News of Elliott Carter's death yesterday is on the front page of today's New York Times. But three years ago, Elliott Carter had been all over the TV news. This was not because of a great new piece he'd written, or to celebrate his Pulitzer Prizes in Music (yes, that's right, prizes -- plural).
No, Elliott Carter's great, newsworthy achievement was living to be 100 years old. To be present at your own centennial concert at Carnegie Hall was a story too good to pass up.
A year later, speaking to Carter at the annual League Of Composers concert at Miller Theater, I found him to be somewhat bemused by the whole thing. But he laughed when I introduced the event as the start of "Elliott Carter, the next hundred years." A year after that, he regaled us with tales of the founding of the League: Aaron Copland and he had competing composers organizations, an idea the young Carter found "silly." Last year, in 2011, Carter's hearing was dramatically worse, so he came prepared with something he wanted to say about the particular piece being performed that night. "After that," he told me, "you can ask me your crazy questions." I always thought this was just an expression, but I swear, there was an actual twinkle in his eyes when he said this.
Elliott Carter wrote music that for most listeners is impenetrable. I don't mean this either as a putdown or as some kind of sniffy "Oh you wouldn't understand" defense of his work. It's a simple fact, one that Carter was fine with. His music was challenging, intellectual, and uncompromising. Yet he was a very funny guy.
Carter wasn't at this year's League Of Composers concert, but he was at the NY Philharmonic's Contact series, conductor Alan Gilbert's new music events, so I got to talk to him then. By this point he was wheelchair bound, but still sharp as a tack. So there, in the august Metropolitan Museum of Art, surrounded by the distinguished musicians of the New York Philharmonic, I decided it was time for one of my crazy questions.
"I am not the only person who thinks that your works since you turned 90 are the best works of your career," I said. This, by the way, was true; I'd said it backstage to clarinetist Virgil Blackwell, Carter's assistant and the dedicatee of a recent Carter piece, and Blackwell had immediately agreed. "What have you been doing different since then?" Without missing a beat, he answered, "Well, I spent 90 years learning how to be Elliott Carter. I guess I've just gotten good at it."
Not bad for a 103-year-old.
Carter's recent music is so finely distilled, without a single extraneous note, that it becomes somewhat easier to hear the lyricism that has been lurking under the thorny exterior of his music. But that doesn't mean you should ignore the works of his youth, which in Carter's case means his mid 70s. The work that converted me was the piano piece "Night Fantasies," from the early 1980s.
I was not supposed to like Elliott Carter. He represented the old school, the dissonant, academic style that my heroes, Philip Glass and Steve Reich, were fighting against. But "Night Fantasies" is a brilliant depiction of an unsettled night, full of fleeting dreamlike images, spiky but atmospheric.
Tonight, I will be glued to the television, watching the election returns roll in. But I will make some time late this afternoon, maybe after the sun goes down, to listen to "Night Fantasies" again. If you're curious about this major figure in American music, maybe you should too.

Nicoletta Cecolli Tarot
Complete Deck Details
Name: Nicoletta Ceccoli Tarot
Creators: Nicoletta Ceccoli
Publisher: Lo Scarabeo 2014
Deck Type: Tarot Deck
Major Arcana: 22 / Minor Arcana: 56
Suits: Cups, Swords, Wands, Discs
The Nicoletta Cecolli Tarot is a 78 card deck full of haunting childlike images gracing each card. The art is simply divine and is very reminiscent of youthful fairytales, both the light and dark aspects of those stories. Most of Cecolli's art features young girls with pouty lips and pale faces. The deck is created under the same standard Tarot framework with a major and minor arcana. This is truly a deck that may invoke a sense of discomfort given the doll-like faces and mature content displayed on some of the cards. It is undeniable the artistic maturity and creativity of the illustrator. She has a background in character design which shows throughout her work.
I would personally argue that this deck and her work is a proper exercise in world building.
Although each card is associated with the wands, swords, pentacles, and cups, it is as if each image has its own fairytale! The colors may be muted but they definitely do not dull the impact of the story unfolding on each card. There is a theme of innocence running throughout the deck due to the round faces, subtle pink cheeks, and pure white hair. However, there are cards where this seemingly innocent character embodies a deep undercurrent of malevolence.
There are definitely childhood terror themes that span the deck. For example, the 5 of swords shows a young girl, similar to Alice in Wonderland, holding a large butcher knife ready to slice and dice an oversized carrot. The three of swords reveals a young butterfly girl with a sewing needle piercing her heart. The 7 of wands displays a young girl being spanked by a yellow-eyes red cat monster three times her size. You may be asking the relevance given that traditionally the 7 of wands is usually about standing your ground and protecting what's yours. There is definitely a different theme in this card. Oversized bunnies with button eyes, large monkey kings, and carrot devils run the gamut in the minor arcana which, again, seem to be a part of young child's world. The Hierophant is quite amusing but also slightly frightening- a monkey fitted in a gold robe and white gown teach three young religious initiate children who are kneeled below- this is definitely a play on the traditional Rider-Waite Hierophant where to older male initiates kneel before the pope. The Wheel of Fortune card in this deck shows a young circus girl on a human dart board stabbed, presumably to death, insinuating bad luck. The High Priestess here is a young pale-faced girl with a small gold crown and slightly wild white tresses flanking her round cheeks. She is slightly nude and encased in an ivory white castle. There is such an innocence about her that it's a little hard to believe that she embodies the full wisdom of the traditional high priestess.
I am not sure that every image fits the traditional meaning of each card--the artwork was already created and thus not illustrated specifically for the Tarot. This deck is good to help you flex your intuitive muscles. Ask yourself: What story is the little girl trying to tell you? This deck will help you get in touch with your creative side and perhaps can be a helpful tool to revisit and maybe heal childhood issues.
The little white guidebook offers explanations for each card with key concepts. Similar to most Lo Scarabeo decks, there are no card spreads included.
Overall, this deck is really a collector's deck. Personally, I love to stare at the art, however, I am not sure that I would use it to answer questions about finances, love, or professional development, or health. I would use it to get in touch my creative side- if I were a writer I would pull a card daily to trigger my imagination- invite myself to a new world with wild characters and unpredictable obstacles. If I were an artist, I would let it inspire me as I traversed the world of youthfully sweet surrealism.

The site was started to just record the history of family members with the surname Ough ( pronounced "O" as in "though") who were part of the Cornish mining community living in Mexico. However, as the family tree was explored the site had to be expanded to cover many other branches of the family tree . Strong family connections have been discovered to relatives and ancestors in the United Kingdom, Mexico, New Zealand, Canada, France, Hong Kong and Australia. The web site has now become a repository for all kinds of historical and archival material about an unusual British/French/Mexican family.
We have found that the original members of the Mexican side of the Ough family are directly connected by close blood and marriage ties to other families with the following surnames: Alexander, Asher, Baker, Brown, Deakin, Dealy, Decouflet, Demolin, Glanville, Gibson, Guerard, Lafitte, Leggett, Plaxton, Savery, Shopland, Taylor, Telfer,
Smith, Rodriguez, Romero, Rule, Yandle, Ward-Harris and White.
The site continues to be developed. Minnie Ough Dealy has added more material to her memoirs. Other recent material includes items about Lucy Todd, Georgette Deakin and Sylvia Shopland. Lucy's memoire describes the sacrifices she made whilst her husband Kenneth was a POW on the Infamous Burma Rail road during WW2. He was a doctor with the RAMC having been captured by the Japanese when Singapore fell in 1942.
A new section is being set up to further cover the Dealy side of the family. New relatives with links to ancestors who lived in Sheffield have recently come to light. Material contributed by Pat Brown ( nee Dealy) and Anne King (nee Dealy ) who live in Western Austraila and Chris Dealy who is in Cornwall is now being added.
Our hope is that you will enjoy this site. If you have any comments please do contact us.

What are Microbeads?
Microbeads are tiny pieces of plastic that are included in a wide range of cosmetics, such as exfoliators, toothpaste, shower gels, and cleansers. They are often made of polyethylene but can be made of other petrochemical plastics such as polypropylene and polystyrene. They are small enough to wash down the plughole and because they are so small, they easily pass through water filtration systems. This means they readily get into the ocean and this causes devastating environmental effects.
What Damage Can Microbeads do to Skin?
As well as several environmental problems, microbeads are not the skin savior that manufacturing PR teams might have you believe. Exfoliating your skin is an important part of a healthy skincare routine, but skin cells are delicate and rubbing plastic on them can do a lot of damage. As far as skincare tips go: Microbeads can lead to poor skin tone, tears in cells that allow bacteria in and in many ways, they are the epitome of what not to do when seeking how to get clear skin. There is a multitude of other exfoliant options that lead to healthy skin and a healthy environment.
What Damage Can Microbeads do to the Environment?
Our oceans are already swamped with waste and plastic and as there is no way for this material to disappear naturally, we either have to clean it up or accept that our beautiful planet is rapidly becoming a waste ground.
Microbeads end up in the ocean and this means that they become part of the food chain. Cosmetic and environmental scientists have researched this area thoroughly and have discovered the beads inside a wide range of sea life. It is not just marine life that is inadvertently finding these plastic pieces in their diet, a recent study showed that 90 percent of birds have plastic in their stomachs too. Furthermore, humans are consuming microbeads through toothpaste and for those who eat seafood that has consumed microbeads, the toxins pass from plate to person.

- This report presents the work done on " Investigation of Syngas Interaction in Alcohol Synthesis Catalysts" during the last quarter. The major activity during this period is on FTIR absorption studies of Co/Cr catalysts using CO as a probe molecule. Transition metals cobalt and copper play significant roles in the conversion of syngas (CO + H2 ) to liquid fuels. With a view to examine the nature of interaction between CO and metal, the FTIR spectra of CO adsorbed on Co-Cr2 O3 composites were investigated. The results indicate that as cobalt loading increases, the intensity of the CO adsorption bands increase and several vibrational modes seem to be promoted. Heat treatment of the sample revealed two distinct processes of adsorption. Bands due to physisorption disappeared while bands due to chemisorption not only increased in intensity but persisted even after desorption. It seems that the physisorption process is more active when the catalyst is fresh and is hindered when carbidic/carbonyl formations occur on the metal surfaces.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — State economic experts say a shutdown is risking serious consequences for Alabama families.
In the aftermath of a potential government shutdown, a variety of government-funded family services in the state of Alabama would be disrupted.
For families that rely on services to care for the elderly, including both children and adults with disabilities, a shutdown would have devastating impacts while almost financially dismantling essential programs that thousands rely on for health and education.
“The impact on a lot of these assistance programs that a lot of people desperately need would be quite severe, “said Dr. Wafa Orman, professor of economics at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
Dr. Orman says that state governments would be forced to pay for federal services like temporary assistance for needy families as well as early childhood education. Although federal money for those programs has been set aside, it’s only expected to last less than a week.
“For people that are furloughed government workers, you would hope that they have savings or a credit card that can tide them through a shutdown,” Dr. Orman explained. “But a family that relies on WIC or the Head Start childhood program or even Section VIII housing, they are not in that position.”
The longer a shutdown lasts the worse off health and human services programs would be.
“This is quite the impact of families that rely on these services that could potentially be really bad,” Dr. Orman said.
The Alabama Department of Public Health sent a statement to News 19 regarding a potential government shutdown:
The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) will continue to operate under our model and mission to promote, protect, and improve the health of citizens throughout the state. ADPH staff will be monitoring the situation regarding a possible government shutdown.Alabama Department of Public Health

First, let me start off by saying this: Beyoncé doesn't need anyone to "give her" a moment. The Queen IS a moment, and during the 2017 Grammys, she proved that. But, as many have noticed, Beyoncé didn't win the 2017 Grammy for Album of the Year. Adele did. Talented, respectful, and always stellar Adele took home the coveted trophy over Beyoncé for 25. But, despite Lemonade seemingly being snubbed at the Grammys, Adele — the winner of the award — made her Album of the Year speech all about Beyoncé. And while it didn't fix the pain the BeyHive was feeling, it did help.
There was an importance to Beyoncé winning Album of the Year this year. First of all, Lemonade was amazing. Like, it came with an entire motion picture, lest we forget. But, aside from how much I love Lemonade, had Beyoncé won Album of the Year, it would have been the first time a black woman had won since 1999 (when Lauryn Hill won). That is a long as f*ck time without a black woman representing music's biggest award (on music's biggest night). And, truthfully, it's a travesty that it didn't happen at the 2017 Grammys for Beyoncé.
In addition to that, the fans feel like there was a snub.
Another person who felt Beyoncé had a place on the stage was the actual winner of the Album of the Year award, Adele. In her speech for Record of the Year, Adele thanked Beyoncé. But, in her speech for Album of the Year, Adele basically "Kanye'd" herself, as some are calling it, by interrupting her own speech to talk about how wonderful Beyoncé is and how she deserves so much.
I can't possibly accept this award, and I'm very humbled and I'm very grateful and gracious. But my artist of my life is Beyoncé and this album for me — the Lemonade album — was just so monumental, Beyoncé, it was so monumental, and so... well thought out and soul bearing, and we all got to see another side to you that you don't always let us see and we appreciate that and all us artists here f*cking adore you. You are our light. And the way you make me and my friends feel — the way you make my black friends feel — is empowering, and you make them stand up for themselves and I love you. I always have, and I always will.
See? Women "competing" don't actually have to be pitted against each other like we're made to believe. While this award show does kind of crown someone "a winner" in each category, Adele's speech proves that women can have the adoration and success. They don't need to have one or the other. And that's what we can take from this "snub."
Beyoncé didn't walk away with the Grammy — but she walked away with a powerful AF performance, a daughter (and world, tbh) who watched so dotingly upon her during her speech, and a Grammy winner (Adele) taking her moment in the spotlight to say just how special Beyoncé really is. If you ask me, Beyoncé did win tonight.

When you own dogs, cats or other small pets, it is not always easy to find hotels that accept our four-legged friends and provide services tailored to their needs.
For this reason we often give up on a hotel stay or we are forced to decide to entrust our dogs or cats to relatives, friends or specialized facilities such as animal pensions that can deal with them in our absence. In addition, if occasionally admitted, in many hotels, not always our animal friends enjoy the right respect for their essential needs, such as the possibility of using their dedicated spaces.
Just to meet the needs of those who want to spend their holidays in the company of their own dogs or cats and at the same time disincentive to the abandonment of animals, in recent years, both in Italy and in the rest of the world, so-called pet friendly Hotels have increased. These accommodations are hotels that can give hospitality to animals and ensure them the right treatment, adequate spaces and personalized services.
Petfriendly hotels are generally located near tree-lined areas or with at least green spaces where you can play your dog. In recent years, even pet friendly hotels near the beaches have increased, and in some cases there are real equipped lids designed for people with dogs.
Pet friendly hotels may be available for small pets, dog sitting services, bowls and chains, and in some cases access to the restaurant area, with specially designed menus. Among the services …Pet Friendly Hotels: Let’s Stop The Abandonment of Animals ! Read More

In early March, Twitter and Facebook were among the first companies to close down offices and send staff to work from home—even before government agencies issued lockdown orders to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Just two months later, the two social media giants declared that most employees will one day be able to telecommute permanently.
Large organisations continue to extend their work-from-home policies. In many cases, they’re even making remote work a permanent fixture. Google, for example, initially told employees to work from home until June. Then it extended the policy through the end of 2020. Most recently, the search giant announced that workers could telecommute until July 2021.
It’s not just Silicon Valley tech companies. Most employees for investment banks like Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan are still working from home. Entertainment company ViacomCBS and music labels such as Universal Music Group, Sony Music Group, and Warner Music Group have told workers to work remotely through the end of 2020.
Now that we’re about half a year into the remote work experiment, many employers have determined that the advantages of letting employees work from home outweigh the negatives, according to NPR.
That begs the question: is remote work here to say for the corporate world?
Most employees want to work from home
Studies show that 43% of those who previously commuted to work telecommuted during the height of the pandemic—and they enjoyed it. Remote workers say they are more productive and have better work-life balance since they don’t have to commute and can work a more flexible schedule. In fact, workers also report significantly higher levels of engagement when they work from home.
When the global health crisis is over, most employees still want the option to work from home at least part of the time. According to a survey by PwC, nearly three-quarters of employees (72%) said they’d like to telecommute at least twice a week after the pandemic is over, while nearly one-third (32%) want to work from home full time.
In a survey of 9,059 workers, 48% work from home during the pandemic and have a Workforce Happiness Index score of 75 out of 100, which is four points higher than employees who still have to go into their offices, according to a May report. Remote workers are also more satisfied with their jobs: 57% of telecommuters say they are very satisfied versus 50% of non-remote workers who say they are very satisfied.
Companies want more remote work, too
As COVID-19 lingers, many are planning on making remote work permanent. The reasons are two-fold. In the short term, extending work from home keeps both employees and the company safe from safety-related events. In the long term, the flexibility of remote work breeds higher employee satisfaction and engagement, leading to significantly higher performance and retention.
In June, 54% of finance leaders support making remote work permanent for positions that allow for it, up from 43% in PwC’s CFO March survey. In a different study, the numbers were higher: 74% of CFOs surveyed by Gartner said at least some of their employees will be allowed to permanently work from home after the pandemic ends.
Not every employee can work from home
While remote work is something both leaders and employees want, it’s not an option to most. Only 37% of jobs can be done from home.
And for employees who can work remotely, 68% still want at least some access to the office. Of those, 8% want to work full time in the office and 60% want to take a hybrid approach and be in the office one to four times a week, according to PwC’s remote work survey.
The top reason people say they want to go into the office (50% of survey respondents) is to collaborate with other team members. Difficulty collaborating is also a major reason people give for being unproductive while working from home (39%). They miss face-to-face interactions.
Others are simply more productive in the office because they have too many distractions at home. PwC found that 38% of remote workers feel balancing work with home duties, such as childcare, made them unproductive while working from home.
Coronavirus reshapes remote and office work
When the health crisis is over, employees for some companies will return to their offices full time. Some companies will transition to 100% remote work. But most will likely take a hybrid approach, where employees work at home half the time and in the office half the time.
A permanent, flexible workweek has broad support among both executives and office workers, according to PwC’s latest remote work survey. While 83% of office employees want to work from home at least one day a week, more than half of employers (55%) anticipate that most of their workers will do so post-pandemic, the survey found.
Preparing for the remote-first future
Remote work has earned a permanent spot in the corporate world, and as we recover from the pandemic, more and more people will work from home partially or fully. That’s because not only is remote work better for safety purposes, but also fosters higher engagement and job satisfaction. Apprehensions around productivity have either been quelled or diminished, and it’s ready to usher in a new era of work.
At the same time, it’s also clear that many workers can’t work remotely. From restaurant staff to hardware engineers, many industries will return to normal after the pandemic. At least for now, most offices won’t go anywhere—but that can change in the near future.
Companies planning to expand remote work opportunities will need the right tools to maximise productivity amongst remote teams. While office workers can simply walk to a colleague’s desk to collaborate, remote teams don’t have the same convenience. It’s up to a company’s tools to facilitate communication and collaboration.
Unified communications solutions like the RingCentral App bundles team messaging, video conferencing, and cloud phone into a single platform in the cloud, allowing employees to access all of their communications from anywhere, on any device, and at any time. Employees can easily switch from messaging to voice or video calls with a single click, keeping collaboration as effortless as possible to start.

"I asked the prime minister straight up in September whether this was a combat mission, whether Canadian troops would be involved in combat. I got a categorical answer, and the answer was no," Mulcair told reporters during an event at a Toronto child-care centre Tuesday.
"I specifically asked him in the House of Commons whether or not Canadian Forces would be targeting troops on the other side," Mulcair said. "He did not tell the truth."
During a briefing in Ottawa on Monday, Brig.-Gen. Michael Rouleau, the commander of the Canadian special operations forces command, revealed that Canadian Forces trainers working with Iraqi troops came under "immediate and effective mortar fire" from ISIS and responded with sniper fire, "neutralizing the mortar and the machine-gun position."
The troops had been in a planning session several kilometres behind the front lines, Rouleau said, but had moved up to better see what they had discussed.
He characterized the exchange of gunfire as consistent with the inherent right of self-defence and suggested an incident like this wouldn't have been unusual even in past Canadian peacekeeping missions.
"We have always been clear that while this is a low-risk mission, it is not without risk and our forces on the ground will protect themselves if fired on in the course of carrying out their mission," Prime Minister Stephen Harper's spokesman, Jason MacDonald, said in a statement.
Liberal MPs gathered in London, Ont., for a caucus retreat this week echoed Mulcair's concern that the government needed to clarify the exact role Canadian troops were playing on the ground.
"The prime minister made assurances to Canadians and to the House that as we found out yesterday were not exactly the truth," Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau told reporters Tuesday.
"The prime minister needs to come clean with Canadians on what's going on and why he was lacking in forthrightness with Canadians."
"The government is going to argue obviously that this is not a combat mission in the sense of Canadian soldiers going on the offensive," said foreign affairs critic Marc Garneau.
"They are clearly on the lines, in some cases directing airstrikes, and this is something I think many Canadians did not realize," he said. "I think for some people yesterday that was a surprise."
When Parliament voted last fall on the deployment of aircraft for a bombing mission, Liberals were not supportive, suggesting the appropriate Canadian role to counter the ISIS threat would focus more on humanitarian assistance, training and logistics support.
"It has the appearance of mission creep," said defence critic Joyce Murray. "There appears to be a change."
No front-line role?
While information from Kurdish forces early on suggested Canadian trainers may call in airstrikes, Harper specifically said ground troops would not be accompanying the Iraqi forces into combat.
Now they've exchanged sniper fire.
"The fact that it led so many newscasts indicates that Canadians were surprised — that we thought we were sending aircraft on a combat mission, on a bombing mission, and we suddenly find our ground forces are exchanging fire," said Liberal House leader Dominic LeBlanc.
"The government asked Parliament for a mandate for one sort of mission, and if they've decided now to do a different kind of mission, they should at least have the decency to come back and force their own MPs to vote in favour of the change of the mission," LeBlanc said.
Not every Liberal was surprised by Monday's revelation.
"Everyone expects that the Canadian military, even though they're there for the express purpose of training, if fired upon, they have to defend themselves. And it wasn't an aggressive stance, it was a defensive stance when fired upon and I think the public would be onside with that," said public safety critic Wayne Easter.
"We've asked for a review [of the mission] in six months," he said, adding that since Parliament made its decision, Liberals have supported the troops.
"We will see where we go at that point of time."

Winner of the 2008 Canadian Christian Writing Award in the Young Adult category!
Why am I here? What is God’s plan for my life? Why did God make me the way I am? These are questions that everyone asks at some point in life, but especially teenagers. The teen years are a roller coaster---friends, boys, peer pressure, parents---where do you turn?
This book is written especially for teen girls who are searching for answers about life: girls who struggle with the desire to be themselves and the fear of being different. In particular, it is for Christian girls who want to know how to be unique in a world that praises conformity and who want to be Christ-like in a culture that is quick to label Christian teens as self-centered snobs or geeks.
Join Cj Carleton for a heart-to-heart talk about what it means to be a young Christian woman in today’s world. She draws from Scripture, her personal experiences growing up, and her years of working with teen girls just like you to help you build a firm foundation for your life in the truth of Christ and the Word of God. Let her challenge you through journaling and self-discovery. Get ready to learn about yourself and fulfill God’s purpose for His unique creation---you!
Get your autographed copy here!
"Cj's passion to reach teen girls for Christ is contagious! Her writing exemplifies her deepest longing to impart biblical truth to the next generation. What Makes You Unique? is a book that 'shoots from the hip' from an author who understands the who, what, why and how of a teen girl's journey. Not a book intended to spoon feed its reader, the truths in this book truly hit home as she encourages journaling and further study throughout each chapter. I highly recommend this book for all teen girls who seek to be strengthened, challenged and inspired to be all they were created to be. All in all, this is a book that strives to live out Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you will joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit".

A Conversation for Abu Simbel, Egypt
Researcher 171454 Started conversation Aug 2, 2001
Points to note if you want to visit Abu Simbel;
- The only way to reach Abu Simbel from tourist Egypt is by air.
Flights are regular from Aswan and are generally on a reasonably sized plane (737). The flight is very short; about 15 minutes.
- The small door next to the statues that leads into the artificial mountain is not open to the public any longer.
- Take a camera... it's worth it!
Cheerful Dragon Posted Sep 15, 2001
I presume that when you say 'tourist Egypt', you mean the parts where tourists spend a lot of time, like Luxor, Aswan and Cairo. It's true that you have to fly to Abu Simbel if all you're doing is a Nile cruise, for example. However, there are cruises on Lake Nasser which are well worth the extra cost. Having done one, I feel that the best way to get to Abu Simbel is via the Lake. That way you get to see it without having to pass the airport and the increasingly 'touristy' bits. The sight of the temple when approached from the Lake has much more impact.

Svetlovodsk or Svitlovodsk is a city located in Kirovograd region of Ukraine. It stands on the coast of Kremenchug water reservoir. The distance to Kirovograd is about 131 km by roads.
In 1961-1962, the city was called Khrushchev, and, in 1962-1969 - Kremges, because of the Kremenchug hydroelectric station (“KremGES”) located in the city. The present name “Svetlovodsk” means “light water”.
Population - 46,400 (2013).
Area code - +380 5236; postal code - 27500.
This area was first mentioned in the Kiev Chronicle (1190), as a place for hunting.
The historical predecessor of the town, Krylov fortified settlement was founded in June 1615. Krylov had a strategic position, controlling the area where two rivers intersected.
In 1822, Krylov was renamed Novo-Georgievsk.
Kremenchug hydroelectric station
Construction works for the station began in April 1954. The town was moved from the area, because it was flooded after the construction of the water reservoir.
Simultaneously with the construction of the hydroelectric power station, the construction of the settlement for station builders began.
Basic blocks of the settlement were placed along the Kremenchug water reservoir, at the high Taburischansk cape covered with forests.
More Historical Facts…
In 1956, the construction site of the Kremenchug hydroelectric station was visited by the famous Ukrainian movie director and writer Alexander Dovzhenko. In 1961, the village and Novo-Georgievsk town merged into one city.
The city was named Khrushchev - after Nikita Khrushchev, who, at that time, was the leader of the USSR.
It was done in spite of the fact that, according to Khrushchev’s initiative, it was forbidden to give cities names of Soviet leaders who were still alive.
In summer 1962, Khrushchev visited the new town. The next day newspapers came out with topics that the First Secretary of the CPSU Khrushchev visited KremGES town. It was the name of the town until 1969, when it was renamed Svetlovodsk.
Svetlovodsk street scenery
Svetlovodsk features and places of interest
Present day Svetlovodsk is a city of power generation with various enterprises, educational institutions. There are a lot of parks and forest plantations.
In the heart of the city, there is a recreation park named after T. Shevchenko with a monument to the poet.
The museum of Svetlovodsk is located in the house, where the Hero of Socialist Labor M.D. Karpov lived.
On the coast of the water reservoir, which locals call the sea, and below the hydro station, a lot of tourist centers can be found.
In the south and south-east, there are significant woodlands, and from the east - the Dnieper marshes with numerous fishing lakes and ponds.
In 1975, during the construction of Dnieper-Kirovograd water pipeline, an ancient tomb of Scythian culture dating back to the 4th-3rd centuries B.C. was discovered. Today, it is the archaeological monument of the region.
The cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko was born in this city in 1961.
The City Day is celebrated every first weekend in June.
Svetlovodsk coat of arms
The basis of the present coat of arms, approved in 2000, was taken from the ancient emblem of Krylov town.
The broken silver waves on the present emblem mean the creation of an artificial sea during the construction of the hydro station.

It was announced on Monday that German prosecutors have been requested by Germany’s financial watchdog, the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (FFSA) to investigate two former Volkswagen board members for their role in the emissions scandal that came to light in 2015. Whilst one of the members under investigation has not been named, it was revealed that the other under investigation is Martin Winterkorn. The German prosecutor’s office revealed that the investigation was focusing on “sufficient real signs” that Volkswagen had failed to alert investigators of the impending financial damage before the announcement of the scandal was made on September 22nd.
Audi also released news that concerned the effects of the scandal on its parent company, Volkswagen. Audi announced that its sale of diesel cars as a proportion of its total sales had slipped in the first four months of the year. The announcement comes as new data has been released that suggests that European consumers are moving away from diesel motors in favour of petrol and electric powered vehicles. This loss of market share in diesel sales has been heavily blamed on the loss of consumer trust that accompanied the news of the vast scale of the emissions scandal.

I thought it would be good to start with the smallest part of the project so I stitched the storage box together and it’s currently waiting for the epoxy / wood flour mixture at the joints. I might be over-thinking this (I’m an engineer, that’s what I do), but it seems like there is a lot of stress at the joints between the curved front panel and the side panels. I’m concerned about whether there will be any issues with the front panel trying to pop off at these side seams while it’s waiting for glass that would aid in holding the joint together.
Is this a legitimate concern, or should I stop worrying and just glue it up and go?
Fillets are VERY strong. Panels won’t pop off after that.
The box front cover was maybe the most difficult part of the project as far as getting the glue to hold once you cut off the wire stitches before fillets. Lots of stress and not a perfect fit. At least for me. Looked great in the end.
I’m not making the CLC tongue box but in area that needed to be held in place while the expoxy set up I used outdoor “deck” screws (from Home Depot). Some examples the finishing head screw clamped the galley flat stiffeners in place and were driven home and to use the manual’s term “entombed” them when I coated the surface with epoxy. Where the Galley gutter meets the transom I couldn’t get an even glue joint and used the washer head screws as temporaty clamps. Back them out and filled the holes with wood putty.
Even though the screws are self drilling I drilled pilot holes to avoid splitting the wood. I also did the fine tightening with a screwdriver to again avoid damaging the wood.


The car maker said yesterday the roll-out of the fix for the 3.0-litre V6 – it will also affect 165 vehicles yet to arrive in Australia, which will have their delivery delayed – is still pending government approval.
“Subject to approval of the proposed technical software update by the relevant authorities, the recall is expected to commence in Europe in the European autumn 2017, with an Australian voluntary recall to follow as soon as possible thereafter,” Porsche Cars Australia said.
“PCA will take a responsible approach towards its customers. It is of great importance to PCA that customer expectations regarding quality, integrity and service are met to the fullest extent.”
Cayennes caught up in the recall were built between August 22, 2014 and July 27, 2017. The vehicles were banned from sale in Germany in response to the scandal.
“All affected vehicles remain safe to drive and may continue to be driven as normal,” Porsche said. “When the proposed technical software update is available, all owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by their official Porsche Centre to arrange the free software update, which should take around one hour.
“PCA will work constructively with the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development and all other relevant parties to implement the voluntary software update.”
Sister brand Audi is yet to roll out a recall for 3.0-litre V6 diesel engines used in its products, although it has announced a fix for the EA186 1.6- and 2.0-litre diesel engines also scooped up in the Dieselgate scandal.
Adding Porsche’s previously undisclosed Dieselgate numbers pushes the number of Volkswagen Group recalls tied to the scandal to more than 100,000 vehicles in Australia.
The first fix – made to almost 9000 2.0-litre engines used in the Volkswagen Amarok trade ute – gained government approval in January last year.
Volkswagen Group Australia says it has received government approval to make mechanical and software changes to VW-badged vehicles to ensure they meet emissions ratings.

The company bought Al Bayan Purification And Bottled Water, along with Shaklan Plastic Manufacturing, and the Omani firm Al Manal Purification And Bottling Mineral Water, for undisclosed amounts. In a stock exchange filing, Agthia said it expected to close all three deals this month.
Acquisition boosts five-gallon market share
According to media reports, the acquisitions will propel Agthia, which owns the Al Ain and Alpin bottled water brands, to second place in the five-gallon bulk water market. Currently the firm controls around a quarter of the UAE bottled water sector.
“We are very excited to merge our strengths with those of Al Bayan. As a major player in the five-gallon bottled water segment in the UAE, Al Bayan is an excellent strategic fit for Agthia, further consolidating our leading position in the UAE water market,” said Agthia group CEO Iqbal Hamzah.
“Al Bayan’s manufacturing capabilities in the Northern Emirates and Oman with an established brand and sales and distribution infrastructure, coupled with Agthia’s manufacturing expertise, sales and marketing knowledge, and its iconic brands, will help unlock the growth potential of the combined business,” he added.
Drive to the north
Although based in the UAE, Al Bayan has a factory in Oman, and will allow Agthia to expand beyond its current Abu Dhabi-based production base, as well as acquire new customers in the UAE and Oman.
“The Al Bayan Group has grown strongly in the last few years and has diversified business interests. The move to sell our water business across UAE and Oman, is an integral part of our business strategy as it will help focus our efforts towards growing our retail and hospitality businesses. We are pleased that our water business will thrive under the ownership of the Agthia Group,” said A. K. Mansoor, chairman and managing director of Al Bayan.
Agthia chairman Dhafer Ayed Al Ahbabi said: “Al Bayan is a natural fit for Agthia and it complements our portfolio of water brands. This acquisition will further reinforce our leading position in the bottled water category in the UAE, and is a demonstration of our commitment to deliver sustainable profitable growth for our shareholders.”
In 2014 Agthia added new production lines to its Al Ain water operation, increasing capacity by 62% and reducing plastic consumption in the process. In the first six months of this year, the firm saw a 30% increase in sales of Al Ain five-gallon bottles, partly driven by a new online ordering service.
In its first-half results, Agthia recorded 11% sales growth and 20% profit growth compared to the same period last year.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday slammed a reporter urging her about the security of Supreme Court justices after the assassination attempt on Associate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
A reporter has urged her to protect the judges after Nicholas Roske, 26, was arrested and charged with attempted murder on Wednesday after allegedly carrying at least one gun and burglary tools down the street from the house of Kavanaugh in Montgomery County, Maryland, at 1:50 a.m. He allegedly confessed to authorities that he wanted to kill the judge.
“How can you say the judges are protected when there was an assassination attempt on Judge Kavanaugh?” asked the reporter. “You said judges are protected but there was an assassination attempt on Judge Kavanaugh.”
“And he’s protected,” Pelosi said. “He is protected. This problem does not concern the judges, but the staff and the rest. Judges are protected, you’ve even seen the Attorney General double down on that.
“But it’s a matter of security for the judges and a gunman showed up near Judge Kavanaugh’s house to try to kill him,” the journalist insisted. (RELATED: Liberals Crash Over Bipartisan Security Protection Bill)
“We are working together on the bill that the Senate can approve,” Pelosi replied. “We can pass whatever we want here, we want it to pass the Senate. So I don’t know what you’re talking about because obviously you haven’t seen what the debate [and] the language is. There will be an invoice but nobody is in danger during the weekend because we don’t have an invoice.
The Senate unanimously passed a bipartisan bill that seeks to extend 24-hour security protections to judges’ families in early May, as pro-abortion activists staged protests outside judges’ homes across the country. subject of leaked majority opinion draft set to overturn Roe v. Wade. House Democrats blocked the legislation, saying security protections should be extended to court clerks and staff.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell urged Democrats to pass the bill in a speech Wednesday in response to the assassination attempt.
“House Democrats need to pass this bill and they need to do it today,” McConnell said. “No more messing with this, they need to get it through today. They need to end their weeks-long blockade of the Supreme Court security bill and pass it before the sun goes down. today.

Ashley Graham and Shay Mitchell have candidly spoken about their struggles with depression during pregnancy.
The model is expecting her first child, a son, with husband Justin Ervin later this month, while Pretty Little Liars star Shay welcomed her daughter Atlas Noa with boyfriend Matte Babel back in October.
The pair recently took part in a discussion about the highs and lows of pregnancy during an episode of Ashley's podcast Pretty Big Deal, and the 32-year-old confessed she could've been dealing with a form of prenatal depression.
"I want to talk about this, because I can't say definitely that I went through it, but I can say that I might have gone through something like it," Ashley began, before revealing that she and Justin were surprised by her pregnancy because they weren't trying for a baby. "Then all of the sudden, my emotions, my mind, my body, things that I always had control over are now totally out of whack. I can't talk to anybody about it, my husband doesn't understand but he's trying to be as supportive as possible. My mom is like, 'Oh you'll be fine.' I think I was spiralling a little bit and I was crying a lot."
Shay, who had gone through an intense 33-hour labour before little Atlas was born, agreed with Ashley, and revealed she also suffered something similar.
"I mean every single thing that you just said is exactly what I went through," the actress recalled. "My mom said the same thing, and I'd be crying to her and she'd be like, 'You're just emotional, it's just the hormones.' And O.K. cool it might be, but you don't want to hear that. Like, yes, it is. If it is the hormones, I'm still feeling that way. It doesn't take away from this feeling, and it's completely isolating."
Finding common ground in their shared experience, Shay, 32, urged other pregnant women to talk about their feelings with loved ones.
"I heard so much about postpartum which is also a real thing, but I'd never heard about prepartum depression," she added.

A unique show that combines equestrian prowess with circus arts and multimedia effects, Cavalia has conquered wide audiences around the world. When Cavalia was first created, our partner Pierre Léonard and his team had developed the show’s name and visual expression, as well as the promotional material used to launch Cavalia in Canada, the U.S. and Europe.
Cavalia came to BrandBourg to create the visual identity of its second show, Odysseo, presented under the greatest touring circus tent in the world.

John Cena visits the Kentucky Wildcats [September 20th, 2014]
Since the WWE is in Lexington, Kentucky today, WWE Superstar John Cena visited the greatest college basketball team in the world, The Kentucky Wildcats. These shots made my day that much better, and made me even more of a Cena fan.

Re: 285 v. 305 predicament
I'm running 305 kevlar mtrs on a 16" wheel. I have the light racing UCA and the OME heavies. even with my caster pushed forward to 4 degrees, I had rub on the BMC.
I REALLY like the look of the 305s!! Now the biggest problem I have run into is the spare tire mount. I have the metal tech rear bumper and it actually does not allow for clearance of a bigger tire, ive read even 285s have issues. I have a local shop building me a custom spare tire mount which should FINALLY be resolved tomorrow... Since you have an older model FJ, you can just flip the mount, I believe 2009 and up have the rear view cameras so its not so easy.

So we're back on the uniform bandwagon today and as luck would have it, we're now legal.
But the funny thing about being legal is that it's not all you thought it was, just like the Falcons' #18 winner, Mick Luckhurst.
Luckhurst is a name I've seen floated around this blog a time or two and for good reason: he wasn't particularly awesome, yet he stuck around for multiple contracts. He was, however, one of the few British-born NFL players and played with the Falcons for the entirety of his NFL career.
For his career, Luckhurst was 8/16 from 50+. To compare, our own Money Matt Bryant was 7/10 from 50+ last year.
Luckhurst also missed 3 XP's in his career with us. Money Matt? (/knock on wood) None, at least with us. Truthfully, I didn't know much about Luckhurst prior to this post so I did some digging. Prior to Morten Anderson's arrival, Luckhurst was the team's leading scorer with well over 500 points. Morten Andersen now holds the team's point record with 804.
Money Matt is in 2nd place with a toasty (gulp) 666 points. Yeah.
Aside from Luckhurst there really wasn't a whole lot going on at #18. You might remember Freddie Martino, who currently wears #18 for the Falcons. He hasn't accrued much in the way of stats, but he's the current holder of the number.
Bruce Lemmerman was the first person to wear #18 for the team. Don't go back and look at his stats. Just don't.
Many of you may remember Wade Wilson's brief appearance for the Falcons. He only played a single year with us, yet his numbers were actually quite good. He appeared in 9 games, starting 3. Check out this stat line:
68.1% Comp., 1,366 Yds, 13 TD 4 INT
Which, if played out over the course of a Dirk Koetter-era 625 passing attempt offense, parlays itself into the following:
68.1% Comp., 5,237 Yds, 50 TD 15 INT
...or better than any season that not only Matt Ryan has ever had, but nearly any quarterback ever. Naturally, sports do not work out this way, but I figured it'd be a neat addition to the post.
Share your memories of Mick Luckhurst and Wade Wilson in the comments below!

My vicious fantasies of Mr. Darcy—and, I would imagine, those of thousands of other like-minded, libidinous, and literary females—never include fighting off a horde of oozing zombies. And is it any wonder? Did you ever wonder how, say, Great Expectations would have fared with the addition of a vampiric epidemic tainting Pip’s England? How about if Captain Nemo, on top of having to deal with one hell of a big whale, also had to deal with a boatload of harpies? And not just regular harpies, poison spitting harpies. Yeah, those thoughts never crossed my mind either.
Perhaps that’s what makes Seth Grahame-Smith…different. In his novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the Huffington Post blogger, TV screenplay writer, and quirk aficionado slathers a lurching zombie narrative onto the arguably delightful-enough-already-thanks Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice. It’s novel, I guess, to say the least. But for someone who’s read the original—dare I say it—masterpiece five times and seen the eight-part BBC miniseries more times than you can say “unhealthy costume drama addiction,” Grahame-Smith’s unfortunate re-write is sheer drivel.
Oh sure, Mr. Darcy is just as dashing whilst slaying the “unmentionables.” And one still applauds Elizabeth for turning down her legions of suitors while brandishing a variety of sharpened blades—hellloooo, phallic imagery. But the addition of zombies adds nothing to Austen’s utterly legit chick-lit. Grahame-Smith demeans the story into a juvenile blood-and-guts romp for those who aren’t able to deal with the original on its own terms.
Thousands of trees sacrificed themselves in the making of this novel. Though I doubt it’ll go into a reprint, don’t support the slaughter buy purchasing this idiotic—though, undoubtedly quirky—piece of butchery.

Here we go. This is it. This is the moment I decided to not only draw my writing from Hobby to Career, but it’s also the moment where I committed to my dreams. Yes, at any moment I could pull the plug, run away and go into my own personal witness protection… but that’s for cowards.
I’m no coward. I’m the daughter of a fairy, who was the daughter of a great witch who came from a line of grand dragons. My heritage and magic runs deep and writing is the raw essence of my soul. Even if I were to become a reclusive hermit I would always write. I’m compelled by forces beyond me to do it. The images of my mind cycle over and over and over again, fed to me by my chubby little daemon until it’s finally written.
There is nothing I love so much as writing and drawing. I love the very act of transferring my thoughts to yours. By that means my magic can possibly touch your heart and soul. I can feed and nurture those who need hope. I can hold the hand of those who need courage. I can give love to those who are in pain. That is the power and the magic of writing.
These stories, in particular, are part of my soul.
These tales, their deep histories, their interwoven threads and reflections come directly from my heart. They deliver the lessons that are quintessential for living life harmoniously and I can only dream that they will offer your as much solace as they have offered me.
So… come along with me. Take my hand. Let me guide you to a world of wonder, excitement and magic. Let me show you how people can be happy and how we can all live with love in every action we do.
Merry part and merry meet again.
