It is wedding season and we are very happy to be able to dress so many brides that trust Rosa Clará for such a special day. Thank you #rosaclarabrides !
Today we dedicate this article to post wedding photo-sessions. Are you thinking of doing a photo-session and want some ideas? Raquel Canseco from blog Dorothy Red Shoes wanted to make an editorial with two of our dresses and we love it. She made an amazing choice!
It is an editorial inspired by the retro 60s and 70s; on the other hand she wanted to recreate a fun and carefree girl in a Martini Party and then a completely opposite girl, a much more sophisticated bride in a luxury hotel. Here we share with you the photos so you can be inspired!

History was made this morning with the announcement of Jay Z as a 2017 inductee into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
The rap mogul becomes the first rapper to be chosen for the prestigious honor, leading a class that includes Max Martin, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Motown founder Berry Gordy, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and three members of Chicago.
Famed producer and musician Nile Rodgers announced the inductees Wednesday on “CBS This Morning.”
Regarding the choice of Jay Z, Rodgers said, “It’s massive. He has changed the way that we listen to music. He’s changed the way that we have fun.”
Rodgers said Hov “was in a space where, even though he’s had more pop albums than anyone else, because he did it through rap,” it took longer for traditional voters to consider him.
Following the announcement, Warner/Chappell Chairman & CEO Jon Platt praised Jay Z’s achievement in a memo to staff:
“Since his debut album, Reasonable Doubt, was released over two decades ago, it’s been an incredible honor to work with the greatest MC of all time as he continues to achieve the unprecedented. Today, his songwriting is celebrated with a new, landmark achievement: being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
With this announcement, Jay is also the first rap artist to ever be inducted into the SHOF. This is an enormous accomplishment for Jay, as well as on behalf of fellow hip-hop songwriters everywhere, as he takes his place alongside past inductees and legends, ranging from Bob Dylan to Stevie Wonder, and Marvin Gaye to Lennon & McCartney.”
Equally impressive are the remaining 2017 inductees. Gordy contributed countless songs for his legendary stable of Motown artists. Babyface’s handiwork has yielded 16 No. 1s, from Madonna’s “Take a Bow” to Boyz II Men’s “End of the Road.”
Jam & Lewis have written and produced hits for Janet Jackson, New Edition, Michael Jackson, Gwen Stefani, Usher, Mary J. Blige and Mariah Carey, among others.
Martin holds the distinction of having written or co-written 22 No. 1 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, third only to John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Chicago members of Robert Lamm, James Pankow and Peter Cetera have a list of classic rock staples including “Saturday in the Park” and “If You Leave Me Now.”
The Hall’s 48th Annual Induction and Awards Dinner will take place June 15 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. Additional special award honorees will be announced in the coming days.

Faculty Senate Distinguished Service Award
Dr. Mary Natvig, musicology, is an expert on the history of music, but her contributions to students, the University and the College of Musical Arts are thoroughly modern and forward-thinking. Her longtime commitment and dedication earned her the 2017 Faculty Senate Distinguished Service Award.
Presented at the Faculty Excellence Awards on April 13, the honor included a $1,000 cash prize and a reserved parking spot for a year.
Natvig joined the University in 1990 as an assistant professor of musicology and rose to full professor over the next several years. She has gone far beyond her academic discipline in thinking about the overall improvement of undergraduate curriculum, mentoring and advising, community support for the arts, and in participating in efforts to advance all those areas.
Her service also extends to the community, where she frequently shares her skill as a violinist with local chamber ensembles, pit orchestras and church services. She has been involved with local social service organizations, and has organized student performances at nursing homes and other venues.
“Her most recent initiative in our college is to host a food pantry for students who for various financial reasons might need occasional assistance,” wrote nominators Dr. William Mathis, dean of the College of Musical Arts, and Dr. Marilyn Shrude, Distinguished Artist Professor.
Her support of students and the arts extends to all majors.
“It may not be common knowledge,” Mathis and Shrude added, “but Dr. Natvig with the guidance of Dean Richard Kennell masterminded a brilliant strategy to establish a living/learning community in one of our residence halls, which is now known as Arts Village. It was their shared vision that dared to bring this dream to reality. She served as the first director and has been a source of support and guidance throughout its years of existence.”
“As one of the first living/learning communities, there was no template from which Dr. Natvig worked,” recalled Steven Boone, theatre and film. “Instead she guided the community into its place at BGSU through personal drive and a sense of what the arts in higher education could be.”
Natvig has been among those at the University leading the retooling of the general education curriculum and has worked tirelessly on behalf of undergraduate students, her nominators wrote. She has served on about 25 committees directly affecting undergraduates, from the Undergraduate Council to Strategic Enrollment Management.
Her detailed and thoughtful work has “contributed meaningfully and importantly to the mission of Bowling Green State University and has distinguished our program from others around the country as one highly focused on the continuous improvement of undergraduate student learning,” wrote Dr. Julie Matuga, associate vice provost for institutional effectiveness.
“University colleagues with whom she has worked have attested to her outstanding leadership, creative vision and intrepid fortitude in carving out experiences that continue to enhance and support undergraduate education at BGSU,” said Mathis and Shrude.
As a teacher, she possesses the “quintessential qualities of a great college professor,” said Tom Gorman, assistant dean in the College of Health and Human Services. “I had the good fortune of being paired with Dr. Natvig as the ‘staff partner’ instructor for BGSU 1000. The goal of this freshman transition course was to assist first-year students with the basics of college life. Dr. Natvig provided much more. Her students were required to read and respond to questions about the meaning of art and music in our culture, and discuss the responsibility of a creative person to his or her community. She required students to think beyond their immediate young adult goals and envision how their life choices would impact their families, communities, and our society. She also brought in guests to discuss a wide range of careers in the performing arts – and not just artists. . . . As an observer and a colleague, I learned a lot from Dr. Natvig’s dedication. It was a good example, helping to improve my own interactions with students, and reminding me of the primary relationship at the heart of our university: the relationship between student and professor.”
When the College of Musical Arts found itself in need of more general education courses, Natvig stepped up to teach innumerable sections of Exploring Music and Music of World Cultures, said Mathis and Shrude, establishing those courses as vital and popular offerings for all majors. And then when it became important to offer online classes, she developed and taught those classes online. “Her indomitable spirit of ‘we CAN and WILL do this’ inspires her to strategically imagine a pathway to eventual realization.”
Her devotion to her students goes outside the classroom as well, said Dawn Hubbell-Staeble, general studies writing. She is an excellent and caring adviser who often works with students on the weekends from a table in a local coffee shop, helping them not only with academic but also life concerns.
Her “outstanding loyalty and overwhelming generosity” over the last 27 years have made her a most deserving recipient of the Distinguished Service Award, all her nominators agreed.

Oscar B. "Ossie" Schectman (born May 30, 1919) is a retired American professional basketball player. He is credited with having scored the very first basket in the National Basketball Association (NBA), at that time the Basketball Association of America. He was born in Kew Gardens, Queens, New York, United States.
Basketball career
He later played both guard and forward at Long Island University, then a powerhouse under coach Clair Bee. He was a member of the undefeated 1939 NIT and National Championship team. In 1941, he was named Converse first team All-America.
After graduating LIU, Schectman joined Eddie Gottlieb's Philadelphia Sphas in the American Basketball League. The Sphas had started as a barnstorming team (their nickname stood for the South Philadelphia Hebrew Association), but they joined the ABL in 1933 and thereafter, dominated the league. The Sphas won the league championship in his second season (1942–43), and the following year, he finished second in the league in scoring with 199 points (10.5 average).
Schectman remained with the Sphas until 1946 (they won another championship in 1944–45), and then joined a new league called the Basketball Association of America (predecessor of the NBA).
On November 1, 1946, in the opening game of the fledgling Basketball Association of America (BAA), Ossie Schectman scored the opening basket for the New York Knickerbockers against the Toronto Huskies. Schectman and his teammates Sonny Hertzberg, Stan Stutz, Hank Rosenstein, Ralph Kaplowitz, Jake Weber, and Leo "Ace" Gottlieb went on to win the opening game 68–66 and finish the season with a 33–27 record. In 1949, the BAA became the National Basketball Association (NBA), and Schectman's shot is considered the first basket in the NBA.
In 1946–47 (his only year in the NBA), Schectman played in 54 games for the Knicks and was third in the league with 2.0 assists per game.
After that season, Schectman decided to abandon the NBA. He returned to the ABL, and in the 1947–48 season, he was named All-ABL first team while leading the Paterson Crescents to the championship series.
Halls of Fame
Schectman is prominently featured in the documentary film The First Basket, about Jewish basketball history. He was inducted into the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 1998 and the Long Island University Athletic Hall of Fame in 2001. He is also a member of the New York City Basketball Hall of Fame.

6 Retirement Planning Pitfalls to Avoid
For anyone who is preparing for retirement, maybe you’re not sure where to begin, or you made a budget a few years ago and haven’t followed up on it. Use these key areas to help you get on track with your retirement goals and to avoid falling into retirement planning pitfalls.
1. Not saving enough: For anyone who has been working at their job for a number of years, one thing you want to do is maximize how much you set aside in your 401(k)s, as well as your individual retirement account, (IRA). You can also invest in a 403b, 457, or even a SEP-IRA. Because the government lets you contribute a little bit more money every year, you want to make sure you keep up on the maximum amount allowed so you can increase your savings accordingly. For 2015, you can put away up to $18,000 into your 401k. Keep in mind, too, that many employers offer 401k matching so it can really pay to save for retirement.
2. Spending Too Much on Junk: If you’re concerned that you’re not going to have enough to live on if you step up your retirement savings, the best way to addresses this is to look at your monthly bills. You want to:
- decrease your credit card debt
- cut back on expensive cable and/or phone bills
- cut down on any extra monthly spending that you do
The money that you start to save right away can be the extra income you need to make up for what you’re contributing to your 401(k) and your IRA.
3. Not Creating a Budget and Not Cutting Your Fees: Because there can sometimes be hidden fees that you may not be aware of that you’re paying for each month, you want to write out all of your bills and start a budget. You then want to examine each bill’s line item of charges to uncover any hidden fees for services you’re not using. For example, many vehicle insurance plans offer roadside assistance…for a fee. However, you may also be paying for a roadside assistance plan through your mobile phone. If you know what you’re dealing with, you can simply cancel the most expensive roadside assistance plan…and still be covered while saving money. And, most importantly, make sure you’re not paying late fees. Even if a late fee is $5 a month for each bill, this can quickly add up to about $500 a year or more. Also try to get better rates on your credit cards and cheaper phone plans. All you have to do is ask. You’d be surprised at what a company will offer to help keep your valued business.
4. Overspending: You also want to ensure that you’re not spending excessive fees on things like movies. Because there are so many ways to stream content for movies and get free TV, it can pay to look into this. Saving for retirement is all about being smart and cutting back now so you don’t have to cut back later on. Look into Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu for movies. Cut the cable cord and consider investing in a Roku or similar device, which is a streaming player that can help you to get the same movies. A Roku is about $60 and there’s no monthly fee. Even if you add in Netflix and Hulu, that’s about $16 a month.
That also might mean you want to stop throwing your credit cards around like cash. The problem is while you might think you are the life of the party, you’re also getting hit with all of the bills and all of the potential fees. If you can stop using your cards and carry cash, you’ll actually spend less.
5. Tapping into Your 401k: Some people think that a 401(k) means you have an extra reserve of cash, but you have to remember that if you take any money out prior to the age of 59 1/2, you will have to pay the Internal Revenue Service a 10% penalty fee. You will also have to pay tax on that income. Once you’ve invested money in your 401(k), keep that money in your 401(k).
6. Not Re-balancing Your Portfolio Regularly: According to Investopedia, portfolio re-balancing “is the process of buying and selling portions of your portfolio in order to set the weight of each asset class back to its original state.” Re-balancing makes sense to do every now and then because different investments invariably perform differently, month after month, year after year. Some go up, some go down, which changes your original portfolio allocations. Allocations are made according to your investment goals and risk tolerances, so it’s also important to take another look if your life circumstances change. For example, if you get a new job or promotion, you may be able to take more risk and you’ll want to adjust your allocations accordingly.
Lastly, it’s important to work with an expert to help make sure you’ll be set for a secure future when you’re ready to retire. A retirement income planning specialist is a good place to start and can help you make the most out of your nest egg including your IRA, your 401(k), pensions, Social Security, your portfolio, and estate planning needs.

My primary medium is pastel and subjects are varied. In the early stages I painted everything I owned in a realistic style. The inventory series is piles of colorful items staying in one place. Lately I am reaching for the sky with flying birds and searching for the depths of the sea with the underwater series of colorful fish.
I am painting movement and change. Nothing stays the same everything is continually moving one-way or the other. I try to capture that fleeting moment, the freedom. The direction has been from water to wind.
My intention is to bring color to the world and take art where it is needed most. I paint large murals, Healing Walls, in hospitals and other health facilities. I believe art brings freedom for the mind if one cannot literally have it otherwise. With my work I like to share joy and adventure.

Air bow legislation passes Senate, heads to Gov. Whitmer
Wednesday the Michigan Senate approved a bill sponsored by State Rep. Beau LaFave, of Iron Mountain, that will open more hunting opportunities for hunters with and without physical disabilities.
LaFave’s measure, House Bill 4332, would allow the use of air-powered bows for all hunters during firearm season. Hunters with specific disabilities outlined in the bill will be able to apply for a permit from the Department of Natural Resources to use air-powered bows during bow season. His plan received overwhelming bipartisan support from the House and Senate. It now goes to Gov. Whitmer for her signature or veto.
LaFave explained that air bows use compressed air to launch arrows and can be used with one hand if needed, helping those who are unable to hold, aim and shoot a traditional bow or crossbow. The approval of this legislation will greatly benefit Michigan residents living with disabilities, he said.
“Technology has advanced and can help hunters with physical limitations more than ever before,” LaFave said. “Michigan has a multitude of hunting options, but for those with less than two perfectly-functional hands, there is no realistic and legal opportunity to hunt during bow season.”
LaFave, a lifelong hunter and fisherman, was born without a portion of one leg and only full use of one arm. He said this legislation is not only for people with a birth defect such as himself, or for those who were wounded serving our county overseas, but for all Michigan hunters that will be allowed to use air bows during firearm season if Whitmer doesn’t veto the bill.
“We’re losing hunters year after year,” LaFave said. “This technology will keep more hunters in the field longer, reinvigorate hunters that can’t hunt due to injury or disability, increase exposure to Michigan’s great outdoors, and provide an opportunity for those who can’t operate a crossbow. It’s also a win for our businesses that will attract new customers and sales. I hope the governor will do the right thing for Michigan’s hunters, natural resources, and people with disabilities by not vetoing HB 4332.”

How typical that in a week in which the rest of Wales is worrying about what further reductions to the Welsh Budget the Tory party will unveil on Wednesday, our out of touch Secretary of State should choose to make a speech on the constitution.
David Jones is right, of course, to say that Wales is a stronger country as part of the United Kingdom, but instead of giving patronising lectures to the Welsh Labour Government he should have used tonight’s speech to remind George Osborne that Wales’ budget has already been cut by 8.7% or £1.4 billion, and to announce the borrowing powers Welsh Labour needs to invest in our future success.

Nuclear receptor 4A1 (NR4A1) antagonists induce ROS-dependent inhibition of mTOR signaling in endometrial cancer
- Additional Document Info
- View All
OBJECTIVES: NR4A1 is overexpressed in many solid tumors, and the objectives of this study were to investigate the expression and functional role of this receptor in endometrial cancer cells and demonstrate that NR4A1 antagonist inhibit mTOR. METHODS: Ishikawa and Hec-1B endometrial cells were used as models to investigate the parallel effects of NR4A1 knockdown by RNA interference (siNR4A1) and treatment with bis-indole-derived NR4A1 ligands (antagonists) on cell growth and survival by determining cell numbers and effects on Annexin V staining. Western blot analysis of whole cell lysates was used to determine effects of these treatments on expression of growth promoting, survival and apoptotic genes and mTOR signaling. Effects of NR4A1 antagonists on tumor growth were determined in athymic nude mice bearing Hec-1B cells as xenografts. RESULTS: siNR4A1 or treatment with bis-indole-derived NR4A1 antagonists inhibited growth of endometrial cancer cells in vitro and endometrial tumors in vivo and this was accompanied by decreased expression of growth promoting and survival genes and mTOR inhibition. CONCLUSIONS: NR4A1 exhibited pro-oncogenic activity in endometrial cells due, in part, to regulation of cell growth, survival and mTOR signaling, and all of these pathways and their associated gene products were inhibited after treatment with bis-indole-derived NR4A1 antagonists. Moreover, these compounds also blocked endometrial tumor growth in vivo demonstrating that NR4A1 is a potential novel drug target for treatment of endometrial cancer.

Blade isn't that old a game but it is amazing how uninteresting and uninnovative it is as a game.

What is a thermal analysis software for cast iron?
TCAST represents today the most advance tool to conduct a specific analysis of the solidification process of cast iron.
Such tool allows to verify real time the quality of cast iron and to provide the necessary information to promptly improve it.
What does TCAST calculate?
TCAST calculates and registers the cooling curve and its first derivative from the eutectic reaction to the eutectoidic transformation.
Key temperatures and key parameters necessary for the qualitative analysis of cast iron are immediately elaborated and displayed on TCAST.
The parameters are exclusively based on the foundry specific data to verify how good your alloys are, given the type of cast iron you want to produce.
What are the advantages in installing and implementing TCAST?
The qualitative analysis done in the foundry of all types of cast iron (grey iron, ductile iron, high-alloy cast iron, austempered ductile iron) allows to monitor and correct in real time the related production. The qualitative control done at the beginning of the production process allows to reduce as much as possible the production time and the possible scraps when forming the final casting.
The real time control of the qualitative analysis from anywhere inside the foundry is made possible by the connection of the software to the company web service. Such connection allows the monitoring and the correction in real time of the current production directly from the foundry laboratory or qualitative department.
The transfer of all data related to the analysis, the centralized storage of all data, the possibility to conduct advanced statistical analysis on such data and to elaborate specific report of each analysis allow to enhance even more the control and the monitoring of the quality of the cast iron over time and to provide a greater guarantee of the quality of cast iron produced for the final client.
The guaranteed remote technical assistance (metallurgical assistance and software assistance) allows the foundry to be assisted each step of the way when integrating the thermal analysis in its quality control process.

Country singer and music icon Dolly Parton has officially responded to Beyoncé covering her famous song, "Jolene."
On Wednesday, Beyoncé revealed the tracklist for her upcoming country record Cowboy Carter, posting a poster-style picture listing all 27 songs on her Instagram. To the delight of many, the list includes a version if Parton's iconic 1973 single "Jolene."
Parton herself responded to the revelation, re-sharing the post to her Instagram stories while encouraging her fans to listen to the OG version while they (impatiently) wait for Queen B's cover.
"Listen to my original 'Jolene' while you wait for @Beyonce’s COWBOY CARTER - Dolly P," Parton wrote on the post, and in addition to sharing the same sentiment (along with Beyonce's tracklist and a throwback photograph of herself in 1973) on X, formerly known as Twitter.
A photo posted by beyonce on
As Entertainment Tonight reports, Parton's original version of the hit track has been streamed on Spotify more than 600 million times. In other words, decades later, the song is still incredibly popular and able to deeply resonate with fans, both old and new.
In fact, Queen B's faithful fans were quick to show Parton some love after she revealed she was covering "Jolene," taking to the comments on Beyoncé's Instagram post to prove just how excited they are for the "Single Ladies" singer's rendition.
"The legends Dolly P and Bey laaawwwwddddd," one fan commented.
"I have wanted Jolene from you for years I cannot wait," another wrote.
"This album is about to …baby she’s bout to cut Jolene UP," wrote another excited fan.
A photo posted by beyonce on
In a previous interview with Knox News, Parton said she thought Beyoncé has recorded a new version of "Jolene."
"Well, I think she has! I think she's recorded 'Jolene' and I think it's probably gonna be on her country album, which I'm very excited about that," she said at the time. "I love her! She's a beautiful girl and a great singer. We've kind of sent messages back and forth through the years. And she and her mother were like fans, and I was always touched that they were fans, and I always thought she was great."
Parton is not the only famous country star who appears on Beyoncé's upcoming album's tracklist—icons Willie Nelson and Linda Martell's names also appear, though it is unclear if that means they will be singing on the album.
Cowboy Carter is scheduled to be released on March 29, so mark your calendars.

New Zealand will be the guest of honour nation at the 2012 Frankfurt Book Fair, the oldest and largest such event in the world.
Last year, 280,000 people from 124 countries went to the event, which also incorporates music, film, architecture and other arts.
New Zealand is spending $1.8 million to showcase arts ahead of, and during, next year's the five-day fair.
The money is coming from the Ministry of Culture and Heritage's cultural diplomacy programme and a planning team has already been set up, headed by former Telecom chief executive Theresa Gattung.
The contract sealing New Zealand's special status was signed on Thursday.
The fair's director, Juergen Boos, says the guest of honour role will be beneficial for both New Zealand and Germany.
He says New Zealand is associated with scenery and sport but much less is known about its literature.
Arts Minister Chris Finlayson says the government wants to show the country is open for business after what were high-profile natural disasters.

It was Yishun Safra Running Club’s turn to host and organise the annual inter-club road relay. The road relay was held at Yishun Park, just a stone’s throw away from the Yishun Safra Clubhouse.
We went for a warm up jog to familiarize ourselves with the 1.6km race route. It was a challenging route, hilly and undulating. Go out too fast right from the start, and you will find yourself huffing and puffing up the slopes towards the end.
Same as last year, each team consist of 10 members. However, the formation of the team was somewhat different this year. The first two runners were the Men’s Masters Seniors (50 years & above), followed by two Men’s Senior Veterans (45 years & above), one Woman Veteran (35 years & above), one Male Veteran (40 years & above), two Women’s Open (below 35 years) and lastly two Men’s Open (below 35 years).
Jurong Safra sent it three teams altogether. As we have too many runners under the Men’s Open category, many of them were not able to participate. Still, it was heartening to see them travelling all the way to Yishun just to be our cheerleaders.
It was rather exciting when we flagged off the veterans runners, starting with the Masters Senior category. The uncles could fly! I thought our veterans, Vincent Yang and Chris Chang were fast for their age, but the seniors from the other clubs, especially Tampines were even faster! With a couple of them finishing the hilly mile run in under 6 mins! Our team was ranked 6th when Freddy passed the baton to Ping. Ping did not disappoint us, she caught up with a couple of female runners and our position was pushed up to 4th when she passed the baton to Siva, our representative for Male Veteran.
Then, Siva overtook one runner ahead and finished his run in about 6:01 min. We were getting more excited as we were now third in position. Tampines was currently 1st with a couple of minutes lead ahead. It gotta be tough to catch up with them. In 2nd place was team Toa Payoh.
Pey Ling shot off after she got the baton from Siva. I waited nervously near the start line. Tampines was still leading by a good margin when their first female runner for Women’s Open returned. They have a well-balanced and strong mix of veterans, males and females’ runners. Then Ezann (representing Toa Payoh’s Women’s Open) got her baton too and started her run not long after. Less than a minute later, I could see Peyling running down the slope from afar and I quickly went onto the transition area. She has closed up the gap with Toa Payoh by a bit and and it seemed possible to catch up with them to fight for a 2nd place.
My target was a sub 6 min run for the 1 mile. However, the moment I started running, all was forgotten about the time, but to chase and catch up with Ezann. At first, I thought she was quite far ahead since I could not see her at all. But after a bend, it was a straight path, and there she was! I got really excited. Adrenaline pumping, I tried to speed up a bit to close the gap.
Knowing that there were a couple of hills to tackle in the middle portion, I controlled my pace, to gradually closed the gap bit by bit. Then came the longest and steepest incline. Ezann seemed to be slowing down. She was a bit lost too, not knowing exactly which path to take. I pressed on, determined to catch her before the end of the race.
As I huffed and puffed up the hill, I heard Stella cheering for me. I trudged on, and was welcome with plenty of cheers from Jurong Safra friends. Ezann was just a few metres ahead of me now. I pushed some more to overtake her just before reaching the top of the hill.
It was the last stretch home, with plenty of down slopes. Heart pumping wildly, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, hoping to shave as many seconds as I could for the team. Made a sharp right turn and I could see the transition area just ahead, where Jackie was waiting for my baton. We fumbled once or twice, and glad he managed to grab the baton from me without dropping it. And off he went in lightning speed.
Checked the time the moment I stopped. Yay! A sub 6mins mile run achieved. 5:54 min in fact according to the time keeper. =D
Jackie was fast, finishing in 5:39 min maintaining our 2nd placing. Yiyang our anchor runner finished off the run nicely in 5:15 min. Jurong Safra was 2nd overall, with a total time of 1:01:06, just a minute behind the champions, Tampines Safra, who clocked an impressive 1:00:10.

An hour across Rajasthan’s Thar Desert, lurching on camels through sand the color of dirty gold, we reach an elaborate temple and 10 large square recesses built from sandstone. These are the step wells, used for centuries by the people here in the world’s most populated desert. The annual monsoon lasts just three days on average, supplying less than 12 centimeters of water. A child can reach his seventh birthday, locals tell me, before seeing rain.
“As a boy, I would go with my father every three days from the village to our well here,” our guide Manjit Singh says, pointing to his Rajput (warrior caste) well. “We would carry back 400 liters of water on our camel, and that had to last us, so every drop was precious. We reused all our cooking, washing and drinking water.” Grabbing a handful of sand in one hand and a cup with dregs of tea from our picnic lunch in the other, Singh demonstrates washing up, desert-style.
“Now people don’t use the wells, so they’ve become blocked and dry,” Singh says, showing me a stagnant pit at the bottom of the most impressive step well — the one reserved for Brahmans, the highest caste. “Water is plentiful in our village. We were connected to electricity last year, so we shower every day and wash the dishes with water,” he says.
The Indira Gandhi Canal, a hydro-engineering feat that began soon after the partition of India and Pakistan, has helped to check the desert’s spread into fertile zones and to irrigate crops. Running parallel to the Pakistan border, the canal has also acted as a strategic barrier against potential incursions. The state of Rajasthan has been transformed from a desert of cattle-herding nomads to a producer of cotton, wheat, and mustard (for mustard-seed oil), and the canal is currently undergoing a 150-kilometer extension southward.
The neighboring states of Punjab, upstream, and Gujarat, downstream, are taking issue with Rajasthan’s water use. The Beas River in Punjab has been largely diverted for the canal, a deal originally brokered to provide irrigation, though now people use canal water for drinking, washing, and other purposes.
Back aboard the camels, we pass large, neat fields of green and yellow crops, an incongruous sight among the cacti and scrub patches that are penned by upright sandstone slabs. In this desert, wood is far too valuable a commodity to waste on fencing.
Jaisalmer Fort in Rajasthan, India.
Before sunset, we reach the extraordinary Jaisalmer Fort, a sand castle finer than anything Disney could conceive, perched high atop Trikuta Hill. The golden sandstone fort was built in 1156 on the lucrative camel-train spice route linking India to Central Asia, and it’s still home to 5,000 people, making it one of only two living forts in India. Jaisalmer is also believed to be the oldest continuously lived-in fort in the world. And yet the structure is sodden and crumbling. Three of its 99 bastions have collapsed since the 1990s, earning it the dubious distinction of being one of the 100 most endangered sites on the World Monuments Watch list.
While the relatively new water infrastructure has allowed both crops and tourism to flourish, more than 120 liters of water per person pass through the fort’s decrepit sewer system on a weekly basis, 12 times its intended capacity. The result? Sewage courses down the honey-colored walls, creating huge cracks in the sandstone.
Inside, we encounter Riyaz Malik, the architectural engineer in charge of restoration works. He’s in a palace courtyard, helping to guide a camel around a mortar-grinding circuit. “We don’t have the money for diesel-powered grinders,” he explains, as the docile animal turns the stone wheel. Malik, whose ancestry goes back 96 generations to the Afghan stonemason who helped build the Maharajah’s palace 850 years ago, has received a UNESCO world heritage award for his conservation work, which included installing more than 200 toilets at the fort. “But people don’t use them,” he says.
Some climate models suggest that this area will become wetter in coming decades — locals attest that the monsoon has grown heavier. If so, it will likely hasten the demise of Jaisalmer and the tourist industry that depends on the fort. Malik picks up a block of sandstone and drops it into a bowl of water: Seconds later the stone has dissolved into sand.
Insensitive hotel-building practices in the fort are also contributing to its demise, Malik says, showing me examples of double- and triple-story concrete constructions whose weight is causing them to sink into Trikuta Hill. “I am unpopular here,” he admits, “because I tell people things they don’t want to hear: Use the toilet; don’t use so much water; throw the trash in a bin; build with the original sandstone materials.”
Some hoteliers took advantage of a 1996 government initiative to help them move out of the fort, but others have taken their place, to the tune of 10 more each year. Government officials declined to comment on the situation for this article. “The only way that the fort will still be here in 10 years, is if the government forces the hotels out,” Jaisalmer’s Maharajah, Brij Raj Singh, tells me on the lawn outside his new palace, as we sit looking up at the fort. “But that won’t happen,” he sighs. “And even if it did, what would happen to my people in the fort who rely on the hotels for their livelihoods?”

Taurus: " No/Thing"
Yes, I know finally some reviews, had some personal issues, and to be honest there really hasn't been much new music coming out. I have sat on this album for a while before giving it a listen to realize it is pretty dark and rocking. There is a very spastic element to this as well, the screeching vocal's of Dark Castle's Stevie Floyd, blurt oddly out from from the corners of the angular and almost industrial sludge fest.
Of course I am going to like the clean vocals blended in to the harsher elements. The guitar playing is creepier than your average band of this ilk. What ilk might this be..well sludge is the closest cousin we can draw comparisons to. The tempo tends to linger on the slower side. There are thematic elements that bleed over into other tracks, samples string the songs together, almost working like an Acid Bath album, though much more angular.
There are droning chants that bathe this often hypnotic album that feels more like movements than songs. This is night listening and seems better music for colder and dreary weather. Bouts of depression might make this find heavier rotation. Often finding it self as one of the few albums these days that earns the right to be experimental, I can hear shades of King Crimson on "Set Forth the Path of the Infinite" and I suppose there is some Swans influence as well. It does tend to wander given the space of the ten minute running time.Like wise "Increase Aloneness' comes on like a Dead Can Dance outtake. It takes six minutes for the metal to erupt, but how cool would it be if Dead Can Dance erupted into an industrial beat.It sounds like the good ritual music , but for casual listening driving around , only for road trips.
"RECEED" closes the album out with a drone.The drumming is abstract here and leaves similar space through out the album. but is more of an outro than a real song.The droning nature of this album does raise the question how much will I actually listen to this, despite the fact this is a very well crafted and executed piece of work. Only time will tell, so I will go ahead and give it a 9 for craftsmanship.

Back in 2013, Infinite Fall launched a crowdfunding campaign for Night in the Woods, a cute-looking game featuring Mae, a young cat, who returns after a few years of absence to her mining town of Possum Spring. Described as narrative adventure game, with the ability to interact with dozens of characters, Night in the Woods follow a story much deeper than it seems and especially to lift the veil on disturbing events that occur in the woods after dark. Now roughly a year after its initial launch on PC and PlayStation 4, followed by Xbox One, I finally get the chance to try this adventure as it gets ported to the Nintendo Switch.
Night in the Woods starts with Mae finding herself alone at the bus station, completely left to her own demise to get back home, instead of getting picked up by her parents. The young cat returns to Possum Spring after three years of absence, having decided to abandon her studies for a reason we yet to know. And so Mae is back in her old mining town, but things have changed a lot in the three years that passed. In addition to her favorite shops being closed, she’ll discover most of her friends have grown up, having to work and take adult responsibilities.
Infinite Fall’s game shines through with its funny, authentic, but serious writing by the substantive topics it addresses. Its wealth of endearing characters has a lot to offer and you’ll enjoy following their adventures, which are actually a little more elaborate than the dialogues and light mood you discover in the beginning. There’s a rich and deep context to the game, one of rural exodus, reflections on death, the transition to adulthood or even depression, which makes conversations often convincing, natural, carried by the cynicism of Mae’s band of friends.
Moreover, if Night in the Woods is particularly talkative, the conversation between the characters flow nicely, either thanks to the jokes between Mae and Gregg, the nihilistic speeches of Bea or the often too serious sermons (but often necessary) of Angus. Each character has his own personality, worries and skeleton in their closet to live with, and even if the game is essentially narrative-centered, the unfolding of the plot is done by itself, and players will be asking for more. A feeling that is difficult to describe, but which grabs the player by the guts, even regularly making you squeeze a smile thanks to a perfectly written line.
Visually, Night in the Woods is also a real artistic success. Bright with varied colors that illuminate the screen, the animations are fluid, making the city of Possum Spring so rich in details, with many possible interactions. The game, in all its 2D glory, shines with its universe that transposes animals in a terribly realistic world, which within minutes, really makes the player immersed in this mood.
Even though Mae will often walk along the same path between her house and Gregg’s shop, curious players may decide to visit other parts of the small town and discover a whole lot of different spots over the course of the adventure. In addition to that, the young cat is particularly agile and can jump everywhere, but it’s the strange dreams that will truly show what she’s made of, tossing her into a completely dreamlike environments with a disturbing and magical atmosphere. As for music, the themes are just like the game, inviting you to escape from reality, reminiscent of your childhood, but adding a touch of melancholy that fits perfectly with the game. However, the music becomes quite redundant in some parts that can be long, as it ends up looping endlessly, but that’s a rare thing.
Finally, Night in the Woods’ gameplay is particularly simplistic, with Mae only able to move in two dimensions, jumping and interacting with other characters or certain elements of the stage. However, the title offers from time to time a little variation in the gameplay, with some fun instance of rhythm minigames (style like Guitar Hero), or even small puzzles which can be easily solved. The dreaming phases offer moments of pure platforming and exploration, which are a real source of freshness, fun and always serve the overall narration.
For those of you that played the game originally on one of the previously launched platforms (Xbox One, PlayStation 4 or PC), you’ll be happy to know that the Nintendo Switch version is a complete experience. While not a demanding game on the technical front, Night in the Woods runs fully at 60fps in both 1080p in dock mode and 720p in handled mode, but I wished they added some sort of touch control to make full use of the console portability. On the other hand, the game comes out with the Weird Autumn and Solstice content pack, which adds a sort of “director’s cut” to Night in the Woods, with additional chapters and side stories that opens up more possibilities to the core script.
Night in the Woods was reviewed using a Nintendo Switch digital download code of the game provided by Infinite Fall. The game is also available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC in digital releases. We don’t discuss review scores with publishers or developers prior to the review being published (click here for more information about our review policy).

Why Call it a Standoff?
A newspaper op-ed on the Pennsylvania School Boards Association lawsuit on school funding opted to describe the holdup in school funding due to the Governor’s line-item veto as a “standoff” between the General Assembly and the Governor. It is sort of like the language used in an article describing the budget situation that we pointed out in our most recent Brief.
If the Legislature passed $5.6 billion for basic education, and it was reduced via a line-item veto to try and create “leverage”, why does the General Assembly get labeled as one-half of the parties in a standoff? The op-ed does refer to the line-item veto as “ill advised” but not until later in the piece.
The question needs to be asked: why would the Governor veto items (basic education and corrections) that clearly are critical and necessary functions of the Commonwealth and have to be funded?
