We may have all heard this common enough phrase: "I'm not in the mood." Whether it's a defense against social events or sexual intimacy, we all know how much mood plays a part in our personal momentum.
The "I'm not in the mood" excuse might be based on avoidance, which can in turn be based on past trauma or resentment or even confusion. So "I'm not in the mood" is truly a catchphrase for "I am dealing with some personal issues around this issue or some other issues that I haven't brought to light yet."
I saw a random quote online that stated only once we actually commit to taking an action does the universe give us the energy to do it. So when we feel this lack of right mood, it's because we're not fully committed to the right action. Children similarly often don't want to go outside to play or get involved in healthy activities, but once they start they don't want to stop. So as adults, if we let our so-called moods derail activities that are sensible, reasonable, and healthy for us, it's likely that there are underlying issues we should seek to understand. To help us, Instead of being "not in the mood," we might really be craving security or quiet or solitude or warmth. By working on saying what we want or need and coming to know our moods, we can learn to regulate them so our moods are not our masters.

Restaurants and catering
Restaurants and other catering businesses will need to conform to some or all of the following legal areas:
* Alcohol sale requirements
* Entertainments licences
* Food Business requirements
* Music licences
* Smoke-free premises.
Contract with customer
A table reservation and the terms of supply of food and services including the prices are governed by the contract between the proprietor and customer. The contract will normally become binding when the costomer's booking is accepted and the customer's order is accepted by the server. The terms and conditions are rarely written so the terms will generally be those "implied" by the law, in particular the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982.
For further information on the contractual aspect, and the rights and obligations of the supplier and the customer, see :
http://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/making-a-complaint/dealing-with-restaurant-problems/your-rights
Corkage: Customers may be permitted to bring their own alcoholic drink but this is at the discretion of the proprietor. A reasonable corkage fee for such permission may be charged at common law even if no alcohol licence is held.
Pavement café licence
To place tables, chairs or other temporary furniture on the pavement, you may need:
* planning permission from the local planning authority;
* a highway licence from the local authority (e.g. the county council unless the authority is a unitary authority which will also be responsible for planning permission).
For further information, visit the local authority's website.
The Northern Ireland Assembly has passed the Licensing of Pavement Cafés Act (Northern Ireland) 2014t which will require premises owners which place temporary furniture in the open air and in a public area for use in the consumption of food or drink to obtain a payment café licence from the district council.
It will be an offence for the premises owner and any person concerned in its management to place such furniture without a licence. There will be a 'due diligence' defence.The Act will come into force on a day to be appointed by the government.
The position is similar to that in England. To place tables and chairs on the pavement or footpath outside premises, a •street café approval is required. An occupation of a road form should be completed and returned to a local area roads office. [Roads (Scotland) Act 1984, Section 58; Transport (Scotland) Act 2005, Section 19].
Further information for UK generally
For further information, see:
the British Hospitality Association
the Nationwide Caterers Association

News About This Theater
Aug 1, 2011 — Director hopes to re-open Utah Theatre late this fall
Opened as the Roxy Theatre on September 2, 1935 (Labor Day). From 1936 to 1955 it was operated by Intermountain Theatres. In 1956 it was renamed Utah Theatre.
The Utah Theatre is very well preserved, and is a wonderful little theatre to visit. The colorful marquee is kept in perfect condition and the original ticket box is still in use as well as the original concession area.
The lobby is quite shallow. The theatre does have a balcony that is always open. In the booth is a Simplex X-L projector with Ultra Stereo Processor and DTS 6D Digital playback processor.
In 2005, the Utah Theatre ceased being a first run movie theatre and was used for live performances, with ocassional classic films screened. It was closed in late-2007 for renovation work to be carried out. It reopened in the fall of 2011.

Here's a link to a pic I took in July '05, from across the street:
I was thumbing through the local paper today and there was a big article on the Utah Theatre and its new style of shows. The article is in the "Cache" subsection of the local Herald Journal, dated November 24-30, 2006. It's entitled "Out with the new, in with the old." Basically, it reports that director Gary Griffin has started showing OLD films at the theatre — films starring the likes of Jimmy Stewart, Grace Kelly, etc. He says that people are coming out of the woodwork to see the old films, and he'll continue to show the old flicks as long as people support them. A few of the favorites that have been shown recently are "Gone with the wind," "It's a wonderful life," "Casablance," and there will be a host of Christmas movies (Miracle on 34th street, for example) shown during the holiday season. Looks like the Utah Theatre is alive and well — even if it means showing reruns. Tyson

Utah media reports,such as on KSL site,indicate that Ballam's co.needs money badly,as the economy has dried up the normal deep pockets of the Utah finacial elites.Renovation on the Utah has been halted till the coffers start to fill again. How sad for Logan.By the way,the renovation will lower seating to 350.

Some pictures of the renovation & installation of the Mighty Wurlitzer Theatre Organ can be found on Utah Festival Opera's Facebook page here (these are from Summer '09):
There are a couple of pictures that reveal the Art Deco design inside the theatre that had been covered up with fabric during its time as a movie theatre.

The Roxy Theatre opened October 23, 1935 with Alice Faye and George Raft in "Every Night at Eight" supported by selected shorts. After an ownership change a new 20-year lease, the theatre became the Utah Theatre on January 14, 1956 with Victor Mature in "The Last Frontier."


Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for NARASLinda Ronstadt surprised Dolly Parton by appearing with Emmylou Harris to present her with the 2019 MusiCares Person of the Year honor Friday night in Los Angeles.
Though she's no longer able to sing because of Parkinson's disease, Ronstadt seemed to look and feel good, according to Billboard, even laughing when Dolly accidentally dropped her award on her foot.
Little Big Town hosted the musical extravaganza at the L.A. Convention Center, as a varied collection of artists paid tribute to Dolly by covering her classic songs.
"She epitomizes everything in music, fashion, film, entertainment," LBT's Phillip Sweet points out. "And just, she's a great businesswoman. But most of all, she's the most genuine, kind human being. And she exuded that to everyone. And she makes you feel like a friend, and that's the most special gift."
Garth Brooks, who did "Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You," with wife Trisha Yearwood, explains it's not necessarily easy to recreate the Dolly catalog.
"It's tough to sing Dolly songs, because she does them so well..." Garth reflects. "Dolly has some licks that nobody's ever touched. Like the Beatles have chord progressions nobody's touched yet, Dolly still has licks nobody's touched yet. She's so far ahead of her time."
Trisha agrees: "Nobody's gonna go 'Man, they really nailed that Dolly [song] better than Dolly.' No. We're just here to say thank you and pay tribute."
Jennifer Nettles teamed up with Cam and Margo Price to recreate "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind," one of the songs Dolly, Linda and Emmylou recorded for their Trio projects.
"Obviously her art speaks for itself," Jennifer says. "It touches our hearts. It feels like her songs feel like our stories and our lives."
Dolly in turn was touched by the evening's performances, delivering an eight-minute acceptance speech that was peppered with her signature humor.
Dolly herself closed the show doing "Coat of Many Colors" with Linda Perry, her collaborator on the new Dumplin' soundtrack.
In all, the evening raised $6.7 million for MusiCares, the Recording Academy's charitable arm that helps members of the music community in times of need.

Yorktown's Murr commits to Jacksonville
Murr is the fourth player from the Class 3A runner-up to commit to a Division I school.

Kendall Murr wasn't sure if she wanted to play volleyball in college. But after Yorktown's run to the state championship last November, she realized she couldn't picture her life without it.
The junior had a similar realization earlier this week after her first college visit.
Murr committed to Jacksonville on Wednesday night after a two-day trip to the Atlantic Sun school, becoming the fourth player from the Class 3A runner-up to commit to a Division I program.
"I went into the day not expecting anything, just a visit," Murr said. "But then I absolutely fell in love and knew it was the place for me. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else."
Murr was a key player for the Tigers (38-2), racking up team highs of 40 aces and 70 blocks to go along with 224 kills. The 5-foot-7 Murr played in the middle out of necessity for Yorktown last season, but plays in the back row and on the outside during club ball with Munciana.
That versatility is part of her appeal as she isn't sure which position she'll play in college.
"My coach there, Julie Darty, she straight up told me, 'I have no clue where I want you to play,'" Murr said. "It's good to be recruited as a utility player because I'll just work on every part of my game this next year."
Murr joins senior setter Mimi Arrington, who committed to Austin Peay earlier this week, and Jade York Butler) and Kate Avila (Ball State) in the Division I ranks. The three seniors are signing Friday at Yorktown.
"It just shows how great Yorktown volleyball and what Coach Bloom is doing for us, producing great players who can play at the D-I volleyball," Murr said. "It's so exciting that we all get to share in this experience."

An Open Letter To Gajendra Chauhan By Film And Television Institute of India Student
Home An Open Letter To Gajendra Chauhan By Film And Television Institute of India Student
WhatsApp us 7021309742 | [email protected]
BMS Team| | June 15, 2015 June 15, 2015 | Politics, Trending, FTII, gajendra chauhan, open letter, student| 0
Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) is India's premier film education centre which is designed to provide hands-on experience, trial and error, feedback and correction to the students who aim to be a director, cinematographer, editor, sound designer, art director, actor, screen play writer or animator. FTII students are on strike since 12th June 2015 to protest against the decision of Information and Broadcast Ministry's surprise appointment of television actor-turned-politician Gajendra Chauhan as the Chairman of the Institute as many view this appointment as an example of political largesse.
Gajendra Chauhan is an Indian actor who has worked in more than 600 Television serials and 150 movies. Gajendra Chauhan is best known for his role of "Dharamraj Yudhishthira' in the Mahabharat Television series. He has been associated with BJP for 2 decades and formally joined the party in 2004. During the Lok Sabha elections that was held last year, he extensively campaigned for the BJP in Haryana. He is appointed as the Chairman of the Institute's governing council ahead of lyricist Gulzar and film-makers Shyam Beneal and Adoor Gopalakrishnan who were as well shortlisted by the Information and Broadcasting Ministry.
Below is the open letter written by one of the students of FTII to Mr. Gajendra Chauhan:
(Disclaimer – This is an expression of an individual student and in no way is representation of FTII's official position)
Dear Mr Chauhan,
I am choosing to address you personally after listening to you respond on several TV news debates about the recent opposition against your appointment as Chairman at FTII. I am a student of FTII and part of the protest.
When we first heard about your appointment we knew little about you except those of us who had grown up on 'Mahabharata' the B.R. Chopra serial. We then began to look for more information to get to know your background and work profile. When we did, we saw a huge anomaly in your body of work and the very principles and aesthetic, FTII stands for. We began to smell a rat. Given your political affiliations and given the fact that the ruling party is becoming notorious for making completely irrational and high-handed appointments since it has come to power, it was clear to us you were meant to be a puppet of the Government and chosen despite your capabilities and inspite of your body of work. The protest wasn't against you personally, coz we never knew you or about you. You, as we saw, are unfit for the job (reasons below) but more important than that this is a strike against the increasing interference of the ruling party to drive their agenda throughout the country without considering the principles of democracies and those of the said institutions. I think, this may satisfy the 'surprise' you felt when you heard about the protest before even you joining. This protest was not about you, Mr Chauhan as an individual. This may also satisfy a certain insecurity you may have, going by your own admission of you being a 'chhota aadmi', of depriving you of your chance to shine and become 'big'. (Given your political affiliations I am sure you will receive a much better post, as you again by your admission iterated, that, 'If you had to use your political power than why FTII, why not a big and more important post?' I hope you see the contradictions here, Mr Chauhan. First you say give me a chance to progress, then you imply FTII isn't that important a place to progress with. Strange.)
Now it is comments like these that compel me to write this letter. Because, now that we have heard you speak, we know you better and now that we know you we are dead sure you are wrong for this post. Before I tell you why you are wrong, let me educate you a bit about FTII and what this institution means to cinema as well. On the way you may learn something about cinema too, because as you may not be aware, 'Khuli Khidki' isn't exactly cinema.
What FTII stands for –
Freedom of thought – We are allowed, encouraged and groomed to think independently to understand the world around us and our own art without any agendas, something I don't see many institutions that can boast of. We are also taught to respect each other's opinions as artists. Do you see yourself being able to encourage that?
Freedom of speech – We are allowed, encouraged and groomed to express our independent opinions without fear of repercussions, disturbing the status quo or upsetting power equations. This, you may not know, is a very important constitutional right of every citizen of India and the cornerstone of democracy which the ruling party you are associated with is trying to systematically euthanize.
Individuality and unbridled self-expression – FTII grooms students as individual artists above their technical domain, constantly keeping in mind that it is the person who creates and not technology. We are pushed to develop and express ourselves through our art for constant evolution irrespective of our specialisations. Having said that, FTII produces the best technical experts the industry has, on a yearly basis too.
Justice and fairness in all areas to all sections of society based on the philosophical principles of the Socialist Democracy we are. FTII has always stood for equality and justice for all irrespective of class, creed or gender and this has shown in the films it produces. Cinema, you see, is a wonderful tool of mass communication and if it can be used for propagating ideas of equality and justice, then why not?! These ideas don't go down very well with your political party unfortunately and that is worrisome for us.
Only film institute in India to have a global perspective on cinema as a pure aesthetic medium without any mercenary considerations. It is an art form and it is upheld as one here, without compromises. Cinema here is taught from the lessons and learnings of world greats by people who understand it as an art-form, to students who want to become artists not assembly line film-makers. This requires a certain bent of mind and commitment to cinematic arts. Do you think you have it?
The only film institute in India that considers cinema as a vehicle as much of self-expression as much as a mirror to the society we live in. Cinema, for us, cannot be divorced from a personal voice and the socio-political context within which we live. Cinema, for us is about comment and expression not distribution and titillation. Do you understand this distinction?
Now you may say, you will uphold all these principles. Fine, we may consider your earnestness to get your 'chance' but what about the fact that one must understand these principles to execute them? Your body of work and now more importantly, your responses, clearly show you don't. If you still don't get it, let me tell you why you are wrong for this post –
You have no connection whatsoever with FTII to understand this space. You are not an alumnus nor have you worked or associated professionally with students or artists from here. I doubt you have even visited this place ever. You may say you will learn on the job, but Sir we aren't talking about hiring an intern. YOU are supposed to be guiding US, deciding our future. Without knowing what this place is all about, how will you?
You have nothing in your body of work that shows any kind of affiliation to the philosophy or aesthetics of cinema we practice here. If you haven't studied or practiced then you don't understand, you see. Then how will you show us the way ahead? How will you approve, disapprove and draft policies, make decisions, appoint people to take our learning forward in the way it should be done?
You have nothing else in your body of work to show any kind of inclination to arts and aesthetics, or an intellectual or questioning bent of mind. This especially, is disastrous for both of us. You may not know, but the key ingredient in learning and teaching, especially of arts and aesthetics is a constantly questioning mind.
And because of these three points above, your political affiliation troubles us a lot. Because a fourth standard student can see why you are not fit for this post but the Government of India has handed it to you on a platter. Hence, even if you are sincere this very lack of understanding can easily make you a pawn in the hands of the Govt to push their decisions on to the institution. In that case, for your own peace of mind and job security with your bosses I think this could be unhealthy for you. Why would you want a job where you can't prove your own mettle as you so badly seem to want to do? Please seriously re-consider and withdraw.
If we talk of pure heritage, the post of the Chairman has been held by the following – (Please google them if you don't know of them and you will know more about why you are wrong for this place.)
Adoor Gopalkrishnan – Director, writer and producer, FTII alumnus and 16 National Awards, Padma Shri, Padma Vibhushan and Dadasaheb Phalke awardee. (The last, you may not know, is the highest honour conferred in the field of cinema.) If awards don't cut it for you, it doesn't for some of us either, then maybe the fact that he started the 'New Cinema' movement in Kerala that synthesized the mainstream and so-called art cinema for a wider appreciation of cinema as an artform.
Shyam Benegal – Director, writer, faculty at FTII before he became the Chairman twice. 12 National Awards, Padma Shri, Padma Vibhushan and the Dadasaheb Phalke Lifetime Achievement Award recipient. His films have been nominated at Cannes, Berlin and Moscow in competition sections. But more importantly he was a huge influence and constituent of the parallel cinema movement in India which changed the shape of cinema forever.
Girish Karnad – Actor, director, writer, playwright, recipient of 9 National Awards, Padma Shri, Padma Vibhushan, Sahitya Akademi and Janpeeth Award (highest literary honour of India). He marked the blooming and maturing of Kannada literature in the sixties.
U.R.Ananthamurthy – Novelist, playwright, poet and literary critic, Padma Bhushan, Sahitya Akademi, Jnanpeeth awardee. Finalist of the Man Booker prize. He had no association with cinema and we protested his appointment too despite holding his body of work and the power of his intellect in high regard.
Saeed Mirza – Director, writer, novelist, producer, FTII alumnus, 3 National Awards winner and a very important film-maker whose films gave impetus and shape to the parallel cinema movement of the 70's.
And now some GK about FTII in the last decade, actually just last two years is enough. I wouldn't have taken the pain but I read you mention somewhere that Rajkumar Hirani was the last film-maker of reckoning FTII produced. Not so long ago, in 2009, 'Vihir', a terrific Marathi film was chosen at Berlin in the competition section and it was made by an FTII alumnus. Last year, in 2014,'Killa', a Marathi film has won the Crystal Bear at Berlin. And you know, the director was a cinematography student here, by the way. He also shot 'Masaan' which won two awards at Cannes this year. Yes, two. And to talk mainstream, he has also shot the soon-to-release Ajay Devgan starrer 'Drishyam', and this guy is hardly in his early thirties. Another film in competition this year at Cannes was 'Chauthi Kooth', made by another FTII alumnus. For God's sake our diploma films have been selected in competition at Berlin this year, 'Kamakshi' being a case in point. Oh by the way, 'Chitrashala', another short film selected at Berlin this year is made by Amit Dutta, an FTII alumnus again, and an avant-garde and important film-maker of our times.
(If you can, please note how your reference points are so mainstream that you are not even aware of the wonderful and important work FTII alumni have been doing and which have even made recent headlines.)
I can go on, Sir. But I think I have explained myself in so much detail that you must have got the point. And in case you didn't, it proves once again why you just aren't right for this post. Apologies but we can do little about that except protest until you step down.
Most Sincerely
An FTII student
(Source: The open letter was originally published here)
Well after the FTII students went on strike, Gajendra Chauhan clarified all the accusations saying "People always try to pull you down but I will prove myself. I appeal to all those who doubt my credibility to give me at least a year to perform my duties and I will change their opinion."
What do you think? Will the decision be changed? Or will Mr. Gajendra Chauhan be able to discuss the issue with the students and sort the matter amicably? Share your thoughts in comments.

Merial shelter medicine clerkship gets grant

"Do you want to donate $1 to help a homeless pet today?" We've all heard that request after filling up our shopping cart with goodies for our own four-legged friends, and as the generous animal lovers that we are, most of us say yes more often than not. The Merial Shelter Animal Medicine Clerkship at UF is now the beneficiary of some of that generosity through a $4613 grant from PetCo Foundation.
"Bully Breed Bailout" is a project aimed at providing free spay-neuter surgery for adult dogs belonging to local animal rescue agencies. The project targets dogs that have the physical appearance of a "bully breed" – mixed-breed dogs that resemble Labrador retrievers, mastiffs, boxers, bulldogs, Staffordshire terriers and the like. Dr. Brian DiGangi, a clinical assistant professor of shelter medicine at UF, said he applied for the grant because he recognized there was a specific need in the community.
"In animal shelters across the country, bully breeds are at a much higher risk for euthanasia as compared to other types of dogs," he said. "We also know that veterinary expenses, particularly spay-neuter, are one of the biggest limiting factors for rescue groups in moving more animals through their adoption programs. We hope that by taking these costs out of the equation, more of these great dogs will be selected for adoption by local rescue groups and ultimately fewer of them will face negative outcomes in the sheltering system."
Although the past couple years have seen tremendous enhancements in the life-saving capacity of our county shelter, those sentiments hold true right here in Alachua County, DiGangi said.
"Bully breeds represent only about 25 percent of all shelter dog intakes but nearly half of all canine euthanasias," he said. "In addition, while the vast majority of dogs are saved by transfer to local rescue groups, only about 30 percent of the dogs transferred out represent these breeds."
In only its first few weeks of operation, the program has already begun to make a difference.
"This grant has allowed us to take in more bully breed dogs with the knowledge that we can obtain free and quality spay-neuters," said Susan Benson, president of the Williston Animal Group, which receives services from the Merial Shelter Animal Medicine Clerkship Program. "As a result, we were able to rescue two dogs recently and have already adopted one out to a great new home. Programs like these are crucial to rescue groups who rely on volunteers and donations to save and re-home thousands of dogs."
Plenty of Pitbulls is another all-volunteer rescue group out of Gainesville that has benefited from the program.
"Since we are supported entirely by donations and small fundraisers, cost is a major limiting factor in our ability to help dogs," said Anna Peterson, a group volunteer. "We rely heavily on the Shelter Medicine program. The PetCo grant will make a difference in our decisions and enable us to take in dogs that we could not help without this extra support."
The program will continue until all the grant money is spent.
"We are hoping to see a 25 percent increase in the number of adult bully breed dogs that present to our service for spay-neuter surgery," said DiGangi, who estimates that the grant will provide enough funds to spay or neuter about 100 dogs. "So the next time you wonder if that last minute, check-out line donation will really make a difference, rest assured that it does, and it is doing so by saving lives right in your own backyard."
The Merial Shelter Animal Medicine Clerkship is an elective clinical rotation for junior and senior veterinary students at UF that seeks to assist veterinary students in developing their basic surgical skills through service learning and community outreach. Services are limited to animals under the care of local animal rescue groups.

QSuper steps up to support Darkness to Daylight
Driven by her personal experience with domestic and family violence, QSuper employee Te Iwi Walker ran as part of the 18-strong QSuper team participating in the Challenge to raise funds and awareness.
As a White Ribbon Ambassador, and an advocate in her community and workplace, Te Iwi acknowledges the difficulty for victims to know what help is available and says awareness and education programs are vital.
"For me, my own experience was when I was very young with a partner I had in my early twenties, and from witnessing the experiences of friends and family members. Today, with maturity and life experience, and now that I have my own family, I can look back and recognise and understand what I went through.
"I want to leverage my experience, openly speak about it and help people understand that violence, in any form, is a completely unacceptable element in our community."
With all funds raised through the Challenge going towards the prevention of domestic violence through workplace and community partnerships and awareness raising activities, Te Iwi says she is enormously proud to work for an organisation that has taken such a bold and public stance against domestic and family violence.
"I am so proud to be an employee of QSuper, not only because of our work culture and values, but because of the partnerships we have with organisations like Australia's CEO Challenge, DVConnect and RizeUp, which are all helping to build and promote an environment where domestic and family violence is not tolerated.
"We spend a lot of our lives at work, and to be able to support employees who may be experiencing or witnessing family or domestic violence is an opportunity to impact and influence positive change. As an employer, it's a huge responsibility, but it's absolutely crucial."
As Queensland's oldest and largest superannuation fund, and a truly member-focused organisation, QSuper is passionate about playing a greater role in the community and giving something back to make a real difference to the lives of Queenslanders.
With so many of its members supporting victims of domestic violence in their roles as police, nurses, emergency services, teachers, child safety and legal officers, QSuper is committed to supporting frontline services and helping to keep victims safe throughout Queensland.
QSuper is proud to have a partnership with domestic violence hotline, DVConnect – the leading state-wide crisis response service that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This includes QSuper funding an additional full-time telephone support officer to answer up to 4,000 more calls annually from Queenslanders in need of support.
QSuper is a major sponsor of Darkness to Daylight 2018.


It's pretty small, but I did have fun quickly clicking though the selection of pics from Canon Europe's The Other Side of Fashion promotion, in which they had more than 100 designers, artists and other fashion notables snap some photos for their website and an accompanying magazine. (It's done in support of the Red Cross.) I think the one above by London College of Fashion head Dr. Frances Corner is my favorite so far.
Though I also enjoyed this one below by Jodie Kidd. It's always nice to know that sometimes models can't fit into the sample sizes either. Thanks to Style Bubble for the link.

By Nicole Carlino on
Stepping into his new role as Virgin Hotels' VP of development, Alex Andjel is optimistic about the brand's future. With one hotel open in Chicago, and several others slated to open in the next couple of years—specifically, a property in Nashville in 2017 and hotels in New York, Palm Springs and Dallas in 2018—the London-based executive is charged with overseeing Virgin Hotels' expansion into Europe.
Prior to this role, Andjel most recently served as VP of development for YOTEL, focusing on Europe, the Middle East and Asia. He has also served as director of Montpelier Hotels Ltd., a hospitality investment and corporate finance advisory firm, and director of development for Bridgehouse Capital, a private equity company with total assets in excess of $1 billion. More recently, he spent five years with Orient-Express Hotels Ltd. where he managed more than $500 million of acquisition, financing and dispositions of non-core assets.
Hotel Business caught up with Andjel to learn more about the burgeoning hotel brand's European plans.
You recently joined the Virgin Hotels team. Why did this position and this company appeal to you? Being asked to join such a global brand was always going to be a difficult opportunity to pass up on. Then, after visiting the first hotel in Chicago—the conversion of the historic Dearborn Bank Building—it was very apparent that, once again, the Virgin Group had managed to intelligently enter a very crowded hotel market with a defined vision that sets itself apart from the competitors. Immediately I could see how successful Virgin Hotels would be in Europe and thought, 'Why hasn't this happened already?' and then, shortly thereafter, lucky me!
What are your major short-term objectives in this role? To leverage the positive momentum in the United States, with multiple additional projects under development, and get the message out that Virgin Hotels is 100% committed to establishing a presence in key European gateway cities.
Do you have any long-term objectives you can share? My long-term objective is to ensure this is another business vertical that the Virgin Group can be proud of, and one that offers the consumer something different.
How are you parlaying your previous experience to be successful in this position? I've been fortunate to lead development for both an ultra-luxury company and an affordable lifestyle hotel brand, and therefore have had the benefit of experiencing a wide range of real estate transactions. This has prepared me to know how to extract value out of some of the more complicated real estate sites.
What has surprised you thus far about being part of this company? What has surprised me is the sincere excitement everyone I meet has for wanting to see the brand flourish in Europe. People have been almost American with their enthusiasm!
How would you describe your plans when it comes to development—opportunistic, strategic, etc.? Opportunities do not line up obediently. We have a core set of target cities that our board has already approved, but maintaining a flexible approach and being able to react quickly to the right opportunity should stand us in good stead. We are happy to launch the brand in top cities such as Rome, Barcelona, Manchester or Edinburgh—although I am sure Sir Richard Branson would be delighted with a flagship hotel in London.
Overall, what's your opinion on the development landscape in Europe right now? What are the major challenges or opportunities? The most common challenges typically are the disconnect between owners' price expectations of their existing assets versus the required return thresholds of investors; having to deal with both historic and protected buildings as well as space constraints; and adapting our product to meet these challenges whilst still retaining the core brand standards.
What do you look for in a site/location/building? Overall, do you see more opportunity when it comes to new-builds or conversions? Keep it simple—accessibility, authenticity and appeal. In Europe, almost all opportunities are likely to be conversions of either existing hotels, offices or another commercial space.
The company is still in the nascent stages of building the brand. How important would you say the first few European properties will be to introducing the hotel brand to guests and investors? It's vital we don't ever compromise on delivering properties that get rid of everything guests hate about hotels. Our intention is to deliver a personalized experience that meets the demands of the modern consumer.
Should we expect anything different from Virgin Hotels in Europe as compared to its offerings in the U.S.? The product offering will retain the essence of what Virgin Hotels is all about—functionality, efficiency and intelligent technology—but by default we will be looking at a more boutique product (circa 150-200 keys) given the space constraints.

Multiverse Magazine, published by Hell Freezes Over through Ardden Entertainment, will be compiled and edited by industry veteran Mike Conroy and will feature news, reviews, interviews with creators, and previews of upcoming comic book titles. The magazine debuts at an introductory rate of $4.99 and is available for preorder through this month's Previews.
With the introduction of Multiverse and the 20th Anniversary of Image Comics, it's hard not to feel a bit nostalgic for the powerhouse years of the 90s considering the anniversary of Image and the return of semi-independent magazines like Multiverse and CLiNT. Hopefully sales start justifying the nostalgia.
Below is a piece of the preview art by Todd McFarlane for February's debut edition of Multiverse Magazine.

The State of the World's Mangroves 2022
Today the Global Mangrove Alliance (GMA) released their annual report, The State of the World's Mangroves 2022, a compilation of the most current information available on what we know about mangrove forests and what's being done to reverse the downward trends impacting the coastal trees and the local communities who depend on them. We now have access to more extensive and reliable knowledge via data updates to Global Mangrove Watch maps–the evidence base informing the Global Mangrove Alliance–that brings coverage from 2016 up to 2020. With this new insight, we can now say that there are 147,000km2of mangroves remaining worldwide, an area about the size of Bangladesh. The same maps show loss and gains over time. A net 5,245km2of mangrove forest has been lost since 1996, driven by a combination of direct human impacts such as clearance and conversion, but also by harder to manage changes driven by erosion, inundation, or storms. While average losses over the last decade have fallen to 0.04% per year and there have been considerable gains in river mouths and deltas, action is still a priority to halt further loss, protect what remains, and restore what has been lost. Determination to safeguard mangroves is growing at all levels of society but more can still be done. It is increasingly clear that national and local stakeholders will be the catalyst in implementing improved management, conservation, and restoration of mangroves. This understanding has led the GMA to develop a new initiative, National Chapters. Chapters in eight countries are now bringing together GMA members and local partners on the ground with the ambition to connect the broader GMA goals to a targeted local context.
According to Mark Spalding, Senior Marine Scientist for The Nature Conservancy, "The 2022 edition of The State of the World's Mangroves describes a surge in our understanding of mangroves globally and multiple points of hope: mangrove loss is declining, we know more about protecting these ecosystems than ever before, and partnerships and global awareness are ever stronger. The tide has yet to turn on loss but we are dedicated to maintaining momentum to support mangrove forests to minimize the impacts of irreversible climate change and the wider biodiversity crisis."
The report's highlights:
•Preventing just 1% of mangrove loss results in two hundred million tons of carbon locked away. Restoration of losses since 1996 could safeguard carbon in soil and aboveground biomass equivalent to 1.27gigatons of CO2–equating to over 520 million barrels of oil, or the annual emissions of 49 million cars in the USA.
•The GMA goal of "restoring half" of the 8,183km2 of restorable area by 2030, particularly in Southeast Asia, could result in an additional 25 billion commercial marine fish and shellfish and benefit 4.1 million small-scale fishers and countless communities that rely on mangroves for their livelihoods.
•Mangroves prevent more than $65 billion in property damages from storms and reduce flood risk to some 15 million people every year
•Mangroves are the most efficient carbon capture and storage systems on the planet. They currently store carbon that's equivalent to over 21 billion tons of CO2
The Global Mangrove Alliance released the report in anticipation of critical convenings including, New York climate week, the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, the UNFCCC climate COP27, and Convention on Biological Diversity COP16. Alliance members are calling on local and national government leaders to accelerate their efforts to protect and restore mangroves and challenging the private sector to increase investment in keeping mangroves standing.

We've got a really outstanding speaker, a lady called Jo Gambi, for our Alpha Launch Event which is on Saturday 20th September at 7.30pm.
In 2005 Jo and her husband Rob became the first married couple to climb the '7 Summits' (the highest mountain on each continent) and ski to the Poles. Rob was also the first Australian, and Jo the first female, to achieve this. Rob is also the first cancer survivor to climb the '7 Summits', and Jo is the second British woman to have climbed Everest's North/North East Ridge. Together they hold the Guinness World Record for the fastest (and first) '7 Summits' ascent by a married couple, and Jo holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest '7 Summits' ascent by a female. Rob and Jo have two boys - Ben (3) and Sam (1). Sam was born with a rare complex neuro - behavioural disorder called Prader Willi Syndrome. They are by all accounts a remarkable couple!
I recently read Jo's book, "Holding On", which made me realise their mountain climbing adventure was even more amazing than it sounds in that short description - especially that they did it all whilst Rob was in remission from his second bout of cancer.
It's going to be fascinating to hear Jo tell her story, and especially how her faith impacts and informs everything else which has happened and is happening in her life.
Tickets will go on sale nearer the time. For now please put the date in your diary, and be thinking about who you are going to invite to what is going to be a superb evening.
Ps - Bear Grylls says of Jo and Rob 'A great read, great story, and a great love…what champions you both are' - what higher recommendation could you want!

Go to scenery, set the filter to western, and then type w in search.
I can confirm this behavior. Not sure why turning on a filter (any filter) and then typing w (or anything) takes so much longer for it to sort then not have a filter on and typing something in the search field. The delay is much more pronounced (like 10-15 seconds with filter and less than 5 seconds without filter).
Thanks for the report. I have reproduced the issue and passed the information on for further investigation.

The best places in the world to honeymoon in January.
Paradise with a view. St. Lucia is not only home to glorious beaches but also the astounding peaks of the pitons and diamond falls. This is what you imagine when you think of a classic island honeymoon.
The Atacama is ruggedly beautiful but is also home to high-end resorts like Tierra Atacama. If you arrive in time to spend New Years join the party on the streets of Valparaíso.
I have yet to go but If only ever heard rave reviews about Brazil and its welcoming people. Brazil boasts beautiful beaches, friendly welcoming locals, great weather and great parties and dancing. Again, if you make it for New Years make sure you're in Rio.
Hawaii is made up of 6 main islands. Kauai's got beaches while Oahu is famous for surfing. Island hop to experience them all and find your personal favourite. Be warned though, there are no direct flights from Dublin so your trip will take about 20/24 hours.
There's nowhere quite like India. Stay in a resort in Goa, Kerala or the Andaman islands for a luxury experience or prepare for a culture shock and embrace the rich culture, varied landscapes, very cheap food, tiger reserves, deserts and temples.
Get cosy in Scotland and experience the rugged beauty of the highlands paired with the cultural and culinary delights of Glasgow & Edinburgh. In January Scotland hosts the biggest fire festival in Europe which never fails to get positive reviews.
As well as sandy beaches, palm trees and fabulous food Mexico is home to the largest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the Americas. Opt to go for full on luxury in Las Cabos, or experience more authentic Mexican culture - or of course a mixture of both.
A trek to get to, but once you do it's all palm trees, sea salt and coconuts. A real beach paradise and the second biggest coral reef in the world, so perfect for crystal clear snorkelling & diving.
If you're still not sure when is best to go, or where you should go depending on weather, then check out our handy month by month guide to give you an overview of all the best places.

Kitakaro Sapporo Honkan (北菓楼札幌本館) is a confectionery store near Former Hokkaido Government Office Building in Chuo ward, Sapporo city and opened in 2016. There is a head office in Sunagawa city. A building is a stone library built in 1926 and is renovated by Mr. Tadao Ando (安藤忠雄). There is the confectionery store on the first floor and is a cafe on the second floor. It features large bookshelves utilized an atmosphere of the library.
Because a former co-worker who came from Tokyo was surprised at good value for the price of a cake set, I decided to visit here. It was almost full when I visited around 14:00. After all it was popular. I took a seat and read a menu, and ordered the cake set (ケーキセット). The price was JPY 750.
This cake set is a cake with a chiffon cake, a cup of an ice cream and a drink. Customers can choose a kind of the cake (cream puff) among 10 kinds of the cakes. Speaking of Kitakaro, the cream puff is famous, too, so I could not decide which to choose the cream puff among 3 kinds of the cream puff. I was advised by a waitress and chose Biscuit that is a rare type of tearing the cream puff and eating the cream puff.
A puff shell of the Biscuit seems to contain cheese and it features that it is salty. It went well with sweet cream and was tasty! The puff shell was moist firmness and was like a bun rather than the cream puff. The chiffon cake that the former co-worker prized very much was very fluffy and was good! Blue-berried honeysuckle sauce was sprinkled over the ice cream and was good, too.

Are Thoughts Ever Experiences?
American Philosophical Quarterly, 54:1 (2017), 46-58.
Click for paper
The recent debate in philosophy of mind over whether thought has its own distinctive phenomenology, so-called cognitive phenomenology (CP), has led to a sharp division between proponents and skeptics of CP. This paper critically examines an ambitious argument against the existence of CP, which is based on a particular view of the temporal structure of thought. The argument, roughly, is that experiences, those mental entities that have phenomenology, persist as processes, while thoughts, on the other hand, are non-processive states or events. So no thoughts are experiences. The present paper attacks the claim that thoughts never temporally unfold as processes.
can phenomenology determine the content of thought?

According to a number of popular intentionalist theories in philosophy of mind, phenomenology is essentially and intrinsically intentional: phenomenal properties are identical to intentional properties of a certain type, or at least, the phenomenal character of an experience necessarily fixes a type of intentional content. Meanwhile, a number of philosophers have argued for the existence of a proprietary phenomenology of thought, so-called cognitive phenomenology (CP). The purpose of this paper is to argue that these intentionalist and cognitive phenomenology views make surprisingly uncomfortable bedfellows. I contend that the combination of the two views is incompatible with our best theories of how our concepts are structured. So cognitive phenomenology cannot determine the contents of our thoughts.
Cognitive Phenomenology, Contrast Arguments, and Self-Knowledge
The popular thesis that there exists a distinctive phenomenology of thought, so-called cognitive phenomenology (CP), admits of two different readings that are often run together, what I call the Qualitative Thesis and the Modal Thesis. In this paper I will survey the two major types of argument in the literature for accepting the existence of CP: the Phenomenal Contrast Argument and the Self-Knowledge Argument. The primary purpose of the paper is to argue that while the balance of the evidence may, just about, favor some version of the Qualitative Thesis, the sort of cognitive phenomenology for which the standard arguments provide evidence falls well short of supporting the more radical Modal Thesis. A secondary ambition of this paper is to draw attention to the way these two argumentative strategies relate to each other in the standard case for CP.
Cognitive Phenomenology on the Fringe
Philosophers are sharply divided on the question of whether thought has its own distinctive phenomenology, so-called cognitive phenomenology (CP). Most advocates of CP argue for the existence of phenomenal properties that are "proprietary" to thought, in the sense of determining or constituting the representation of thought's contents. CP skeptics deny that there exists any such thing, restricting phenomenal properties to the sensory-perceptual domain. In this paper I examine the prospects of a modest type of cognitive phenomenology that does not implicate thought content, "Moderate CP", which is inspired by William James's notion of "fringe consciousness". The Moderate CP account I develop should be of interest to open-minded people on both sides of the cognitive phenomenology debate and to all those on the fence, insofar as I am attempting to offer a plausible and genuinely distinct middle way between the two extremes.

Sarah Palin & Isaiah 3:12
God Does Raise Up Women Leaders!
May a Christian vote for Sarah Palin? Amazingly, some in the Christian community say "No!", because…..she is a woman!
Male supremacist Christians (they prefer the prettified word, "complementarians") point to Isaiah 3:12 in King James' version of the Bible (KJV) and triumphantly crow that this proves that "women in positions of authority are the curse of God and shows we are under Judgment of God." And, King James' version of Isaiah 3:12 does say:
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. [italics added]
Well, well! But we will analyze Isaiah 3:12 using Facts and Logic:
The renderings of Isaiah 3:12 in KJV (1611) and The Geneva Bible (1599) are similar; but KJV omits the Reformers' Notes:
Because the wicked people were more addicted to their princes than to the commandments of God, he shows that he would give them such princes, by whom they would have no help, but they would be manifest tokens of his wrath, because they would be fools and effeminate. [spelling modernized & italics added]
Effeminate. The New Strong's Concordance gives both 'ishshah & nashiym as the Hebrew word translated "women" in the KJV of Isaiah 3:12; and says 'ishshah is the feminine of 'iysh, a man as a male person, or 'enowsh, a mortal. Is this why the Reformers said, in their margin notes in The Geneva Bible, that Isaiah 3:12 referred to princes who were effeminate?
Now let us consider Strong's tender of the Hebrew word, nashiym. The Old Testament was written in ancient Hebrew, a language which omitted vowels in writings. Thus, in translating words in ancient Hebrew, the question is always, "What vowel goes here?" To illustrate, look at the English word "p_t". What vowel goes in the middle: a, e, i, o, or u? Do you see?
So! Look now at nashiym: Adam Clarke's Commentary points out that only a vowel distinguishes "noshim" (usurers) from "nashim" (women), and thus Isaiah 3:12 might be rendered:
The collectors of grapes shall be their oppressors; and usurers (noshim, instead of nashim, women) shall rule over them….
So! What's the correct vowel? "a"? Or is it "o"?
Well! Vowels were added to the Hebrew Scripture between the 6th to 10th centuries A.D. by the Masoretes, who were Jewish scholars at the Talmudic academies in Babylonia and Palestine. (See: Encyclopaedia Britannica Micropaedia, 15th ed., Vol. VI, p. 671). They are the ones who inserted an "a" instead of an "o"! What criteria did the Masoretes use in deciding which vowels to insert? Was their selection of "a" over "o" in n_shim guided by their hatred of women? WE DON'T KNOW! I expect male supremacists never gave this a thought. But the Masoretes' vowel enriched version of the Hebrew Scripture was the basis of King James' version of the Old Testament. And until the appearance in 1970 of the New English Bible's completely new translation of the Old Testament (Oxford Univ. Press), the Masoretes' version has dominated the field, most later English translations being mere revisions of the KJV.
Now look at the Hebrew word at Isaiah 3:12 which KJV translates as "children": The Power Bible CD4.5 says `alal is the word (Strong's #5953). However, `alal appears in 17 other verses in the Bible where it is rendered "wrought", "glean", "mock", "abuse", "defile", "practice", "done" or "affect". Only in Isaiah 3:12 is `alal rendered "children"! Isn't that odd. Was "children" chosen because it "fit" with "nashim"? (God's Word To Women, by Dr. Katharine Bushnell, Lesson 77, paras 621& 622)
The New Strong's Concordance handles it differently: Strong's chose different Hebrew words for "children": #5768, `owlel or `olal! So! Which is the "real" Hebrew word: `alal? `owlel? `olal? Change the vowels and can't it be either? Other translators thought so:
The Peshitta (George M. Lamsa's Translation) renders Isaiah 3:12:
The princes shall pluck my people out, and woman shall rule over them. O my people, your leaders have caused you to err, and disturbed the way of your paths.
The Vulgate (Douay translation) renders Isaiah 3:12:
As for my people, their oppressors have stripped them, and women have ruled over them. O my people, they that call thee blessed, the same deceive thee, and destroy the way of thy steps.
The Septuagint was translated into Greek from the original Hebrew during the 3rd & 2nd centuries B.C., 800 -1,300 years before the Masoretes inserted their selected vowels. (Encyclopaedia Britannica Micropaedia, 15th ed., Vol. IX, p. 63)
The Septuagint renders Isaiah 3:12 (The Apostolic Bible Polyglot, Translation of Charles Van der Pool):
O my people, your exactors (praktores) glean you, and the ones exacting (apaitountes) lord over you; O my people, the ones declaring you blessed mislead you, and the roads of your feet they disturb.
The Revised English Bible (REB) (Oxford Univ. Press, 1992), which consulted the Septuagint, renders Isaiah 3:12:
Moneylenders strip my people bare,
and usurers lord it over them.
My people, those who guide you are
leading you astray
and putting you on the path to ruin.
Do you see? And look at the context of Isaiah 3:12! In 3:14-15, God indicts the elders and officers – not "women and children" – who "ravaged the vineyard", "grind the faces of the poor", and steal their stuff!
The Bible gives various examples of women who served, with God's blessing, as leaders. The Reformers' Notes to Isaiah 3:12 in the Geneva Bible, Adam Clark's Commentary, the Septuagint, and the REB's rendering of Isaiah 3:12 are consistent with God's actual practice of raising women as leaders.
But the Masoretes' version of Isaiah 3:12 contains an unexplained selection by them of an "a" over an "o". King James' version, which is based on the Masoretes' text instead of the much earlier Septuagint, perpetuates the unexplained selection.
King James' version mistranslates Isaiah 3:12. Its rendering doesn't fit the context of Isaiah Ch. 3; and it contradicts God's actual practice, as revealed in many passages, of raising up women leaders. And remember: They mistranslated the word they rendered as, "children", in order to make it "fit" their translation of n_shim as "women". Is that not a shocking thing?
The other passages on which male supremacists rely have been equally mistranslated and distorted by them; and their arguments on these other passages are as easily refuted. Why even a woman can do it!
So! May a Christian vote for Sarah Palin? You betcha!
