Western Cape to become conferencing hub
March 3, 2016 /in Uncategorized /by Danielle Goldman
Conferencing in the Western Cape is off to a good start in 2016, with two bids worth almost R2 billion (€118 million) secured.
According to Tim Harris, CEO of Wesgro, the official destination marketing, investment and trade promotion agency for the province, the World Ophthalmology Congress will take place at the CTICC in 2020 and the International Fiscal Association in 2022.

"These two conferences combined will bring a total of 16300 delegates to the province generating some R262 million (€15 million) for the economy."
Harris said conferencing and events was an increased focus of the organisation that had a dedicated conferencing team who were tasked with promoting Cape Town and the Western Cape to the world.
Harris said business confidence in Cape Town in particular was growing and it was being seen as a world-class conferencing destination.

Durban benefits from airlift boost
Four new airlines launched services to King Shaka International Airport last year. What is behind this sudden increase in interest in KZN? Sue van Winsen investigates.
Since opening in 2010, Durban's King Shaka International Airport (KSIA) has been on a major drive to attract international airlines. While initially growth was slow, with just Emirates and Air Mauritius operating scheduled services, in the last year Turkish Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines, Qatar Airways and Proflight all commenced flights to the airport.
Passenger volumes also continue to grow, with a 6.1% increase in international passenger traffic in the 2014/2015 financial year compared with same period in 2013/2014. This follows on from a 22.5% increase in international passenger volumes in the year prior.
One of the reasons cited for the sudden increase in interest is the recent hosting of the World Route Development Forum, which saw aviation stakeholders from some 150 different countries converging on Durban in September last year. Another reason is that Durban has been awarded the rights to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games, which Jonathan Minnett, Qatar Airways Country Manager SA, said was one of the reasons the airline had sought to expand its presence.

The New President of Tanzania Wins Hearts of Tanzanians and Africans
The 11th of February marked 100 days since John Pombe Magufuli was sworn in as the 5th President of Tanzania. So far, most Tanzanians feel satisfied with his performance. A survey commissioned by Mwananchi Communications Ltd (MCL) shows that an overwhelming majority of Tanzanians have given the thumbs up to their President. About 90% of the respondents said they were satisfied with how President Magufuli is managing the government. Whichever way one looks at it, Tanzania's new President is currently the man of the moment. His words and actions, from the day he was sworn in to succeed the former President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, have impressed many people. He has taken into office with gusto, and has lived the spirit of his campaign in a true fashion. Having emerged victorious from the bruising battle with a bolstered opposition, the President has demonstrated that he is keen to deliver on his promises. Since being sworn in as Tanzania's president on November 5, John Magufuli has been cracking down on corruption and wasteful spending, which are problems that continue to plague many African nations.

3 Reasons Why Studying Abroad Brings Significant Career Benefits
Studying abroad comes with at least three benefits: social and intercultural competencies as well as other employability related soft skills which are important in a work environment.
There are some great benefits that come with studying abroad but students need to learn how to harness these exceptional outcomes from their experiences abroad to perfectly fit into their career paths.
A study seeking to investigate the effect of mobility on skills and institutional development, employability, and the internationalization of higher education institutions in Europe has reported that students who study abroad are better placed in terms of finding a job after graduation than those who don't.
In addition to gaining employability skills, the research, Erasmus Impact Study (EIS) also indicates that more than 90% of international students reported an improvement in their soft skills including their ability to interact and work with individuals from different cultures, communications skills, adaptability and foreign language proficiency.
Here are some of the reasons why taking that overseas training, or internship could boost your chances of becoming a better employee in the future.
The EIS notes that "effects of mobility on the skills and employability of students and the internationalization of higher education institutions finds that internationally mobile students are half as likely to experience long-term unemployment compared with those who have not studied or trained abroad and that, five years after graduation, their unemployment rate is 23% lower."

Economic crime at pandemic level in SA – survey
Cape Town – The stark reality is that economic crime is at a pandemic level in South Africa and no sector or region is immune from it, Louis Strydom, forensic services leader for PwC Africa, said on Tuesday.
More than two in three South African organisations (69%) have been the victim of economic crime in the past 24 months, according to PwC's latest biennial Global Economic Crime Survey.
Globally, the overall rate of economic crime reported has fallen for the first year since the financial crisis, but only marginally – to 36% from 37% in 2014. The SA survey rate of 69% has remained unchanged from 2014 and is much higher than the figure reported by organisations in the rest of Africa.
The survey found that asset misappropriation remains the most prevalent form of economic crime (68% of respondents), followed by procurement fraud (41%) and bribery and corruption (37%). Cybercrime has risen to the fourth most reported type of economic crime in SA, with 32% of organisations affected – on par with the global average.

Q: Probability distribution of selecting combinations of green and yellow balls from a set of green/yellow/red Let's say I have G green balls, Y yellow balls and R red balls. I'm interested in probability distribution of selecting particular amount of green and yellow balls.
For example, if G=10, Y=5 and R=20, what is the probability of drawing 2 green and 3 yellow when drawing 10 in total.
For two colors I would use hypergeometric distribution, but I'm a bit stuck in incorporating the two different "success" possibilities.

A: (Assuming without replacement.)  The number of ways of choosing a "good" combination of the balls is $$n_{\text{good}}:=\binom{G}{2}\binom{Y}{3}\binom{R}{10-2-3}$$ and the total number ways of choosing $10$ balls is $$n_{\text{total}}:=\binom{G+Y+R}{10}.$$  So the probability is $n_{\text{good}}/n_{\text{total}}$.

A: We solve the numerical problem, in the expectation that generalization will be clear.
So we have $10$ green, $5$ yellow, and $20$ red, and want to find the probability of getting $2$ green and $3$ yellow, when drawing $10$ balls, presumably without replacement.
Think of the balls as distinct (they have student numbers).  Then there are $\binom{35}{10}$ ways to choose $10$ balls, all equally likely.
There are $\binom{10}{2}$ ways of getting $2$ green, and for each of these ways $\binom{5}{3}$ ways to get $3$ yellow. For each of these ways, there are $\binom{20}{5}$ ways to choose the $5$ red needed.
This gives a total of $\binom{10}{2}\binom{5}{3}\binom{20}{5}$. For the probability, divide by $\binom{35}{10}$.
Remark: If drawing is done with replacement, we get the situation that you find familiar. The probability of getting $2$ green, $3$ yellow, and $5$ red is then
$$\frac{10!}{2!4!4!}\left(\frac{10}{35}\right)^2\left(\frac{5}{35}\right)^3\left(\frac{20}{35}\right)^5.$$

Instead of staying open to help displaced victims of the hurricane during the nor'easter that blanketed New York City in snow, the Federal Emergency Management Agency was "closed due to weather" as the storm approached.
FEMA, headed by Craig Fugate, exists to "prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from and mitigate all hazards," the agency states. Its team is employed to fly into disaster areas to provide relief to victims of both of manmade or natural disasters – like storms.
"We were abandoned yesterday," Staten Island resident MaryAnne Alessio told Neil Cavuto.
After being questioned on the reasons behind the closed doors, Fugate told reporters that services needed to be postponed during the storm and would resume when the weather improves. FEMA's response angered some New Yorkers who relied on the relief service after the storm had demolished their homes.
FEMA buses vanished on Wednesday, taking away some New Yorkers' only source of warmth and electricity. Trucks were removed from Staten Island and tents were taken down throughout the city.
And while the emergency management agency could not cope with the weather, the Red Cross stepped in and opened warming centers to help displaced hurricane victims survive the snowy weather.
But the Red Cross did not have the resources to provide many shelters. With only one shelter, located on Staten Island, FEMA's help was much-needed.
To make up for the loss in aid that FEMA should have been providing, volunteers across New York tried to provide crucial resources to hurricane victims – including water bottles, food, electricity and places to warm up.
"FEMA packed up and left. We don't know where they are, so there's nothing here but us," said volunteer Louis Giraldi.
The agency reopened its mobile sites after the second storm passed.

"The past is not dead, it is living in us, and will be alive in the future which we are now helping to make."
William Morris was born in 1834 in Walthamstow, north London, into a wealthy middle class family. His father moved to London from Worcester in the 1820's to join a firm of City stockbrokers. When William was ten his father acquired 272 £1 shares in a new Devonshire copper mining company. Within six months the shares, due to the discovery that the mines were richer than first believed, were worth £200,000 a fortune for those times. Of course, one consequence was that William and the rest of the family didn't have to worry about money. But Morris's father's 'good fortune' is also an indication of the economic and political changes that were being wrought in society.
While William was growing up, British society was changing incredibly rapidly. The watershed politically was 1848, the year the British working class in the form of the Chartists suffered a historic defeat at the hands of a rapidly maturing British state. The period was marked by what John Saville has defined as 'the consolidation of the capitalist state'.
This stability brought a period of continuous economic expansion between 1848 and 1874, shaping the world which Morris was to grow up in. This meant that for some 30 years British capitalism was in the happy position of living in a world in which an expanding market and ever-increasing profits seemed to be a law of nature, in which even the least efficient manufacturer could prosper and the more pushing and resolute prospered fabulously.
This expansion created rapid urbanisation and industrialisation. The slums and smoke stacks, that were simultaneously a mark of Victorian prosperity, were also a symbol of, as Morris himself put it, 'all the incredible filth, disorder and degradation of modern civilisation'.
The worst aspects of these slums were dealt with, beginning in the 1840s, after repeated epidemics of cholera, typhus and smallpox demonstrated to the ruling class that certain reforms in sanitation and sewerage systems were desirable from their point of view. However, that did not mean that the working class of the cities were lifted in some philanthropic way out of the degradation imposed on them. It was rather that, as Engels put it in 1892, 'the bourgeoisie have made further progress in the art of hiding the distress of the working class.'
What drove him into revolutionary activism was his anger and shame at the injustices within society. He burned with guilt at the fact that his "good fortune only" allowed him to live in beautiful surroundings and to pursue the work he adored. He fulminated that real art could not exist while people were divided into "cultivated and uncultivated classes". Often perilous experimental social mixes were a feature of the Morris-inspired arts and crafts communities as they developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Cotswolds being the favoured destination. Morris had invented a new species in society, the gentleman – and lady – artisan.
Kelmscott Press
"Deeply concerned with the problems of industrialization and the factory system, Morris believed that a return to the craftsmanship and spiritual values of the Gothic period could restore balance to modern life. He rejected tasteless mass-produced goods and poor craftsmanship in favour of the beautiful, well-crafted objects he designed. In 1888 Morris decided to establish a printing press to recapture the quality of books from the early decades of printing."
His Kelmscott Press began to print books in 1891 recapturing "the beauty and high standards of incunabula (texts produced when books were still copied by hand), and the book again became an art form." Eventually Morris designed decorative borders, initials and three bespoke typefaces, Golden Type (1890), Troy Type (1892) and Chaucer Type (1893), based on types from the 1400s. "Morris's concept of the well-designed page, his beautiful typefaces, and his sense of design unity—with the smallest detail relating to the total concept—inspired a new generation of graphic designers. His typographic pages, which formed the overwhelming majority of the pages in his books, were conceived and executed with readability in mind, another lesson heeded by younger designers.
Morris's searching reexamination of earlier type styles and graphic-design history also touched off an energetic redesign process that resulted in a major improvement in the quality and variety of fonts available for design and printing; many designers directly imitated the style of the Kelmscott borders, initials, and type styles. More commercial areas of graphic design, such as job printing and advertising, were similarly revitalized by the success of Morris."
Morris's first typeface was the serif font "Golden Type," designed exclusively for his Kelmscott Press, in 1890. This "old-style" serif font was based on a type designed by engraver and printer Nicolas Jenson in Venice around 1470 and it is named for the Golden Legend, which was intended to be the first book printed using it. The Golden Type sparked a trend of other typefaces in a similar style commissioned for fine book printing in Britain.

One of the most relevant aspects of Morris's work today is the framework for a commons-based world of cooperation that he sketched in his utopian novel News from Nowhere written in 1890. In News from Nowhere, Morris imagined a world in which human happiness and economic activity coincided. He reminds us that there needs to be a point to labor beyond making ends meet – and there is. Unalienated labor creates happiness for all – consumer and creator; whereas modern capitalism, in contrast, has created a treadmill in which this aspect of work has been lost. Capitalism, he explains, locks the capitalist into a horrible life, which leads nowhere but the grave.
News from Nowhere, it is well known, was written in indignant response to Edward Bellamy's socialist utopia Looking Backward, published to huge popular acclaim in America in 1888. Morris, after a decade of energetic proselytizing for the socialist cause, was appalled at Bellamy's vision of socialism. Reviewing Looking Backward in The Commonweal, he described Bellamy's scheme as 'State Communism, worked by the very extreme of national centralization'. Bellamy's mind, said Morris, was 'fixed firmly on the mere machinery of life'. Every aspect of socialism was conceived by him in terms of organization. There was a 'mechanical' answer to every problem — including, of course, the problem of production. In the face of laborious and alienating work, Bellamy's solution was not the humanization of work but its abolition, by progressively mechanizing it.
News from Nowhere was wrung from a somewhat reluctant Morris as a necessary antidote to Bellamy's vision of socialism. Bellamy's book, said Morris, had 'produced a great impression on people who are really enquiring into socialism', and 'will be sure to be quoted as an authority for what socialists believe'. In his review of Looking Backward Morris offered the rudiments of an alternative socialist vision. He provided in effect a programmatic statement of the utopia that he was to publish in the following year.
"It is necessary to point out that there are some Socialists who do not think that the problem of the organization of life and necessary labour can be dealt with by a huge national centralisation, working by a kind of magic for which no one feels himself responsible; that on the contrary it will be necessary for the unit of administration to be small enough for every citizen to feel himself responsible for its details, and be interested in them; that individual men cannot shuffle off the business of life onto the shoulders of an abstraction called the State, but must deal with it in conscious association with each other: that variety of life is as much an aim of a true Communism as equality of condition, and that nothing but an union of these two will bring about real freedom: that modern nationalities are mere artificial devices for the commercial war that we seek to put an end to, and will disappear with it. And, finally, that art, using that word in its widest and due signification, is not a mere adjunct of life which free and happy men can do without, but the necessary expression and indispensable instrument of human happiness." - Morris
But News from Nowhere did not simply provide a different description of socialism. Morris was not simply concerned to replace one account of the organization of society by a different account of an alternative organization. More fundamentally he wished to show his vision of socialism by means of a different way of writing and portraying utopia. Bellamy's failure, according to Morris, was not simply due to a wrong-headed conception of socialism; more seriously it was a failure of temperament, of an inability to conceive socialism in anything other than the prosaic terms of the professional middle classes. 'The only safe way of reading a utopia', said Morris, 'is to consider it as the expression of the temperament of its author.' Bellamy's utopia revealed a temperament 'perfectly satisfied with modern civilization, if only the injustice, misery, and waste of class society could be got rid of'. Looking Backward was 'a cockney paradise', an updated version of the Land of Cockaygne where the prime concern of life is to avoid pain, hunger and hard work of any kind.
Morris's temperament was evidently of a quite different kind. News from Nowhere is the clearest evidence of this, even if we did not have all the other writings to judge him by. In seeking to express this temperament, Morris was led to draw on all the resources of his earlier engagement with poetry and history. News from Nowhere picks up and develops, in the most unselfconscious way, many of the themes of the romances in poetry and prose for which he had become famous.
We know from all his other writings that Morris not only believed deeply in socialism but also in the practicability of its realization. He did not expect to see it in his own time, and increasingly came to regard it as a project that might take several generations to accomplish. But there seems no reason to doubt that News from Nowhere is a vision of a future that Morris both hoped and expected to come into being. That project though depends crucially on a collective sharing of hopes and intent: for only "if others can see it as I have seen it, then it may be called a vision rather than a dream."

Office snack-rooms is considered a breathing room for some employees, especially when they need to refuel for a big task. With that, you need to ensure that your office snack-room is equipped with kitchen materials and pantry supplies.
Coffee is a common beverage in the office. Every hour, employees go to pantry to brew their own coffee and take a sip. Since this is a very important equipment, you need to ensure that your pantry has the top-of-the-line coffee machine in Dubai to serve your coffee-loving employees. You may want to check the latest coffee equipment in the market or consult with managed pantry contractor to guide you on choosing the best coffee equipment.
Apart from coffee, you need to provide your staff with sumptuous but health snacks to make sure that they are fueled to work and finish their task. You need to install a snack rack inside the space to house your office snacks and other treats. You also need to buy food containers to store these snacks. Be sure to pick containers that are air-tight to prevent food spoilage.
Some employees do not bring their own utensils and rely on office pantries for supplies. So, be sure to cater to the needs of these employees. But be sure to go for utensils that are washable, rather than the disposable ones. This practice is more economical on your part and it can help encourage other employees to be more concerned with the environment. And it would be best if you can provide different silverware and cutleries for your staff.
It is imperative for businesses to keep every space of their business place clean, especially the pantry. Keep in mind the people are using this space to eat their meals. It is a must that you keep it clean and germ-free to avoid health-related problems like diarrhea and salmonella.
You need to keep in mind that your employees are the ones who will benefit from this space. You need to ensure they feel comfortable when they use the pantry. A comfortable seating furnishings would make the space cozy.

Population Aging
What Does The Future Hold—is Demography Destiny?
There are two important global trends ahead in population aging. Most noteworthy and most widely discussed is the graying of Europe, East Asia, and, to a lesser extent, North America. As of the year 2000, many countries in Europe, along with Japan and South Korea, were on the verge of depopulation, as a consequence of birth rates that have been persistently below the replacement level, and life expectancy that keeps increasing, even (or perhaps, especially) at the older ages. There is a concern about the social and economic impact of an ever-growing proportion of the population that is retired from the labor force and facing potentially debilitating health conditions associated with aging. In essence, the question is, Who will keep the economy going and support these individuals in their old age? There are several solutions. The birth rate could increase, but there are few signs that this will happen. The death rate could go up, but there is little likelihood of that. Workers could stay in the labor force longer and thus delay the economic impact of aging, but in fact the age at retirement has been going down, rather than up, over the past few decades in most rich countries. The other solution, and probably the most likely one, is for the populations of these countries to be rejuvenated by migrants from other—typically less developed—countries. The United Nations has termed this "replacement migration" (United Nations, 2000).
Migration is already serving to prop up the numbers of younger people in several European counties (especially France, Germany, and the United Kingdom), but in eastern Europe, in particular, migration would have to increase substantially to prevent depopulation and rapid aging. Japan has traditionally closed its doors to international migration, but demography could be destiny in pushing Japan to decide to allow more immigrants, such as those from the Philippines, to enter the country and become permanent residents, rather than just allowing a small number of short-term guest workers, as has been the policy for a long time. The United States and Canada, of course, are already experiencing replacement migration and for this reason neither country is on the verge of depopulation, and both have relatively low percentages of the population in the older ages, at least compared to Europe and Japan.
The other important issue for the future is the aging of the older population itself. Health technology has made significant gains in allowing people to survive stroke, heart attacks, cancer, and to live more comfortably with a variety of chronic ailments that would have incapacitated a person only a few decades ago. Although we continue to think of age sixty-five as somehow the beginning of old age, medical technology—combined with improvements in lifestyle such as less smoking and more exercise—have pushed back the age at which the average person's health noticeably slows down the pace of living and leads into eventual dependency on a caregiver. It is likely that age eighty or even beyond is closer now in the twenty-first century to what age sixty-five was in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in terms of becoming decrepit and dependent—the things about aging that most younger people fear the most. This suggests that the process of population aging will push us to rethink our view about when old age actually begins.

Vol. III. The Growth of the National Spirit: 1710–1775
ALTHOUGH the New England Primer
has been called the Little Bible of New England, and was, next to the Scriptures, the book most read and studied there for more than a century, yet so ironical is the fate of books that it is not exactly known when it first appeared. Furthermore, of some two million copies that may well have been printed and sold during the eighteenth century, less than fifty copies are known to exist; these, significantly enough, represent no less than forty editions. The Primer was first printed by Benjamin Harris, and was adapted from that compiler's Protestant Tutor, a book issued in England before he took refuge in America. It must have been issued between 1687 and 1690, and have achieved immediate success. A second edition was called for in 1691. By the beginning of the next century we have evidence, from an advertisement, that John Cotton's Shorter Catechism, The Milk for Babes, was added to it, but the first edition of the Primer known to collectors, that of 1727, does not contain it. Indeed, there are such constant changes, greater and smaller, in the make-up of the book, that its bibliography is exceedingly difficult. At first somewhat secular, it reached its stage of most unrelenting piety between 1740 and 1760, as may be seen by a comparison between the rhymed alphabets in our extracts. Politics, too, influence the changes, as may be observed under the letter K. The Exhortation unto his Children of John Rogers appears to have been written in 1555 by Robert Smith, a martyr of that year.

Anne and Rick were clearly in a drawn-out relationship prior to a wedding. At last, they got married at St. Thomas in Villanova, Pennsylvania, and held the gathering at the Saint Davids Golf Club – the specific date of their wedding function is obscure. The solitary thing that Anne once uncovered was the point at which she said that her Biedermeier was made of roses and hints of Hydrangea. Before long Anne was going with Rick on outings across Europe. She wanted to visit the business sectors and spa focuses on these excursions. Notwithstanding, this affection venture didn't keep going that long.
It appears to be that these two couldn't save their marriage since it finished in 2010. The solicitation for separate was documented in 2009 at Snohomish Superior Court in Anne's origin in spite of the fact that they were formally separated from a year later. It isn't realized who applied for separate or what is the authority purpose behind the separation. There are gossipy tidbits that Rick needed a separation since he found another affection – the lady referenced as the reason for this separation is Trish Feaster, Ricks's travel accomplice. He named her as his better half on his blog in 2012, however it isn't known whether this relationship began previously or after his separation. After the separation, Anne totally pulled out from the TV life, while her ex kept on introducing his show, and travel to Europe. In spite of the fact that there were conversations on the Internet about whether one of the mates is gay, we think that there is no justification for such an explanation. By and by, something great emerged from this marriage, and that is their youngsters.
Anne and Rick have two youngsters together, a child named Andy Steves and little girl Jackie Steves. These two emulated their dad's example, and they fabricated their profession also to him. It appears to be that adoration for the movements is in their qualities, as these two youngsters appreciate going to Europe and investigating, and they are regularly found in their father's TV show. Andy has a movement organization named Weekend Student Adventures Europe, in addition to he has delivered a movement control entitled Andy Steve's Europe: City-jumping on a Tight spending plan. As he, when all is said and done, says, he didn't tumble from the tree – he went with his folks since early on, and is currently knowledgeable about it, when saying that he is a computerized wanderer – he even concentrated in Rome in 2008. Rick habitually posts his kids' photographs on his interpersonal organizations by calling attention to how pleased he is of them.
Jackie appreciates going with her folks just as with companions. She says that Europe can be very surprising, contingent upon who you are going with. The two youngsters are in acceptable associations with their mom and father.
The career of her ex
Rick learned at the University of Washington and accepted the open door to go gratitude to an understudy run program of non-credit courses. Taking into account that his movements were his obsession, he distributed in 1980 a voyaging guide for Europe named "Europe Through the Back Door". He at that point opened a place of interest in Washington, yet additionally started a sort obviously for the individuals who needed to figure out how to play the piano. His first network show started in 1991 and was communicated until 1998 when Rick went on break for a very long time. Rick has his own site on which numerous helpful hints can be found. He expounds on wonderful family objections in Europe that can be visited at reasonable costs. It very well may be said that this person just realizes how to bring in cash, since it is conceivable to purchase arranging maps, satchels, manuals, and so on his site.
He actually has his HQ in Edmonds, Washington State, where he is likewise based.

One of the hardest things to do in life is push through and follow your passions even when the cards are stack too high. But for a native Maryland Illustrator, that has become a challenge he's grown to master defeating time and time again. If you have a strong passion and love for music you've surely encountered his artwork whether through a dope album cover, mixtape cover, or even just a sick social media post. Meet Bernard Rollins, an intergalactically positive artist with his sights on creating the next best thing. His work ethic is second to none and he's always up for pushing himself to create thought-provoking artwork rooted around two of his passions: art and music.
Quick to find the humor in many situations Rollins can often be reflective and laugh at things that he's experienced in life. In a way, it sort of makes him an even better artist and can be seen in many of his social media and/or blog post. Here's a snippet of him sharing his experience about not getting a pair of Nike Air Raids to go back to school in.
As of recently, Rollins has experienced some cooler experiences like finding out that the frontman Quavo of the popular rap group Migos decided to ice out one of Rollins art pieces that he dedicated to their hit song, "Bad and Boujee", from Migos' Culture album. Completely flabbergasted he reacts to the situation as not to understand what just happened but to me it's obvious. When your passion overrides your intentions to just create what's natural mystical things will happen that you've never could've imagined. That's what happened to Rollins and it'll continue to happen for as long as he continues to produce artwork that will be timelessly appreciated for decades to come.
Tell us about yourself. Where are you from and what's your professional background?
My government name is Bernard and I'm from Frederick, Md. I've been drawing/illustrating all my life, but most seriously in the last 4 years. I've taken a few community college courses, but I'm mostly self-taught. I work a full-time job and I'm a part-time illustrator. I also be on that PS4 get at me!
What inspires you to create the artwork that you make?
I'm heavily influenced by music and pop culture. Anything hip-hop I'm all over it. Comedy has some influence. I like to think I'm funny and try to incorporate humor in some works. Comics, cartoons, manga, children's books, I draw inspiration from all around.
When did you initially start exploring the idea of illustrating rappers utilizing The Simpson's (Matt Groening) style?
2012 or 2013 maybe. I bought a new drawing tablet and did the Simpsons/rapper thing as an exercise while I practiced using the tablet. I posted them on my Instagram and it kind of took off from there. Initially, the idea was just a "What if" situation.
Which illustration took off first? How did that feel?
The Action Bronson one of course. I posted it and went to sleep. When I woke up I had about 1500 notifications on my Instagram page because Bronson had reposted it and tagged me (The tag was key). It was pretty unreal. All of this was new at the time and you don't know how to react to all this happening overnight. One day you're posting random sketches getting likes from your friends and family, and the next your 6000 followers deep and people are begging for more.
How do you see your artwork impacting the music culture?
Since most of my drawings are inspired by music, I'd say my art bridges the gap between sounds and visuals. When you listen to a song your mind takes the words and mood and interprets what the scenario is visually. Everyone does this and has their version of what they hear and how their mind creates from the information given. It's amazing. I just put it on paper and show my point of view.
What's the greatest lesson you learned as an illustrator? What would you tell a younger illustrator that's inspired by your work?
The greatest lesson I learned is super cliche but know your worth. Don't undersell yourself. Educate yourself on what other illustrators are doing and how they're getting paid. Reach out to social media and network with other artists. You can obtain a wealth of information you can't find by Googling.
Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood. That movie was funny all the way through. I used to watch it back to back on VHS when it came out.
How would you define your greatest accomplishment yet as an illustrator?
My greatest accomplishment as an illustrator is being recognized and appreciated for my work. When I met Smoke DZA and Westside Gunn in Baltimore it was all love and I was floored at how many people there knew who I was and loved my artwork. I'm like, hey DJ Green Lantern I've been listening to your tapes forever! Green starts explaining to ME how dope my art is. It is an unbelievable feeling.
If you could pick anybody to work with, who would be your dream collaborator? What would you want to create with them? Why?
MF DOOM. I get lost in his beats and rhymes, the flows, stories, and how he puts words together. I would want to illustrate every song like a children's book. I think it would be a great project. I'd also like to meet him in person.
Can you tell us a bit about your collaboration with Trap Toys? Which toy did you enjoy making the most?
The Trap Toys guys reached out with the idea to make a bootleg toy from the illustration of Bronson as a Simpson. Coincidently they had they were looking for an artist who was doing "Simpsonizing" rappers and I was doing that at the time. They took that drawing and made a bootleg toy from a Comic Book Guy action figure. It turned out well and got a good reception. We did another with DJ Atrak, that Atrak requested himself. That was awesome as well. They've gone on to do other collaborations with artists and made more toys. Its good to see them doing well. We both kind of started around the same time.
What makes you a Stereo Champion?
Being true to myself! I've opened up a lot of new avenues for myself and it's easy to be led astray into something that may not be beneficial to you or promotes your best interests. I think I've done a decent job of staying focused on what my goals are, meeting them, and creating distinctive artwork in the process.

College Football Playoff Updates: Michigan Beats Ohio State
With one week remaining in the regular season, the College Football Playoff race has taken a new turn.
Ohio State has been expelled from the Big Ten Conference. Michigan is in command. After winning the Iron Bowl, Alabama is still alive, but let's face it: Is this the squad that will halt Georgia's SEC demolition?
Michigan finally beats Ohio State
Michigan had to play Ohio State eight times over the course of a decade to even the score. The Wolverines' 42-27 victory was highlighted by five touchdowns on their last five drives, including a heartbreaking march after the Buckeyes had been within a score. Coach Jim Harbaugh has won his first game in this series, one year after his status as head coach of the team was seriously questioned on his return to Michigan.
Alabama wins an Iron Bowl
Bryce Young led Alabama to a game-tying score with less than a minute remaining, and the Crimson Tide defeated Auburn 24-22 in 4 overtimes, as the Iron Bowl was decided on two-point conversions. There was nothing to enjoy offensively except for that late drive, which featured Young enduring four quarters of pounding from Auburn's defensive line and producing what may have been the highlight-reel play of his Heisman Trophy campaign.
Oklahoma State takes Bedlam
It's appropriate that Oklahoma's defense stepped up and produced one of the finest victories of the Mike Gundy era in the end. After surrendering 24 points in the 1st half — the Cowboys had surrendered a total of 23 points in November prior to Saturday — the defense threw a shutout in the 2nd half, while the offense capitalized on Oklahoma's flaws to earn the 37-33 victory.
Wisconsin flops against Minnesota
Wisconsin was one victory away from securing the Big Ten West, but fell 23-13 to rival Minnesota, therefore eliminating the Badgers from contention for the New Year's Six. Rather than that, Iowa, who defeated Nebraska on Friday, will face the Wolverines. The defeat was not anticipated — Wisconsin is notorious for its inconsistency — but it is still surprising if that makes sense: Minnesota has won this series only twice since 2004.

This pre-owned Suhr Classic has a super-sleek all black finish with a matching headstock and a cool red Suhr logo that contrasts nicely with the black. The guitar originally had EMG pickups in it - but the previous owner installed Suhrs own pickups into the guitar, however the EMG set is included with the hardshell case. A single volume knob for controls keeps things clean and simple. An added bonus is the Original Floyd Rose Tremolo on this great guitar. This used Suhr is in excellent condition and comes with the original hardshell case.

Whole Foods-Shopping Trap Lord Larry June Drops 'Orange Season' & Speaks on Having Fun with Hard Music
Featuring G-Eazy, Chuck Inglish and Cookin Soul beats.
By Patrick Montes
Music Aug 5, 2016
For many months now, the rap-game's resident health-conscious street-runner Larry June has been evolving the definition of a Bay Area rapper. His raps contain nearly as much street-stories as Mozzy, his charisma is in competition with E-40 and Mac Dre's, but the formula to his day-to-day grind combines the health-conscious lifestyle of every Silicon Valley one-percenter traversing the aisles of Farmer's Markets and Whole Foods with the goon on the East Oakland block. Think healthy mixed with hyphy and a dash of Gucci Mane for good measure.
With months of solid, impressive support behind him and hundreds of thousands of views and listens under his belt, Larry June sets his sights on his next round of releases. Following some major co-signs from superstar Post Malone, and a single featuring G-Eazy, Larry June is ready to unleash his new project Orange Season. The record features six new songs, and despite its summer and spring-friendly sound, it's a smooth-as-DJ-Quik-perm soundscape that should have you itching to bust out your cleanest ride for any cruising occasion. Think Curren$y, if Curren$y came up under the old-school Bay Area bosses and grew up on a diet of the finest organic juices and weed and rides to steakhouses in old-school DeVilles. Modern soul-purveyors Cookin Soul handle production, while G-Eazy and Chuck Inglish come through for features.
With this new project, you label it some "perfect day player shit." What do you mean by that? Are you referring to other west coast artists like Too Short and those types?
Especially with the stuff I have going on in my life, I make it as player as possible. The other stuff I've made is more turnt-up, this is more laidback — you know, go to Whole Foods and get some organic chicken and shit. This is some real smooth shit, it's simple; you might want to take chick hiking to this shit. I can't really explain it, but let's call it "smooth Larry."
Your music definitely has a street sound, but it sounds like you're having fun with the music. Is that your intention?
It's more about having fun. I'm talking the same street shit, but with the adlibs and everything, I'm having fun and giving emotion. With music, it's about giving something to the people and making them feel good. With the adlibs and stuff, it makes people think, "what the f*ck, this n*gga is crazy" — it's just about having fun with. Especially with the ad-libs, It's all about excitement and making people have fun.
Yeah, where did those ad-libs come from? They're definitely a real different sound than what you're used to hearing nowadays.
I listen to a lot of old-school music, and when you listen to the old-school music from back in the days, you'll hear the "sock it to me! Yeah baby!" That was the turn-up back in the days. When that "sock it to me!" came on, that was when it was time to turn up so I just wanted to bring that to my turn up. When you heard Michael Jackson go "yeee-hee!" it was a little something that made people prepare for what was going to happen on that track.
For this project, what made you want to connect with Cookin Soul?
I started rapping on these type of beats, I used to look up Cookin Soul beats on YouTube and shit. I started off on a smooth type of sound, then I started taking on trap beats and having fun and talking my shit. Since '07, '08, it was always the plan to work on Cookin Soul beats.
I see that you don't really do too many interviews. Any specific reason for that?
I just don't really like interviews like that. I like genuine interviews, but a lot of people are just trying to talk about my previous situations and what I did before I was rapping. I don't really want to do that, I just want to present my lifestyle right now to the people. Sometimes they're just trying to get me on camera to talk about previous situations, what I did before rap. I just try to stay away from interviews unless they're like genuine interviews. lot of people want to ask me questions that I feel shouldn't be answered during interviews.
Do you get tired of people asking about past street stuff you may or may not have done in the past?
Oh yeah. They'll say, "oh yeah, I heard you were doing this." I'm still out here, I'm not famous enough to do interviews like that. I kind of just don't want to talk about stuff like that in interviews. Even with Noisey, they were trying to ask me all types of sh*t. I'm just trying to let the music speak for itself right now.
With Bay Area rappers like Mozzy and stuff becoming big, do you find that a lot of interviews nowadays want to ask about street stuff and things like that?
Yeah, and I feel like I don't even really need to talk about that. I don't even really got to talk about that, if you're from here you know who I am, I don't have to prove anything to the world.
I have noticed a real flashy, player, pimp, Suga Free-type vibe from up-north rappers, including legendary rappers like Too Short and Mac Dre. Why do you think that is?
It's real, it's going on every day. You got the flashy people who like to spend their money on flashy things, and you got the real ones who keep it lowkey and out of mind. But, you got the flashy people, so that's what they're doing and they make it a big competition. Everyone's trying to get the car that's fastest, the biggest chain. The Bay Area is real small, and if you can make it out here, you can make it anywhere.
With the new project, how did you get linked up with Chuck Inglish and G-Eazy?
I linked up with Chuck Inglish through Twitter. With G-Eazy, I knew him back from MySpace days. So, we kind of just linked up to make some music, pretty much.
I think your sound is sort of like a modern day Cool Kids sound. It's fun music, and the beats are hard-hitting but different.
Exactly. I feel like you have to have fun with it. Nowadays, you want to be as special as possible because there's so many artists that sound exactly the same, I feel like when I do make trap music, it's got to be refreshing and about how I feel. I'm just going to do me and have fun with it — I don't care about radio and all of that. I actually love doing ad-libs — "yeee-hee!" A big part of you is personality, and if you hear my music, you'll hear it. I'm just out here doing me, that's how I live man.
Do you think your region has had a fun, party vibe ever since the hyphy days?
We had the hyphy music, which was crazy and fun. But, we also had mob music: Jacka, B-Legit, E-40, Messy Marv. We had two different things. The Mob Music was before and after the hyphy music, and I feel like Mob Music never really got to that [hyphy] level like that. E-40 did, so E-40 has had his moment.
With artists like Jacka, Spice-1, Mob Figaz, they definitely influenced a lot. They just don't get the recognition.
Exactly. There's just a lot of other shit that others don't really know about either. Jacka was overlooked, but I really don't know why. I don't know if people had personal issues, with music it could be all types of sh*t. You have to have a good personality as well, but I don't know why he wasn't as big as he should have been but that's what I'm here for.
Even with someone unique like you, everyone wants to throw that "trap music" label on everything nowadays.
My life is real, man, I've been out here, man. This rap shit is kind of new to me honestly. I just feel like I'm blessed, I'm trying to do different shit. I'm on a whole different level. I want to do something different, something positive. I got a lot of family members dead or in prison, and I know the truth before anything, I know where this shit will really get you. My uncle was in prison since I was a little one. I'm from 'Frisco, I was back and forth from Frisco to Atlanta my whole time, all my family from 'Frisco. There's some real gangster shit going on there, and it'll probably never stop. I've been everywhere, and 'Frisco is real project shit. From n*ggas dying to hustling, there's real shit going on. I'm not trying to glamorize, it's just where I come from so I speak about it. This sh*t ain't fun.
Back in the day, spots like Hunter's Point had a lot of great rap coming from that area.
You know RBL Posse? We from the same neighborhood. My name was Young June, I had videos with E-40, RBL Posse. It was Harbor Road back in the days. Those were my OG's. This shit get deep. I'm going to get my recognition though.
With the new project Orange Season, any specific vibes or feelings you want to deliver to the listener?
I want everybody to head out to the beach, travel the county, cop some new shoes, do some player sh*t man. That's what I'm giving to the people: relax, stay fresh and feel like a player. If they're not feeling like a player before listening to this, they will after. This some real player sh*t — it's lifestyle sh*t, player sh*t. I'm just trying to make it happen.
After this project, what's next?
I'm going to drop one more EP, I did two EPs. One with Warner Bros, and another one. After that, I'm going to kick back, do a solo tour and look forward to an album.
Larry June is part of the Trillectro 2016 lineup, which takes place August 27 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland, just outside Washington, DC.

93 teams from nine nations are competing in the 2003 Etchells World Championship. Some of the most notable names in sailing are present for what promises to be a high profile event, including past America's Cuppers Dennis CONNER and Ken READ.
The presence of Hurricane Isabel caused the organisers to announce a delay to the scheduled start of the 2003 Etchells World Championship but racing finally got underway yesterday with one race completed.
Golfers and sun bathers have an affinity for high pressure systems. Sailors on the other hand prefer some frontal movement as therein lies the wind. Sunday morning found the western Long Island Sound firmly in the grips of a beautiful high pressure system complete with a cloudless deep blue sky and a light northerly breeze.
The racing schedule called for a practice race in the morning followed by the first, of at least six daily races, to start in the afternoon. The weather schedule called for light northerly breezes shifting to the south southwest. The practice race did indeed start in a light northerly that proceeded to die at the weather mark where the race was called.
After leaving the fleet bobbing motionless for an hour a hint of a southerly breeze showed up and was enough to send the race committee and the fleet of 93 boats into action. After much setting and resetting of courses the breeze filled in with enough conviction to get a race off. The sailing instructions state that no race may be started later than 1350hrs and this one started at 1340hrs. Talk about countdowns. With the fleet half way down the first leg the wind proceeded to clock around into the west to the tune of 65 degrees. Therefore the ecstasy of those on the right side of the course and the agony of those who went left and got clobbered. The breeze continued to clock with the steam gage finally reading northwest.
There is an adage on the sound that states, " Never trust a dying northerly" and as the sun got lower this one began to lighten. The race committee having been frustrated by a fickle and fragile breeze let discretion be the better part of valor and shortened the final beat to the finish line.
To Bill FORTENBERRY and all the others who did well in race one, we say congratulations. To those who got the worst of the capricious breeze remember that it is a long regatta with plenty of time to make good.
The event is being held in the waters off Greenwich, Connecticut and is hosted by Indian Harbor and Riverside Yacht Clubs.

The Spanish Room at Kingston Lacy
The Spanish Room is adorned with interesting paintings National Trust Images/John Hammond
The Spanish Room (formerly the Golden Room) is arguably the greatest achievement of William John Bankes (1787-1855), who inherited Kingston Lacy in 1834. The room is also the most complete expression of his design intentions for Kingston Lacy. It can be read as a total work of art; a set piece comprising a gilded, coffered Venetian ceiling, painted leather wall panels, and a remarkable assemblage of Spanish paintings and decorative surfaces.
The room, which was created to display William John's collection of Spanish paintings, epitomises his emphasis on creating an overall richness of effect in contrast to favouring individual works of art. Each and every element was consciously acquired and displayed with the whole in mind. In 1850 he wrote from his exile in Venice to his sister Anne (Lady Falmouth) to enquire of newly completed decorative details, including the inscribed cartouches over the paintings. He asked 'does it add to the richness of effect?'
Although William John was primarily concerned with creating a total effect, he collected individual works of art with a keen eye and discerning judgement. Most of the Spanish paintings which decorate the walls were acquired during his service with the Duke of Wellington in the Spanish Peninsular War (c.1812-14). He consciously collected a representative selection of works by the great seventeenth-century Spanish artists, including Velázquez, Murillo and Cano. The only loss from the collection is Velázquez's Philip IV of Spain, which was sold in the late nineteenth century by Walter Ralph Bankes.
The Spanish Room's walls and ceiling are equally noteworthy, both for their individual significance and for adding to the overall effect of the room. Painted and tooled leather panels of scrolling foliage clad the walls. They a mixture of old panels that William John acquired from Venetian palaces and new ones that he commissioned to match.

The ceiling was almost completed before William John was forced into voluntary exile in 1841. He purchased the ceiling paintings from a London art dealer in the belief that they came from the Palazzo Contrari degli Scrigni on the banks of the Grand Canal. However, only the grotesque panels of swirling foliage originated there. The three pictorial canvases, including The Creation of the Elements, were in fact copies of works by Paolo Veronese. Their value as copies is however significant, for the originals were destroyed in Berlin during World War II.

Also significant to the room are the Pietra Dura (a decorative art involving highly polished, coloured stones inlaid to create a picture) cabinet and the three double doors. Made from walnut frames, each is inset with four pearwood panels painted with designs representing the twelve months of the year. William John's designs for the panels survive in the Bankes Archive (deposited with Dorset History Centre).

Conserving the Spanish room ceiling
During November 2017 we commissioned conservators to carry out treatments to a most important ceiling at Kingston Lacy. Research made in preparation for this work has revealed more about the complex story of perhaps William John Bankes's proudest achievement.

William John Bankes and his life in exile
Kingston Lacy in Dorset was profoundly shaped by William Bankes, who fled England in 1841 to avoid prosecution for same-sex acts. He had no choice but to leave England and the home he loved but he continued to send back works of art and treasures.

As one of the fasting growing cities in the country and what is quickly becoming the next silicon valley, one of the important things that people need is the ability to ship nationally and internationally. What are the options and which one is best for e-eCommerce?
After riding the Missouri River Runner to St. Louis, the next order of business was to use the Texas Eagle by Amtrak to get to Dallas. This train is much bigger and it is made for long haul trips…. all the way to Los Angeles.
Traveling from Kansas City to St. Louis is typical done by car or by plane but there is another option: Amtrak's Missouri River Runner. It is a train that runs between the cities twice a day. It is a shame that more people do not use the cost effective service from Amtrak to be honest.


Milwaukee, May 26, 2017 – The EgGS Initiative (Engaging Girls in STEM), an organization aimed at inspiring high school girls to pursue STEM careers, collaborated with the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) to offer the "Preparing to be a Professional" (Prep-Pro) workshop on May 13.
Seventeen high schools from southeastern Wisconsin sent nearly 120 girls to participate in the Prep-Pro workshop allowing the students to work with role models working in STEM careers. Twenty-two professional women representing Milwaukee area businesses, including Cr Hansen, Douglas Dynamics, GE Healthcare, Harley Davidson, Johnson Controls, Lee Hecht Harrison, Northwestern Mutual, Rockwell Automation and more, participated.
The workshop simulated a professional association meeting including roundtable discussions. It focused on helping students appreciate some of the key non-technical skills they will need for their long-term success; networking, effective questioning, dealing with gender bias, and how to advocate for oneself. Each student had the chance to speak with multiple STEM professionals to explore strategies and collect insights on how to succeed in fields traditionally dominated by men. The event also allowed the students to meet girls from area schools who share similar academic and professional goals.
"I attended the Pre-Pro workshop and I was amazed and inspired by these professional women. I was able to ask some questions about their research and I found the networking session very helpful," said Kayla, a junior at Waukesha North High School. "This event left me energized, confident, and ready to push forward with my STEM career."
The workshop kicked off with a keynote address by Sandra Pfister, PhD, associate professor of pharmacology and toxicology and Chair of the Council for Women's Advocacy at MCW. Her presentation, 'It Makes a Difference: Women in Science Improves the Health of Women', set the tone for the workshop. Dr Pfister's insights stressed why it is ESSENTIAL that more women become involved in not only medical research but all areas of STEM.

National team is being killed in Spain
The Spanish football federation surprised with the castling of Robert Moreno for Luis Enrique after the passed qualification stage.
Luis Enrique came to the national team of Spain in the summer of 2018, after the World Cup. Under his management, the team started Euro 2020 qualification by defeating Malta (2:0), the Faroe Islands (4:1) and Sweden (3:0). But later he left his post for family reasons.
Instead of Enrique, the team was led by his assistant Robert Moreno, who worked with Lucho in the same staff since 2008. Before his appointment, Moreno gave a promise to Enrique that when he is ready to return, he will immediately give him the opportunity. With the new manager, Furia Roja secured themselves first place in the qualification with a decent gap from the competitors in person of Sweden, Norway and Romania.
However, right after the end of the qualification Luis Enrique expressed his desire to return to the national team. That is when the footballers of the national team and coach Moreno had established a relationship and became close in understanding the game on pitch. Despite the 11-year cooperation, Robert had to leave the team, because he did not want to be a part of Enrique's staff anymore,
"After everything that happened lately, I want to make a statement to thank for the support I got during my work with the national team and announce my departure from the national team coach post.
My conscience is clean. It's impossible to please everyone, but I respect all opinions. I always stated that I am a man of my word and if Luis Enrique decides to return, he will not have any obstacles. I did that, although it meant my departure. I wish him all the best, because his happiness is our happiness", Moreno said.
One can understand both Enrique and Moreno. They are hostages of ethical position of every man, evaluating what is happening here. Only one thing is unclear – it's Luis Rubiales' management, who has been making decisions reactively and emotionally for more than a year now. Last year he fired Julen Lopetegui before the World Cup, because of the signed contract with Real Madrid. This time, because of the absence of clear agreements, Enrique lost his best assistant and beloved manager of the national team of Spain.

It's been forever since I last posted. So much has happened: good, bad, & wonderful. So much growth has transpired as a team, personally, & in Filbert. There are countless soapboxes I have explored, passions I have honed and moments that have overwhelmed me to the point of frustration or happy tears. Life is so full. It's an unpredictable adventure that I wouldn't change for the world. I feel as though my life is where the rubber meets the road, being guarded or fake is impossible when the stakes are so high with limited time and entrenched loving investment.
Today I choose to share a glimpse of what I see in my life daily. I wake up to the sweet sound of my youngest babbling, my husband broiling bacon, my daughter choosing her outfit and the perfect key of my oldest, Filbert, singing. Breakfast is a mixture of chaos, connection and nutrition. Then the academic day begins with devotional, copy work, geography, history timeline, math and English. Within the hour the first member of our family arrives ready to enthrall Filbert's brain with stories of the past; a Roman solider, the spread of Christianity and the like. Next up strolls in family member number two who will exercise with Filbert to get his body focused. He is kind and assured with a twist of challenge encouraging Filbert to grow. The next family member joins the fun with an air of grace, compassion and love as she guides him through fine motor exercises each one designed to increase his independence and inclusiveness within our unit.
Then I get the opportunity to share the world of science, invention and discovery with him teaching him the wonderfully gross composition of stool, vomit, and skunk smells. After an intense line up we have an hour to catch our breath outside or read a book aloud. Then we get to see yet another family member come dancing in full of literary devices ready to share the world in a more abstract form; she gracefully and patiently paints a picture that encourages Filbert to get on board and share his thoughts. Just before lunch the sound of laughter fills the air as our penultimate family member bounds through the door to once again help Filbert connect his brain and body. Lots of giggles, stretching, singing and toning happens in chorus as they work together. The mornings work is done, lunch is ready, and it's no wonder Filbert feels accomplished his fingers, body and brain all full; his belly just one step behind.
The afternoon is full of outside time, art, and read alouds when our concluding family member comes in ready to calculate their way through math. At the day's end there is a bucket that just overflows with the privilege of knowing all these wonderful family members daily journey with us in love, persistence and patience.
Community at our little house is not a word, it's an experience that warms my heart each day. Without our beloved family I know all our hearts would be less full; thankfully God graciously gave us each other.
I have thought and thought about how to thank this amazing family, but words escape me. How can really put into words what it is to daily tangibly change someone's life, and aid in making the impossible possible for their exceptional child. It's the kind of thing you feel all the way to your core and I simply pray I can do the same for someone else some day.
And this is only half of our story, there is more to our team of wonderful peeps to be shared in the next post.

June 2011 - Son-Rise here we come!!
I love this photo! It says so much, but what stands out to me is Filbert's love for life, learning, family and Jesus.
Aw! Thanks so much! I agree for sure :).
Many prayers continue. Thank you for being brave to share with us. I look backwards at our challenges and know that I am a better person because God got my attention to grow and change me.
