Use your individual strengths to help your team.
I went to Thomas College and earned a Bachelor's Degree in Management. After graduating I had limited prospects because the economy was in horrible shape. Little did I know that a random "Help Wanted on the Front Desk" sign at the Hampton Inn in Waterville would lead me to where I am today.
The most important benefit of being a part of Maine Course Hospitality Group is their dedication to their associates. The support has been amazing.
I love music and going to concerts. (Pearl Jam and Dave Matthews Band are my favorites.) I also love camping, fishing and hiking. I'm fortunate to have the staff that I do. I'm able to do all these things because they can handle the ship without its captain when I'm away.


What do you pray lately in these times of trouble–bombs, gunshots, riots and terror?
If the news leaves you speechless, try looking to the Psalms. You'll find the ancient prayers of God's people can be a helpful guide to your prayers today.
Oppression and affliction, suffering and wickedness—these are nothing new, unfortunately, in the story of mankind. It's nothing new, either, for mankind to cry out to God in these times.
Thankfully, God listens. He hears the cries. He cares and has compassion.
We can join God's people who have cried out to him throughout the ages when we pray the same words from the Psalms in our times of trouble.
Below you'll find a prayer that I've adapted primarily from Psalms 9 and 10. The words are ancient, but they are still relevant truths of today. I hope it will be a helpful prayer resource during these times of trouble. May you find comfort and peace from our God who cares.
His victims are crushed. They collapse.
But you, O God, do see trouble and grief.
You, O Lord, are a refuge for the oppressed.
You are a stronghold in times of trouble.
Call him to account for his wickedness.
You, O Lord, are King for ever and ever.
you encourage them, and you listen to their cry.
You, O Lord, keep my light burning.
You, O God, turn my darkness into light.
You are my rock, my fortress and my deliverer.
I will trust in you, O Lord and King.

Everyone finds their own sources of inspiration. Find yours, and visit them frequently, especially in these times of great uncertainty. Then go to work. Speak, write, dance, make music, make art, invent the ways for civilizations to heal.
Every medium has its own structure and every person has their own creative process. The unifying factor among people who inspire me is their commitment to be true to themselves. They deepen my commitment to remain to true me.
These videos represent a handful of the many people who inspire me when I'm thinking not only about writing and the creative process but also about life.
Rules work by ignoring details. ... There probably is a correlation between being very skillful at something, being a master of something, and finding things in the world which are deeply significant, deeply meaningful and essential to your being who you are.
To bring together so many people, with the only objective being to spread love and compassion, was an amazing achievement. It's such a humble concept, giving up some of your time to help somebody else, but it really works. And in my experience, you never know when your influence is going to change somebody's day for the good, and change their thought process completely.
I'm thrilled the White House called me tonight because I'm working on a Hip-Hop album, it's a concept album, about the life of someone I think embodies Hip-Hop, Treasury Secretary, Alexander Hamilton.
Today, the Internet is part of the big antenna my mother tapped into in the sky. When I want to replenish my mind, feel the energy and thoughts of people who do amazing things in the world, I use the web. I am inspired by all sorts of people in all walks of life.

Neasden robber sentenced for New Years Day mugging outside Buckingham Palace
Lorraine King
Published: 3:39 PM February 24, 2011
Boy scout turn thief stole mobile phone from teenager
A CHEEKY robber who shouted out 'Happy New Year' before snatching a teenager's mobile in the early hours of January 1 has been sentenced in court today (Thursday.)
Lee Foley, 21, of Dollis Hill Lane, Neasden, mugged Jake Douglas near Buckingham Palace while 'showing off' to his friends in 2009.
Southwark Crown Court heard Foley, who is a boy scout, was on his way home after watching the fireworks in central London with friends when he punched Mr Douglas in the stomach before swiping his phone.
Before he fled he warned Mr Douglas not to tell anyone what had happened.
But he was arrested close to the scene after the victim alerted nearby police officers and he was subsequently picked out in an ID parade.
Ravinder Saimbhi, defending, said Foley had been involved with the scouts 'for a long, long time' and since the robbery he had not reoffended.
He told the court his client has been working full-time for two removal firms, and planned to take up a place at Kingston University to study mechanical engineering.
Handing Foley a 42 week prison sentence suspended for a year with 150 hours of unpaid work, Judge Andrew Goymer said he took into account the fact that the offence took place two years ago, and that Foley has not been in trouble since.
He added: "Street robbery is a serious offence. It causes distress to the victims and also it makes the public in general uneasy and fearful about walking the streets of London at night."
Foley, who admitted robbery, has also been placed under a two-month curfew between 10pm and 6am and ordered him to pay �250 in prosecution costs.

What Brinkmanship Means
June 14, 2011 Currency Movements, ECB, Euro, Europe, Foreign Exchange Market, France, Greece, Growth, Interest Rates
The June 14 meeting of European finance ministers did not resolve the dispute that is splitting the euro zone. This outcome is hardly surprising. The logic of brinkmanship tactics say it is too early to blink and in this environment, the euro looks particularly vulnerable.
One one side is of the game is Germany, Austria, Finland and the Netherlands. They seem to be pushing for bond holders to share in the adjustment process and appear to agree with the German proposal of having bond holders roll out their holdings of Greek sovereign bonds for seven years.
The ECB, France, Belgium and Spain are concerned that the German proposal would lead to a credit event and are playing a game of brinkmanship of their own. Last week, Trichet did not have to say that the ECB would not roll-over its Greek debt. It appears to be among the largest single owners of Greek sovereign bonds. It has said it would hold those bonds it purchased until maturity. He could have said, it up to the board and no concrete proposal has been received. But his off the cuff refusal sent a powerful message to Greece's other creditors.
The rating agencies have already indicated that given Greece's ratings and condition, an exchange would be considered distressed and be regarded as a default. It is ultimately ISDA's decision whether it triggers the credit default swaps. However, it would be difficult for the rating agencies to claim a default, selective or otherwise, and for ISDA to disagree.
And whatever happens to Greece, investors will conclude, is the future of Ireland and Portugal, though officials in those countries deny that, of course.
As the finance ministers met, Greece reported its budget deficit grew in the first five months of the year. This underscores the challenge Greece is having implementing the IMF/EU strategy. Greek 10-year bond yields rose to 17.45% following S&P 3 step downgrade to CCC (with a negative outlook).
Brinkmanship tactics require pushing toward the abyss only to pullback at the last moment. Think Cuban Missile Crisis. The June 14 fin min meeting was never the forum for resolution of the brinkmanship game. There is still plenty of time left, which means there is no need to blink quite yet. What is next?
On June 17th Merkel and Sarkozy meet in Berlin. France and Germany. That was the pillar of the euro zone. But Germany appears to increasingly going its own way. It changes to it constitution not only enshrine a balance budget but it freezes German contribution to the EU. Merkel's reversal on nuclear energy further pushes it away from the EU. In the aftermath of the Japanese nuclear disaster, other countries, such as Italy are having second thoughts about nuclear power, though not France (so far). This further pushes Germany into a closer relationship with Russia, which it may become increasingly dependent on as a source of energy.
In any event, Merkel and Sarkozy are unlikely to reach an agreement. The finance ministers will meet against on June 19-20. Here too the market will be disappointed with the lack of agreement. Until now, there seemed to be a reasonable good chance that at the heads of state summit on June 24 would produce an eleventh hour agreement. However, Greece does not need the money until some time in July. There has been some speculation in the market that it may need the money--that is the next tranche of IMF/EU money--before then, though that is not immediately clear.
Therefore the risk is that the June 24th summit is not sufficiently close to the brink to force an agreement. An agreement still seems to be the most likely scenario chiefly because the other alternatives look worse. As Trichet noted on June 9th, officials, and by that he likely meant the bloc led by Germany, "are flirting with what could be an enormous mistake."
The 5 and 20 day moving averages often provide a useful guide to the near-term trend. Sterling often leads the euro and its 5-day moving average is already toying with its 20-day average, signaling an erosion of the near-term trend. The euro's moving averages have not crossed but they can later this week or early next week.
The $1.4500 area now likely denotes the upper end of the range. Initially support is seen in the $1.4285-$1.4300 area. A convincing break of $1.4250 likely will be seen as a signal to retest $1.40. That said, the euro still seems fairly resilient in the face of the credit risks around the corner and the continued pressure on the periphery and some widening of spreads in Spain, as if the firewall is coming under pressure, albeit still quite modest. The resiliency could be a sign that the market has taken on board most of the bad news and is looking past it. Alternatively the resilience could be a temporal issue and the euro under this possibility is quite vulnerable. My read of the technical and fundamental entrails favor the latter.

It looks like I bought the T in 2006 as an uncompleted restoration, the chassis was finished and the timber body frame started. Unfortunately the body was made to be not so squeezy in the front seat which meant standard panels did not fit so I started again and purchased a timber kit from the US and brought it back in my luggage.
Going through customs and quarantine was a bit of a problem as the kind officer insisted on pulling each piece of timber out of the box and inspecting it before moving onto the next so in the end I had jigsaw puzzle to solve as it would only back back in box the way it came out. Needless to say I failed so apart from umteen suitcases, boxes and bags we also had loose kindling to manhandle to the car park.
I have not been able to find many photos of the car during this time. However from the dates on the photos it only took a few months to get it on the road albeit not painted and I think we painted it the next year.
I have driven the T on many rallies the longest to Naracoorte where the low tension magneto packed it in, however I still managed to get home on the battery. As an aside it appears that a piece of brass from the bands (Hard ones made of brake shoe material) had got jammed between one of the coils and earth so I did the trick with the compass and 3 12v car batteries and kabang it was blown out, hasn't missed a beat since. Also I have replaced the bands with Kevlar as they do not shed conductive material.


Amethyst OM - This one is striking in it's design-it really says "OM" loudly! And also powerful because it's mounted on Astrophllite –a Titanium mineral that is very grounding and calming. The large dark amethyst chunks add to it's power!

A Fantasy Novel
By Gwen Cole
"A poignant and heartfelt journey." —Wendy Higgins, New York Times bestselling author of the Sweet Evil series, on Cold Summer
Every day, Sam endures the same subway ride on her way to school, but when she meets a boy named Reid, suddenly her daily commute isn't so ordinary. Reid has the ability to teleport—or, drift, as he calls it—and for the first time, Sam has the opportunity to travel anywhere without a passport or plane ticket.
But as their two worlds come together, Sam discovers her family had been keeping secrets from her, and meeting Reid was just the beginning of unraveling the truth. When drifters begin to disappear, Sam has no choice but to face the threat when she finds out her family is among the missing.
As Reid and Sam start their search for the missing drifters, help comes from the most unexpected of places. After a significant breakthrough, Reid is taken, and Sam finds herself alone in a world she knows nothing about. With the enemy closing in, she soon realizes she's the only person who can save them all.

SUMMER SOCCER CAMP For boys and girls, rising 1st-7th grade. Camp is held Monday-Friday, 9am-Noon, at Georgetown Visitation. Call the TenniStar Sports office at 301-530-5472 with any questions.


1) 4 pounds of lamb–cut into medium sized pieces.
11) Shan Mutton Biryani mix [can buy at your local Indian or Middle Eastern store].
13) 3 cups of rice–half boiled.
Boil the meat in water–you can add a bay leaf to it if you like–until almost tender. In a deep pan add the oil, and once warn sautee the onions until golden brown. Then add the potatoes and let cook for 2 minutes. Add the lamb, 2 tblsp of the Shan mix spice, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, green chilly pepper, yogurt, and 1 tblsp of the cilantro. Let the flavors blend under medium heat for about 5 minutes. Then add a cup and a half of water, and let simmer for another 3 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Place in an oven dish, big enough for the sauce and the rice. Place the sauce at the bottom, layer the rice on top, sprinkle with the saffron and about 1/4 cup of water. Cover well with foil, and place in oven for 20-30 minutes when the rice is cooked through. Garnish with the rest of the cilantro and serve with yogurt and cucumber salad, chutney [blend a tomato, green chilly pepper, 3 tblsp of cilantro, lemon juice and salt] and a green salad.
No not in this one. We use it in other rice recipes. But in Aden particularly not many like to mix sweet and salty.
Thank you for your feedback and thoughts and suggestion. Will check out the Kuwaiti biryani.
Happy cooking. It is a wonderful hobby to have and love .


Located in the Vendée and Loire-Atlantique, these thalassotherapy centres each have their own very unique charm and qualities that invite visitors to energise the body, refine the figure or simply revitalise and recharge the batteries while enjoying the benefits of the Atlantic Ocean.
Nestled against the small cove of La Source, in Pornic (44), this thalassotherapy centre – once the town's casino – is now a haven of peace. Visitors can enjoy this very private setting, enjoying seaweed or clay wraps as well as gentle head and face massages, for example, or Japanese massotherapy and ayurveda, the house speciality. This 4,000-m2 wellness area has a hydrotherapy circuit, a seawater pool, a gym, a eucalyptus hammam and even a sauna with a luminotherapy system.
There is a delightful ambience at this Sables d'Olonne (85) centre, attached to a hotel whose décor is inspired by 1930s cruise ships. The whole place is tucked away in the heart of a pine forest, not far from the ocean and the Lac de Tanchet. Facilities include a seawater pool heated to 32°C, a small fine sandy beach and old-fashioned bathing cabins. Visitors can also enjoy a hydromarine circuit, fitness and aromatherapy rooms, an Oriental hammam and even couples' treatments in a charming private space.
Hidden away from the hustle and bustle of La Baule (44), on the Pointe du Bec, this magnificent 19th century château houses a splendid four-star hotel beloved by celebrities – it was even chosen as the base for the Swedish football team during the 2016 Euros. It sits alongside a park with hundred-year-old trees, a high-end restaurant and, most importantly, a spa centre equipped with a full-to-bursting hydromarine area that includes indoor and outdoor pools, hydrotherapy circuit, leisure pool, solarium, cardio-fitness centre, saunas, a hammam and more! The hydrotherapy treatments are performed in wonderful private suites.
Located in the peaceful coastal town of Saint-Jean-de-Monts (85), this centre has one of the largest seawater pools in France and strives to offer cutting-edge treatments. Visitors can therefore experience hydrosensory treatments, which plays musical waves across a water "bed", or chromotherapy, a treatment method using colour. The place also makes use of the famous marine mud from the neighbouring bay of Bourgneuf to stock up on trace elements. It's worth noting that the Saint-Jean-de-Monts golf course, located nearby, is among the finest courses in France.
Remodelled from top to bottom, hotel Le Royal, managed in La Baule by the Barrière group, includes a 1,000-m2 thalassotherapy centre where refinement is the order of the day. The centre features three heated seawater pools, a hammam, a sauna, a relaxation room overlooking the ocean and two VIP rooms. The treatments, developed by the company's doctors and dietician, help eliminate toxins, while the very little ones can enjoy massages and baby swim lessons.
Pool for all - seawater at 34° + Jacuzzi the whole session.

News & Insights 17 October 2018
Jeremy Grose
The Standard Club has today announced that it is withdrawing from underwriting at Lloyd's from 2019. The club is exploring alternative approaches to provide its members with additional insurance covers.
The Standard Club has today announced that it is withdrawing from underwriting at Lloyd's from 2019.
The club established a syndicate in 2015 to underwrite marine and energy risks. It represented one strand of the club's broadly-based strategy to provide its members with a wider range of insurance covers to meet their needs and diversify the club's source of revenues.
The club remains committed to these strategic aims but it has concluded that current overcapacity and a weak pricing environment have made Lloyd's a challenging environment for it to develop a profitable underwriting business with sufficient scale.
The club is exploring alternative approaches to provide its members with additional insurance covers, including establishing an underwriting agency, to build on the strong base established through the Lloyd's initiative.
The full press release making the announcement is available on the right.

For the 2018 XOXO Festival, I created the interactive installation Dear Future Me — in which participants were invited to write a letter to their future selves alongside a mural that I simultaneously painted in real time.
The letters were hung up on around the mural by delicate rose gold threads, gleaming and glittering with participants' inner ruminations and introspections, fears and insecurities, and hopes and dreams for the future.
Installation format
Introspection ⇄ connection
As part of Dear Future Me, participants wrote letters to their future selves, which were then hung up as part of the installation.
During this process, I simultaneously painted an abstract mural of a girl writing a letter to her future self with my painting assistant extraordinaire, Maggie Waulkyn.
As the festival unfolded, more and more beautiful letters were added to the installation, as the mural also neared completion in tandem.
A year after the festival, the letters were mailed out by XOXO to the participants, as a cherry on top. I am a big believer in journaling as a tool for self-reflection, and I hope that the letters sparked some interesting inner dialogues within for the several hundred participants in this installation.
Installation flow
Participants came to the installation and were instructured to write a letter to their future selves.
2. Writing the letter
Using one of four different illustrated postcards, participants wrote their letter. They could sit on the floor (rugs, cushions), at tables (couch), or at standing tables.
3. Dropping it in a mailbox
Participants then dropped their card in either the private or public mailboxes. Letters in the former mailbox were displayed publicly.
4. Live experience
After finishing their letter-writing, participants could read the other letters in the installation, and also observed me live-painting a mural surrounding this experience.
We designed the space to encourage introspection as well as discovery — filled with cozy couches and cushions, writing tools, and tables set at different heights and cluster formations to accommodate those who wished to socialize as well as those who wanted to quietly reflect on their own.
I wish that photos adequately captured the vibe of the space that was created. Some of the letters were funny and light-hearted, some were serious and touched on deeply personal and vulnerable topics like mental health.
It wasn't an uncommon experience for me to be painting and hear sniffles from the corner — from a participant writing to their future self, or reading another's touching letter. At night, the lights would come on and reflect off of the rose gold threading and clips that suspended the letters in the air— producing a twinkling, ethereal glow in the space.
Unexpressed emotions never die
Justin Yee
When XOXO co-founder Andy Mcmillan initially reached out to me to potentially create a mural for XOXO, I was thrilled. The opportunity came about at a time, however, when I had just undergone a major life change: the break-up. You know that stage right afterwards, when it's as brutally fresh and stinging as it'll ever be? Devastating, dark. Disbelieving, numb and disconnected. That's where I was.
So, creating this mural was an act of healing for me. I had all this dark shit swirling inside: sadness, rage, grief. And I needed to (healthily) express it to move forward. As Freud said: "Unexpressed emotions never die. They are buried alive and come forth later in uglier ways."
Was it real? Was all in my head?
Would it fade, like it was nothing?
Would this come to pass?
Would I ever find love again?
Would he forget me?
I channeled that personal energy into this installation, which at its core, sought to accomplish two things:
1) Give participants the space and channel to express themselves
2) Create bridges of connection within the community
But it also had a third, secret intention:
3) To allow myself the space to cathartically express my feelings and connect with community, so as to create something beautiful and light from a place of darkness.
No matter what, pain is still pain, and must be felt and faced in order to move through it. But I've found that holding that pain, naming it, and transmuting it into something new — shared, from hidden darkness to the light — is one way to process and heal. It doesn't lessen the pain, but it adds sweetness to the burn. Something that tastes like hope, perhaps, for a future self.
Healing through the canvas→ healing in real life.
If you were a part of this installation — whether as an organizer, a participant, or even an observer from afar — thank you. Thank you for being a part and taking the time to self-reflect and connect with yourself. I hope that you find what you're looking for.
XOXO, Alice

7amleh, A Digital Rights Champion
Since 1980, FMEP has supported the work of Israeli, Palestinian, and American civil society organizations striving to achieve peace, defending human rights and the rule of law, and challenging settlements and other Israeli policies that violate international law and undermine any chance for peace. In 2020, FMEP is proud to support the work of 40 such groups doing vitally important, courageous work. This month, we are shining FMEP's spotlight on the work of one of these organizations — 7amleh (pronounced "hamleh"), a Palestinian digital rights champion, ahead of its upcoming Palestinian Digital Activism Forum. We encourage you to read about 7amleh's activities and listen to our podcast with a 7amleh team member, and share them with others who might be interested. And if you are as impressed and inspired by 7amleh, you can use the link at the bottom of the page to donate directly to its work.
7amleh is a Palestinian-led non-profit organization that is focused on protecting the human rights of Palestinians in the online space, including the right to access the internet, right to privacy, and freedom of expression. Through research, advocacy and trainings, 7amleh challenges the policies and practices that criminalize, chill, and limit the ability of Palestinians to take full advantage of the internet, in activities such as online commerce, posting on social media, or organizing for their collective rights. 7amleh works to expose and oppose censorship, digital surveillance, biased content policing, predictive policing, and the failure of governments and tech companies to intervene against online Israeli incitement against Palestinians.
7amleh has taken on policies of the Israeli and Palestinian Authority governments, as well as tech giants like on Facebook, PayPal, and Google, all of which are interefering – in coordination and separately – with the digital rights of Palestinians on social media platforms. Connecting the digital occupation confronting Palestinians to broader global trends and conversations around digital rights, 7amleh has partnered with premiere digital rights groups like Access Now to build intersectional, working relationships to bring more attention and learning to the Palestinian issue.
7amleh also works within Palestinian civil society to educate and equip new digital rights champions on how they can challenge the overlapping powers which are abusing technology to silence, surveil, and criminalize Palestinian activism. In addition to seminars and training, 7amleh convenes an annual Digital Rights Forum to educate new digital activists on their rights and provide ongoing training.
7amleh's 2020 forum is scheduled for March 23-27 in ten locations throughout Palestine/Israel – learn more about that forum here.
In addition, 7amleh produces incisive research on the digital realities in Israel Palestine. A sample of their most impactful publications include:
"Access Denied: E-Commerce in Palestine" (February 2020). This brand-new report investigates how occupation, the failure to fulfill the Oslo Accords, and digital discrimination from international tech companies have stunted the development of the Palestinian economy and created challenges for Palestinian buyers, sellers, and workers online.
"Silenced Net: The Chilling Effect among Palestinian Youth in Social Media" (October 2019).
In this survey and accompanying analysis, 7amleh shows that two-thirds of Palestinian youth are fearful of expressing their opinion online and in fact self-censor. The survey results provide important data on the chilling effect policies enforced against Palestinians by the social media companies like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, as well as the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority.
"Mapping Segregation: Google Maps and the Human Rights of Palestinians" (September 2018)
In this report, 7amleh shows how Google Maps' mapping process is a reflection of Israeli government interests and systematically ignores the existence of Palestinian communities in its presentation of political boundaries and geography of the West Bank.

The Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Ethics has adopted the award winning documentary Encounter Point as the keystone of its 2008 Middle East peace education project.
Thanks to a generous grant from a community supporter, The Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Ethics has recently purchased 200 copies Encounter Point produced by Just Vision. In the film, director Ronit Avni introduces us to dozens of everyday heroes, courageous Israelis and Palestinians working together to make co-existence and reconciliation a reality.
Accompanying the film are well researched, highly structured Community and Classroom Screening Guides with lesson plans designed to underscore the efficacy of nonviolent communication which is at the heart of Encounter Point. The Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Ethics is first in the nation to work with the film and its adjunct curriculum on a city-wide scale. The project entails screening the thought provoking film for spiritual leaders, religious school directors, community activists and educators to show how the healing power of cooperation is indeed possible even in the face of the most tragic personal losses. After viewing the film audiences are inspired by the merit of its message, which is to embrace the preservation of human dignity. It is our goal to assist community leaders in obtaining the film for educational use and to facilitate the implementation of the Encounter Point curriculum into classrooms and civic spaces throughout Southern California. More information about Encounter Point including links to the screening guides for download, can be found at: www.encounterpoint.com.
Encounter Point was first screened for community leaders and activists at Santa Monica City College on November 18, 2007 with over 125 in the audience from UCLA, HUC, Brit Tzedek'v Shalom, Leo Baeck Temple, Malibu Synagogue, Stephen S.Wise Temple, members of the Muslim Public Affairs Council and the Topanga Peace Alliance and others. Many more screenings will be held over the coming year here in the Los Angeles area. Please contact Rebecca Tobias if you would like to arrange a screening for your classroom or community organization.
Around the world, Encounter Point is inspiring audiences to look beyond the mainstream media's portrayal of violence and militancy and inviting us to witness first-hand the untold stories of ordinary people working to build peace from the ground up, circumstance by circumstance.
Southern California audiences will also be given the opportunity to participate in a Wallenberg hosted interfaith dialog web project. The central theme of that dialog will be, "What is the true meaning of the Holy Land to those of your Faith?" As the project evolves and grows, we hope to begin to invite and include others who are screening the film across the globe to introduce and encourage audiences to take part in the on-going online Wallenberg Middle East Peace Dialog. In this way we can build an inter-cultural global interfaith network around the concept of nonviolence and nonviolent resistance using Encounter Point as a catalyst.
Please join us in encouraging the life affirming efforts of those working diligently to foster a just peace in the middle east. Beyond today's seemingly insurmountable conflicts lies a future alive with promise.
See our Encounter Point Links, our Los Angeles Interfaith Links and our Middle East Related Links.


European 800m champion Lynsey Sharp admits the prospect of running out at Hampden Park at this summer's Sainsbury's Glasgow Grand Prix drove her on during her recovery from injury.
Sharp, who took the 800m title at the European Championships in Helsinki two years ago, recently returned to action after spending nine months out with a leg tendon injury.
The 23-year-old missed the entire of the 2013 season but has showed signs she is back on the road to full form with two BMC Grand Prix victories either side of winning the Flanders Cup – Lokeren Grand Prix last month.
And with the Sainsbury's Glasgow Grand Prix from July 11-12 giving her the chance to make her first IAAF Diamond League appearance in nearly two years, Sharp was understandably excited.
A regular to Hampden Park to watch Rangers play football, Sharp admits following in her heroes footsteps at Scotland's national stadium would be a special moment.
"As soon as the Sainsbury's Glasgow Grand Prix was announced, this was the event that I was targeting on my comeback from injury," said Sharp, a semi-finalist at London 2012.
"I've watched Rangers play at the stadium many times, but to be able to step on the track and compete in front of a home crowd is going to be something I'll never forget.
"It's been a long road to recovery, but to have this event to focus on makes all the hours spent rehabbing worth it.


Amblyopia is caused by depriving the eye of good vision during the critical period of vision development during childhood. As a result, the vision of the deprived eye will not develop fully, and subsequently resulting in poor vision even when it is best corrected with lenses (if there's a need).
This is a significant difference of uncorrected Refractive Error (power) between the two eyes from childhood, resulting in the usage of mainly the better and clearer eye. Thereby resulting in a deprivation of visual experience on the other poorer eye in comparison. The ability to perceive good vision does not develop, causing poorer vision in the eye that has a significant higher refractive error later on in life.
Strabismus is a condition whereby one eye is turned away from the direction of the other eye. Both eyes do not look at the same direction. Only one eye is focusing on the object of attention, and the other eye is normally unused for the perception of vision. This results in a deprivation of visual experience if it is a child. Poorer vision results in the strabismic eye, even if the eye turn is surgically corrected.

Grigory Rodchenkov nightmares Russian football
Scandalous defector remembered the concealment of positive doping tests of Russian players in 2014 on the orders of Vitaly Mutko. What for the Russian masters of the ball also doping, remains unclear.
Informant of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Grigory Rodchenkov made new "exposures" regarding the use of doping in Russian sports. This time, Mr. Rodchenkov, whose testimonies are quoted in the next film of the notorious journalist Hayo Zeppelta, aimed at football. According to the former head of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory, who was hiding in the United States, in 2014 he was ordered to hide all the positive results of Russian football players. According to him, the order Gregory Rodchenkov received from Vitaly Mutko fulfilled.
Scandalously famous journalist Hayo Zeppelt released another film on the subject of Russian doping. The central figure of the film "Football Friends of Russia", shown by the ARD television channel, was Grigory Rodchenkov, a WADA informant hiding in the United States. This time, the ex-head of the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory, whose statements were already expensive for Russian sports, aimed at football, which is not surprising, given that the world championship starts in mid-June.
According to Grigory Rodchenkov, in 2014 the Moscow Anti-Doping Laboratory received from Vitaly Mutko, at that time the Minister of Sport of the Russian Federation, an order not to give a course to the cases in which Russian players were involved. Grigory Rodchenkov explained that it was about concealing the facts of the use of illegal drugs by all players of Russian clubs, regardless of the division in which they performed.
"I received an order from Mutko that we do not need positive results in testing in football," said Grigory Rodchenkov. "Do not touch football, okay?" He told me. He was my boss, and I followed the order. " In ARD they also added that they have a certain document, in which the numbers of samples taken from the players are compared with their names. Note that the samples must be impersonal, and the leakage of data about who they belong to is a gross violation and compromises the anti-doping authorities. In this case, the Moscow laboratory.
Note that Russian players have already fallen into the number of suspects in violation of anti-doping rules (although no names were called). As early as the end of last year, WADA handed over to the International Football Federation data relating to the trials of one and a half hundred Russian players. However, the development of history has not yet received - according to the official version, FIFA is checking.

Arizona requires your corporation to notify the public of its formation by publishing its articles of incorporation for 3 consecutive publications in a newspaper of general circulation in the same county as your business's "Known Place of Business" in Arizona. Failure to publish can lead to administrative dissolution of your corporation. That's a bad thing.
After the publication is complete, the newspaper will send you an Affidavit of Publication, which shows the publication requirement has been met. We recommend you keep it with your other important company documents in your compliance kit.
Note: The publication requirement will be waived if your "Known Place of Business" is located in Maricopa County or Pima County. Instead, the Arizona Corporation Commission will publish the notice of your business formation on their website.
Arizona will require your LLC to notify the public of its formation by publishing its articles of organization for 3 consecutive publications in a newspaper of general circulation in the same county as your business's "Known Place of Business" in Arizona. Failure to publish can lead to administrative dissolution of your LLC. That's a bad thing.
The newspaper will send you an Affidavit of Publication as proof that the publication requirement has been met. You should keep it with your other important company documents in your compliance kit.
Note: Entities formed in even years must file in even years/Entities formed in odd years must file in odd years.
Note: Entities formed in even years will always file in even years/Entities formed in odd years will always file in odd years.
Note: First report isn't due until the year after your formation date.
Georgia will require your corporation to notify the public of its formation by publishing a notice of intent to incorporate in a newspaper which is the official legal organ of the county where your registered agent's office will be located. The notice should be published once a week for two consecutive weeks and it should contain the name of the corporation, the name of the registered agent and the address of the registered office in Georgia.
New York will require your LLC to notify the public of its formation by publishing a notice once a week for six successive weeks in two newspapers in the county where your LLC's office is located. One newspaper must be printed daily and the other printed weekly. Publication costs vary widely by county/newspaper and may exceed $1,000. Once publication is complete, the newspapers will send you Affidavits of Publication which will need to be filed with a Certificate of Publication at the Department of State.
Pennsylvania will require your corporation to notify the public of its formation by publishing a notice of incorporation, or intent to incorporate, in two newspapers of general circulation (including a legal journal, if possible) in the county where your place of business will be located. The publication must include the proposed name of the corporation and a statement that the corporation will be or has been incorporated under the provisions of the Business Corporation Law of 1988.
The newspaper will send you an Affidavit of Publication as proof that the publication requirement has been met. The state will not accept any proof of publication and instead requires that you keep it with your minutes and other important company documents.


BugE - More than a bike, less than a car: Water Bug!
It's been raining quite a bit. So, I again decided to see how the BugE would do. It is very convenient!
The Good. The cowl protects against windchill and rain REALLY WELL on rainy days. Much better than it's shape would suggest. I have not needed gloves nor chaps. Just wearing a sensible coat allows me to arrive warm and dry - even in 35 degree rainy weather! The front brakes work BETTER in the rain. That was handy for two panic stops I did! As for visibility, the "road film" on a car windshields does not seem to be forming on the BugE canopy. A bird did poo on it. However some water/vinegar mix and a microfiber cloth removed it off just fine! On a rainy day, I just take the BugE out of the cycle shelter, unplug it, put on helmet, get in and go! (note, if unplugging in rain, outlet should be GFI) Also, now that people in town have seen it in action, I don't get stopped as often by people with questions.
The Bad. I unfortunately when I constructed it, I didn't seal the cargo area well enough so rain collected in the cargo area. For now, I just drilled a hole in the bottom to let the water flow out but I'll be putting a better seal around the door. Also, the foot well is collecting water from my wet shoes however two small drain holes can take care of that. Also, I've noticed potholes around town are quite large so I need to pay attention to road conditions much more than I would in a 4-wheel car.
The Ugly. Today, I used the BugE for three round trips downtown at rather slow speed (15-20mph). Each round trip was around two miles each (although, I will say, these trips DO have some hills which may be why range seems so low). I did opportunity charge at home, but apparently not enough. On the last leg of the 3rd trip, the needle again went completely limp when my throttle was applied going up the final hill. So, this time, I pulled over and waited a few minutes. The pack recovered enough to make the hill and get me home again. I later found that I hadn't left home with a full charge since it was set to trickle charge mode instead of full charge.
Originally, I charged with a 48V external charger. However, it was dropped one too many times so it doesn't work. So, I'm now charging with an automotive 12V charger and relying on the powercheq modules to even out the charging. I'll eventually be installing 4 individual low profile 2A-12V on board chargers instead of one big charger. Now I know the terrain limits around my area, I should be able to drive without running into range problems.


A view of Cowglen on the Pollok Estate showing trees and a large puddle, photographed by Duncan Brown.
This photograph was probably taken on the morning of Saturday 28 September 1861 to show one of the locations being used for the sham-fight later that day. The sham-fight was organised by the Volunteers of Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire to demonstrate the military competence of the newly raised forces. An audience of several thousand attended to watch the spectacle. Pollok Golf Course was subsequently laid out on the land.

Parental Alienation or Runaway Sisters?: "Help Me Find My Teen Daughters"
Jan 26, 2015 on Syndicated at 4:00 PM
Brian says he has been living a parent's worst nightmare since last July, when his teenage daughters, Sydney, 15, and Danielle, 14, vanished while visiting their mother, Michelle, for the summer. Two weeks later, Michelle also disappeared, and Brian,... (more) who has full legal custody of the girls, says he believes his ex-wife is hiding them. But Brian's oldest daughter, Brittany, 19, says she believes the girls ran away so they wouldn't have to live with Brian, who she claims is overbearing, controlling and abusive -- accusations Brian firmly denies. Dr. Phil brings this father and daughter together for the first time in almost a year in search of answers. Plus, hear from Michelle's brother, Troy, who says he has twice received videos of Sydney and Danielle. Does he have any idea where they -- or Michelle -- might be? And, see a brand-new video of the girls specifically addressing Dr. Phil. What do they say about the situation? Can Dr. Phil help get to the bottom of this mystery?

Code signing certificates for sale. Impact of cybercrime on the world economy. Reaper out from under Lazarus's shadow. Catphishing. Cyber intelligence against terror. Ransomware and other hacks.
Dave Bittner: [00:00:00:19] A quick program note, I am the guest on this week's Smashing Security podcast. So when you're finished listening to today's CyberWire head on over to smashingsecurity.com and check it out.
Dave Bittner: [00:00:14:06] Counterfeit certificates are on sale in criminal markets. Cybercrime is said to cause $600 billion globally every year. Russia objects to being called a back actor in cyberspace. North Korea's Reaper threat actor steps out from the shadow of its big brother, the Lazarus Group. Catphish from Lebanon spread spyware through Facebook. Israel says it gave Australia a cyber assist against Isis terror last summer. Ransomware notes, Harper's was hacked and so was Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Dave Bittner: [00:00:49:23] Now a moment to tell you about our sponsor ThreatConnect. They've teamed up with DomainTools for a webinar on mapping connected infrastructure. As you know, the more information you have about a potential threat, the better you can defend against it. And in order to stay ahead of malicious actors it is crucial that security teams add context and enrichment through their threat data. The combination of the ThreatConnect threat intelligence platform and DomainTools Iris investigative platform, empowers security professionals to hunt APT's efficiently and effectively.
Dave Bittner: [00:01:21:15] Watch Director of product integrations at DomainTools, Mark Kendrick, and threat intelligence researcher at ThreatConnect, Kyle Ehmke, as they explain how the same techniques can help network defenders and incident responders efficiently protect their own organizations. In addition, get an inside view into how ThreatConnect and DomainTools work together to enable thorough domain actor and IP investigations. You can check it out today at threatconnect.com/webinar. We thank ThreatConnect for sponsoring our show.
Dave Bittner: [00:02:05:18] Major funding for the CyberWire podcast is provided by Cylance. I'm Dave Bittner with your CyberWire summary for Thursday, February 22nd, 2018.
Dave Bittner: [00:02:15:10] Researchers at threat intelligence firm, Recorded Future investigated a spike in the use of certificates to enable malware infections. Their researchers found that contrary to general opinion, the certificates so used weren't, in general, stolen. Instead they're counterfeited and registered using stolen corporate identities. As their report puts it, "Contrary to a common belief that the security certificates circulated in the criminal underground are stolen from the legitimate owners prior to being used in nefarious campaigns, we confirmed with a high degree of certainty that the certificates are created for a specific buyer per request only and are registered using stolen corporate identities, making traditional network security appliances less effective."
Dave Bittner: [00:02:59:23] Code-signing certificates are used to verify that code has been written by a particular author, the certificate holder, and that the code hasn't been altered or tampered with. The certificate includes a cryptographic hash that validates the signed code's authenticity and integrity. Certificates served up by malware do more than the obvious damage of helping the malware establish itself in victim systems. They tend to make deep packet inspection on infected systems less effective.
Dave Bittner: [00:03:29:04] The criminals don't appear to be making a killing in this particular black market, so certificate sales appear likely to remain a boutique niche for criminals. Nation-states are a different matter. They'll probably see considerable advantage to using fake code signing and SSL certificates in their highly targeted operations.
Dave Bittner: [00:03:49:23] Russian diplomats denounce British attribution of NotPetya to Russian security services. They also denounce American contentions that Russia is a safe haven for cyber criminals, in large part because of a cozy relationship between those security services and organized cyber gangs. The common theme comes down to a complaint that there's no evidence. No Western intelligence service, Russia says, has offered any proof that Russia is a bad actor in cyberspace. To strengthen his accusation of American bad faith, Petr Svirin, First Secretary of the Russian Embassy in Washington, asks why, if the Americans are so concerned about cybercrime, they have turned down all of Moscow's efforts to get some cooperation in crime fighting.
Dave Bittner: [00:04:35:04] First Secretary Svirin's complaint came at a DC event yesterday, covered by CyberScoop, in which security firm McAfee and the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank, presented the results of their joint study of the economic impact of cybercrime. They see that impact rising. They say, it's now up to $600 billion worldwide annually, up 100 billion since a similar study in 2014. Discouragingly, they also conclude that whether countries spend a lot or a little on security against cybercrime, they wind up with similar outcomes. And yes, the study does call out Russia. In fact it calls out several centers of cybercrime: Brazil, India, and Vietnam, where the issues aren't so much state policy as they are the lawlessness of an entrenched and technically capable criminal subculture. North Korea is a different matter. There the government itself arranges the crime, and has the state security and intelligence apparatus commit it directly.
Dave Bittner: [00:05:35:18] And, of course, there's the interesting case of Russia. The contention that so angered Mr. Svirin is that the Russian security services, notably the FSB and the GRU, connive with cyber mobs and permit them to hit the right targets. Right, of course, from the point of view of the Russian government. The organization is like a reverse protection racket. Nice little ransomware program you got there, shame if something happened to it. Of course, if you'd like to take out a Ukrainian power utility, well all might be overlooked.
Dave Bittner: [00:06:07:06] With so many security products out there, it can be a challenge to comparison shop and evaluate what might be the best fit for your organization. Virus Bulletin is an organization that's been in the security software testing business for over two decades, giving them a unique view of the industry. I checked with Martijn Grooten, the editor of Virus Bulletin for his perspective.
Martijn Grooten: [00:06:29:04] I think the major change we've seen, and it's a very subtle one, but I think over the past decade or two decades, anti virus has changed from software that hardens your PC or your device to software that protects you against things you shouldn't do, like download things off the Internet that are dangerous or open, sort of email attachments that enable macros. The current operating systems are a lot more secure than they were a few years ago, and if you are someone like quite a few security professionals, if you're someone who knows that they should and shouldn't do and really trust yourself not to accidentally click on things, you're probably okay without anti-virus. It's just that 99% of the people are not like that and nor should we expect them to.
Martijn Grooten: [00:07:13:00] So I think that's a major change. I think in the early days there were these mass viruses that spread and everyone really needed antivirus to protect against them. These days it's more subtle but it's still very important.
Dave Bittner: [00:07:24:15] As you look across the landscape of the various products that are offered, do you feel like we've hit a point where most of them offer a good value, there maybe differences between them, but if you get one of the big name ones, you're probably going to be in good shape?
Martijn Grooten: [00:07:37:17] I would say so, yes. Unfortunately it depends how you use it, how you set it up, what kind of threat you're facing. I mean they typically are better at protecting you against mass malware than against very targeted. That's not to say that their powerless against very targeted attacks, but I wouldn't just focus on the big names. I mean there are a lot of smaller names that are doing an equally good job, sometimes for half the price of a big name, or less. The product landscape is quite varied but overall products are doing a pretty decent job, and much better than they often get credit for.
Dave Bittner: [00:08:10:05] And as operating systems have gotten more sophisticated and the attacks have gotten more sophisticated, how have you had to adapt your testing procedures?
Martijn Grooten: [00:08:18:20] An anti virus product has many different layers and to test it you need to be more clear about which layers you test. In the past it was all about whether the product is able to protect this virus or not. And these days there are so many different layers, and you need to focus on specific layers or on several layers at once, and depending on what you do and depending on what the purpose of your test is, you get different results. You have to be more careful about the kind of claims you make. I'm always very hesitant about us, or the testers making very, big claims about, the product's detect this, or all products missed this. Things are a lot more subtle in practice.
Dave Bittner: [00:08:57:22] What advice do you have for people who are trying to shop around to decide which product is best for them?
Martijn Grooten: [00:09:04:10] I think the general advice at first is always try to see what kind of threats are you concerned about. Which kinds of threats does your organization face? What kind of threats are you prepared to defend against? Maybe you're a small business, and maybe you are worried out an advanced attacker from overseas who maybe very skilled and have a lot of money to spend on attacking you, but maybe you decided that's a risk worth taking. Hopefully, or even more likely, you'll decide that actually this is not something you should worry about.
Martijn Grooten: [00:09:34:17] I've seen a trend among security professionals working in not the security industry - people working in the real world, so to say - get overly worried about all the fear mongering going on in security, the things that we say, almost trying to overprotect themselves - buying solutions that look very nice but maybe offer only a tiny bit of extra protection that is just not worth for the kind of organization you have. At the same time if you are an organization in special fields, or you're very big organization, then you need to be aware that what works for a small company but works for an average home user is not good enough for you.
Dave Bittner: [00:10:08:21] That's Martijn Grooten from Virus Bulletin.
Dave Bittner: [00:10:13:12] More spyware has been found being distributed by Facebook catphish. Winsome profiles of fictional people named Rita, Alona - yes, Alona, who would no doubt have suggested she no longer wants to be a loner - and Christina were seeking contacts whom they would infect with spyware. The campaign, which seems to have originated in Lebanon, was discovered and described by Prague-based security firm Avast. If you wanted to connect with Rita, Alona, or Christina, you're too late, their profiles are all gone from Facebook, probably enjoying a digital afterlife somewhere in the company of Robin Sage.
Dave Bittner: [00:10:52:02] Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu this week credits his country's Unit 8200 with detecting an ISIS plot last year to destroy an airliner, and with tipping off Australian security authorities in time to stop the bombers. Two men were arrested, the plane wasn't bombed.
Dave Bittner: [00:11:09:17] A paper in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology describes increased hacker interest in implantable medical devices. The probability of attacks against devices like pacemakers may be rising.
Dave Bittner: [00:11:23:02] Colorado's Department of Transportation is struggling with a large SamSam ransomware infestation, according to the anti-phishing specialists at KnowBe4. SamSam is financially motivated, but other ransomware strains aren't. Annabelle ransomware, for one, seems motivated by the lulz, and the desire to show off. MalwareHunterTeam is tracking it. The good news, reported by Bleeping Computer, is that Annabelle is a variant of Stupid Ransomware, that's a proper name by the way, not a description, and can be removed with an updated StupidDecryptor. Bravo to Mr. Michael Gillespie, proprietor of the StupidDecryptor.
Dave Bittner: [00:12:02:07] Two other incidents are worth mentioning. Harper's, the venerable American journal of opinion, has warned subscribers that their passwords may have been stolen. And, in a municipal hack, the Rust Belt gets a cyber wire brushing. The city of Allentown, Pennsylvania, is struggling with a major Emotet infestation. The self-propagating, credential-stealing malware has disabled the city's financial department, no more external banking transactions, knocked out all the city's 185 public safety surveillance cameras, and is keeping the Allentown Police Department from accessing Pennsylvania State Police databases. According to the Allentown Morning Call, the virus hit last week. The city thinks the initial infection vector was a phishing email. Remediation is expected to cost between $800 and $900.
Dave Bittner: [00:12:56:22] Now a few words about our sponsors at E8 Security. If you've been to any security conference over the past year you've surely heard a lot about artificial intelligence and machine learning. We know we have. But E8 would like you to know that these aren't just buzzwords - they're real technologies and they can help you derive meaning from what an overwhelmed human analyst would see as impossible flood of data. Go to e8security.com/cyberwire and let their White Paper guide you through the possibilities of these indispensable, emerging technological tools.
Dave Bittner: [00:13:28:11] Remember the buzz around artificial intelligence isn't about replacing humans. It's really about machine learning - a technology that's here today. So see what E8 has to say about it. And they promise you won't get a sales call from a robot. Learn more at e8security.com/cyberwire. Follow the behavior, find the threat. We thank E8 security for sponsoring our show.
Dave Bittner: [00:14:01:09] It's my pleasure to welcome back to the show, Professor Awais Rashid, he's a professor of cybersecurity at the University of Bristol. Awais, welcome back. We wanted to touch on educational issues today, specifically what cybersecurity professionals should be learning in your estimation? What can you share with us about that?
Professor Awais Rashid: [00:14:19:22] Thank you for having me back. I think the key thing that we need to bear I mind is that cybersecurity is becoming an increasingly complex issue. One of the big problems is the focus that we tend to have is very much stemmed from the mindset that there is a single device that is being attacked and being used. Of course, we teach people about security of networks and all those kinds of issues, but really we need to be thinking beyond that. We are moving towards very highly connected infrastructure. We are not talking about a device, small number of devices, a network that is often under the control of a single organization potentially - we are really talking about thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of devices interacting with each other, interacting with the users, new devices coming into that environment, and that is a very complex landscape.
Professor Awais Rashid: [00:15:12:18] At the moment we are not focusing enough, in terms of what the future problems are. We still very much tend to be very reactive, which is important, we want to teach about what are the problems of today, or the immediate future, and solve them. But ultimately, as we connect our infrastructure more and more, these issues are going to become very, very pertinent, and we also need to think about what we should be teaching professionals in terms of how to protect infrastructure of the future.
Dave Bittner: [00:15:40:13] So in terms of someone who is a student who's looking to set out their road map of the classes they want to take and the things they want to study, what suggestions do you have?
Professor Awais Rashid: [00:15:51:13] Well I have of course a little bit of a biased view at the moment, in the sense that I lead a project called the Cyber Security Body of Knowledge Project. Anyone who is interested can actually go and look at www.cyber.org and there is a detailed document which has been built through a consultation with stakeholders in academia industry, as to what are the key knowledge areas that people need to know about. There are a total of 19 knowledge areas divided into five categories. We highlight things like infrastructure security, of course, software and platform security, system security, but very importantly also understanding attacks and defenses, and human organizational and regulatory aspects.
Professor Awais Rashid: [00:16:36:02] The fact of the matter is that none of these things exist in isolation. All of these interplay in complex ways, in the complex infrastructures that we are increasingly developing and will continue to develop in the future. Not everyone will be an expert in everything, but it's important that when people become experts in a particular aspect of security, we are still cognizant of the fact that all these other factors influence what happens, so that they can look at the big picture rather than just only a very narrow part of it.
Dave Bittner: [00:17:05:07] Professor Awais Rashid, thanks for joining us. The Cyber Security Body of Knowledge is at cybok.org.

THE new monthly Frome Super Market is back on Sunday and organisers are hoping thousands of shoppers will turn out to support local traders.
The town centre will once again be closed off with the high street being transformed into an open-air shopping spectacle, made up of more than 150 independent traders.
Their stalls will line the breadth of the town – starting at the top of Catherine Hill and running down onto the Market Cross area, along the precinct and over the bridge, onto the Market Yard car park.
A wide range of artisan-produced food will be on sale – including freshly-made bread, pastries, cheese, pies and coffee. Visitors can also expect handmade jewellery, illustrations and prints, plus other textiles and ceramics.
Street entertainers will attempt to keep the crowds smiling come run or shine and the town council is providing free parking in all pay and display car parks (excluding the South Parade Car Park).
Peter Wheelhouse, Frome Town Council's newly appointed Economic Development and Regeneration Manager, said: "The idea of the Super Market is to make the whole town a market.
The success of these events is gaining wide appeal and this Sunday will see the return of a visiting vintage market from Bristol, plus designers from London's Spitalfields 'Designers/Makers' market.
"There are canopies on all stalls to ensure the unpredictable British summer doesn't dampen shoppers' spirits.
Frome Town Council worked with local film production company Doubleshot to produce a short online film, showcasing the new Super Market. This is available to watch at fromesupermarket.co.uk.
The event caught the attention of BBC Somerset last week, when it broadcast a story about how the town was fighting off the effects of the credit crunch through the Frome Super Market.
Frome Super Market's new film was also picked up on Twitter by retail expert Mary Portas who commented publicly: "Brilliant. Take note Town Teams".
Frome businessman Gavin Eddy is the founder of the Artisan Market.
He said: "By using its super market powers, Frome businesses and shoppers are helping the town to protect itself from the economic turmoil that continues to cloak the rest of the country.
"It is bringing people together, showcasing the town's businesses and boosting the local enemy.
"Admittedly the road closure is adding five minutes to a car journey around Frome, but the Super Market is adding months of trading life to businesses and stall holders – and Frome needs this.
"Of course the event is still in its infancy and we're trying to take on board all suggestions and feedback from the community to improve it for everyone.
The Frome Super Market is a new joint venture between Frome Town Council, Mendip District Council's Frome People's Market, the St Catherine's Artisan Market, Frome Flea and Somerset Farmers' Market.

If you watch the 6 o'clock news day-to-day as I used to, it's hard not to become disassociated with events that aren't happening on your front lawn. During the Taliban's rule in Afghanistan, photography was illegal and little-to-no information surfaced from this seemingly dark space. For all its pitfalls, the U.S war on terror opened a door for many Afghan artists looking to document their lives. Frame By Frame follows the rise of photography in Afghanistan, offering a powerful journey through this relatively new renaissance; but most importantly, it offers very human stories from a place too easily forgotten.
Frame by Frame takes focus on four photographers, Massoud Hossaini, Farzana Wahidy, Najibullah Musafer, and Wakil Kohsar. Each photographer stands at a different point in their careers and lives, ranging from the Pulitzer Prize winning Hossaini to Musafer who teaches photography in Kabul. The subjects of the documentary are all linked, Massoud and Wahidy are married and share work with one another. Musafer taught photography to all three and Kohsar remains as a working colleague to Hossaini. The interactions between the key photographers are pivotal to the film, creating the appearance of a real movement taking place.
Although the film attempts to offer balance to those portrayed, the real heroes of the documentary are undoubtedly Massoud Hossaini and Farzana Wahidy. Hossaini rose to prominence through his close encounter action photography, most notably winning the Pulitzer for breaking news photography in 2012. Wahidy has won a slew of awards, but stands out due to her ability to take provocative photos of Afghan women, a task made difficult due to the countries conservatism. A highlight of the film involves Wahidy visiting a hospital in Herat, investigating self-immolation among women. Having gone through multiple roadblocks, eventually the hospital shuts off access to the subjects Wahidy wishes to photograph. The revolution comes when a previous patient is tracked down and interviewed, it is then made apparent that self-immolation is a ruse used to cover for husbands setting light to their wives. An emotional pinnacle for the film, we see Wahidy in full power as an empathetic reporter and photographer.
Frame by Frame tackles the larger social issues in Afghanistan, but doesn't shy away from examining the day-to-day. Wakil Kohsar shines in this film due to his relation with the everyday life of the Afghan people. A good portion of his screen time focuses on the problems usually shut out from the rest of the world: a family member who has given up on a fair democracy, drug addiction in central Kabul, and the unease found in social events. These close interactions with the people of Afghanistan brings a human element back to a country that is too often stripped of its humanity. Often the day-to-day moments will turn inwards - Kohsar is seen in prayer and speaks to family throughout - creating calm moments in the film and finding real beauty through the vulnerability of the person.
With the U.S withdrawing most of its troops, a fear is shared amongst the photographers of Frame By Frame. To lose a passion would be devastating, but with 2014 being one of the most dangerous years in Afghan history for journalists, a bigger fear is that they may lose their lives. Still, through this fear, all remain resilient and never waver in their desire to bring the human side of Afghan life back to the world.
