Americans are familiar with appetizers, and many restaurants serve chips and salsa or mozzarella sticks as part of their standard pre-meal selection. While these expected choices are fine, they lack the pizzazz and diversity of Peruvian piqueos.
At first glance, it may be tempting to think that piqueos are just a South American alternative to appetizers. However,Peruvian food is meant to be more than a meal. Instead, it is a sensory experience designed to engage your mind and body with succulent tastes, smells and textures. This experience starts with piqueos.
Unlike American appetizers, which tend to be fairly uniform, piqueos are noted for their diversity. When considering the options, it is important to first decide whether the platter will be hot or cold. Although the design and texture of the platter will always be somewhat similar, the choice of food will vary substantially based on the desired temperature of the platter. Because of this, many Peruvian restaurants will have both a hot and cold selection on the menu.
The specific options for food can vary with any piqueos platter, but many choices will reflect Peruvian cuisine on a whole. For example, it is not uncommon to see choritos or conchitas on a piqueos platter at a Peruvian restaurant. For cold varieties, cebiche and octopus are quite popular. Overall, the options often tend to feature seafood dishes, which is reflective of overall trends in Peruvian cuisine. All the choices are made with savory seasonings and delectable sauces, which are quintessential cultural elements to complete any Peruvian menu.
The hot and cold selections ensure that these appetizers are never boring. Instead, they offer eclectic nibbles that everyone at the table is sure to appreciate. To experience the best Peruvian dining in California, be sure to remember La Costanera Restaurant. The menu features a full range of classic Peruvian dishes with a contemporary flair for the ultimate dining experience.

- A new in-depth military history of the Anglo-Chinese Wars
- Written in a lively manner as if the author had witnessed events for himself
- Extensive use of primary and period sources, which present the reader with greater detail on the subject than ever before
- A large number of period images and maps, many of which have not appeared in print for over a century
During the mid-19th century, Britain and China would twice go to war over trade and opium in particular.
The Chinese had become addicted to the narcotic, a habit that British merchants were more than happy to feed from their opium poppy fields in India. When the Qing dynasty rulers attempted to supress this trade – due to the serious social and economic problems it caused – the British Government responded with force.
The first conflict, known as the First Anglo-Chinese War or First Opium War (1839-42), ended in British victory and the Treaty of Nanking. However, this treaty was heavily biased in favour of the British, and it would not be long before there was a renewal of hostilities, taking the form of what became known as the Second Anglo-Chinese War or Second Opium War (1856-60).
Again, the second conflict would end with an ‘unequal treaty’ that was heavily biased towards the victor. The Lion and the Dragon: Britain’s Opium Wars with China 1839-1860
examines the causes and ensuing military history of these tragic conflicts, as well as their bitter legacies.

Julie Thompson takes in The Crazy World of Arthur Brown at The Moorings and Fatherson at The Garage in her continuing series on the life of a pit photographer.
In the past nine days I’ve been to see and photograph three very different types of bands.
What can I say about Arthur Brown? If and when I get to 71 years of age, I hope I have the energy he does.
When I arrived at the venue, they were preparing the stage area.
There was a single chair carefully placed by the stage – not something normally left there.
The support act was Lifecycle, a three-piece band from London who were really very good. The lead singer played guitar and took live samples of his vocals and guitar, via a device attached to his guitar strap, to loop back over the song. Very interesting stuff and fascinating to watch.
Their set ended and the rush to prepare the stage for the main act began. The chair was moved to centre stage at the front, so I guessed it was to help Arthur get onstage. I was never very good at guessing, it seems.
At this point another tog*, Dod Morrison, moved forward and shortly afterwards George Mackie arrived. We all had a brief chat before resuming the wait.
Flash, The Moorings’ owner, hopped up onstage with a small cushion after everything was set. It amused me that he looked a bit embarrassed, and shoved the cushion under the keyboard before hopping back down.
Shortly afterwards, the side door opened and the band appeared. Some were robed and all were masked.
The show was about to start.
As it turned out, Arthur Brown was more than capable of getting onstage without help of a chair. However, the keyboard player was a little encumbered by a plaster cast on his left leg. The cushion, it turned out, was for his foot to rest on.
Eventually everyone was onstage and settled, the chair removed and the show began. It was a show, with some amusing, well-rehearsed elements, like the theft of a keyboard, which the keys-man continued to play with his crutch. You can see a three-photo sequence of this in the Flickr photos linked.
I was unaware at the time that there was a hidden band member, Angel Flame.
She popped out of a small room at the back, each time in a new costume. A golden-winged elemental for Fire, a Flamenco dancer, or as Temptation.
A truly excellent show; the queue to meet the band afterwards took a long time to disperse and everyone I saw was grinning. Even Flash.
Arthur Brown seems to visit Aberdeen quite frequently, so do try and catch his show next time.
I certainly will.
Three days later I found myself in The Garage photo pit for Fatherson. The Garage usually has two support acts and kicks off quite early compared to other places, as they re-open the doors at 2200 or so for the nightclub sessions. This means it’s a good venue to visit on a weeknight when you have an early start the next morning.
Both support acts were from Aberdeen, Cara Mitchell, a 17 year old who I’d caught playing in HMV a couple of weeks before, and Forest Fires, a five-piece alternative rock band formed in 2011.
Cara was first on as the place was only just starting to fill up. She seems a very confident and accomplished performer and I was pleased to be able to see her onstage at last. I got my three songs in the pit. Cara is a pretty lass and easy to shoot.
Then I got to hang out to watch and grabbed a drink.
Forest Fires are a lively bunch of lads, great fun to shoot and just as good to listen to. I enjoyed them very much and actually went online to buy their EP a few days later. I really hope to catch these guys again soon.
In the gap between Forest Fires and Fatherson, I spotted Cara Mitchell, guitar case in hand, heading through the crowd to meet up with a group of people. She passed her guitar to someone I can only assume was her mum, and gave her a big hug. Mum left but Cara stopped on to enjoy the rest of the show.
Fatherson are officially a 4 piece band from Glasgow, seet at T in the Park in 2012 was aired on BBC2.
However, on this tour there is a fifth person, Elaine Glass, playing cello and providing some vocals. They’ve been getting good reviews everywhere and I can understand why. Bouncy and energetic, the crowd loved them.
After my time in the pit, I went and hung out behind the sound desk, where I could see the band, watch the soundman dance and the lighting man have a ball with the spot controls.
All in all, it was a very good way to spend a Wednesday evening.
(*tog – short for photographer and much easier to spell.)
Next in Aberdeen Voice, Julie covers the eagerly anticipated American mathcore metal band The Dillinger Escape Plan at The Garage.

Scott Long takes a bite out of his Pittsburger at the Iron Bridge Inn.
When You Go...
Iron Bridge Inn
1438 Perry Highway
Mercer, PA 16137
Phone: (724) 748-3626
Mon - Thurs 11am - 10pm
Fri - Sat 11am - 11pm
Sun 10am - 10pm
6 Burgers ($6.99-$11.99) and a Turkey Burger
Barby Ferraro serves up some tasty Iron Bridge Inn burgers. Clockwise from left are The Western Burger, The Pittsburger and the Big Greek Burger.
By Anthony M. Fuda
A good leader leads by example, and if the Iron Bridge Inn’s burger is any indication of the Springfield Group, then they have created a formidable empire.
The Springfield Group includes Rachel's Roadhouse, The Log Cabin Inn, Hickory Bar and Grille, and three separate Springfield Grilles with locations in Mercer, Boardman, and Mars.
The Iron Bridge Inn is the charter member the Group. It was a run-down bar purchased by John McKinley and Bill Kingery in 1979. Kingery has moved on, but McKinley still owns the family friendly eatery.
The rustic decor of the Inn was evident as we were greeted by a giant moose head mounted on the wall above the hostess area. The restaurant was packed with people at every table and every bar stool.
After finding a comfortable table in the restaurant, our waitress, Barby Ferraro, energetically took our orders and readied us for a great burger evening. After finding out who we were, she was happy to tell all her co-workers she was waiting on the Burger Guys.
The burger selection consists of five half-pound burgers: The Classic (choice of cheese, mushrooms, bacon, onions, green peppers or jalapenos..just .50 each), the Pittsburger (coleslaw, hand-cut fries, provolone), The Big Greek (feta-cheese stuffed, greens, roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomato pesto), the Western Burger (house BBQ, bacon, cheddar, caramelized onion), and the Four Alarm Burger (Cajun-grilled, hot sauce, jalapenos, pepper jack cheese).
The burgers are served with lettuce, tomato and onion on a fresh baked Cellone's Roll, with your choice of hand-cut fries, coleslaw, homemade potato chips or redskin potato salad. For $1 more, you can have onion rings or sweet potato fries. All of us had the hand-cut fries and were pleased with the large portion.
If you are adventurous and have some extra compartments in your stomach you can try one of their most popular burgers - the Junk Burger. Boasting 12 ounces of beef and topped with bacon, sautéed mushrooms, Swiss, provolone and American cheeses, marinara, shaved onion, yellow pepper rings, lettuce and tomato, this burger is made for the heartiest of appetites.
We made our choices and looked around the dining room at the hunter’s trophies hanging on the walls. You know, the typical boar head, deer head and rattle snake skins you find at your mom and pop establishments.
The burgers arrived and we were down to business. We all agreed the char-grilled flavor of this burger really stood out compared to the many other burgers we have tried.
I had the Big Greek Burger and the feta cheese grilled inside the burger was something different and really good. The meat and cheese blend was very savory. Combined with the greens, roasted red peppers and sun-dried tomato pesto, this burger had just enough bite to leave you wanting more.
Scott had the Pittsburger and said, “This burger is the whole package. The topping really make this burger and everything combined together is great.”
This was not JT’s first meal at the Iron Bridge, but it was his first burger there. He said, “I've stopped at the Iron Bridge several times, but never tried their burger. I had the Western Burger and loved it, even though I'm not a fan of shredded lettuce. I'm really glad they made our hit list because it's one of the best seasoned burgers I've had.”
If you are in the Mercer, Pa area, you have to stop at the Iron Bridge and have one of these tantalizing burgers. Or after making a day of walking around the Grove City Outlets, head down the road a little and replenish yourself with a tasty burger from the Iron Bridge. Either way, your stomach will thank us.
Keep sending us all your great burger suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.org, and like the Facebook page Burgerguyz so you can keep up with all the freshest burger news.

Editorial | JDF must continue the candour
We welcome the relative candour with which the authorities, including the army itself, have spoken about last week’s alleged attempt by two soldiers to use a Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) bus to smuggle marijuana, leading to a chase and gunbattle with the police. The incident, happily, ended without death or injury.
According to Lieutenant Colonel Dameon Creary, acting colonel general staff at the army’s headquarters, four other soldiers are being investigated over the incident. The army, perhaps, is just being careful. Yet, an expanded probe may suggest that it is concerned that a drug-running cell may have existed within its ranks.
This newspaper hopes not, for it would be another chip at the reputation of one of the few institutions in which Jamaicans continue to repose a significant level of trust.
The sense of people’s view of the JDF is contained, as this newspaper has noted before, in Vanderbilt University’s 2018-19 survey on attitudes to democracy in Latin America and the Caribbean. Sixty-five per cent of Jamaicans said they would tolerate a military coup if the takeover was to suppress crime. Over 58 per cent would support a putsch to curb corruption. These were the highest level of support for a possible removal of civilian government in the 18 countries surveyed. Other surveys support those findings.
While it has slipped in recent years, the army has consistently ranked ahead of most other institutions, including the police, political parties, the Parliament and the judiciary. On a Transparency International barometer of corruption in the Americas, the JDF, on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the most corrupt, was ranked 2.4. Politicians were the outliers at 4.5. Six years ago, measuring support for institutions on a scale of 1-100, with the 100 mark representing the highest level of support, the JDF was at 63.6. Political parties were at 28.1, Parliament at 31.9, and the police 38.3.
BELIEVE IN THE JDF
The clear implication of these findings is that Jamaicans not only believe the JDF to be competent, with the ability to manage the country, but that it is clean. Happily, the leadership of the JDF has consistently declared their commitment to democracy and civilian government.
Nonetheless, they would be aware that trust cannot be indefinitely sustained on the basis of past good behaviour or because of the absence of information about misdemeanours. That, we expect, is well appreciated by the JDF’s brass. Which is why the public hopes that the seeming transparency with which the army has so far approached the St Elizabeth incident will continue and that they will be as forthcoming with other issues.
The matter of the missing guns from Up Park Camp, the JDF’s headquarters, is a case in point. One Saturday evening in February, it dribbled out, and was subsequently confirmed by the army that movements at the base were restricted because guns, apparently two high-powered rifles, were discovered missing during an inventory. In June, the chief of defence staff, Lieutenant General Rocky Meade, disclosed in a radio interview that two soldiers would soon face disciplinary hearings on the matter.
However, who these soldiers were, their ranks, the charges they faced, or the type of hearing to which they would be subjected was not disclosed. However, at last week’s press briefing on the drug-smuggling matter, at which he highlighted the role of the JDF’s internal systems in thwarting the plot, Lieutenant Colonel Creary, responding to a reporter’s question, revealed that three soldiers had been “recently” discharged in the case of the missing weapons. Nothing further was offered.
We appreciate the military code of justice employed by the JDF, but we are also aware of the difference between the administrative and judicial resolution of issues, depending on where on the scale of wrongs the offences fall. The loss of high-powered weapons could be a matter of negligence, which is bad. It would be worse, and criminal, if they were stolen. That latter would be expected to lead to a court martial. Either way, the public has a reasonable expectation to be informed.
This, of course, is not the only issue about which the JDF has not been transparent. Its stalling with information over Keith Clarke’s killing by soldiers at his home in 2010, ostensibly during a search for the fugitive hard case, Christopher Coke, is a case in point. So, too, was its prevarications over the use of mortars in Tivoli Gardens during a related operation to flush out Coke’s militia.
Jamaicans take pride in the JDF and its image as a professionally run institution. This breeze of transparency is welcome. It will, hopefully, continue to blow, starting with more details about the missing rifles.

A series of transitions for the 2011 Architectural Visual Studies CAD Show reel at Columbia University. All animation was done in Maya, and all rendering was out of Mental Ray.
The CAD Show is a collection of all the work for the architecture visual studies courses at GSAPP from the fall semester. As the Teaching Assistant for a Maya class, I wanted to practice my craft by doing some short animations which exploited different features within Maya. This compilation is the result of my efforts.

TRANS é uma espécie de arqueologia visual e manifesto sobre a era pela qual passamos. É um ensaio que investiga o tema da fluidez na era da dúvida. É uma celebração de ser aquilo que é num momento em que ainda tentamos categorizar o que ainda está surgindo e se manifestando.

Independent digital media agency, Switch Digital, has launched a new advertising buying network targeting Connected TV and Broadcast Video on Demand (BVOD) audiences across all streaming digital channels and YouTube.
The platform gives TV advertisers, and their agencies, the ability to plan and implement TV buying strategies in as little as 48 hours across all devices. Engage TV provides targeting against demographic, purchase intent, lifestyle and socio-economic filters. The delivery of TV advertising can also be targeted down to a single postcode.
The platform also has the following market-first features:
· Advertising is delivered to the right audiences, at the right time across networks, programs and devices
· Advertisers are only charged for completed views – not skipped or incomplete views
· Delivery and performance is optimized across all major TV networks, including YouTube
· Campaign performance, including completed views, cost by network and device, is reported daily
· There are no lock-in contracts
· Campaigns can be optimized, adjusted or paused at any time.
“Television viewership continues to fragment with more channels and more ways to view TV. EngageTV captures that fragmentation in TV audiences and counters wastage,“ says Switch Digital CEO, Lee Stephens (main photo).
In addition to its own clients, Switch is providing the service to a number of agencies as a way for independent agencies to provide better TV buying and reporting that sets them apart from international groups.
More than 50 per cent of Australian homes now own a Smart TV with 85 per cent of Australians watching broadcast TV weekly and already a quarter watching BVOD across all devices. (source: ThinkTV).
BVOD TV advertising revenues grew almost 40 per cent in 2019 while linear TV revenues fell seven per cent. “BVOD TV advertising is already 12 per cent of TV advertising by value and PWC predicts BVOD TV advertising will show compound annual growth of nearly 30 per cent over the next five years while linear TV will fall one per cent a year,” Stephens said.
Advertisers already benefiting from Engage TV are franchise groups and other distributed networks who need a more targeted and faster way to reach audiences across their marketing areas. “We are seeing significant inquiry from the Automotive, Franchise, Tourism and Retail sectors as they seek to deliver all media, not just TV, in a more targeted manner,” Stephens added.
EngageTV also has significant custom audience capabilities. Through the platform advertisers can build segments based on their own first party data, multiple layers of third-party data definable by interest, past purchases or by household type.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Memphis man is behind bars after police say he pointed a gun at an off-duty Shelby County Sheriff’s deputy during a road rage incident last week.
Police say James Maples is responsible for pulling a gun out on the deputy in Whitehaven on June 28 just before 9 a.m.
According to police, the deputy was blocking lanes after being involved in an accident at Millbranch and Winchester in front of the New Horizon apartments.
Maples pulled up behind the deputy’s car and began honking his horn. The man then exited his vehicle and pointed a handgun at the deputy, stating he needs to ‘get off of the road,’ police say.
Once the deputy advised Maples that he was with the Sheriff’s Department, police said the man returned to his car and fled the scene.
The deputy was able to write down Maples’s tag number.
Maples was charged with aggravated assault and is expected to appear in court Wednesday.
His bond was set at $10,000.

Derwin Gray changed his weekend plans.
The offensive tackle from Washington (D.C.) Friendship visited Maryland for its game Saturday instead of watching West Virginia beat James Madison 42-12 at FedEx Field in Landover, Md. The Terrapins lost to Connecticut 24-21.
“I think Maryland played a good game yesterday, they just came up short,” the four-star offensive tackle said. “UConn has a good team this year. Maryland made a good comeback. They just came up a little short. Maryland just wanted it more.”
Gray committed to Maryland in June. There are plenty of ties there since so many local prospects have committed. Gray cited freshman Stefon Diggs' performance as a positive for the Terps. The former standout from Olney (Md.) Good Counsel was Maryland's leading receiver with three receptions for 57 yards and a touchdown.
Those ties, however, might not be enough to secure Gray's signature on national signing day. He said he plans to take official visits, possibly to Florida State, Florida, Auburn, Tennessee, Nebraska and West Virginia.
“I'm still 100 percent committed but I'm still going to make my final officials to make sure,” Gray said.
Since Friendship plays some games far from home, timing might be an issue. Therefore, Gray might have to take some or all of his official visits after the season. Friendship plays at Chicago (Ill.) Leo on Sept. 22. The school also plays in West Virginia, New York and New Jersey twice.
Gray said he and four-star linebacker linebacker Yannick Ngakoue still plan to attend the same school. The two committed to Maryland together.
“Yeah, we're pretty sure,” Gray said when asked of the package deal.
The two will likely have that option. They have a similar list of scholarship offers.

I WORK WITH COUPLES
IMPROVE YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THERAPY
Couples therapy can be a fantastic addition to any relationship – whether a couple is looking to strengthen an existing bond, improve intimacy or repair a marriage or partnership that is experiencing difficulties. In this type of counseling, the connection between two individuals is explored. It can lead to tremendous growth and intimacy improvements as well as a deepening of individual’s sense of self. Whether two people are in a committed relationship or already wed, this form of therapy can be extremely beneficial.
Going into a session involves looking at the relationship as a whole. With this being said, behaviors, perceptions, and attitudes of each will also often be considered and worked with to promote greater harmony within the relationship.
Conflict resolution is one of the goals of couples counseling. All relationships experience conflict at different points – marriages and partnerships alike. Conflict can be used to facilitate growth when there is healthy and open communication between both individuals. In couples therapy, I work to facilitate a setting of safety and honesty to help both people grow closer together.
Healthy, happy partnerships can benefit from the increased closeness and understanding that it often provides. It is also very helpful when a couple is struggling.
COUPLES MAY SEEK THERAPY FOR...
• Infidelity, Unfaithfulness or Cheating
• Anxiety In & Out of the Home
• Unrealistic Expectations of One Another
• Depression of One or Both Partners
• Sexual Dysfunction or Lack of Passion
Effective Counseling Techniques
The sooner a couple seeks help for any of these issues, and the better the chances are that they will be able to work together towards a good solution. Choosing to go this route often leads to healthier and longer lasting marriages because any issues that may have been overlooked inside of the relationship can be addressed and worked on in a safe and solution focused environment. Some religious denominations strongly encourage and even require this to be married in the church.
The Gottman Method
This technique focuses on helping couples to incorporate the nine components of healthy relationships. There is an emphasis on improving communication skills, learning to rely on one another and becoming supportive of each other’s goals. By becoming better friends and handling conflict in new, productive ways, a couple can get closer together. Communication is a huge part of all forms of relationship therapy, and better communication has been shown to lead to longer and happier marriages.
A great way for couples to move closer together is through working toward enhancing intimacy within the relationship. Intimacy does not just refer to sexual relations, though. Friendship, partnership and loving companionship are all equally important in allowing both individuals to feel connected and in sync with one another. Using different exercises to promote closeness, couples learn to connect better within the relationship. This is beneficial even if there are no significant problems currently being experienced.
Self-sabotaging and resentful behaviors can take root over time in relationships. Often these hurtful behaviors become extremely ingrained in how individuals act within a relationship. By looking at the behavior patterns without judgment, both members of a partnership have the ability to start to redirect their energy and learn more healthy ways to interact. This can often help to repair even the most damaged relationships.
Looking at the whole relationship
Since there are so many different aspects of a relationship to work towards, relationship therapy has to be treated holistically. Learning how to avoid unhealthy battles for power, address conflict head-on and reach a place of good resolution after a disagreement is crucial to building and strengthening a relationship. Marital unhappiness can stem from many different areas, but research has shown that one of the biggest contributors is the lack of good conflict resolution. Accomplishing this can be done to a great part by addressing communication skills and helping both partners to see the emotions that one another feel.
While it would be ideal for both partners to be equally motivated going into relationship therapy, this is not always the case. I work to help both individuals and the union as a whole to develop realistic and achievable goals that can be used to guide the progress of the emotional work within sessions. Taking ownership, learning that consider the emotional needs of the partner and working together for a more harmonious union are all pieces of the puzzle. When or if a conflict does arise during the session, we use proven therapeutic techniques to resolve, process and explore in a safe and productive setting.

The Democratic National Convention kicked off August 17 making the case to elect Joe Biden as the next President of The U.S. and Kamala Harris as his VP.
Hosted by actress Eva Longoria, the virtual convention’s first night included emotional speeches from the likes of Michelle Obama, Senator Bernie Sanders, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, Ohio’s former Republican Governor John Kasich, as well as buzzed about performances by Stephen Stills, Billy Porter, Leon Bridges and Maggie Rogers.
On the second night, Tracee Ellis Ross took over hosting duties in a line-up which included speaker President Bill Clinton, a closer look into the love story between Joe Biden and his wife Dr. Jill Biden and the official roll call and democratic nomination.
The third night was hosted by Kerry Washington, featured addresses by Senator Elizabeth Warren, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama and performances by Billie Elish and Jennifer Hudson.
And while politics and style may rarely go hand-in-hand, the event has brought some great unexpected fashion moments.
From the former First Lady’s “V-O-T-E” necklace to The Desperate Housewives star’s chic LWD, scroll through the gallery below to see some of the best fashions of the DNC below.
The actress turned activist hosted the first night of the convention wearing a Salvatore Ferragamo cream-colored sleeveless sheath dress featuring a high-neck cut and ruched wrap skirt detail. She completed her look with a pair of nude ankle-strap stilettos and diamond earrings.
The former First Lady stole the show as she closed out DNC’s first night with emotional speech and gave an impassioned plea for a return to "empathy"
"If we have any hope of ending this chaos, we have got to vote for Joe Biden like our lives depend on it," said President Barack Obama’s wife. "Right now, kids in this country are seeing what happens when we stop requiring empathy of one another. They're looking around wondering if we've been lying to them this whole time about who we are and what we truly value."
Viewers also couldn’t help but notice she styled her bronze silk shirt from female-founded independent brand Nanushka with a thin gold chain necklace that spelled out "V-O-T-E.” The piece comes from the custom collection of ByChari, an independent, Black-owned, female-led jewelry business founded by Chari Cuthbert, who also created Obama’s large hoop earrings. The brand allows buyers to spell out a name or other word on the necklace but after her speech, the company quickly added the specific VOTE necklace to its website, priced at $295.
With her acoustic guitar in tow, the folk-pop star gave an opening-night performance of a stripped-down version of her song ‘Back in My Body.’ Shot on a rocky coast with waves crashing in the background, the video was interspersed with photos of frontline workers, families and neighbors coming together during the pandemic. For her big moment, the 26-year-old wore an boho-inspired all-white ensemble, which included a light and airy long bell-sleeve top, midi-length skirt and flat white sneakers.
In a pop-art inspired performance video, Stephen Stills and the Pose actor teamed up for a cover of the classic Buffalo Springfield song, 'For What It’s Worth.’ The fashion forward Tony Award winner wore a dramatic white puff-sleeved shirt, black trousers, a long black waistcoat featuring a bustle back and high ruffled collar, styled with black high-heeled boots.
The Governor of Michigan stood at a podium and gave her speech while wearing a bright red shirt paired with a navy leather blazer.
The Governor of New York kept his look classic wearing a well-tailored suit, crisp white shirt and bright, sky-blue tie. As no surprise, the democratic hue was a popular choice on the DNC’s first night. Senator Doug Jones of Alabama, Representative Cedric Richmond of Louisiana and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont all wore blue ties as they endorsed Joe Biden. Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota also wore a true blue jacket.

The Black-ish star hosted the second night of the convention wearing a modern maroon colored draped dress with contrasting black panels by Proenza Schouler styled with statement layered hoop earrings and patent black pumps. She wore her naturally curly hair slicked back in a tight bun and kept her makeup simple.
Dr. Jill Biden
The former Second Lady delivered the keynote address on night two of the convention. As she touched on her teaching career and the love story between her and Joe, she embodied classic American style wearing a gorgeous green blazer dress with gold button detail and A-line skirt by designer Brandon Maxwell.
The Little Fires Everywhere star hosted the third night of the wearing a black and white pinstripe pantsuit by Alexandre Vauthier. She kept her naturally curly hair half back and accessorized with hoop earrings.
She opened the night with a powerful message of voting and diversity.
“When our constitution was written, women couldn’t vote,” she said. “Black people were considered three-fifths of a human being, but therein lies the work. No one is perfect. Nothing is. But it is the striving towards justice, equality, and truth that distinguishes us. We fight for a more perfect union because we are fighting for the soul of this country and for the fight of our lives.”
The Oakland native looked like she meant business when officially accepted her nomination for Vice President wearing a deep purple power suit with a flattering wide-leg pant. She styled her big moment look with her signature multi-strand pearl necklace and matching earrings.
Harris is the first Black woman and first South Asian American woman to be a VP nominee on a major-party ticket.
“I accept your nomination for vice president of the United States of America. I do so committed to the values my mother taught me, to the word that teaches me to walk by faith and not by sight,” she said in her speech. “And to a vision passed on through generations of Americans, one that Joe Biden shares, a vision of our nation as a beloved community, where all are welcome.”
The Speaker Of The House ripped into President Trump wearing a white-on-white floral jacquard sheath dress featuring small red rose details on each one of her short sleeves.
Back in February, Madame Speaker organized for the women of Congress to wear white during the 2020 State of the Union address to commemorate the 100th anniversary of women first having the right to vote.
The Dreamgirls star closed out night three of the 2020 DNC with a moving rendition of "A Change Is Gonna Come." Accompanied by two pianists and a saxophonist, Hudson belted out the Sam Cooke song while wearing a neon peach pleated Grecian evening gown by Elie Saab featuring a braided halter neckline. Style completed the look with bold flower statement earrings and funky hairstyle.
The 2020 Democratic National Convention was scheduled to be held August 17–20 at the Wisconsin Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin but due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the event was moved entirely online.
The actress totally channeled her Veep character Selina Meyer as she moderated the fourth and final night of the DNC. While taking comedic jabs at the president, she donned a chic white boatneck dress featuring three quarter length sleeves, sharp pleated-detailed skirt and black waist belt. She pulled her dark hair back in a tight bun with a center part and added delicate drop earrings.

Federal regulators are expected to slap Wells Fargo with a $1 billion fine as early as Friday for overcharging customers for auto insurance and home loans.
The penalty by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency represents the largest fine to date for the San Francisco bank, and comes less than two years after Wells was rocked by its phony-accounts scandal.
In September 2016, Wells paid $190 million in fines and restitution for opening as many as 2.1 million accounts without customers' knowledge or consent. An additional 1.4 million unauthorized accounts were later discovered.
The size of the penalty may not put Wells' past bad behavior to rest and could result in even more political pressure on the bank, analysts have said.
It likely puts additional stress on Wells CEO Tim Sloan, who rose through the ranks at Wells and succeeded John Stumpf, who was forced to resign as a result of the cross-selling scandal. Some critics argue that Sloan represents the same internal culture at Wells that caused so many scandals, and that the bank needs new blood.
Even as Wells was struggling with its bogus-accounts scandal, regulators further alleged it was overcharging nearly 1 million auto loan borrowers for insurance they did not need, pushing a quarter of them into delinquency. Roughly 20,000 customers had their vehicles wrongfully repossessed, including some military service members who were on active duty.
Wells also allegedly made unauthorized charges to mortgage borrowers who were in bankruptcy, putting them at risk of default and foreclosure.
Last fall, Wells announced plans to provide refunds to all mortgage customers who wrongly paid for rate-lock extensions between September 2013 and February 2017.
A Wells spokesman declined to comment.
Though large, the penalty is not a surprise. Reuters first reported last week that the CFPB and OCC were contemplating a fine as large as $1 billion, and Wells confirmed last week that its regulators had proposed a 10-digit penalty.
Wells is not yet out of the woods. The bank’s wealth management unit is reportedly under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice.
In addition, the bank is conducting internal reviews in connection with its foreign exchange business, its wealth management business and identity theft protection products that were subject to a 2015 consent order with the OCC.

Pilgrims pair too hot for Charlton to handle
by IAN GIBB
Last updated at 23:49 23 October 2007
A home win would have seen Charlton go second, but Argyle's strikers proved to be the difference.
The visitors made the perfect start when Ebanks-Blake converted a David Norris centre.
Charlton were level by the 11th minute when Danny Mills rifled a powerful shot from the left, and though keeper Luke McCormick turned the ball on to the post it rebounded against him and in to the net.
After a couple of dangerous challenges by players on either side, it was Plymouth that calmed down quicker, and Hayles squeezed the ball in for the deciding goal in the 38th minute.

Bennett College president out; search for replacement begins immediately
Bennett College President Phyllis Dawkins is no longer with the institution as of Friday, the school announced.
The all-female, historically black college in Greensboro faced uncertainty this year when it learned it was facing the loss of its accreditation through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges due to financial instability.
“We thank Dr. Dawkins for her time and contribution to Bennett College, especially her leadership during challenging times and her dedication to the Bennett community,” said Dr. Gladys Robinson, chairwoman of the Bennett College board of trustees and North Carolina state senator. “We look forward to securing new leadership that will take the college to the next level.”
In the interim, Bennett College will be led by a transition team headed by Gwendolyn O’Neal, an alumna, who has been named interim president effective immediately.
The college said it will immediately commence a search for a permanent president and expects to name one by the start of the academic year.
Previously, O’Neal led the International Textiles and Apparel Association Commission on Accreditation and served as a professor and head of the Department of Consumer, Apparel and Retail Studies at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
O’Neal served as an associate professor at Bennett College after receiving her master’s degree in education from the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, and her doctorate from Ohio State University.
Bennett College continues to be accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and the college said it is seeking additional accreditation by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools, a national educational accreditation agency.

Fixing The Break
The Monster Mash was coming soon and Sally had nothing to wear. What is the Monster Mash you say? It's the best party to ever take place in Halloween Town! It happens every year, a few days after Halloween, and it's the only time monsters from other dimensions are allowed into Halloween Town. It also ends with a wonderful dance. The dance, Sally hadn't been to the dance since, since the breakup. She sighed as she tried making a new dress for the dance. She glanced at it, "No," she said and took it out and threw it on the fabric pile that kept getting larger. She was about to give up and just not go, when a knock came at her door.
"Sally, you have a visitor." said Dr. Fink. The door opened to reveal a devil standing near the shadows.
"Seph!" Sally yelled and went to hug her.
Seph hugged back, "It's great to see you Sally. How are things?" She flicked her tail signaling for Fink to close the door.
"All right." he said and went away.
"So, are you going to the dance?" Seph asked glancing at the pile of half made dresses. "Looks like you're pretty busy." She flew over and picked up the one on top.
"I've been thinking about, and I decided that I probably shouldn't." the rag doll said and sat down on her bed.
"Let me guess." the devil said floating over her "Jack?" She visibly saw Sally stiffen. "Sal, you have to get over this break-"
"But it was meant to be!" Sally yelled jumping up.
"You didn't let me finish." Seph said holding up her paw "Or, we could make him see how wrong he was."
"What?" Seph got a dangerous, devious look in her eyes.
"I could help you make a dress that will make Jack realize he never should've broken your heart."
Sally tilted her head, "You can sew? And I mean actually sew, I don't mean you can use your magic." Seph nodded. "Oh, okay sorry. Well I guess you could help. But what about your dress?"
"I already made it." Seph said dismissing it with her claw.
"You made it?"
"Yes, let me show you." she was about to snap her fingers, but Sally stopped her.
"No that's quite alright." she was scared it was going to be something so chaotic she couldn't stand it.
"Oh, okay. Then lets get started." She swooped down and grabbed a bunch of half made dresses. "What are your measurements."
Then they got started. Seph made her sewing machine appear, as well as her supplies designed for her appendages. She took Sally's measurements and started a sketch. She showed it to Sally and she approved of it. They chose colors and accessories. When the time came for the Monster Mash Seph went home to change and they were to meet at the dance.
The day was fantastic, there were many old and new faces. Jersey Devil was there with his family. The Chubracabra was gorging himself at the buffet as usual. There was even a Flying Purple People Eater. Sally saw Seph's parents, but she didn't see the devil in question. While everyone waited for the sun to set and the dance to begin Sally could see some monsters getting last minute dance partners.
When the sun did set Sally saw Jack. Jack made his little speech on how Halloween was and how we could improve it, then the first song of the night played and everyone danced with their respective partners.
Jack was enjoying his self, sitting near the back with a cup of blood punch. Not real blood but a pretty good substitute. He scanned the crowd of monsters not really looking for anyone in particular, but he stopped when he saw a patch of red hair talking to someone with a gray tail. The monster with the tail was Seph, but he couldn't see who the other one was.
"Oh come on Sally." Seph said over the crowd. "He is right over there. Go over and confront him." She pointed in Jack's direction.
"Firstly, I will not confront him." Sally said "Secondly, that is a wonderful dress."
Seph's dress was gray from the waist up and brown from the waist down. She had a black belt that had orange swirly patterns on it. The dress also had white patterns below the waist and a low back line for her wings. It was sleeveless and came with red flats. The dress itself hugged onto Seph's figure and loosened up at her legs so she could walk. She had on a necklace that had a picture of yin and yang hanging from it. "Thanks, your dress turned out great too. But at least let him see you."
"Fine, but your coming with me." and the rag doll grabbed Seph's wrist and dragged her to the edge of the crowd where Jack was a few meters away. They began to slowly dance, but then began jumping when a bass song came on.
"I'm going to get a drink, you want anything?" Sally shook her head and kept dance/jumping. Seph laughed and walked over to the buffet, where she saw the after math of Chubracabra. She shook her head and grabbed herself a cup of punch, then she heard her name and turned to see Jack. "Oh hello Jack"
"Who is that you came with?" he glanced over but he couldn't turn back to Seph.
"Like you can't tell." she said ruefully. She turned around, leaned against the table, and took a sip of her drink. He just kept staring at Sally. Seph really wanted to take her drink and pour it all over his big, empty skull. "That," she said pointing towards Sally, "is Sally."
Jack did a double take, that was Sally? He couldn't believe it, she looked beautiful. He tried to look away, but he couldn't and that dress definitely wasn't helping. It was a midnight blue dress with silver swirls along her bodice. It fit her figure so perfectly, she had a figure! It went down to her knees and twirled when ever she spun. Her hair was down in a beautiful braid that had strange orange flowers, and he swore they looked exactly like pumpkins. Her makeup was done expertly and she wore amazing jewelry. She had a necklace that had a pumpkin carved out of lapis lazuli, black earrings that had orange swirls that were hypnotic, and white flats.
"You could go talk to her." Seph said interrupting his thoughts, he forgot she was there.
"I don't know." Just then a slow song began to play and everyone paired up.
A young werewolf came up to Seph and asked to dance. She agreed and looked back a Jack before she was whisked away "Talk to her"
Jack got up and began walking towards Sally, who had just turned down a dance with Harry. She was going to sit down and wasn't paying attention to anything, or anybody. Just as she was about to turn around when she ran into the chest of a certain skeleton. "Jack" she squeaked and he smiled.
"Yes, Sally." he purred. "Care to dance?" he held out his hand.
She slowly took it, and when she did he pulled her closer. She hugged him and they began their dance.
When the song was over, Jack ended the dance with a dip. They were about to kiss when they heard clapping. They looked around and saw that every monster was watching them. Sally blushed and Jack pulled her up. Sally then decided she might as well play with him, the night was still young. When he pulled her up she used that momentum to kiss his cheek. Then while he was stunned she sauntered away, swaying her hips. He smirked and walked after her, then he picked her up bridal style and carried her home.
All the while, the one who started the clapping, Seph was sitting with Bane, the young werewolf, and said to him "Love is beautiful, no?" he agreed and laughed.

Vincent Squire has announced his candidacy for the 2018 Township Committee election after an overwhelming defeat in the 2017 election. He has also announced that he is founding The Pennsauken Progressive Republican Party with his running mate Ken Steinberg and unsuccessful 2017 Pennsauken Board of Education candidate Nhuan Van.
Let’s first look at the Pennsauken Progressive Republican Party. Mr. Squire and Mr. Steinberg, realizing they have no chance to gain the endorsement of the Pennsauken Republican Club, are circumventing the local Republicans to get their names on the ballot. Mr. Squire and Mr. Steinberg expressed their interest in being endorsed by the Pennsauken Republican Club but before the vetting process could even begin began to criticize the Pennsauken Republicans, calling them “Betsy-cans” then founded their own club.
It is with good reason that local Republicans do not support Mr. Squire. Mr. Squire has been caught in many lies believing that his deceit will win the votes of those who take him at his word. Let’s start with Mr. Squire’s criminal record.
Mr. Squire has an arrest record that goes back to 2004 (that we can find). His convictions include three charges of Theft by Deception and one count of Burglary. Mr. Squire was sentenced on these charges in 2007 and 2008. He served time in prison beginning in 2007 and was released in 2012. Many in Pennsauken were willing to accept Mr. Squire’s explanation that he had turned his life around until the lies started. Positively Pennsauken has video of Mr. Squire telling two very different stories relating to his convictions. In one version Mr. Squire says his convictions were related to a business deal gone bad. In another version Mr. Squire says his convictions were related to a personal relationship gone bad. After giving multiple versions of the story Mr. Squire refused to confirm either version. Mr. Squire does not seem to understand that before we vote for a candidate who is going to have shared fiscal responsibility for our township’s finances we must know the circumstances surrounding theft by deception convictions.
Information from Mugshots.com
Mr. Squire refuses to answer questions or even discuss his professional qualifications to hold office. His LinkedIn profile reflects that he is President & CEO of The Squires Group. A web search shows The Squires Group is an ERP and IT Consulting firm in Annapolis, MD. His LinkedIn profile also reflects that he is President & CEO of Squire Holdings in Vineland, NJ. His Facebook profile shows him as President and CEO of Squire Holdings in Philadelphia. A web search finds no such company. What is Squire Holdings? Why will Mr. squire not tell us? Does this company exist? How does Mr. Squire expect the voters to support a candidate who will not discuss his professional qualifications?
Last summer Mr. Squire was arrested and charged with Second Degree Felony Aggravated Assault. Given Mr. Squire’s prior criminal record voters asked how Mr. Squire expected to serve out a term on Township Committee if he was sentenced to a long prison sentence. He refused to answer the question.
Mr. Squire talks about his grandiose ideas and plans for Pennsauken in his videos. There is just one problem. Mr. Squire has not researched the issues and his plans are not based in reality. Case in point. In the following video Mr. Squire talks about moving Amazon to Petty’s Island. Mr. Squire seems unaware that a conservation easement was granted to the New Jersey Natural Lands Trust due to a pair of bald eagles that make their home on the island. Pennsauken Township was previously in talks with Developer Cherokee to bring a $1 billion mix-use development to the island that would have included 700 dwellings, retail, a hotel and a golf course. In 2004 those plans were halted when the bald eagles were spotted on the island. In 2009 the land was handed over to the New Jersey Land Trust with an easement. Did Mr. Squire not do so much as a Google search before trying to convince voters he’d develop the island?
Mr. Squire also talks about developing Pennsauken’s waterfront. He tells voters that Pennsauken can increase the amount of police officers and lower taxes through waterfront development. Mr. Squire talks of using the waterfront land for a community park, a community center, fishing pier, restaurants condominiums and a supermarket. There is only one problem. Pennsauken does not own the land along the riverfront and as far as anyone knows the owners of the land are not interested in selling the land to the Township for development. Again Mr. Squire tries to influence voters through ideas that will never become reality.
Is Mr. Squire the right man to serve the people of Pennsuken?
Mr. Squire was invited to an interview with Positively Pennauken and responded much as he did in 2017 when I asked. To date we still have not been granted an interview.
On Sat, Feb 3, 2018 at 2:08 PM, Mike Astringer
As you may be aware I have recently started the online news blog Positively Pennsauken. Positively Pennsauken will report on the organizations, events and people that make Pennsauken great. We’ll also cover Township Committee, Board of Education and the political happenings in our town. As we committed when we founded our Facebook page our reporting of Pennsauken issues will be completely fair and balanced. We welcome all sides to share their views.
Two significant events have surfaced in the past couple of weeks that we are interested in covering. First of course is your announcement that you will again run for Pennsauken Township Committee. The second is your accouchement that you are starting another Republican Club the “Pennsauken Progressive Republicans”. I am interested in conducting a video interview with you. Please let me know if you are willing to conduct an interview with Positively Pennsauken and we can schedule a date, time and location.
Thank you for your consideration.

BeStar offers a range of Vehicle Horns, including electric horns that have found acceptance on a variety of vehicle applications. Various configurations are available. BeStar ISO/TS16949 certification provides the required standard for all kinds of automotive industry needs.
Vehicle horns are usually electric horns, driven by a flat circular steel diaphragm with an electromagnet acting upon it; attached to a contactor that repeatedly interrupts the current to the electromagnet. This arrangement works like a buzzer or electric bell. A spiral exponential horn shape called the “snail” is cast into the body of the horn, to better match the acoustical impedance of the diaphragm with open air, and thus more effectively transfer the sound energy. Sound levels are approximately 107-109 decibels, and current draw 5-6 amperes.
Vehicle Horns may be used singly, or arranged in pairs to produce a chord consisting of two notes, sounded together; although this only increases the sound output by 3 decibels, the use of two differing frequencies is more perceptible than the use of two horns of identical frequency, particularly in an environment with a high ambient noise level. Typical frequencies of a pair of horns of this design are 500 and 405–420 Hz.
An alternative design for electric horns abandons the horn ducting and relies on a larger flat diaphragm to reach the required sound level. Sound Pressure Levels are approximately 109-112 decibels, and current draw 2.5-5 amperes. These electric horns can be either single, or arranged in pairs; typical frequencies for a pair are 420-440 and 340–370 Hz.
Be sure to take a look at our BeStar Automotive Signaling Device Catalog under the Resources Tab to see an expanded listing of vehicle horns and available acoustic products for automotive applications.
BeStar Electronics also manufacturers back up alarms, loudspeakers and buzzers.


American indie pop duo JR JR (formerly known as Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.) like to stick around the United States for their shows, but their music knows no boundaries of distance, and is becoming known, appreciated, and loved by fans worldwide.
Below is a track off their last album released last September. I chose The Middle because the fun synthpop sound was irresistible. It was as if The Beatles were revived, collaborated with OK Go and added more synth sounds. Knowing that JR JR used to create their art working out of a basement studio should offer any aspiring artist with the motivation and inspiration needed to get started, regardless of limitations.

Michael catches up with Racer’s Chris Medland and Box of Neutrals old mate Abhishek Takle to talk about the race that never was.
The 2020 Formula One Australian Grand Prix has been cancelled.
McLaren has withdrawn from the Formula One Australian Grand Prix after a team member tested positive for COVID-19, plunging the season-opening round into doubt. The member of staff self-isolated on Wednesday after reporting coronavirus symptoms, and the team announced late on Thursday night that tests had confirmed they are infected with the virus. “McLaren Racing …
I preview the upcoming Australian and Bahrain grands prix with last year’s podcast guests Rob James from Box of Neutrals and Peter Anderson from theredline.com.au.
Featuring Lawrence Barretto and Edd Straw. The Australian Grand Prix is set to battle through pestilence and toilet paper shortages, but do we have any chance of having a real championship battle?
Just as Silverstone is the only real destination for the British Grand Prix, so too is Melbourne the only viable home for Formula One in Australia.
We’re joined by F1.com senior writer Lawrence Barretto and journalist Abhishek Takle to dissect the Valtteri Bottas win than no-one except Michael (by accident) predicted. Rob finds some money on the ground. Peter McGinley takes an early holiday ahead of his second home race in Bahrain.
Okay, it’s far too early to definitively declare Valtteri Bottas as a serious threat to the runaway championship train that is Lewis Hamilton, but you’ve got to admit that a sporting story beginning with several nights of heavy Scandinavian drinking has a certain appeal.

This photograph is arguably one of the most recognizable self-portraits ever uploaded in our Community!
This self-portrait by adi_totp, with its striking details and clarity, makes all other camera selfies look bad! Taken using a Lubitel 166+ loaded with Fuji Fujichrome MS 100/1000 Professional [RMS], the perfect overlapping of the city view and his self-portrait created a remarkable and unforgettable double exposure.
This very photograph clearly showed the ingenuity of film photography that it landed as the cover page of LomoMag's maiden issue!
The Glastonbury Festival is arguably one of the most anticipated and renowned music festivals in the world. It is a joy to be able to watch it, and a privilege to capture scenes on and off stage. Apart from creating beautiful portraits, the Petzval Lens is great for adding an albeit subtle drama to the already spectacular scenes of music festivals. Japanese photographer Taio Konishi photographed this year's Glastonbury with a Petzval 85mm Lens, and here are some of the photos. He also talks about his Petzval-meets-Glastonbury experience in this exclusive.

Camo is one of the most popular fashion photographers from Colombia. His works have been published in many fashion magazines around the country, and last year he was in charge of shooting Colombia Moda, one of the biggest annual fashion shows in Latin America. But Camo has a very personal series of photos that were shot at his home in Bogotá.
Most of the community's activities and discussions center on photographs. All throughout 2015, we were treated to hundreds of thousands of wonderful images. We'd like to thank everyone who graciously uploaded and shared their snapshots with the community! These dedicated lomographers, however, deserve special recognition for setting these skyrocketing numbers. Meet our top photo uploaders of 2015.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the publication of one of the most influential photography books ever, "Ballet" by the photographer, art director, and graphic designer Alexey Brodovitch. Brodovitch took a series of photos of classical dance in a very unconventional way, using very slow exposure times, trying to catch the true essence of Russian ballets. For this article, I took a series of photos at the Swing Crash Festival in my city, Como, held in June 2015.
The Lomo LC-Wide creates an irresistible, saturated range of colors which is the perfect pairing for all you portrait connoisseurs out there. And with its brilliant 17mm Ultra Wide Angle Lens, you can get in on the action too! We loved how these proud portraits (and self-portraits) from our Online Community showed off the charming characteristics of the LC-Wide!
Colombia is one of the most vibrant countries in Latin America. In the last years the country went from being one of the most dangerous in the region to one of the most interesting places to visit. One of the jewels of Colombia is a hotels in its capital, the Hotel de la Opera.
Lomographers are the lifeline of this community, their words and photographs bridging gaps and differences and opening entirely new worlds to their fellow lomographers. In this recap, we handpicked 10 of the most memorable articles from this year's archive penned by no less than our community members.
This article is dedicated to one of the finest British sport photographers, Monte Fresco. In his 30 years of reportage for the Daily Mirror, he took some of the most iconic photographs in sporting history. He covered football, tennis, and boxing. But it is his ice skating pictures that I am most fascinated with. Using my own lens, I give him a modern tribute.

A teenager suspects his new neighbour is a vampire. Unable to convince anyone, he tries to enlist the help of a self-proclaimed vampire hunter and magician in this remake of the 1985 comedy-horror classic.
January 29, 2017 by Andres Gomez
Quite a decent teen horror movie. Maybe it lacks some jokes and the story, as always, is quite stereotypical, but the formula works well.
Yelchin, Farrel, Tennant and Poots make a good team.

A Saskatoon family well-known for its philanthropy has created an endowment fund to help six charitable organizations.
The $6 million in grants from Les and Irene Dubé will help the organizations sustain programs into the future, starting in 2021.
The Dubés have donated millions of dollars to charities over the years.
“We’re trying to be good stewards,” Irene Dubé said in a release Monday.
“We’d like to leave the world a little better than when we came in.”
The Dubés established six endowed funds of $1 million each, funded 50 per cent now and 50 per cent in the future through life insurance.
Saskatoon Community Foundation CEO Carm Michalenko said she was honoured to work with the Dubés to create the Dubé Endowed Funds.
“Les describes how philanthropy feeds the soul,” she said.
“Through their estate planning, they are wisely using life insurance to plan their legacy for their giving priorities. We are inspired by their mission to help others and create a community where everyone feels they belong.”
One of the beneficiaries of the endowment is the Canadian Red Cross in Saskatchewan.

The organization said the funding will help provide emergency support, food and shelter for 72 hours after an event like a fire or flood, allowing families to begin the recovery process from a traumatic event.
“In Saskatchewan alone last year, we had over 200 families that were impacted by disasters,” said Kim MacLean, who works in emergency management for the Red Cross in Saskatchewan.
“These families have a number of children impacted. Over 25 per cent of the 200 families had children under the age of 12.”
The five other organizations benefitting from the endowment are the Lighthouse, the Canadian Mental Health Association of Saskatoon (CMHA Saskatoon), Sherbrooke Community Centre, Hope for Malawi, and Food for the Hungry Canada.
The funds will help those organizations as follows:
Establishes a source of permanent financial support for the operations, serving some of Saskatoon’s most vulnerable community members experiencing extreme poverty, chronic homelessness, mental illness and substance abuse.
Canadian Mental Health Association of Saskatoon
Enables the association to assist caregivers as they care for family members experiencing mental illness.
Sherbrooke Community Centre

As more and more homeowners focus on safety and longevity in their gas piping applications, corrugated stainless steel gas pipe is fast becoming a go-to choice. Offering a wide range of sizes, styles, and grades to choose from, this type of pipe carries with it the distinct advantages of durability, corrosion-resistance, and long-term reliability. To ensure you get the most out of this effective and valuable pipe system, here’s everything you need to know about its installation and maintenance.
Delving into the Characteristics of Corrugated Stainless Steel Gas Pipe
Constructed out of strong, stainless steel, corrugated gas pipe is often used in environments that require the transportation and safe delivery of pressurized natural gas. Its curvaceous profile improves performance by providing additional resistance to pressure, heat, and vibrations, while simultaneously reducing the chances of fracturing during installation or even during a quake. This makes it an excellent choice across numerous industries.
Boundless Benefits of Corrugated Stainless Steel Gas Piping
Corrugated stainless steel gas pipe is the optimal choice for many gas piping projects, offering an array of advantages. Thanks to its incredible durability and corrosion-resistant qualities, it can withstand temperatures and weather conditions that would be harmful to other materials. Additionally, its lightness and straightforward installation make it an attractive option for homeowners and business owners alike who are searching for a reliable, inexpensive gas piping solution.
The curved design of the pipe works wonders in areas where there is minimal space. Its malleability enhances the convenience of laying it in corners or tight crevices, a task that would otherwise be difficult with other types of piping.
When searching for a material that can withstand natural elements such as water, sunlight, and saltwater, stainless steel is highly recommended. It shows great resilience to damage caused by humid conditions or perpetual exposure to wetness, making it an ideal option for moist environments.
Installing Corrugated Stainless Steel Gas Pipes
To ensure the safe and proper installation of corrugated stainless steel gas pipe, it is essential to pay close attention to the manufacturer’s instructions. This will guarantee that all safety requirements are met.
Estimating the area where the pipe is going to be located paves the way for ascertaining the ideal size and length of pipe for purchase. Once the measurements are ready, it’s time to cut the pipe down to just the right length.
Ahead of setting in place, the pipe must be totally outfitted. This entails brushing the pipe with a wire brush, plus coating the joints inside and out with a sealant for a secure fitment.
After it’s prepared, cut to the right size and every detail is checked, the ready-made pipe must be hooked up to the gas supply line. This is done by fastening the pipe to the gas supply line with a specially designed connector that must ensure a secure connection and have its seals attached correctly.
Once the conduit is associated with the natural gas assistance line, confirm it is securely sealed by employing a pressure measuring device or a precisely-calibrated detecter to find any outflows.
Ensuring the Continued Strength and Performance of Corrugated Stainless Steel Gas Pipe
To guarantee its efficiency and lifespan, corrugated stainless steel gas pipe must be maintained meticulously. Regular examinations are necessary to detect any sign of rust, cracks, or impairment. As soon as these are identified, the pertinent steps should be promptly taken to restore the pipe.
Checking for loose or damaged connectors on the piping is an essential step. If any are found, they should be either secured or replaced in order to ensure a proper fit.
Regular evaluation of the exhaust from the gas line is needed to guarantee it corresponds with the required intensity for the tubing.
When considering the ideal piping solution for gas applications, look no further than corrugated stainless steel pipe. This hard-wearing and resistant material is easy to install, lightweight and malleable, and is perfectly suited for tricky areas. To make sure this beneficial pipe remains in optimal condition, it is essential to observe some proper maintenance guidelines.
The use of corrugated stainless steel gas pipe is on the rise globally in both residential and commercial gas piping systems. Its advantages over traditional rigid pipe are clear– increased flexibility, extended longevity, and heightened safety. We’ll discuss the basics of this kind of piping in more detail and explore its many uses here.
Corrugated stainless steel gas pipe offers a highly durable connection for residential and commercial gas systems, and is characterized by its strength, corrosion-resistance, and leak-resistant pressure. Comprised of multiple layers of stainless steel, it is often used as a replacement for rigid piping to provide a secure connection between two points.
In comparison to the structural rigidity of traditional piping, corrugated stainless steel gas pipe boasts a range of advantages. Its malleable nature enables it to weave around tight curves and contours, making installation a much simpler process. Furthermore, its rigidity helps prevent unexpected fractures and snaps due to pressure, thus prolonging its lifespan. Lastly, its corrosion-resistant nature makes it the ideal selection for gas systems; it remains impervious to rusting and deteriorating over time.
Corrugated stainless steel gas pipes provide an effective solution for extensive industrial applications due to their resistance to corrosion. This makes them a viable option in higher pressure and temperature environments, such residential systems, businesses, and power plants. Rusting and corrosion are not an issue with this material, as its ability to stand up to consistent wear and tear guarantees reliability and longevity.
The installation of corrugated stainless steel gas pipe requires careful attention to ensure a firm seal and prevent dangerous gas leaks from occurring. To guarantee secure connections when attaching other components, the correct fittings must be used. This is essential for the long-term safety of those using the system.
With its strong corrosion-resistant quality and impressive flexibility, corrugated stainless steel gas pipe is a fantastic option for both residential and commercial gas piping systems. Its non-complex installation process coupled with its secure connections offer up a surefire route to safe and reliable gas connections. And, with a long life span, ensure that your gas system remains operational for many years to come. Ultimately, if you are in search of a dependable pipe for your gas systems, then corrugated stainless steel gas pipe should be at the top of your list.

The Latest: Trump tweets 'Wow!' after Supreme Court ruling
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the Supreme Court ruling upholding President Donald Trump's travel ban (all times local):
President Donald Trump is tweeting "Wow!" after the Supreme Court upheld his travel ban from several mostly Muslim countries.
Trump tweeted Tuesday: "SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS TRUMP TRAVEL BAN. Wow!"
The court rejected a challenge that the ban discriminated against Muslims or exceeded Trump's authority. The 5-4 decision is the court's first substantive ruling on a Trump administration policy.
Roberts wrote that presidents have substantial power to regulate immigration. He also rejected the challengers' claim of anti-Muslim bias.
The Supreme Court has upheld President Donald Trump's ban on travel from several mostly Muslim countries, rejecting a challenge that it discriminated against Muslims or exceeded his authority.
The 5-4 decision Tuesday is the court's first substantive ruling on a Trump administration policy.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, joined by his four conservative colleagues.
Roberts wrote that presidents have substantial power to regulate immigration.
The court may have signaled its eventual approval in December, when the justices allowed the policy to take full effect even as the court fight continued and lower courts had ruled it out of bounds
