicting the Milanese saint baptizing Augustine, an artwork by Francesco Mignemi from Catania and a statue that depicts the Saint in ecclesiastical clothes in the act of blessing.
Go for lunch at the La Pineta Restaurant Pizzeria. You can taste typical Sicilian dishes or eat a pizza. Buon appetito!
The church is located at the entrance to the town. It is small but with a spectacular charm, and when you get to the top you can admire a panorama that can only be admired from there and from the Castle area.
The [Hyblaean plateau](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyblaean_Mountains), known for its deep quarries carved by the dragging action of the waters flowing in the harmonious limestone, still retains the signs of a balanced relationship between man and nature. Maybe you don't know that one of the activities that historically characterized this land was that of the collection, conservation and marketing of snow! Do you think it's strange? In fact, in this place you can see the neviere, caves or cellars where in the past, in winter, snow was collected to be used in the hot season for cooling food and drinks. Have a good walk!
This church is a twelfth century Swabian jewel unknown to most people, it lies semi-ruined and abandoned in the countryside between Lentini and Buccheri. It is a very rare example of Gothic art scattered in the middle of the fields, but really worths a visit!
It's time to have dinner. Go to Da Antonio restaurant and enjoy his incredible plates!
Here we are in Buscemi. The town is located on the southern slope of Monte Vignitti located in the central part of the Iblei Mountains and is surrounded by the historical sites of ancient Akrai, Casmene and the Necropolis of Pantalica.
You have arrived at the last stage of your journey. Enjoy these last hours before your departure!
The first stop is the mother church of the town and is preceded by a wide lava stone staircase and overlooks Corso Vittorio Emanuele.
Vai mangiare qualche dolce della zona presso il Caffè Chic prima di continuare la passeggiata!
Go to this cave carved out of stone. If you are lucky you will be able to attend some event
Before going to eat, go to the Villa comunale, sit on a bench and relax for a while.
And here we are at the last meal in Sicily. I hope you enjoyed all Sicilian delicacies. Good lunch!
Take the car and exit Buscemi. Go see the rock church of San Pietro, a Byzantine architectural jewel that was later transformed into a fortification sheepfold against the assaults of wolves.
A few kilometers away is the Requisenz Castle, the ancient bulwark of the town of Buscemi. It was built around 1355 probably by Guglielmo Ventimiglia baron of Buscemi. Later it passed to the Requisenz, lords of Pantelleria, thanks to the marriage between two members of the families.

Dates of hearing: 23.8.2012
Date of Judgment: 05.9.2012
Petitioners. Syed Muhammad Omar and others
through Mr. Ansar Hussain Zaidi advocate
Respondents Federal Ministry of Defence through its Director General, Headquarters, Civil Aviation Authority, Terminal No.1, Jinnah International Airport, Karachi and others through Mr. Farooq Rashid advocate and Mr. Dilawar Hussain Standing Counsel _
Shahid Anwar Bajwa, J: With consent of the learned counsel for parties this constitution petition was finally heard at Katcha Peshi stage and is being decided accordingly.
2. Petitioners are Diploma Holders from various technical institutions and are employed in Civil Aviation Authority. On 16.11.1974 a directive was issued by the Deputy Secretary to Government of Pakistan. In that Memorandum it was stated as under_
Subject:- DEMANDS OF THE PAKISTAN DIPLOMA ENGINEERS FEDERATION.
The undersigned is directed to say that the Pakistan Diploma Engineers Federation had placed certain demands before the Government. A Committee consisting of Federal and Provincial Government representatives was constituted to consider these demands and to make recommendations. The report of the Committee was placed before the Prime Minister and with his approval the following decision have been taken:-
(i) The Diploma Engineers should be given Grade 11 to start with (This decision has already been given effect to vide Finance Division O.M. zNo.F.1 (24)-NG-Imp. II/73-384/74, dated the 8th May, 1974).
(ii) Certain posts in Grades above 11 carrying greater responsibilities should be earmarked or created for Diploma Engineers and these should be filled on the basis of seniority-cum-fitness.
(iii) 25% of the total posts of Diploma Engineers should be placed in Grade 16. These posts should be filled on the basis of seniority-cum-fitness and subject to 10 years service and passing of the prescribed departmental examinations.
(iv) 20% of the posts in Grade 17 should be reserved for promotion of Diploma Engineers in Grade 16 on the basis of selection for which standards and criteria should be laid down by the Departments concerned.”
3. An advertisement was placed in newspaper on 23.1.2011 inviting applications from B.E (Electrical) Degree Holders for post of Electrical Engineer in the Civil Aviation Authority.
4. Learned counsel for petitioners submitted that PG-5 is equivalent to BS-11 and PG-6 is equivalent to BS-14/15. Learned counsel submitted that Directive No.(iii) and Directive No.(iv) have not yet been implemented. He referred to Section 4 of the Civil Aviation Authority Ordinance and submitted that the Memorandum dated 16.11.1964 was a Policy Directive which was binding on Civil Aviation Authority under Section 4 of the Civil Aviation Authority Ordinance 1982. Learned counsel submitted that said directive has been accepted and partly implemented by the Civil Aviation Authority. It has been stated so by the Civil Aviation Authority in its comments before the Federal Services Tribunal, the same are available at Page 83 of the petition. Learned counsel next submitted that such directive has not been implemented as far as Directive Nos.(iii) and (iv) are concerned. Learned counsel submitted that no separate seniority lists have been issued and if fresh recruitment is made it will effect their entire seniority.
5. Mr. Farooq Rashid learned counsel for Civil Aviation Authority referred to Minutes of 104th (Extra Ordinary) Meeting of Executive Committee of Civil Aviation Authority held on 19.2.1994. In the minutes the following was submitted:-
“2. She informed the Executive Committee that Diploma holders were inducted and deployed according to the requirement received by Works and Technical Divisions. Presently 320 number of Diploma Engineers are on the strength of CAA, out of which 173 are in PG-3 & 4, 92 in PG-5 & 6 and 55 in PG-7, 8 & 9. She informed that the concerned directorates particularly Director Works & Chief Engineer had recommended 173 Diploma holders working in PG-3 & 4 to be given PG-5 and they would continue discharging their existing duties even after up-gradation in PG-5.”
6. Thereafter the following was approved:-
“3. For implementation of Government decision to meet the demands of Diploma Engineers, she submitted the following proposal for the approval of the Executive Committee.
(a) The initial induction of Diploma Engineers in CAA may be made in PG-5 (equivalent to BPS-11).
(b) 173 number of Diploma Engineers working in PG-3 & 4 may be up-graded and given PG-5 from the date of approval without previous financial benefit.
(c) Seniority of already working Diploma Engineers may be from their initial date of joining according to CAA Service Regulations.
(d) Diploma Engineers may be called Sub-Engineer.
4. The Executive Committee, after detailed deliberation, gave its approval for the proposal at para-3 subject to the condition that for re-designation and up-gradation to PG-5, the Diploma Engineers should have a Certificate of Diploma from the Government recognized Technical Institution in the related field.”
7. Learned counsel referred to letter dated 6.6.1994 and in respect of his contention he submitted that directive has been implemented. Regarding equivalence with pay scale learned counsel referred to letter addressed to one of the petitioners wherein it is stated as under:
“CAA has not adopted Basic pay scales scheme. We gave our own pay Group-01 to 11 and pay scales. The policy of allowing Diploma Engineers of B-11 to Selection grade B-16 at the rate of 33% therefore, is not applicable to CAA employees.”
Learned counsel’s submission was that there is no equivalent policy.
8. Learned counsel next submitted that petition is barred by laches because petitioners have come today for implementation of circular issued in 1974. In this regard learned counsel relied upon Abdul Wahid v. Chairman, Central Board of Revenue, Islamabad (1998 SCMR 882). Learned counsel next submitted that there are no statutory rules in the Civil Aviation Authority and petition is, therefore, not maintainable. He relied upon Muhammad Nawaz v. Civil Aviation Authority and others (2011 SCMR 523), Dr. Abdul Karim Channa & others v. Civil Aviation Authority & another (SBLR 2011 Sindh 1299), Muhammad Idrees v. Agricultural Development Bank of Pakistan and others (PLD 2007 SC 681) and decision of this Court in C.P. No. 1533/2009 passed on 29.3.2012 and in W.P.No. 9346/2011 passed by a Single Bench of Lahore High Court on 29.9.2011. Mr. Dilawar Hussain learned Standing Counsel adopted arguments of Mr. Farooq Rashid.
9. While exercising his right to reply learned counsel for petitioners referred to Appendix “B” of Civil Aviation Authority Service Regulations in support of his contention that there is equivalence policy qua Basic Pay Scales of the Federal Government.
10. We have considered submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and have also gone through the record.
11. It was contended by learned counsel for respondent authority that office memorandum was issued in 1974 and petitioners have come to this Court in 2011 and, therefore, petition is barred by laches and in support of his contention he relied upon Abdul Wahab’s case (supra). The reported case arose out of judgment of Federal Services Tribunal where question of limitation was considered. Said judgment is, therefore, distinguishable. Moreover, what petitioners have come to this Court for is that since new recruitment is proposed without considering petitioners case, therefore, new recruitment, according to petitioners, has given them fresh cause of action and, therefore, they have come for implementation of Directive Nos.(iii) and (iv) because new recruitment will effect them. Therefore, objection of learned counsel is overruled.
12. Next contention of learned counsel was that there are no statutory rules in Civil Aviation Authority and, therefore, this constitution petition is not maintainable. Learned counsel relied upon case law referred to above. We need not refer to the case law because it is well settled and without any doubt that if there are no statutory rules or a provision in a statute in respect of any aspect of employment, writ petition would not be maintainable. However, present case is on somewhat different footings. Learned counsel referred to Section 4 of the Civil Aviation Authority Ordinance, 1982 which states as under:-
“4. Power of the Federal Government to issue directives.- The Federal Government may, as and when it considers necessary, issue directives to the Authority on matters of policy, and such directives shall be binding on the Authority, and if a question arises whether any matter is a matter of policy or not, the decision of the Federal Government shall be final.”
13. A perusal of the above Section indicates that power has been given to the Federal Government to give directives to the Authority on matters of policy and such directives are binding on the Authority. It has also been provided that if question arises as to whether any matter is a matter of policy or not, decision of Federal Government shall be final. Now binding effect of directives is in view of provision contained in Section 4. Therefore, if a directive is given by the Federal Government implementation of that directive will be in pursuance of provision contained in Section 4 of the Act and, therefore, writ petition for such implementation of directive shall be maintainable.
14. No doubt it is provided in Section 4 of the Act that if a question arises as to whether any particular directive is a matter of policy or not, decision of Federal Government shall be final but it may be noted that Civil Aviation Authority neither in its comments nor during oral arguments has contended that Memorandum dated February 16, 1974 is not a question of policy. Therefore contention of learned counsel regarding maintainability of this constitution petition is overruled.
15. Next contention of learned counsel was that since office memorandum dated February 16, 1974 talks of certain grades and since there is no equivalence policy in the Civil Aviation Authority, therefore, Item Nos.(iii) and (iv) of Office Memorandum dated February 16, 2994 have no applicability. Contention of leaned counsel holds no water for two reasons. Firstly, if there is no equivalent policy then how Directive No.(i) was implemented and given effect by Civil Aviation Authority. Secondly, in Civil Aviation Authority Equivalence Formula is mentioned in Appendix “B” of the Civil Aviation Authority Service Regulations in the following words:-
CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY EQUIVALENCE FORMULA
CAA PAY GROUPS
EQUIVALENT BASIC PAY SCALE
1 & 2
3 & 4
5 & 6
7, 8 & 9
10, 11, 12 & 13
14 & 15
9 OR Ex-Cadre ‘C’
10 or Ex-Cadre ‘B’
11 or Ex-Cadre ‘A’
16. Therefore, it is clear that there is equivalence policy. Item No.(iii) of the Office Memorandum requires that 25% posts of Diploma holders should be placed in (BS-16 and equivalent). Policy indicates that pay group 7 is considered as equivalent to BS-16. Item No.(v) states that 20% posts of BS-17 should be reserved for promotion of Diploma holders and equivalent policy indicates that pay group “8” is equivalent to BS-17. It is, therefore incumbent upon departmental authority to place 25% posts of Diploma holders in BS-16 (Pay Group 7) and 20% posts in BS-17 (Pay Group 8). And in order to achieve it is essential that separate seniority lists be maintained both for pay group 5 where diploma holders are initially placed and pay group 6 so that quota decided by the Prime Minister and as communicated by the Office Memorandum is observed.
17. It may also be noted that office memorandum was issued in 1974 when Civil Aviation Department was within Ministry of Defence. Therefore, this directive is binding on it. Thereafter in 1982 Civil Aviation Authority Ordinance was promulgated and an Authority was created. Therefore, even from that angle office memorandum is binding on Civil Aviation Authority.
18. Result of the above discussion is that this constitution petition is disposed of in the following terms:-
(i) A separate seniority lists shall be maintained by Civil Aviation Authority of Diploma Holders for group 5 (equivalent BS-11) and Pay Group 7 (equivalent BS-16).
(ii) Reservation laid down in Office Memorandum dated February 16, 1974 shall be strictly observed.
(iii) Till such time entire requirement of Memorandum of February 16, 1974 is complied with no further recruitment in these cadres shall take place.

Melissa's standout moment
Melissa is an outdoor instructor and enthusiast who loves spending time in nature. A keen rock climber, she loves scaling cliffs and exploring the mountains. Mel also loves walking and taking things slow, soaking in beautiful surroundings.
Melissa is based in the South West and admits she’s a little biased towards Devon and Cornwall but that won’t stop her from exploring Europe for some sunny sport climbing during the winter months. Her enthusiasm for getting outdoors, even on a rainy day, is hard to beat. Mel’s navigation skills are top notch – especially her ability to find the best cafes and bookshops everywhere she goes!
I’m biased living in the South West, I love walking the coast path and stopping in beautiful spots like Black Church Rock an amazing natural rock formation on Devon’s North Coast or the dreamy coastal villages in deepest Cornwall such as Mousehole and Sennen.

The Grand Mufti of Conference of Islamic Organizations (CIO), Sheikh Dhikrullah Shafi’i has reacted to the murder of Deborah Samuel, a student of Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto, saying government and Islamic scholars need to be more proactive with youth enlightenment on the theory and application of Islamic Studies.
Ms Samuel was burnt by irate youths in Sokoto for ‘insulting the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW)’, a crime for which a mob, mostly made up of fellow students, killed her. The horrendous event led to a great outcry, especially on social media outlets, with many Nigerians condemning the act and asking that law enforcement agents ensure that the perpetrators do not escape from the long arm of the law.
Sheikh Dhikrullah Shafi’i, while delivering a Jumat sermon at Dawah Center in Lagos, Friday, described the conduct of the rampaging students as inappropriate, unlawful and inhuman, saying the actions of the students do not in anyway represent the position of Islam.
“Islam places huge value on human soul. Islam detests acts of thuggery, violence or vandalism. It is unfortunate that we experienced that extent of rage that resulted in the eventual death of Deborah Samuel,” he said.
The cleric, who picked the of his sermon from Qur’an 5 vs 32 encouraged Muslims to embark on thorough investigation whenever such incidents occur before taking a position.
Sheikh Shafi’i, who noted that the student do not have any Islamic justification for the actions, however, said the authorities in Sokoto State should identify all the culprits in the incident and make them face the full wrath of the law.
He said, “The lynching, burning and eventual killing of Deborah is not in accordance with the laws of Islam and the laws of our nation.
“We are not in a lawless country and Islam does not in any way support extra-judicial killing especially. The ideal thing is to allow the law enforcement agency and the court of law adjudicate on the matter.
“In Islam, individuals are not allowed to take laws into their hands, just as the international laws do not allow it. The implication is that action like this it could create more chaos in the society.
“The scholars of Islam differ on the penalties for blasphemy against Prophet Muhammad. Meanwhile, nobody has the right to mete out any death penalty anybody on account of blasphemy in Nigeria, because Nigeria is not a Shari’ah nation.
“Example of a countries that can exercise such penalty are Suadi Arabia, Quwait, Sudan and it’s the government that have the single rights, not individuals or group,” he added.
Also, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Laing, has strongly condemned the killing of Deborah Samuel.
Joining many in their call for justice, the UK High Commissioner, urged the authorities to make sure legal actions are taken against those who killed Deborah.
“I condemn the murder of Deborah Samuel in Sokoto, and urge the police and relevant authorities to ensure the perpetrators of this horrific act are made to face justice in line with the law,” Ms Laing tweeted on Friday.
Her call comes a few hours after the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Mathew Kukah, condemned the killing, and called for calm, saying it had nothing to do with religion.
“We condemn this incident in the strongest terms and call on the authorities to investigate this tragedy and ensure that all the culprits are brought to book. The only obligation that is owed her immediate family, her fellow students, and the school authorities is the assurance that those who are guilty of this inhuman act, no matter their motivation, are punished according to our extant laws of the land.
“This has nothing to do with religion. Christians have lived peacefully with their Muslim neighbours here in Sokoto over the years. This matter must be treated as a criminal act and the law must take its cause,” the venerated cleric advised.

The arena-packing band, who in April will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, saw a surge in sales as it bundled its album as part of a tour, with fans who bought tickets given a code for the CD to be shipped by mail.
Bon Jovi's success marks an unusual dominance of traditional sales in a music industry where CDs are on the wane and labels are putting an ever greater focus on on-demand streaming.
"This House Is Not For Sale" sold 120,000 copies in the reporting week, tracking service Nielsen Music said late Sunday.
It edged out the soundtrack featuring rapper Kendrick Lamar to the African-themed superhero film "Black Panther," which spent the previous two weeks at number one.
"Black Panther: The Album" sold 99,000 copies or the equivalent in streaming and downloads in the latest week.


Humidifiers which cool like Air-conditioning Systems
October 27th, 2014 by Smart Fog
It is possible to obtain humidifiers which also cool the surrounding environment while adjusting humidity, causing the ambient temperature to go down by as much as 20 degrees Fahrenheit. All-in-one humidifier systems can do more than air-conditioning, by suppressing dust and creating an atmosphere which is humid enough for plants that are used to humid environments to flourish. Different models of machine are available and have different features making them suitable for specific applications, and your supplier can provide you with the machine suited to your application.

A Chinese businessman has paid $1.5 million for an 11-month-old red Tibetan mastiff, making it the most expensive dog in the world.
Yang, a coal baron from northern China, named the dog Hong Dong, which translates to "Big Splash" in English.
While that might seem like a hefty price tag for a pet, expensive dogs are seen as status symbols in China, and the breeder, Lu Liang says Hong Dong is worth every penny.
"We have spent a lot of money raising this dog, and we have the salaries of plenty of staff to pay," Liang told The Daily Mail.
The puppy already weighs 180 pounds, and Tibetan mastiffs can grow to be as big as 286 pounds. The breed's original purpose was to guard livestock in the Himalayan mountains.

In the vast and mysterious depths of the ocean, scientists have stumbled upon an extraordinary discovery that has ignited excitement among marine biologists and ocean enthusiasts worldwide. A new species of bioluminescent jellyfish has been unveiled, shedding light on the marvels that continue to be hidden in our planet's most unexplored realm. In this article, we delve into the fascinating journey of this discovery, explore the captivating world of bioluminescence, and discuss the implications of this finding on our understanding of oceanic life.
The Journey of Discovery:
The exploration began during a research expedition by a team of marine scientists, who set out on a mission to explore the remote and deep ocean regions. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and underwater cameras, the researchers were determined to unveil the secrets that lay concealed beneath the waves. As they ventured into the abyss, they encountered a breathtaking sight: a mesmerizing display of pulsating lights illuminating the darkness – a bioluminescent spectacle like no other.
The Unveiling of a New Species:
Upon further investigation and careful analysis, the researchers realized that they had stumbled upon a previously unknown species of jellyfish. The newfound species, tentatively named "Aurelia luminosa," after the Latin words for "golden light," exhibited bioluminescent properties that set it apart from all known jellyfish species. Its striking luminescence not only captivated the scientists but also emphasized the enigmatic beauty that lies deep within the ocean's fathomless expanse.
Bioluminescence, the ability of certain organisms to produce light, remains one of the most mesmerizing phenomena in the natural world. This remarkable process involves the conversion of chemical energy into light energy through a series of biochemical reactions involving luciferin, luciferase, and oxygen. In the case of "Aurelia luminosa," the exact mechanisms responsible for its bioluminescence are yet to be fully elucidated, presenting an exciting opportunity for further investigation.
The Significance of Bioluminescent Jellyfish:
The discovery of "Aurelia luminosa" holds significant implications for the field of marine biology and ecology. Bioluminescence is believed to serve various purposes in the oceanic environment. It aids in communication, camouflage, and predation, as well as attracting mates and confusing potential predators. Understanding the role of bioluminescence in jellyfish could shed light on the ecological dynamics within the deep-sea ecosystems and the fascinating adaptations that have evolved over millions of years.
Conservation and Preservation Efforts:
As the world continues to face environmental challenges, this discovery emphasizes the importance of preserving and protecting our oceans. The deep-sea regions, although remote and largely unexplored, are home to countless species yet to be discovered. With climate change and human impacts posing threats to marine ecosystems, it is essential to foster conservation efforts to safeguard these delicate and diverse environments.
The Future of Ocean Exploration:
The revelation of "Aurelia luminosa" serves as a reminder that the exploration of our oceans is an ongoing journey, full of surprises and revelations. As scientists delve deeper into the mysteries of the deep sea, they are bound to encounter more astonishing discoveries that will shape our understanding of life on Earth. Exciting advances in technology and research will undoubtedly continue to expand our knowledge of the ocean's depths, leading to new revelations that can influence scientific discoveries, conservation efforts, and our perception of the blue planet we call home.
The discovery of "Aurelia luminosa," a new species of bioluminescent jellyfish, is a testament to the enduring allure and enigmatic nature of our oceans. As scientists continue to explore and uncover the wonders of the deep sea, they add new chapters to the evolving story of life on Earth. This discovery not only showcases the stunning beauty of bioluminescence but also reminds us of the need to protect and cherish the fragile marine ecosystems that sustain life on our planet.

The National Cherry Blossom Festival kicks off on Saturday, March 18, and the National Park Service recently announced March 22 through March 25 as the estimated peak bloom dates. As always, the pink-and-white blooms will frame the nation’s monuments and line the Tidal Basin, gathering groups of picnickers, photographers, and more.
But there are other less-crowded locations across Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland where you can see cherry blossoms. Here’s where you can find cherry blossoms with more peace and quiet.
Green Spring Gardens
Green Spring Gardens welcomes visitors from across the region and show off its nine-and-a-half-acre garden, with cherry blossom trees found throughout the park, along with other budding spring flowers. Find your peace while walking over the bubbling streams and valleys, take a peek at the 18th-century plantation house and greenhouse, and be sure to let the kids explore the children’s garden. Family-friendly activities are already planned for cherry blossom season too, meaning you can plan a whole day of fun around spending time outside, packing a picnic, and letting the kids create something new related to the season. Green Spring Gardens: 4603 Green Spring Rd., Alexandria
Cherry blossoms already change much of the natural scenery across the region for the better, but if you’re in search of a true change outside of NoVA and the nation’s capital, head to Montgomery County, Maryland. The Kenwood neighborhood is home to an estimated 1,200 cherry blossom trees. They were planted in the 1930s and 1940s to attract homebuyers to the area. The area is conveniently located near downtown Bethesda and Chevy Chase. Be sure to check out the bloom watch for updates, since these groves tend to bloom a few days after Washington’s. Kenwood Golf and Country Club: 5601 River Rd., Bethesda
Meadowlark Botanical Gardens
This 95-acre park is filled with walking trails and about 100 cherry blossom trees. When you arrive, next to the visitor center there’s a paved circular trail that is lined with cherry blossoms. Take a stroll or have a seat at the entry garden and enjoy a collection of additional spring flowers. If you do take the long way around, you’ll pass Lake Caroline, where you’ll find an estimated 60 cherry blossom trees, and catch a glimpse of the Korean Bell Garden, one of the iconic pavilions in the park. Meadowlark Botanical Gardens: 9750 Meadowlark Gardens Ct., Vienna
If you drive across the Potomac River, you’ll find 200 Okame cherry trees at National Harbor. The trees are different from the blooms you might be used to (Yoshino trees). Catch the slightly darker pink blooms, and be sure to check out the calendar. Cherry-blossom- and pink-inspired events are planned, including cherry-blossomed themed painting classes, an origami class, and Sakura Sunday, where visitors can enjoy cultural performances and explore a vendor market. National Harbor: 150 National Plz., National Harbor; Sakura Sunday: April 2, 11 a.m.-6 p.m.
Making the most out of cherry blossom season doesn’t have to mean only seeing the pale pink blooms. Head to the American Horticultural Society’s headquarters at River Farm, where you will find cherry blossom trees near the entryway, followed by several acres of gardens and blooming flowers. The property is 25 acres and was once a part of George Washington’s original farmland, is home to the Manor House, the Andre Bluemel Meadow (filled with native grasses and wildflowers), and a children’s garden. Need a new family picture? Skip the Tidal Basin and head for this backdrop and serene experience instead. Open every day, except Sunday. River Farm: 7931 E. Boulevard Dr., Alexandria

The National Administrative Department of Solidarity Economy (Spanish: Departamento Administrativo Nacional de la Economía Solidaria, DanSocial) was a Colombian Executive Administrative Department in charge of directing and coordinating government policy to promote, plan, protect, strengthen, and develop the organizations of social economy in order to improve the quality of life of the Colombian people.
Famous quotes containing the words economy, national and/or department:
“Cities need old buildings so badly it is probably impossible for vigorous streets and districts to grow without them.... for really new ideas of any kindno matter how ultimately profitable or otherwise successful some of them might prove to bethere is no leeway for such chancy trial, error and experimentation in the high-overhead economy of new construction. Old ideas can sometimes use new buildings. New ideas must use old buildings.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“Perhaps our national ambition to standardize ourselves has behind it the notion that democracy means standardization. But standardization is the surest way to destroy the initiative, to benumb the creative impulse above all else essential to the vitality and growth of democratic ideals.”
—Ida M. Tarbell (18571944)
“While the focus in the landscape of Old World cities was commonly government structures, churches, or the residences of rulers, the landscape and the skyline of American cities have boasted their hotels, department stores, office buildings, apartments, and skyscrapers. In this grandeur, Americans have expressed their Booster Pride, their hopes for visitors and new settlers, and customers, for thriving commerce and industry.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

LIGHTHOUSE POINT FL DENTIST EXPLAINS HOW CALCIUM BENEFITS YOUR SMILE
Our Lighthouse Point FL dentist has little doubt you have heard of the multitude of health benefits the calcium and other vitamins and minerals that milk provide. Your smile is no exception! Read on to discover the benefits calcium can bring to strengthen your gums and teeth.
Our Lighthouse Point FL Dentist Says Dairy Fights Decay
Calcium found in dairy is an essential component for developing strong bones, and yes, your teeth are also bones! While calcium strengthens the integrity of the bone, proteins in dairy called caseins act as a protective film on the enamel. This film works to coat and protect the surface of your teeth from acid and decay. Our dentist in Lighthouse Point FL recommends a healthy, balanced diet to ensure these vitamins and minerals can help boost your oral health.
Calcium Sources Beyond Milk
If milk is not your favorite drink, there are plenty of other calcium-rich foods that you can substitute for the same calcium intake. Yogurt, cheese, and buttermilk are great examples, and all can be found in fat-free varieties. Cottage cheese, pudding, and even ice-cream are also alternatives packed with the mineral. Our Lighthouse Point dentist suggests being conscious of sugar levels if you choose a sweeter snack.
Our Lighthouse Point FL Dentist Also Recommends Dairy-Free Calcium Options
For those who are lactose intolerant or choose to refrain from dairy consumption for personal reasons, there are many other sources of calcium that do not require dairy intake.
You can find calcium-fortified versions of the following at most grocery stores:
- Rice Milk
- Almond Milk
The items above are fortified; however, you can also find calcium occurring naturally in foods like:
- Canned Fish
- Soybeans & Soy Products
- Bean Varieties
- Leafy Greens (Collards, Kale, & Bok Choy)
- Almond Milk
Calcium also works as a preventative mineral, which keeps conditions like periodontal disease from occurring. Periodontal disease results in inflamed and damaged gums. Calcium is just one of the many vitamins and minerals your teeth and gums need for optimal health. If you have any questions about your calcium intake, feel free to call our Lighthouse Point FL dental office to schedule a consultation.

What Is a Team Sport?
A team sport involves organized individuals in opposing teams, competing for a common goal. The players act in unison to achieve the shared objective. This can be done in a variety of ways. These activities foster youth development and foster team cohesion. For example, cheerleading is a team sport. However, not all team sports involve competitive sports. Whether it is cheerleading for a teammate, cheerleading for a cause, or cheerleading for oneself, it is a team sport.
Co-opetition is more prevalent in team sports
Co-opetition occurs when players of a team are faced with the choice between competing or cooperating. In this type of relationship, individuals have to decide whether they want to cooperate or compete, and must also reconcile the risks and benefits of each option. Several studies have been conducted to explore this phenomenon.
Group norms provide athletes with a sense of belonging
Group norms are a common element in team sports and are a powerful source of social influence for youth athletes. Group norms define what is considered acceptable and inappropriate behavior for members of the group. They also distinguish groups from random individuals. These norms are established by monitoring individuals’ behavior to determine whether they are socially acceptable.
Youth development is facilitated by team sports
Team sports can contribute to positive youth development. In addition to providing physical activity, team sports can also promote leadership and healthy behaviors. Several programs have been designed to improve youth development, and the inclusion of team sports in schools and communities has been found to be beneficial.
Cheerleading is a team sport
Cheerleading is a team sport that requires a lot of physical activity. It involves tumbling, jumps, and stunts. It is very competitive and a panel of judges grades each routine. Cheerleading is a team sport that requires a lot of teamwork, and you’ll get to know a lot of new people! There are a lot of benefits to cheerleading, including the chance to make lifelong friends.
Tennis is a team sport
Tennis is often viewed as an individual sport, but it actually has many aspects of team play. Teams compete against other teams that match their skills and ability, creating a sense of synergy. In addition to individual matches, tennis is also played at the professional level.
Lacrosse is a team sport
Lacrosse is a team sport where the players pass a ball between each other. It resembles soccer and football, but it has more unique elements. For example, players are allowed to run carrying the ball, while others may kick or cover the ball with their sticks. Lacrosse also has a fast pace, and players typically play on both ends of the field.
Curling is a team sport
Curling is a game where teams of two players use their feet to throw rocks down a sheet of ice. The ice sheet is approximately 15 and a half feet wide. The ice is prepared by pebbling it with water to make the ice rough and help the rocks glide more easily. The goal of the game is to have your stone land closest to the centre of the house, known as the House. Each team has 16 rocks to throw.
Handball is a team sport
Handball is a fast-paced sport in which players work together to score points. In a normal handball game, a team has seven players, including a goalkeeper. Each side of the court also has a line player located near the goal area and two wings. The remaining three players make up the backs. In major international tournaments, the teams will play two regulation halves and then an overtime period. The overtime period will consist of two halves of five minutes, with a one-minute halftime break.
Golf is a team sport
Golf is often thought of as an individual sport, but the truth is that this sport is extremely team-oriented. It’s not uncommon for golfers to compete together in team events every week.

A Kingston police officer who played a vital part in ensuring a murderer was brought to justice has himself been commended.
PCSO Dave Haywood was the travelling home at the time when he saw what he thought was a crash on London Road between Cheam and Stoneleigh.
"There were cars and a van parked on the pavement and across driveways, blocking my view, with people talking animatedly near one of the vehicles," he said.
"As I got closer, I saw that there was someone laying on the floor receiving emergency medical assistance."
His heart dropped.
Running to Aliny's side, he saw a man giving emergency life support.
"Through the downpour, I heard the 999 operator coaching him through the difficult task," PCSO Haywood added.
"I offered to takeover but he wanted to continue.
"I’ve never dealt with anything like this before and panic began to take over.
"I was the only officer there so far and had no radio, no kit. I shook off the encroaching fear and went into 'work mode', as the crippling realisation of what had happened dawned on me. The poor woman had been stabbed."
With life support being carried out, he checked on witnesses and offered any reassurance he could.
"Everything I said felt pointless as people were crying and in shock," he added.
"Her young daughter was there too and I almost broke down myself. I will always remember everyone’s face, filled by the shock at what they’d witnessed."
The ambulance soon arrived and it was at this point where he noticed a glint of silver. The murder weapon.
He grabbed a pair of gloves off the rig and secured the knife the best he could.
By the time he gave his statement he was cold, wet, muddy and dirty
"People kept asking me if I was ok," the officer added.
"I felt fine for myself which was weird. I was however in pain for the victim, her family and the witnesses."
This week the officer was commended at the South West Base Command Unit awards ceremony for his professionalism and dedication shown.
Godinho was jailed for a minimum of 27 years following a trial earlier this year.
