Little Big Town‘s leading lady Karen Fairchild has become a fashion icon in her own right. Combining her love for fashion with her notoriety, Karen was inspired to launch her own fashion collection, appropriately called “Fair Child“.
Karen explained what fans of fashion and music can expect from the new line.
Fair Child is a blend of everything I love. It’s a collection of rich textures, details and embellishments in iconic pieces that are easy to wear, glamorous and affordable. These versatile pieces are made to be worn together through mixing, matching and layering.
Evine.com reports that Fair Child will include “a fusion of sexy, bold pieces” with a vintage vibe and embellished with studs, embroidery, and sequins. Evine’s Chief Strategy Officer, ecstatic about the relationship with Karen, shared:
We’re always looking to offer our customers product and personalities reflective of what’s hot and, in the world of country music, there are very few artists who are as relevant today as Karen Fairchild. Karen has worked closely with our team from the beginning, directing almost every aspect of the collection’s design. We’re excited to add Fair Child to our growing proprietary fashion business.
Fair Child will become available on October 27th, and Evine.com will give fans a first peek of the collection the night of the 27th. Watch the video below to hear what Karen Fairchild has to say about her new endeavor.

A Northern Territory farmer is adding to the reputation of the mango as one of Australia's most iconic tropical fruits by breeding a new variety that tastes like coconut.
Leo Skliros, from Berry Springs, south of Darwin, is an experienced grower of the popular Kensington Pride variety.
But after years of tinkering away on his Berry Springs orchard, he says he's on to something better.
"It's an earlier variety that seems to flower quite easily," he said.
"I was thinking about calling it 'malibu' because it has a slight 'coconuty' flavour to it."
Mr Skliros says he stumbled across the flavour by a chance and suggests the coconut-mango combination was unintentional.
He says development of the ‘malibu’ has taken three to four years, and that it was hard to predict the outcome of the crossbreeding in the early years.
"It's a longer shaped mango because one of the parents is an Irwin, which is a longer red variety," he said.
The other parent is a Kensington Pride, a popular choice for growers and breeders due to its size and strong flavour.
Mr Skliros says there is the potential for consumers to get confused if too many new varieties come onto the market. However, he sees crossbreeding as a way forward for growers.
"A lot of people have been looking at new varieties and there's a few that have been out on the market," he said.
"But as we've seen with other varieties of fruit, such as apples, it's the way of the future and if you go into the supermarket now there's several different types of apples and new ones coming out all the time."
He says the aim of his crossbreeding experiment isn’t just to create a better tasting and looking mango, but also a more practical one for farmers.
"It needs to be farmer friendly as well. If it's a heavy-bearing [tree], it's easier to pick and more economically viable for the farmer."
Mr Skliros says he is still two to three years away from producing the fruit on a commercial scale.

For all the worries about Russian hackers and other cyber-vandals, voting problems this week in Arizona served as a reminder that one of the biggest threats to fair elections is plain old human error. That appeared to be the case during Tuesday’s primary, when dozens of polling places in the state’s most populous county opened late because the voter verification machinery had not been set up. The Maricopa County recorder, the official in charge of running elections in and around Phoenix, said the contractor hired to connect the tablet-like devices didn’t send enough workers to complete the job on time. The contractor insisted it dispatched more people than the county requested.Full Article: Hackers? No, human error plagues Arizona primary voting.

Romblon, Romblon (CNN Philippines, April 4) — A presidential applicant on Monday said he would inhibit in a probable Senate probe on the multibillion-peso unpaid estate tax of the Marcos spouse and children.
“Ako, I will have to inhibit kasi ‘yung involved doon sa situation na ‘yon presidential candidate,” Sen. Ping Lacson stated.
[Translation: I will have to inhibit because a presidential candidate is involved in the issue.]
Lacson was vocal about the government’s responsibility to collect taxes from the family members of fellow presidential aspirant, Bongbong Marcos, in gentle of the closing ruling of the Supreme Court docket on the make any difference.
He formerly reported tax proceeds could fund the nationwide broadband network to digitalize authorities operations and make improvements to web connectivity.
“Kasi ₱203 billion tapos collectible ng BIR, I think countrywide curiosity siguro ‘yon,” Lacson said when asked if the matter ought to be tackled by the Senate.
[Translation: ₱203 billion is collectible by the BIR, I think that’s of national interest.]
Senator Koko Pimentel filed a resolution to search into the failure of the Bureau of Inside Profits (BIR) to accumulate the estate tax for almost 25 decades.
Pimentel is backing the presidential bid of Senator Manny Pacquiao.
“There is an urgent and pressing need to have for the Senate to search into the good reasons and BIR Officials, past and current, who are accountable why the governing administration, immediately after just about 20-5 (25) many years, has unsuccessful to collect on these quantities which have presently been adjudged with finality to be thanks and demandable in opposition to the heirs of Ferdinand E. Marcos,” the resolution said.
Lacson’s running mate Senate President Tito Sotto said either the Blue Ribbon or the Finance committees may possibly tackle the Pimentel resolution.
Sotto suggests the listening to could start in 3 to 4 times.
When asked if he will assist the listening to, Sotto explained he was noncommittal.
“It minimize equally approaches e. Ang ibig sabihin, pagka tinake up mo ‘yan, maaaring maging detrimental ‘yan to some men and women but also, mainly because of the media mileage baka maging pabor. So, as I explained, it cuts both equally techniques. I never know. It depends on irrespective of whether I will attend or not,” he explained.
[Translation: It cuts both ways. What that means is if you take it up it could be detrimental to some people, but also because of media milage it could work in their favor. So, as I said, it cuts both ways. I don’t know. It depends on whether I will attend or not.]

Seven months into this indie writing thing, I probably spent more than I earned. I am writing a few books for free, hopefully for feedback and then self-publication later on. Most of these designs are mine, but I had to pay for the Adobe stock licenses. Only the covers for Firebird and Scent of a Rogue were bought. Thanks to July Bee for Firebird. Thanks to Kuro Ishi for Scent of a Rogue. They are wonderful artists with their own FB pages. Check them out!
The other books, especially the upcoming ones, may still go through cover changes.
I got my first book rejection last Friday, 18th February. I kind of expected it because my book does not explore trending themes (CEO, billionaire, werewolves). However, I made a stand for its quality. I always prided myself on being nitpicky with my grammar. My plots are also always unpredictable without being ridiculous. Of course, I am saying all these as the writer. lol.
After my confidence got a brutal kicking and punching, it helped that some readers expressed how they like the story. I am so grateful. I know my story is far from perfect, and I need a professional reader to give it a whipping before I self-publish (Yes, this may finally be my year to gather enough courage to do so.)
To comfort myself, I bought a book cover to give my story a new look. I have been coveting this cover for more than a week, and then I gave in. I thought since I am planning to take my publication future more seriously, I should be more serious with my covers, as well.
I am thinking of writing three interlinked stories. It’s not quite a trilogy because they have different H and h pairings. One of the stories may even have two pairs, since they will feature Samuel’s (from The Royal Wolf and Hades’ Daughter) twins Magda and Simon.
“Lullaby” is planned to be a second chance/forbidden love romance. The fairy Roza uses a glamor to supposedly steal away the baby of a warlock king widower, whose ancestors have plundered fairy ground. Her fairy king and former lover orders her to do this as payment for abandoning her place at his harem.
However, things do not go as planned as King Ardere turns out to be quite different from how people – and fairies – portray him.
I like working on Photoshop and Canva in my free time. I get inspired by visuals. So, here are a few covers I came up with. I am just about to write outlines on them. The first three will be part of a trilogy of stories that are offshoots of the Mogochislenia (The Royal Witch) series –> The Triquetra.
The first story, “Lullabye,” already has a blurb:
When warlock king Ardere’s wife dies of childbirth, he seeks the services of a nurse for his newborn son. Because of his temper and the general gloom that takes over the palace, few women volunteer to take on the role. One of them is the pretty Roza, a fairy using a glamor to disguise herself as a mortal woman.
Roza’s former lover Dorian is the king of the fairies. He is disturbed by the climate changes in Prozeus. His hatred, however, goes back centuries, as he blames mortal men for the dire plight of the fairies. He believes that warlocks and demigods have forgotten about the life that was razed by the heat underneath the desert sands. Dorian orders Roza to take Ardere’s baby and use him as a sacrifice to appease their gods. The only other option was to make him serve as a slave. Forever.
The new nurse bides her time, gaining everyones’ trust and love, including the testy Ardere’s own, much to her surprise – and his. She is torn between loyalty to her kind and a love that may raise her from her lowly status. Leaving a changeling will help her keep both, but will she lose Ardere forever when he discovers she is part of a plot against his kingdom?
Lullabye – Ardere and Roza (loss of a wife)
Tourniquet – Magda and Pedro/Simon and Celeste (separation of twins)
Salve – Alex (Alexander Xavier) and Zinnia (loss of a sibling)
The last cover is a standalone, a dark fairy tale about a woman who was “rescued” from an asylum by a mysterious man.
I have been writing for Dreame for six months now. I did not expect that I will have 3 Pay to Read books by this time. Writing fantasy romances is my third job. I do it after I am done with teaching and writing freelance articles and e-books for clients. It’s fun to do what I love. To be honest, I have not earned much from PTR because I like writing on not-so-popular themes. However, I struggle to write on Omegaverse wolves and billionaires. I like writing what I would enjoy reading myself.
I just had a little bit of fun with my book covers. Although I liked the old covers, I feel like the readers love these two better. I do, too. I love using Canva, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Stock photos.
Most of my stories are begun without much planning, but they managed to be published on Dreame, with minimal errors. I went back to guiltily fix those errors, by the way. It would be great to have an extra pair of eyes.
I publish my episodes so as soon as I had a little bit of an idea what I needed to do. My first one, The Royal Witch, somehow made it intact with twists and turns in the end. My characters have a tendency to do their own thing, based on their personalities.
Emotions, emotions, emotions
I tend to go emotional. I just did not know that I was expressing those emotions properly until I have received readers’ comments. Yes, I was afraid that I started sounding mechanical and academic because I get very plot-driven.
A Steamy Experience
At first, I was not sure if I wanted to continue writing The Royal Flower. It is outside of my comfort zone, with its alternating first-person POVs and more graphic sensual scenes. It goes against my usual slow-burn romance tendencies.
But here is the thing, as I got to know Carolina and Daniel, they have become more than just an experiment to see if readers will be more eager to read a steamier book. I am writing for an app wherein steamy books with wolves reign supreme.
I went with steamy, but I turned the shifter theme on its head. Hey, what if the character turned into something else – not a creature, but a plant? Sounded like a good joke at first – like an excuse to get a character naked – but then I’ve read about mimics and how they could transform, but not into creatures.
Carolina and Daniel
Carolina and Daniel have also become so real to me that I know how they will act in certain situations. The sex that happens does not feel forced because I have an innocent Medieval princess and an ex-monk who does not have enough experience, beyond one previous relationship with a dominant, seductive woman. Their physical connection takes on a more personal and emotional aspect, as they try to discover more about themselves, their wishes, and desires.
Does this Dreame book interest you? It is still free on the Dreame app for a few more days, as of writing.
My first book is going on PTR soon. It is not an easy decision, especially since my book is not about a particularly popular topic. I have no wolves until the sequel. Thus, the constant plea to delay it. My editor (business manager of sorts) is very understanding and has been giving me the best advice IMHO.
Looking back, I chose the medieval setting because I love the idea of chivalry. It was a time when men were still gallant, respecting women and their honor. It also seemed so natural to put in witches. So, yes, it was really the swords and sorcery format that compelled me to write The Royal Witch. It was a whim, really. I did not even know why I started writing. I have a full-time job and even have three regular content writing clients.
I would certainly not say “no” to extra income, but I also realized I would love for more people to read my work first. In the end, though, it is a business and I am under contract. I am afraid of what the PTR switch will do for my book but I eventually have to click on that Apply for V button.

What is 5G and how does it work?
The ‘G’ in 5G stands for ‘generation’, so a 5G enabled phone is the 5th generation of wireless mobile technology and will make your mobile internet faster and more reliable. This follows four previous generations of mobile (1G, 2G, 3G & 4G) – 3G led to the launch of smartphones and 4G, which enabled faster browsing, meant we could all watch videos on the move.
5G does not replace the earlier generations, it’s more like another level on top of these that runs at much higher and faster frequencies, delivering more information at super-fast speeds.
Key features of 5G
Faster download speeds:
Most of the major UK mobile networks have now launched 5G services at up to 10 times faster than 4G. In fact, real-word examples have seen it achieving speeds of over 400Mbps (megabits per second) while tests in real-world conditions at Canary Wharf in London have resulted in over 1Gb/s or 1,000 megabits per second! Amazing when you consider the average fibre broadband speed is 30Mbps.
This means that 5G mobiles will have less lag, or buffering, with reaction times faster than the human brain! Many tasks that need quick responses that couldn’t previously be achieved, like multiplayer mobile gaming, will now be possible.
Networks will be able to cope much better with the high demand from both customers and their apps.
How can I get 5G on my phone?
To get 5G you will need both a network provider that offers 5G in your location and a phone that is specifically enabled to run the technology, such as the refurbished Samsung Galaxy A32 5G, the Galaxy Note 20 5G, or even the higher end Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G.
Check out our full range of refurbished Samsung Galaxy 5G enabled phones at ur today. All restored to the highest possible quality, every unlocked Samsung 5G phone in the ur range also comes with a FREE 12-month warranty, FREE delivery, and £45 worth of FREE accessories!

Mussel Boats #35 & #36 Intercepted At Watercraft Inspection Stations
July 7, 2021 | View PDF
On Sunday, June 27, watercraft inspection stations in eastern Montana intercepted two boats entering the state carrying invasive mussels, making it the 35th and 36th mussel-fouled boats intercepted this year. This surpasses the total number of 35 mussel-fouled boats intercepted in 2020.
Shortly after noon on Sunday, the Wibaux station found mussels on a used inboard ballast boat that had been recently purchased in Michigan and was destined for Billings. Inspectors decontaminated the hull and locked the boat. AIS staff in Billings will flush the ballast tanks before removing the lock from the boat. The Wibaux station is operated by the Garfield County Conservation District.
Sunday evening the Hardin inspection station detected mussels on an inboard/outboard motorboat last used in the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. The recently purchased boat was being commercially transported to Washington State. Inspectors removed the visible mussels, locked the boat to the trailer and notified officials in Washington for further action. The Hardin station is operated by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks.
FWP staff reminds anyone transporting motorized or nonmotorized boats into Montana that an inspection is required before launching, and stopping at all open watercraft inspection stations is required. Failing to stop at an inspection station can result in a fine of up to $500.
Boaters should ensure their watercraft, trailer and all equipment that is in contact with water (anchor, lines, swim ladder, etc.) is clean, drained of water and dry.

US plane heading to Boston for baseball match crashes with 21 people on board
A plane carrying 21 passengers from Houston, Texas, to Boston has burst into flames after it failed to take-off.
A plane with 21 people on board has crashed while attempting to take off from an airport in Houston, Texas.
On Tuesday the McDonnell Douglas MD-87 plane was carrying 18 passengers, the youngest being a 10-year-old, two pilots and a flight attendant to Boston for an ALCS baseball match between the Boston Red Sox and the Houston Astros, the Independent reported.
The plane failed to take off before it hit a fence and burst into flames.
PLANE DOWN: Hereâs the sight in Waller County where an emergency response is underway. @abc13houston has a number of crews heading to the scene. The latest here: https://t.co/rs1WFwfLPs pic.twitter.com/sZwI3MqIU3— Nick Natario (@NickABC13) October 19, 2021
Incredibly only one passenger was injured in the crash.
"This is a good day. This is actually a day of celebration for a lot of people," Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Sgt. Stephen Woodard told reporters at the scene.
Tim Gibson, director of Waller-Harris Emergency Service said the survival of all passengers was the “best outcome” for a crash of this nature.
“We’re always expecting the worst but hoping for the best and today, we absolutely positively got the best outcome we can hope for on this incident,” Mr Gibson told reporters at the scene.
He said all passengers had evacuated themselves from the plane before fire crews extinguished the fire which was ignited by jet fuel.
TV footage showed the plane’s fuselage had been completely destroyed by the massive fire with only ashes remaining while the jet’s tail wing remained.
The jet reportedly hit a powerline during the crash cutting power to 1,800 homes. The power has since been restored.
Thick black smoke could be seen for kilometres away as it billowed into the sky.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have arrived on scene to investigate the circumstances leading to the crash.

Hugo Lloris has said his decision to stay at Tottenham Hotspur has been justified by the club's progress under manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Lloris joined Spurs from Lyon in 2012 but considered leaving after two turbulent seasons that concluded with the sackings of Andre Villas-Boas and Tim Sherwood.
But the France captain said he decided to stay after Pochettino succeeded Sherwood in summer 2014, with the manager appointing the goalkeeper club captain soon afterwards.
Spurs have since mounted two Premier League title challenges, but their 1-1 Champions League draw at Real Madrid, in which Man of the Match Lloris made a number of stunning saves, felt like a landmark performance.
Asked if that justified his decision, he told the Press Association: "Yes -- from the first moment I believed in Pochettino, and that's it.
"I don't need that [result] to say yes, I was right at the time. It was just my feeling when I met him. Now I just enjoy the football we play. Sometimes in football you live great moments, and you live some sad moments.
"But there is a great potential in the squad, a great project in our club, and I am looking forward to seeing this development. I try my best to help the team and the club to develop."
Lloris made a point-blank save to deny compatriot Karim Benzema at 1-1, and said: "Everything came so quick. He was so close to the goal. I think he probably should have scored.
"I tried to get the most space as possible and then the ball hit me. It's part of our job -- sometimes you need luck."
The result at the Bernabeu leaves Spurs and Real joint top of Group H, with the defending champions facing Spurs again at Wembley on Nov. 1.
Last season they beat only CSKA Moscow in the Champions League, with some disappointing Europa League campaigns having preceded that.
"This is what I said to my teammates -- don't forget that three years ago we were still in the Europa League," Lloris said.
"Last season we discovered as a team the Champions League, but we were very disappointed with the performances that we had.
"I think we built a strong confidence from the start of this competition with a good win against Dortmund. We confirmed that with a win in Nicosia, and you can see Dortmund drew [there] so it's not an easy place."

We began our journey early in the morning, with little traffic and taking our time as we drove through small villages as we made our way to the Autoroute. One such village that caught our eye was Sallanges, a small market center located at the base of Mont Blanc. This tiny village sports several hotels including the Hotel de Paris shown in the picture below. We thought perhaps the tiny village might be a place for spill-over guests once the ski resort centers are full. It was quaint with overflowing pots of brightly colored spring flowers. It only had only a couple narrow two-lane streets and we thought it was cute but too quiet for the two of us.
We eventually made our way to the Autoroute, figured out how to pass through the toll gates and began our drive toward Lyon. Traffic was moderate and the highway well-traveled by large trucks. We rarely if ever encountered trucks on the small country roads so they caught us by surprise. They all travel strictly in the right lane and we were told that this is the rule.
We also enjoyed another new experience: We hadn't yet had to put gasoline in our car since we picked it up with a full tank. Wanting to avoid running out of gas, we pulled into a gas station along the Autoroute and tried to figure out which gas to use, which side of the car the gas cap was on and then how to use the pump. The pump looked ordinary, however, we could not read the directions (all in French) or figure out which gas to use. I was able to figure out which gas but I didn't know how to start the darned pump because there was no slot for a credit card or euro note. As much as he dreaded it, Doug left me with the car while he went inside to use his best hand signals to get the clerk to help him. She spoke enough English to let him know that you don't pay until after you pump! Just pump your gas and then come in and pay. Now that's novel. Very French indeed, I mean why would somebody want to pay for something they have not yet received? It's this kind of logic that we so lovingly appreciate in France. Why indeed! So, he simply lifted the nozzle filled the tank, gave the young lady the credit card, said his au revoir, merci and we were on our way. We did stop off at the brasserie next to the gas station. It's so cool to be able to walk in, have a quick espresso and be on your way in short order. It's so time-efficient being French. We also marveled at the delicious looking display of fresh homemade foods they offered, cafeteria style, including yummy pastries. Very nice indeed, but we were saving ourselves for Lyonnais cuisine, so off we went again.
When we arrived in Lyon we were surprised by the urban sprawl, traffic, and difficulty in maneuvering with road signs that were too unfamiliar to us. We followed the Rhône River for a bit and took the exit for "Old Lyon." We drove for approximately an hour through neighborhoods, along the river and back and forth until we finally found the small street that would take us up to the high peak where the La Villa Florentine hotel clerk would check us in. We were hungry, hot, cranky and tired by the time we arrived but such emotions quickly left when we walked through the door of the hotel into a lobby of polished Carrara Italian marble, pastel Frescos and angelic relief sculptures. Bach was gently playing, the lobby was cool, peaceful and richly furnished. After our rustic futon in the Haute-Savoie we felt like the Beverly Hillbillies must have felt when they came to Beverly Hills! Later we learned that the hotel was once a monastery for Catholic monks and had quite a long history. It certainly had been beautifully and artfully restored and hadn't lost any of its character.
La Villa Florentine is a four-star Relais & Chateaux (chain) hotel with sophisticated, artistic grounds and gardens, a five-star restaurant atop an open terrace with a 180 degree view of Lyon. The hotel rooms were spacious with high-ceilings. We were supplied with fluffy large towels and bathrobes. The French-style Louis XV furnishings were elegant and we had a gigantic marble-tiled bathroom (floor to ceiling, including tub/shower).
We opened our windows and had the same 180 degree view of Lyon (new and old), including the St. Jean Cathedral (a UNESCO site since 1998), Notre Dame Cathedral of Lyon, the Urban Center, rivers and mountains in the distance. But the real topper was a spacious king size bed with elegant 800 count Egyptian Cotton sheets. We both let out a gasp as we walked to the bed and simultaneously flopped backward onto the surface, giggling all the while.
We washed up and unpacked the scant suitcase we brought for a two-night stay, and famished we descended the 225 steps just to the east corner of our hotel and were dumped right smack in the middle of the bustling little "Old Lyon" village. (Old Lyon rooftops are visible in the picture with apples, above.) We quickly found a small brasserie where we settled in for some lunch. We ordered a full carafe of the Beaujolais wine and they brought us a small bowl with butter and radishes as well as a small bowl of the best olives I've ever tasted. By the way, it turns out that butter and radishes is a common snack served with an aperitif, and it really is delicious. I ordered a Lyonnais salad which had lardons (crispy shards of bacon), croutons and a poached egg a top greens lightly dressed with a delicious Beaujolais vinaigrette. My salad was accompanied by a basket of artisan french bread still warm from the oven. Doug enjoyed a plate of Lyonnais pasta consisting of buttery herbed noodles and saucisson de Lyon (this sausage is popular all over France. Our table was on the sidewalk and under an umbrella and we were able to watch people walking by. We dined slowly drinking in the lively atmosphere of the area, before strolling down cobblestone pedestrian streets. We found a wonderful wine shop, met the proprietor Georges Dos Santos, a Spaniard who speaks fluent French and English. He's a character. He gave us free tastings of some wonderful wines and we bought several bottles to take along with us on our trip--what the heck, we were already loaded with luggage so what's a little extra? If you're ever in Lyon, stop and see Georges Dos Santos at "The Flying Sommelier" in Old Lyon. He knows a lot about French wines and he'll let you taste some awesome wines.
Lyon is the second largest city in France (Paris is, of course, first) and is sometimes referred to as the "second Paris." It is about 160 kilometers from Geneva and 125 kms from Megève, located in the south-east of France and still part of the dèpartement de Rhône Alps. It is known for the Beaujolais wine region abutting from the north and the Côtes du Rhône wine abutting from the south. It is also famous for silk and you can visit shops with artisans creating silk scarves and other beautiful garments. The other positives for this city of some 4.4 million people is their soccer team (soccer is called "football" in France). The Olympique Lyonnais soccer team is part of the European Football Championship and is the reason Lyon has enjoyed international fame. There are two huge rivers (Rhône, which yields into and becomes the Soâne) where barges and cruise ships take passengers through the respective wine countries via a series of locks and into Lyon. Interior riverboat treks are very popular with the English. We quickly realized that to see all the monuments, sculptures, museums, fountains, restaurants and so on, we'd need to come back and spend at least a week or more. The Lyonnais also consider Lyon to be the center of gastronomy. They take pride in their cooking, using a lot of butter, herbs, sausage, potatoes, eggs and cream; opposite of other regions in France where only olive oil is used in cooking. The food is delicious.
We decided we'd had enough for one day and began walking back toward our hotel. Suddenly it dawned upon us that we now had to climb up 225 steps! It was hot and we slowly took the steps very grudgingly, but we made it. We'd had started our day very early as we had decided to watch the U.S. basketball championship game with the San Antonio Spurs taking on (and winning) the Detroit Pistons. So we stayed in for the night. We took care of some e-mail and posted to our journals, then sat up in bed supported by a million down pillows and dined on sandwiches we bought from below while enjoying some local television. Doug opened a bottle of that good Beaune region wine Georges sold to us, and generously filled two glasses. Georges has excellent taste! We slept like babies, caressed by elegant bed covers. Ah, paradise!
The next day we took a long stroll and encountered a large-scale flea market at the base of our hill along the Soâne. We saw many interesting people and it seemed like many of them were Muslims. We assumed, therefore, that Lyon must have a high Muslim population. We also saw (see photos below) an odd woman who was literally draped in silk scarves from the top of her head to her feet. She was colorful, artistic and well-hidden from view, including her face. Interesting.
The market sold only brick-a-brack, used items and what looked like a lot of junk, but people were buying it up and bargaining like crazy. It was a thrilling cultural high for us. We stopped at a small café for a petit dejeuner (breakfast of bread, jam, juice and coffee), bought some water and continued on foot through the modern section of Lyon. We didn't eat until about 10:30 a.m. (most French don't eat early, eat light, then have a snack later in the day) and it stayed with us all afternoon. We made a reservation at our hotel to try the late dining on the terrace, since we knew there would be a full moon, so we had a little fruit and some snacks in our room during the late afternoon rest period.
We had been intently watching the French during meal time and think it appropriate to talk for a second about dining and cultural differences. We learned that the French keep their hands and forearms on the table--no laps please. Also, when someone orders an apero everyone else does the same and when it arrives everyone lifts their glass and says "sante" or "ching ching" (meaning to your health) and (you MUST look people in the eye when you toast) then everyone drinks. In this regard we also (read) learned that to not drink after the toast can lead to seven years of bad luck. Oh no! Finally, nobody eats until everyone is served and then (probably whoever set up the dinner engagement) someone says "bon appetite" and everyone begins eating--albeit slowly.
We were the second of two couples dining on the terrace under the moonlight. It was a balmy floral-scented evening and we could see all the lights of Lyon beneath the moon as they cast their likeness upon the glassy waters of the river below. We dined for two hours, tasting, sipping, enjoying before we sleepily pushed the button to the elevator that would take us back to our beautiful bed and handsomely decorated room. It was truly a wonderful respite from our rustic cabin in the mountains.
We took our time going back to Megève. After enjoying the fast-paced life of Lyon, we were happy to take back roads, stopping in small villages for a coffee every now and again, and just enjoying the beauty of the countryside that skirts the alpine region. We were now aware that the electrified city of Lyon was the second Paris, so we could hardly wait to finish out our last night in Megève so that we could leave Monday morning for Geneva where we were reserved on the Train à Grande Vitesse (TGV), a "fast train," for our 200 mph trip to Paris. We left ourselves just enough time to do some laundry, pack and finish off the last of the left over paté, fruit, cheese, bread and pastry in our apartment.
At this point we had toured remote areas of France in the Haute-Savoie followed by a brief tour of enormous and densely populated Lyon. Each day we became recharged with new discoveries. We were at a loss to explain this cultivation of a new and strange affinity for a country where neither of us could speak the language but felt very much in touch with the culture that exists there. Strange indeed, but wonderful!
The following photographs depict our observations as we toured. Enjoy!

Tippa Gore, wife of US Republican senator and presidential aspirant Albert Gore, describes herself as a progressive-minded woman who likes rock music and has even smoked marijuana (once). But, she says, some of the sentiments expressed in heavy metal music are so objectionable that the offending bands should be banned forthwith.
Her parents' group for the control over what their children may listen to points to lyrics encouraging drug use, rape and suicide, and invokes the case of a suicide pact last year between two young listeners of heavy metal rock band Judas Priest.
Tippa Gore's group came up in a discussion on Andrew Ollie's ABC radio talkback show on May 2, which focussed on the effects of heavy metal on the well-being of young listeners. The discussion was sparked by the shotgun suicide of a 15-year-old high school student in Kempsey on May 2. The boy was reportedly a heavy metal fan.
Whether you like heavy metal or not, some of it is pretty objectionable. While the Ollie show focussed on its fascination with death and Gothic horror, the grotesque sexism in some of the imagery and lyrics is just as bad.
I remember seeing a boy of about 10 or 11 in a black T-shirt decorated by a drawing of a woman slumped against a wall with her knickers down, with "Guns 'n' Roses woz 'ere" scrawled above her head (Guns 'n' Roses is the name of a heavy metal band). A sickening sight.
And heavy metal is not the only rock music which contains within it a tendency towards anti-woman lyrics and imagery. While US rap music has been celebrated by progressives for its off-the-streets anti-state and anti-racist sentiments, some performers have come up with misogynist sentiments so chilling it would be in poor taste to give an example.
Is there a relationship between these lyrics and the things that young people do? Does listening to a record about suicide make you want to do it yourself? Is the boy in the black T-shirt tomorrow's rapist?
The debate on music has direct parallels with the pornography debate. North American feminist writer Andrea Dworkin holds that pornography is the "theory" and rape the "practice". The logical conclusion to that is to agree that it ought to be censored. If a direct correlation can be proved, then freedom of speech must take second place to saving lives.
But while many feminists advocate censorship of porn, would they be so keen to start in on music? The Tippa Gores and Fred Niles of the world would be ecstatic. Just imagine the little committees of thought police required to stamp out all the nasties.
The women's movement in the US has been moving down this track for some years now. Who gets to control the process, once everyone has agreed that censorship is a solution to the symptoms of a
More importantly, a direct correlation between the consumption of mass media violence, misogyny and degradation on the one hand, and the actions of individuals on the other, has not been proved, and probably can't be. A myriad of factors can come together to produce a sick personality — family background, social opportunities, unemployment, sexual abuse, to name just a few.
Censorship doesn't work. If the work of some heavy metal artists were banned, that would only increase its fascination for young people wanting to test the limits they perceive society has imposed on them.
Feminists must be among the most passionate advocates of free speech and free thought, as we struggle to break down the limits that society has created for us. We can campaign against, argue with, boycott our opponents. But it won't do us any good to ask that they be censored.

“I keep posting entries because I want to bless Jesus in every way I can for His miraculous mercy… it is my prayer that my photos and words serve and glorify Him.”
Have you ever stepped outside on an ordinary day, only to find yourself in complete awe of the beauty surrounding you? If so, then amateur photographer and inspirational writer Natalie Scarberry might just be a kindred spirit.
Natalie began paying special attention to the amazing display of God’s glory that she was finding each day in her flower gardens in 2001, after retiring from 31 years of teaching. These daily scenes were so breathtaking, that Natalie was inspired to purchase a digital camera in order to capture these moments of worship.
“About that same time I started journaling snippets about my renewed faith journey, my garden, and the things I was observing in the natural world,” recalls Natalie. “Eventually I bought a bigger, better digital camera and began putting my photos and written musings together so I could share them with friends and family via email. Then, with their encouragement under my belt, I took another step and launched my blog.”
Natalie’s blog, Sacred Touches, gives this former teacher an avenue for sharing her daily photos and devotional thoughts. No sooner had Natalie launched this new project, however, when tragedy struck her life.
“Shortly after I started my blog I had a stroke, and to save my life a surgeon had to remove two clots from by brain,” Natalie explains. “As a result I am now not only still alive, but the Lord guided his hands so that the artery walls were not damaged during the procedure. The Lord then blessed me even further because I have no residual physical or mental deficiencies from the stroke or the surgery. So it was that after a brief period, I was able to begin writing on my blog again. Now even though there are days when I ponder whether anyone really wants to see my photos and/or read what I have to say, I keep posting entries because I want to bless Jesus in every way I can for His miraculous mercy and the new life He has granted me. It is my prayer that my photos and words serve and glorify Him and bless in some way all who see and read them.”
Though she started after retirement, becoming a Christian photographer and writer was not a new idea for Natalie. “I always wanted to be a writer and/or an artist,” she shares. “And eventually, I perceived that whatever talent I possess to that end was a way to serve the Lord and sow Kingdom seeds through my words and photographs.”
Artists often wonder where to search for inspiration, but inspiration is something that Natalie finds all around her. “During church services, I make notes of things – either words spoken or lyrics as we sing that spark ideas,” she says. “I do the same when I’m listening to the radio or reading. I get ideas when I’m out taking pictures. Sometimes I even get ideas from just sitting and looking out at my yard or working in the flower beds or watching the wildlife that comes to my yard or on the road while we’re going somewhere. Then I build around that spark, the idea that is often generated from those experiences. The Lord always seems to have a way of dropping ideas into my thoughts and I go from there.”
Along with drawing inspiration from daily experiences, Natalie also enjoys following the work of fellow artists. “There are lots of musicians, writers, and fellow bloggers that I admire,” she muses. “One of my favorite books of all time was written by J. Philip Newell and is called The Book of Creation. Some other writers I like are C.S. Lewis, James Dobson, Billy Graham, Rick Warren, Max Lucado, Sarah Young, and the list goes on and on. Some recording artists and groups I like are: Amy Grant, Stephen Curtis Chapman, Chris Tomlin, Michael W. Smith, Mercy Me, Phillips Craig and Dean, Selah, Nicole Sponberg, etc. Some bloggers that I like are Julie Cooper, Susan Irene Fox, David Welford, Wendy L. MacDonald, and others…”
When asked if she felt her Christian faith played an important role in her work as an artist, Natalie’s response was enthusiastic. “It has everything to do with it! I do what I do for the glory of God and, as I said before, to plant seeds in the hearts and minds of those who have yet to come to Christ. And always, always to praise Him and thank Him!!!”
Natalie is also convinced that art has the power to change people’s lives. “The Lord is the Master Artist Himself, and we are made in His image. How could His art and the artwork of human hands inspired by Him not change lives?” she asks.
Though many lives have been touched by her photos and inspirational writings, Natalie has never sold her work. “I’ve chosen not to take money or awards for my work,” she explains. “I do what I do to honor the Lord and bring glory to Him, not me. I have created small books, calendars, greeting cards and such, but I have always given them away as gifts!”
Natalie has now spent many years listening for the Lord’s still, small voice and allowing this to be reflected in her artistic endeavors. When asked what advice she might have for other Christian artists, she left us with this: “Listen to your heart, listen to the Lord, ask Him to lead you in the way you should go, and pray. Over the last year, I’ve started asking the Holy Spirit to prompt me about anything that I should change before I post my entries every day.”
Though she has “graduated” out of the classroom, Natalie has found an entirely new audience to bless with the talents the Lord has given her. She has built a blogging ministry to be proud of, and to think… it all started by simply stepping outside and marveling at what the Lord has done.
“The Lord is the Master Artist Himself…how could artwork…inspired by Him not change lives?”

A great reference for making wordpress template that resembles more of a CMS than a Blog.
Extending WordPress for better site publishing | urlgreyhot
The key to getting the custom templates was to find a way to figure out what section a page is part of. WP gives you an excellent way to establish parent-child relationships when editing pages by simply selecting a Page Parent. But the default sidebar shows the entire hierarchy. The local navigation on both of these sites only shows the children of the section you are currently navigating. To get that to work, I had to do a little scripting.

Niwa McIlroy is on a mission to become the world's first Māori WWE fighter. Currently pursuing his dreams in Mexico, the 23 year-old is the first NZer ever to sign with Mexico's largest and oldest lucha libre professional wrestling promoters.
Being tossed and kneed in the face is no pleasurable experience, but for hearty nāti Niwa McIlroy it's a dream job.
"The fact that's it's like entertainment and sport together is like pretty much what attracts me to it. I like the characters and I like the physical stuff as well" says McIlroy.
Also known by his stage name 'Johnny Idol', this year the aspiring WWE wrestler journeyed to Mexico where he picked up a contract with famous lucha libre associationn, CMLL.
McIlroy says, "When I tell them I'm from NZ not many people know where it is, some people think it's in Europe. But yeah it's pretty cool being the only NZ wrestler here. I think I'm the first NZ wrestler to wrestle for this company and like Mexico so it's pretty cool."
And the only Māori at that. Niwa's passion for wrestling started from a young age watching WWE on tv and then performing in local shows at age 13. But his wrestling journey hasn't been all smooth sailing. "When I first got here I didn't know anybody. I started working small companies in front of 30 people for like $10 a night and I was struggling quite a lot, I wasn't eating that much, but I was trying to make my dream happen.," says McIlroy.
Now he's performing in front of crowds of 20,000 a night; a lifestyle he says is dedicated to training day and night. McIlroy says his rugby background has been a huge help. "Sometimes I wrestle like 5 nights in a row or 4 nights in a row so it's pretty like demanding on my body and stuff so I kind of gotten use to it now and I guess when you love something you kind of just brush it off I guess."
No magic trickery involved, the stunts performed are all real. So a warning to all, do not try this at home.

Bob Vay, a technology and exhibitions archivist in University Libraries at George Mason University, has two degrees from the institution and has worked on the Fairfax Campus since 1993.
For him, the COVID-19 pandemic is “unfortunately the most significant event on campus, negative or positive,” since the Patriots’ unexpected run to the 2006 NCAA Final Four.
That is why, Vay said, the work of the University Libraries’ Special Collections Research Center, of which he is part, to document COVID-19’s impact on the university by archiving materials such as the university’s communications and other materials which reflect the upheavals being felt by students, faculty and staff is so important.
“The directions in which institutions go are influenced by the collection of experiences they, and the individuals who make them up, go through,” said Vay, BA American Studies ’92; MA History ’99. “For every institution and every person, these experiences are going to be different. This is another experience, positive or negative, people will remember.”
The archive will be built with official university communications and emails, social media posts, posted minutes from meetings where things such as grading policies and staff concerns are discussed. Oral histories with the university’s top officers eventually will be taken as well.
Student assistants in the Special Collections Research Center are documenting their experiences, both academic and social, in personal journals that also will include interviews with family and friends and, hopefully, some photos.
Lynn Eaton, director of the Special Collections Research Center, said collecting views and anecdotes from multiple perspectives and experiences is important, and noted that archivists work to not only document decisions by the people in charge, but to collect materials from individuals and organizations that are not always found in the archive.
Looking back at history is like looking through a prism, Eaton said.
“You’re never going to get the full prism,” she said. “You’re never going to get all sides of it because you’re not living it. But if you can have as many pieces and as many layers, then historians can better understand what was going on in this time period, and in an instance like today, perhaps use that to help inform decisions in the future.”
“And it will not be just historians who use this or scholars,” said Brittney Falter, research services coordinator for the Special Collections Research Center. “This information will be accessible to the public and anyone who wants to learn about others’ experiences during this time. Collecting these issues has a national impact, but it can also be individual. It shows the history of Mason and can hopefully be a learning tool of what to do and what not to do in the future.”
The assignment at Mason is challenging because the archiving is happening in real time and almost every piece of information so far is from electronic communications, just words. Vay collected a poster the university put out about precautions to prevent COVID-19, and the hope is the pictures the students are taking will be part of a physical archive Special Collections hopes to produce.
“It’s a moment in time people will come back to,” Eaton said of the pandemic.
Of the budding archive, she said, “It will help make this event come alive to Mason students of the future.”

InnoDB is a MySQL database engine, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years, as it offers a significantly better overall performance and a faster database crash recovery in comparison to the default engine that’s used by the MySQL RDBMS – MyISAM. InnoDB is endorsed by plenty of developers that create highly scalable software apps, due to the fact that it works more efficiently with enormous volumes of data, while it keeps the server processing load low. Moreover, it uses row-level locking if any info should be edited, while lots of other engines lock the entire table and thus require more time to handle multiple consecutive tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB complies with the "all-or-nothing" rule – in case the modification of the entire data cannot be completed for some reason, the action is rolled back to avoid confusion or losing data. Magento and the newest Joomla™ editions are two instances of popular PHP-driven software platforms which have moved to InnoDB.
InnoDB in Shared Hosting
You will be able to install any open-source script-driven software app that needs InnoDB if you’ve got a shared hosting service
with our company, as the MySQL database storage engine is available on our innovative cloud website hosting platform as standard. Throughout the app installation – manual or automatic, InnoDB will be selected as the default engine and the setup process will proceed flawlessly in case this engine is needed. You can install apps which use the MyISAM engine without the need to deal with any difficulty as well and, again, the engine will be selected automatically, so you won’t need to edit any setting manually at any point. On top of that, we’ll also make regular backups of all the databases that you’ve got in the shared hosting account, so if you erase or overwrite anything, we can easily restore it the way it was on any of the previous 7 days.
InnoDB in Semi-dedicated Servers
You can activate a script-based app that needs InnoDB with all of our semi-dedicated server
packages, as all the accounts are created on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform where the database storage engine is installed. A new MySQL database can be created in two separate ways – manually from the Database Manager section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, or automatically – if you use our 1-click application installer tool. In either case, the needed engine will be selected automatically once the app’s installation starts, so you won’t have to edit anything manually, regardless of whether the app requires InnoDB or the more frequently used MyISAM. Also, we’ll always be able to recover any of your databases if you delete one by mistake, as we carry out several database backups every day, each of which is kept for 7 days.
InnoDB in VPS Servers
If you obtain a VPS server
from our company, you’ll be able to make use of our custom Hepsia Control Panel to manage your content. A Hepsia-managed Virtual Private Server will permit you to manage any script-powered app which needs InnoDB, as this MySQL database engine is an integral part of the standard software package that will be pre-installed on the Virtual Private Server during its configuration. When you set up a brand new MySQL database via the Control Panel, you will simply have to start installing an app – manually or using our application installer tool. InnoDB will be set as the default engine as long as the application in question requires it, so you will not need to do anything else in your account. Identically, if a certain application requires MyISAM, it will be automatically set as the default engine for this specific MySQL database.
InnoDB in Dedicated Servers
InnoDB is available as standard with all Linux dedicated servers
ordered with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel. It’s included in the default software bundle that will be pre-installed on all Hepsia-equipped servers, so once your machine is assembled, you’ll be able to sign in and to activate any kind of PHP-powered app that requires this particular MySQL storage engine. When you set up a new database via the hosting Control Panel, there won’t be any active engine until you begin installing an application. Once the app activation wizard starts dumping information in the newly created database, the engine will be set automatically on the basis of the particular app’s requirements, so you can use both MyISAM and InnoDB without selecting either one specifically at any time. Thus, you can make use of a broad variety of apps for your Internet sites.

Have you set foot on Badagry? (Lagos)
This ancient town of Badagry was founded around l425 A.D. Before its existence, people lived along the Coast of Gberefu and this area later gave birth to the town of Badagry. It is the second largest commercial town in Lagos State, located an hour from Lagos and half-hour from the Republic of Benin. The town of Badagry is bordered on the south by the Gulf of Guinea and surrounded by creeks, islands and a lake.
The ancient town served mainly the Oyo Empire, which was comprised of Yoruba and Ogu people. Today, the Aworis and Egun are mainly the people who reside in the town of Badagry as well as in Ogun State in Nigeria and in the neighbouring Republic of Benin.
The name originated from the fact that the people of Badagry’s means of livelihood are farming, fishing and salt making due to the availability of trees and presence of ocean water respectively. The natives believed that Badagry was founded by a famous farmer called Agbedeh who maintained a farm which became popular it was named after him.
The word Greme meant farm in Ogu language and a visit to Agbedeh’s farm brought about the word and Agbedegreme and its usage meaning Agbedeh’s farm. It was then coined to Agbadagari by the Yoruba inhabitants and later changed to Badagry by the European slave merchants before the end of the seventeenth century.
Badagry is majorly recognized for its slave trade...

Each year since 1997, Kiama High Geography teacher Paul Berry has been organising for Year 7 students to participate in a Tree Planting Day.
“It’s always held in August, around National Tree Day, as an exercise in active citizenship,” he says.
“At school we teach them what they should do to help the environment – this is a day when we go out and get our hands dirty.”
170 students were distributed over seven locations this year, some looked after by Landcare groups – including Bombo Headland, the Seven Mile Beach dunes, Shoalhaven Heads Golf Club, and the Kiama Community Gardens; some by Council – Spring Creek and Minnamurra Rain Forest; and a private property on Swamp Road.
“The hard work of maintaining the area is done by the Landcare groups and Council,” says Mr Berry.
“We just mobilise an army once a year to help with the planting.”
With around 800-1000 trees planted each year, over 22 years, the initiative has had a significant and lasting impact.
It was started in the early 1990s, by another teacher John Brown.
Mr Berry got involved in his second year at the school.
“Some of the teachers I work with planted trees when they were in Year 7.
“It’s great to see the tradition continue.
“It truely is a community partnership between the School, Council and the Landcare groups.
“All parties enjoy being involved.”
They also attended the Hillside Landcare at the Kiama Football Fields, adjacent to the Kiama Community Garden.

During tissue morphogenesis, cellular rearrangements give rise to a large variety of three-dimensional structures. Final tissue architecture varies greatly across organs, and many develop to include combinations of folds, tubes, and branched networks. To achieve these different tissue geometries, constituent cells must follow different programs that dictate changes in shape and/or migratory behavior. One essential component of these changes is the remodeling of cell-cell adhesions. Invasive migratory behavior and separation between tissues require localized breakdown of cadherin-mediated adhesions. Conversely, tissue folding and fusion require the formation and reinforcement of cell-cell adhesions. Cell-cell adhesion plays a critical role in tissue morphogenesis; its manipulation may therefore prove to be invaluable in generating complex topologies ex vivo. Recapitulating these shapes in engineered tissues would enable a better understanding of how these processes occur in vivo, and may lead to improved design of organs for clinical applications. In this review, we discuss work investigating the formation of folds, tubes, and branched networks with an emphasis on known or possible roles for cell-cell adhesion. We then examine recently developed tools that could be adapted to manipulate cell-cell adhesion in engineered tissues.

In a world that often feels rushed and chaotic, finding someone who truly listens can make all the difference. This is especially true for adults with ADHD, as we understand the unique challenges that come with our condition, but sometimes it feels like no one else does. Supporting our fellow ADHDers (and everyone else of course) by simply making them feel seen and heard can be the most valuable gift.
Everyone living with ADHD has their own story, often with constant internal chatter, the struggle to stay focused, and those impulsive tendencies can leave us feeling isolated and misunderstood. It's like we're carrying an invisible burden that hardly anyone else can see. But when someone takes the time to listen, to really listen, it's like a weight is lifted off our shoulders. We feel acknowledged, validated, and reminded that we're not alone with how we experience life.
Listening is more than just hearing words. It's a form of support that creates a safe space for us to express ourselves freely. It's about finding someone who will let us vent, rant, and ramble without interrupting or judging. Someone who understands that sometimes we just need to let it all out without being offered a quick fix or a solution. When we have that space, we can finally feel the comfort of knowing that our thoughts and emotions matter.
Being seen and understood that way is incredibly powerful - and probably something each and everyone on this planet is longing for. When someone truly listens without an agenda, it sends a message that our experiences and feelings are valid. It ignites a sense of belonging and connection, reminding us that we are not alone in this and also that we're not defined by our struggles.
In conversations, we're used to jumping to conclusions, sharing our own view of things, and offering advice. Truly listening is none of that. Instead, we can try to ask open-ended questions, reflect on what our fellow ADHDers are sharing, and appreciate their vulnerability. We can acknowledge their feelings and being fully present with them. It's about creating a space where our voices are celebrated, where our stories are valued, and where we can learn from each other's unique perspectives.
As adults with ADHD, we have the power to create a profound impact within our community by simply listening. Let's be vulnerable, let's be relatable, and let's lend an empathetic ear to our fellow ADHDers. The gift of listening is so easy to give, and it allows us to create stronger connections, inspire personal growth, and empower each other on our journey of living with ADHD.
No matter if you have 10 minutes or a full hour: Who are you going to share the gift of listening with?
