"What I felt in her ability to sense where in the spiritual, emotional, physical body attention needed to be directed for healing to happen was impeccable. I've never seen or felt anything like it."
-Naia Kete
"I cannot even begin to describe how different I am today and how different my life is today. I have shifted my work, my career, the way that I treat my body, and the way that I express myself. I didn't know that it was possible to love at this depth."
-Erica Dean
"Throughout every container that she has held me through, she has always seen who I was at my next edge before I could see myself. It wasn't about teaching us something to go through. It's about what is on the other side."
-Adeenah Hammer
"This container has given me more support than I've ever had throughout my lifetime. She taught me that as long as it takes, to be patient with myself and that's something that I'll carry through this lifetime and the next."
-April Rodriguez
"I had been able to access this pain that I've had with me for lifetimes and she touched it. And when she touched it, it hurt more but it was okay because I was held. I was held by her and the incredible women she attracts."
"The space that Zahara held in there for us, it was electric, and deep, and potent, and magical. I get to let this part of me that's been silenced for 25 years speak, and sing, and sob, and sweat. It was terrifying but also so liberating."
-Devon Dennis
"I felt like I shifted more in the last few months than I have in years of my life. I can say without a doubt that Zahara is the most authentic channel I have ever been able to learn from. She is the frequency of authenticity, truth and spirit."
-Dorian
"What Zahara has given me is permission to not only trust her but trust myself in that. I've received a sisterhood I didn't know was possible and in that process, I've also been able to heal the way that I relate to women and to trust that I can be received by women who see me."
-Vicki Lau
"I have not done much work with mentors, teachers, or orgrop experiences. I had walked myself through a lot of fires and when Zahara jumped out at me through the ether, there was a soul recognition that I needed to be in her sphere."
Last night was so beyond anything I could imagine. I woke up this morning with the feeling of desiring to live, of being in love. And, this is rare for me. Yet, I know that what I was feeling this morning is TRUTH. It is my essence, blooming from the pleasure of meeting itself in the dojo. Thank you for being the Cosmic Catalyst that you are. My life is transforming into its butterfly state thanks to you.
During the ceremony, I had the privilege of watching truly powerful women work. No questions needed - no hesitation. They knew exactly what to do and communication was done through heart space. It was like watching bees work in a hive; everyone knows what their job is, has just enough space to do it and everyone supports one another. There was a woman who asked to be seen. In seconds, these incredible women...
Julia Kristoff
I've always had this fear of being seen, received and held by a community and tribe. Last night, I was given an opportunity to dive head first into the unknown, called forward into liberation and witnessed by powerful queens to intentionally move past my edges. Calling forward all that I AM. I felt for the first time that I actually belonged. My heart literally cracked open in a way I've never felt as reflections of truth and love were showering me...

"The Friend" Explores The Depth Of Grief
By Andy Killebrew 10 months ago
The Friend by Sigrid Nunez, winner of the 2018 National Book Award, is an elegiac, probing and unapologetic masterpiece of modern fiction. Nunez's eighth book, The Friend, is primarily a story about the attempts of a writer to deal with the sudden death of her longtime friend and writing mentor, complicated by the presence of his estranged Great Dane Apollo (the narrator remains unnamed). Aside from Apollo's immediate threat to the protagonist's tenure in her rent-stabilized New York City apartment, the narrator is also forced to care for an animal caught in the throes of mourning. As the novel moves along, the unlikely pair come to rely on each other more and more for their respective wellbeing. The two are forced to brave a world suddenly absent of their shared best friend and retreat into each other for consolation in their shared books (she reads aloud to Apollo, believing it soothes him) and walks.
The prose of The Friend is remarkable in its sparsity, poetic in its ambition. The novel only spans 200 pages, made even shorter by the ample space between paragraphs and page breaks between chapters. These absences let the writing breathe, giving the reader ample opportunity to reflect on the abundance of life within each paragraph. The Friend eschews traditional novel expectations at every turn, alternating between memoir and letter, fiction and nonfiction (one of Nunez's friends passed during the writing of The Friend, leaving the irresistible temptation to read the novel as Nunez's personal account of grief). It's hard to pin the novel into any box, and its individuality yields it an undeniable sense of truth and authority. Nunez's prowess as an author is present at every period, every word; she is an accomplished writer who is entirely in control of her narrative toolbox.
Though the majority of The Friend is focused on the relationship between dog and master during trying times, the novel also devotes significant attention to the current state of the literary world. Nunez says writing appealed to her because it was "something that she could do alone," and this perspective comes through with the book's unabashed cynicism regarding the field. She pulls no punches in attacking writers and the publishing industry at large, even going so far as to compare writers to vampires. It's interesting to see how Nunez puts these thoughts into dialogue with the canine-human relationship that occupies most of the book, and both subjects are handled with grace and wit.
While The Friend is difficult to distill into a brief review, it is a revelatory literary experience for any lover of fiction, writing or dogs. It's the sort of read that lingers with you even after the last word; it's hard to keep either Apollo or his new, grieving master out of mind. Nunez has long been a hidden gem within the literary world and her break into relevance is a gift for any reader. The Friend is an absolute must-read for its scope, power and beauty.

RestorationART presents Ronald K. Brown/Evidence, A Dance Company in A Retrospective Concert, September 22-24 at the Billie Holiday Theatre
Opening Night Features Brown in Conversation with Dance Legend, Judith Jamison
In the year 1966, Robert F. Kennedy visited Bedford Stuyvesant and, with community activists, envisioned Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation; Judith Jamison completed her inaugural year with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater; and Ronald K. Brown was born in the place he still calls home, Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.
For a limited weekend engagement, September 22 – 24, 2017, these three occurrences converge five decades later, as the cultural centerpiece of Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation, RestorationART presents Ronald K. Brown/Evidence, A Dance Company in a full-length concert for the first time at The Billie Holiday Theatre, launched with a conversation between Brown and dance legend and mentor to Brown, Judith Jamison.
"Brown and Jamison – from two different generations – embody the essence of 'blood memory,' as renowned choreographer Alvin Ailey called it; a remembering, a re-conjuring of a past that one may not remember cognitively, but may viscerally recall," stated Dr. Indira Etwaroo, Executive Director, RestorationART.
"Evidence at The Billie Holiday Theatre and a conversation with Judith Jamison who passed Ronald the torch of dancing both spirit and revolution are historic cultural moments. The sounds, the rhythms, the rich cultural history of this community…Ronald K. Brown will bring our lives, our stories home to us."
Ronald K. Brown/Evidence: A Retrospective Concert | Program & Ticket Information
Friday, Sep 22, 2017 from 7PM – 9 PM (Tickets: $50)
Opening Night Concert and Conversation, followed by a post-concert reception
This historic conversation between two dance greats – Ronald K. Brown and Judith Jamison – explores the legacy of choreographic works shaped by the Civil Rights Movement to works being created now in the era of Black Lives Matter. This conversation is followed by an evening-length dance concert by Ronald K. Brown/Evidence, A Dance Company. Evidence will present excerpts from High Life, inspired by the work of Jacob Lawrence's The Great Migration, as well as Jesse B. Semple. The score for the work includes Bid Em In by Oscar Brown Jr, as well as music by the JB's, Nikki Giovanni, Fela Anikalapo Kuit and Wunmi. The program will also include two solos with music by Donny Hathaway and the Lalah Hathaway.

Ronald K. Brown/Evidence, A Dance Company
Founded by Ronald K. Brown in 1985 and based at RestorationART in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, Evidence, A Dance Company focuses on the seamless integration of traditional African dance with  contemporary choreography and spoken word. Through work, Evidence provides a unique view of human struggles, tragedies, and triumphs. Brown uses movement as a way to reinforce the importance of community in African American culture and to acquaint audiences with the beauty of traditional African forms and rhythms. He is an advocate for the growth of the African American dance community and is instrumental in encouraging young dancers to choreograph and to develop careers in dance. Evidence brings arts education and cultural connections to local communities that have historically lacked these experiences.
Ronald K. Brown/Evidence, A Dance Company is a proud partner in RestorationART's artistic coalition of leading producing residents working together to ensure the sustainability of arts institutions devoted to the stories of people of African descent. In addition to Ronald K. Brown/Evidence, A Dance Company, the producing residents include The Billie Holiday Theatre, Frank Silvera Writers' Workshop and ChoreoQuest.
Ronald K. Brown, considered one of the great choreographers of our time, shares with Our Time Press next week the range of influences in his life, including mentors, locations and experiences, that has informed his spirituality, his creativity and his ethic. The Los Angeles Times, in 2016, said "when atrocities in the name of religion dominate world news, choreographer Ronald K. Brown reminds audiences how faith can unite us, heal us and help us get through the worst that life and human nature can inflict. For more than 30 years his New York-based Evidence company has used a sophisticated amalgam of Afrocentric movement and modern dance to make spirituality not merely a passive state but something vibrant and transformative." Evidence of those words comes alive on stage at The Billie, the weekend of September 22-24. Visit www.RestorationART.org.

🇺🇸 USD – The Dollar is nursing a hangover this morning after experiencing a day to forget yesterday as increasing speculation that the Federal Reserve is looking to take a pause from its steady rate hike cycle in 2019 saw it weaken off. This is after the Wall Street Journal reported last night that while a rate hike in December was still on the cards, the state of the US economy would be the main driver of any further interest rate increase as the Fed was looking to take a 'wait and see' approach. Luckily we don't have long to wait as today sees the release of November US non-farm payrolls, unemployment and wage data with expectations that we will see strong data across the board which is likely to help prop up the dollar. This could also help abate the concerns around the fall in US Treasury Yields. As a reminder, investors are always on the hunt for yield – but if US Treasuries aren't providing as much as they like, they are likely to invest in other non-Dollar denominated assets. This causes the Dollar to weaken as demand for it falls. Linked to this, an inversion in the yield curve is a leading economic indicator for a sharp economic slowdown down the line; history tells us this normally happens one to two years following an inversion – so another reason for markets to be cautious. That being said, these fears aren't limited to just the US as concerns over global growth are on the up. As a result, some safe-haven demand for the greenback has helped to keep any larger dollar weakness at bay; at present, the OECD estimates that global growth with slow from 3.7 per cent to 3.5 per cent this year.
🇬🇧 GBP – Sterling fell off slightly this morning as it heads for a fourth consecutive week of losses as Theresa May looks to press ahead with the all-important Parliamentary vote set to take place next Tuesday. This is despite concerns that a large loss may well topple her government. As the odds remain stacked against her, it would appear that the PM is getting more and more desperate as time ticks down towards the 11th December. The latest update out this morning indicates that yesterday, the government sought to find a compromise to win over rebels by offering a Tory backbench amendment that would offer MPs more of a say on the Northern Ireland backstop. Unfortunately, this appears to be a case of 'too little, too late' for MP's as DUP leader Arlene Foster dismissed the PM's offer as 'legislative tinkering.' In terms of the rates, Sterling had a better day yesterday as it was propped up by the Dollar weakness mentioned above – but this morning we have seen it move back down towards the lower end of its range. As a reminder – it hit an 18-month low of $1.2659 against the Dollar on Wednesday as volatility increases as we approach the big vote in Parliament. Interestingly, there had been some talk of a delay in the vote to allow May to convince more MP's to support her, but this has since been quashed. We expect Brexit headlines over the weekend to dictate Sterling's fate come Monday morning.
🇪🇺 EUR – This morning it seems prudent to focus on Germany given that Europe's largest economy's struggles showed no sign of ending as this morning's Industrial production numbers dropped by 0.5% MoM in October from a 0.1% drop in September as German industry remains flat. The main cause for this was a fall in the production of consumer goods. This is after a summer in which the German industry experienced severe production delays in the automotive industry as concerns around the German economy have remained prevalent in the second half of 2018. As the months have gone on, it has been increasingly difficult to defend the continued stream of poor German economic data as a blip or a one-off. But there remains some cause for optimism as low-interest rates and strong loan growth in the German corporate sector, indicate a longer-term increase in investment. In addition, new orders out yesterday recorded their third monthly increase in a row. In terms of the rate, the continued Euro weakness means that the sharp decline in the Dollar caused only a modest increase in EUR/USD last night.
EUR: German industrial data disappoints as Europe's largest economy brings a sad second half of the year to a close.

Home Local Guardian Board Member Resign, "Did Colina buy the Tribune?"
Guardian [ColinaImperial] Board Member Resign, "Did Colina buy the Tribune?"
Publisher and Chairwoman of the Guardian/Tribune media operations Eileen Carron listens to former prime minister Perry Christie at an evening social. Could ColinaImperial and its principals quietly taken control over the 100 year old Tribune as they have done over so many other companies?
BY: THE NORTHERN BAHAMAS REPORTER/BLACKBELT
Nassau, The Bahamas – A member of The Nassau Guardian Board of Directors have tendered his resignation at the 160 year old establishment, citing serious breaches in ethical practices by members of the Colina Group of Companies, the parent company of the newspaper. Professor Leon Dash who joined the newspaper Board just after Colina's acquisition of the Nassau Guardian, resigned in December and his resignation was accepted by The Guardian's president, Anthony Ferguson.
Professor Dash, who serves as The Swanland Chair Professor at the University of Illinois raised serious ethical questions about the practices at The Nassau Guardian. Said Dash, "The Board does not know what is happening with the company, meetings continue to be cancelled, nobody on the Board appears to know how the company is being run. It is just unreal."
On July 25th last year, The Nassau Guardian carried a headline titled, "Major Merger" with a photo of The Tribune's Robert Carron and Guardian owner Emanuel Alexiou announcing a 'Joint Operating Agreement' (JOA) by both newspapers. The article noted that Eileen Dupuch-Carron was appointed Chairwoman and Publisher of the JOA whilst Alexiou served as Deputy Chair. Robert Carron was appointed President of the Tribune and Anthony Ferguson, President of the Guardian, with Carron also serving as Chief Operating Officer for both companies according to the newspaper.
However, what is interesting in all of this 'public relations show' was the fact that all Board Members of The Nassau Guardian were not informed of any deal with The Tribune. "I asked Board Members if what was being announced was in fact so, having not even discussed such a deal at any Board Meeting," Prof. Dash said. "I was told that the entire article published in the Guardian was a misprint and a retraction would follow. It never happened," Professor Dash said. "What is more interesting is that I have asked the senior partners of The Board to provide us with a copy of this JOA agreement and later, we on the board found out that no such thing existed. No one knew about it if it did exist; we never saw a copy of it; and with repeated requests, we were never provided with one."
Professor Dash continued by saying, "This is incredible, here is a Board of a 160 year old establishment, with responsibility to shareholders and entrusted with huge assets; with responsibly to oversee staff pension funds and bank accounts and The Board that oversees the operations of the company cannot get answers on anything happening with the company?" Professor Dash also noted that he became extremely concerned with the direction of the company when he found out that former Publisher, Charles Carter, had resigned from the company without The Board knowing a single thing about this move.
"Charles was asked to tender his resignation I learned later, however The Board was never informed of his move out of the company. This is not how a Board functions. A Board has fiduciary responsibility for a company and for the Board of the Nassau Guardian to be stripped in this way is amazing." The newspaper, since the unclear JOA, has seen the departure of Alison Bethel the Managing Editor and the firing of its Circulation Manager. And in the months prior to the JOA, a spate of firings was carried out in every department at the struggling newspaper.
Prof. Dash also said, "The last straw for me at the company was when I saw that Board Meetings were repeatedly cancelled, meeting after meeting were cancelled and answers were not forthcoming. That was when I decided that that was it for me."
Obviously by way of this merger, the owners of both The Tribune and The Guardian have finally shown their true colors and are thinking more about strengthening the power of their political Party (FNM), than about being a responsible, but separate, plank of the Fourth Estate. No longer is it about 'swearing not to bow to the dogmas of no master,' because Eileen Carron has decided that she will become the master and demand that everyone bows to her. It is hoped that Hubert Ingraham is aware of that, because he's given over print and media communications, lock, stock and barrel to one of the evilest human beings that has ever been born. But then again, he should know that because he has been working with her since the early 1980's!
Editor's note: The JOA has recently hired new talents out of Jones Communication Ltd. to startup of a new radio station in the Guardian, depleting the Jones' of talents at its Love97FM station. Colina has hired already the team of announcers once at Love97FM, members of Jones' editorial staff and the Marketing VP out of Jones Communication. ColinaImperial, according to a source, intends to close Jones Communications for their attacks on the company [ColinaImperial] in the past.

Please help me prepare for this scholarship interview and give me some tips that really do work.
media May 10, 2008 at 3:22 am
No matter what you may say Kenson, they are STILL full of LIES! AND carry a 'DEFLECTION OF THE TRUTH'.
Here is the truth. The Tribune published an article last week denying the case that the students shown in a video on youtube.com were Bahamians students. The Ministry of Education (Which Carl Bethel heads) published the release and the 'rag sheet' did their bidding.
Now the 'WUTLASS Rag Sheet' failed to tell you, the reader, was that students participating in the sex act were shown on the national news wearing the DORIS JOHNSON high school uniform. And the matter was mentioned in the House of Assembly by a member of parliament.
But here is where they deflected the truth, one month ago, we were informed of a sex act committed on the campus of Queen's College, where the surveillance camera captured a CABINET MINISTER'S SON, having sex with a 13 year old school girl. 'STATUTORY RAPE!', and the principal has yet to report it to the police.
The next time you read the paper, write a letter to the editor, asking the question, is sex happening in the schools MR. Editor? And see if they would even publish that.
They were all quick to jump on the decent Rubie Nottage even though they could not even confirm what they were saying by the United States Ambassador
Thanks to BLOGS like Bahamas Press, you can be critical of us and we would report it. You can ask us and we would answer! But them bunch of 'WICKED COCKEYED REPORTERS IN THE RAG SHEET?'
But more importantly, the Tribune themselves, have yet to report it to you a loyal reader. Now you see why they want you to no have access to a blog? They possess the MIND OF COMMUNISTS! That is what they are! BLOODY COMMUNIST THAT RUN THE TRIBUNE!
Gata run I see John Marquis coming on this BLOG! "GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE JOHN!"
I like the stories
You love the Tribune "Kenson" an so did Sir Etienne Dupuch Sr., you should try ask him if he still have the same passion for his paper today now that it has turned into a 'BIAS WITCH-HUNT and a combustion of untruths and LIES.' Come one now, how could you love something that spins lies?
I love the tribune newspaper

Q: Actionscript problems Hi i am fairly new to actionscript and i am currently having some problems. Even though i have added the stop();, the swf movie keeps relooping. I am also getting some errors from the compiler which are : *Access of undefined property Startbtn_ins and Access of undefined property gotoStartbtn* Even though i have put my actions in a different layer, my button is called Start_btn and is already converted. Thus when i click my button, it does not go to the frame i want it to and just stays there.
  Here is my Actionscript code :
`stop();`

Startbtn_ins.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoStartbtn);

function gotoButt1(event:MouseEvent):void

{
    gotoAndPlay(2);
}

Help will be greatly appreciated.

A: Try this one actually you have wrote the function name with mouse event are
 gotoStartbtn but in the function you have given different name called
 gotoButt1. So Please give the correct name for the function here i mentioned
 like you do then it will work.
stop();

Startbtn_ins.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoStartbtn);

function gotoStartbtn(event:MouseEvent):void

 {
   gotoAndPlay(2);
 }

A: First, I'm not sure if it is intentionally but stop(); must not be in quotes.

Second you have to get rid of all errors for stop() to actually work. You can not have any errors in your code.
The error
Access of undefined property Startbtn_ins
and
Access of undefined property gotoStartbtn
means that actionscript can not see instaces with that name.
It might be because of several reasons. Most common, however:
 1. Check that you have given symbol an instance name Startbtn_ins in flash object property panel.
 2. Check that object is at available at the frame you have entered the code. So, if you have your Startbtn_ins.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoStartbtn); at the 1st frame, then object with that name also needs to be available at that frame.

A: as far as I can see it, there is a stray character before stop();

Jason Del Rey has been a business journalist for 15 years and has covered Amazon, Walmart, and the e-commerce industry for the last decade. He is a senior correspondent at Vox.
This story is part of a group of stories called
Uncovering and explaining how our digital world is changing — and changing us.
Alipay, China's popular online payments service, wants a piece of the U.S. e-commerce market and is using its close ties with Alibaba to pitch itself as the ideal conduit between American retailers and Chinese shoppers. With the unveiling of a service called Alipay ePass, the company says it wants to help these retailers market goods to Chinese shoppers, accept payments from them, and get orders into their hands quicker.
Alipay, which makes an Internet payment service that is similar to PayPal, has previously cut deals with American Western companies such as H&M, Gilt and Airbnb to offer its service as a payment option to the more than 300 million Chinese customers who have Alipay accounts. Now it wants to expand those relationships. The company has also struck a deal with payments service Stripe to let businesses that use Stripe offer Alipay as a payment option to their online customers.
The move underscores the increasing appetite among Chinese shoppers for Western clothing and beauty brands, and the race to profit off of that interest by Chinese Internet companies and U.S. retailers alike. If Alipay is successful, it could also develop into a competitor to companies such as Borderfree that help U.S. companies sells goods overseas.
(Update: After this article was posted, an Alipay spokeswoman said in an email that Borderfree is currently a partner of Alipay.)
Alipay will use its relationship with Alibaba, its former parent company with which it still maintains close ties, to make this happen. Alibaba will provide marketing support for these retailers to raise awareness of their brands in China, Alipay says, and an Alibaba-affiliated logistics company is expected to remove some hurdles that traditionally present themselves when shipping goods into China. Alipay will take a cut of sales in exchange for its services, though the company declined to provide details on how much.
In a press briefing in New York City on Tuesday, Alipay U.S. president Jingming Li said its pitch to retailers centers on lowering the barrier to purchase for Chinese customers who would rather use Alipay than a dual-currency credit card.
"We are really targeting the young professional [who has] probably been Western-educated," he said.

Recruiting Update: Ty Rankin (2019 Grant HS/Rose City Rebels 17U)
By Jed Tai
AAU basketball was one of change for Ty Rankin. The strong 6-foot-2 combo guard's role with the Rose City Rebels was more complimentary than his one normally with Grant High School, where he's more of a leading man. But Rankin took things all in stride, filling in the gaps with rebounding and defense, and learning to become a catch-and-shoot player from deep.
"It was different for me, but I tried to do whatever I had to do to help us win," Rankin said. "We did better than how we did in the other (EYBL) sessions, so that was good about July. I changed my game, but I wanted to help our team – whatever I needed to do to help us win."
Rankin recently participated in Portland State Elite Camp, where he was able to play a little more like what we've come to expect from him these past few years at Grant. With the ball in his hands a little more, he was able to use his strength to attack the basket and utilize his good ball-handling skills to get where he wanted to go.
On the recruiting front, Rankin noted that Central Washington has been in contact with him the most, as well as some other schools such as Carroll College, Lewis & Clark, and Whitman College. He's keeping all of his options open and instead of playing football this year, Rankin is now simply focused on getting set for his senior season.
"I'm going to work on my bounce more, my shooting more, and I can always work on my defense," Rankin said. "Now moving forward and going into high school (season) we're going to try and win another state championship, go back-to-back."
Rankin currently ranks as the #6 player in the PrepHoops Oregon Class of 2019 rankings.

Unbound is a short and sweet novella in the Amoveo series. Zach, a guardian and lion shifter briefly introduced in Unclaimed, has accepted that he will never find his mate. Therefore to live life to the fullest, he heads to the beach for a little rest, relaxation, and recovery from wounds he received in the previous novel.
Zach comes to fear that his mate is human which means that even if he mates with her, he will lose his powers anyway. However, Annabelle is no simple human. She has a gift of seeing people's past with her touch. But it is not her gift that is dangerous, but her familial connections. Annabelle is related to the Caedo family, a group of humans who are trying to annihilate the Amoveo. She knows who and what Zach is, and in order to protect him, she tries to deny him.
Overall we enjoyed this novella. It is cute and a light read. We thought that Zach and Annabelle's story could have been much longer. We wanted to learn more about Annabelle and her Caedo family. We had a short peak into Annabelle's history but learned almost nothing of Zach's. The smexy scene in the middle dominated the page time, but it was passionately fun. It was a bit confusing to the mythology that an Amoveo who mates with a human loses his powers. We did not recall this tidbit and felt the need to reread the previous novels to clear up our confusion.
Although the ending felt a bit weak and that Zach was being so overprotective that he doesn't give his people the benefit of a doubt, we did like Unbound. We hope to see more of Zach and Annabelle in the future; we have faith in the Amoveo with their victory over the purists and that Zach's distrust of his friends will be proved wrong. For any fans of the Amoveo series, this is a smexy must read.
Thank you, we enjoy this series!
This looks like a fun series. I need to find time to move it higher on my TBR list.
It is a good series and we enjoy the mythology. Her spin off from it (NYC Vamps) is also very good.
I hope you do and enjoy them as we have! Feel free to see previous reviews posted here as we have read them all!

We got tired of carrying our charging cords in our pants pocket and searching for a wall outlet, or being tethered to a charging pole just to squeeze a little more juice into our phone batteries when we could. We also didn't want to buy expensive external battery packs that we would have had to remember to charge and carry with us. We wanted something easy, affordable, and everywhere… so we built it. MobileQubes' self-service, fully automated kiosk give smartphone users power where they need it—on-the-go and in their hands. No cords, no stopping, no problem.

Casa de boges 3 (títol original en francès: La Cage aux folles 3) és una pel·lícula francoitaliana dirigida per Georges Lautner, estrenada l'any 1985. És la continuació de Casa de boges i de Casa de boges 2. Ha estat doblada al català.

Argument
Albin ha d'anar a Escòcia per rebre la fabulosa herència de la seva tia: un castell envoltat d'immenses terres, un títol ducal i, sobretot, un autèntic botí que podria solucionar d'una vegada per sempre totes les dificultats financeres del cabaret on treballa, Casa de boges. Però les condicions del testament precisen que no podrà rebre la seva herència fins després d'haver contret matrimoni, i ser pare d'un fill legítim, en 18 mesos.

Renato, el seu company, i l'autèntic propietari de la Casa de boges, decideixen d'empènyer-lo a casar-se. Davant la manca de motivació d'Albin, no vacil·la a utilitzar tots els mitjans per arribar al seu objectiu, fent-li creure que ha esdevingut heterosexual.

, abbreviated as Sukibi, is a Japanese shōjo manga by Yoshiki Nakamura. It is the story of , a 16-year-old girl who discovers that her childhood friend and romantic goal, Shotaro Fuwa, only keeps her around to act as a maid and to earn his living expenses, while he works his way to become the top pop idol in Japan. Furious and heartbroken, she vows revenge by beating him in show business.

In Japan, the manga was first published in Hakusensha's shōjo manga magazine Hana to Yume in February 2002, while in the United States, it began publishing under Viz Media's Shojo Beat label in 2006. Forty-eight volumes and one fanbook have been released in Japan, and forty-six of the volumes have been released in the United States. In 2002, a drama CD adaptation was made and released by Marine Entertainment, and covers the first volume (chapters one to five) of the manga. An anime adaptation was produced by Hal Film Maker, and began airing October 5, 2008. It ended airing with episode twenty-five on July 12, 2009.

Plot

Skip Beat! follows the story of Kyoko Mogami, a sixteen-year-old girl who loves her childhood friend, Shotaro Fuwa, but is betrayed by him. Having spent a large part of her childhood at Shotaro's parents' inn, she learned a great deal about hostelry and other such jobs. Shotaro, not wishing to take over his parents' business, asks Kyoko to run away with him to Tokyo, leaving high school and her life in Kyoto Prefecture behind to help him pursue a career in music. Upon arrival in Tokyo, Kyoko lives an unreasonably frugal life and works multiple jobs to support Sho, as he is called by his fans, spending nothing on herself and doing whatever she can for Sho, who eventually becomes ranked seventh of the top twenty most popular male celebrities of Japan. One day, she overhears Shotaro complaining about her to his manager, saying that she is a boring and plain girl who he thinks of as a doormat. He proceeds to sweet-talk and flirt with his manager, in stark contrast to the cold and demanding attitude he usually exhibits towards Kyoko.

As she storms away, Kyoko doesn't shed many tears when she learns that Sho wanted her along only to handle housekeeping duties. Instead, her "Pandora's box" opens and she vows vengeance on Sho. As she is carried away by security, Sho mockingly tells her that if she wants revenge, she had better become a bigger star than he is. And so, Kyoko changes her appearance and enters the entertainment industry, facing many challenges along the way.

After this introduction, Skip Beat! follows Kyoko's journey climbing up the showbiz ladder at first to gain her revenge but later out of love of acting. Along the way Kyoko meets many interesting people, troublemakers, foes, and friends alike, as she develops both as a person and as an actress. Additionally, she begins to regain the sense of compassion and other tender emotions that she lost when her heart was broken by Sho (Shotaro). Once she enters show biz Kyoko meets Ren Tsuruga, who at first disapproves of Kyoko for such a silly reason to begin acting, a profession he holds semi-sacred. As Kyoko cultivates her acting and friendships, she soon discovers a sense of self separate from her initial plans for revenge.

Pied Piper licensed the series and launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the series on DVD and Blu-ray with an English dub. The Kickstarter campaign was successful, meeting the goal and the stretch goal needed to produce the Blu-ray release.

Live-action adaptation

In 2008, a Taiwanese drama of Skip Beat! was announced in a press conference in Japan, titled () or Extravagant Challenge in English, starring Ivy Chen as Kyōko, Choi Siwon as Tsuruga Ren, and Lee Donghae as Shō Fuwa. It was to be directed by Niu Cheng Ze (鈕承澤) and produced by Gala Television (GTV). A few days before shooting was due to begin, in January 2009, Lai Cong Bi (賴聰筆), Deputy General Manager of GTV stated that the production has been postponed indefinitely due to factors such as restructure of the joint venture company in Japan and script re-write.

In March 2011, it was announced that the project will resume filming in April 2011 with the leading role of Gong Xi (Kyōko) played by Ivy Chen, Dun He Lian (Tsuruga Ren) played by Choi Siwon, and Bu Puo Shang (Shō Fuwa) played by Lee Donghae of Korean boy band Super Junior.

The series aired from December 18, 2011 to April 1, 2012 with a total of 15 episodes. The live-action adaptation also aired in Japan, China, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Each episode ran about an hour long and stuck very closely to the plot line of the manga, albeit with some comedic elements added in. Given its ending (much like the anime, it left loose ends, although it still managed to get further along in the plot) and the many fans the series acquired, there has been speculation as to whether there will be a season two; many believe the producers are waiting for the manga to finish so as to provide a proper ending.

The game is imported from Japan and has yet to be translated into English. Although the game is a continuation of the manga it does not follow the plot specifically.

Szuszuman (oroszul: Сусуман) város Oroszországban, a Magadani területen; a Szuszumani járás székhelye.

Fekvése
A város a Bereljoh partján, a Szuszuman folyó torkolata közelében fekszik, 650 km-re Magadantól. Itt halad át a Magadan és Jakutszk közötti R504-es "Kolima" főút, melyet régen a "csontok útjá"-nak is neveztek.

Története
A települést 1936-ban alapították és az azonos nevű folyóról nevezték el. 1938-ban jelentősen bővítették, és Szuszuman az aranybányászat központja lett. Nyugati része a Dalsztroj nevű szervezet irányítása alá került. Később a Gulag-rendszerhez tartozó munkatáborok foglyaival végeztették az ipari tevékenységeket, köztük az aranybányászatot is. 1949-től 1956-ig a település a Szovjetunió egyik legnagyobb munkatáborközpontja volt Zaplag néven, ez idő alatt több mint 16 500 fogoly dolgozott a területen.

Lakossága

A népesség 1989 óta folyamatosan csökkent: míg 1996-ban Szuszumannak még 10 400 lakosa volt, 2014-re lakossága az egykori népesség felét sem érte el.

Gazdaság
A város a Kolima-vidék aranybányászatának központja volt, gazdasága főleg ezen az ipari tevékenységen alapult.

Közlekedés
A szuszumani repülőtérről hetente négyszer indulnak járatok Magadanba.

Éghajlata
Szuszuman szubarktikus éghajlatára rendkívül hideg, száraz tél és rövid, nagyon enyhe nyár jellemző. A város a Föld egyik leghidegebb állandóan lakott települése, az évi középhőmérséklet −12,5 °C.

The « PCU Québec » Logo is Now a Jewel!
With this concept in mind, I created the logo of « Phénylcétonurie Québec », an icon symbolizing strength (who does not know Superman?). It was noticed by the « Fée des Geekettes », a French artist who contacted me to use it and decline it in the form of jewelry! Indeed, the image of « PCU Québec » is now available in France in the form of bracelets, necklaces, magnets, brooches, etc.
They were sold in preview at the Annual Congress of the « Association des Feux Follets » on October 22-23. I am very happy to have participated (a little bit) in this creation.
You can see all the Super PCU (PKU) creations from the Fée des Geekettes here. I also encourage you to follow and share her Facebook page.
I want to thank her and the « Association des Feux Follets » for contacting me and collaborating with me so that these jewels can see the light and give them visibility! It was an honor for me. I invite you to click here to see some photographs that were taken at their last congress.
Les Feux Follets: national association [France] created in 1995 and grouping more than 300 members. The objectives of the association are essentially to help, support and advise families affected by an inherited metabolic disorder, especially phenylketonuria (PKU).

Texas Tow Truck Insurance. If you own a TX tow truck business, you likely appreciate the freedom of being your own boss and making your own rules. However, if you don't have the right level of coverage in place for your business, you may be putting your future success into jeopardy.
Understanding the risks of your business and mitigating those risks with the proper Texas tow truck insurance is vital to making your business the best it can be and weathering any claims that are brought against you.
Texas tow truck insurance protects your towing business from lawsuits with rates as low as $97/mo. Get a fast quote and your proof of insurance now.
According to the NHTSA, TX tow truck drivers face twice the national average risk when it comes to occupational fatalities and injuries. The most typical injury to the driver of a tow truck is being hit by other vehicles on the roadway. Operators often also injure themselves when they are hooking a wrecked vehicle up and exposing themselves to broken glass and jagged edges on windshields. Because tow truck drivers are often called out for work on days when the weather is horrible, bad driving conditions such as snow and ice often lead to accidents among drivers and others on the road. In the case of a tow truck driver who also offers repo services, confrontations from disgruntled vehicle owners are an additional peril.
You face a lot of the same concerns that owners of other types of commercial vehicles face as a driver of a tow truck. However, some risks are unique to your profession. Companies that offer tow truck insurance are adept at understanding those particular risk offers several different kinds of Texas tow truck insurance coverage for you to choose from. With the various options available, it is possible to build your policy along with your agent to ensure that it covers you at all levels.
By law, commercial tow truck operators and owners must carry a minimum amount of liability coverage. Since you are responsible for the safety and well-being of anyone working for you, you also need other coverage types beyond the minimum to fully mitigate any potential claims. Working with a knowledgeable agent can help you to understand the nuances of Texas tow truck insurance insurance and the particulars of what your particular situation requires. Tow truck owners can be held responsible if they are found to be the cause of an accident, if the car they tow is damaged, if a passenger in their vehicle is damaged, or if they damage other cars or cause bodily harm while driving.
Liability insurance. This covers property damage or bodily injury to others caused by you or your driver. In TX you must purchase at least $15,000/$30,000. This type of coverage may also pay your legal fees if you're ever involved in a claim.
Medical payments coverage. If you, your driver or passengers in the truck are injured while on the job, this type of insurance pays for medical bills that accrue as a result. Because TX tow truck drivers often provide a ride for owners whose vehicles are disabled, this is an important coverage type.
The amount of coverage provided depends on your limits when choosing the policy and any deductible amount associated with your Texas tow truck insurance policy. Evaluate your risk and your tolerance of risk along with your ability to pay for damages prior to choosing the policy for you.
Although it sounds cliche, the truth is that you should ask yourself not if you can afford Texas tow truck insurance for your tow truck, but rather if you can afford not to have this valuable coverage in place. The exact cost of your premium is determined largely by the truck or trucks you own, your driving record and the driving records of your employees, as well as the area of the country you live in and whether your tow truck business is a standalone business or you offer other services, such as mechanical services or operate a service station.

David Spence is having an interesting tournament in the 247-player Masters! After taking a first round bye and drawing in the second round, he faced one of the lowest-rated players in the tournament, in Round 3. And what happened? 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 ... and David's mobile phone rang! 0 - 1.
That's how to lose nearly 14 rating points; he should've been arrested for that.
The next two rounds have been David's best. In Round 7 he beat a Spanish FM with Black in a French Milner-Barry Gambit (see below) and then drew with GM Womacka (Germany) in Round 8. Today, in the penultimate round, he faces another GM, Ralf Akesson from Sweden. Latest news (19.50 on Wednesday): David has just lost against GM Akesson.
So he's on 5 points out of 8, and one of only two untitled players in the top 72.
Clearly, great care still has to be taken. Eventually, after careful manoeuvring by Black, and the first time limit being reached after 40 moves, White resigned, having failed to improve his position.
The other Suffolk player, David Brown, suffered losses in his first three games in the five-round Challengers A section, but finished strongly with two wins.

Career Day A Fun Eye-Opener For BEEF Editor
Burt Rutherford 1 | May 20, 2014
My wife is the principal at a large elementary school, which means I get the opportunity to "volunteer" a lot. The pickup (and its happy driver) hauls lots of stuff, like the inflatable bouncy tent for the Fall Festival and all the equipment the jump-rope team uses when they put on a demonstration.
Last week, however, my volunteer opportunity involved much less manual labor. I spent a morning at the school's career day. I was, frankly, not sure why elementary-age kids needed a career day until I visited with one of the long-time teachers there. He told me how important it is that the kids get the idea early on that there are more opportunities out there than working in a fast-food restaurant.
That's especially important for the kids at my wife's school, which draws from one of the more economically disadvantaged areas of town. Those kids need to know there's a way out, and that it's paved in part with an education.

I walked into the gym last Friday morning a little skeptical; I walked out refreshed and renewed. There are a lot of good kids out there who just need a chance to succeed and someone to believe in them. One young lady, after I described what I do, asked me how soon she could go to work for the magazine. I told her, with an attitude like that, it probably wouldn't be long at all. But she might want to go to college first.
The kids were interested, asked a lot of good questions, and enjoyed touching and fooling around with the chaps, spurs and bridle I brought along as props. A discussion about those props, tools that many BEEF readers use in their daily lives, and the laptop computer sitting beside them, provided a great opportunity to talk about the beef business, the writing business and how fulfilling it is for me to combine the two.
There's no big moral to my tale, nor can I necessarily claim an epiphany from the experience. But I talked with a lot of kids about my work with BEEF and about the beef industry. And the kids, with their endless energy and big smiles, taught me that a little time spent with a child is one of the best investments we can make in our future.

For their joint track "I Am" featuring vocalist Taylr Renee, former Swedish House Mafia member Axwell and production duo Sick Individuals took an unconventional route with the video, calling on fans to submit their own visual creations. "We decided to try something a bit different for the video of 'I Am' and give new film directors the brief," Axwell tells Rolling Stone. "Genero.TV [the platform they used] was a concept I'd liked for a while. We put it up on site and I didn't know what to expect."
The 25 DJs That Rule the Earth
Their expectations were quickly exceeded by the quality of submissions, so the artists decided to make the video a collaborative project, enlisting a handful of their favorite applicants. "The level of entry [was] really incredible," Axwell says. "When we were over 40 videos in, I decided to get more than one of the directors involved in creating a film for all the versions of 'I Am.' It's been a great process to get this track out in so many ways and see so much fresh talent."
The end result is an uplifting video about a missing person's reunion with his family, after living on the street and being discovered by his brother's personal assistant. On his bio, director Matthew Laeng says, "Most of what I shoot [is] highly influenced by my experiences. I enjoy making films that create some type of emotional impact the audience can relate to – whether it be through the characters, the visuals, or most importantly, the story."

Hi Courtney! I am curious to learn more about your point of view on this!
On the website it says "inclusively sized… now in sizes 16-26".
I'm a member of the fat community and there are a lot of thoughts swirling around about Anthro carrying plus sizes now. I, for one, am super excited to get to finally have a chance to wear a brand I've always swooned over. On the other hand, size 26 still leaves out a lot of people and "inclusively sized" might not be the language I'd use.
I'm so excited that Anthro has plus sizes now. AND I'm excited to see someone other than just the fat fashion bloggers that I follow talking about it!! Thanks for celebrating this with us!

"It is a curious situation that the sea, from which life first arose, should now be threatened by the activities of one form of that life. But the sea, though changed in a sinister way, will continue to exist: the threat is rather to life itself."
—Rachel Carson, Marine Biologist
According to the IPBES Global Assessment on biodiversity released in May 2019, almost 33% of reef-forming corals and more than a third of marine mammals are threatened, and 66% of the marine environment has been significantly altered by human activity.
As global population expands and demand for seafood increases, the challenge will be in producing the volume of seafood we need in a way that is protective of the environment and healthy for humans, while also reducing bycatch and defending animal welfare.
Without proper management of how fish are taken from the ocean or grown in aquaculture pens, we run the risk of overfishing, disease, animal cruelty or suffering, and the effects of bycatch.
The United States does a particularly good job of fishery management in domestic waters and is starting to regulate the imports of seafood to comply with U.S. regulations. Organizations like the Environmental Defense Fund and Pew Charitable Trusts are using technology and working with local communities to further improve fishery management abroad. But industrialized fishing in international waters continues to be difficult to monitor and regulate, which contributes to species exploitation, illegal fishing, decreasing biodiversity, and dead zones in the ocean.
By highlighting and supporting the community of responsible producers and seafood innovators around the world who are developing a more sustainable seafood system, we hope you will join us in defending animal welfare, valuing life below water and conserving healthy populations of fish in the ocean.

The world premiere of the documentary on Universal and Unconditional Basic Income "UBI, our right to live" will be on 12 May, at 12 noon.
The event will be part of the European Humanist Forum 2018, which will take place in Madrid from the 11th to the 13th of May.
While more and more people are talking about Basic Income, UBI, Our Right to Live is one of the few documentaries on this subject.
Philosophers, economists, politicians and social activists such as like Daniel Raventós, Philippe Van Parijs, Guy Standing, Louise Haag, Lluis Torrens, Cosima Kern, Julen Bollain, Sara Bizarro, Scott Santens, Ping Xu, Mayte Quintanilla, Elizabeth Rhodes, Rena Masuyama and Sonja Scherndl answer a lot of the doubts and fundamental questions in this film regarding the ideas behind and the implementation of a basic income. Coming from different continents, they are at the same time Universal Basic Income advocates and activists, something new that characterizes the documentary.
This new production by director Álvaro Orús is a descriptive work about what a Basic Income is, what it is not, what arguments are put forward for and against this measure, possibilities for implementation, and the consideration that it should become a Universal Right since it would ensure the survival of every human being, "something that corresponds to each and every person by the simple fact of having been born," according to Orús.
For many, the UBI is the only possible solution to growing poverty, at a time in history when we have more than enough wealth for all of humanity to live with dignity, yet it is being concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. This measure would help in redistributing wealth and free up vast sectors of the population from the miserable situation in which they live. In short, this is a measure of social justice.
But some of the interviewees also refer to the revolutionary implications that this measure would have, since it affects the most basic structure of beliefs on which the current system is supported and in which a few have appropriated what belongs to everyone.
The documentary premieres in Madrid and has been produced in Spanish and English, with the French version on its way.
This is a work promoted by Pressenza News Agency and the collective Humanists for the Universal Basic Income; the music has been composed by the versatile David Bazo. The whole project has been carried out in a voluntary way and on the principle of solidarity from start to finish.


It took me a little while to get this to you guys and for that I apologize. Ironically, I was hit with the sickness again. Sheesh.
Mad props to everyone who entered as they were all fantastic.
Give it a listen to hear the winner, since I did a dramatic reading!

Granby Runners Complete Bromont Ultra Race
Wednesday 25 October, 2017
Quebec's fourth annual Bromont Ultra relay race took place earlier this month, with more than 1,500 participants running for a good cause. Hosted by UltraDon events, the event aimed to increase community involvement through physical activity and attracted competitors from around the world.
This year, 21 employees from our Granby, Quebec, location signed up for the race– almost half of whom were new to running! Divided in to three relay teams, it took 12 and a half hours to tackle the 80-kilometer (approximately 50-mile) course, which ranged from flat, easy terrain to highly-technical trails with steep slopes and turns spanning some of the most beautiful scenery in the province.
To increase donations, they held multiple on-site fundraising events like a luncheon, weekly healthy snacks sales, hockey ticket drawings and collection of recyclable materials. The Granby teams contributed an outstanding $1,800 towards the Bromont Ultra, which altogether raised more than $235,000 for five causes:
Reach Out to Humanity (ROTH), an organization dedicated to increasing access to vital resources like healthcare, clean water, education and nutrition to underprivileged communities around the world.
Quebec Foundation for Celiac Disease (FQMC), a foundation that increases awareness and support for those with Celiac Disease.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (SLA) Society of Quebec, a nonprofit that provides invaluable resources and support for those with ALS and their families.
Adaptive Sports Foundation (FSA), an organization that provides life-changing experiences for children and adults with physical and cognitive disabilities and chronic illnesses through outdoor physical activity, education, support and community.
Parc des Sommets de Bromont, a project in partnership with the Nature Conservatory of Canada to conserve local land.
"The team worked hard and put a lot of passion into the fundraising," said Philip O'Shaughnessy, Granby Plant Manager. "They proved they were up to the physical challenge and supported each other until the end!"
In addition to the benefits of making a positive impact on their community, the Kerry runners also enjoyed the opportunity to come together as a team to complete such an impressive achievement.
About KEEP
The Kerry Employee Engagement Program (KEEP) is a North America initiative designed to connect colleagues, build relationships, give back to the community and enrich the personal experiences of Kerry employees.
