A Look At East Lynne Theater Company's 2021 Season
(CAPE MAY, NJ) -- As the award-winning Equity professional East Lynne Theater Company prepares for its upcoming 41st summer/fall production season in Cape May, NJ, it continues to produce virtual events for its YouTube Channel, most of which will be free and can be viewed any time during a limited run in the comfort of one's home. ELTC strongly recommends connecting the computer to the flat screen TV with an HDMI cable so the show can be seen on a larger screen with better sound. Some televisions have easy access to YouTube, in which case, most of ELTC's virtual shows can be viewed directly on the "big screen."
York Theatre Company Sustains Major Damage From Water Main Break
(NEW YORK, NY) -- The York Theatre Company sustained major damage from a water main break that occurred early on January 4, 2021. The damage is very extensive on the subterranean levels of St. Peter's Church, which house the church's Sanctuary and The York's offices and facility. Up to two feet of water and mud were reported at places in the facility and the theater lobby; various elements including ceilings, walls, carpeting and perhaps even the stage have sustained major damage. The interior of the theater itself received some damage but the new seating installed a few years back seems to be intact. Crews are working long hours daily to remove and protect damaged items.
Lewis Center for the Arts' Program in Theater presents "Unbecoming" by Emma Catherine Watkins
(PRINCETON, NJ) -- The Lewis Center for the Arts' Program in Theater at Princeton University will present the first full production of Unbecoming, a new play by Princeton alumna Emma Catherine Watkins. The play is inspired by the story of real-life Lady Charlotte Guest, a Victorian housewife and mother who aspires to become the first person to translate the Mabinogion — a collection of ancient Welsh stories — into English, and the encounters that ensue as the mythic characters of these legends invade Charlotte's world. The filmed outdoor production features Princeton seniors Paige Allen and Eliana Cohen-Orth, who also serve as dramaturg and director, respectively.

George Wirth, a singer-songwriter and life-long resident of the New Jersey Shore, has released The Long Road Home. It follows two previously critically acclaimed albums: The Lights of Brigantine and The Last Good Kiss. Featured guest performers on those albums have included Janey Todd, Abbie Gardner and Grammy Award winner Amanda Shires.
John Fogerty Releases New Song "Weeping In The Promised Land"
John Fogerty has released "Weeping In The Promised Land," a poignant reflection on 2020 and how the events of this past year have altered life as we've always known it. Coming from a songwriter who has captured the pulse of the nation time and again through enduring classics like "Fortunate Son," "Bad Moon Rising" and "Have You Ever Seen The Rain," Fogerty reckons with the isolation, loss, division and hardship that were all too common this past year. The new song ultimately serves as a moving tribute to those who have been victims of the pandemic and those who have suffered through prejudice and injustice, with an eye on brighter days ahead.

The Principal of the University Of Rwanda College of Education met new students at Rukara Camps ahead of the new academic year. The event which is commonly known as freshers induction brought together members of academic and administrative staff as well as continuing students.
Speaking on the occasion, Prof. George Njoroge, the Principal of the College of Education told new students that by joining the University, they should well understand what they want for themselves, their families and most importantly for their country.
"We want somebody whom the country can be proud of, somebody who can have an impact in the world," he said, adding that the University of Rwanda is a nation centered and student focused institution.
The Principal also urged new students to make sure that their challenges are communicated through the right channels so that the management can address them in the right way. To the staff, he exhorted them to be in constant contact with students through their guild council so that the College can understand their issues and find appropriate and timely solution.
In his remarks, Dr André Muhirwa, the Director of Teaching and Learning Enhancement assured students that the College is committed to offer quality education for them to get knowledge and skills and ultimately achieve their goals, learning outcomes and competences. He also asked them to abide with campus rules and regulations, and other values among others good etiquettes, respect of public property which will help them to thrive in society.
Among other speakers at the event was Mr Alcade Kamanzi, the Ag. Campus Director. He told students that time management and proper planning is a key to success. He pledged support from the College Management and assured that the College does not intend to make life difficult for them rather facilitating them for proper knowledge acquisition. It is worth noting that the induction exercise has been integrated across the whole semester as opposed to yesteryears where it used to be carried out in one week.

History:In 1993 Sharpline was offered the distributorship of a quality Korean brand of hairdressing scissors. This factory had been for many years making scissors under contract for Japanese brands using all Japanese materials and parts. Although the existing brand designs were not to our liking, Sharpline did design a whole new range, the "SL" Pro Stylist hairdressing scissors. We chose as our blade metal a Japanese specially modified alloy by Hitachi 440CM. This higher molybdenum alloy had an excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Sharpline spent many years teaching the "SL" factory to achieve world quality standards. By introducing the "SL" Pro Stylist range Sharpline has been able to for over 20 years give Australian hairdressers a quality choice at value for money prices, 30% to 50% cheaper than equivalent all Japanese products.
Design features:"SL" scissors are designed to be versatile and perform all current hairdresser's techniques very well. The flat and thin blade profile and fine finished edges are designed for the softest cutting feel. Edge retention is up to twice as long than standard stainless steel scissors. The handle designs of the "SL" Pros Stylist range have larger finger holes, are light weight and the comfortable designs are made for western hairdressers.

In Columns, Fall Down, Get Up Again- a Column by John Connor.
It's 4 a.m. and, unsurprisingly, I'm laying flat on my back.
Yesterday, I had a whale of a time and now I feel like a beached one.
I'm not in my own bed because I'm staying in a tres jolie bed-and-breakfast in Northern France.
The trouble is the bed is exceedingly low and I have nothing to grab onto. I need a wee. Help!
I wake my long-suffering wife and we improvise a 15-minute Laurel & Hardy slapstick routine to maneuver me into my wheelchair. Once there, I remain. It's by no means the first time that I've had to sit up all night. In my hitchhiking days, pulling an all-nighter on a Greyhound bus, I considered it luxury travel. Unlike sleeping in a tent, it was warm, dry and remarkably soft! Getting toughened up to upright sleeping in my youth turns out to be tres practical now that I have MS. Sometimes, like now, I have no other choice.
In truth, it was an ambitious escapade.
My friend Nigel had researched an amazing wine shop 10 miles from Calais. We were going on an up-market booze cruise before Brexit made such a trip fiendishly complex. (OK, we used the Channel Tunnel, but the phrase still counts!) Plans evolved and instead of trying to do everything in one day ― it was wine shop, eat out in the evening, sleep and then the next morning, a tad of French grocery shopping in the sleepy village of Ardres. We were so laid back we were too late for the boulangerie (boo) but made the crèmerie (hurrah).
I'd perused the in-depth wine list and decided, like going to a good restaurant, to throw myself on the mercy of the establishment. We were met by the English avuncular proprietor, Guy Boursot, and proceeded to spend three hours tasting our way through his suggestions. I've done a bit of wine tasting. I grew up in an off-licence (liquor store), but not one like this. All the wines were good; it was just a matter of choosing your personal faves. At times like this, being in a wheelchair has its advantages ― comfy, and even if you were able-bodied, less chance of drinking too much and falling over.
In the past couple of years, I've hardly ventured away from my known hangouts. Home, work or going to friends or family residences. Three new venues in the space of a few hours turned out to be physically and mentally taxing. The wine shop was a dream for the disabled: No step and a floor entry smoothed for wheelchair access. The B&B was all on the ground floor, but there was a step into the room and the shower cubicle was too high. Breakfast required a wheelchair trek across a pebble driveway, grass, a narrow path and then an enormous step. I made it, but it turned into a communal effort. The restaurant again required me to clamber up one step, something I can usually manage easily, but not when exhausted.
It's now a few days later, and I'm finally recovered.
I loved the trip, but I'm glad I've got nothing planned for the moment.
We are talking about Copenhagen and the reopening of the world-famous restaurant Noma.
I never learn.

In the '80s, John created the first regular column about the burgeoning London stand-up scene. In 1990 he wrote a book about its effect on the Edinburgh Festival: "Comics: A Decade of Comedy at the Assembly Rooms." That year he also devised and ran a live topical stand-up team show at The London Comedy Store, The Edge. (It was destroyed in 2020!) In 2009 John was diagnosed with RRMS, which cut short his main job as a TV casting director for "Black Books," "My Family," et al. Now, John writes "Fall Down Get Up Again," an irreverent journey with MS, and also serves as MS News Today Forums co-moderator.
