I am KELSEY CLARK and here I am going to share my experiences on using CBD oil for depression. When I initially found out about CBD oil, I'll concede that I was somewhat suspicious. My brain quickly swung to weed and the alarming encounters that I would have suffered from depression in school. For me, a man who is now inclined to overthink, marijuana regardless of what the types, would normally put my psyche into overdrive and result to put into the feared reaction which is called as paranoia.
Thereafter one of my friends has suggested me to take CBD oil for depression. So I have researched a lot of information about the CBD oil products from the reliable online sites. I have also contacted several online stores and asked them my doubts about choosing the full spectrum. From my experiences, I suggest you contact Vers Naturals if you want to buy full spectrum, they have high-quality products with excellent customer support that they will help you to place your orders effortlessly. I always suggest you to research on your own to choose the best CBD oil for your health condition.
While browsing the sites, I have found that CBD oil does not produce the effects of psychoactive which enable to feel high. This information enabled me to trust more on the CBD oil products. After that, I have started to use CBD oil for depression. Here in this article, I have explained what happened after I took CBD oil and how it changed my life.
Generally, I would be little stumbled up by few things such as an excessively crowded metro car or a full inbox during at work time, the CBD oil appears to have lifted the spirits of my nervousness a bit. Other than auditing a social interaction or over-thinking of overloaded email, I've thought that it was less demanding to perceive the irrationality of these speculations and really let them go (rather than ruminating on the circumstance). In somewhere I could feel better.
Even CBD oil helped me to feel less anxious, still, I have encountered some social anxiety when meeting a new group of individuals.
I function admirably under strain, yet being to a great degree occupied at work has relatively made me less beneficial. I'm constantly diverted by slack, email and the general population around me, to the point where completing my work winds up troublesome. This week, I've thought that it was less demanding to put my blinders on, shut out all diversions (particularly social diversions) and concentrate on one assignment at a time. I think this is incompletely related to the decreased anxiety due to depression. I feel more fatigued and off undertaking while the level of anxiety is at very high. It nearly feels like a freshly discovered feeling of clearness and quiet that empowers me to concentrate.
I expect this is likewise a reaction of the facilitated nervousness, however, I appear to fall asleep within in the range of 20 to 30-minute instead of my ordinary 45-60 minutes (or more). In addition to the fact that I seem to skip (or if nothing else shortening) the entire tossing-and-turning period of my sleep cycle, yet I can able to snap out of the overthinking attitude that frequently keeps me up on the whole night. Obviously, there's no telling whether a major life occasion would kindly disturb this newly discovered rapture, yet I'd get a kick out of the chance to believe it's encouraged on everyday premise.
This is where the first article on CBD experiences by KELSEY CLARK published.

Agios Nikolaos To Heraklion Town
Heraklion Town
TransferPlan will transfer you from and to Agios Nikolaos as quickly, safely and comfortably as possible. Agios Nikolaos lies 63km east of Crete's capital Heraklion, north of the town of Ierapetra and west of the town of Sitia, Lasithi's capital.
Agios Nikolaos is located along a hilly terrain overlooking the coastline and the idyllic Mirabello Bay. Agios Nikolaos is unique amongst other Cretan urban centres as it manages to mix a blend of artsy, leisurely, sleepy and yet vibrant environment. It is the cosmopolitan capital of the Lasithi prefecture and boasts 20000 permanent inhabitants. The name of Agios Nikolaos is derived by the old Byzantine church located west of the city.
One of the highlights of Agios Nikolaos is the Lake Voulismeni, a lagoon of extraordinary beauty riddled by legends and myths. It is said that in its eerie scenery goddess Athena used to take her baths in it. Moreover, it was a common belief that the lake had no bottom, until 1853, when a British admiral ordered soundings to be taken and found out a bottom that reached to 200 feet in depth. Nevertheless, the assumption that the lake was indeed bottomless was used even in modern times to attract tourists in the town. Apart from taking some long walks around the lake and appreciating the mesmerising landscape, one can take the opportunity to dive into the serene waters of the lake and spend some quality time surrounded by nature.
Agios Nikolaos offers a number of other excellent attractions, such as splendid neoclassical architecture, well maintained buildings and a network of stairs around the steep city, the marina, All Saints Island which is home to the endangered species of Cretan wild goats, Kitroplatia square which houses some shops, cafes and restaurants and the Gulf of Mirabello which is of unique beauty and should be one of the 'must sees' if you decide to make your way to the city.

TransferPlan will transfer you from and to Heraklion town as quickly, safely and comfortably as possible. Heraklion boasts the title of the largest urban entity in Crete and is also the administrative capital of the island. Heraklion has an immense historical and cultural heritage, as in close proximity to the city visitors can find the Palace of Knossos, which has served as the centre of Minoan civilisation. Throughout the city, you can also find a number of constructions dating back to the Venetian occupation such as Koules Fortress in the old port.
Heraklion is home to some world class monuments and cultural landmarks. Among the most outstanding man-made structures is the Heraklion Fortress that contains the 'old town'. Originally built by Arab merchants and later on reinforced by Venetians, the Fortress included seven bastions, of which only the Martinego bastion survives the passing of time. Moreover, visitors will be delighted to find one of the gates to the city, named Chanioporta, which is ornate with the winged lion of Saint Marc. Visitors can also pay pilgrimage to the grave of one of Greece's most important writers and Nobel recipient, N. Kazantzakis. The sight that marks his resting place also offers some mesmerising views of the city.
Throughout the city, one can spot statues and monuments commemorating prolific figures that have been important for Greece's course through history and have contributed to Crete's immense cultural heritage. Some of the names include renaissance painter El Greco, Poet Vicenzo Kornaros and Politician Eleftherios Venizelos.
Moreover, the Archaeological museum should be on the top of every visitor's list; a splendid space that boasts a massive collection of ancient artefacts from all over the island and covers more than 5,500 years of history. Special emphasis is given to the spoils of Minoan civilisation, which has been one of the first to spring in the Southern European cost and was almost entirely wiped out by a volcanic eruption and a subsequent tsunami. The museum is home to the most important collection of surviving Minoan antiquities in the world and awaits its visitors to explore the mysteries of this extinguished civilisation.
Nowadays, Heraklion represents a beacon of Greek modernization and has been subjected to an extensive urban sprawl, that gives it a truly unique character. Despite the expansion of concrete residential blocs and the immense traffic, a short walk through the bustling streets and alleys will travel you through thousand years of history and will reveal to you the hip side of Greece with its rich coffee culture and culinary delights that can be found in every corner.

Usually, when travelling on an Intercity direct train, you have to pay an extra supplement of 2,40 euros to board. This, however, is changing for travellers using the train between Schiphol and Rotterdam.
The Intercity direct transports passengers from Amsterdam Central station to Schiphol Airport, and further onward to Rotterdam Central station and Breda.
Despite being a high-speed train (HST), the Intercity direct has failed to be on time so often in the first half of 2017 that the State Secretary Sharon Dijksma is threatening NS and ProRail with fines.
At the beginning of this year, Dijksma issued NS and ProRail with collective fines of 2,3 million euros for their poor performance in 2016.
The state secretary has decided to allow passengers to temporarily profit from the sanctions given to NS and ProRail.
Those travelling between Schiphol and Rotterdam on the Intercity direct in off-peak hours will no longer have to pay for a supplement to travel on this service. Passengers travelling during peak-hours however, still have to pay for a train supplement before they can board the high-speed train.
The off-peak supplement exemption will be put into place this year.
In order to prevent extra fines this year, NS and ProRail must do everything they can to improve their service on the high-speed rail line. Possible penalties will be based on the performance of both companies over the whole of 2017.
In addition to the efforts of NS and ProRail, Dijksma is reserving 60 million euros for the improvement of the high-speed train infrastructure.

Hitchin winger moves to Hemel
Jun 24, 2016 | More News
After much consideration and long deliberation by both Evo-Stik League Southern Premier Division club Hitchin Town and Jonny McNamara, it has been decided that the silky winger will be joining Vanarama National League South side Hemel Hempstead Town for an undisclosed fee and sell-on clause.
An approach was made by Hemel in May and the Canaries have placed on record how professional and respectful Hemel have conducted themselves throughout negotiations.
A former Hitchin youth team player, McNamara re-signed for the club in the close season of 2014 from neighbours Arlesey Town having played for Stotfold in between.
McNamara was torn between staying at Hitchin and playing at a higher level next season and it was with a heavy heart that he has decided to move on and test himself in the National League South.
McNamara said: "I have had a fantastic two years at Hitchin Town and made many friends with players, officials and supporters. I will cherish my memories at Hitchin and wish the lads and supporters the very best of luck for next season."
Hitchin manager Mark Burke said: "Jonny is an exciting young prospect that has served this club with great distinction and I am sure he will rise to the challenge of playing at a higher level.
"I would like to thank him for his services as he has been a great character to have within the squad and I have enjoyed working with him over the past two years. I wish him the best of luck for the future and hope our paths will cross again".

Kings get a potential franchise player in Jabari which a team like that needs. And an ultra reliable day 1 starter in brogdon.
A core of Brog, Jabari, WCS, and Hield is at least promising.
Bucks take out a lot of the unknown in their future by getting rid of Jabari. Get two super good picks in a loaded draft. They could use those picks many different ways depending how the draft plays out. Ideally they could use the picks to take Tatum, and Smith. (Those two are available at the picks on DX, which historically is the most accurate mock site) . They get a scoring PG, and an all around wing.
In 2 years that's championship caliber. Not to mention it's an extremely low cost team so they would have the ability to sculpt the bench pretty much any way they wanted and could get some really good players.
I think jabari's injury history will kill his fair trade value. Because of this, he's more valuable to hang on too then his return value from another team. Gms don't want to give up top lotto picks for injury prone players. Kings say no.
Kings have 2 top 10 picks in a loaded draft they need to focus those picks on building.
You say "Bucks take out a lot of the unknown in their future by getting rid of Jabari. " yet you are trading him for two draft picks which are literally 10X more unknown then someone already in the league. Even someone who's been plagued with injury.
Laughable! Why would the Bucks even consider it? Brogdan, (Starter) J. Parker (Starter when healthy) Delladedova (Also a Starter) 2017, and 2019 1st rd. picks? For Who? Affalo and What ever CRAP? Busks say NO!
nah getting rookies might stunt the improvement of the bucks and brogdon is very much apart of their future.
Clippers get: Melo, Jennings, Celtics first 18.
Celtics get: Blake griffin, Paul Pierce.
Not really sure about the value of Melo, but obviously both parties want him out of New York. I think this is a good opportunity for The Celtics to get a star in Blake for a reasonable price. But I do know Celtics fans are incredibly stubborn on here and will say no deal.
I actually think this trade makes sense.
. I'd like another young guy to philly though. Value seems off to me.
Bucks get 60 games to see whether or not Noel is worth it to resign. They also free themselves from Monroes contract and give him to a team that could use him proprerly. Delly has been good, but isn't good for the development of the team. He requires the ball far too much and the team is much better with Giannis at the point. Brogdon has proved to be a more ham capable backup and will only get better.
Bulls get Monroe who would fit in nicely there. I think he could average 18-10 for them. Portis and him would have good spacing on the offensive end which would help Monroe a lot. I think the bulls would be better with this trade. They also get a high second round pick.
Philly clears the logjam they have at the five. They get a good vet pg who can shoot the three. They also get a good big who can shoot and help spread the floor for either Embiid or okafor. A lineup of Simmons, x, McDermott, saric, and embiid would be a nightmare to defend for opposing teams.
No way Bucks do this.
Sign, Waiters, Anderson, a defensive big man or draft one to play off the bench if need be.
Bucks: Still have two early firsts and in this draft can some decent role players at that point, the drop off won't be that far once out of the top 15 or 20. Could probably get Melo Trimble, and maybe a Ben Bentil. Also get a potential treasure in the 2017 first round pick. going to be a loaded draft. Even if it falls to 10 (doubt it) it will be so much more valuable than this years 10th pick. The hope is that the Suns lick like they have lately and it's a top 5 pick. Bucks now have very solid shooters, and a bench that is very solid.
Suns: Clear up the guard mess, and now have 3lottery picks in this draft. Can either use them to move up and get Simmons or Ingram. Or lock down a really nice group of young players to complement Knight and Booker. Also get rid of Chandlers contract.
I think a Bledsoe for Monroe with maybe a draft pick is good enough. Idk why the bucks would want an old chandler when Henson does the same thing and is younger.
1. Bucks really don't have much faith in Henson for whatever reason (I love him), so why keep a guy around on a 40+ mil contract if he's just going to sit on the bench.
2. Bucks are thinking of signing Howard and I really don't want that to happen, because he's got a boatload of problems and comes at a high price and having Chandler (bad contract, but not as bad as it would be.) would stop a D12 signing.
3. Suns wanna offload his contract, and I think to match up the values of Bledsoe and the really big thing, the 2017 unprotected pick, I think they will want us to take Chandler, and ask for Henson and another pick. Maybe one of the picks can come out.
I take back every deal I said was unrealistic after seeing the Bucks traded Plumlee for Hawes and Hibbert. This is a glorious day to be a Bucks fan. One of the best executed salary dumps every. Saving $33 million and not having to send out any picks.
Ya I'm puzzled as to why Charlotte would do that trade and to why Bucks gave him all that money in the first place.
Bucks are going to be a fun team to watch for awhile.
Everyone should go check out the lakers page. I kid you not this was a a trade on the page that had 5 believables.
76ers trade: Ben Simmons, Okafor and Noel.
Then they had the audacity to say, 6ers would be better off from this deal, but the lakers should still do it.
I know that page is horrible, there was one that asked if the Lakers could get a star for young Williams and Calderon lmao.
Read the whole thing. I was making fun of the people that say it worked on the trade machine. I even put the plus and minus to show how stupid the trade machine is. And I think the people that said believable are on the same page as saying the trade machine is a joke. Not that they think the trade is a good one.
I KNOW THERE IS NO WAY THAT TRADE HAPPENS! It was a joke. Sorry you didn't get it.
Yeah I don't think the rumors of Jackson going number 1 are the least it true. I think Fultz goes 1 almost guaranteed. I think there's more of chance Jackson goes 4 or 5 then 1.
Lakers might need a little more. I would think #2 and Russell are almost enough for the 1. But Ingram is much more valuable than horford.... although deng is a big minus I don't think it evens it out.
Carmelo isn't worth all that.


Neoliberal reforms in higher education have resulted in corporate managerial practices in universities and a drive for efficiency and productivity in teaching and research. As a result, there has been an intensification of academic work, increased stress for academics and an emphasis on accountability and performativity in universities. This paper critically examines these developments in institutions and draws on evidence from universities across the sector and a detailed case study in one university to identify the impacts of these changes on academic work. Given its ubiquity and the link of academic productivity to institutional experience, the paper argues that assumptions underpinning academic performance management need to be rethought to recognise the fundamentally intrinsic motivational nature of academic work. The paper explores the effects of performance management on individual academics as a case study in one institution and proposes a re-design of academic performance management to improve productivity based on the evidence.

Death toll in Somalia bombing climbs to 81: govt

'Horrendous crime': UN chief condemns deadly Mogadishu attack
UPDATE | Massive car bomb kills at least 76 in Mogadishu, death toll 'could still be higher'
'All I could see was scattered dead bodies' - car bomb leaves over 20 dead in Mogadishu: police, witnesses
The death toll from a massive car bomb in the Somali capital has risen to 81, a government spokesperson said on Monday, as rescue workers pursued their search for the missing.
The bombing on Saturday at a busy intersection in Mogadishu was the country's deadliest attack in two years.
No one has claimed responsibility, though President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed blamed Islamist group Al-Shabaab, which has regularly carried out car bombings and other attacks as part of its decade-long bid to topple the internationally-backed government.
"The overall number of the dead stands at 81 currently. Two more people died from their injuries," Ismail Muktar, a spokesman for Somalia's information ministry, told AFP Monday.
One of the new fatalities was among the injured who had been evacuated to Turkey via a Turkish military plane on Sunday, Muktar said.
Muktar said the death toll could climb further as rescue operations entered a third day.
Around two dozen people were listed as missing after the attack, but 12 have been located - five of them dead - and the rest remain unaccounted for, he said.
Some 125 people were injured in Saturday's blast, a caseload that has overwhelmed health facilities in Mogadishu.
At least 16 of those killed were students from the capital's private Banadir University, who had been travelling on a bus when the car bomb detonated.
The attack was the biggest to hit Somalia since a truck exploded in 2017 near a fuel tanker in Mogadishu, creating a fireball that killed over 500 people.
Al-Shabaab was blamed for that strike too, though it never formally claimed responsibility - as it often does not do when there is a large amount of civilian casualties.
The United States military said Sunday it had killed four "terrorists" in three airstrikes targeting al-Shabaab.
US Africa Command (AFRICOM) said two militants were killed and two vehicles destroyed in Qunyo Barrow, while two more militants were killed in Caliyoow Barrow.
The US regularly carries out airstrikes in Somalia, though the frequency of such operations has risen sharply this year.
In an April statement AFRICOM said it had killed more than 800 people in 110 strikes in Somalia since April 2017.

Today's guest is Kathleen Peddicord, the founder of Live and Invest Overseas. She shares her story with us and talks about why she moved from Paris to Panama City.
[2:00] How can you practice an abundance mindset in your life?
[6:00] Running from the Boogeyman is not going to solve your problems.
[10:00] Negativity is not the solution.
[11:55] How did Kathleen's journey begin?
[16:15] What was the big 'ah-ha' moment for Kathleen?
[18:00] How long did it take Kathleen to start her business overseas?
[28:45] Kathleen found Ireland frustrating.
[31:35] Starting a business today? Then go to Panama.
[36:25] Panama is influenced by the US.
[40:35] You need to accept a foreign country for what it is.
[42:25] How has moving helped Kathleen's marriage?
[47:15] One business – book store.
[48:20] One country – France.
[49:30] One book – The War of Art by Steven Pressfield.
[50:40] One tool – Skype.
[53:30] Andrew will be doing one-on-one consultations in February.
[53:55] Tony wants to pay less tax, but he can't leave the US. Is Puerto Rico an option?
[56:15] Andrew goes over Puerto Rico's residency requirements.
[58:40] You need a US tax lawyer.
[59:20] Andrew's advice? Go to another country and create a plan B for yourself.
[1:00:35] Where do you really want to be?

ComPro Program Leaders Complete Asia Recruiting Tour
Greg and Elaine Guthrie in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Greg Guthrie, dean emeritus of the School of Computer Science, and Elaine Guthrie, Computer Science Program director, completed a successful recruiting tour in May and June, visiting Vietnam, Mongolia, China, The Philippines, and Singapore. This trip followed several shorter past tours to India, China, and Nepal.
The goal of the trip was to boost enrollment from countries that already have a history of applicants and to grow enrollment from countries where students are just beginning to discover MUM's unique Computer Professionals Program. The program combines the advanced academics of a graduate level master's degree in Computer Science with practical applications at top technical companies in the US, and includes instruction in the Transcendental Meditation® technique.
The Guthries connected with over 1,400 people via personal meetings and online streaming of some of their events. They held public talks for prospective students, met with representatives of universities and recruiters, and gave interviews to the media. They also visited embassies, where they educated employees about MUM's ComPro Program in order to facilitate the processing of student interviews and visa applications.
Prior to the trip, Ms. Guthrie and her team spent months arranging meetings with local representatives, promoting the events through their network of students and alumni as well as on social media. During the events, they were able to answer specific questions from individuals with already active applications and collect information from hundreds of potential students.
The trip was made possible by two donors, who felt their investment will bring long-term return for the ComPro Program and MUM. "We have been tracking results and there is already an increase in applications from this trip," said Professor Guthrie. "The University will be seeing the benefits of this over the next year."
The ComPro leadership hopes to continue visiting other countries to increase applications and add new countries to the 80 nations their alumni call home.

Andrea Kay McFarland is the president and founder of Kay Tutoring. She attended Yale for her B.A. in History and graduated in 2005. A Minnesota native, she also has a Master's in Education from the University of Minnesota. Starting out as a volunteer, Andrea discovered her passion for education and tutoring in 2000. Her professional tutoring career began in 2006, when she began providing formal academic and test prep services.
While she is incredibly invested in helping her students achieve academic success, Andrea and her tutors strive to make personal connections with all of their students via their interests, realizing that each one is more than just a letter grade or a test score.As an interviewer for Yale University, Andrea has also seen the other side of the college application process and is able to bring her wealth of experience to helping students prepare for interviews and write standout admissions essays.
Founded twelve years ago, Kay Tutoring offers test prep tutoring, academic tutoring and college essay & application coaching in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul) and surrounding suburbs of Minnesota. Our company has also steadily increased our online tutoring presence, and we have clients from all across the country as well as international clients! As our prices are set for Minnesota, clients outside of Minnesota, especially on the east and west coasts find we're more affordable.
In 2012, when I moved from the San Francisco Bay Area back to my hometown of Minnetonka, Minnesota, Kay Tutoring moved with me. The company grew steadily, and we now maintain anywhere between 20-30 tutors. Kay Tutoring boasts an average score increase of 5 points on the ACT and 200 points on the SAT. We've helped thousands of clients achieve their test prep tutoring goals, as well as helped them with academic courses and college applications.
In 2007, I got started in tutoring in San Francisco while waiting to apply to graduate school to get my Master's in Education. I initially worked for six different tutoring companies in order to put together 40-ish hours of work a week. I was hooked from my first student—I couldn't believe how powerful 1:1 tutoring was, especially since I was working with students who mostly were willing to do the homework I assigned outside of sessions. My favorite part of tutoring, as cliché as it may sound, is that I'm making a difference in someone's life by the work I'm doing. Increasing ACT/SAT/PSAT scores can literally change students' lives, and I feel honored to get to be a part of this important part of their college application process. Now that our company has grown, we're able to impact that many more people. I'm astounded by how some companies don't truly care about their customers—to me, it's impossible for me not to care. We treat every client as if they were one of our own family members—we want the absolute best for everyone.
Having the discipline and structure to put in the right kind of effort to do what's necessary to get a big increase in test prep. I don't want to reveal too much since the way we help them overcome this is a big secret to our success, but I'll say that it involves flashcards, an agreement over certain study habits, and detailed reports after each tutoring session. I believe we need to hold kids accountable to their "max score." In other words, I believe we should ask a lot of kids, because if we don't ask, they may not think to get there! Of course, it's ultimately up to them to want to put in the time and effort.
As I mentioned, our average increase is 5 points for ACT or 200 for SAT, so we regularly get students who increase close to that, but we also have students at the 7, sometimes 8 composite points mark; however, we also work with students who begin tutoring with scores in the 30s, who increase usually only about 2-3 points. I jokingly say to those students that they "hurt" our average, but we love working with them because they're usually extremely dedicated and willing to do everything we ask!
Gosh-that's a tough one, as there have been many changes. I'd say besides the SAT overhaul would have to be the increase in online tutoring.
Find someone who uses not only the best materials, but who has an actual curriculum to use, especially for the English and the math sections. In other words, here's what you don't want to hear a prospective tutor saying that they will do right away with your student: "We will go over a lot of practice tests." Yes, your child and your tutor should go over lots of practice tests eventually but if, and only if, you've worked through all of the grammar first (which includes memorizing everything, not just doing drills), at least a good chunk of the math, and at least the basic reading and science strategies (this should be more than just something like "do the detail questions first"). No one has asked me to say this, but I'd especially urge you to find someone who is using both of Erica's books for the verbal sections of each test.

Some records just barely nudge your consciousness, but they do so in such an intriguing manner that their tentativeness and ephemerality lure you in deeper than you expect. Such is the case with Overflow Pool by Mogador, a new project by Will Long. This prolific producer—who is best known for his profoundly meditative ambient music under the name Celer—favors the long-form, beatless approach to composition, as he lets his rigorously honed tones unspool with a gentle insistence.
Overflow Pool consists of three lengthy pieces full of lingering, aqueous chords that are spaced out by suspenseful lacunae. Each piece revolves around episodes of briskly struck piano chord clusters that are left to decay to near silence, for maximal contemplativeness. These are followed by a lower-keyed retort, as if to ground the listener and to keep her from getting overly optimistic from the preceding burst of Harold Budd-on-uppers tones. Similarities to Brian Eno's Thursday Afternoon are also evident, as Mogador methodically doles out morsels of oceanic calm geared to align your chakras like some 21st-century Stephen Halpern LP. It sounds ideal for flotation tanks, deep-tissue massages, and general relaxation.
Long observes that Mogador differs from his Celer output "because it's completely unprocessed. This is a pure room recording with no extra effects; only piano and reel-to-reel delay." The Yokohama, Japan-based musician says that his primary aim with Overflow Pool "was to make something that doesn't happen all the time—it's so sparse, that it blends into the room. It happens so seldom that it's easy to forget about. You just catch it here and there. That's the feeling I wanted." It's a feeling that's all too rare in modern music—peacefulness without sentimentality.

University of Arizona professor shot and killed by ex-student
A former student shot and killed a University of Arizona professor inside a campus building on Wednesday afternoon, the school and a report said.
The gunman opened fire inside the John W. Harshbarger Building at the university's main campus in Tucson at about 2 p.m., sending the school into a lockdown for over an hour before the suspect was arrested.
The school confirmed in a statement that one person was killed in the shooting. The victim was later identified as a professor who works in the Department of Hydrology, Tucson.com reported.
The suspect, identified as 46-year-old Murad Dervish, was captured by state police around 5 p.m. on Interstate 8 in Gila Bend — over 100 miles away.
Before the shooting, UA police received a call from someone inside of the building reporting that an ex-student was in the building without proper access and requested that officers come and escort the man out, according to police.
Former UA student Murad Dervish allegedly shot and killed a professor on campus Tuesday.
As police headed towards the building, UA police received another call that shots had been fired.
"Someone recognized the student and knew that he was not allowed inside the building," UA Police Chief Paula Balafas told Tucson.com.
When police arrived moments later, Dervish had fled the building.
Video shot by Tucson.com showed members of the Tucson Fire Department carrying a man from the building and loading him into an ambulance.
The professor, who has not yet been identified, was taken to an area hospital where he died from his wounds.
The shooting sent the UA campus in Tucson into lockdown for more than an hour.
The victim was taken to Banner-University Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead, the outlet reported.
A UA faculty member who was in the building at the time of the shooting told Tucson.com that he heard between seven and 10 gunshots.
In response to the shooting, students and staff were told to shelter in place for more than an hour. The lockdown was lifted around 3:30 p.m., according to a university police update.
Classes were canceled for the remainder of Wednesday and the university asked staff and students to leave the campus or stay in their dorms.

Double Your Pleasure: Two Brides, No Waiting!
It started out to be an ordinary meeting with a bride and her fiancé, until they explained that it would be a shared reception with her sister and her new husband. Two brides, one reception!
Party Machine Celebrations has always specialized in unique and unusual weddings, but this would be a first. Not only was it a double wedding, but it would also take place aboard a boat. I was definitely looking forward to this one!
Thanks to my friend Keith "G" Mathis for this video footage. Movie fans will recognize the music and the fan dance from the White Christmas performance by Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen. The big feathered fans were once common on the vaudeville stage, but are extremely difficult to find these days. I got these shipped in from our friends in China. Whatever it takes for a good show!
After the introductions the Star of Texas left the harbor for a nice late-summer tour of Lake Lewisville that included a trip under a beautifully lit bridge. The upper deck became one big packed dance floor, and the energy was fantastic! I noticed that a small boat was creeping along on our Port side with their lights off, so I abruptly stopped the music and had 120 wedding dancers all wave at them and shout "Hello!" The other boat moved on.
The whole ceiling became a field of stars!
We also had a pair of LED lights with bright red, green, and blue beams, that were apparently a little TOO bright for the Lake Patrol, who came for a visit and asked us to turn them off. It appears they were a hazard to navigation – not for boats, but for planes coming in to land at DFW airport. Another Party Machine first.
The evening sped past in a blink, and the crowd could have easily danced another two hours, but the Star of Texas crew had to call it a night. The captain was grateful that we did not play "I'm On A Boat." That is in keeping with our "No Cheese" policy.
If you or someone you know is planning a celebration and wants a truly unique and memorable experience, call The Party Machine at 817-294-9539. No one has more experience making weddings unique.

A MR DIY store in Negeri Sembilan was robbed by a group of suspects who are believed to be frequent break-in criminals, causing the business to suffer a loss of nearly RM10,000
According to China Press, the robbery was reported by the store's assistant manager in Mantin, Seremban, at 9am on Sunday, 27 November.
It was understood that the robbers removed the closed-circuit television (CCTV) decoder in the store and took the cash in three safes.
About RM7,000 in cash was stolen.

Police suspect that the culprits have committed robberies before because of how prepared they were while breaking into the MR DIY store
Other than removing the evidence from the CCTV, the robbers also came with a bolt cutter to cut off the gate lock before sneaking into the store.
China Press reporters noted that the store was ransacked, with products scattered over the store's three floors.
It was believed that the robbers used hammers and iron pliers found in the store to pry open the safes before taking away the cash.
Police also found that the lock on the back door was cut off, and they believed that the robbers escaped the scene through it with the stolen cash.
The case is currently being investigated under Section 457 of the Penal Code for breaking into a premises to commit burglary. If convicted, suspects could be jailed for up to five years and slapped with a fine.
The police are urging witnesses to come forward to help them in the investigation.

This painting is loosely inspired by a woman I saw yesterday standing at a bus stop. Obviously I added the cat on the leash and the outlandish hat, but something about the woman caught my attention. In that 5 seconds or so that I saw her (driving by in my car) the whole inspiration for this painting came in flash right then. It's odd in nature, but that is exactly as I wanted it. Colors represented here are yellow, red, blue, brown and silver. . I will be finishing this painting with a non-yellowing, glossy coat of varnish before shipping for added clarity of colors. This is an ORIGINAL, one of a kind painting, created by me, Kathleen A. Roberson, and I have signed it on the lower left-hand corner. As with any of my auctions, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. In whatever piece of art you choose to buy, thank you for stopping by and viewing my art, and for supporting self-representing artists.


"Founding family feuds," in which the founding family and non-founding family (head family and branch family) fight over management rights, have attracted much attention recently, but actually similar battles occurred over 100 years ago. In the present study, we shall discuss the repeated struggles for leadership by founding families and non-founding families in the Yasuda zaibatsu, while examining the relevant literature of the time concerning such cases as infighting involving the leader of the Mitsui family in the mid-Edo period, and civil disturbance regarding the head manager at the Sogo kimono store in the Meiji era (the Harimaya incident). Moreover, by examining the characteristics of founding family feuds and countermeasures, including the unrest caused by the dismissal of the general managers from fraternal life insurance, it may be possible to obtain findings that are applicable to modern corporations.
