Shortly after I arrived to KCDC's International Dance Village and the Dance Journey program began, I quickly learned how amazing this program and experience is.
When I decided to join the Dance Journey, it was not without uncertainties and anxieties regarding how it would be. Not only because it is far from home but also because I had numerous other desires and directions in life and my pre-professional dancing career. I knew it was to include high-level training with professional dancers and teachers from KCDC's main company and that the people in charge of the program were very friendly, but I had no idea what was awaiting me.
The ballet and modern dance classes our outstanding. I'm clearly gaining strength, flexibility and developing quality of movement in a new way. Moreover, in the early morning, evenings and weekends there is always space where I can warm up or train independently. For me, living in the same place where you are training is incredible. It offers me a relaxing and convenient environment where I can be focused on dance.
Kibbutz Ga'aton where the International Dance Village lies, is an incredibly beautiful place with such a friendly and welcoming environment. On weekends we can either stay and relax, work and create in the dance studios, or take a road trip with friends and discover the country even more! I'm beyond happy with my choice to attend this program and am fully aware and appreciative of every day I'm here.


NEW YORK (AP) - Victoria Beckham said she could talk about clothes all day long, and that's what she did Monday at New York Fashion Week.
NEW YORK (AP) � Victoria Beckham said she could talk about clothes all day long, and that's what she did Monday at New York Fashion Week.
Fresh from presenting her signature collection on the catwalk a day earlier, Beckham did back-to-back-to-back appointments to go through her contemporary line Victoria, Victoria Beckham. It's her preferred format to show off her designs.
"At the show, it's like you are standing in the street almost naked, and you don't know what's going to come. ... I enjoy the personal interaction and explaining the clothes," she said.
She said she also likes to meet with customers.
"I do a lot of in-store events, and this is the shape women want," Beckham said of a burnt-orange T-shirt dress.
She wore the most daring silhouette: a quilted, pouffy sky blue dress with a black grosgrain-ribbon hemline and crinoline underneath. It was an unexpected look for a woman who is typically photographed in clean, lean looks.
"There are two sides of my wardrobe, for both sides of my suitcase, one is collection and one is this," she said.
The palette here alternated between romantic sorbets and energized brights, she explained. There was one dress that incorporated 11 colors in a myriad of vertical pleats.
"This dress was technically hard to do," she said, seemingly proud of her accomplishment.
Toddler daughter Harper interrupted at that moment and asked if she could have one of the hot pink purses from the shelves of Beckham's temporary Meatpacking District showroom.
"She keeps stealing the show," a smiling Beckham said. "This is supposed to be about me."

Interview: Round-the-world cycle record holder Vin Cox
By lara dunn
Life on the road isn't all hardship and saddle sores – there are also moments of beauty, like this sunset in Australia
Vin Cox

Daily mileage
On 1 August 2010, Vin Cox triumphantly rolled into London to become the fastest person to cycle around the world, beating the previous records set by Mark Beaumont, James Bowthorpe and Julian Sayerer. Next month he'll compete in the UK & European Solo MTB Championships, so where do the man's cycling ambitions stop? Not there. Lara Dunn finds out where for BikeRadar…
Having pedalled some 18,000 miles round the world in a record breaking time, you'd think Vin Cox would be a super-human athlete, ready to tear the competition apart in the UK & European Solo MTB Championships in a month's time. In the past he's competed in cyclo-cross and 24-hour mountain bike races, so he should be well prepared.
"I used to be a downhiller, back in the early Nineties," says Vin. "I started downhill mountain biking because my cyclo-cross skills weren't so good. A year or so after I started doing downhill, I competed in the Junior World Championships on the national team. Next year I did the senior World Championships. Then I decided downhill was a sport for nutters and I ought to do proper cycling again. So I now do long enduros instead.
"I do 24-hour races every now and again, and I'm now entered into the Europeans. When I entered them they were just the Nationals, and now it's the Europeans as well. It's taking place on the Newcastleton 7stanes circuits in Scotland. I've never won a 24-hour race. At the first Mountain Mayhem I managed a podium finish, but then the first Mayhem was rather low-key. I got seventh at the Bontrager 24/12 a couple of years ago. I'm capable of a top 10 in that sort of thing – who knows what I can do in this European comp."
So was the round-the-world ride good or bad for Vin's fitness levels? Is he on top form for the European Championships? "I'm still rebuilding myself really after the RTW," he says. "I'm probably a bit heavy for it. I thought I could keep my fitness and be great, but I really couldn't. I had to ease off because my knees in particular had really started to ache, especially over the last 3,000 miles of the race.
Australian outback:
Vin Cox is still 'rebuilding himself' after his 18,000-mile journey
"Also, I was on a 10,000-calorie-a-day habit. Even if you halve that you're still talking twice what you need for sitting around! So I put on weight pretty fast after the race, my knees were still hurting, I didn't have any strength or speed in my legs anyway, I only had endurance. Eventually I decided to press the reset button and took a couple of weeks off the bike completely. I stopped eating pretty much as well.
"I'm now a few months into being a more normal cyclist again. I'm a bit more stocky than when I finished, but steadily losing weight, building fitness, gaining strength… I guess I'm probably exactly back to how I was before the RTW, with no benefits whatsoever, but at least I've not kept that weakness and those aches that I had as I finished."
Over 18,000 miles, through Europe, North Africa, Asia, New Zealand, Australia and the USA in 163 days is an impressive achievement in anyone's book, taking almost two weeks off the previous record set by James Bowthorpe and a week off that set by Julian Sayerer a short while later. Did Vin start out aiming for the record and did he always believe he was capable of breaking it?
"Really the record was a sort of tertiary goal, behind having an adventure and raising money for charity," he says. "But when it was looking more and more like I was going to get it, it did start to be a factor. Even then I had a month over Mark Beaumont, who had the record with Guinness at the time, and even now they've ratified the records that came between mine and Mark's, I've still got a week in hand, so I could have slowed down for 1,000 miles and that wouldn't have mattered. It would have been a bit close then, though.
"The issue was that there was another guy going round, called Alan Bate [Bate completed his attempt in 113 days in the end but this has yet to be ratified by Guinness ed]. He was going round in a very different style – the first to try it with a support crew. He looked just like a road racer, on his carbon fibre bike, with no bags and stuff, and was doing a good old pace.
Sinai desert, egypt:
Vin broke the round-the-world record on this Genesis Croix de Fer cyclo-cross bike, carrying all his own equipment
"He was going to finish about the same time as me, so the challenge for me was to make sure I finished before him, so that there wasn't any confusion for the record. My sister insisted, 'you're just going to have to get here as fast as you can. Don't make any detours anywhere, you're just coming straight here'. I remember speaking on the phone with her when I was in Utah, and her saying, "get here fast and stop faffing around'.
"Breaking the record for cycling around the world wasn't a challenge that had always been in my mind, but I was raised on stories of cycle touring and was encourage to cycle and do outdoorsy, adventurous things as a child. What really sparked that as being a challenge I wanted to try was probably watching Mark Beaumont's documentary. I remember sitting there with my wife, saying, 'he looks like he's having a horrible time! I'd enjoy that!' I think the TV programme tried to make it look more gruelling and tough. I was thinking that it would be a brilliant adventure to have, and that I could do it and enjoy doing it."
Originally, the route was supposed to take Vin through South America, making him the first RTW challenger to have tackled all the continents except Antarctica. What happened to change that? "I needed to go over the Andes if I was going to do South America," says Vin. "My original schedule had me getting there just before mid-winter, before the worst of the snows."As it panned out, it was going to be after that, so it would have been pretty harsh getting over the mountains. I did try to stay focused on having an adventurous time, and that would have been more adventurous, but a little bit of speed pressure finally got to me."
Perhaps Cox's secret was a combination of fitness, determination and the desire to enjoy the journey? "I don't want to sound too arrogant about it, but I knew from previous touring holidays that I could break the record time and enjoy it," says Vin. "The challenge was to keep enjoying it, because I knew if I stopped enjoying it I probably wouldn't be able to keep doing it. So I deliberately chose a route that wasn't necessarily the fastest but passed through some interesting places and that would keep me mentally motivated to keep going. So, I did that and, sure enough, I could sustain that mileage.
"That would be my worry for somebody trying to beat me actually – that they might choose a more boring but faster route, which they'd have to do to definitely beat me, but then they might get bored with it. I think it's really important when you're pushing yourself like that to maintain morale. There's obviously different motivation for different people but I just wanted to enjoy myself."
It was essential for Vin that his trip remained fun, not just a mindless slog
Despite his amazing positivity, there were obviously dark times for Vin during such a long and arduous ride. A savage bout of dysentery in Libya dented his blistering average mileage, but he was prepared and got through it. "I got to Libya on an average of about 135 miles a day," he says. "It was all still going brilliantly, despite having been through a few sandstorms. Within a couple of days of being there, I was bedridden and felt about as bad as I've ever felt in my life. I've been hospitalized with dysentery before and this was worse!
"Thankfully, I had the right medication with me and I knew that a hospital wouldn't necessarily be the best place to be. So with the right medication and somebody to bring me water, all I needed to do was sit it out, really. I was very lucky. There are almost no hotels in Libya, but I got ill at a big tourist site, Leptis Magna, which is a world heritage site. So, there were some hotels near there."
Re-acclimatisation to everyday life doesn't seem to have been a problem, and Vin still finds himself quite bemused by the idea that he's the holder of a world record – something he feels that, as a nation, Great Britain has a particular affinity with. "It's surreal," he says. "The Sunday Times phoned me up a couple of weeks ago and they were asking why I think it's a British record. All the people who've held it have been Brits, and most of the riders who are going to do this race I'm organizing are Brits too. So they asked why I thought that was the case.
"I think Brits like world records because we were all brought up with Record Breakers on the telly. It still doesn't feel quite right for me to say that I hold that. Perhaps when I no longer hold it, I'll feel a bit more natural about it. I know I've got to shout about it a bit, to open doors to get sponsors for my race, but there's a part of me that shies away from it – it doesn't feel like me."
The 'race' Vin nonchalantly mentions is an epic plan to persuade anyone wanting to tackle the round-the-world challenge in 2012 to start it at the same time, from the same point. "Aside from my normal IT work, the other thing I've had fun doing is cycle events," he says. "I've organized cyclo-cross races to put something back into the sport. I'm friends with Pat Adams, who's organised Mountain Mayhem, and I've helped out at those races for a long time as well.
On the road:
Vin hopes to inspire others to follow in his tyre tracks with his Race Around The World
"I've seen that far from being embarrassing that somebody takes money out of the sport, if somebody professionally organises an event on such a grand scale, where they're creating publicity and getting sponsors into the sport, then that's a very constructive thing to do. If I can turn this into a job, or just make a little bit of money on the side from it – enough to make it worth committing some good time to creating something big – that would be great.
"It seems to be going well at the moment. People are very enthusiastic and interested in it as a new concept – the ultimate biggest race you could have. It's mainly Brits – probably half the riders who've expressed an interest are Brits. There are also a couple of Australians and a Spanish guy. There are about 20 interested at the moment. I thought half a dozen people would be fine, but this is absolutely brilliant.
"It's almost all from recommendation and word of mouth at the moment, it hasn't even been properly launched yet as an event. There's no website yet, it's just growing and generating interest as a concept. I've set a start date – I worked out that if my record is going to fall in an organised race around the world, I'd like it to fall in London, just before the Olympics start, so I worked back 160 days from that and the start will be on 18 February."
Vin's other plans for the future include a ride from Lhasa to Kathmandu, the Great Divide Mountain Bike race, a visit to the Andes to tackle the section he had to miss out of his RTW route and a host of more unusual rides around the UK. There's also a book in the pipeline, which should be out by the end of 2011, all going according to plan.
Would he do it all again, to try to break his own record? Perhaps with a support team this time? "Oh God, that would be horrible!" he says. "Having somebody behind me, like those Race Across America guys, with loudspeakers shouting at them all the time. I'd be a mindless robot suffering for all those months, rather than somebody in control of their own destiny. No, that would be awful for me.
"To beat my own record, the main thing I'd have to do would be to either ride a faster bike and/or take an easier, faster route, but it then becomes less interesting. I deliberately took a route that I could break the record on but that would be interesting. I do think that gradually people will have to choose less interesting routes."
A recent remark by Vin on Twitter sums up his positivity about his ride around the world, his enthusiasm for the Race Around The World concept and his hopes for a more peaceful world around which to ride: "I'll celebrate when eventually my circumnavigation record is beaten. It will signal that the world again has a safe path around it."

Zionist Parachutists - Between 1943 and 1945, the British army Special Operations Executive, in collaboration with the Jewish Agency, sent about 37 specially trained volunteer commandos, mainly Kibbutz and Palmach members into German occupied Europe and Axis satellite states. The Jewish Agency had requested organization of such a force beginning in 1942, but the British only consented to implement the plan in 1943.. The Jewish Agency had envisioned hundreds of air-borne commandos, but the British trained only about 110 and ultimately only about 37 were parachuted into Europe or infiltrated by other means. By the time the British had approved the scheme and implemented it, it was too late to save most of European Jewry, which had been exterminated in the Holocaust. Most of those selected for training had come on Aliya (immigration to Palestine) from the countries they were infiltrating and had intimate knowledge of the area.
Left to right: Haim Hermesh, Haviva Reik, Rafi Reiss, Abba Berdichev, and Zvi Ben-Yaakov on their way to liaison with Slovak Partisans. Tri Duby air base, near Banska Bystrica, Slovakia, September 1944. Haim Hermesh was the only one of the five to evade capture and survive the war.
Three of the parachutists infiltrated Hungary including the famous Hannah Senesh, who was caught and shot. Five were parachuted into Axis Slovakia to aid the Slovak national uprising in September 1944. These included Haviva Reik (Chaviva Reich) and four others. Four of these were caught and executed including Haviva Reik. Six operated in northern Italy, including Enzo Sereni who was caught and executed. Ten parachutists served with British liaison missions to the Yugoslav partisans. Nine operated in Rumania, two others in Bulgaria, one in France and another in Austria. The French operative was captured on his seventh mission.
In all, the Germans captured 12 and executed 7 of the 37 parachutists sent into occupied Europe.
Following the establishment of the State of Israel, remains of the seven parachutists who lost their lives during the war were interred in the National Military Cemetery on Mt. Herzl in Jerusalem.

Music legend Maurice White dies at age 74
February 10, 2016 - by Dwight Hobbes
Maurice White, a singular force in popular music, passed on February 4 after some four decades of contending with Parkinson's disease. Following precedent-setting soul funksters Sly & the Family Stone, Maurice White led Earth, Wind & Fire to revolutionize the sound, in turn succeeded most notably by Ohio Players.
White began in music by playing with childhood pal Booker T. Jones in a high school band before moving from South Memphis to attend the Chicago Conservatory of Music, drumming in area clubs. He eventually landed session work at famed Chess Records, where he recorded with the likes of Ramsey Lewis (whom he later joined in the Ramsey Lewis Trio), the Impressions, and Sonny Stitt, as well as blues legends Buddy Guy and immortals Etta James and Muddy Waters.
White also played the drums on historic hits by Fontella Bass ("Rescue Me") and Billy Stewart ("Summertime"). With the Ramsey Lewis Trio, Maurice played on nine albums, including Wade in the Water, on which the single "Hold It Right There" won a Grammy Award.
A fledgling early incarnation of Earth, Wind & Fire worked with director Mario Van Peebles' seminal indie film Sweet Sweetback's Baadassss Song.
Maurice White starred as the band's leader, head producer, principal tunesmith and lead vocalist along with Philip Bailey. Earth, Wind & Fire won a half-dozen Grammy Awards, an NAACP Hall of Fame Award, and four American Music Awards with 90 million-plus album sales worldwide.
As a member, White was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the NAACP Image Awards Hall of Fame. He won seven Grammys.
White, with Charles Stepney, co-produced Deniece Williams' This is Niecy for White and Stepney's Kalimba Productions. After Stepney passed, White produced her follow-up Song Bird. Williams released four more albums for the company — That's What Friends Are For, When Love Comes Calling, My Melody and Niecy.
White helped resurrect the career of former Stax stars the Emotions, producing the platinum selling Rejoice, which spawned the multi-award winning single "Best of My Love." Earth, Wind & Fire collaborated with the Emotions on the million-selling single "Boogie Wonderland." His solo album, Maurice White, yielded a successful cover of Ben E. King's "Stand By Me."
White contributed music to Coming to America starring Eddie Murphy, Undercover Brother starring Eddie Griffin, and the Broadway musical Hot Feet starring Maurice Hines. At times idiosyncratic, White was always effective.
His trademark of accenting a phrase with "Yeow" came from, of all unlikely places, a pastor where he went to church in Memphis as a youngster. Ironically, though he recorded with the industry's most complex sound boards, he judged the final product by how clearly the sound came through on the tinny speakers of cheap radios.
White was diagnosed with Parkinson's in the late 1980s, which led him eventually to stop touring with Earth, Wind & Fire in 1994. However, White retained executive control of the band and remained active in the music business.
A married father of two, Maurice White died at home in his sleep in Los Angeles at age 74, survived by his wife, two sons, and his brothers Fred White and Verdine White.

Jade Bird Is a 5'3" Bundle of Attitude in Her New "Uh Huh" Music Video
The British singer-songwriter walks us through her new visuals and what to expect from her new music.
By Erica Gonzales
Aug 23 2018, 9:00 am EDT
British singer-songwriter Jade Bird rocks out with projections of herself in the new video for her song, "Uh Huh." The gritty, electric track shows a rougher, louder side to the guitar-wielding 20-year-old musician, and the accompanying visuals are just as vibrant as her sound.
Surprisingly, however, the inspiration behind the Kate Moross-directed video was not so much about color. "It's more how to achieve a presence," Bird explains to BAZAAR.com. "To put me in a three-sided box with a hundred Jades felt like the right thing to do, I guess."
"Uh Huh," which released earlier this month, is the latest of Bird's three recent singles (including "Lottery," a sweet pop tune, and "Furious," a mellow ballad), and it's her boldest song yet. "I'm little, I'm 5'3, but I always sound very fussy. And I really wanted to show this more fiery side," she explains.
The "alternative banger," as she calls it, is reminiscent of sounds from Alanis Morissette to Elle King; a departure from the folksy Americana of her breakout 2017 EP Something American, which earned praise from critics and put her on the map of music's up-and-coming landscape. (Listen to the track "Cathedral" and you'll understand the hype.)
Despite her EP's title, Bird was raised in Hexham, U.K. She was raised mostly by her mother and grandmother before she moved down to London with her mom to pursue music. But her musical roots go back even further: she was gigging at pubs at 13 and 14 years old, she started writing songs and playing guitar at 12, and she learned piano at eight.
"I couldn't imagine myself doing anything else," she tells BAZAAR.com. "There's a sense that you feel like you're born to do something, and that's why you work so hard to make it happen."
Ahead, you can catch Bird on her U.S. tour, which runs through September. (She's already sold out shows in LA and Austin.) She's also working on a full-length debut album, which was hinted by her newest singles. "It's the next phase of who I am," she says.
Here, Bird tells BAZAAR.com more about her writing process and being influenced by female musicians.
Jade wrote "Uh Huh" and "Lottery" on the same day last year. She recorded them in upstate New York with producers Simone Felice and David Baron.
I remember I wrote "Lottery" first, and I always describe it more about the air. Then "Uh Huh" came after because I wanted to write a more punchy, more gritty one. And that day was really the start of a new sound. It was quite symbolic in a way, I felt like was the step towards my album as I want it to sound. It's representing all my influences, like Alanis Morissette, which I always cite as being a huge one, but I'm also super into this kind of new psychedelia, like Cherry Glazerr, Kurt Vile, Tame Impala. I really love that kind of rock-y, guitar-y edge to it.
She says her upcoming album (which includes a couple of piano-led songs), show three different shades of the spectrum of her life.
I've really been trying to explore those three facets of myself. You've got the classic ballads, the pop elements, and the alternative elements. I'm trying to pursue my own sound. That's the one thing "Uh Huh" might just be, a little bit different than anything else right now.
There's a noticeable evolution between Jade's EP and her newest tracks. The sound is fuller and more mature.
I feel like it's the one thing that keeps me up all night, how to evolve. I always feel like the one indicator of the classics is how they evolve. You can always reference Bowie for that. He's someone that just constantly, every album, changed who he is, changed the music. It's such a brave decision. That's my main goal. I never want people to be like, "Oh, that's another Something American, or that's another 'Cathedral.'" I want it to be new for them.
She's deeply influenced by women musicians.
I think the importance comes from the importance of having strong females in my life, full stop. I was pretty much brought up by mom and grandma, who were both single parents. My mum was always listening to the diva of the time, you know, Avril Lavigne, Pink, etcetera. I think she just inspired this mentality that I am good enough... just quite a strong feminist sentiment.
I'm attracted to strong women doing their craft, be it in that amazing person, Kate Moross, who I work with, or Alanis Morissette, or Phoebe Bridgers. I'm attracted to that non-apologetic kind of "I'm going to do my thing because I just think it's a very unique thing." I want to inspire girls who don't want to hide behind their guitars and write sad songs. You've kind of got to be out there, a bit more confident, a little bit. I'd love to inspire young girls to feel like that.
Well yesterday adds to this incredible week. Thankyou North Carolina, @firstaidkitband & @raleighmetro - it was very special 💗💞💖
A post shared by Jade Bird (@jadebirdmusic) on Jun 9, 2018 at 7:42am PDT
She wrote the "Something American" title track when the country was in a different place.
It's so funny that I wrote the track before a lot of the stuff in America kind of kicked off. America is a very different country now from when I wrote that song. It just shows how songs can either last or not, how the times change. But, I wrote that about always wanting more, and always choosing the "grass is always greener" kind of thing. I felt the whole EP was based on that betrayal and love in general. It also felt appropriate, and there was a lot of Americana influence in that phase of my songwriting. I've moved on from that now. It just felt like the perfect title to kind of call that phase.
She wants to elicit emotions from her listeners.
In the moment when music could be assumed to be more disposable because there's so much of it, I think if anybody feels anything really real in relation to your music or is moved by it, or it associates with a time in their life, it's a win for you. It's a success. It means you're doing it for a reason.

NARC, Arcade conversion by The Sales Curve and published by Ocean Software in 1990
"The arcade action thriller with the BIG finish. Infiltrate the criminal underworld - your mission is to seek out and destroy the king pin of the MR BIG CORPORATION - if you get that far. You'll have to outwit his enormous army of body guards gangs of charisma, bypass patients in trench coats, the bullet brain with the build of a rhinoceros and the breath of a dung beetle, packs of vicious canine yappies, the psychotic clown with an evil sense of humor - you'll die, but not laughing! Then there is the gas guzzling Cadillac jock - a cool specimen, elbow hanging on the door rail, a serious looking piece in his hand and ready to blow you away as he rolls down main street leaving you coughing lead. It's not all bad!... You've got a chopper to back you up, a mean, shiny street machine, some heavy metal hardware and some pretty neat moves. And what about the king pin... did I say he was Mr. Big? No, he's MR BIG!"
Well that was some light reading on the back of the box, sure to get you pumped for the game and take to the counter for purchase without a second thought. The conversion is based on the original arcade game by Williams. A side scrolling shooter. Just shoot everyone to you reach the end of the game!
There is a bit more to it than that. The real story is that OCP has bought up the right to the running man and Smash TV. In this new gameshow you put on your Armored suit and are sent out to clean up the street of New Detroit. Just like with smash tv, you will be constantly picking up money, drugs and ammo dropped by the bad guys that are trying to stop your. At the end of each level you receive a huge cash reward and sent on your way to a rougher area. Should you be so good that you complete the mission, you will get to enter the pleasure dome (erm..vault) and collect the spoils in the form of gold bars. There is never a shortage of bad guys to deal with so tune in next week for more!
The Spectrum conversion is quite good overall. The gfx are all well detailed and the mono colour isn't too big of an issue. There is only one piece of music and it stays on the title screen. The presentation is higher then usual for the machine with some nice pre mission interlude screens. The game scrolls much slower than the C64 version but the screen still gets just as hectic with enemies filling the screen if given the chance. Like Smash T.V the enemies are all dropping loot for you to pick up. Ammo, rockets, drugs and money which all help towards your overall score unlocking extra lives. You can also choose to bust enemies for extra score instead of shooting em for loot.
The Spectrum game is probably more faithful to the original arcade than the C64 version. You'll see the dogs turn up more than once but they are easier to deal with as the crouch mechanic seems to work better. In this version you need to hold Space while pressing up for jump or down to crouch and doesn't cost you an accidental rocket fire. Notably, you seem to have more rocket drops in this version. I would say this version is more difficult though. The extra lives system does not seem as generous here so you don't want to hang around to much farming items. I'm sure the game can be completed a little quicker than here if just rushing through.
Overall, I think the Spectrum got a good conversion. the +3 disk version is being played here and it makes a notable difference compared against the tape multiload.

Everybody loves a good story; and, everybody has a story to tell. Some folks just need the right opportunity and perhaps a little encouragement to share it.
That is the mission of the Personal Essay Publishing Project, a chance for both new and experienced writers to craft a story from their own lives and then to see their creative efforts around a common theme shared in print in a collective anthology.
The current project through mid-February 2018 takes its theme from the life of America's pioneer hero, Daniel Boone, during an episode of his adventures 250 years ago in the winter of 1767/68.
After the fall harvest in 1767, Daniel Boone left his Wilkes County home on Beaver Creek in North Carolina for a winter hunt. Boone and his companions passed through the Appalachian Mountains along the Russell Fork of the Big Sandy River. That water gap is today in Breaks Interstate Park, straddling the border between Virginia and Kentucky near Elkhorn City, Kentucky. The hunters were caught in the wilderness by an early and heavy snow storm; they had to winter over.
The men's supplies ran low, especially shot and powder for their rifles. Rather than exhaust themselves and squander their ammunition by chasing scarce game through the deep snow, they camped at a salt spring near today's David, Kentucky. They conserved their resources by waiting to shoot the wild game which came their way seeking the salt lick. Boone and his fellow hunters survived the winter through their woodsman skills, making do. Enduring the monotony of being snowbound, they kept their spirits high, and their resolve to overcome their adverse circumstances never waned. After surviving a long, harsh winter, the men returned home in the spring, having had quite an adventure and delighting their families with their long-awaited return.
In the spirit of finding oneself in a challenging circumstance and persevering by making do, you are invited to write a personal essay about some experience of your own life in which you made do, kept your spirits high, or your resolve strong. Or perhaps your experience did not end so positively. In any case, you are invited to share your story in 750 words in a personal essay. Only North Carolina and Kentucky authors will be included in the final collection as it pays tribute to the resourcefulness and the character of Daniel Boone and his colleagues on the 250th anniversary of their experience hunting in the wilderness.
You may write about your own experience or share the story of a family member or someone you know personally. These are short, personal essays of real-life experiences. No fiction will be considered.
Make your own history; share your good story with everybody!

Dear #MarkedbyOdin is a real pride and honor for me to be able to write to you just when six years have passed since we launched the Mark of Odin project. Six years ago I published Mark of Odin: The awakening and shared with everyone the famous launch trailer #DesastreSevilla with which we seek to draw the attention of media and readers.
It seems that it was yesterday when I was at home checking with nerves and emotion every one of the first orders that came through the old web store. The first excited signatures in the paperback editions, prepare the first packages and take them to the Post Office. It was the consummation of a dream and a six-year job. Yes, you read well, it's been twelve years since I started to create this saga and transmedia literary project.
This sixth anniversary is more special if possible, since it is the first in which I can celebrate that The Road to Valhalla is already published and we also have the English edition of The Awakening. Not only that, we have a new website that, although it is still a work in progress, has been a qualitative leap with respect to the one we had before. This is the best gift I can have without a doubt, since those who are with me from the beginning know the time and what it has cost to take another step in the saga.
Since my last letter we have continued working to increase sales and give greater visibility to the English version. I must confess that this is a most difficult task, sometimes it seems impossible, since we are David competing against a hundred thousand Goliaths, but we have the Great Father Odin and the Valkyries on our side. In this matter, I want to share with you the incorporation to the team of Belén Castro, former student of the Master of Online Marketing and Social Media Strategies of the University of Seville. She is also a big fan of the saga and since the last month she is actively collaborating to make it better known.
Not only that, last week José Pinto, contestant of the Antena 3TV show ¡Boom!, had the detail to participate wearing the shirt of the #MarkedbyOdin giving us a lot of visibility. I want to thank him again for his selfless help! You can see several here several fragments of the program and also a part that we share live.
On the other hand, having not yet had an ideal volume of sales, after a little more than a year of "standby" I have returned to my position as head of international marketing and communication in the Norwegian games and Apps development studio Megapop Games. In the fall we plan to launch two new titles globally: Trolls vs Vikings 2 and MegaNumbers so my services are required. On the one hand, this will steal me hours to devote to the saga but on the other it will give me more stability to be able to strength the following steps.
And what are the next steps? Obviously, we will continue to focus on increasing the visibility of the saga and try to increase sales. If they do, I will not only be able to dedicate more time or work exclusively on this, but I will also be able to incorporate more collaborators to the team in order to delegate more. After all, the ideal is that I can focus only on writing, that's what I know you all want.
Calm down! I promised you bonus chapters and extended content. I would have liked to have published in June the first bonus chapter of 'The Road to Valhalla', with the title of 'The Battle of Jotunheim'. In the end it could not be, due to several factors that have prevented me from being able to focus and give you the version I want to do. Now that things are stabilizing, despite having fewer hours, I will plan better to be able to dedicate myself not only to finish the bonus chapters but to prepare what will be the first extended contents of Volume 2 of the Odinpedia.
In the previous letter I commented to you the idea of preparing a series of contents of the chronicles type with notes of Alvit about the Borean civilization. Well, apart from that, I confirm that my plan is to share some of the pending contents of the Volume 1 focused on Professor Hågensen, Santiago, Marta, Juan Aguilera and the Diablos de Hispania. With them you can know parts of the story that are only seen briefly in the second book. In addition, I have planned a whole series of contents of Volume 2 focused on both known and new characters from the second book and, of course, new news from Noticias Directo WebTV.
Keep in mind that for all these things I depend on our Art Director, Manu Nieto, who is ultra-busy now with the production of the second season of a well-known TV series... But we'll try to take time out of wherever so at least we can have new character illustrations. We would love to get into 3d renders and other more elaborate productions of vehicles, locations and other things that you can already imagine from the second book, but for the moment you will have to wait, since it is not realistic to promise these contents in the short term.
And once I have all this settled my idea is to start with the production of the final draft of the third book: Ragnarok. Calm and tranquility! Calm and tranquility! At the moment I cannot promise dates or I can get to it with the same pace with which I did last year with The Road to Valhalla, it will be a much quieter one. At least while sales do not increase in pace. If they do it, everything can be accelerated as I have already commented. The idea and illusion is that you do not have to wait five years, but much less for the next book.
Remember, your support is what allows this saga and dream to continue growing. Thank you very much! I will not tire of giving them to you. Your messages, opinions, recommendations to friends to join, are essential. Without them this climb to the top of the mountain of success would be impossible.
For our International friends I want to update you that we have failed to get grants to translate Road to Valhalla to English. I will try to keep searching new grants or a way to accelerate the translation. In any case, the main way to do it is to raise awareness and sells of Mark of Odin: The Awakening.
I leave saying goodbye wishing you enjoy the summer, the pool, the beach, the mountain, the getaways and trips to new places, your friends and family. If you take your books from Mark of Odin, I encourage you to continue sharing photos with us. We adore them! And those who have not yet taken the step to awake to your real fate. I remind you that you are still on time. It's never too late and we miss you so much! You already know that you can order Mark of Odin: The Awakening at Amazon.

UNRWA Marks 70 Years of Service for Palestine Refugees – Press Release
Home/UNRWA Marks 70 Years of Service for Palestine Refugees – Press Release
Arabic: العربية
UNRWA Marks 70 Years of Service for Palestine Refugees
On 8 December 2019, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) marked 70 years in service for Palestine refugees. Following the Arab-Israeli conflict of 1948, UNRWA was established by the United Nations General Assembly to carry out direct relief and works programmes for Palestine refugees. Today, some 5.5 million Palestine refugees in the Agency's five fields of operations – Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem – are eligible for the Agency's services.
Over the past seven decades, Palestine refugees have experienced extremes in violence, suffering and injustice. As a result, they are presently confronted with daunting human development and protection challenges, which stand to arrest their significant potential. Humanitarian conditions across much of the UNRWA areas of operation are grave, exacerbated by protracted conflict and the lack of political progress.
While the 70th Anniversary of UNRWA provides an occasion for sober reflection on Palestinian exile, it also affords a moment to consider the contribution that the Agency's programmes have made to the lives of generations of Palestine refugees. Through primary education and health care, social safety-net interventions, the building and maintenance of homes and infrastructure, microfinance and protection services, and humanitarian assistance in times of emergency, UNRWA continues to be a positive force in the lives of Palestinians.
On this solemn occasion, UNRWA is proud to share a photographic review of the displacement, dispossession and hope of Palestine refugees, drawn from the magnificent and extensive historic UNRWA Film and Photo Archive (inscribed by UNESCO in the Memory of the World Register in 2009) and showcasing UNRWA service delivery and the daily lives and historic moments of Palestine refugees throughout the decades. It includes iconic images of their catastrophic displacement in 1948, the establishment of camps in the 1950s, the second flight during the 1967 war, the war in Lebanon, and the unrest from the second half of the 1980s to the early twenty-first century. View our virtual photo-book "UNRWA@70" here.
But the unfolding narrative also shows the extraordinary accomplishments by UNRWA and by Palestinians for Palestinians; past milestones of achievement and success, towards a horizon of validation and hope, however distant that may seem today.
UNRWA is confronted with an increased demand for services resulting from a growth in the number of registered Palestine refugees, the extent of their vulnerability and their deepening poverty. UNRWA is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions and financial support has been outpaced by the growth in needs. As a result, the UNRWA programme budget, which supports the delivery of core essential services, operates with a large shortfall. UNRWA encourages all Member States to work collectively to exert all possible efforts to fully fund the Agency's programme budget. UNRWA emergency programmes and key projects, also operating with large shortfalls, are funded through separate funding portals.
UNRWA is a United Nations agency established by the General Assembly in 1949 and mandated to provide assistance and protection to some 5.4 million Palestine refugees registered with UNRWA across its five fields of operation. Its mission is to help Palestine refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, West Bank, including East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip achieve their full human development potential, pending a just and lasting solution to their plight. UNRWA services encompass education, health care, relief and social services, camp infrastructure and improvement, protection and microfinance.

Q: how to avoid a tkinter entry widget to lose focus when a notebook tab is selected from a callback I have an entry widget that has a callback binded to <Key>
whenever the user types something in the entry widget then the callback
mapped to <Key> is called. the callback gets the text that was inserted in the entry widget then attempts to find a Notebook tab whose title matches the text. if it matches then it calls the Notebook.select method. when the Notebook.select method is called the tab is selected and one of its child widget gets focused. this behavior isnt desired i need the entry widget to hold the focus. it basically is losing the focus when the callback calls Notebook.select. i have used grab_set() in the entry widget but it doesnt avoid it losing focus when the method notebook select is called.

A: This behavior may be platform dependent. When I select a tab on my machine the focus stays with the entry widget. However, if your platform changes the focus you can easily set the focus back from within your callback.
Here's a working example. Run the code, and when you type in the name of a tab (eg: "two"), the tab will be selected but the focus should remain in the entry widget:
entry .e
ttk::notebook .nb

pack .e -side top -fill x
pack .nb -side top -fill both -expand 1

foreach text {"One" "Two" "Three" "Four"} {
    set frame_name ".nb.page_$text"
    frame $frame_name
    .nb add $frame_name -text $text
    label $frame_name.label -text "This is page $text"
    pack $frame_name.label -padx 20 -pady 20
}

bind .e <KeyRelease> callback

proc callback {} {
    set input [string tolower [.e get]]
    foreach child [winfo children .nb] {
        set text [string tolower [.nb tab $child -text]]
        if {$text eq $input} {
            .nb select $child
            focus .e
        }
    }
}

Lynne, Lopez, Stapleton Say To Hell With Transparency
by: Colorado Pols May 21, 2018 at 4:01 PM MDT
Walker Stapleton.
A story from the Colorado Independent's Corey Hutchins today documents a considerable break with the longstanding practice of Colorado gubernatorial candidates releasing their tax returns for public scrutiny:
"I don't think it's appropriate. I don't think it's relevant," said Democratic Lt. Gov. Donna Lynne, when asked if she would release the past three years of her tax filings for public view. "I don't know what relevance it is in a gubernatorial election," she said.
Before becoming the state's second-in-command, Lynne, a first-time candidate, was an executive vice president of the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan. She has put $100,000 of her own money into her campaign so far, and was the only candidate who flat-out said she wouldn't release her taxes when asked by The Colorado Independent.
GOP gubernatorial candidate Greg Lopez apparently agrees:
Republican Greg Lopez, the former mayor of Parker, said he would have to think about whether to allow a reporter to inspect his tax returns, but also expressed skepticism. "For what purpose?" he asked. "I can understand at the presidential level, but we're talking about the state level here. So I don't really know that that really impacts the decisions of voters."
And finally, GOP fruntrunner Walker Stapleton gets so dodgy about it it's almost comical:
"I'm happy to release my tax returns but not from what's in the blind trust because that violates the spirit of setting up the trust to begin with," Stapleton said in an interview. A Stapleton spokesman jumped in to add that the campaign isn't prepared to say what it would and wouldn't release. Stapleton, who has trained most of his fire on Polis throughout his campaign, said he is not interested in seeing what's in his rival's returns. Responding to the idea that releasing tax returns before an election could illuminate something important, Stapleton said, "I think that's stupid and dumb and the only people that care about that are political enemies trying to savage somebody for something."
Beyond his state income from the treasurer's office, Stapleton said he has "a lot" of passive business investments that are managed by others. "Do I have alternate sources of income? You bet I do," he said. [Pols emphasis]
The rest of the major gubernatorial candidates in both parties were generally in support of releasing their tax returns. Jared Polis, the wealthiest candidate in the race by far, says he'll be happy to do so as long as the other candidates in the Democratic primary do as well. That's because for many years, the release of tax returns by gubernatorial candidates has been a routine practice. In 2014, both Gov. John Hickenlooper and his opponent Bob Beauprez released theirs. The last time we can remember a gubernatorial candidate refusing to release their tax returns was back in 2010, when ill-fated GOP candidate Scott McInnis earned the wrath of the Denver Post:
Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis has refused to release his tax returns, a position that breaks from routine campaign practices in Colorado and nationally…
Media outlets routinely request tax returns from candidates because they reveal more than mere income: They show sources of income and potential conflicts of interest, charitable giving, the use of tax shelters, how candidates manage their own money and how their tax rates compare with the average taxpayer's.
Open-government advocates say it's especially important that wealthy candidates, who usually have a multitude of investments, be forthcoming with their taxes. [Pols emphasis]
Make no mistake, the refusal of these candidates to participate in a longstanding and uncontroversial disclosure is a very serious breach of trust and longstanding tradition. In the case of Donna Lynne, this nonchalant dismissal of the need to disclose basic financial information should be disqualifying–though with her campaign stuck in single digits anyway, it's doubtful that will ever be put to the test.
Walker Stapleton, on the other hand, is the Republican frontrunner. It's been no secret since Stapleton's election that his financial footprint is extensive and poorly documented. Being shady about one's finances might slip under the radar in lower elected offices, but a candidate for the state's highest office has an obligation to demonstrate that he has no disqualifying conflicts of interest.
Instead, Walker Stapleton brags about his undisclosed "alternate sources of income."
That is not cool. We can only hope there is some outrage to spare for it.
May 21, 2018 at 4:14 PM MDT
For people who think the Repugs only care about the wealthy and the 1%, Stapleton is the embodiment of that. He fits that caricature to a T.
Davie says:
Given his job performance as Treasurer, I'm pretty sure he counts his state salary as passive income too.
Dubya and his campaign …. really, I'd expect a Bush relative and a long-time front-runner and someone spending so much on his campaign would have worked out a response that both he AND his campaign would use. It isn't a surprise that someone is going to ask about releasing tax returns.
I would like to know if he has been earning a public salary AND continuing to "consult" or getting fees from his former consulting work. If a trust is REALLY blind, I don't need a public release of its contents, but I would like to know what could be a conflict of interests.
Stapleton continues to demonstrate an approach to politics based on the "I'm entitled" principle. It should be interesting to see if Colorado voters in the Republican primary endorse such a position.
Well, of course he has. It's not even a big secret. He still pulls in $150K as CEO of Sonomawest Holdings, and has to put in >10 hours a week on it.
The Independent reported on the deal in 2011. He certainly moonlighted for Sonomawest when he was elected Treasurer in 2010, and into his term in 2011.
Is he still getting that income? We don't know. Because he doesn't want us to know. Hence no tax returns.
He still listed his employer as Sonomawest in 2014 when he contributed $2600 to Scott Tipton's and Cory Gardner's campaigns. And he was running for his 2nd term as Treasurer then.
Stapleton Acquisitions, which is probably the "blind trust" he's referring to, isn't actually blind, but bought all shares of Sonomawest in 2011, giving Walker and all his Bushie cousins a heckuva payday. Currently, Sonomawest is a subsidiary of Stapleton Acquisitions.
So yes, it's possible that Colorado's Treasurer is getting paid by a California-based investment firm which only recently opened an office in Colorado. He was still shown as its President in 2017. Or he's getting paid by Stapleton Acquisitions, which is managed by his Bush cousins.
Then there's Stapleton Realty Partners, LLC, which dissolved in 2014.
It would take someone more savvy than I am about financial hokey-pokey to follow the money for Walker Stapleton. He's a greasy mofo.
Video from Stapler's tax return release…
Diogenesdemar says:
Hey Walker Roberts, we jus wanna' know who was payin' you for all that time you weren't showin' up to work as Treasurer? Geezuz guy, what's so hard to understand about that?
As for Lynne, no one really cares whether she showed up. Did she even have a job?
And Greg, you jus keep thinkin' . . . a thinkin' Republican, huh? No one — no one — Republican or Democrat, is gonna' ever buy that . . .

Icons of Modernism Excursion
Icons of Modernism – A Curated Excursion in Palm Springs, California
As a prelude to the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) Conference on Landscape Architecture 2019 in San Diego, California (November 15-19), The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) will host a daylong excursion on Thursday, November 14, in Palm Springs, California. TCLF's annual, curated excursions to exceptional examples of landscape architecture and design are eagerly anticipated, extremely popular, and always sell out months in advance.
The Icons of Modernism excursion, which will begin and end in Palm Springs, will feature an in-depth tour of Sunnylands, the storied 200-acre estate of Ambassador and Mrs. Walter Annenberg, with an A. Quincy Jones-designed home and a new Visitor Center landscape by the Office of James Burnett. Sunnylands, which has received kings, queens, presidents and other notable visitors, is now a center for international diplomacy and has undergone rehabilitation by CMG Landscape, which skillfully addresses sustainability and preservation. Sunnylands staff will offer insights into the site's transformation from a private to a public facility.
