Three - The Christmas Pony #DancePonyDance Returns with Fleetwood Mac's "Everywhere"
Socks the Three Pony Returns, and he's got into the spirit of Christmas
Who didn't love Socks? He's the moon walking Pony that was featured on Three's TV adverts earlier this year. Well, the good news is that he is returning to our screens this Friday and he's been getting in the Christmas spirit.
In Three's words 'He's back this Friday. And he's bringing tinsel'. He'll be dancing to Fleetwood Mac's 'Everywhere' once more, but this time around the advert has been spruced up for Christmas.
Everything has been covered with Winter snow and you should also spot a Christmas tree, a reindeer (or is it?) and even a Christmas-themed tractor. However, the real fun starts on Friday when Three will put their new PonyGifter website live.
On the site users will be able to choose to personalise a selection of all-singing, all-dancing eCards. They all feature the nations favourite Shetland Pony and you'll be able to send them to friends and loved ones.
Anyway, on with the new advert.
3gUK
When 3's incredibly popular ad campaign featuring the little pony dancing to Fleetwood Mac's "Everywhere" originally debuted in early 2013 it drove "Everywhere" back to the UK charts re-entering the Top 100 Singles Chart March 9, 2013 at No.87. The song peaked the following week at No.15. This gave Fleetwood Mac their first British Top 20 Hit in 25 years. "Everywhere" originally peaked at No.4 in April, 1998 and was Fleetwood Mac's last Top 20 British hit prior to this chart re-entry. Could we be in for round two? Cute ad!

Review: Stevie Nicks: In Your Dreams - Documentary
Stevie Nicks: In Your Dreams:
Two and a half stars out of five
It's unpredictable, fiery and completely random. Creativity can reduce the bravest, most decorated left-brained soldier into a puddle of nervous mush. For singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks, this seems to be a natural state — a lacy palace of romantic thoughts and swirling melodies that complements her actual abode, a sprawling mansion with a mega-rotunda in suburban Los Angeles. The house and Nicks's ephemeral creative muse are essentially the two stars of In Your Dreams, a new documentary from multi-hyphenate producer Dave Stewart. Part video diary of the production process, and part artist portrait, In Your Dreams chronicles the conception, gestation and eventual birth of Nicks's latest studio offering, which shares the same title as the movie. It conjures a feeling somewhere between nutty cat-collector and esteemed oddball artist, and we hear Nicks tell us about her life and her creative work with an unmistakable hint of Norma Desmond lurking in the folds of her black cloaks. Special features unavailable.

Review: Fleetwood Mac: 1969 to 1972 [vinyl boxed set]
"Fleetwood Mac: 1969 to 1972" (Reprise)
The first thing that comes to mind when mentioning Fleetwood Mac is their seminal album "Rumours." But the band's pre-"Rumours" days are rich with bluesy offerings that are well worth revisiting on the new box set "Fleetwood Mac: 1969 to 1972."
The highlight of the four-album, vinyl collection is the first re-mastered edition of "Then Play On," Fleetwood Mac's 1969 debut album on Reprise Records. This is a raw, young blues-fueled Fleetwood Mac and the sense of urgency to their music is on full display. The opening, bongo-backed track "Coming Your Way" bristles with pace and the all-out house rocker "Fighting For Madge" showcases guitarist Peter Green as a force to rival Eric Clapton of that era.
"Future Games" is another winning platter, though it presents a softer Fleetwood Mac. By 1971 we find them putting together the less edgy sound that would prove to be the backbone to their radio mainstay hits to come. "Fleetwood Mac: 1969 to 1972" aptly presents the formative years of one of the most successful bands in history.

Christine McVie: I want to rejoin Fleetwood Mac
Singer and songwriter says she would like to return to band she left 15 years ago – if they want her back
When Christine McVie joined her old band, Fleetwood Mac, onstage during their recent shows at the O2 in London, it was billed as little more than a special treat for fans.
Yet the group's singer, keyboardist and songwriter seems to have caught the bug and has said she would like to rejoin permanently. "I like being with the band, the whole idea of playing music with them," she said. "I miss them all. If they were to ask me I would probably be very delighted … but it hasn't happened so we'll have to wait and see."
McVie was with the band for 28 years before quitting in 1998. "I think I was just music'd out," she said. "I suffered from some kind of delusion that I wanted to be an English country girl, a Sloane Ranger or something … and it took me 15 years to realise that it's not really what I wanted at all."
McVie was the band's main songwriter and central to its transformation from a blues group to the current incarnation featuring Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham that created the pop-oriented sound behind huge-selling albums such as Rumours and Tango in the Night. McVie wrote Don't Stop, Songbird and Everywhere, among many others.
She has never before expressed regrets about leaving and has spent the past decade living a reclusive life in a
17th-century mansion in Kent. Despite this, she thrilled fans during Fleetwood Mac's current tour by joining the band for a run-through of Don't Stop. McVie said playing with the band again was like riding a bike. "It was amazing, like I'd never left. I climbed back on there again and there they were, the same old faces on stage."
Fleetwood Mac are on a tour break after cancelling several Australian and New Zealand dates after news that their bassist, John McVie, has cancer. They plan to resume touring when he is better. McVie said her ex-husband's prognosis was "really good. He's having his treatment in LA right now, but they caught it really early so he should be up and running in a couple of months."
Nicks has often said she wants Christine McVie to rejoin. However, recent reports suggest guitarist Buckingham is worried her appearance could steal the limelight. McVie said this was "fair enough. From his point of view, it was a business thing. [Promoters] would be asking why I wasn't playing in Amsterdam or Berlin. They obviously wanted headlines about them, not me, and I quite agree with that."
McVie accepts rejoining is a long way off. "It's a long way down that path if it ever were to happen. John's got to get well first, so it hasn't been talked about. We'll have to wait and see."
Her remarks were made in a Guardian interview with her and Nicks to be published later this year. During the interview, in which they discuss their friendship, their decadent 1970s lifestyle and experiences of sexism in the music industry.

Stevie Nicks sings and acts in American Horror Story AND she may return for second episode!
Ryan Murphy interview with Entertainment Weekly about last nights American Horror Story: Coven (Nov 20th - Ep7)
You tweeted a photo of Stevie Nicks on set filming her upcoming guest-spot. How did it go?
You know Stevie is just fantastic. I don't think Lily Rabe has recovered. She was great. She gets to sing. She does a little acting, which she was great in. The great thing is Stevie has some wonderful ideas based on some of her songs so we were like, "Oh we're going to use that." So we're actually going to try and have Stevie come back and do another episode because she's so good.

Johnnie Walker Meets…
Fleetwood Mac, Wednesday 1 January, 5pm-7pm
Late last year, a packed audience at London's O2 Arena went wild as Fleetwood Mac welcomed Christine McVie on stage - completing the line-up of the band that produced one of the biggest selling albums of all times - Rumours.
The success of Fleetwood Mac is without precedent considering the varying line-ups. However, the constants include their remarkable drummer and 'big daddy' of the group Mick Fleetwood and the 'quiet man', bassist John McVie. Which is fortunate, as that's how the band's name came about, combining their two surnames way back in 1967.
Across two hours, Johnnie Walker speaks to Mick Fleetwood, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and features a rare interview with pianist and singer-songwriter Christine McVie. Listeners will get to hear how they all had their part to play in the jigsaw puzzle of Fleetwood Mac's enduring success. Despite the sometimes hedonistic lifestyle, divorces and ego clashes, they couldn't have produced decades of hit records without love and friendship.
Tune in New Years Day to BBC Radio 2. This program will be streamed on-line

Stevie Nicks Interviewed for new book: 1963: The Year of the Revolution
1963: The Year of the Revolution
How Youth Changed the World with Music, Art, and Fashion
By Ariel Leve, Robin Morgan
1963: The Year of the Revolution is the first book to recount the kinetic story of the liberation of youth through music, fashion, and the arts—and in the voices of those who changed the world so radically, from Keith Richards to Eric Clapton, Mary Quant to Vidal Sassoon, Graham Nash to Peter Frampton, Alan Parker to Gay Talese, Stevie Nicks to Norma Kamali, and many more. It is an oral history that records, documentary-style, the incredible roller-coaster ride of that year, in which a group of otherwise obscure teenagers would become global superstars. It serves not only as a fast-paced, historical eyewitness account but as an inspiration to anyone in search of a passion, an identity, and a dream.

FLEETWOOD MAC: McVie's Cancer Caught Early
John McVie's undisclosed cancer was caught early enough and he is in good spirits -- at least according to John Mayall, who employed McVie in the Bluesbreakers before he left to join Fleetwood Mac.
Mayall told 94.5 3WS he called his friend and says McVie is "very optimistic and together on it because it's such an early stage that it is treatable... He didn't seem like an ill person on the phone."
As a result of the treatments McVie is undergoing, Fleetwood Mac's Australian tour has been canceled, but their December 30th show in Las Vegas is still on their schedule.

Ryan Murphy talks Stevie Nicks' guest spot
By Tim Stack
Soooo much happened on last night's American Horror Story: Coven…but it's all sort of trumped by the news that Stevie Nicks is coming to the show! Yes, Misty Day's idol will be visiting AHS: Coven in a future episode as series co-creator Ryan Murphy announced this week on Twitter. EW talked to Murphy for our exclusive weekly chats about details on Nicks' appearance as well as the latest Coven episode, "The Axeman Cometh."

#AHSCoven Recap... Episode 6 featured the Stevie Nicks track "Leather and Lace"
"Get him out of here. He broke Stevie"
Rollingstone recapped tonights American Horror Story: Coven beautifully... Here's where the Stevie track was placed in the show tonight.
Song used in the scene: Stevie Nicks "Leather and Lace" from the album "Bella Donna" $4.99 at Amazon.
Misty Day is living her best life in the swamp, watering Myrtle's unyielding mound and bathing Kyle. I genuinely feel horrible for Kyle's character. Left to wander confused through the wilderness, Misty's attempts to scrub his wiener in the bathtub (and frankly, the fact she is sort of overbearing and possessive herself) triggers the memory of the abuse at the hands of his mother, and Kyle freaks out. He smashes her record player, (it's actually an 8-track player and it's playing "Leather and Lace") sending Misty weeping to the floor. "Get him out of here. He broke Stevie," she sobs as Zöe arrives at her door. Zöe instead takes Misty and Kyle back to the Academy, employing Misty's powers to bring Madison back from the dead. "There's too much death inside her. Put your hands on her stomach and push," Misty instructs Zöe, and they physically shove Death from Zöe's decayed body. Madison makes a pretty solid recovery, save for the blurry fish-eye vision and inability to drink ginger ale. Unfortunately Madison doesn't yet remember her murder, though she does have some other useful information: "There's nothing on the other side. Just black. Forever." Hoo boy.

"From our Tribe to yours"... Stevie Nicks letter to her Brisbane fans
Letter provided by Rodney Ward
My Dearest Friends,
I am so so excited for you to see my little film. It is, to say the least, the diamond in my very long career. To be able to invite you into my house for a year never seemed to be very possible but as the days flew by, that is exactly what happened. We started in Feb. 2010 and finished in Feb. 2011. Moments like this just don't come along very often (if ever) so I feel very lucky that the harmonic convergence of the stars happened for Dave and I and all the crazy people who were involved. I hope you love it as much as we do.
From our Tribe to yours
Stevie Nicks & Dave Stewart
This letter from Stevie and Dave was given to everyone attending the In Your Dreams film premiere in Brisbane tonight (Nov 13th). Stevie was initially scheduled to attend the premiere which was to include a Q&A but with circumstances surrounding the cancelled Fleetwood Mac AU/NZ tour, she had to cancel.
In Your Dreams screens again in Brisbane on November 15th. Buy Tickets

Stevie Nicks to Guest Star on American Horror Story: Coven
Well this just makes so much sense!!! and takes this show and the Stevie Nicks connection about 10 notches up!!
Stevie Nicks Headed to 'American Horror Story: Coven'
Stevie Nicks to Guest Star on American Horror Story
E-online
Stevie Nicks is set to make a guest appearance on FX's hit series American Horror Story: Coven later this season, creator Ryan Murphy revealed on Tuesday. "Guess who's visiting the Coven? The legendary Stevie Nicks!" he tweeted to his followers. (Let's all do a Stevie Nicks shawl twirl over this epic casting news, shall we?!)
While she's yet to pop up in New Orleans, Nicks has had quite the presence on the witchy series thanks to Lily Rabe's kooky hippie character Misty Day, who idolizes the legendary singer-songwriter. And a source who works on the show exclusively spills to us that Misty's dreams come true when Nicks "comes to meet her biggest fan. And maybe sing with her." We. Die. Expect to see Nicks pop up in the Big Easy in episode ten.
Murphy recently revealed Nicks was a huge inspiration for the character of Misty.
"I love her character, she is obsessed with Stevie Nicks. The season really is an allegory and a metaphor for any minority group in the country where you feel alone, so she's a girl that has never known any other witches and all she's ever known is Stevie Nicks," he explained. "So I reached out to Stevie Nicks and asked her if we could use her music, and she thought about it for a while and then she said, "Oh OK, since it's you, I'll do it." Lily has an amazing Stevie Nicks shawl twirl scene in episode three. It's really fun and great and we use I think eight Stevie Nicks songs this year, so that's our musical stuff that we do."
American Horror Story was recently renewed for a fourth season, surprising no one given Coven's monster ratings: It's averaging 7.7 million viewers per episode, a franchise-best.
American Horror Story: Coven airs Wednesday at 10 p.m. on FX.
Guess who's visiting the Coven? The legendary Stevie Nicks!

'The white witch lives!' Stevie Nicks to guest star as sorceress on American Horror Story: Coven
By CASSIE CARPENTER
She crafted an ethereal, mystical persona as the shawl-twirling frontwoman of Fleetwood Mac.
And Stevie Nicks will make her acting debut as the 'White Witch' on an upcoming episode of American Horror Story: Coven.
Series creator Ryan Murphy made the announcement on his Twitter page Tuesday, writing: 'Guess who's visiting the Coven? The legendary Stevie Nicks!'
The 65-year-old rock goddess - born Stephanie - was already a major source of inspiration for the show's necromancer witch, Misty Day.
Lily Rabe, who plays Misty, is just as obsessed with the eight-time Grammy nominee as her ethereal character.
'If I meet her, I actually think I might die on the spot,' the 31-year-old actress told Entertainment Weekly.
'I don't get that crazy about a lot of people. I'm usually pretty cool, calm, and collected. But I don't know if could behave properly. I love her so much. She's just a beautiful creature.'
According to Celebuzz, Stevie 'comes to meet her biggest fan and maybe sing with her' on episode 10.
Eight of Nicks' songs will also be used this season, including Edge of Seventeen and Rhiannon.
Murphy first connected with the Gold Dust Woman singer when they used her music for his Fox series Glee.
'I called Stevie Nicks and first I said, "I want to use you in the show,"' the 47-year-old producer told EW.
'But she was very resistant because from the beginning of her career people who are in the Wiccan community had given her a hard time thinking she was a witch and she got a lot of scary fan letters. She didn't like the darkness of that, and I explained to her the part and she's like, "Aw f***, let's just do it. OK, I love it.'"
Stevie suddenly found herself with more free time after Fleetwood Mac were forced to cancel their tour Down Under due to bass player John McVie's cancer treatment.
Nicks and her band won't take the stage again until December 30 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
American Horror Story: Coven - which recently got renewed for a fourth season - currently airs Wednesday nights on FX.

Iconic Fleetwood Mac / Stevie Nicks Photographer Herbert W. Worthington III has passed away
Sad news! Iconic Photographer Herbert W. Worthington II has passed away.
Mr. Worthington is responsible for many many iconic photos of Fleetwood Mac and of Stevie Nicks stretching all the way back to the early 70's. His photos of Stevie in particular are revered and loved to this day by fans within the Fleetwood Mac fan community. If you see a studio shot of Stevie in the late 70's or 80's it most likely was taken by Herbert... He seemingly was at her side every step of the way. In fact I think they were roommates at some point in the early days if I'm not mistaken.
Some of his album covers include the 1975 "Fleetwood Mac" album, "Rumours" and Stevie's first solo album cover "Bella Donna" among others.
Thank you Mr. Worthington for your work and for capturing a large part of this bands history!
My condolences to his family and to those that new him.
Friends have gathered at this Facebook page posting photos and stories about Herbie... Check it out:

Some people believe that replacing their consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages with that of artificially sweetened drinks helps them lose weight. These artificially sweetened beverages are often called diet soda because they contain no calories in spite of their sweet taste.
It is a fact that the consumption of diet beverages has skyrocketed and is considered by some as a strategy to control weight. However, studies evaluating the effects of diet soda and other beverages on weight control have shown conflicting results.
In 2005, researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center compared the effects of drinking regular soda and diet soda on weight change in more than 1500 participants whom they observed for seven to eight years. They reported that those who regularly consumed diet beverages had the greatest risk of gaining weight, citing that there was more than 40% increased risk of gaining weight for every bottle or can consumed daily. However, the authors explained that diet beverages were not necessarily the cause of obesity or overweight, but the total amount of calories one consumed in their daily diet.
In fact, a more recent survey by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health involving about 24,000 participants revealed that people of healthy weight who drank diet beverages consumed fewer calories from food in their daily diet than people who drank sugary beverages. On the other hand, overweight and obese individuals who drank diet beverages consumed more calories from food in their diet than those who drank sugary beverages.
The results of the various studies done over the years suggest that drinking diet soda regularly is not a reliable weight loss solution. One may be taking zero calories from liquids but it is possible that at the same time, they are eating more calories from solid foods. Scientists observed that artificial sweeteners disrupt appetite control. Some experts explain that the effect of drinking beverages with zero calories on the body is for it to crave food that contains calories, which contributes to weight gain. Furthermore, Harvard School of Public Health researchers found that in studying the lifestyles and dietary habits of more than 120,000 people over two decades, many other factors could affect changes in weight, including food choices, the amount of physical activity, the amount of sleep, and TV-viewing habits.

Food shopping: normally the pinnacle of the mundane, the weekly grind, the longest of all the chores and never exciting... unless of course you find an exotic and slightly terrifying creature in your basket.
That's exactly what happened to a man shopping in his local Aldi in Edinburgh.
The snake was found wrapped around a pineapple that the man had bought from the store once he had arrived home. After calling animal welfare, it has been suspected that the snake travelled from Costa Rica where the bananas were imported from.
Although the snake has yet to be formally identified, Scottish animal welfare have affectionately named him Ricky.
"This is the first time we, or our supplier, who supplies all major supermarkets, have received a complaint of this nature... We are investigating this isolated incident with our supplier to understand how this could have happened."
... it's a big NOPE from us.

On Sunday, the Daily Caller reported that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones became the first NFL owner to announce that he will bench players who disrespect the flag.
"Yeah, I don't know about that, but if there is anything that is disrespectful to the flag then we will not play. You understand? If we are disrespecting the flag, then we won't play. Period. Period. We're going to respect the flag," Jones told reporters.
"We're going to respect the flag, and I'm going to create the perception of it. And we have. I'm not aware and wouldn't know what you're talking about. I'm not aware of that. . . . We as a team are very much on the page together. We have made our expression that we're together," he further said.
Jones also addressed news that Vice President Mike Pence walked out of the Colts game on Sunday after some 23 players of the San Francisco 49ers took a knee during the anthem.
The statement from Jones is the strongest from any owner yet. The NFL has a policy about paying respect to the anthem. Though, not necessarily a rule explicitly preventing kneeling. So, Jones is definitely going out on somewhat of a limb, if he attempts to crackdown on future protesters.
Basically, Jerry Jones is saying all the right things, but is technically wrong on the details. Though, as a powerful owner of the league's richest organization, he's in a prime spot to go before his fellow owners, and Commissioner Roger Goodell, and get the rules changed.
"Your move, Jerry," Dylan Gwinn wrote.
The NFL has taken a serious beating over players' protests this year, and is no longer seen as America's favorite sport. It will be interesting to see what, if any, impact Jones' actions will have on other owners and the league as a whole.


The Welbech Arabian Stud lies within the vast 13,000 hectare Schanskraal Private Estate, located in the Great Karoo of South Africa, (90kms from Graaff Reinet).
It was established in 2003 by Leanne Wels in partnership with Roger Beach, the owner of the Schanskraal Estate, to breed pure Arabian and Arabian cross Endurance horses for sale to both South African and overseas buyers. The hardiness of terrain and altitude of some 1,500 metres making it an ideal environment in which to breed and train Karoo Endurance horses.
Over the years, Leanne, a champion Endurance competitor herself and past captain of both junior and senior South African teams, has applied her extensive knowledge to the breeding, training and maintaining of our stable, hand picking superlative blood lines, predominantly Crabbet and Egyptian. The Welbech Endurance Team compete in numerous FEI and ERASA rides across South Africa during the course of the year as part of the intensive training programme of their horses.
Since 2010 extensive development has been taking place at the Welbech Stud to incorporate new landscaped fenced and gated paddocks with large individual areas for mares and foals, the endurance horses and the stallions. Some 5km of post and rail fencing has been installed to create 6 hectares of paddocks, a 60m showing arena and ring and covered Welbech Grandstand. The landscaping programme continues.
Over a decade, from 2005 to 2015 annually in October, we hosted the Schanskraal F.E.I.***Ride. It became a foremost event in the annual endurance riding calendar and attacted a high level of competition from participants attending from all across South Africa and neighbouring countries.
Under the F.E.I. and E.R.A.S.A regulations we offered 40km, 80km, 120km and 160km events over a horse friendly course. The terrain and supporting facilities were highly praised by officials, organisers and participants and boasted a spacious ablution block, extensive grass areas for camping, marquee tents and new horse paddocks.
In 2012, The Schanskraal Estate was chosen to host the South African 160km Championships during their FEI Ride in October and in 2013 they hosted the South African 160km International Championships with teams as far afield as Namibia and New Zealand competing.
Since the start in 2003 Webech has grown enormously and we have been successfully selling trained Arabian and part-Arabian Karoo Endurance horses. We are now well on our way to achieving our aim of becoming the "internationally renowned breeder of Arabian Endurance horses".
Since the start of our plan in 2010 we have installed new landscaped fenced and gated paddocks with some 5km of post and rail fencing, a 60m showing arena together with a covered Welbech viewing Grandstand and a spacious tack room. The landscaping programme is ongoing.

Moving towards a sustainable future: Decolonising theory, praxis and pedagogy in South Asia
Announcement published by Debadrita Chakraborty on Monday, November 28, 2022
Colonial and Post-Colonial History / Studies, Cultural History / Studies, South Asian History / Studies, Teaching and Learning
This is a call for paper for the panel titled ' Moving towards a sustainable future: Decolonising theory, praxis and pedagogy in South Asia' at the 27th European Conference of South Asian Studies (ECSAS) in Turin in July, 2023
The protests and public outcries of the Black Rights Matter movement which gained significant momentum post the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis law enforcement have unfolded globally to address systemic inequality. While systemic racism and cultural violence are being recognised in the West as an environment issue and racial equity as the focal point of sustainable development, in India the situation is quite the opposite with everyday forms of caste, class, ethnic, cultural and religious prejudices being dispensed to maintain hierarchies and supress the marginalised. While many organisations rushed to respond to injustice suffered by the lowest rung of the society – the Dalits through public statement of solidarity with the Dalit Matters Movement in India, time has shown how symbolic stances of solidarity do not suffice to remedy systemic prejudices in South Asia at large and India in particular. The pandemic and its aftermath has widened the economic, political, cultural and social rift among communities in South Asia.
Taking cue from the above, this panel through theoretical and empirical study aims to examine grassroots movements that are addressing structural issues in pedagogy that is preventing sustainable development. Some of the questions that will be looked into are: In what ways are agendas for decolonising education and sustainable futures connected? What is the role of cultural studies including the histories of colonized educational systems to develop decolonization methodologies for sustainable education and research in south-Asian nations? We invite academics from South Asia and beyond to begin renewed conversation concerning systemic racism and inequality is an opportunity to expand understanding of the SDGs and their respective indicators, refine materiality analyses, and prioritize actions for positive impact. The panel aims to generate intellectual space eventually revealing the "dialectical and multidimensional relationship" between the prevalent and predominant styles of discourse in educational research and the dormant objectives of the colonized countries to envisage their own traditional educational culture and history like Gurukul system and inculcation of life-skill courses. The Green School initiative introduced in Bhutan and parts of India is yet another example of not only inculcating eco-consciousness within the education system but also teaching students the meaning of plural communities and living in communal harmony devoid of hierarchies and colonial technologies of governance.
Some of the themes this panel aims to examine are: roles and responsibilities of educational organisations/institutions, individuals and civil society stakeholders in decolonising education; activism and praxis in reimagining education in India; theoretical and political connections between the decolonial and caste, class and gender justice agendas in education.
Open: November 15, 2022
Deadline for Submission: January 15, 2023
• Paper must be submitted in English
• Paper title should not exceed 150 characters
• Abstract should not exceed 1500 characters

Renaming the ML model to GLE was worth deferring. Because the current GLE is a modernized third generation ML. And the new one is something completely different. So much so that the change of name would have come in handy.
Almost all models from generation to generation grow in size – this does not surprise anyone. So GLE has added a length of 10.5 cm. A lot! And the very first ML of 1997 was even shorter by 34 centimeters … The wheelbase increased by 8 centimeters compared to its predecessor, and this is noticeable: the rear axle visually rolled away almost under the rear bumper. The result was an unprecedented space in the back seat – not surprising, because the distance between the axles came close to three meters, and this is closer to the S-Class and the GLS model, and not its predecessor.
Separate parts of the back of the sofa are now equipped with electric. The longitudinal course of the seats is 10 centimeters. Responsible for adjusting corporate block keys in the form of a chair on each door. Even headrests and window blinds are electrified. The servo also allows the folding of seats from the trunk. As an option available double third row.
Despite the increase in size, the new GLE looks more rapid and fit. There is an explanation for this: firstly, the SUV became a little lower (2.4 cm), and secondly, the regular size of the rims reached 22 inches. Aerodynamics worked out very carefully – the drag coefficient dropped to a value of 0.29. This is a record among SUVs.
A great find for designers is to offer two options for the front end. Many GLE buyers are quite conservative and are not yet ready for the shark style given by the new CLS and A-Class. They will definitely like the classic design option with horizontal slats of the grille. A younger and open clientele will suit the trapezoid "diamond" lattice.
A new interior with rectangular ventilation deflectors and huge displays (the right one – touch for the first time!) – as a reward for waiting for a new model. This is some kind of anticokpit: there is a lot of air here, and the driver's seat is not stylistically isolated. Even the central display belongs to the right passenger almost as much as the driver. On the central tunnel is a large touchpad instead of the old Comand rotary selector. If the system had functions innumerable before, now there are a lot of options to access them. Perhaps, the owner of the GLE will be able to open up new possibilities for the individualization of the "infotainment" all the time while he owns the car.
The old GLE still had a digital telephone keypad, and the new one no longer had a Comand swivel washer. Sunk!
And the new GLE understands gestures! And this function is solved differently than anyone else in the industry. Virtual buttons on the screen pop up or increase on the screen, if you bring your hand to them. This solution has long been used by the Volkswagen group and is found on both Audi and Skoda. However, the Mercedes system understands that the driver or the passenger reaches for the sensor. For example, in the massage menu, the system will automatically offer programs for the left or right seat, depending on whose hand is close to the screen. Important functions related to the management of the vehicle and the setting of some parameters from the passenger seat are completely unavailable.
And if the right seat is empty? What to hide, we all carry a bag there. So, if you reach out to her, the car will turn on the right navigator light. Very kindly! Of course, if a person is in the chair, the light will not come on.
The virtual assistant of Mercedes, which we pestered with questions on the A-Class test, is also on the GLE – and is always ready to help.
The most affordable version of the GLE is a 300 d 4Matic version with a two-liter 245-horsepower turbo diesel. Starting at 1600 rpm, the engine delivers 500 Nm and accelerates the initial GLE to 100 kilometers per hour in 7.2 seconds. The scheme of a full drive is traditional: with a center differential, the distribution of the moment is equally between the axles and electronic cross-axle locks.
Acquaintance with such a machine is still ahead of us, and during the driving presentation we had a chance to try out the top 6-cylinder modifications. Until the AMG version of GLE appeared, they remain the most expensive and dynamic in the line. They also have a different scheme for the full drive: the moment is transmitted to the front axle by an electronically controlled clutch. In off-road mode, it closes tightly, providing equal traction on the axles. If you order the Offroa package, a downshift will be added.
The new row "six" develops 330 horsepower (the 272-strong version of the 350 d is not supplied to us) and delivers a generous 700 Nm of traction from some 1200 revolutions per minute! Surprisingly, the three-liter turbodiesel sounds almost like a gasoline engine, although canceled noise insulation prevents it from raising its voice. The nine-speed automatic works perfectly, with a slight correction to the fact that the narrow operating range of any diesel engine and its specific voice always make the switch more visible. In any case, a large SUV, which at acceleration to 100 km / year leaves six seconds and fits into 8 liters per 100 kilometers with a quiet ride, it is difficult to make a complaint.
Switching to the 48-volt onboard network gave the GLE several important advantages. The first is "moderate" hybridity. On acceleration of 367 horses, the turbo helps 16 kilowatts and 250 "newtons" of an electric motor. To go on pure electricity GLE can not, but to drown out the engine at idle or when driving coasting – easily. And all this inner life of the power plant does not take the driver's attention at all.
The second fruit of the transition to 48 volts is the ability to implement on the serial car a structure called E-Active Body Control, in which the smoothness of the pneumatics was combined with the speed of hydraulics reactions. This is the most expensive and technological suspension, which can be ordered on the GLE.
E-Active Body Control is so steep that the feeling that a new toy has just been taken out of the package does not leave on the second day. On the right touch screen – four slider, as on a mixing console. Driving them with your finger, you can make the car sit deeply or stand on tiptoe over any of the four wheels. Movie, where GLE, swaying on the suspension, he leaves the sand trap, became viral. The engineers thought it was not enough, and they forced the SUV to dance.
I am afraid to admit this thought to myself: the GLE is even more comfortable with the restyled S 500, which met me at the airport, even with the usual air suspension. E-Active Body Control on a regular road does not offer any advantages in smoothness, although SUVs with "hydraulics" are shod in 20-inch tires with a 50-m profile (just imagine this wheel!) Instead of 22-inch low-profile tires that flaunt. pneumatic "GLE.
The difference is manifested only in large pits, which in the American province had to look. Less noticeable rolls and pecks, the car does not lift its nose during acceleration. The advantages of off-road hydraulics are obvious (a wheel that has come off the ground magically reopens it again), but there is no off-road vehicle. Believe the dance and videos.
It seems that the confrontation between Stuttgart and Munich comes to a new level: Mercedes GLE and BMW X5 are fresh, strong and surprisingly close to each other. The main difference, perhaps, is that BMW enthusiasts greeted the new X5 with bayonets, while lovers of the three-beam star are waiting for GLE with great enthusiasm. I note that all claims to the X5 are from the discharge of taste: too big nostrils, too Korean taillights, too well, I don't know, some not-such devices … In general, these claims have no relation to the character of the car. But the character revealed the most unexpected surprise: the GLE 450 with the in-line gasoline "six" seemed more temperamental and emotional than the similar X5 xDrive40i. Perhaps, these are abrupt first impressions that have mixed the cards, and maybe the main German marks have their landmarks shifted? We will follow this.

Watch Ariana Grande belt 'The Wizard and I' from NBC's Wicked 15th anniversary special
Nick Romano
By Nick Romano October 30, 2018 at 09:08 AM EDT
Wicked (Musical)
Show MoreAbout Wicked (Musical)
That's it. It's confirmed "God Is a Woman." We have "No Tears Left to Cry" after that Wicked anniversary celebration that aired Monday night on NBC. We're heavy "Breathin" after Ariana Grande hit the stage for a performance of "The Wizard and I," originally sung by Idina Menzel in the Broadway production of Wicked.
Donning her Emerald City finest with green lipstick and nails to match, Grande, 25, belted Elphaba's first show-stopping number for an audience of Wicked fans at A Very Wicked Halloween.
The singer sprinkled some of her pop diva runs on top of a more traditional Broadway-style belt. She then showed off her powerhouse pipes for the final verse. After Hairspray Live! and now this, Grande needs to "Focus" on more musicals, please.
Backstage, Grande shared a photo with Menzel, the original Wicked cast's green-skinned Elphaba.
A Very Wicked Halloween marked the 15th anniversary of Wicked with reunions of Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth (Glinda), performing "Defying Gravity" and "Popular," respectively. Adam Lambert also sang "As Long As Your Mine" with Ledisi, Pentatonix went a cappella for "What Is This Feeling?", and a roster of former Glindas and Elphabas joined Menzel and Chenoweth on "For Good."
After "One Short Day" — or, rather, one short night — we've all been changed for good.

As the name implies this is the hot one for Tuna. Yellowfin, Big Eye, or Bluefin...none of them can turn down this quick moving aggressive jet. The P.J. is my personal favorite all around game fish lure, all tackle, all weather, all speeds. Rig it with 7/0 to 8/0 hooks. But better put some ice in your fish box, because the rest will be history.

Slight retreat by Indian, Chinese armies in Ladakh
THE ASIAN AGE. | PAWAN BALI
Published : Jun 4, 2020, 12:54 am IST
Updated : Jun 4, 2020, 12:54 am IST
The Leh-based 14 Corps Commander Lt Gen Harinder Singh is scheduled to hold talks with his Chinese counterpart to resolve the matter

New Delhi: There appears to be some breakthrough in the stand-off between India and China at Ladakh before the crucial high level military talks on Saturday, with reports suggesting that both armies have retreated from one of the flash point in the Galwan Valley.
According to TV reports, in one of the flash points in Galwan Valley the Chinese army has retreated by 2 kilometers and Indian army by one kilometer. At Galwan valley there are three flash points between Indian and Chinese armies.
The high level military talks between Indian and Chinese officers expected on Saturday will mainly discuss stand-off between the two armies at Pangong Tso lake. According to sources, the stand-off at the Galwan Valley may not be on the agenda as India believes that in this area Chinese have come at a place which was never disputed.
However, there was no official confirmation on the agenda of the meeting.
Defence minister Rajnath Singh had said on Tuesday that a meeting of high level army officials from both sides is scheduled on 6th June to try to resolve the issue.
The Leh-based 14 Corps Commander Lt Gen Harinder Singh is scheduled to hold talks with his Chinese counterpart to resolve the matter. The meeting will take place at Chushul-Moldo.
In the northern bank of Pangong lake, India claims that its area is from Finger area 1 to Finger 8 and Chinese claim their area to be from Finger 8 till Finger 2. The stand-off between the two sides usually happens when patrol parties come face to face between finger area 4 and 8 which is claimed by both sides. This time, sources said that Chinese have brought a large number of troops to lay its claim in the area and prevent patrolling by Indian troops.
Fist fight and stone pelting had occurred between Indian and Chinese soldiers on Pangong Tso lake on the intervening night of May 5th and May 6th.
There have been more than 10 rounds of talks held already between the two sides at different level from Commanding Officers, Brigade to Major General level to try to resolve the issue. There have been even talks between the two side at the Galwan area at one of the patrolling points- PP14.
Meanwhile, Amid the ongoing standoff with India, the Chinese military in Tibet has held night-time high-altitude "infiltration exercises behind enemy lines", the Chinese state-owned media reported.
It is suspected that some troops from this exercise were diverted by the People's Liberation Army towards the Line of Actual Control at Ladakh.
A report in Beijing's Global Times said the PLA Tibet Military Command had recently sent troops to a high-altitude region at an elevation of 4,700 meters at night for infiltration exercises behind enemy lines and tested their combat capability under a harsh environment.

Sign marking the historic Old Beulah Baptist Cemetery, 1840. In 1815, the Church was built at the top of the hill.
The former site and first location "Old Beulah Baptist Church," raised in 1815 by the French Broad Baptist Church. It is thought that the church was located near the end of Mt. Pleasant View gravel road, off Pleasant Grove Rd, above the historic cemetery. [The sign date of "C 1840" refers to the Cemetery.]
Source for the following: Excerpts from a Times-News newspaper article, date unknown, "Is This Not the Land of Beulah."
" About the year 1750 to 1758, long before Beulah Church was formed, in the upper section of what is now known as Pleasant Grove Community, and Jeter Mountain, there came together a group of people, to read and study the Bible.
... This group met in the homes, and at a place called "Allison House," for years, carrying on their worship.
As time passed the 'Old Everet School House' was secured, according to a deed made from Efram Henry to Joseph and Noah Henry. (Recorded in Book 3 Page 242, register of deeds, Henderson County Court House.) This building served the people for many years. It was here that French Broad Baptist Church raised Beulah Baptist Church in the year 1815, with fifteen charter members. The trustees were as follows: Jeroam Blythe, Sion Blythe, Robert Jordon, Jeremiah Taylor, other members were: Perry Cantrell, Sarah Tramell, Joseph Evans, Joseph Henry, Thomas Henry, E. Hightower, Eli Merell, Jane Shipman, Jacob Shipman, B. Taylor, Elizabeth Williams.
... March, 1843, it was agreed to move Beulah Baptist Church to the mouth of Big Willow Creek, to the public school house, done by the order of the church [Jeremiah Osborn, church clerk]. ... The church agreed to appoint a committee for the purpose of making a sale of the old meeting house. This was on the Efram Henry Land. ... In 1844, Efram Henry made a deed to Joseph and Noah Henry for land on Bridge Creek, the old Everet School House property on McClain line, Laurel Creek, Fat Mountain, and Hamilton line, thus completing the sale of the original site of Beulah Baptist Church. "

The 2nd Old Beulah Baptist Church - this church once stood on Hemlock Lane, Big Willow. Built after the congregation decided in 1843 to move from the Pleasant Grove community to Big Willow. The 3rd "Beulah Baptist Church" that stands today was built in 1975. Photo courtesy of Jean Wells Huggins.

The second "Beulah Baptist Church" pictured at left was built after the congregation decided in 1843 to move from the Pleasant Grove community to Big Willow. This church was dismantled in 1979.
According to a Hendersonville Times-News article, January 1, 1989, "Etowah man converts church into his house,"
". . . [Alan] Kara took his hammer and crowbar to the white frame country church's interior ten years ago [1979] after reading an ad offering its contents for $250 to whoever dismantled it. A new brick church was built to replace the old church. "
"It took me six months to dismantle it. At the end of the project, the deacon came out to the church and gave me my $250 back."
[Kara] "took the materials from the church and applied himself to the task of raising the roof of their home."
"From the 150 -year-old Cartwright shingles to the front doors, Kara used every part of the church." The Kara's home was built in what is now the town of Mills River.
A 1987 painting of the former church on Hemlock Lane, by Jean Wells Huggins, hangs in the office area of the present day church.

Celebrating 200 years, 1815 - 2015
Today . . . Pleasant Grove Baptist Church
Pleasant Grove Baptist Church on Pleasant Grove Road originally stood by the Pleasant Grove Cemetery on Pleasant Grove Church Road. This became the second church to serve the residents of the community. Beulah Baptist (1815) had moved to Big Willow and some families wanted a church closer by. The families of this part of the Etowah Valley then formed Pleasant Grove Baptist church.
After brick support added to the building.
The history of the Etowah Presbyterian Church dates back to the latter part of the nineteenth century. In the spring of 1894, Mecklenburg Presbytery appointed a commission to organize a church at Holly Springs. This commission met at the appointed place July 28, 1894 and the church was organized. Present: Ministers - E. A. Sample, F. D. Hunt, H. M. Parker, L. H. Baldwin. Elders - J. H. Burgin of Mills River Church, Willie Deaver of Davidson River Church.
The name 'Midway' was chosen [because it was midway between the Mills River and Davidson River Presbyterian Churches]. The same pastor served the three churches, riding horseback and stopping at Midway to rest and preach in the afternoon.
The first building was erected on the Turnpike Road something over a mile south of Holly Springs, near the Harvey Moffett place, and north of the present Etowah Valley Golf Club. On April 15, 1900 a congregational meeting was called to discuss moving Midway to a more convenient location. A committee was appointed: Miss Julia Hood, Mrs. Charles English, and Mrs. O. P. Orr, to look into moving the church. The church was moved to its present location about 1904. It was built on land donated by Joseph Leander and Margaret Indiana Stewart Gash. It is said that Mr. Gash stated that he would give the land to any denomination that would build a church on it.
The Gashes had purchased the land from the Noah Henry's. The Noah Henry's lived in a log house near where the former Ingle's was located [now Etowah Shopping Center]. It was Mrs. Henry who went daily to the spot where the present church stands, and at the foot of a tree prayed that a Presbyterian Church might be built there. When the church was built, the tree was cut down and the church erected over the stump.

"INTERESTING VIEWS AT ETOWAH"
Photos taken July 1927 "during our meeting" at the Etowah Presbyterian Church
"Our Mountain Work (In Asheville Presbytery)"
published by The Home Mission Committee of Asheville Presbytery
Biltmore, N.C. Sept. 1927, Vol. X., No. 11.
The front page article accompanying the photographs above,
entitled "GOOD TIMES AT ETOWAH," begins by retracing the early years
of establishing and strengthening the church.
In closing, the pictures are described in detail, as follows.
"The pictures in the accompanying cut were taken during our meeting in July. In (1) you see our Saturday morning congregation. The people were busy, but attendance of church members was almost 100 per cent, day and night - the community responding well as [sic] night; in (2) on the wagon you see Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Anderson and their nine children, with Grandmother A. A. Anderson, to whom the church owes so much in the past. they have all come to church in the wagon - this they did night and day for eleven days - two miles over a road that a car could not travel - missing only once, a very rainy night; in (3) you see the catechism graduates of the Sunday School, fifteen of them, with Grandmother Anderson again. Seven of her grandchildren are in the picture. She it was who through so many yearskept the little church alive by her faithful teaching in the Sunday Schol. Part of the time she was the superintendent, the secretary, the teacher, all in one.
In (4) you view the home of Mr. Bert Grier, one of our deacons. Mr. and Mrs. Grier and their children who still remain at home are in the center, with the pastor and Mr. Rauschenberg on the ends. Of a large family, one is dead, the nothers not in the picture are grown up and away from home. We have just come out from a bountiful dinner to have our picture made.
Mr. Grier's home is indicative of the pioneer conditions which still maintain in our part of the country. From such good old homes as this have come much of the strength of our church - many of her ministres [sic] and workers. And we desire the world to know, that still, in our mountain strongholds, we have great numbers of stalwart boys and modest girls growing up unspoiled by sity life, ready to be used of the church. The Etowah field is full of opportunities for Sunday School Extension, full of boys and girls whom we expect the world to hear from some day, by and by.
In (5) we have the "Old Guard," so named by Mr. Rauschenberg because these never missed a single service. They are, left to right, Rev. W. S. Hutchinson, Mr. Meroney, Mr. Orr, Mrs. Homer McKinna, with Mrs. McKinna's little daughter, Helen Louise, in the front."
Article written by W. S. Hutchison, Pastor
[The article identifies Rev. F. Rauschenberg as the Superintendent of Home Missions and Sunday School Field Worker, and recognizes him for "his invaluable help in gathering the people and putting renewed courage into their hearts."]
1899 - 1906 Etowah Mission of the Episcopal Church,
from the Ravenscroft School of Asheville
Episcopal Mission services were held for seven years in Oak Forest School.
The Ravenscroft Episcopal Theological Training School of Asheville established a mission in Etowah in 1899.
Services were held in the Oak Forest School, but ended after seven years. The name 'Ravenscroft' refers to the street in Asheville where the Episcopal school was located.
Source for the following text: "The Ravenscroft School in Asheville"
Dale Wayne Slusser, McFarland & Company, 2014.
"The completion of the 'Hendersonville and Brevard Railroad' in 1894 not only provided easier access to the Ravenscroft mission churches at Brevard and Bowman's Bluff [Gethsemane Church 1887 - 1907], but also resulted in the opening of a mission church at Etowah, which was one of the stops on the new rail line. The Rev. A. H. Stubbs would get off at the Etowah station when visiting the church at Bowman's Bluff, which was just three miles south of the station.
Records indicate that the Etowah mission was established sometime in 1899. Services were held in a schoolhouse at Oak Forest, which was a public school built around 1872. The school was located along the modern-day School Road, just across from the present-day Oak Forest Cemetery.
Apparently the congregation at Etowah was very small; in fact, during the mission's short lifespan there were never any communicant members. The 1901 report of the Ravenscroft Associate Mission stated that in the previous year (September 1899 - September 1900), thirteen services were held at Etowah, but there were no baptisms, no confirmations, no marriages, no burials and no communicants!
Services were held regularly at Etowah beginning in 1899, but it was not until the September 7, 1902, service that 'an offertory [was] received for the first time' and the mission officially named St. Paul's. St. Paul's was maintained by the Rev. Stubbs and lay readers from Gethsemane Church at nearby Bowman's Bluff. Frank Valentine, an Englishman from Bowman's Bluff who also was a headmaster at Ravenscroft High School in Asheville, would often play the organ during services at St. Paul's. But by 1904, the mission at Etowah had been handed over to the Rev. R. N. Wilcox, rector at St. James in downtown Hendersonville. Sometime after 1906 the mission ceased to exist."
1907 Etowah Methodist Episcopal Church
Today, Etowah United Methodist Church
Excerpt from EUMC website:
"The earliest recollection of a church in Etowah was of a small frame structure called Belew's Chapel, located two miles from the present site. Callie Robertson tells us that one day when picking huckleberries with her mother up on the hill where the Pine lake subdivision now stands, they came across the church ruins and her mother told her, "This is where we used to worship before we built the new building."
In search of 1907 photo
The new building was of white frame construction and was completed in 1907 at the present site on fourteen acres of donated land. A new name went with the new building – Etowah Methodist Episcopal Church. Since the community had no public school building the church opened its doors every weekday for the school children. The first preachers were also teachers. A wood burning stove warmed the place and kerosene lamps provided light. It was the ladies Aid Society that raised money through ice cream socials and the sale of homemade quilts that provided the first electric lights.
In the early days the preacher traveled about the circuit in a horse drawn buggy. When the roads and weather would not permit this, he came by horseback. Worship services were held on Saturday night and Sunday morning only once a month because of the large circuit. Through the ensuing years Etowah Church was grateful to students and teachers from Brevard College who filled the pulpit."
1917 Etowah Baptist Church
History as written by Margaret Morris Gash (?)
Article appeared in Western Carolina Tribune, date to be identified.
"Everything must have a beginning, whether it be great or small. The most beautiful flower in the world comes from a tiny seed. When the flower has reached its maturity, it also brings forth more seeds and the garden plot must be expanded. This is true in the church organization.
In search of 1926 photo, one room brick church.
In the spring of 1915 we see four mothers with consecrated hearts dedicating their lives to God and organizing a small Sunday School at the Oak Forest School House. These four mothers were Mrs. David Orr, Mrs. Cornish, Mrs. Mrs. G. W. Weese and Mrs. F. M. Blythe. Their invitation was, "We Methodists and Presbyterians are organizing a Baptist Sunday School at Oak Forest. We need you. Come and join us!"
Soon after this, the Rev. Elijah Allison was passing through the community and heard of the efforts of these people in rendering such a great service to God and His people. Under the leadership of the Holy Spirit, Brother Allison organized the church and became its first pastor. It was organized on Friday, February 9, 1917, at 11:45 A.M. with the following sixteen charter members:
Mr. Webster J. Ervin, Mrs. Jesse Ervin, Mr. Robert Merrill, Mrs. Belle Merrill, Mr. J. P. McKinna, Mrs. Dollie McKinna, Mr. A. C. McKinna, Mrs. Fannie McKinna, Mr. T. E. McKinna, Mr. W. H. McKinna, Mr. J. Lewis McKinna, Mrs. Annie Mae McKinna Parker, Mr. G. W. Owens, Mrs. Lucinda Owens, Mr. G. W. Weese, Mrs. Addie Weese Morgan
The church continued to meet at the Oak Forest School until 1926. By then the little flock had increased in number until the school was too small. A new building was erected on the present site of the church under the direction of the pastor at that time, Rev. Carl E. Blythe (1881 - 1964). The lot for this building was donated by Mrs. J. P. McKinna in memory of her husband. The logs for the construction were given by the members. On October 31, 1926, the first service was held in the one room brick church." [Rev. Blythe is buried at Pleasant Grove Cemetery]

Miaou Moon is an unusual plateformer, slow paced and sometimes close to a puzzle game. You really need to plan and time your movements to complete the levels. Playing with gravity when you can only propel yourself in two directions is often tricky.
The best way to get a good feeling of the game is to try out our DEMO !
You are Captain Miaou, traveling back to your planet with a cargo full of high energy food. Hit by a meteorite, you're ejected and your food scattered all around the 5 orbiting moons. How will you survive, lost in space?
Your only chance of survival is to grab energy food to propel yourself forward. Too few energy and you'll starve to death, too much and you'll explode! When you eat, your cat gets stronger and bigger, but deflates each time you propel. A bit of strategy is involved you can't spam your control buttons like in other plateformers.
Make way through 5 moons displaying different physical properties, adapt your gameplay and tweak your cat's suit to survive!
