Tell me a little bit about your piece Shereen.
They say that the mind is like water. When it’s turbulent, it is difficult to see, but when it’s calm everything becomes clear. Sometimes the turbulence leads one down a very dark path at the end of which they believe, is the point of no return. So why do people end up going down the dark path? The reasons are aplenty, but in my experience the most common one is low self-esteem. We may not be aware of it, but our self-esteem influences our daily life – the choices we make, the way we behave in new situations, how we appear to other people and the way we interact with those around us.
When does this low self-esteem start?
It starts from our childhood – the way we were treated by our parents, our siblings, our teachers, our friends and our extended family members. The way we were treated as children echoes well into our adulthood. An event or a series of events that happened in the past could lead to one having low self-esteem.
Can you explain what is self-esteem?
Self-esteem reflects the overall emotional evaluation of yourself. It may be totally positive, or positive with some doubt; it may be partly negative or totally negative. When it is totally negative, the dangers of going down the dark path seem facile.
From your experience what drives people to that dark path?
In my experience there are a few reasons that are common among the people who reach the brink of suicide:
And again, from your experience, what sort of people have you come across that have considered suicide, and why?
The Buddha said; “The mind is everything. What you think you become.”
Just as healthy food and exercise is important to maintain a healthy body, thinking positive and consciously nurturing positivity is important for a healthy mind. The value one attribute’s to oneself can make a big difference.
How does self-esteem affect someone, and how can it be improved?
Your self-esteem, or how you value yourself as a person, affects your mind, body and relationships. Now, because positive self-esteem is both a cause and a result of healthy living, you can take steps to improve your self-esteem just as you can learn to change unhealthy habits. Remember though that change takes time and is an ongoing process. During the initial days your self-esteem can go up or down, so it may help to keep a daily journal to track your progress. With practice, you will start recognizing negative thought habits and its adverse effects. However, self-esteem should not to be confused with self-respect; the two concepts may seem similar but the differences between them are crucial. Self-esteem is based on what you think, while self-respect is based on what you do. Self-respect requires you to accept how others feel about you. Self-esteem values your feelings about yourself. Developing a strong sense of self-respect can help you fulfil your potential, while developing positive self-esteem can help improve the quality of your life.
And this stems from childhood?
Yes, the successes and failures we experienced early in our lives often shape our attitudes towards achievement. Remember learning to skip or to hula-hoop or to cycle or to swim? You may have experienced many failed attempts before experiencing the joy of succeeding in doing it well. Do you remember your first stage performance? Were you speechless with stage-fright or confidently performing your part? Did you forget the lines midway and wish that the earth would open up and swallow you? Depending on whether you persevered till you succeeded or ran away, can almost accurately indicate how you would handle a tough job interview, pitch for a project, make a presentation at work, handle a heartbreak or negotiate life’s many ups and downs, in your later years. A child who is loved, supported and encouraged will develop a healthy self-esteem. On the contrary if a child is constantly ridiculed or abused will suffer terribly from low self-esteem and may risk growing up to be a dangerous and destructive human being.
How important is it to have good self-esteem?
It is essential to have a healthy and positive self-esteem as it leads to being self-confident... and being self-confident is hugely important because it affects every aspect of our lives. Many people struggle to find self-confidence in themselves and this can end up being a vicious circle for them, because if self-confidence is their shortcoming, then they will find it difficult to become successful. Even from a health and well-being perspective having positive self-esteem is desirable, because when you feel good about yourself:
So right now who you believe you are is who you are, because nothing is more important than how you feel and think about yourself. Sadly, in today’s society not many people love themselves for who they are or what they do, because subconsciously they are comparing themselves to others.
Can you learn self-esteem and self-confidence?
Fortunately, yes, one can learn to become self-confident and actually change the way your life is lived. If you are a confident person you will inspire confidence in those around you and gaining the confidence of those around you is key to finding success. The changes that you could make are often tiny as compared to the enormous positivity it can bring to your life.
How can you do this?
And remember it is okay to make mistakes and be less than perfect. Just try and be the best version of yourself!

Wondering how to aim a recurve bow? You came to the right place. By the time you finish here, you will have a good understanding of how to aim with a recurve bow, with a sight, or without one.
And a few mistakes with aiming you should avoid.
So take a few minutes to read this and go out and practice as much as you can.
So, how do you aim a recurve bow? Here is the quick version:
With both of your eyes open you imagine a line connecting the tip of your arrow to just above the desired target, then you release the bowstring.
To put it into a few more words.
You aim with the recurve bow by pointing it towards the target and by focusing both of your eyes on the target, not your arrow. It is best to point your bow and arrow toward the target. While it’s pointed towards the target you focus your eyes on the target and you imagine a line connecting your arrow with the target. When the imaginary line is aligned with the center of the target or just above it you release the bowstring.
So what are some aiming mistakes you should avoid? We will get to those mistakes in a moment. For now, let’s cover the basics in a little more detail.
How Do You Aim A Recurve Bow?
Now we will look at how to aim a recurve bow with no sight and later how to aim correctly with a sight. Even with a sight, there are some procedures to follow to ensure tight groupings.
As with almost everything in archery the aiming of the recurve bow rests on the proper form of the archer.
Let’s break this down step by step.
Step 1: Stand On The Shooting Line
Stand on the shooting line. If you are right-handed that would mean your left shoulder and the left side of your left foot is pointing toward the target. Or putting it simply, you are perpendicular to the target.
Step 2: Get Into The Correct Posture
Get into the correct posture. This means a straight-back, relaxed posture with your head turned towards the target. Your left hand is holding the bow on the ground while your right arm is free and loose.
Step 3: Nock The Arrow
Take the arrow out of your quiver and nock it to the bowstring, while the front end of the arrow goes on the rest on the left side of your bow.
Step 4: Grip The Bowstring With Your Fingers
With your right hand, place your right index finger above the nocked arrow and your middle and ring fingers below the arrow. You will be using the Mediterranean draw. It’s the one you were most likely taught. If you want to check how to use the thumb draw then click here for detailed step-by-step instructions on how to use the thumb draw.
Step 5: Raise The Bow
While the three fingers of your right hand are gripping the bowstring, you raise the bow with your left hand and you extend your left arm (your bow arm) fully.
Step 6: Draw The Bowstring To Your Anchor Point
With your left arm fully extended and holding the bow, you pull the bowstring back with your three fingers from your right hand. You draw the bow right up to your anchor point. It can be just below your neck or right next to the corner of your mouth. If you wish, step 6 can be done simultaneously as step 5.
The main thing is, that your anchor point is always the same! This will ensure tight groupings and will aid in your accuracy.
Step 7: Aim And Release
Now you aim. Both of your eyes are focused on the target in front of you. You see the arrow with your peripheral vision and you mentally project a straight line from your arrow to the center of the target. And when the imaginary line connects your arrow to the center of the target … You release.
That’s it. The 7 steps on how to aim a recurve bow without a sight.
An important thing to keep in mind!
The One Thing You Should Keep In Mind While Aiming
Its distance. Obviously, as the arrow moves from the bow to the target it tends to lose altitude due to gravity. Meaning the longer the distance the more the arrow “sinks” during flight.
So, how do you compensate for that? You aim a little higher. On shorter distances up to 30 yards, the loss of altitude is negligible. But if you are shooting at larger distances up to 70 meters you will need to compensate for that by aiming a little higher.
How high? I would love to give you an exact equation like for every meter of distance you aim a millimeter higher but no such thing applies.
It comes down to trial and error when it comes to how high you aim. Assuming no winds you should quickly find out how much higher to aim after a few rounds of shooting simply by observing where your arrows land.
And you adjust if needed based on where your arrows have landed.
How To Aim A Recurve Bow Using A Sight
You can aim a recurve bow with a sight in two ways. The first way is active where you are trying to align the center of your sight with the center of the target. The second way is passive, where you are trying to align the shape of your sight with the shape of the target.
Here is how it looks.
In the active case, the focus is on the center of the target so everything else sort of blurs out. The other, passive way means the focus is on the shape of the target meaning the center blurs out.
So which one is better? In my opinion, both have their merits, it’s up to you to figure out which one is better for you by observing your result while firing actively or passively.
Mistakes To Avoid While Aiming With A Recurve Bow
Having One Eye Closed
This tends to be common among beginners. And it’s aiming with one eye. I would advise you against doing that. I see no benefit in doing that and it can only harm you, not benefit you.
One thing to keep in mind. The professionals in the Olympics, for example, shoot with both of their eyes open.
If it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me.
Having Sloppy Form
In archery, form comes first. So everything flows from that. So make sure your posture is correct and you have the same anchor point. If you miss something as basic as that your aim will suffer.
This is also a newbie move. It’s when an archer disregards the standard shooting procedure and raises his bow with the arrow knocked and tries aligning the arrow with the target and only then does he draw the bow.
The purpose here is to increase the accuracy. Which does not happen. When you align the bow with that target and only then do you draw the bowstring it becomes harder to keep the bow aligned with the target.
Avoid doing that and focus on the correct form. meaning you raise the bow and draw it at the same time and then you align it.
It’s easier that way.
What If Your Arrows Fly To The Right When Shooting With A Recurve Bow?
If your arrows are shooting to the right when firing with a recurve bow there are 2 common causes for that.
- Your arrows. Either they are too stiff. Consult your local archery shop with the matter and see if they can recommend arrows with a more suitable spine. Or, the vanes on your arrows are hitting the bow upon release, which alters the trajectory of the arrow.
- Your form. Meaning upon release your fingers dont release the bowstring correctly, thus making the bowstring oscillate left to right too much which in turn transfers that movement to the arrow which in turn affects its flight.
If you continually have this problem, check your arrows and your form. It’s most likely the arrow or your form.
Aiming a recurve bow is generally easy to do as you practice. Follow the simple steps outlined here and with enough practice, you will be shooting tighter and tighter groupings and hitting some bullseye along the way.

It has been 259 days since there was live music in Melbourne. Back on Friday the 13th of March, in what seems like forever ago, Kingswood performed at The Corner Hotel as part of their ‘Juveniles Tour’, and had joked about it being the last rock gig before the end of the world. They weren’t exactly wrong.
After that night, things began to change due to Covid restrictions and we haven’t had live music in Melbourne since. This all changed recently on Friday the 27th of November, where Kingswood decided to bookend themselves, returning to The Corner Hotel as part of ‘The Reveries Tour’. It is either that, or the band really have been sitting on stage the whole time (jokingly stated by Kingswood), waiting and biting their time with pub chips, until they could perform live again.
Kingswood’s ‘The Reveries Tour’, titled after their reimagined 4th studio album released in October, is a stripped back recreated version of their 3rd studio album ‘Juveniles’, which was released earlier in March. As such, it is no surprise that ‘The Reveries Tour’ would continue that stripped back theme with an intimate and laid-back show.
For the show, the venue is adorned with fairy lights all over the ceiling and on the stage, along with two screens on either side projecting a black and white short film created by Kingswood member Fergus Linacre. The short film displays a Woody Allen-like throwback to the band’s European 2018 tour (accompanied along with the tunes of Ella Fitzgerald), and help to create an intimate romantic setting at The Corner Hotel. At the same time, the pre-show short film ironically projects what life once was before the world changed.
Although we can’t have a crowded gig any time soon, what we can have instead are tables that can be booked in seats of 2, 4 and 6, which is great because you no longer have to rush to get to the venue on time to make sure you get a good spot. You are guaranteed a table regardless and the tables are spaced out in a way that is Covid safe for all. Instead of standing all night, you get to chill at your table with drinks, while artists are reunited with fans and get to do what they love again. And despite this being a way that we may need to enjoy live music for the time being, the environment perfectly set the mood of Kingswood’s tour, and I personally quite enjoyed the unique intimate atmosphere.
In case you were worried that the show would make you want to get up and dance when you’re meant to be seated, fear not. Kingswood have their seats as well, with chilled-out vibes, cowboy hats (except Braiden Michetti in a fedora) and are ready to relax and play for you, while making you feel like you’ve travelled to an American country barn without ever needing to leave your seat. You also don’t have to worry about getting up to buy merchandise, as ‘merch menus’ are provided to your table, and you only have to tick a box to decide on which Kingswood merchandise you want to purchase.
It has been 259 days not only for us music lovers who have yearned to see live music again, but it’s been 259 days for Kingswood as well. So, a little of forgotten lyrics here and there and some long-winded funny stories of past times are both forgivable and delightful with how raw and personal Kingswood are.
Kingswood’s ‘Reveries Tour’ is quite special, as fans get to hear their favourite songs reimagined, both from Kingswood’s recent releases this year and from their vibrant discography. ‘Snakepit’ is played in a slow romantic way and is newly titled, ‘Tell Me You Love Me’. In relation to this song, the band shared a proud story of a fan contacting them to have an acoustic version created, so that they can dance to Kingswood at their wedding.
‘Say You Remember’ initially a dynamitic Queen-inspired guitar-licking rock song, has transformed into ‘Remember’, an emotionally reflective and lyrically powerful raw love song. These are only some examples of Kingswood’s transformed tracks, some old tunes even reworked to fit the mood and theme of the show, giving new life and meaning to their existing songs, and all translating beautifully to the live stage. Alex Laska even shared his excitement that he had “waited so long to do this with a live band”, which was teasingly met with a fan heckling for him to “get on with it then”.
On the night, there were also two beautiful covers that Kingswood performed; Fergus Linacre performed a stunning rendition of Neil Young’s ‘Harvest Moon’, and the song ‘Wolf’, originally by Swedish folk duo First Aid Kit, was soothingly performed with lead guest vocals by a very talented Stephanie Greenwood.
While the typical Kingswood gig will always contain playful bickering both between the band members themselves and with the crowd, every show is different and you never know what Kingswood are going to do next, whether it be mixing their setlist up to rearrange the order of the songs they play every night, or even an impromptu unrehearsed song simply just because ‘Alex feels like it’. Whatever they do, they always manage to pull it of flawlessly and make their performances feel so natural, enjoyable and effortless.
A highlight off the night would be when the rest of the band leave both Alex Laska and Fergus Linacre alone to perform the song ‘Infinite Tenderness’, otherwise known by its rock title, ‘Cigarettes In Bed’. The song is my favourite track on the ‘Reveries’ album and honestly, it sounds even better live. Both Laska and Linacre harmonise together beautifully, but especially in the song ‘If Only’ or alternately titled ‘Two Hearts’. The band also performed an incredible rendition of ‘Ohio’, which was easily a crowd favourite met with a joyful applause.
If there is one show that you must attend before 2020 is over for good, it has to be one of Kingswood’s gig’s this year as part of their 5 day, 10-show residency (with two shows a day; an early show and a late show) at The Corner Hotel. Not only is it a relaxing and wholesome experience to see Kingswood equally as chuffed to see you, as you are to see them, but who knows when we will have the opportunity to see this great Melbourne rock band in an intimate setting like this again. And if you’re clever enough with your planning, you may even be able to arrange your day where you can see Kingswood support themselves.
Kingswood are playing 10 shows in Melbourne at The Corner Hotel from Friday the 27th of November until Tuesday the 1st of December.
For tickets, visit: https://cornerhotel.com/gigs if you are able to book ahead. Otherwise, limited seats are available at the door.

Not all Batmobiles are made equal and this principle surely applies to the Bat car listed for sale on the German version of eBay.
The pictures of the DIY Batmobile more or less speak for themselves with the seller adding that a "very extravagant and futuristic artist and designer" built the strange looking contraption, and that it has won "several trophies at events".
We are not told what car the Batmobile is based on, though, looking at the cropped photos of the interior, our guess would be a late 1970s or early 1980s, European market Ford Granada sedan (a predecessor to the Scorpio).
Batman's dark ride measures around 7 meters (!) or 276 inches long and 2 meters or 78.7 inches wide and is powered not by an atomic blaster, but by a V6 petrol engine, which the seller states, "sounds like a V16" as he removed the rear silencer.
There's also a small bike that adorns the rear section of the car.
Perhaps the most amazing thing about the German Batmobile is the starting auction price, which will probably make you shout, holly smokes: €30,000 or about US$38,900.


In a landmark shift within the world of professional sports, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has recently revised its approach to cannabis, removing it from its list of prohibited substances.
This decision, a significant departure from traditional sports regulations, marks a new era in the organization’s drug policy. It reflects a nuanced understanding of the evolving role of cannabis in society and its potential implications in the realm of competitive sports.
The move is not just a nod to changing legal landscapes and cultural attitudes but also an acknowledgment of the growing body of scientific research advocating the therapeutic benefits of cannabis, especially in high-impact sports like mixed martial arts.
This article delves into the multifaceted reasons behind the UFC’s progressive step, its implications for athletes, and the potential ripple effect in the broader sports community.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s recent decision to remove cannabis from its banned substances list marks a significant shift in the organization’s approach to drug policy, one that mirrors broader societal and cultural changes.
This evolution stems from several interconnected reasons.
Reasons Behind UFC’s Progressive Move
Firstly, there’s been a notable shift in cultural attitudes towards cannabis, largely influenced by its legalization for medicinal and recreational purposes in numerous regions.
This change in public perception is pushing organizations like the UFC to reassess their stance, aligning their policies more closely with contemporary societal norms.
Alongside this cultural shift, there’s been a growing body of medical research highlighting the therapeutic benefits of cannabis. Particularly relevant in a high-impact sport like mixed martial arts, cannabis has been recognized for its ability to alleviate chronic pain, reduce inflammation, and aid in recovery. These therapeutic properties make cannabis a potentially valuable resource for athletes’ health and well-being.
Another critical factor in the UFC’s decision is the understanding that cannabis does not enhance an athlete’s physical performance in the same way traditional performance-enhancing drugs do. This realization has led to a re-examination of its inclusion on the banned substances list, acknowledging that it does not offer a competitive edge akin to steroids or other performance enhancers.
Athlete advocacy and mental health considerations have also played a significant role in this policy change. Many athletes have publicly supported the use of cannabis, citing its benefits in managing stress, anxiety, and the mental challenges of professional competition. In response, the UFC is adjusting its policies to better support the overall well-being of its athletes.
Furthermore, the UFC’s decision aligns with changing anti-doping policies globally. Organizations like the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) have relaxed their stance on cannabis, reflecting a more lenient approach to its use in sports. The UFC’s policy shift is in step with these broader changes within the global sports community.
Lastly, feedback from medical professionals has been instrumental in informing the UFC’s decision. Sports physicians and medical experts have emphasized the importance of distinguishing between substances that genuinely enhance performance and those used for recovery and therapeutic purposes.
In summary, the UFC’s removal of cannabis from its list of banned substances reflects a combination of evolving legal frameworks, cultural attitudes, medical research, and global trends in sports. This decision not only acknowledges the complex role of cannabis in professional sports but also sets a progressive precedent that could influence other sports organizations to reconsider their policies regarding cannabis use.
Congratulations to Dricus du Plessis - The new UFC Middleweight Champion and first ever South African to hold a UFC belt!


When it comes to slingshots, the Wrist Rocket is the Rolls Royce of slingshots. The advanced design enables you to increase your power and stabilizes your wrist so that you can be much more accurate while getting off your shots at a much quicker rate.
If you can’t send that little steel ball, or rock through anything more than a cardboard target, what’s the use in having one? In order to be effective in a self-defense or hunting situation, you’re going to have to get more power out of your weapon than that from a traditional slingshot. Speed has a direct correlation to power and the more speed behind that little ball the more it packs a punch.
The modern sling shot gets its power from the design, and there are 2 basic designs. The older simpler design has a bar that goes from the handle along each side of your wrist. The bars are connected by a strap that goes over your forearm. Rather than relying only on your wrist for resistance when you pull back on the sling, you now are relying on the strength of your forearm as well and that is what gives the rocket its power.
The newer Rocket uses a plastic contoured brace that molds to your forearm. Today many designs use a molded pistol grip rather than just a slim rod for a handle. The pistol grip enables you to maintain more control over your rocket which increases your accuracy.
Here are some of the newer sling shots that are designed for maximum power, accuracy, and speed when loading and reloading. These designs have taken an old toy and turned it into a formidable weapon for hunting and self-defense.
Slingshots have been around for years and thanks to advances in modern technology, they have become a reliable, legitimate weapon for hunting as well as self-defense. Today’s Wrist Rocket uses things like stabilizers, magnetic pouches, pistol grips, contoured braces, fiber optic sights, and adjustable power settings.
You can still use a small rock at a pinch, but most people serious about their slingshots will tell you to use specially designed shot. Some slingshots even use a magnetic pouch to keep your ammo from falling out which could be a fatal mistake in a self-defense situation.


Evaluation of the Reliability and Sensitivity of NDT Methods for Titanium Alloys
Final rept. 1 May 72-31 Jan 74
MCDONNELL AIRCRAFT CO ST LOUIS MO
Pagination or Media Count:
The report describes the work conducted on a program designed to improve nondestructive testing techniques and, then, to evaluate the capability and reproducibility of the improved nondestructive testing techniques for the evaluation of discontinuities occurring in titanium. Reported are penetrant dwell times, penetrant bleed-out times, developer types, emulsification times, and water washing parameters required to effectively penetrant inspect parts which may contain a variety of crack sizes and porosity. Both post-emulsifiable and water washable fluorescent penetrants were investigated. The effect of kilovoltage on radiographic contrast sensitivity is discussed. Ultrasonic inspection of contour surfaces is reported and methods for improving near-surface resolution are documented. Methods for ultrasonic inspection of thin machined parts are reported.

Hang on. A Han Solo spin-off?
Yes. A Han Solo spin-off. After Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012, they announced – alongside their plans to resurrect the episodic Skywalker saga – a number of spin-offs and standalone films set within the Star Wars universe. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, released in 2016, was the first official spin-off under the new arrangement, and the Han Solo spin-off will be the second – an origins story delving into the early years of the silver-tongued smuggler originally played by Harrison Ford.
What’s it called?
At the moment, IMDb lists the film as Untitled Han Solo Star Wars Anthology Film. Rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? There’s been no official announcement yet, title-wise, but it would make sense to conform to the format of the last spin-off and go with something like Han Solo: A Star Wars Story.
During filming, the production has had the working title Star Wars: Red Cup, which is a jokey reference to a famous red cup manufacturer going by the name of The Solo Cup Company.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller are the directing team behind the whole thing. The duo are responsible for 21 Jump Street and its sequel, 22 Jump Street, plus adventures in animation like Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs and The Lego Movie. Their background in comedy seems a decent fit for Han’s rakish wit, and perhaps gives some clue as to the tone of the movie.
“This is the first film we’ve worked on that seems like a good idea to begin with,” the pair said in a statement. “This is a dream come true for us. And not the kind of dream where you’re late for work and all your clothes are made of pudding, but the kind of dream where you get to make a film with some of the greatest characters ever, in a film franchise you’ve loved since before you can remember having dreams at all.”
Who’s written the script?
Lawrence Kasdan – the man behind legendary Star Wars fare like Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and more recently The Force Awakens – has teamed up with his son and co-writer, Joe Kasdan, to write the screenplay. After more than thirty years, this is the senior Kasdan’s swansong effort with the franchise.
Who is playing Han Solo?
Alden Ehrenreich is Han Solo. Stepping into Harrison Ford’s not inconsiderable shoes to play the scruffy-lookin’ nerf herder, Ehrenreich is not widely known to mainstream audiences – though that’s about to change soon, of course – instead having skulked in scene-stealing roles for films like Hail, Caesar!, Stoker and Blue Jasmine. Ehrenreich was confirmed in the role on stage at Star Wars Celebration 2016, where it was revealed he was the first actor of thousands to audition. Will we see his fateful completion of the Kessel run in under twelve parsecs?
Who else is in the cast?
Donald Glover is Lando Calrissian. This was a casting announcement that had Star Wars fans collectively raise an eyebrow and mutter to themselves, “Hello, what have we here?” Glover – a modern-day polymath, known for his work in Community, Atlanta, 30 Rock, and a successful music career as alter ego Childish Gambino – was a much-touted fan favourite for the role, and there’s already chatter about whether we’ll see that infamous game of sabacc in which Lando loses the Millennium Falcon to Han.
Woody Harrelson is Beckett. After father figure work to Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games franchise, the veteran Texan actor looks set to take on a similar role here. “I play a guy named Beckett, who’s kind of a criminal and a mentor to Han,” Harrelson told Jimmy Fallon during a recent interview on the Tonight Show. “That’s all I can say.”
Joonas Suotamo is filling the large furry shoes of Chewbacca, Han's trusty wookiee companion. Suotamo doubled for Peter Mayhew – the original Chewbacca, forced to retire for health reasons – for certain scenes in The Force Awakens, and is expected to also appear in The Last Jedi. “I aspire to make Peter proud and bring Star Wars fans the Chewie they know and love,” Suotamo said in a recent interview.
What’s it about?
Understandably, as of yet, Disney are keeping their cards close to their chest on details. We know it will focus on how Han became the man who definitely shot first, set before the events of A New Hope, perhaps around ten years or so. (Alden Ehrenreich is 27; Harrison Ford was 33 when filming began on the first Star Wars film.)
“This moves closer to a heist or Western-type feel,” Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy told Variety back in November. “We’ve talked about (Frederic) Remington and those primary colors that are used in his paintings defining the look and feel of the film.”
Where is the film being shot?
In keeping with a Star Wars tradition that stretches right back to 1977 and A New Hope, the Han Solo spin-off is being shot just outside of London, meaning a galaxy far, far away is actually not that far away for a lot of us Brits. Filming officially commenced in January at Pinewood Studios, and will include location shooting too – will we finally see Han’s home planet of Corellia?
When will it be released?
May 25, 2018 is the current release date.
That’s quite a long time away. What do I do in the meantime?

Major General Athar Abbas, a spokesman for the Directorate of Inter-Services Intelligence, acknowledged the service had contacts with the Haqqanis.My bolding. In related news, the Haqqani network is not yet on the State Department list of terror organizations. That's a few days after they sent guys from Pakistan, with Pakistani clothing and juice packets and supplies and cell phones with repeated phone calls to Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) on them - to the middle of Kabul where they killed a lone security guard and holed up in the top of a high-rise under construction. From where they could launch RPGs and shoot up the place, killing a bunch of innocent Muslims.

Even a single-vehicle accident can lead to personal injury and wrongful death claims. When one person is driving others, it’s expected that they will be cautious. If they are not supposed to be driving or are not being safe, then others could get hurt.
Take, for example, this sad case involving the deaths of two teens that took place at around 2:30 a.m. One young driver was driving their friends when they suddenly went off the right side of the road. The vehicle hit a tree before continuing down an embankment and entering into a wooded area to the side of the road.
Two 16-year-old teens were killed in the crash, while three others, two 16 and one 14, were hospitalized with serious injuries. One of the minors was Lifestarted to CCM in Hartford due to their condition. These students of Litchfield were not related. Authorities are still trying to determine if the driver was legally able to be driving with four other teens in their vehicle at the time of the collision.
When someone’s negligence or errors causes a collision that takes lives or causes injuries, it’s important that they’re held accountable. Fortunately, many young drivers do have insurance, which helps cover those who are harmed when they’re hurt in a crash.
As someone who has been involved in a collision with a teen, it’s important to take the time to put together your claim. Though they may be young, it is still their responsibility to be safe on the roads to protect themselves and others. A personal injury claim can help you seek the compensation you need moving forward.

The creative waves are still rolling in at Wavemaker, especially during the third week of our Stoked-on-Tech summer programme. Our third week was all about street art and stencils, using the laser cutter and design software to produce some brilliant images.
There were many highlights of the week, including Wednesday’s “Make your own printed Tote Bag”, which saw people as young as eight years old master design software skills to create their own personalised bags. Of course Minecraft Steve made an appearance, as did some really unique japanese inspired designs. At the end of the workshop everyone certainly had a bag for life.
We were also joined by a community group on Wednesday afternoon, as part of Appetite’s Big Feast weekend preparations. The group again learned design software skills to produce stencils using the laser cutter. Now, those of you who have tried should understand when I say, creating stencils is the trickiest thing. Trying to visualise in your head what will be cut, what images you will lose once cut, is a mind bending process. What was once an intricate image with beautiful detail can quickly become a big hole in a piece of card, an empty outline of nothing. So it’s not as easy as you might think, but our guys did a brilliant job!
We also ran a sold out Graffiti stencil workshop on Friday to a room full of eager makers, wanting to know all the tips and skills needed to be the next Banksy. And boy, were they hot on the Bristolians heels. We had cats, dogs, hamsters in wheels, as well as octopuses and minecraft swords. There’s no doubting it was an eclectic mix.
Running alongside this fantastic workshop, we also had the privilege of hosting two very talented local graffiti artists Tom Edwards and Andy Cooke, from Entrepreneurs in Piccadilly, Hanley. These boys, alongside fellow artist and businessman, Rob Fenton, also run the Hall of Fame legal graffiti wall in Stoke, as well as Upstairs Gallery and Present Screen Printing workshops. To say these guys know what they are talking about is an understatement! For the whole day, Tom and Andy took it in turns to create a live piece of graffiti art on the patio area of the Mitchell Arts Centre, as part of our BIG Make. People were also welcome to come along, have a look and also have a go at spray painting stencils onto the piece. The sun was shining, the paints were flowing, it was a great afternoon. Who knows, maybe our very own Blek le Rat was born that day.
The holiday continues to roll on with workshops centred around dressing the city for the bank holiday extravaganza, Appetite’s The Big Feast, which will showcase a whole weekend of street performances, art and culture across the city. Wavemaker will also be working with Future Lights, a Staffordshire University supported competition for recent ceramics graduates from across Europe, where we will introduce them to new technologies and possibilities in ceramic design. And if that wasn’t enough, Friday 2nd September Wavemaker will have its very own Stoked-on-Tech Summer 2016 Exhibition. This will give the opportunity for makers across the summer to showcase their creations from the various workshops, and also give local artists in the city the opportunity to exhibit their work, bringing together present artists from the city with our future makers. We want to give young people in the city the chance to meet current artists and make them aware that the career opportunities are there to do what you love, and love what you do.
The holidays may be drawing slowly to a sunny close, but there’s no doubt the last few weeks will be some of our busiest. #StokedonTech #LoveStokeLouder

Rekha Diwe was no great beauty. She’d known that all her 40 years. Even as village girls go in India, she had been quite plain. The teeth were uneven and her facial features rather masculine. But when she’d been married at age 18, her husband’s family had been pleased with the gifts of sarees, kurtas, a milking cow, five pregnant she-goats and a collection of bridal jewellery. And she’d had a pleasing figure. Neat and curved hips below a small waist and breasts which were already heavy and well formed at 18; and were to become superb as the years went by.
Her husband Ratan had been a caring but useless man. No job and no ambition, but good to her and their children in the early days. Now, after 24 years, he was still employed only on a casual daily basis by construction firms, or as a labourer on the roadways. He had become less caring towards their elder daughter now aged 23, their son of 18 and the younger daughter of 13. Also her husband had become lazier and less demanding in recent years, as regards his conjugal rights, and she was relieved. Years ago, he’d stopped trying to please her although her memory of early orgasms still came to her in quite moments or in the night, as she explored her own body in the dark.
Their house was hardly what the word implied: a single room of 7 metres by 5 metres in which they all slept, ate and kept dry during the monsoon. With a kitchenette lean-to on one side and a small bathroom with chemical toilet on the other. Husband slept on the only bed, a brass-knobbed single bed from at least 60 years earlier. Rekha and the children slept on the floor, on mattresses of straw and feathers. Rekha’s elderly mother also slept there, and lived in the house practically every hour of the year.
But Rekha was regarded as successful. She had a job as daily housekeeper at the big bungalow at the end of the village, belonging to a high-caste Indian business woman and her Britisher husband. She earned more every month than Ratan had ever earned in their life together. She kept her family clothed, fed and respectable and was seen by most village women as a model of good housekeeping and perseverance in the face of life’s difficulties; meaning especially her sot of a shiftless husband. She had no schooling at all. Not a single day in her entire life, despite the national requirement and provision for free primary education. She’d even paid for her son to attend school so that he could now write his name and address in English as well as their local dialect, and could read the local newspapers. Yes; she was a successful woman and mother in her village.
But Rekha had a dream, a fantasy, which she knew was only that but it had sustained her year after year in her employment up at the big bungalow. She had a secret and shameful desire to hold next to her the pale Britisher husband of her employer, and to feel his nimble hands on her skin, on her breast and holding her hips. She was realistic enough to realise that he would no longer be able to hold her waist, simply because it was no longer clear to her or any man where her waist had once been; or at least that is how she felt about her figure. But to have him hold her and press her to him, would be the very zenith of her sensuous desires in life; of that she was quite certain, even if he did not fill her or show very great sexual interest in her. The paleness of his skin, the fairness of the hairs on his arms, the slim hips and broad chest (very much the reverse of Ratan’s figure), the mobile and sensuous fingers and thumbs; these all attracted her.
Although 20 years older than herself, she believed him to be fit and strong, and longed to find out. She watched him whenever he wasn’t noticing her, which seemed to be all the time, although he did give her a big smile occasionally. Also occasionally, she had done some dangerous and scandalous things to please herself and she hoped would not be found out. In her small laundry at the bungalow, she’d reached below her saree and touched her labia before hanging out the Britisher’s underwear; as if to place her scent on them, no matter how faintly. On a few occasions, she had tried on Sir’s briefs before they were washed. Then she knew that she had his scent on her, no matter how faintly. But also she knew how small his hips and bottom were because she needed to stretch them over her own, so that they dug into her waist, and around the tops of her thighs, and between her legs. She longed to see his hips and thighs and buttocks for herself.
Then one day, an ordinary day at the big bungalow, something changed. Madam was away for some days, on business, as was often the case. Sir was alone in the house although the gardener went about his business around the lawns and herb plantations; but the driver was absent, carrying Madam around the State in their SUV. On this day, the gardener finished his work early and went to the nearest town, 40 km distant, to buy in a new supply of liquid fertilizer and insecticide for the herb garden. casino şirketleri Rekha was alone in the house and Sir was closed up in the office, adjacent to the main bedroom. Rekha’s fantasy was far from the front of her mind as she prepared the vegetables for the evening meal. After that she would sweep and swab all the rooms in the house and Sir, going by previous practice over some years, would vacate the office and bedroom, and sit on the veranda while she did it.
She heard his voice, “Rekha.” She replied equally with the monosyllable, “Sir?” and walked towards the office. Her hands were damp and she was drying them on a cloth as she saw him just inside the bedroom door. He beckoned her as he often did when something needed cleaning or tidying. As she moved towards him, his right hand raised and took hold of her shoulder. It was almost the first physical contact they’d ever had apart from when lifting things together or passing items for storage or cleaning. He let his fingers fold and press down the back of the shoulder, with his palm flat on her bloused shoulder. He pressed slightly again as if to propel her forward with that one shoulder blade and then his other hand took hold of her right wrist, still holding its drying cloth.
He moved backward hardly a single pace and pulled her with him. Her feet were now both inside the door frame of the big bedroom; three times the size of her entire house. She resisted his dragging by instinct; everything she’s learnt from a child was to resist such urging from strange men. But also she knew that this is what she had desired for years, and now something was going to happen. She knew that she ought to extricate herself and flee but knew just as certainly that she wanted more to happen, and to know the answers to her many questions. As she faltered momentarily, and pulled back from his grip, he seemed to sense her difficulty and she felt his grasp weakening.
In that moment, all her womanly desires came to her aid: she would go through with this, whatever it was and whatever he wanted from her. What he wanted she would not only accept but she would want it also, even if it were new, maybe frightening and unfamiliar. Before his grasp could become noticeably weaker, she took a small step into the bedroom. They looked into each other’s eyes and he smiled one of his broad grins which made his eyes crinkle and his nose pucker at the bridge. She smiled back as if to say, “Yes, anything.” And she could tell that he knew what she meant although he had none of her Hindi dialect and she had no English. He walked backwards into the room and she followed him. With his left hand, he flicked the door gently and it clicked shut. The only sound was the AC panel, softly whirring high in the corner. He spoke in his foreign tongue, and she understood not a word except she heard her name in the jumble of sounds.
“I’ve been waiting for this to happen, Rekha. I’ve watched you for months and years. I think you’re a sensuous woman and I also think we could please each other. I’ve seen you watching me, so I think I know you’ll accept my invitation.”
Before she knew what was happening, and in a daze of excitement and wonder, she realised she was moving towards the bathroom built onto the big bedroom. Sir let his right hand drop from her shoulder and placed it with the back on his fingers on the skin of her torso, gripping the multiple folds of her saree. He tugged on the fabric and then moved his hand toward her left hip to find the safety pin which kept the folds together. A very useful modern invention, the safety pin, for wearers of the ancient mode of dress called saree. Deftly, in a way that surprised her, he unclipped the pin, slid it from the fabric, and then held it up between them to close it and make it safe again. He tossed it to one side, onto the easy chair nest to the bed. His left hand lifted the shoulder shawl part of her saree fabric and threw it over her shoulder so that it hung down her back. Quickly he tugged on the saree so that it unravelled on her figure until it could be dropped to the floor of the bedroom, which he did. She was standing there in her blouse top over her white western bra, and with only her grey (once white) shorts covering her female nakedness. He took the same hold on her shoulder and wrist, and pulled her completely into the bathroom, and then did something for which her experience and culture had not prepared her.
He kneeled down in front of her and pulled her shorts down, all the time looking up like a small boy, straight into her eyes. He gave her the broad grin again and she smiled back She had never had a man on his knees in front of her and it was over 20 years since Ratan had deigned to take off her clothes. Instinctively, she placed both her hands under her loose abdomen, and supported the folds of skin and fat that were the remnants of her childbearing so long ago. He reached up and took her hands away from her embarrassment and placed them at her sides. She let casino firmaları it happen and was not even surprised to feel the cool smoothness of his left hand with soap washing over her stomach, down her thighs a little, between her legs and over her bottom. He pressed slightly on her anus finally, the better to clean it. And then he dipped his hand in a basin of clean water to one side and rinsed her skin and her sex.
As he stood up, he took a soft cool towel from the stand and held it to her skin, pressing it then into her hands for her to dry herself. As she did so he undid the top button of his white trousers and they fell to his feet, whence he flicked them to one side. She’d been right; his hips and legs were slim and muscular. She took a glance at his buttocks and saw firm rounded pads of muscles that quivered as he moved, with the tension of muscles, not the wobble of fat.
He took her left hand and held it in the soapy basin, then massaging the soap with her hand and his, until she had lather on hers. He pulled her hand towards his erect penis and made as if to lean it. She did so, all the time watching his face and feeling the strength of his erection against her finger. When she was ready, she brought the rinsing water on his hand and swilled him off, and then took the towel without his urging and dried him. She lingered over the erection, and around his testicles, and underneath between his legs. All the while, they smiled into each others’ eyes.
He took her left hand in his right and walked backwards again, this time towards the bed. She knew what was going to happen; or at least she thought she knew some part of it. He took her to the bedside and raised both hands to undo the buttons and hooks down the front of her saree blouse, and eased it over her shoulders, leaving her bra and breasts on display. He cupped them both in his hands and lifted slightly, and chuckled very softly, almost like a smile with sound. She chuckled also, more audibly. He pulled her towards him, using her breasts inside the bra until his hands were touching his own chest and just her nipples were grazing his hairs, through the bra.
Then he reached round her and pulled her to him so that he could unfasten the hooks at the back. She always had difficulty with them, partly because they were behind her but also because there were six hooks. She needed such a firm and long bra to hold her heavy breasts in place inside the blouse. He pulled the bra forward and over her arms, which she let drop so that the bra fell to the floor. He took her to the edge of the bed and gently pushed her until she toppled sideways and had to locate herself by putting out a hand and finding support. Within a second she was lying in the bed and he was leaning over her, with one hand on a breast and the other on her waist; or where her waist used to be at one time, she thought. She lay back as he leaned further over, and nuzzled her breast with his lips; gradually sucking on her nipple until she felt the warmth and moisture gathering between her legs. He shifted position and did the same to the other breast and nipple.
By now her eyes were closed and she was sinking rapidly into an erotic daze. Without her realising it, her legs opened a fraction and she could feel the coolness of the AC on her wetted and swelling labia.
He put one hand down to her groin and slowly let his middle finger slide down towards her clitoris and between the lips, until it rested in the cool moisture she had made for him. He played in his lips and over her clitoris, and placed his finger inside her and then repeated the movements and pressure again and again. She could feel her orgasm building and he sensed it, but he didn’t want it to finish yet, and he slowly withdrew his hand. She opened her eyes and gave the unspoken question, “Why? Why not? Oh please!” He gave her the big grin and his eyes crinkled again as he shifted his weight to lie on her so that she could feel the stiffness between her legs, pressing gently on the same creases and the clitoris where his hand had been a minute earlier.
She raised her knees and he lifted his chest off her, sliding forward so that he entered her without either of them needing to provide any guidance. She hadn’t felt so controlled for many years, or pleased by being filled so spontaneously. He wasn’t especially big inside her after three childbirths, but he was hard and he moved cleverly, so that he rubbed and shivered exactly the parts she needed to feel. How did he know, she wondered, but gave up thinking as the orgasm started building again, and this time he kept up the motion and the pressures until she came. Quietly but positively, her body shuddered and her mouth opened even as her eyes closed. She heard nothing and saw nothing, but felt everything inside her and his body close to hers. She reached up and held his shoulders, feeling the strength in his shoulder blades and the tautness of the muscles at the back of his neck. He moved a little inside güvenilir casino her but was not pressing for his own climax, she realised. She had never come across that sort of delay and control before; certainly not with Ratan, who went for the final explosion as soon as possible, regardless of her pleasure.
They subsided together; she from the height of her orgasm and he from the stiffness of his full erection. He leaned to one side and took his weight off her, lying by her and fondling her breasts, her throat, her shoulders and her tummy down to her groin. He legs were still side open from his earlier position on her, and he slowly pushed them together, so that she was long and pointed. Lying flat on her back, she could feel th flatness of her abdomen and wondered where all the protruding skin and flesh had gone to. She didn’t know or care; she just felt fulfilled and satisfied.
He spoke to her in English and she understood not a single word.
“I’m going to dress you for my delight now. It may be very strange for you but I’ll get such pleasure, I don’t know if you’ll be frightened or delighted. You’re going to give me delights, anyway.”
She was happy to be with him and to feel his nearness. She wondered briefly what his words meant but just rested back with eyes closed again, and her hand on his knee, as her own wetness trickled out of her and down her own buttock onto the bed. She felt no embarrassment and smiled as she thought she would be washing those very bedclothes tomorrow. He got off the bed slowly and she wondered if that was the end of their interlude of pleasure. She began to raise herself but he pressed her down by one hand between her breasts, to make her stay flat on the bed; and he went to a cupboard.
He returned with a bundle of items that she assumed were clothes but like no clothes she had ever seen. They were mostly brilliant white an seemed stiffened somehow. He placed them on the bed at her feet, and resumed his fondling of her body. Suddenly he took her right hand, on the opposite side from himself and pulled her gently but smoothly. She rolled over towards him and he stood off the bed, raising her until she was standing.
He reached across and took one item from the bundle. To Rekha it looked like a pair of pants with no bottom part. He held it towards her feet, tapping on her left foot to be raised, which she did. He slipped the garment over her left foot and ankle. Then he repeated the movements until she was standing in the garment, still with no inkling of what it was or how it was meant to fit. He kneeled to one side of her and slowly began to raise the garment to her knees, and then to her thighs. Rekha realised it was very tight on her and didn’t think it could possible go over her hips; and it seemed to be ripped on the left side. Sir stood and took a firm hold at the front and lifted the garment until it could move no further over her hips. He took both her hands and placed them where he had been tugging. He sent round the back and took hold behind her, he wais a word and she knew that was the signal to lift the garment again, so she did. It slipped up her skin more easily than she expected, now that both of them were lifting all around her torso. It didn’t feel like anything she had worn before and her abdomen seemed even more bloated and uncontrolled as it forced the garment to gape at the side where it seemed to be split. He led her to the bed again and motioned her to lie flat, and she did.
With her abdomen flat again, he leaned over, kissed both breasts and then slowly began to push her skin and flesh into a central position inside the garment. Because she was lying prone, it all fell into position relatively easily, and he reached down to the split on her left side. She could tell that he was joining hooks and eyes. The first two were easy, the next two more difficult, and the final two required a lot of stretching of the fabric and compression of her body until they were all closed. Then he moved a zipper with some difficulty over the hooks, until the split was made up and she was contained inside the garment. Lying down as she was, she felt pressure on her body from under her breasts, quite high on her ribs, until down over her thighs at the sides, under her bottom at the back and across her groin at the front. Sir moved to the pile of clothes again and selected two white objects, which he brought to her feet. He manoeuvred one of them onto his own hand, and then offered it up to her foot, before peeling it off his hand and slowly feeding it up her leg. It came to a position slightly above her knees in her lying-down position. He did the same with the other item and her other leg. When they were both at about the same height on her legs, he took her hand and motioned her off the bed once more. She moved with more difficulty this time, as the pressure of the girdle constrained her body and her muscles. She stood off the bed and he kneeled before her to lift the stockings higher and into positions that could be attached to the suspenders on her girdle. He did them both and she became aware of the tension in the stockings as well as in the suspenders and the girdle, as it now stretched even further to support the stockings.
