New York City's daily interactive soap opera has hooked readers for over six years.
This daily updated soap opera fiction follows characters from around the world as they live, work and love in New York City. It's never boring, always hot, and totally unpredictable.
Welcome to a sizzling NYC scene.
BE CAST AS AN INTERACTIVE SOAP OPERA STAR!
Tiffany wants to move in next door with her ex-Skeeter. She needs to get away from her roommate Deanna and her Mafia boyfriend Vinny. Skeeter is a lady's man and he's stalling. Will he give in?
"Over here Tiffany", her sister Starlene called out as she sat in a booth at the Washington Square Diner.
"Hi Starlene, have you been waiting long?" Tiffany asked as she took off her jacket and slid into the booth across from her sister.
"A few minutes. I ordered you a big salad."
"Thanks. That's great. How's it going?" Tiffany asked as she unfolded her paper napkin and placed it on her lap.
"Okay. I still don't really know why Stanley put that property into Jan's name. That bothers me a lot," she said referring to her wealthy older husband and his daughter.
"I think you're going to have to ask Stanley to let you read his will."
"Then he might think I married him just for his money."
"Well make sure he knows you really love him first. Maybe be extra loving," Tiffany suggested.
"Yeah, I remember how much he likes fancy lingerie," Starlene said as if searching her memory bank.
"You don't wear lingerie anymore?"
"Of course not. We're married now."
"Yeah, I'll take out the lingerie. You're right. Well, tell me. What's going on with you and Skeeter. Did you ask him if you can move in with him?"
"Yes, I asked him," Tiffany said as if pained by the thought.
"He thought me spending the night over at his apartment once a month would be fine," she said bitterly.
"Yeah, can you believe that? After what he's done to me?"
"That's just incredible," Starlene said shaking her head in amazement.
"Yeah, he lets his Mafia roommate take over my apartment to be with the stripper he rented my spare bedroom to while I was in Georgia to visit Mama!"
"I'm truly disappointed in him. I should have known. After all these years with Skeeter, marriage and divorce; you would think I would know him better than that," Tiffany said.
"What did you say?" Starlene asked as the waitress placed large salads in front of the sisters.
"Oh wow! What did he say?"
"Nothing. I left as soon as I said it. I've never talked to Skeeter like that before. I was afraid he'd get really mad, so I left fast," she said grinning.
"What do you think he'll do?"
"What will you do if he doesn't agree?"
"Well, I don't know. I don't have another boyfriend."
"But you said…" Starlene said tilting her head to one side.
"Yeah, I know. I guess I'll have to find somebody else just to show him."
"In the meantime you'll still be living with Double D Deanna and Vinny."
"That's the part I can't figure out. I have to get a job and move, or a new lover to stay with."
"There's still hope. Skeeter is going to give me his answer tonight," she said.
"Oh, then call me first thing in the morning and let me know," Starlene said as a woman with bright orange hair took a seat in the booth in front of them.
Will Skeeter say yes? Will Tiffany find another lover or another job?

Tar Sands Action – Time To Take A Stand
Dozens of local residents are joining a wave of Vermonters heading down to DC later this month for a nationally supported demonstration aimed at stopping approval of the Tar Sands Pipeline. David Stember, a 350-Vermont organizer, was asked by Burlington Free Press Reporter Joel Baird to comment on why he's participating in this direct action and even willing to get arrested in the process?
David: First of all, I've never done anything like this, or ever been arrested before for that matter. But in the face of both growing aggression by big business and big government, and the gathering storm of global climate change, the time has come for sensible people to step in and do whatever it takes to stop the runaway freight train of fossil fuel extraction.
Clearly, we've been addicted to easy energy and big profits from fossil fuels for so long now that those who've been benefiting from it's production, whether in business or government, are going to go to any lengths to keep this income stream flowing strong, even if it means wringing the last drops out of the land while recklessly destroying the ability of our planet to sustain life as we know it.
Little or nothing of consequence is happening today in our federal government that points to any degree of awareness or conscience about these risks. Furthermore, all the excitement and progress around renewable energy, though a wonderful model if the future is shaped by responsible people, adds up to zero value for preventing further climate change impacts, if we can not stop operations like the Tar Sands, Big Coal, and other similar megascale GHG emitters. Bailing a boat out with a bucket is useless when ignorant profiteers and their political minions are still setting tidal waves of pollution into motion. First things first: we must stop fossil fuel extraction.
So, what are the choices, really? Facing insurmountable financial and political odds, the only way we the people can deal with this situation in the short term is by putting our bodies in front of this train to attempt to halt this crisis. Trite but true: If not now, when? If not us, who?
If getting arrested, or taking any similar action can bring President Obama to a remembrance of his promise to stop this level of insanity, how can any of us shirk our responsibility to show up and be counted, whatever the personal cost. Increasingly, I can't and won't avoid this fight, and am just so relieved and grateful that other sensible people from all over the county, including many wonderful friends and neighbors from the amazing state of Vermont, feel the same way I do, and are willing to join in solidarity for this life saving cause.
David Stember is the Associate Publisher of Green Energy Times and a 350-Vermont staff organizer.

Jody Watley. Legends of Soul Tour Journal 8. Reflections.
I needed a couple of weeks to decompress, relax, unwind and reflect on my experience being a part of the David Gest Presents Legends of Soul Tour. My hat is off to him for being passionate about soul music and it's veteran artists by doing a tour like this. It boggles the mind that there are not more of these types of tours with a variety of artists with their great hits.
If you followed my posts you'll know it started off a bit rocky for me. When I look back over the time I was away, in my head I equate it to being a child having gone to a sleep away camp and surviving it. I experienced missing my loved ones, friends and daily routines. Even in the best hotels – there's no place like home. Thanks to Paul Williams Jr. we were all turned on to the MagicJack phone app – free international calls, though the time difference was always a challenge. Being honest there was shedding some tears of loneliness of being on the road, feeling outcast initially because of my quiet demeanor which didn't sit well with some, not having my friends, band and crew, etc. You should know I was raised in a fairly quiet household and I've never been accustomed to being around overly amped up people who need to be in someone's face all the time. Chill. I'm as comfortable being real and in my own skin, as anyone else is in being who they are. We all bring our different experiences and upbringing to every situation. It's about being flexible and respectful – as I said in a previous post, there's a time and a place for everything. In my work environment, I have tended to hire people with a certain demeanor for my band and crew. Anyway, this caused feelings of being more vulnerable than usual and totally being out of a comfort zone. The feeling of wanting to go home was strong the first few days. Of course I found the strength I needed and tapped into 'patience.' It was awesome to bond with a few people after all. Bryan and Louise approached me one evening backstage and asked me what was wrong in a way that was genuine and caring and not confrontational as I mentioned in a previous post. They were like the little kids on the playground yard that come over to help when something's gone awry. Compassion and empathy. That was a turning point for me. I'm so grateful to them for being so cool. Ultimately, despite the stress, I had a great time, triumphant in it all, definitely having grown up a bit more – even as a fully grown adult. Imagine that?! We all continue to grow with the inner child that remains alive, facing obstacles, insecurities and dealing with insecurities of others which causes them to act in certain obnoxious ways. Working to overcome obstacles in life no matter what – as much as we don't like the challenges at times. It feels good when you do and get past something.
I teared up a lot as we drove hundred of miles to and from the venues, often gorgeous historic theaters as I looked out of the windows – forced to think about life and tune out noise at times. I often listened to everything from Stan Getz to Radiohead in my earbuds, as well as my own "Nightlife" remixes. I did a lot of reflecting on being a Mom, the homebody – raising my children my children into young adults; missing them and thinking a bit more about mortality cycles of life. I reflected on my career, what I've achieved, what I still want to achieve beyond making records. Generally, I never think about my age unless it's brought up to me – but I did a lot of thinking about it on this on this trip. I feel ageless most times – well, until I have to reach for my reading glasses! 55, though totally young at heart and in my spirit – half a life lived already and looking ahead to the things I hope to achieve still with all of my past and current accomplishments which include raising to wonderful people of which I'm most proud. Perspective. Looking at the artists doing it in their 70's..I couldn't help but wonder if I wanted to be on the road when I hit 70 if I'm so blessed. Anyway, back to my daughter and son -they've traveled with me to places around the world and that fact made me smile – and cry! Maybe the tears were also my fluctuating hormones, which is said with a smile in another nudge of age. I've never cried so much in small spurts!! When I'd see a Mom with her son or daughter walking and holding hands, or sharing a bite to eat – tears. I thought about the blessings of my career and to be on tour with artists in their 70's or close to it who survived touring and sharing the gift of music in a time of segregation always knowing the safe houses to rest in their travels, as hotels weren't option and the fear of lynching always loomed. I visited the International Slavery Museum – twice.
We are blessed even when things don't go smoothly – it's the pushing forward. That's living. Life.
The view from my hotel suite in Liverpool, I took in many sunrises (insomnia) and a few sunsets on off days. Thankful to be in the moment.
Til' the Break of Dawn…just after sunrise from my suite Liverpool.
In my suite early on at one of the Butlins Resorts..creative use of towels.
With legendary Candi Staton – I loved watching her perform, she shared great stories one night listening to her and Little Anthony on a long drive back from one of the shows was priceless. Candi at the end of the tour said folks were saying I was 'the elusive one' – lol.
San Carlos Interior – GREAT restaurant! Lovely ambience and 5 star food.
Vocalist and best dressed of the tour – Bryan Chambers and keyboardist Alle Pearse.
Bryan Chambers ready for his mussels.
The mussels were a hit!
A quote I came across while I was away that really resonated and made me feel strong!
A universal message – came at a good time early on while I was having coffee in Liverpool and feeling blue – it seemed like a sign for me to snap out of it, and I did!
With the handsome and kind hearted Anders Knudsen who I grew to adore as well. Check out his album "Perils" at iTunes if you enjoy rock influenced by the 60's. I love it!
Gushing with another cutie – Matt Kern in Hull. Photo: courtesy of Matt Kern. Look out for his band Vyktoria to release music soon. Modern Depeche Mode vibes!
The lads chillin' post concert in our private area – fabulous buffet.
Our VIP post show hang and "Fabulous Buffet" at the hotel -Legends of Soul Tour.
We were the stragglers, it was really late. Someone said something inappropriate but awkwardly funny..at 'the fabulous buffet' Alle was standing on the bar to capture..this was one of the last nights in Liverpool after 3 weeks.
Alle taking the pic..photo courtesy of Louise Marshall.
I'd never seen so much 'Curling' coverage – it's apparently huge in the UK, and seemed to be on each time I tuned in to catch the Winter Olympics.
Arriving to Hull – UK – dressing room dilemmas imminent – lol . A gorgeous theater. Grand staircases always remind me of my 'Still A Thrill' video in Paris, France.
Day 2 or 3 in Butlins Bognor Regnoir- the first resort city we played as we worked out the kinks of the show….where my 'elusive' reputation was born on the tour.
I'm a big sports fan – so I was happy we got to watch the big game – Butlins Skegness.
I lost the Superbowl bet to Paul Willams Jr. We bet one dollar for fun.
Family time. Louise Marshall with a visit from her beautiful daughter backstage in her hometown of York. Meeting Alicia of course made me weepy for my kids when they were little and would often accompany me for shows. Working Moms – balancing family and career.
More fab light fixtures in York at the theatre…obsessed!
Bryan Chambers was so fashionable. He did so much shopping at one point his new additions required their own seat on the van!
Sometimes the situation called for improvisation due to the lack of dressing rooms to accommodate us all! In life sometimes you have to just roll with it and make things work!
The sign kept calling my name.."International Slavery Museum" – I wasn't going to go at first because I didn't want to be depressed – so glad I went as did Bryan who came with me the first time. It was empowering in a surprising and odd way. Made me think of my own resilience in life.
Bryan and I were trying to find the slavery museum amongst many..good thing I had on comfy boots!
African Origins. International Slavery Museum Liverpool.
I also learned that the famous street Penny Lane made famous by The Beatles is named after an influential local person in the slave trade..as are many notable streets in Liverpool.
Made me reflect on stereotypes – and certain elements of marginalization of black women that still exist among other things that crossed my mind..and thinking about the media and society..
Snapped at The International Slavery Musuem in Liverpool, UK. They should have museums like this all over the U.S.
Never lose your identity-there was a time African slaves didn't have a choice.
A slave torture mask for women slaves who got out of line..it was daunting to think about all of this that went on..and that human beings can be so cruel and think up such horrific things to do and make..
International Slavery Museum Liverpool –Muzzles, whips, punishment collars, torture masks, branding irons – no words. Blessings and prayers of strength to those who remain enslaved physically and mentally.
Vintage organ pipes – Hull.
I saw many beautiful buildings and lighting fixtures.
I met wonderful fans like Justin and Nilesh.
The divine David Arthur – upcoming artist musician. One of our drivers for the tour.
Dennis Edwards and The Tempations Revue Donny Finley and David Arthur chill at our customary "Fabulous Buffet" in Liverpool.
Lots of fabulous architecture and grand interiors in the theaters we played.
The UK still shows music video's on their music channel which was cool to see. I always had flowers in my room – gifts! Thank you to my fans for the love and taking the time to be so thoughtful. I appreciate it all the time.
A universal message – while I was having coffee in Liverpool and feeling blue – it seemed like a sign for me to snap out of it! I did.
He made us all sound great each night – shout out to sound and lights!
Sheila Ferguson original lead of Three Degrees (When Will I See You Again) having a moment before going onstage.
"Here Comes The Gesty" – David Gest awaits HIS introduction..what a character he is!
Rhyl, UK. Another classic theater.
Our last day in Liverpool. Many of us will keep in touch..some won't. Just like camp, school, work – life.
In the hotel lobby Liverpool – home was just a couple days away!
After our final long drive, we pulled into London – Camden.
We clocked a lot of miles on the road.. pulling into Camden.
En route to Gilgamesh.. I reflected of fond memories as I snapped this photo of playing this venue in 2006 for "The Makeover release with Dego of 4Hero – great show!
The intimate, posh and stunning Gilgamesh, Camden table setting.
With Alle Pearse at Gilgamesh – last night of tour, also the Mom of two beautiful little ones.
With our music director, keyboardist Arden Hart – smiling for the first time, last night show – Gilgamesh Camden!
And it's a wrap – Arden gathers his charts..
I'm going home now…where are my keys? You don't have to go home – but you have to get the h** out of here!
Airport lounge..more captivating light fixtures.. ready to keep on keeping on!
Anders Knudsen – Perils (purchased a few days before trip ended – love it).
I'm sure there's more..but these stand out the most.
I don't have to travel to far from home!
Yoshi's Oakland, May 29, 2014. Get your tickets NOW! Experience the 'Nightlife'. One show. One night, plus VIP Meet and Greet. Paradise Pre-Release Celebration -Hits and More!!

In-Box Review
1⁄35
Carl-Gustaf M4 with Cover
84mm Carl-Gustaf M4 Multi-Role Weapons System with cover
by: Darren Baker [ CMOT ]
Legend Productions has dipped their toes and now jumped in the deep end when it comes to 1/35th scale small arms weapons systems. These small arms offerings are 3D scanned and then cast in resin in order to provide highly accurate representations for the modeller to satisfy their need for accurate and well detailed elements on their models or with their figures. The item I am looking at here from Legend Productions is the 84mm Carl-Gustaf M4 Multi-Role Weapons System with cover and is one of four 84mm Carl-Gustav sets released so far.
The following portion of the introduction is from the SAAB.com website:
The Carl-Gustaf system is a true multi-role, man-portable shoulder-fired weapon.
A weapon's multi-role capacity can mean the difference between combat success and failure. The highly versatile Carl-Gustaf system is a true multi-role, man-portable shoulder-fired weapon. The system offers the soldier various types of ammunition, ranging from armour penetration and anti-personnel, to ammunition for built-up areas as well as special features like smoke and illumination.
Legend Productions is on a role and has started to tackle the 84mm Carl-Gustaf weapons system as a part of their 3D product line. There are four products thus far which are as follows:
LF3D065 – Carl-Gustaf twin containers and ammunition set
LF3D066 – 84mm Carl-Gustaf M3 multi-role weapons system
LF3D067 - 84mm Carl-Gustaf M4 multi-role weapons system
LF3D068 - 84mm Carl-Gustaf M4 multi-role weapons system with cover
This offering provides four 84mm Carl-Gustaf M4 recoilless rifles with the cover fitted in 1/35th scale. The product is all moulded in resin with the tubular portion being made up of four parts. I have examined these pieces under high magnification and could not see anything that caused me concern as regards the rifle parts. I did a close inspection of the rounds supplied with this offering as I found an air bubble in one of the supplied rounds of a previous example and no issues were found. It took me quite a while to find out exactly what the cover was all about and after much searching I found the following. The cover is a housing for a redundant or secondary sight for the weapons system in the form of a red dot targeting.
The tube for want of a better word has a small recess at both ends, but these recesses will need to be made deeper to improve the look and improve the realism of the item. The firing handle is a separate part with a very good level of detail even including the trigger itself. The sight on this offering is again the Aimpoint® FCS13-RE Fire Control System which will be fitted to all US military offerings of the 84mm Carl-Gustaf M4 which is named or identified by the US as the M3-E1 MAAWS; I could not find any information on the US Military utilising the cover and back up scope. Finally the front handle grip is the last element of the weapon and has been supplied with alternate parts in order to depict a folded handle or one in place for use.
There are a number of differences in the 84mm Carl-Gustaf M4 and the 84mm Carl-Gustaf M3; The weapon is shorter, lighter and has a different carrying handle that can be folded out of the way as shown in this example, I will say that I wish Legend Productions had made the carrying handle as a separate part in order that it could be shown being carried. The four rounds included with this release cover 1 round from each of the four groups of weapons the 84mm Carl-Gustaf M3 can fire. The rounds provided in this release are:
HEAT 655cs – Anti Armour
Smoke 469c - Support
HEDP 502 or HEDP 502rs – Multi-Role Anti-Structure
HE 441 D or HE 441D rs – Anti Personnel
The cover shown on this example or back up red dot sighting system is a feature I found very hard to get reference on and I am wondering if it has been sacrificed for the weight loss. If anyone has extra information on this I would love to hear it as it is an interesting feature.
The 84mm Carl-Gustaf M4 is the latest and lightest version of the 84mm Carl-Gustaf weapons system and is also in the process of going into service with the US military at this time. The Aimpoint® FCS13-RE sight depicted is the version that the US military has purchased for this system. I have included an image of the weapons system and the Aimpoint® FCS13-RE as a visual reference against what is provided and I cannot pick out any errors or omitted detail. My feeling is that this is another especially nice addition to the 3D line of man portable weapons and will add a nice large weapon for modern military dioramas or as extra weapons being carried on/in vehicles for a very current setting. The Slovakian military was the first to take the 84mm Carl-Gustaf M4 in 2015
Darren Baker takes a look at a new resin product from Legend Productions in their 3D range in the form of '84mm Carl-Gustaf M4 Multi-Role Weapons System with Cover'.

UMass Boston students and staff can expect to pay more to park on campus, as some rates will increase by at least 50 percent at the end of the current semester, the university announced Friday.
Currently, parking at the school for a day costs $6, a rate that will continue throughout the spring semester. Under the new rate structure, daily parking at the university's lot at the former site of the Bayside Expo Center will cost $9, and parking at a new, 1,400-space garage and other campus lots will be $15, according to a letter from Kathleen Kirleis, the vice chancellor for administration and finance at UMass Boston, sent to the school's community.
The new parking rates represent the first increase in 15 years, and are necessary to help pay for the $69.75 million garage that is projected to open in the summer, the letter stated.
UMass Boston, facing a financial crisis that has forced job cuts and other reductions, said the new rates ". . . flow directly from financial realities of needing to pay the debt service . . . on the garage and operate the facility," Kirleis wrote in the letter.
Parking costs will also increase for prepaid parking passes for the Bayside lot and the new garage. New students buying a semester pass for Bayside will pay $7.20 a day, for faculty and staff, the cost of a semester pass for Bayside would be $8.22 a day, according to Kirleis's letter.
Returning students next year will be able to buy a semester pass for the Bayside lot that would average out to $5.85 a day, according to the letter. Current semester pass rates for students would appear to range in daily cost from about $4.64 to $4.88, according to the school's site.
A semester pass for the new garage would cost students $12 per day, and faculty and staff $13.71 per day, according to Kirleis's letter.
The school, in a statement, said about a third of its 16,500 students drive to campus.
"We believe that this structure provides students, faculty, and staff with a lower-cost option at Bayside and offers convenient, on-campus parking at rates comparable to or lower than those found at many colleges and universities in the area," said Kirleis in a statement.
Tom Goodkind, president of the Professional Staff Union at UMass Boston, called the proposal, "regressive" for students and adjunct faculty.
Union contracts at UMass Boston expired last June, and union and school officials have been negotiating since December 2016, he said.

When you are feeling anxious, you are reacting with fear to a thought you are having about the future. More than likely, it is a visual thought, meaning you are seeing a picture of it in your mind. The process goes something like this: you have the thought, then you see a picture of it in your imagination, and then wham, you feel anxiety sweeping through your body!
To get the idea of how this works, think of something you really enjoy doing. Imagine yourself engaged in that activity. Really see a picture of it in your mind's eye. Now, notice how it feels in your body as you look at the picture. Do you feel happy? Excited? Your body responds to the picture in the same way it does when you're actually performing the activity. You think of something fun, happy, or exciting and you feel happy and excited.
Here is where the cool trick comes in. Imagine yourself in the same enjoyable picture as before. Now, imagine the picture getting bigger. Make it really big in your mind. What happens? As the picture gets bigger, the feelings get more intense and enjoyable (at least in most cases). Try making the colors brighter, more vivid. Does that increase the enjoyable feelings? Bring the picture closer to your face. What happens? Are there sounds coming from your picture? Turn the sound up and notice if the pleasant feelings increase with the louder sounds.
Did you notice that you were controlling how you felt in your body by manipulating the pictures in your head?! You have a lot more power over how you feel than you thought! The good news is that you can use these kinds of manipulations in reverse to help lower your anxiety.
To try it out, choose something that only MILDLY causes you concern, maybe something like losing your shoes or seeing a police officer suddenly driving behind you (no lights on, he/she's just driving!). See the picture of it in your mind. Notice how you're starting to feel anxiety in your body. Now, shrink the picture down to the size of a pencil eraser. How does that feel? Take a few deep cleansing breaths. Try some of the other manipulations you used on the good picture. Move the disturbing picture far away, maybe even across the street, or across town. Change the colors to black and white. Mute the sound. Take some time to try out these various manipulations with your mildly disturbing picture to find out which ones work best for you. In addition, you can have an enjoyable picture ready to take the place of the disturbing one. For example, immediately after you shrink (or move away, turn to black and white, or mute) the disturbing picture, pop up a nice large, colorful version of your enjoyable picture.
The more you practice manipulating the pictures in your mind, the better you'll get at it. That way, when you've got more anxiety producing thoughts racing around in your head, you'll be ready to manipulate them down to a much more manageable image. Sometimes the thoughts go around in your head so fast it's hard to see the pictures attached to them. It can help to slow them down enough to notice the pictures if you will take a few slow, deep cleansing breaths and do some grounding exercises. (see my article Back To The Future…Not! – Two Essential Self-Calming Skills to learn about grounding your energy) These mind-picture manipulation exercises can be very helpful for mild, moderate, or urgent anxiety. If you are experiencing chronic extreme anxiety, you may need more professional help with learning to calm yourself.
Hope that this works for me in the middle of the night, that is when all of my anxiety tends to start to creep in.
hmm…sounds like a nice way to deviate your mind away from something unpleasant and bring a happy picture into your mind.
but will this not actually be a bad thing because although you are getting rid of the future picture in your mind,the future itself is not got rid of and will arrive without you even having thought of a good solution because you were busy sending the unpleasant picture away and with staring at the pleasant picture…?!
Great, Michael! I'm glad the exercises are helping. Yes, you'll get better with practice. And sometimes, when your anxiety is especially active, you can add getting up and moving your body to the exercises. Walking up and down stairs, walking briskly outside, jumping on a mini-trampoline, or any activity that forces you to use your leg muscles will help. Of course you'll have to visualize with your eyes open so you don't run into anything!
Hope the exercises are working for you at night. They can be helpful then, although for night time, I and many of my clients find that doing focused abdominal breathing helps alot. Take deep breaths, slowly, from deep in your abdomen. Inhale and exhale slowly while focusing only on the sensation of breathing. Focus on the sensation of air passing through your nose, or the feeling of your abdomen rising and falling. Relax all your muscles as you inhale, and tense them as tightly as you can on the exhale. Do the muscle tensing 10 or 15 times, and then just focus on the sensation of breathing. Anytime a thought comes to mind, "see" it turn into a spark and flame out, then return to your breathing. If you'll practice this for a few minutes during the day, you'll get better at it and it'll get easier at night.
I hear your concern! You're right, the future will come, but there is a difference between uselessly getting caught up in pictures of things you are afraid of, and using your brain power to plan and imagine exactly the outcome you WANT. You want to see and focus on pictures of what you WANT, not what you don't want, because what you pay attention to most in your mind is what you have a high probability of creating in your life. So, yes you need to spend a LITTLE time making plans for all possible outcomes, but then, you spend your precious mental energy focusing only on seeing in your imagination the outcome you want. That gives your brain a direction. Your thoughts tell your brain what direction to go, so the more you see exactly what you want in your mind, the more likely you will take the steps needed to get there in your life. Thanks for your comments!

EU Announces Retaliatory Tariffs Against The US
By Ethan Weston
Tariffs will be placed on items ranging from motorcycles to blue jeans to bourbon.
The European Union announced Wednesday it will slap billions of dollars in tariffs on U.S. goods beginning Friday.
The tariffs will affect $3.24 billion worth of products ranging from Harley-Davidson motorcycles to blue jeans to bourbon.
The move is in response to President Donald Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs against the EU that went into effect earlier in June.

Those tariffs also affected Canada and Mexico. Mexico imposed retaliatory tariffs earlier in June. Canada said its tariffs against the U.S. would go into effect July 1.
The Trump administration imposed separate tariffs on Chinese goods earlier this month. China responded with its own tariffs on $50 billion in U.S. goods.
In a statement, the European Commission said the EU will impose other tariffs on U.S. goods if the trade dispute isn't resolved.

Michael is very active in the Unitarian Universalist Musicians Network, which promotes ties and exchanges among UU musicians in North America. Michael finds the Unitarian Universalist Church a welcome vehicle for him to experience the true joy of meaningful musical expression and to connect with the "real world" outside of his academic and performing career.
Michael has always been active in a wide spectrum of musical pursuits that have taken him around the world. He is a PhD candidate in Historical Musicology at the University of Maryland, College Park, made possible by means of a university-wide fellowship, and he obtained a BM in Music Theory/Composition and an MM in Orchestral Conducting from two American universities, with studies abroad at the British Institute in Florence, Italy. After spending much of his early career performing as a French hornist in several professional orchestras, his interests gradually shifted toward conducting and early music. Since then, he has performed extensively as a conductor in Europe, leading performances with orchestras in seven European countries.
His artistic focus in the USA deals primarily with early music and musicological pursuits. Currently, he serves as Music Director and Principal Conductor of the Orchestra of the 17 th Century and director of the Washington Cornett and Sackbutt Ensemble, one of this country's premiere period instrument wind groups. Michael has demonstrated a special interest in Nordic music, and is a candid advocate of the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. He was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship in 2001-02 to live in Helsinki, Finland in order to research Sibelius's life and works.
As a singer, Michael has sung with the premiere Finnish male voice choir Ylioppilaskunnan Laulajat (YL), and in 2005, he sang with them on their American tour, which included a well-received performance at Lincoln Center in New York City. In December 2007, Michael traveled to China to sing with a small group of American singers to take part in the premiere of Ye Xiaogang's "Song of Peace," an oratorio written for the 70th anniversary of the Nanjing holocaust in 1937.

Q: Tooling API Queries in Dev Console only show one row When submitting a SOQL query in the Dev Console using the Tooling API only one result row shows, even though more overall rows are returned, as confirmed by the "Query Results" notice above the returned row.
For example, the query below to find indexed fields on the Account only displays one returned row, but has a "Query Results - Total Rows" of 51.
select id, DataType, NamespacePrefix, DeveloperName from FieldDefinition where EntityDefinition.QualifiedApiName = 'Account' AND IsIndexed = TRUE

The same query delivered through the REST API returns the full expected number of results.

A: As per support, the Tooling API will only return the first row of a SOQL query by design to avoid potential performance issues. REST API is the recommended way to get multiple rows returned.

'Snack culture'
Fast-changing web-based content spawns new pop sub-genres
Digital users typically consume online cultural content on average 10 minutes. Referring to this quick habit of consuming information and cultural resources, the so-called "snack culture" is becoming representative
of the Korean cultural scene. (Korea Times file)
"The Aftereffect," a web drama series, has garnered more than 2 million views.
By Chung Ah-young
It's easy to find Koreans reading news articles or watching films or dramas on their smartphones on a subway or bus.
To cater to this increasing number of mobile users whose tastes are changing fast, the web-based cultural content is churning out diverse sub-genres from conventional formats of dramas and cartoons to novels.
Digital users typically consume online cultural content on average 10 minutes. Mainly on the move, they get addicted to the short segments. Referring to this quick habit of consuming information and cultural resources rather than engaging in a deeper read, the so-called "snack culture" is becoming representative of the Korean cultural scene.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism recently published a report titled "Trends in Culture and Art for 2014" in association with the Korea Culture and Tourism Institute. In this report, the snack culture will be one of the core trends predicted to grow rapidly this year. Web-based contents such as dramas, films, cartoons and novels that can be consumed in minutes is expected to thrive.
"Due to the wider use of smartphones, the snack culture is expected to get a boost this year," a ministry official said.
Naver, the nation's largest portal site, launched a web drama series, "The Aftereffect" on Jan. 6. The series revolves around a high school boy named Ahn Dae-yong who gains a supernatural power of predicting the imminent death of people after falling from a roof top.
Within nine days after the drama was first posted on its TV cast, it has garnered more than 2 million views. The Aftereffect adopts a different streaming format, involving the release of several short episodes at a time to reflect viewers' habit of watching the show at their leisure time. It models after the streaming format of Netflix's political thriller, "House of Cards," which became the first web-only series to win an award during a Primetime Emmys in 2013. The Emmys began recognizing the notable web television series from 2007.
"The Hungry Woman," a mobile film based on the eponymous webtoon, deals with a single woman's life in her 30s and connects it with food. It has so far hit some 3.2 million views on Naver's TV cast. (Courtesy of Naver)
The short film based on the web cartoon "Misaeng" by Yoon Tae-ho showed the potential of growth of the web-based shorts. With some 10-minute-long running time, it received 1.5 million hits within three weeks of its release last year and has recently received about 3.5 million views.
The web film portrays interpersonal relations between employees of Korean corporations, focusing on the daily grind and survival in the corporate culture. It draws an analogy between life in modern society and the game of baduk.
The sensational cartoon has struck a chord with corporate employees. Responding to the enormous popularity, it was made into the short mobile flick last year, starring Yim Si-wan, a member of K-pop group ZE:A for the lead role of Jang Geu-rae, the protagonist in an omnibus format.
Also, "The Hungry Woman," a mobile film based on the eponymous webtoon, deals with a single woman's life in her 30s and connects it with food. It has so far hit some 3.2 million views on Naver's TV cast. CJ E&M's "20 Years Old," which consists of four episodes, was released on Dec. 19, targeting a young audience.
The online novels are already expanding their horizons from traditional literary fictions to "genre fiction" or popular fiction.
"Gwanghae's Lover" has been recently published in hardcopy after becoming the top-grossing web novel among the paid service fictions on Naver. More recently, the so-called "smart fiction," which combines elements from literary fiction and games, is making waves among digital-savvy young people.
The genre fiction has long been consumed on the periphery of mainstream literature but is now enjoying rising popularity on online platforms. NHN launched a web novel section last year to post a slew of genre fictions which target their specific fans.
Yes24, the online bookstore, also provides an e-page section for online fiction since last May.
As more and more people are getting used to the new platforms through the web comics, so are they gaining easy access to the online fictions, which are updated quickly and enjoyable regardless of time and space.
Also, amateur authors post their novels on their private blogs, diversifying the sub-genres of the e-novels. On Naver, some 300 novels are posted daily with 61 professional authors and 62,000 amateurs.
Prominent authors such as Park Bum-shin, Hwang Suk-young and Jo Jung-rae are joining the tide of digital publications.
Park first published his novel, "Cholatse," in installments on Naver in 2007, becoming the first Korean novelist to post his novel on the Internet.
Online publishing is steadily becoming a common method for authors to promote their literary works. Recently, Jo, renowned for his saga "The Taebaek Mountain Range," serialized his new novel "Jungle Great" on Naver. Set in Beolgyo, South Jeolla Province, the tale depicts the struggles of Korean businessmen in China, and has already garnered more than 12 million page views. After finishing the online serialized release, his novel was published in hardback, selling more than 1 million copies.

In the footage, one officer tells the mother, identified by NBC 13 as O'Sheana Harrison, to get her children "by the window." The outlet reports that the children are under the age of 3.
From left, Officers Cole Johnson, Craig Vasquez, Tyler Kelley, and Casey Sanders.De Moines Police Dept.
The Des Moines Police Department said officers responded to the inferno to assist the fire department. Officers told Harrison to drop her kids out the window because heavy smoke prevented them from getting to the third floor, where her apartment was.
Harrison then drops the first child out the window and into the officer's arms. The officer tells the child, who is crying, to stand next to him and then instructs Harrison to drop the second child.
The video shows the policeman catching the second child as several other officers come over to help. After the third child is safely dropped from the window, an officer tells Harrison to "stay on the edge" and yells for someone to bring a ladder.
"We got to get a ladder over here quick," the officer yells. "We got somebody trapped. We got the kids."
Harrison screams for them to hurry and asks the officer to cover her child up with a blanket. In the video, flames can be seen shooting out of the side of the building.
The video ends before it shows officers rescuing Harrison, but she also made it out of the building safely.
"I can't say thank you enough to them," Harrison told NBC 13. "I owe them the world, because they saved my world."

Determine which airlines are the best airlines for cheap flights are really difficult quest. There are so many airlines offering cheap airline tickets, it is difficult to specify a restriction on the table to come up with the best airlines.
There are a few considerations that must be considered when talking about the best airlines for cheap flights. The ideal would be reasonably cheap airlines, which do not offer loaded with hidden fees and treat their passengers on great customer service.
Airlines have generally taken a nose dive in the customer service arena. Flying used to be an adventure. Much attention was paid to the comfort of the passenger. The airlines were accommodating. Today, it is not the same scene. Airlines are not more accommodating. Passenger comfort is not the highest priority. The attitude of the airlines seem to be – you pay for what you get. The airlines will signal that they are doing the passengers a favor by providing cheap flights and therefore customers should not expect to send anything in the way of comfort or politeness. Paying for a cheap flight, the customer should not be ruled out.
As the best airlines to be called the airlines need to find the middle ground between cheap, while still making the passenger feel that flying was an event.
A good airline that both service and cheap deals is US Airways, which consistently ranked highly among flyers. Another good airline that has found a way to offer affordable flights without cutting back on services Northwest Airlines. From the ticketing agents to the flight attendants – everyone is friendly.

Q: Does order of class selectors matter? Assume that I have an element as below:
<div class="A B C" />

And in the scss stylesheet, I have the styles as below:
.A {
  &.B {

  }
  &.C {
  }
}

.B {
  &.A {
  }
  &.C {
  }
}

.C {
  &.A {
  }
  &.B {
  }
}

What are the CSS styles the element will pick up and how does it work?

A: All of these would be applied, since the order is not relevant. The later rules will overwrite the previous ones if they contain settings for the same parameters, just due to the order in the stylesheet.

A: All of these styles will be picked up. Order of classes does not matter. The CSS this will translate to is basically:
.A.B {
}
.A.C {
}

.B.A {
}
.B.C {
}

.C.A {
}
.C.B {
}

...and because it has all three classes, they all apply.

Asia Cup 2023 to be played in Pakistan
Ramiz Raja, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), has declared that Pakistan will host the Asia Cup in 2023. The tournament will be played in ODI format and would be held in Pakistan, according to reports. Pakistan last held the Asia Cup in 2008 and has yet to host another major ICC tournament since then.
After a terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team bus in Lahore in 2009, teams from all over the world ceased traveling to Pakistan. When Zimbabwe toured Pakistan in 2015, international cricket returned to the country for the first time since 2009.
Since then, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has worked hard to bring international cricket to the country on a regular basis, but has been unsuccessful.
The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has allegedly decided to give Pakistan the hosting rights of the Asia Cup 2023, which is a significant boost for the PCB. According to Cricbuzz, Pakistan Cricket Board chief Ramiz Raja has announced that the competition will be held in Pakistan.
The decision was made during the ACC meeting in Dubai on Thursday (October 15), at which PCB chairman Raja was present. The Asia Cup will be contested in ODI format in 2023, while it will be a T20 event in 2022, which will be hosted by Sri Lanka next year.
The Asia Cup will be held for the 16th time in 2023. The 15th edition was supposed to be played last year, but because to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was postponed.
The PCB had the hosting rights for the 15th edition, but the BCCI expressed misgivings over sending the Indian team to Pakistan and requested that the competition be moved to the UAE.

Philips Lighting installs its first LED stadium lighting system in Turkey for Sinan Erdem Arena
Sinan Erdem Arena's basketball court and stands lit with innovative LED lighting for the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four
New lighting meets needs of the International Basketball Federation and broadcasters
Ideal for entertainment light and sound shows pre-match and during breaks
Istanbul – A global leader in lighting and operating in Turkey for 87 years, Philips Lighting (Euronext Amsterdam ticker: LIGHT) has installed the first Philips ArenaVision LED pitch lighting system in Turkey at the Sinan Erdem Arena. Energy efficient pitch and stand lighting was installed at the sports arena ahead of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four on May 19-21. The pitch lighting meets the latest International Basketball Federation (FIBA) standards for TV broadcasting and can be used to enhance the fan experience through dazzling light and music shows.
The new Philips ArenaVision LED lighting is ideal for the fast rhythm of basketball, enhancing the comfort of the athletes and the experience for basketball fans in the 16,500 capacity arena and for those watching the game on television. The lighting meets the stringent requirements of television broadcasters that require high quality lighting for UHDTV and flicker-free super slow motion replays.
The lighting of the basketball court was achieved using 92 Philips ArenaVision LED floodlights with a further 96 Philips SportsStar LED floodlights illuminating the stands. Compared to conventional lighting, the new lighting system reduces energy consumption for lighting by 40 percent, saving on electricity costs. The Philips ArenaVision system can also be used to create spectacular light shows synchronized with sound and other entertainment fixtures to enhance the fan experience.
Saner Kırık, Sales Director of Philips Lighting Project Channel for Turkey, said: "Sinan Erdem Arena will host international sports competitions and other types of events. We take pride in helping to transform the arena with cutting-edge technology to create an amazing fan experience that meets the latest broadcast and sports federation standards. Our dynamic sports lighting elevates the Sinan Erdem Arena to one of Europe's top sporting venues and it gives us immense pleasure to support the transformative and unifying power of sport. We look forward to sharing the thrill of basketball with fans at the venue and watching at home."
For more than 60 years, Philips Lighting has been in sports lighting. It lights more than 65 percent of stadiums used in major international sporting events and 55 percent of the world's main football stadiums use Philips Lighting technology. Philips ArenaVision LED is being used in the arenas/stadiums of some of the biggest sporting clubs, including Ajax, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Juventus, PSV Eindhoven, VfL Wolfsburg to name but a few. Last year the system was installed in the Cairo Stadium, an indoor sports complex comprising four Olympic-standard, multi-use sporting arenas with a capacity of 20,000 spectators.

Just in time for World Cup 2006, and almost immediately following a name reversion, Google Maps has incorporated road details and local search for most of Western Europe.
France and Germany include as much detail as we're used to in the UK and US, and while some of the finer detail is a little sketchy once you get navigate beyond their borders, there's highway data for most of Western Europe. Do all roads lead to a World Cup 2006 venue?

Home / Stage 13 (S13)
The path to Winter Hill from Rivington Pike
STAGE 13 – RIVINGTON to the A675 near TOCKHOLES
7 miles – 3 hours walk.
1555 feet climbed – highest point 1,495 feet – Winter Hill
Some real hill walking but first the gardens of Lord Lever- Hulme and two follies. Magnificient views in all directions from Winter Hill, with its distinctive TV mast, which we have had sight of on most of the stages before today – weather permitting! The highest point on the Southern Loop and indeed in the whole of South Lancashire.
From the green in the village of Rivington, head south along the main road past a small number of properties. After the last, you will see a stony track on your left. Take this and follow it in an approximately easterly direction for about 400 meters until you reach a car park and Rivington Hall Barn. Depending upon the time of day and day of the week you are likely to be greeted by numerous motor cyclists, who often congregate here especially on a sunny weekend – there can be quite a cacophony of voices, laughter and of course engines.
The barn is one of two on the Lord Leverhulme Estate in Rivington and may date back to the 9th century but is more likely to be from the 16th century. From the outside this appears unlikely as it was renovated in 1905 but do pop inside and observe the huge wooden cruks which support the building and you can imagine a much older origin. Next to the barn is Rivington Hall, a very modest house and now a series of private apartments. The Georgian frontage was built in 1774 but the presence of a property was first recorded in 1477, when the estate was acquired by Richard Pilkington and he built a new structure on the site. Although this was the original house of the Rivington Estate, it was retained by the owner, when the land and remainder of the estate was sold to William Lever in 1900.
William Hesketh Lever is probably Bolton's most famous son. He was the seventh child and first son of a Bolton Grocer. He joined the family business when he was 16 and married Elizabeth Hulme, who lived on the same street in Bolton. He attended the local Congregational Church, which probably gave him many of his ideals, which he practiced in his subsequent business career and lead him to become one of the great social philanthropist of the era. In 1885, with his younger brother James, he entered the soap business when he bought a small works in Warrington. Shortly afterwards they developed a new form of soap made with palm oil and glycerine rather than tallow. With his business and marketing acumen, they were soon selling the honey or sunlight soap into over 130 countries. This success required expansion and they purchased 56 acres of land and developed the model village of Port Sunlight for his workers. Schools are built to educate 500 children. For women and girls, special classes are offered in cooking, dressmaking and shorthand.
In 1906 William was elected to parliament as a Liberal MP in the constituency of the Wirral. He later became a Lord and added his wife's surname to his to become Lord Leverhulme.
By 1909, there were 700 cottages in the village, a concert hall and theatre, a library, a gymnasium and an open air swimming pool. Rents were one fifth of the weekly wage. All the houses had running water and even bathrooms. But strict ethical rules had to be observed.
New products such as Lux, Vim and Lifebuoy were added. Although he died in 1925, the company continued to grow and by 1930 the company was the largest in Britian with over 250,000 workers. Later that decade it combined with a Dutch company to become the international conglomerate that is Unilever.
The Rivington Estate was originally 2,100 acres in total although large parts of this were compulsorily purchased by Liverpool Corporation in 1902. Over the first 10 years of his ownership of the Rivington Estate, he created Roynton Cottage, the terraced gardens and finally the Pigeon Tower. Presumably the estate was a retreat for the Lord and his wife. Roynton Cottage was replace by the Bungalow, his main residence on the Estate. Whilst William Lever was a friend of the workingman, his progressive views on the workforce were not enough to protect his property being targeted by the feminists of the day. Suffragette Edith Rigby, from Preston, burnt his bungalow to the ground to attract publicity to her cause of giving women the vote. Her 1913 arson attack destroyed valuable artwork and caused thousands of pounds of damage. Eventually, in 1918 women over 30 were given the right to vote as long as they met certain property qualifications.
The Lever Brothers were part of the huge change in landowning classes from solely the aristocracy to increasingly the new entrepreneurs of the day. To a large extent, it meant one set of rich people, the estate owning elite, being replaced by another, the nouveau riche.
Pass behind the Barn and Hall and continue straight on through two sets of gates and then head through the field toward the steep slopes of Rivington Moor, which are occupied by the Rivington Terraced Gradens. Pass through the gate into the gardens and take the first path on the left. Ascend the side of the hill. There are many paths and it is not easy to follow my route but whichever way you take if you continue to climb you will eventually reach the track at the top of the hill. However, in order to see some of the key sites please ascend and always bear left when there is an option to do so. When you reach a flat area look out for a set of steps on your right with a brick arch way. Turn right here, which will take you over the seven arched brick as it passes over another track below.
The Lever's Bridge or Archway Bridge over which the Lancashire Way crosses
Follow the formal steps until you reach another flat with ponds. Turn left and follow the path to the end where you reach another building with steps, ascend the steps and you reach the summit by the distinctive Pidgeon/Dovecote Tower. The third floor, with four mullion windows, was a sitting room used by William's wife for sewing and embroidery.
The Dovecote
In January of 2016, the Rivington Terraced gardens were awarded a grant of £3.4m by the National Lottery to conserve, repair and protect the gardens and structures such as the seven arched bridge and Pigeon Tower.
From the Dovecote take the track south looking out for the monument on top of Rivington Pike. However, before you take the track on your left, which takes you to the top of the Pike, descend a little back down the hill to find the site of the Bungalow. In one part you can still see tiles on the floor from the original house.
Looking back to the Pigeon Tower from Rivington Pike, with the Reservoirs in the distance.
Return and make your way to the top of Rivington Pike. The pike was another site of a beacon, which apparently dates back to the 12th century and was, like Ashurst's Beacon, prominent in the Anglo Spanish War in the 1580's. The stone structure on the summit is an 18th century Hunting Lodge, which has a fireplace and cellar, but unfortunately the door and windows have been filled in to prevent vandalism.
Descend from the pike on the east side and find the gate, which takes you through on to the open moorland.
Looking back to Rivington Pike
If the weather is good you can see the wide path ( see picture above), which takes you to the huge TV mast on the summit of Winter Hill. The path is muddy in parts and not always distinct, as it can be quite wet and boggy and hence walkers try to navigate as best then can across the moor towards the mast. If misty continue in an ENE direction and you will eventually reach the summit and the access roads to the various masts – 8 in total! Take the access road past the largest of the masts and then follow the road around to the left towards a series of other ariels and masts. To your right you should be able to see the trig point, which at 456m (1,496 feet) is the highest point on the Southern Loop.
The summit of Winter Hill
The summit of Winter Hill looking west
The TV mast was first built in 1956, but was subsequently increased in size and is now 1,015ft high. It is tubular in design, 9ft wide, which allows maintenance from within the mast. It is secured by huge metal wires. The top of mast is 2,553ft above sea level and is one of the largest structures in the UK.
You now need to descend the hill by the steep north-facing slope to the back of the masts. There are a number of paths but please take care with all, as they are steep and often have loose rocks under foot. The best can be found by following the tarmac track to the very end where there are three smaller mast. To the right you should find twi kissing gates. Take the second and then follow the fence which makes its way diagonally down the steep lope. At the bottom follow the stone boundary wall across the moorland for almost a kilometre to the road.
Cross the road and pass through the gate and continue along the path in the same approximately northerly direction keeping the boundary wall to your right. This used to be a grassy and in places a very boggy path but it has recently been replaced by a welcome stone one, including in sections made from old reclaimed flags. This is very reminiscent of parts of the Pennine Way. Follow this all the way to the summit of Great Hill – 381m high.
Looking back to Winter Hill from Great Hill
It is about 3 kilometres from the road to the top of Great Hill. There is an excellent shelter on the summit, in shape of a cross giving four distinct stone seating areas, which might give welcome rest from the strong winds which blow directly off the Irish Sea. There are excellent views in all directions, including the Bowland Fells and Pendle Hill behind the town of Blackburn.
The shelter on Great Hill with Darwen Tower and Pendle Hill in the distance
From the summit take the path which heads in NE direction along the top of the hill. The path can sometimes be both indistinct in parts and wide in other parts but just head NE along the top of the spine of Great Hill. Before long the path descends the rear of the Great Hill and when you reach the bottom of the steep slope the path splits into two. The left hand one heads towards a group of trees. However, take the right hand path which heads down to a stream via a stoned staircase like path. Cross the stream and over the stile and then head through the boggy fields towards the property known as Piccadilly, which sits on the A675 Belmont Road.
Descending Great Hill with Darwen Tower in the distance
This is probably the most difficult end of any Stage in terms of obtaining accommodation. I therefore recommend if at all possible that you combine this Stage with the following Stage 14 so that you end up in Abbey Village at the end of the day. However, the two Stages together are 13.1 miles with some of highest climbs on the Southern Loop so this may not be possible. If this is so I suggest that you opt for the taxi option but as mobile phone signals are not the best at the end of the Stage you may want to book in advance. The nearest hotel (4 miles) used to be the Grill and Grain Inn at the Boatyard near Riley Green but unfortunately this was burnt down in the Spring of 2017 and rebuilding work has still not begun. The alternative is the Oak Royal Hotel at Withnell. This is actually only about a third of a mile off the beginning of Stage 15. There are bus services from nearby Abbey Village to Chorley, which again is probably the best centre to head for with a Premier Inn (Chorley North) only 6 miles away.
Complete most of the Stage but at the summit of Great Hill descend down into White Coppice and then return to Rivington via Stage 12. Total distance is 12 miles. Free parking is available in Rivington and White Coppice.


St Swithun's Church in the pretty Wiltshire village of Hinton Parva dates mainly to the 13th-century but incorporates parts of a late Saxon building.
We know that there was a Saxon settlement around the church (and a pair of much-earlier Roman settlements before that). The most likely date for St Swithun's is the early 11th century.
The lower section of the tower may be Saxon and you can spot the outline of the 11th-century tower roof is the east wall of the tower. There is a lovely 15th-century clerestory rising above the nave, with three-light windows. The construction is rubble stone under a stone slate roof.
The south porch dates to the late medieval period. It protects a 12th-century doorway with billet hoodmould decoration on the arch.
Inside the church the most obvious signs of its age are the very large rounded pillars on the north side of the nave. The pillars have a very large diameter and plainly carved capitals.
Compare them to the pillars and arches on the south side of the nave, added around 1200. There the arches are still rounded but the pillars are much more slender and their capitals are beautifully carved in several different early Norman motifs.
Another obvious sign of the church's age is the beautifully carved font in tub style. The font is carved in wide bands, each with different motifs. On the top is a wide band of blind arcading, while underneath this is a band of saltire crosses.
The main section is carved with interlace patterns and scroll design incorporating an animal arching its head backwards. Beneath the interlace is another band of cable work and beneath that is a band of intersecting circles, perhaps a section that was left incomplete. The font carving is exceptional, with a wonderful vitality and artistry.
Set into the floor by the font is a 1653 grave slab to a member of the Wallrond family who fought for Parliament in the Civil War.
The nave is filled with Victorian box pews. At the north-east of the nave is a beautifully carved pulpit dated to 1637 while across the aisle is a reading desk of the same date. The lovely oak roof of the nave is of 15th-century date, though it had to be raised to make space for the late medieval clerestory.
The chancel arch is pointed, compared to the rounded Romanesque arches of the nave arcades. This suggests a date around 1200. Both north and south chancel arch capitals are carved with lovely stiff-leaf crockets.
The east window is probably a 19th-century restoration of a medieval window, with three lights and 19th-century stained glass. On the north chancel wall is a memorial to Elizabeth Kete, who died in 1630, while set into the floor beside the altar is a worn grave slab dated 1610.
On the wall high above the tower arch is a royal coat of arms dated 1789. It commemorates the recovery of King George III from the first attack of the madness that would eventually claim his life.
In the tower hang four bells, the oldest of which dates to 1500. One of the bells was cast at the Albourne foundry in 1730, and another is presumably from the reign of Charles II as it has several coins from his reign inserted into it.
St Swithun's Church is an absolute delight to visit. The village setting at the foot of the Ridgeway Downs is simply wonderful, and the village itself is worth exploring. Over the churchyard wall is Hinton Manor, a Grade II listed building dating to the 17th century.
The church is normally open daylight hours and was open when we visited on a sunny day in February.
Location: On Church Row, just off Bodyhorse Hill. Well signposted. Limited parking along the verge.

Singapore Airlines Will Feature A New Children's Picture Storybook!
August 7, 2018 September 24, 2022
A new children's picture storybook that explores Singapore's transport system will feature in Singapore Airlines (SIA). The book will be written by author, Matthew Cooper, and illustrated by Hong Kong-based artist, Candice Phang.
The book will be released on Singapore's National Day on 9 August 2018.
It will be made available at major bookstores and on krisshop.com as well as the October issue of the SilverKris magazine catalogue.
Entitled Lost in Singapore, the story will take a young boy across Singapore on various modes of transport as he looks for his missing pet parrot. His quest will bring him to locations such as Changi Airport and he will receive help from the Singapore Girl and other friendly characters.
SIA's spokesperson said Cooper approached the company to support his Endeavour in developing a children's book featuring Singapore. SIA saw value in his idea as it introduces children to the different modes of transport and attractions in Singapore as the story unfolds. SIA hopes to encourage reading in children and for the reader to discover a love for reading by reading more about Singapore. Cooper will be speaking to various media outlets to promote the book.
Senior vice president sales and marketing of Singapore airlines, Campbell Wilson said, "This is a beautifully-illustrated book and the writing has such a lyrical quality. It introduces young readers to Singapore's vibrant transport scene and shows them how its national carrier has played a strong role in transforming the country into an aviation hub. I am delighted that Singapore Airlines shares this same belief in the importance of education and supported the production of this book. I could not think of any brand more iconic and inseparable from its home country than Singapore Airlines."
