Worshipping Western Style
Saddle up, partner – there's a new church in town.
Located at Wallsboro's pristine Iron Horse Ranch, Brush Poppers Cowboy Church is making a name for itself in Elmore County. Following a short drive (or horseback) down a gravel road, visitors arrive in front of a rustic-styled red barn. The construction of the barn-turned-sanctuary is relatively new, but the concept for this cowboy church started a few years ago outside the arena.
"Back then, the Bama Bandits [Cowboy Mounted] Shooting Club had weekend shoots once a month at the Iron Horse Ranch. On Sunday mornings, they had a Bible devotional," explained Brush Poppers' Pastor Bill Coleman, 46. "The weekly devotional led to the idea to do a cowboy church on Sunday mornings before their events. I taught a Sunday school class at Santuck Baptist Church and knew some of the guys here, and they asked me to come do a devotional."
Coleman said the first few times he led the devotional were by invitation, but that soon escalated to expectation.
"I really felt like the Lord was impressing on me, telling me, 'Okay, this is what I've been preparing you for,'" he recalled. "So, when it got to be a regular thing, I just knew… this was where I was supposed to be."
The transition wasn't easy. Coleman, his wife of nearly 25 years, Carol, and daughter Jadie Lynn were comfortable at Santuck Baptist and had no plans to leave. When he felt the initial call from God, the former bull rider said he knew what he had to do.
"I'm a cowboy. I've always been a cowboy, and I knew I would love nothing more than to be able to share Christ in a cowboy setting," said Coleman, who opts for a hat and boots over a preacher's robe or suit and tie. "But, I didn't want to force my family into something they didn't want. So, we prayed on it and, eventually, it became the right fit for us. We are blessed to be here."
Coleman said what sets Brush Poppers off from traditional churches, aside from the name – a cowboy term describing cowboys who pushed cows through the brush and rocks into pastures – is the atmosphere. At each Sunday's 9:30 a.m. service, a steel triangle mounted on the knotted pine wall sounds, indicating it's time to begin. In place of organs and large choirs with robes is a small music team mostly decked out in hats boots and buckles cowboys play acoustic guitar, piano and sing. Nothin' fancy, Coleman says, just simple music and simple messages.
"All are welcome here," he added. "Brush Poppers is a ministry for cowboys, non-cowboys, big city and just plain country folks who have been up and down the trail of life. It's about straight Bible teaching. The barriers that turn people off from traditional churches are removed here. We don't have offering plates; men can keep their hats on if it's important to them; and in place of deacons, we have vaqueros who serve as leaders. It's church done simple where we ask only one thing – come as you are."
Singer and church member Shannon Andress, a regional agent with the Alabama Cooperative Extension System, said she enjoys worshiping in a laid-back atmosphere.
"As someone who has always loved horses and the Western culture, this church suits me," Andress said. "I love having the ability to worship with others who share the same lifestyle."
Though Brush Poppers is unique to the area, cowboy churches are growing in popularity. Modeled after the Cowboy Church of Ellis County in Waxahachie, Texas, 17 certified cowboy churches open their doors to Alabamians each week. To become certified through the American Fellowship of Cowboy Churches, churches adhere to established criteria, including requirements that pastors and team leaders be cowboys.
"Without the cowboy heritage, we might as well be just another church in the country," Coleman said.

This nine drawer chest of drawers is not only a wonderful colour, it's also a wonderful size! 170cm chests are difficult to come by, so we were thrilled to find this in a delightful shade of turquoise. This is a very substantial piece of furniture with ample storage. Drawers open with the use of brass horse-shoe handles. We absolutely love it.
Is the top and sides the same colour as the front and is this the same as for the smaller 2 draw cabinet?

Malaysia in transition
Malaysia election campaign to kick off with uncertain outcome
Mahathir's party set back by gerrymandering and lack of rural support
CK TAN, Nikkei staff writer April 27, 2018 12:25 JST | Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysia is set to officially kick off an 11-day election campaign with nominations beginning on Saturday. The ruling coalition is thought will win the vote on May 9, but without the publication of any independent election poll, the result is hard to predict.
Prime Minister Najib Razak is defending the ruling alliance Barisan Nasional or National Front's unbroken winning streak since independence in 1957, taking on his former mentor and ex-Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.
Both men say they are confident of winning the majority of the 222 parliamentary seats but a victory hinges on who can extract the most votes out of the Malays, the largest ethnic group in the country, many of whom are conservative in rural constituencies.
Najib will defend Pekan, a rural constituency facing the South China Sea. Most of his colleagues in the cabinet will also seek re-election, including Foreign Minister Anifah Aman and Trade Minister Mustapa Mohamed.
The National Front is going to the polls on the back of a robust economy sustained by strong domestic spending and exports. Najib has vowed to continue with the ruling government's track record of bringing in more infrastructure developments, including the construction of the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high speed rail.
But the Mahathir-led opposition coalition Pakatan Harapan or Alliance of Hope is raising issues related to the rising cost of living, which will resonate with many in the lower and middle income groups. It is also condemning Najib's link to the scandal-tainted state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad.
The opposition is fighting an uphill battle, weakened by a recent redrawing of electoral boundaries that purportedly favors the ruling alliance. Its publicity campaign is also restricted by a lack of funds, prompting the heavy use of social media on the one hand to air political messages and on the other to plead for public donations.
To add insult to injury, Mahathir's Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia or the Malaysian United Indigenous Party has been slapped with a temporary ban by the Registrar of Societies on a technicality which the party will be challenging in court.
Separately, the country's Election Commission said on Tuesday that political parties can only display images of party presidents as campaign material, effectively ruling out Mahathir, who is the chairman of his own party and the opposition alliance.
"His face sells," said Yeo Bee Yin, an election candidate with the Democratic Action Party, a member of the opposition alliance, referring to Mahathir. Many especially in the rural areas remember fondly the 92-year-old reign as prime minister between 1981 and 2003.
Mahathir will be contesting in Langkawi, a northern island known for its beach resorts. The island and other rural constituencies, which account for the majority of the total seats hold the key to victory for both contesting alliances.
In their election manifestos, both parties dangled populist policies, promising to lift the financial burden of the lower income groups and spur developments in the countryside. Yet, the campaign so far has focused less on debating the merits of the election promises than mocking each other's leadership.
Mahathir called Najib a thief for his role in the mismanagement of funds at 1MDB, an accusation that the prime minister has repeatedly denied. Najib instead played the race card, claiming that Mahathir was being used by the Democratic Action Party, which is popular with ethnic Chinese Malaysians in urban areas, to split the Malay votes.
Five things to know about Malaysia's parliamentary election
Malaysia's politicians take election battle to cyberspace
To break into the ruling alliance's stronghold in the provincial states of Kedah, Perak and Johor, the opposition has held large-scale rallies with Mahathir and key leaders delivering speeches that were followed by thousands on the ground and on live-streaming videos on social media.
Daily posting, both free and sponsored on Facebook and Twitter, have become a key tool to counter the ruling alliance's election publicity in government-controlled press. One Malay video, "I am leaving soon," had Mahathir speaking poetically and emotionally about his struggles for the nation. It has attracted over 580,000 views and 20,000 shares on Facebook.
Still, these numbers on social media, whether it is of Mahathir's or Najib's followers, are not enough to forecast the outcome of the election. Independent pollsters have not publicized their findings although many observers predict a win for the incumbent.
The uncertainty is being perpetuated by multiple candidates contesting the first-past-the-post single representative seats. Smaller parties including the Islamic conservative Parti Se Islam Malaysia, or PAS, will be contesting in more than 150 seats, potentially reducing the winning odds for the Mahathir-led opposition.
Whoever wins the election will face the challenge of leading Malaysia's ambition to become a developed country and close the widening gap between the lower 40% of households earning less than 3,000 ringgit ($765) monthly and the rest of the population. The incoming government will also need to mend distrust among the different ethnic groups in the country.

Q: jQuery Accordion - Setting "Active Panel" during load Having a strange issue that I 'think' I know what the problem is but don't know how to resolve it.
I have a page that contains a jQueryUI Accordion, I'm trying to set the "Activate" during runtime, but I can only get this to work if I put an "Alert();" before!
I do have a number of getJSON calls that populates the contents of the Accordion (determines how many panels it has to have) and once this is complete then needs to jump to the appropriate panel.
The actual call is here:
function jumpToAccordionDate(d,m,y){
var el3=$('#h'+d +  m +  y);
$('#accordion').accordion('activate',el3);}

Previously, during the creation of the accordion, I've already set the id of the H3 element by the following:
$('#accordion').append('
' + cDate + '

').accordion('destroy').accordion();

Is there someway of, maybe waiting for the Accordion to totally finish rendering on the DOM before I call the jumpToAccordionDate, or is there a better alternate?

A: I think the create event might solve your timing issue. The documentation is a little vague, but you could tap into it like this:
$("#accordion").accordion({
    create: function() {
        jumpToAccordionDate(...);
    }
});

Soreness vs Pain: What's the Difference?
One question that physical therapists get quite often is "Is this pain normal?" or "No pain no gain, right?". Sometimes this is a difficult distinction to make. Muscle soreness is a regular part of exercise, but sometimes pain can be an indicator of injury. The signs to look for include a duration of over 2-3 days after the activity or sharp pain with exercise or even at rest. This article on the Move Forward website is full of valuable information including an easy to follow chart.

Since the end of Gossip Girl (RIP), we've seen Leighton Meester star alongside Gwyneth Paltrow in Country Strong, appear on the hit Broadway show Of Mice and Men, and she recently embarked on a successful singing career with the launch of her record Heartstrings which has a strong folk influence.
Here is a World EXCLUSIVE of Leighton Meester's photo diary including some of her favourite styles from the Jimmy Choo SS15 collection.
Hi Leighton, tell us about your new music and album?
I just got back from a tour for Heartstrings, my first record. I played in nine cities and now planning on another leg for more shows. It has been a really great experience travelling with my music. I've been working on the record for over two years so I'm really pleased to finally tour with it and I've grown immensely because of it. It's insanely fun performing my songs, and it feels surreal interacting with the people who've heard it. It's a confessional, very personal record and I'm really proud of every aspect of it.
Wearable tech at its finest.
What's your red carpet style?
It varies, which is what I find most fun about getting dressed for an event. I like to experiment and change depending on mood, but comfort is most important to me.
Jeans and tees, jumpers, denim jacket, comfortable long skirt and sweater.
I love going to my hometown and being with my family in Florida. It's off season in summer when it's hot, so it's empty. We spend time on the boat and cook out, and have beach and pool days.
What is your favourite summer song?
I like Beach House, Mac Demarco and Joni Mitchell for breezy tunes.
If you could be in someone else's shoes for the day whose would it be?
I look up to Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, who speaks up for all women and their right to health care.
What is your favourite thing about summer dressing?
All the options of different styles, open toe shoes and not having to layer.
What are your three desert island beauty essentials?
Spf (Biotherm Lait Solaire), lip balm (Homeoplasmine or Aquafor), cuticle oil (Nuka or unrefined coconut oil).
Reusable stainless steel or glass water bottle, sunglasses, hand cream or cuticle oil, lip balm, hair clips and pins, and current reading material.
Jimmy Choo sunglasses, which are also my most often utilised.
Are there any items that you did or would like to steal from any of your character's wardrobes?
Yes, I was able to keep a lot of clothes from Life Partners and Like Sunday, Like Rain. The characters were both casual dressers so they get a lot of wear.
Intelligent, passionate women who fight for the education, equality and empowerment of others and the women and men who support them.
How do you feel that your style has changed through the years?
Like anyone, I've gone through phases, but the biggest difference is that I'm less concerned with fashion for fashion's sake. I find that I'm happiest when I'm comfortable in my favourite key items, so I just add or subtract from my tried and true items to create a certain look.
Where are your LA hotspots?
I don't know many hotspots in LA because I spend most of my time at home or travelling. I garden and cook, but when I go out to eat I usually get sushi, like Sugarfish or Katsuya, or Mexican food at Casa Vega.
What do you think defines LA style?
The nicest thing about LA for me is the weather and proximity to the ocean. During the day, you could be at the beach or wearing summer clothes and be able to add layers like a sweater or light jacket for when it gets chilly at night.
What are your tips for looking and feeling your best?
The most important aspect of emotional well-being for me is getting enough rest. I go to sleep and wake up early, and rest when I need, which is important in staying healthy when you have a hectic schedule. Stretching, staying hydrated and keeping my body in motion, even with a relaxing walk, is very equalising.
Not taking it too seriously, and bucking judgment.

Wilma Mishoe has been named the next president of Delaware State University.
Delaware State University has named Wilma Mishoe — daughter of late DSU President Luna Mishoe and DSU's first female board chair — its 11th president, effective July 1.
DSU made the announcement late Friday, after the university's Board of Trustees voted unanimously to name Mishoe to the position. She had been serving as interim president since January, when former president Harry Williams left to serve as CEO of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund in Washington, D.C.
"At the board level, we are pleased but not surprised by Dr. Mishoe's leadership," said Devona Williams, who has been named DSU's next chairwoman.
"She has dedicated her life to higher education for those too often overlooked and often marginalized and has story after story of student achievement that in large measure can be attributed to her leadership."
Mishoe said she was honored to take on the role and continue in her father's footsteps. Luna Mishoe was a man of few words, she said, but would be brimming ear to ear if he could see her now.
"I'm up there in the clouds somewhere right now," Wilma Mishoe said Friday night. "I think it's been less than an hour since they made that announcement, and I'm not numb, but I'm floating in the clouds right now. I am honored, but it's also an awesome, awesome responsibility.
"I love working with the students, they are what get me up in the morning and put a smile on my face."
Mishoe and Williams made history in August 2017 by being named the first board chairwoman and vice chairwoman, respectively, in the university's 126-year history.
From there, Mishoe went on to become interim president. She oversaw a comprehensive review of every policy and practice at the university this spring, and also led discussions about better customer service, student life, teaching and instruction, athletics, and budgeting and accounting. The university has made 10 new hires since January, in various strategic positions.
In May, Mishoe asked the Delaware General Assembly for an eye-popping $100 million for capital funding, more than twice the capital appropriation the Dover-based university has received in the last 10 years — combined.
And at DSU graduation this year, the entire university celebrated as Gov. John Carney formally signed legislation to strengthen the Inspire Scholarship, which offers assistance for qualifying high school students to attend Delaware State University, Executive Vice President and Provost Tony Allen added.
The program was extended to eight continuous semesters — from six — allowing eligible students to benefit throughout their college career.
In addition to serving on DSU's board since 2015, Mishoe was previously an administrator and acting president at Wilberforce University in Ohio, one of the oldest historically black universities in the country.
She also worked for 30 years at Delaware Technical and Community College, before retiring in 2010.
From 1975-1980, Mishoe served as the dean of students and director of financial aid at then-Wilmington College, working under the school founder Donald E. Ross. A longtime resident of Dover, Mishoe was a member of the Capital School District Board of Education from 1994-1999, and its board president from August 1997 to July 1999.
She has served on numerous state and local boards, including the Delaware Public Integrity Commission, the Governor's Committee on People with Disabilities, the Delaware Foster Care Board, the Dover Housing Authority Board of Directors and many others.
Her father, Luna Mishoe, was president of Delaware State College from 1960 to 1987, an era of growth and transformation for the institution.
Debbie Harrington, a trustee and chair of DSU's Student Success Committee, said in some ways, Wilma was raised to lead the university. She and her sister, Rita, both had a strong presence on campus during their father's 27-year tenure.
John Ridgeway, who graduated from DSU himself in 1975 and was named the Board of Trustee's new vice-chair Friday, said he received an overwhelming number of phone calls and requests to name Mishoe president.
"I think it's going to be very favorably received by the alumnus," he said.
Devona Williams said Mishoe was a good fit because she shares the Board of Trustee's vision for the future: to make DSU the No. 1 Historically Black College and University in the country, and the No. 1 choice for Delaware high school students.
"In short order, she has repositioned the focus of the institution squarely on our students, requiring that we all — trustees, faculty, and staff — look through the lens of the student in everything we do," Williams said.
The day before Mishoe was named president she went to Washington, D.C., with rising DSU senior Fatima Edwards for Beating the Odds, an annual summit held by Michelle Obama for first-generation college students.
Edwards, who spoke on a panel at the event, said Mishoe had heard she was going and wanted to be there.
"She's really about her students, so she wanted to show her support," Edwards said.
Within 30 days of Mishoe being named the interim president, she met with students and asked for their honest opinions on DSU, Edwards said. She also went around campus, asking students questions.
Edwards said she took all their feedback and relayed it back to DSU's various department heads, eager to improve the students' experience.
"I am honestly really overjoyed," Edwards said about Mishoe being named president. "I love Dr. Mishoe. She's so nice. She has such a big heart."

Maybe you didn't have the time to come and visit us this year. That's ok. We won't hold it against you. In fact, we want you to feel like you had a vacation, so we are here to help bring Cabo Coffee to you. Shop our convenient online store for your favorite Cabo Coffee Beans!
We roast our single origin 100% organic Mexican beans two ways: dark and medium. Our personal impressions are that the dark roast has a rich, smokey flavor with a very smooth finish. It also makes an excellent espresso. The medium roast is full-bodied with a delicious nut-like flavor. We serve both every day in our stores and we often change from one to the other depending on our moods.
Despite our tongue in cheek "Death Before Decaf®" slogan, we actually roast a fantastic decaf coffee. Our green beans are from Veracruz and are decaffeinated using what is known as the Natural Method. People constantly tell us it is the best decaf they have ever had.


Since 2000 we have been involved in directly creating, hosting, running, managing and often delivering well over 500 events of all sizes ranging from various ICT and Internet Marketing workshops to formal black tie awards dinners with audiences ranging from a compact 12 to a significant 250.
One of our key strengths is that we understand the market we need to attract and because we understand business, we know the hot topics and how to attract the relevant audiences.
In 2010 and 2011, we also ran events in Glasgow attracting the magnificent Rand Fishkin from SEOMoz (2010) and Matt Bailey of SiteLogic (2011) as guest speakers.
The vast majority of our smaller events focus on ICT which encompasses e-business, e-commerce, CRM, CMS, e-marketing, Online marketing, using Google analytics, Social Media exploitation, integration of online and offline marketing strategies, back-office systems, Online law and mobile commerce.
Many of these can be awareness raising and generic in content but often, upon request they are very content specific workshops.
The demand may change but if relevance and quality is delivered, whether these events are free or chargeable to attend, audience delegates will be driven to do more as a direct result.
It is vitally important that we attract the correct delegates to the audience as this has been shown to promote uptake and implementation of the topic far more effectively.
We particularly want to ensure that we have the right speaker or compere where appropriate so ocassionally call on the services of a long time friend and fellow professional David Meehan of David John Associates whose management agency helps source just what and whom we need.
The venues we use are always fit for purpose and the feedback we get is always positive and should it for any reason not meet any individual expectations, we want to hear about it to make sure we can fix any issue in time to fix things so your event runs as you want it to.
We are happy to work with external partners in managing their events and we are delighted to discuss your needs and see what assistance we can provide.


A third of Skyfall's £100million budget was paid for by product placement deals and who can blame them. Bond is a living god: the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit of all things cool.
I can't wait to see it. The 'intelligent' and 'ambitious' girl will still no doubt have legs up to Orion's belt. There'll be a fuel guzzling Aston Martin leaving Jeremy Clarkson slobbering for metaphors, an Omega watch, extreme violence, all washed down with a swig of Heineken.
The other thing that's guaranteed is sharp threads. I've blogged about the Bond tailors in a previous post. If your business involves a needle and thread, then kitting out Fleming's finest has got to be the ultimate gig.
Anthony Sinclair (Sean Connery), Doug Hayward (Roger Moore), Brioni (Piers Brosnan) and Tom Ford (Daniel Craig) all have got their 007 wings. It might mean sacrificing a hundred suits during filming but imagine the payback? A honey pot the size of Canada faced with a hurricane of fifty pound notes.
Whilst the saviour of Gucci dines out with the Broccoli massive, at least a few crumbs fall from the table to tailors like myself who are still scratching our way up.
Single breasted, two buttons, straight pocket flaps. Looks rather classical. Then you spot the gorge on the lapel. It's higher than usual. And check out the fronts. They're more cut-away than normal. As for the jacket length, it's on the short side. Not 'Top Man' freeze your bum to death short, but certainly more contemporary in length. Finally the shoulder.
The shoulder is to tailoring what terroir is to wine-making. It's shape and character sets the tone and silhouette of everything below and is the first thing somebody notices because it's in their line of sight.
Essentially there are two types of shoulder. One that is 'natural', often soft and unstructured, and one that is straighter and more constructed.
Style forums are full of posts declaring the Italians as the godfathers of the "natural" shoulder. It makes sense that in a hot climate, a tailor would want to offer his customers lighter weight cloth, and as such need to use light-weight scaffolding underneath.
The hallmark of a Neapolitan shoulder is one of little (if any) padding and canvas. They also cut the sleeves wider at the top, and this excess cloth is sewn, or 'eased' into the shoulder / armhole.
This combined with a clever manipulation of the seams when sewing the sleeve and the shoulder together will often create a slight 'puff' or pucker. Some of this can be shrunk away by pressing, although many dandies declare it a thing of beauty.
This is often referred to as a shirt shoulder, or "spalla camicia," a picture of which is shown below and made by Napoli Su Misura.
Italians don't have a monopoly on the less is more school of thought. Anderson and Sheppard's soft 'drape cut' is very similar. Here's Karl, one of their ex employees and now running his own show, wearing a coat with a typically soft, rounded shoulder.
Military and horsey Savile Row tailors such as Dege & Skinner, Gieves & Hawkes and Huntsman tend to go for a bit more welly in the shoulder. The same can be said for Brioni and Caraceni. It's probably why they do so well in the States as the Yanks, like myself, prefer a more imposing shoulder line.
An example can be seen below in what I consider to be one of the finest and most iconic suits ever made.
The shoulder is straight, there's certainly some padding and I think it flatters and draws attention to his naturally broad shoulders.
Piers, in his Brioni, also has a more constructed shoulder, however his are 'roped' at the end.
The Roped Shoulder, or Con Rollino, is named as such when the sleeve is higher than the shoulder line, as if it has been draped over a rope. I think it looks more formal and is what my customer wanted, similar to the Tom Ford special in my first photo.
As far as Michelsberg is concerned, we've always used padding in the shoulders including a 'sleeve-head,' which sits between the sleeve and the shoulder and is shown below.
I explained to Jon, Debbie and Sandra in the workroom that a 'rope' was the goal and we got busy. It wasn't easy, but then doing new things never is. We cut the crown (top) of the sleeves with more fullness (so there was extra cloth to create the rope) and added another layer of construction in the head-roll, which I'm pointing out with my stitch-cutter below.
With some scratching of chins and clever sewing we achieved the following.
There are still a few things to sort out but that's what it's all about. Pushing the boundaries, being open to new ideas and not being afraid to fail.
I've made my peace with the crushing blow that I'll never get to be James Bond. Which leaves the next best thing. Dressing him. Velvet collar, Daniel?

Shortly after 8 a.m. local time Saturday morning, an employee at the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency settled in at the start of his shift. Among his duties that day was to initiate an internal test of the emergency missile warning system: essentially, to practice sending an emergency alert to the public without actually sending it to the public.
It was a drill the agency had started with some regularity last November — around the time Hawaii reinstated its Cold War-era nuclear warning sirens amid growing fears of an attack by North Korea — and so, while the tests were not yet routine enough to be predictable, they were not entirely new either, according to an agency spokesman.
"In this case, the operator selected the wrong menu option," HEMA spokesman Richard Rapoza told The Washington Post on Sunday.
Hours afterward, Hawaii Gov. David Ige (D) apologized for the "pain and confusion" the wayward alert had caused and said it had been "a mistake made during a standard procedure at the changeover of a shift and an employee pushed the wrong button." But one day after the debacle, more details are emerging about how such a mistake occurred, amid growing calls for accountability and for a close reexamination of the wireless emergency alert system.
On Sunday, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai called the false alert "absolutely unacceptable" and said a full investigation was "well underway." At least initially, Pai seemed to cast blame on state-level officials for the error.
Pai did not elaborate on what safeguards or process controls were lacking in Hawaii that might typically be in place elsewhere. Wireless emergency alerts are dispatched during critical emergency situations — to warn the public of dangerous weather, missing children and security threats — and are a partnership of the FCC, FEMA and the wireless industry. While the FCC establishes rules and regulations surrounding emergency alerting, responsibility for sending those messages typically falls to emergency management officials.
Part of what worsened the situation Saturday was that there was no system in place at the state emergency agency for correcting the error, Rapoza said. The state agency had standing permission through FEMA to use civil warning systems to send out the missile alert — but not to send out a subsequent false alarm alert, he said.
Though the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency posted a follow-up tweet at 8:20 a.m. saying there was "NO missile threat," it wouldn't be until 8:45 a.m. that a subsequent cellphone alert was sent telling people to stand down.
"We had to double back and work with FEMA [to craft and approve the false alarm alert] and that's what took time," Rapoza said.
That has since been remedied, he said, with a cancellation option that can be triggered within seconds of a mistake.
The federal government keeps track of North Korean launches through several means, including satellite surveillance, and officials around Trump would have known that no missile was detected.
Trump was not seen in public Saturday, and he issued no statements about the incident.
The only public mention of the incident came from deputy White House Press Secretary Lindsay Walters, who made clear that the federal government was not involved.
"The president has been briefed on the state of Hawaii's emergency management exercise. This was purely a state exercise," Walters said.
Walters also accompanied Trump to Florida.
Why does MH17 crash report avoid the word 'missile'?

Who should win 'Live to Dance'?
Wednesday night's "Live to Dance" finals featured some of the most flawless routines I've seen in one single episode of a reality show (having a lot of experience watching some of the many others out there). Paula, Travis and Kimberly (and the audience) definitely picked some incredibly talented dancers to compete for the $500,000.
As the show neared an end, I was sincerely stumped as to which act deserved to win the big prize (which meant, dear readers, it was time to get nitpicky). At first, I was all for Twitch, for their unique blending of dance styles. My reaction was along the same lines as that of Travis Payne, with an exaggerated facial expression and the word (words?) "AAahhahhahahaitwasawesome!!!!!!"
But then Dance Town Chaos, like a good poker player, "saw" their routine and raised it to another level (did I see some krumping in there?).

Maggie Beer in crusade to improve food for aged care residents
This article was written by Simon Wilkinson, published in The Advertiser and on www.adelaidenow.com.au on 17 February 2014.
Ms Beer has teamed with Country Health SA in spearheading a push to improve the food served in regional aged care facilities in SA.
The project will be trialled initially at Mount Pleasant Hospital and Abbeyfield Residential Care in Williamstown as part of the State Government's Ageing Action Plan.
Ms Beer said her interest in the diet of the elderly had been sparked when she was named Senior Australian of the Year in 2010.
She plans to unveil further initiatives during a major forum on the theme at this year's Tasting Australia festival.
"It is such a huge thing to change," she said. "It is going to be the rest of my life. I am on this journey and I am gathering my forces with like-minded people around Australia.
"Good food is important for everyone, but more so for someone who has limited control over their future. What can be more immediate than giving people beautiful food and the difference it makes to every day in their life.''
Ms Beer said she would be following the lead of her friend Stephanie Alexander, whose Kitchen Garden Foundation has revolutionised food education in primary schools around the country.
"I've learnt so much from the way Stephanie has made such enormous change. In a sense she is, as ever, my mentor. She has shown me the way."
Ms Beer said the seed for the campaign was planted when she was named Senior Australian of the Year in 2010 and addressed a conference of aged care leaders.
She wanted to promote change "in a positive, inclusive way". One early priority would be to identify aged care facilities that were already doing a good job.
Another important step was finding ways to encourage facilities that weren't already doing so to purchase fresh, seasonal, local (Australian) ingredients in the preparation of the food for residents.
Health and Ageing Minister Jack Snelling said the project in regional centres would see Mrs Beer helping to develop and trial a new approach to food in aged care, with a focus on quality, freshness and presentation.
"This program is about trying to engage people and to have someone of Maggie Beer's profile and stature on board is a coup for us in terms of getting recognition and getting people involved," he said.
Ms Beer said the new initiative was an important step.
"This is a mission dear to my heart. So I am delighted to be working with Country Health SA in a project that has the potential to change the way we 'do food' in aged care in those facilities where beautiful, fresh food has not been a priority.
"I wanted to work with an organisation and show that together we could make better food choices."
Ms Beer will be part of a major forum on the elderly during the Tasting Australia festival, participating in a panel that will include the event's co-director Simon Bryant and industry leaders.
The festival will also run a cooking competition for chefs from aged care centres.
"They can make or break someone's day," Bryant said. "A normal chef doesn't have that influence, so they really are heroes."
Mr Bryant said some of the biggest hurdles facing aged-care homes were budgets, training and liability surrounding risks such as falls, food poisoning and choking.
"The first step is to collectively take responsibility and negate risk in a sensible way," Mr Bryant said.
In South Australia, more than 15,000 people are in residential care facilities, while nearly 70,000 people use home and community care services.
The numbers will increase dramatically in coming years. In 2011, the state had nearly 400,000 Baby Boomers (born 1946-64), which equated to 24.9 per cent of the population.
Dr Mike Rungie, the chief executive of not-for-profit aged care provider ACH, said the industry would welcome the involvement of Ms Beer.
"She is exactly the kind of person to lead a mindset change to the kind of things she talks about," he said. "And she is so loved. If Maggie Beer came in and talked about food, whatever you ate you would love."
Dr Rungie said he thought residential care, on the whole, did a good job, but faced two major challenges that were not dependent on budget.
"One is moving from a hospitality approach to an everyday approach. We all get bored with eating food in restaurants no matter how good it is and we yearn for the everyday.
"The second is that delight comes from variety. The problem with any service system is its quality comes from doing the same thing all the time.
"I don't think budget is an impediment, at least in the first place. It's not about money, it's about approach.

Summary: Purpose: The aim of this report is to present ocular condition associated with systemic malignancy – bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation (BDUMP).
Material: A 70 years old female patient was diagnosed due to the poor vision in the right eye, which lasted 6 months and mild blurred vision in the left eye. 2 years previously she underwent radiotherapy due to the lung cancer and bilateral cataract surgery. Based on complete ophthalmic examination, ultrasound, fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography a diagnosis of BDUMP was made.

Follow-up examination revealed only temporary improvement of visual acuity then exacerbation of the ocular lesions in both eyes.
Conclusion: BDUMP is accompanied by systemic malignancy. The rareness of the conditions makes the recognition difficult.
Keywords: paraneoplastic syndrome, bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation (BDUMP).

Christian Justus leads 28 Pages rock band

By Pete Zamplas- Henderson County native Christian Justus leads the rock band 28 Pages a decade after playing in innovative alt-rock Senatobia, and recently had a reunion concert for his earlier band Euphoria.
The classic rock cover band 28 Pages played recently in Asheville — at Wild Wing Cafe South on June 16, then June 23 at Pillar Rooftop Bar — and in The Grey Eagle months earlier.
Its most recent gig was Saturday night, in South Rock Sports Grill off the Greenville Highway just south of Downtown Hendersonville.
The band will play in nearby Brevard on Saturday, Aug. 3 at the Rock 'n Bowl recreation center in Brevard and Aug. 21 in Peaks & Creeks Brewing Co. at 212 King St.; also Aug. 4 Sapphire Mountain Brewing Co.
Its Henderson County venues include Sanctuary Brewing and Black Bear Coffee Co. in Downtown Hendersonville, Triskelion Brewery at 304 Seventh Ave. E.. Bold Rock Hard Cider in Mills River, and Flat Rock Pizza at 712 Upward Road.
Starting this week, Jason Lane is returning as main vocalist and guitarist. The band covers hits from the Sixties into this decade — largely classic rock of the Seventies and Eighties. Keyboardist Steven Posey said, "We mix different styles. There's something for everyone" into rock.
Band leader Justus said, "Music to me is such a rush — especially to play it live. Rock can go into so many directions." In bands "I've played rock, metal, country, Top 40, beach, and dabbled in jazz."
Former Fla. Gov. Bob Graham and U.S. senator (D-Fla.), now 81, is on the band's mailing list after hearing about the band name, Justus said. The senator's hunch was right it had to do with the 28-page commission report (in '04) on the 9/11/01 attacks. Graham chaired the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2001-03.
Justus is "fascinated with conspiracy theories" — mostly UFOs. The band voted for 28 Pages. He said it "sounds cool, and flows well." He points out "this band is not affiliated with 28Pages.org, or any other activist movement."
Though doing mostly covers, 28 Pages has originals including several light rock tunes by Lane, a few songs by Justus, with more new ones in the works. The band plans to record soon in Andy Bishop's home studio Giraffe Studios in Hendersonville.
Justus' musical message is on relationships in the ballad "There May be a Time," which went over well with the audience Saturday night. There is much sentimentality behind it the song, which took about 30 years and two generations to evolve.
His parents Terry and Theresa Justus played psychedelic and other rock in Orange Purple Marmalade in the Seventies, then calling it the Justice Band in the Eighties. "I grew up around music," Christian noted.
Terry died eight years ago. He wrote the song's first verse and a half and two chords — back in the Eighties. Terry did not finish the song, record it or play it in public. But it sure was a hit at home. "I have fond memories of hearing Dad on acoustic guitar, and he and Mom sing it," their son Christian said.
Christian wrote the rest of it, in recent months. "I wrote more of the story, and put in a bunch of chord changes. I kept the theme, the storyline. I elaborated on it."
Christian married longtime friend Marie (Slowik), in September of 2016. Her stepfather Mike McMinn played guitar and bass in 1979 with Marmalade.

Justus said his father's lyrical theme was "people spend their lives together, but it's not all roses. You go through the good and downtrodden times. But through it all, you stick with the one you love."
He penned such lines as "Life can be so sublime. then in a blink of an eye, turn so unkind" in the chorus. The first verse includes: "When we don't care anymore, when we don't share anymore. But tonight, I'm going to love you."
Christian Justus, 49, first formed a rock band in 1987-88 as a junior in East Henderson High School in East Flat Rock. The act was called Euphoria. They cranked out hard rock and rock originals, and played often in Asheville and Hendersonville.
"We hung out" as friends at East, future wife Marie recalled. Christian said they were "kinda dating" then. They both were in East's marching band. Christian was shy and "had his circle of musician fans" then, Marie said. "I fell in love with him in 2004," when they more truly dated. "We each married someone else. We met up again, in 2016," she said. "We realized we should be together." Marie has three children, and four grandchildren up to age five.
"Christian's passion for music" remains vibrant, Marie said. As a bassist "he got better, over the years. He's now a leader. He takes charge" more, beyond doing bookings for decades.
Former Euphoria members came from as far as Oregon to do reunion shows — first in 2015, next in The Grey Eagle last year, then in mid-June for a jam-packed outdoor show at Bold Rock. Justus also opened, with 28 Pages.
Euphoria lead guitarist Kenny Stephenson has known bassist Justus since they were both age five. Even today, gentlemanly Justus is more reserved and Stephenson bubblier. Their keyboardist Tim Smith is also a 1989 East grad. A want ad in IWANNA landed them East alum Gene Miller, as lead singer. The act lasted a dozen years, to 1999.
Theresa Justus was "integral" as interim drummer, as needed, Christian said, and drummed in part of the latest reunion show.
Stephenson plays guitar in the trio Awake in the Dream, often at South Rock's monthly motorcycle bike nights. His band freshly covers classics and recent hits, and plays originals infused by progressive rock and recent styles.
Next (1999-2004) forJustus came popular alt rock Senatobia, which did mostly originals and was based in Asheville. The band made national college radio charts, and recorded three LPs and an EP. Justus was the main arranger, and backing vocalist. As bassist he adjusted to frontman Phil Lomac's "bizarre tunings. I could play five or six notes under his chord, and it all worked. I gave me a lot of freedom, to write broader base lines" for a more dynamic sound.
Senatobia's still-slender drummer, Andy Balla, now drums for 28 Pages. He and Lane are 28 Pages' extroverts. He has not merely a day job, but owns a business in Hendersonville. As the newest "Mad Signtist," Balla crafts business signs. The band often rehearses in his shop, at 408 Seventh Ave. E.
Posey, who sings many songs, also lives in Henderson County. Justus has lived in Asheville, but is back in his native Crab Creek. He is three weeks into work as a detention officer in Hendersonville. He has a less captive audience for what he has to say, at his music gigs.
Justus was out of state for much of this decade. He played "melodic metal" in band Echoes of Solitude, in Virginia. He and Lane played this area with Crystal Tears. "We jammed in his house in Brevard," and later did a live recording there, Justus said. "It felt magical."
He formed 28 Pages in July of 2016 before moving back to Henderson County full-time a half-year later in early '17, to be with Marie and reconnect with friends and the music scene. Public gigs for 28 Pages began last summer.
In their gigs, Justus sings such rock hits as Tom Petty's hypnotic "Last Dance with Mary Jane," and ballads "Little Wing" by Jimi Hendrix and Elvin Bishop's "Fooled Around and Fell in Love."
Lane was the band's original lead singer, playing for a year and a half before a job pulled him away from the band. He is back. Lane is adept on acoustic guitar, in his solo works. Band members including a departing duo he replaces lauded Lane's vocals as the best in the band. Lane likely resumes singing l ead on some songs Posey has sung in his place.
Posey on Saturday sang REO Speedwagon's up-tempo "Roll With the Changes." Posey said he is a tenor, with also baritone mid-range. Posey sang Stevie Ray Vaughan's soulful "Pride and Joy," J. Geil Band's peppy "Centerfold," Petty's "Runnin' Down a Dream," Kenny Wayne Shepherd's '97 hit "Blue on Black," and Gary Clark Jr.'s "Bright Lights" from 2010. Posey sang rock ballads such as Bob Seger's "Turn the Page," Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," and "Purple Rain" by Prince.
Lane can pull off Burton Cummings ("The Voice") in the Guess Who's fast-paced "No Sugar Tonight," Justus noted.
Musicianship is a definite strength of this band. "Steven is top-notch on 'keys,' Justus said. Posey has played piano since age eight. The S.C. native has a music degree from Furman. He knows computer programming of sounds. He is a senior computer network engineer at Pardee Hospital. His wife of 22 years, Jeanine Granere Posey, was in East's marching band with Justus. Posey said, "I love playing with these guys."
Justus is creative like a jazz-like bassist. As Posey said, rather than playing a single note repeatedly like many rock bassists, "Christian goes all over the fret board."
Balla's drums are very prominent. He cues prolonged jamming. He even starts a rock hit with a different drum beat than the usual one. "It's what I feel at the moment," Balla said. "I'll feel my way into songs" with a long drum solo. Balla said "I can direct" the music, into "free form" for a more "organic" sound.
His bandmates tend to promptly catch on, and adjust to his beat, he said. As such, they "roll with the changes" — as REO would word it. Posey calls Balla's drum shifts a "fun" challenge, that "keeps it fresh." Balla's intricate drum "rolls" on an original instrumental inspired its name "Hot Buttered Rolls."
A bonus has been live sax from Dave Robbins, such as the screeching opening on Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street" and on "Turn the Page." Justus said "I never heard another band cover 'Baker Street.' We tried the instrumentation, and it worked for us." Going forward for such songs, Posey will play sax and flute among other sounds on his keyboard.
Saturday was 28 Page's farewell show with Robbins and blues guitarist-singer John Powers in the band. Those two are now focusing on their blues duo Me and Dave. They often play in the Casablanca Cigar Bar in Asheville. Powers is Posey's neighbor. Justus said "we're all connected by music — different projects together" over decades.

He is the current Champion of Africa after defeating Quadri Aruna to win Gold in the Men's Singles at the 2019 African Games, his debut appearance.
Olajide is known for his offensive playing style with a strong topspin stroke.
In 2017, Olajide secured a five-year sponsorship deal with the German manufacturer of kits, Gewo.

He competed for Nigeria at the 2016 African Championship (doubles event) and the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in Australia, winning Bronze and silver, respectively.

His first international appearance for Nigeria was in 2008 as a cadet at the 2008 International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) African Junior and Cadet Championships, which was held in Alexandria, Egypt.

In 2019, he was nominated for the Nigerian Sportsman of the Year Award by the ITTF.

Early years
Olajide attended Pedro Primary School, Famous, Bariga and later, Morocco Comprehensive High School, Igbobi Yaba, Lagos, for his Junior Secondary Education before proceeding to Baptist Senior High School, Obanikoro Palmgroove, for his Senior Secondary School Education.

Table tennis career

Olajide started playing Table Tennis at the age of 8. He was introduced to the game by his sister, Omobolanle Omotayo, a one-time national table tennis champion. He started his career playing for a local club, the Summer Table Tennis club, in his neighbourhood in Somolu Area, Lagos State. He represented his school in the Lagos State Table Tennis Competition for Primary Schools and the National School sports Competition at age 9. He started representing Nigeria at International Competitions at 11. In 2008, he represented Nigeria at the All African Junior Table Tennis Championships in Alexandria Egypt, where he won Bronze.

He has since then established himself as a key member of Nigeria's senior table Tennis  Team at several International Tournaments.

He aspires to get to the Top 50 ranked players in the world.

2015 African Games
Olajide failed to qualify for the 2015 African Games after losing a crucial game during the trials. He couldn't return to his club in Italy at the time and was on the verge of quitting Table Tennis completely. Quadri Aruna's record-breaking qualification for the  Rio 2016's Olympic Games quarter-finals gave him hope to fight back.

2018 Commonwealth Games
Olajide was one of the five male Table Tennis players selected to represent Nigeria at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. The Nigerian team included Bode Abiodun, Azeez Jamiu, Quadri Aruna, and veteran player, Segun Toriola.

Nigeria won silver at the end of the competition after losing to the Indian Team consisting of Sharath Kamal, Sathiyan Gnanasekaran and Harmeet Desai in the finals.

2018 African Championship in Mauritius
Olajide featured in the 2018 African Championship in Mauritius, representing Nigeria. He made it to the semi-finals after beating Togo's Atarou Assou and Angola's Elizandro André. He had a stunning outing as he defeated Egypt's no.3 seed, Mohamed El-Beiali and Shady Magdy, to make it to the semi-final round. Olajide lost to compatriot Quadri Aruna.

2019 ITTF World Team Cup
The Nigerian Team represented by Quadri Aruna, Olajide Omotayo and Bode Abiodun played against Team China in Group A at the 2019 ITTF Team World Cup. Olajide lost 3–0 to world number 10, Yun-Ju Lin in the game.

In the doubles match, Quadri and Olajide played against Cheng-Ting Liao and Chen Chien-an and lost (2-1). The Nigerian team lost (3-1) overall to exit the 2019 ITTF Team World Cup, which was held in Tokyo, Japan. Chinese Taipei finished second in the Group while Nigeria exited, bagging the third spot.

2019 African Games
At the 2019 African Games, which was held in Rabat Morocco, Olajide was up against three of the best players in Africa to become the continent's champion.
He played against two former champions – Egypt's Ahmed Saleh and Nigeria's Segun Toriola in the quarterfinal and semifinal stages.

The final was a classic with one of his role models in the game and the then highest-ranked African table tennis player, Quadri Aruna. Omotayo raced to the lead with a 3-0 (13-11, 11–9, 16-14). The more experienced Quadri had a good comeback in the 4th and 5th games cutting the lead to 3–2 with 8-11, 13–15. Omotayo scaled through with a 12–10 win to claim his first international Gold medal.

2020 Tokyo Olympics (2021)

Omotayo qualified for Men's Singles at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The Games were rescheduled to 2021 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. He was defeated in four (4) straight sets by Tiago Apolónia in the First Round.

Body Monologues The Main Theme at Terpoet's Open Mic Night at the Ulrich Recital Hall
By Michael Cutler
Students spent Wednesday night vocalizing poetry about the human body in a Terpoets event.
The Ulrich Recital Hall in Tawes Hall was silent except for the sounds of snapping as students applauded those who went up to the stage to express their poetry during Love Your Body Week.
This is the first event on a new stage since Milkboy ArtHouse closed. The atmosphere was very chill and welcoming as students would wander into their seats over time.
"I like the theater kind of vibe," The president of Terpoets, Ambi Narula, a senior journalism major and creative writing minor said.
Told from their website, "Terpoets seeks to create a space for free and open expression, as well as necessary cross-cultural dialogue." The Terpoets host meetings in Queen Anne's Hall every Monday at 8 p.m.
A member of the organization, Sara Fredrick, an astronomy graduate student, talked about how the group is "improving our poetry. Getting together to talk about ideas and writing around the prompt kind of puts us all on even footing and we just kind of write something spur of the moment and talk about what inspired us to write that."
Narula opened up the stage with one of her poems she wrote for the TOTUS course, a credit-experience that has the main goal of understanding social justice through poetry. Narula expressed her own struggles with the color of her skin in her poem.
"We don't typically do themes so I think this is a little different for me. I think that's something to get out of my comfort zone," Narula said. "This is a safe space."
Char Freedberg then took the stage and said a monologue about her mind. The monologue displayed deep emotions and stories of her life as she showed the audience how strong she was and how everyone should "try to find a way to cope" with the daily struggles of life. The room was silent as Frederick spoke with such emotion that she did not allow herself time to breathe in between her words.
"It's therapeutic to scream into a microphone," Char Freedberg said while talking about how she does voice acting as a way to express herself.
Other students took to the stage such as Matt Herskovitz, a sophomore English and government and politics major, who read his own poem.
"The sun rises to its peak at the house across the street. There's milk in the kitchen, kids playing basketball," he began with his poem.
The event was co-sponsored by the University of Maryland Counseling Center.
"The promotion really was about the fact that the Counseling Center is available just for whatever their concerns are," Dr. Kimberly Y. Campbell said.
The Counseling Center Staff Psychologist Campbell passed out refrigerator magnets to everyone who attended the event which contained self-care tips such as nourishing yourself daily, getting some rest, and expressing yourself.
"The promotion is just to remind students of the service that the university has at their disposal," Campbell said.
