Yaya Toure Announces His Retirement From Football At 35
Former Manchester City and Barcelona midfielder, Yaya Toure has officially retired from football at 35.
His controversial agent Dimitri Seluk announced the news this morning and revealed the Ivorian superstar will now concentrate on a new career as a coach.
"I say this for the first time: Yaya decided to end his career as a champion," Touré's agent Dimitry Seluk told Russian outlet Sport 24 on Friday.
"The farewell match given to him by Manchester City, in principle, was the real end of his playing career. Not only in this team, but in general.
"Yaya is one of the best players in Africa and he had one of the brightest careers in the history of African football.
"We talked for a long time about this topic. Of course, every football player wants to play as long as possible. In terms of his physical condition, Yaya could do this at a sufficiently high level for another five years.
"But we came to the conclusion that he, the football player who played for Barcelona and Manchester City, could not lower the bar with his hands.
"We see many players who continue their careers at a sufficiently mature age, and this is commendable.
"But Yaya and I chose a different path: to leave as a champion and start a new stage in life – a career as a coach, in which, I am sure, Yaya will reach even greater heights than those he achieved as a football player.
"There are no African coaches in the English Premier League. I think."
Touré who left Manchester City at the end of the 2017/18 season and became a free agent, joined Olympiacos in September 2018 for the second time in his career.
However, the former midfielder lasted just over three months at the Greek Superleague club before leaving by mutual agreement in December
Yaya Toure who started senior football career with Beveren in 2001, also played for Metalurh Donetsk, Olympiacos, Monaco, Barcelona and Manchester City.

De Profundis Signs With Transcending Obscurity Records
2017 has been a momentous year for De Profundis, as the band celebrated its tenth anniversary with exciting tours across the UK and Europe with the likes of Taake, Necrophagia and David Vincent's I Am Morbid. The band also released the "Decayed: 2007 – 2017" career retrospective collection, 10,000 copies of which were distributed with newsstand copies of the UK's number one extreme music magazine, Zero Tolerance. The celebrations of the past concluded with a stunning show at the Unicorn in London, the venue where the band played their first gig all those years ago. Now the time has come to look to the future once more... De Profundis has signed a worldwide deal with Transcending Obscurity Records. Based in India, Transcending Obscurity is one of the fastest growing and most well respected labels in the world of underground music and De Profundis will be joining a roster than can already boast the likes of Paganizer, Officium Triste, Echelon and other renowned extreme metal names from around the globe. Speaking about the new label, the band have issued the following statement: We are excited to sign with Transcending Obscurity as over the last few years we have seen their profile rise and rise with the signing of top quality extreme metal bands - including the legendary Paganizer. We were looking for a label to push De Profundis into our next decade of existence and in Kunal we have found someone who shares our enthusiasm, professionalism and work ethic. Now that we have joined forces with Transcending Obscurity we cannot wait to unveil details of our fifth album which will be our heaviest to date. We promise you 2018 will the year of De Profundis!" Meanwhile label boss Kunal Choksi commented: ""I've seen the band grow closely and as fate would have it, got the chance to work with them. They're evidently a very serious and professional band, and after listening to their new album which is more death metal and powerful than before, I feel this will be a great partnership. I can't wait to work towards giving it a worldwide release in early 2018." As both statements make clear the new album from De Profundis is set to be released in early 2018 and it is undoubtedly the heaviest, most intense album of the band's career so far. To mark this new beginning De Profundis have unveiled a new band logo, designed for them by Gary Ronaldson of Bite Radius Design (Kreator, Misery Index, Pig Destroyer etc), which reflects the savage new twist to their trademark style. Details of pre-orders and the various formats will follow shortly, as well as the reveal of the awesome album artwork – watch this space!

Recent improvements in UVB and UVC LEDs from Sensor Electronic Technology, Inc. (SETi) have led to increased optical power and longer LED life.
SETi has led the pack in Deep UV LEDs (LEDs operating in the UVB and UVC range) since it launched its first product in 2004 and has remained world leaders with the highest performance products and broadest wavelength coverage.
Once again, SETi defines itself as market leaders by increasing lifetime of its standard SMD products to >10,000 hours and offering a guaranteed minimum of 10,000 operational hours to a level of L50, provided the LEDs are operated within the specified guidelines.
As with all LEDs, UV LED power output decreases over time and an L50 lifetime specification refers to the time when the optical output power has reached 50% of its initial value. This lifetime guarantee applies to all SMD products operating at 275nm, 285nm, 295nm and 310nm and includes the large area 10mW 275nm product.
Emmanuel Lakios, President and CEO of SETi commented "we have been realigning our SMD pricing and now with a guaranteed lifetime of greater than 10,000 hours, our surface mount LEDs have become a cost effective solution for UVB and UVC needs from industrial to consumer applications".

NEHMA Awarded Two Major Grants Totaling Over $1 million for New Art Research & Education Center

LOGAN, Utah — The Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art at Utah State University has received $750,000 from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support the construction of a new Art Research and Education Center on the Logan campus.
NEHMA is one of only two organizations in the country to receive that large of a sum — the maximum amount possible — from the NEH, which awarded $24.7 million total in federal grants this cycle to cultural institutions across the United States. The National Endowment for the Humanities grant is the largest federal grant for the arts received to date at USU.
NEHMA also received a $310,000 Cultural Capital Facilities Grant from the Utah Division of Arts & Museums, the largest of all grants awarded by the division.
"The Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art is a treasured asset on our campus," said USU President Noelle E. Cockett. "We are fortunate to have such an extraordinary art collection here at Utah State University for our students and community. The new Art Research and Education Center will provide educational opportunities for the 21st century, and we are honored that the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Utah Division of Arts & Museums have provided funding for this initiative."
This is the first time the state has offered grant funding for arts facilities, allocating $2 million, and is a significant demonstration of their support for the arts in Utah.
"NEHMA is a unique learning resource because it has something for any college course or student, regardless of discipline," said USU Executive Vice President and Provost Francis Galey. "The museum's extensive K-12 programming supports core academic standards as well as community programs. Our museum, and the new Art Research and Education Center, demonstrate that we take seriously our mission as a land-grant institution to provide access to education."
Katie Lee-Koven, executive director and chief curator at NEHMA, said the total cost of the new facility is projected to be $6.2 million. In addition to the recently awarded grants, NEHMA has secured a private gift of $2.8 million and continues to look for private donations.
"The purpose of the new NEHMA Art Research and Education Center is twofold: to support 21st-century learning needs — including space for students and learners of all ages, scholars, and the local community to engage with art and collections in a way that complements the museum's current offerings — and to accommodate and preserve the museum's growing collection," Lee-Koven said.
"In this facility, visitors will have more access and interaction with artwork on the main floor, which includes an open work area/classroom, research library, and visible storage component," Lee-Koven added. "The visible storage really allows us to show how museums 'do what we do' caring for these collections and will allow artworks to be displayed in protective cases on a rotating basis or at the request of researchers or teachers. We envision the upper level as a classroom for arts education courses at USU, K-12 classes, and community classes. The basement will provide more compacted visible storage for future collection growth. Visitors will be able to use the new facility in a customized way to support curriculum and academic needs as well as personal research projects. Really, this facility has the capacity to add quality to the depth of learning we offer and complement the existing museum with interactive learning opportunities."
As the only art museum within an 80-mile radius, NEHMA is a cultural hub for Cache Valley and surrounding rural communities in northern Utah and southern Idaho and serves the entire state through a variety of outreach activities. As the communities served continue to grow and diversify, NEHMA is committed to responding to their cultural, artistic, and educational needs. A significant component of this is the expansion and diversification of the museum's collection as well. The facility will create valuable art resources for students, faculty, and the greater community.
Plans for the project will be included in the upcoming exhibition "Looking Backward & Forward: Forty Years with NEHMA & What's Next," which celebrates the museum's 40th anniversary through selections from the collection's past — one artwork from each year — and a preview of the collection's future.

10 Famous Ex-Cons Who Turned It Around
Many convicts spend their lives going in and out of jail, never getting on the right track. But there are some who do make it out of the slammer and completely turn their lives around for the better. These people deserve some recognition for proving that criminals can be rehabilitated. Here's a look at 10 famous ex-cons who turned it around and have successfully avoided getting drawn back into the bad habits that got them thrown into the clink in the first place:
Charles Colson
Charles Colson worked as the former Special Counsel for President Richard Nixon from 1969 to 1973, and was best known for being part of the Watergate Seven. Colson pleaded guilty to Watergate-related charges and to obstruction of justice. He was sentenced for one to two years in prison, but only served seven months at the federal Maxwell Prison in Alabama. Colson made a change for the good while in prison. He converted to Christianity and became deeply impacted by the people he met there. Following his release, Colson started Prison Fellowship, a national ministry that helps prisoners develop or restore a relationship with Christ. Colson's touching program has helped prisoners live a better life and strengthen their spirit.
Martha Stewart is best known as a business mogul and domestic diva, but her image certainly changed when she was convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and two counts of making false statements. Essentially, Stewart lied to investigators about a stock sale and was later sentenced to five months in federal prison. After her release from Alderson Federal Prison Camp, Stewart launched her comeback. She returned to television with The Martha Stewart Show, released a couple books and took on several new projects that helped rebrand her name and reputation.
From 1996 to 2001, Robert Downey Jr. was one of Hollywood's biggest bad boys. The actor was arrested several times during these years for drug-related charges involving possession of cocaine, heroin, and marijuana. Downey has battled substance abuse for the majority of his life and was unsuccessful in his drug treatment programs. He was constantly on probation and spent a year in California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison in Corcoran, California. Downey eventually battled his addictions and made a highly successful comeback, starring in several blockbuster hits.
When Michael Vick was arrested for running an illegal interstate dog fighting ring and sentenced to three years in prison, football fans didn't know if he'd ever return to the game. Vick pleaded guilty to federal felony charges and served 18 months in prison. After his release, Vick signed with the Philadelphia Eagles and made a successful comeback. During his return season, Vick threw his longest touchdown pass of his career and helped his team win the NFC East title after stepping up as the starter quarterback. As part of his probationary obligations, Vick continues to speak to local youth about his mistakes and how to avoid a troubled life.
In the beginning of Tim Allen's comedic career, he was arrested at the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport in Michigan for possession of cocaine. Allen had just under 1.5 pounds of cocaine on him and was charged with drug trafficking. Because Allen disclosed the names of the other drug dealers, his original life sentencing was shortened to three to seven years. Allen was paroled after serving two years and four months at the Federal Correctional Institution in Sandstone, Minnesota. The ex-convict quickly turned his life around after prison and became one of America's favorite comedic actors.
Nicole Richie was most widely known for being a troubled teen with a reckless lifestyle until she finally turned her life around. In 2003, Richie was arrested and charged with possession of heroin and driving with a suspended driver's license. Three years later, she was arrested again for a DUI after failing a sobriety test and reportedly driving the opposite way on the freeway. She was sentenced to four days in jail, but only served 82 minutes at the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood, California. After her short stint in jail, Richie enrolled in an 18-month anti-drinking driver education program in order to get sober. Richie gave up her bad girl ways to focus on her career as a fashion designer, author and mother of two.
Christian Slater's acting career took a beating when he was arrested three times from 1989 to 1997. His first run-in with the law was in 1989, when he was arrested for drunk driving and assault. In 1994, Slater was arrested for trying to board a plane with a gun in his luggage. His last conviction was for assaulting his then-girlfriend and a police officer who was trying to defend her. He was also under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Slater attended a rehabilitation facility for 100 days and then served 59 days in jail. After his release from jail, Slater made a successful comeback in television and film and turned his life around for the better.
Rap superstar 50 Cent, also known by his real name Curtis Jackson III, was arrested on drug-related charges and sentenced to three to nine years in prison in 1994. Back then, Jackson was still an aspiring rapper, who was determined to make something of himself after his release. 50 Cent did his time in an abbreviated six-month boot camp and earned his GED. After his release from behind bars, 50 Cent began rapping and his popularity surged with the release of his first album in 2000.
Danny Trejo earned his label as Hollywood's most notable Mexican bad guy from his own experiences in the slammer. The heavily tattooed tough guy spent years in Los Angeles prisons for drug-related and robbery charges. There, Trejo got his life together and finally got clean. Since his release from prison, Trejo has gone on to star in several action films and television series.
Marion Jones was a world famous Olympian who won five medals in track and field at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, but was later stripped of her medals when she admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs for the competition. She was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice for her use of steroids and her involvement in a check fraud scheme. She was sentenced to six months in prison and turned it around after her release. In 2010, Jones made a sports comeback as a point guard for the WNBA Tulsa Shock.

Battle of Will for the Bard's soul 2
Shakespeare's work should be appreciated as complex art as well as marketable entertainment, says Kate McLuskie. Whereas Tom McAlindon believes that theory-driven radicals are sapping the joy from the Bard's vision
In an article in The Independent on Sunday in 1991, Stanley Wells, director of "the dispassionate Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-upon-Avon", acknowledged that a battle was being fought over the Bard's soul. The battle was between the politicised, theory-driven radicals (known in the US as "new historicists" and in Britain as "cultural materialists") and those critics whom the radicals have dubbed liberal humanist, conventional or traditional.
But it could be said that even in 1991 the battle had already been won by the radicals. A measure of their success is the popularity of Political Shakespeare: New Essays in Cultural Materialism (1985), a manifesto collection edited by Jonathan Dollimore and Alan Sinfield.
Since 1990, discreet control of the programme at the Stratford Institute's biennial International Shakespeare Conference has served to obscure this conflict, the issues involved and the professional triumph of the radicals.
But the announcement of Kate McLuskie's appointment as director of the institute means that there can no longer be any doubt as to where the power in the Shakespeare establishment resides and which mode of criticism can claim supremacy.
McLuskie has never published a book on Shakespeare, nor edited one of his plays, but her attitude to his work, as well as her preferred method of literary analysis, are fully apparent in her combative essay in Political Shakespeare on Measure for Measure and King Lear .
The essay is a critique of Shakespeare's alleged misogyny, and conforms perfectly to the radical aim of using analysis in such a way as to effect "the transformation of a social order that exploits people on grounds of race, gender and class" (to quote the foreword of Political Shakespeare ).
In pursuit of this aim, some radicals contend that Shakespeare's plays subtly indict the injustices of the prevailing social order. More typically, they either present him as a Machiavellian conservative who used his art to seduce his audience into passive acceptance of an oppressive status quo, or exclude him from discussion and treat "the Shakespearean texts" as robotic vehicles of a Tudor-Jacobean ideology whose contradictions invite deconstructive analysis.
McLuskie is a critic of the latter kind. For her, those female critics who detect in the plays an emergent feminism are simply peddling the old liberal-humanist version of Shakespeare that obstructs the "project for fundamental social change" in the present. In her view, a comedy such as Measure for Measure "blames women for their sexual oppression", while King Lear excludes them from its definition of human nature and traces its vision of chaos primarily to female insubordination and lust.
She advocates renouncing the regulative ideal of objectivity in interpretation as "spurious" and abstracting from the alleged contradictions of the text evidence which allows us to "resist the (ideological) position the play offers". Subversive readings of this kind, she suggests, could be projected on stage by means of appropriately slanted acting, costume and directorial style. In a production of King Lear , for example, "comic recognition of the material facts of existence" (for instance, patriarchal oppression of women) could be achieved by means of added comic effects designed to undermine "the emotional impact (of the tragedy) which is its principal power in modern productions", but that unfortunately "endorses the ideological position at every stage".
McCluskie acknowledges that subjecting Shakespeare's plays to "dispassionate analysis" and "demystification" is done at a cost: it involves "pleasure denied... the pleasure of comedy" and "the emotional, moral and aesthetic satisfaction afforded by tragedy". But she has no doubt that this self-denying discipline is necessary in the pursuit of "new forms of social organisation and affective relationships". Shakespearean criticism, she concludes, must "assert the power of resistance, subverting rather than coopting the domination of the patriarchal bard".
It should be emphasised that, although McLuskie's concern is with sexual identity and female oppression, her antagonistic attitude to Shakespeare, as well as her methodological procedures, are representative of radical criticism and, as such, her appointment gives cause to reconsider the pedagogical and disciplinary impact of such criticism.
Criticism of this kind is joyless and impoverishing, a denial of the right to that full, imaginative entry into an author's vision that is the chief reason for becoming a student of literature in the first place. By exaggerating and focusing obsessively on Shakespeare's failure to transcend completely the sociopolitical attitudes of his time, it ignores that fidelity to the workings of human nature and the patterns of human experience that every generation and diverse culture instantly recognise in his plays; indeed, it dogmatically denies their universality. The art of the plays is either ignored or treated as a dangerous distraction, being viewed as another ploy to conceal their ideological defects. Thus the reasons for Shakespeare's greatness are never addressed, and what should be a basic critical inquiry in the classroom never begins.
By failing to promote an intelligent appreciation of literary art, which heightens awareness of the complexities of language, and by directing attention only to those aspects of the text that fit the political purpose and the theorised interpretive model, radical criticism effectively diminishes the capacity to read any text well. Careful examination of the leading radicals' published work has frequently shown an astonishing disregard for the basic principles of scholarly inquiry and textual analysis. Theirs is a kind of criticism that cannot inculcate in students a genuine respect for the text as a whole and for accuracy, logical coherence and evidential justification in the development of a critical argument.
In a 2002 interview in The Independent , Philip Roth spoke about the nature and long-term effects of "all these ideological methods" on the teaching of English literature in the US. They have resulted, said America's greatest living novelist, in "the total absence of intellectual rigour. Students have no idea what it is to think. It's scandalous. An intellectual tragedy."
Tom McAlindon is a professor in the department of English at Hull University and has written the introduction for Othello in the new Penguin Shakespeare, to be published in 2005.

Colors on the Mars
https://www.rt.com/news/342152-mars-nasa-colors-blue/
Mars is the fourth planet from the sun.
It is often called the red planet because iron oxide on its surface gives it a reddish color.
Mars has similar seasons to those we have on Earth (because its axis has a similar tilt as Earth's), except that the seasons last about twice as long.
A year on Mars, or one complete trip around the Sun, also takes Mars about twice as long as Earth - 686 days. It is believed that Mars once supported water and oceans on its surface, but now there is only ice at its polar ice caps.
Mars has two moons: Deimos and Phobos / See below

The "Face on Mars"
The "Face on Mars" is one of the great modern mysteries about Mars. The "Face" first came to our attention 38 years ago, and debate about what it is has raged ever since.
The Viking spacecraft reached Mars in July of 1976. It had two missions. One was to send a lander down to inspect the surface of Mars. The other was to orbit the red planet, within a 1,000 miles of the surface, and take thousands of pictures to help to determine the best landing site for the Viking 2 spacecraft due to reach Mars in a few weeks.
On July 26, 1976, during Viking 1′s thirty-fifth orbit of Mars, a set of photographic images arived at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. One of the photographic frames, taken in the northern desert Cydonia region, showed a mile long, 1,500 mesa that looked like a humanoid face.
SEEING IS / ISN'T BELIEVING:
When it comes to the Face on Mars, people tend to believe one of two things. That the "Face" is:
A. A striking pattern of light and shadow cast by hills in the area.
B. A sculpture carved by sentient (intelligent) Martians.
According to author Robert C. Kiviat , "NASA's planetary scientists have maintained over the years that the face is a natural rock formation produced by wind erosion and that the particular lighting angle at which it was photographed created its resemblance to a human face."
A key member in the opposing camp is lead by Richard Hoagland, a former member of the JPL press corps, and the author of "The Monuments of Mars." Hoagland has led a long investigation into the Vking data. He and his team have analyzed different photographic frames, taken at different angles, weeks apart. He claims that he and his researchers have considerable evidence that the "face", as well as some nearby pyramid-shaped objects and other "artifacts," are the work of sentient creatures.
Hoagland first became involved with the Martian face in 1981. He attended a science conference where Vincent DiPietro and Gregory Molennar made a presentation. As Hoagland puts it, "These two computer-imaging experts had obtained data tapes of the face and had enhanced it. Their photographs showed some remarkable, stunning detail that was not at all evident on the raw image."
According to Hoagland, he saw that the face "…had features which were humanoid, and it seemed above chance that it also had the right proportion." It was at this point that Hoagland began to consider that the face might have been constructed by intelligent beings. By 1983, Hoagland came to be convinced of the face's intelligent origin, leading to his fifteen year quest to "prove" the face on Mars is proof of intelligent life on Mars, as well as to try to get NASA to a send a photographic mission to Mars with the primary purpose to get new, better shots of the Martian face.
Powerful telescopes from a spacecraft orbiting Mars have found new evidence to prove the existence of life on Mars. Telescopes took pictures of nine pyramids on the surface of Mars. The pyramids, as it seems, are not of the natural origin. The images include striking statues of human and animal faces, clearly visible from space, as well as large drawings featuring the profiles of primates and canines.
Andrew Basiago, the president of Mars Anomaly Research Society, named the discovery 'A New Cydonia.' The scientist believes that there were three civilizations on Mars, one of which was hidden underneath the planet's surface.
The scientist previously said that the pictures, taken by Spirit rover, contained images of five primate species, one of which he named 'Sendak.' Basiago is certain that Mars used to be a home for a highly-developed civilization. However, a space catastrophe, which supposedly hit the planet about 11,500 years ago, destroyed nearly everything on the Red Planet, as well as Atlantis on Earth.

'Traffic light' and perfectly-shaped ball spotted on Red Planet.
Mars, NASA, Social networks, Space,True Fiction
With the now increased traffic in the Red Planet's region – since India's satellite reached Mars's orbit Wednesday – a traffic light might just be what's been missing. And it didn't take long for one to be discovered.
NASA's Mars rover, the Curiosity, which has been exploring the planet for over two years, fitted with 17 cameras, sent a picture of something that looks much like Earth's traffic lights.
The mobile robot submits plenty of curious pictures from the surface of Mars, which are on public display. This time it was a space enthusiast from the UK, Joe Smith, running an ArtAlienTV YouTube channel, who spotted a striking resemblance.
"I have been following the images from NASA since the start and I flick through them on the NASA website every day. I saw this one and I thought, 'Hang on, that looks a bit strange.' I think it looks like a traffic light," Smith said of a stack of several large rocks from the footage.
"It is hard to tell how big it would be without any point of reference, but I would estimate it was about 12 inches," Smith said, adding that he "posted it on the internet and people said they thought it looked like a set of traffic lights, too."
And there is also that natural perfectly-shaped ball on a flat rock surface.
According to NASA scientists, the spherical Mars rock is not as big as it looks – it's only about two-fifths of an inch wide, and is most likely a "concretion," a hard solid mass formed by matter accumulation, Discovery News reported.
The number of compelling images from the Red Planet might now increase, with India becoming the first Asian country to reach the planet. After positioning itself in the planet's orbit, the country's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) satellite immediately signed up on Twitter.
The @MarsOrbiter is already communicating with NASA's Curiosity, and provides updates on the mission.

On May 8, 2001, a press conference was held in New York City which many are calling a scientific milestone.
This event was held to announce the discovery of a new human-like face (photo right), strange tunnels, pyramids and signs of current vegetation on Mars from among the 65,000 recently released NASA/JPL photographs taken by the Mars Global Surveyor.
The press conference presents the extraordinary new face, which is a mile and a quarter wide and is located near Syrtis Major (about 3,000 miles from the famous Sphinx-like face photographed by NASA in the Cydonia region of Mars).

Its been a while. I seemed to have taken an unplanned blogging holiday due to my overwhelming pile of school work. It seems to be growing faster by the minute, and practically speaking that is probably what I should be doing, but I've missed this.
Blogging is something that I really enjoy as it allows me to escape from the real world and lose myself in my words. I have a passion for literature so it became no surprise that I fell in love with blogging as well. What I am trying to get at is, like with all things we love we sometimes need to have a short break from it to realise how much we really enjoyed it. I guess the phase "absence makes the heart grown fonder" fits perfectly to this situation.
Over the break I have been busy. I don't just meet run of the mill "I'm busy" busy, I mean well and truly, undeniably busy. I made the mistake of telling my manager at work that I'm saving up for my holiday to Corfu in July (mum is refusing to pay for me now that I have a 'job') which meant I asked him for some extra shifts to help pay for it. This may have backfired slightly as for the last few weeks I have been working over 20 hours a week, along with going to Sixth Form, and trying to do all the other stuff I enjoy. Needless to say, my blog suffered, my social life suffered and my grades suffered. Woop D in Biology! NOT! I have now talked to him about this and I'm back to my standard 14 hours, which is still over the recommended hours for a 17 year old, but it is more manageable for me.
I am now a published journalist, she says lightly. Well, slight exaggeration, I joined the school newspaper. This has been something I have wanted to try out for a while now, and with this being my last year at school I thought I would at least give it a shot. The student and teacher editor's seems to like my stuff, so I'm going to be in the next issue. I am so excited.
I am now the proud owner of a DSLR camera, I have wanted one of these for so long, and since I have been working so many more hours I can now afford one. (I know what you're thinking, "Georgie that money is for your holiday" but I got a 'Christmas' bonus of a 3 digit number, so I can afford it). I have been rather enjoying taking pictures of flowers, as you can tell from the attached photographs.
So, as you can see my schedule has been pretty jam packed so I hope you forgive me from the lack of content. I should, hopefully be picking it back up again now, and expect to see more 'professional' photos *nudge nudge*.

In 2017, the Hawaii Life Charitable Fund (HLCF) donated to support the efforts of several non-profit organizations based in Hawaii. The Hawaii HomeOwnership Center (HHOC) was one of five local charity organizations to receive $2,500 from the HLCF's Hawai'i Love grant program. HHOC assists first-time homebuyers to overcome barriers to homeownership by providing coaching and resources. The grant supported the work that HHOC accomplishes statewide, including outreach efforts and providing direct services to aspiring homeowners.
Our partners at the Hawai'i Community Foundation (HCF) recently spoke with Reina Miyamoto of the Hawaii HomeOwnership Center about the impact of the funding provided by the HLCF's Hawaii Love grant program. Reina described her organization's mission and shared the stories of Vickie Punua-McGinnis, a new homeowner helped into a home of her own by HHOC.
Hawaii Community Foundation: What's your organization's mission? Please provide some specifics about the work you do.
Reina Miyamoto of Hawaii HomeOwnership Center: The Hawaii HomeOwnership Center provides education, information, and support to create successful first-time homeowners in Hawaii. By addressing barriers and increasing rates of home ownership, the HomeOwnership Center aims to build stronger families and communities throughout the state of Hawaii.
Hawaii HomeOwnership Center provides classes and confidential homeownership coaching to prepare buyers for the purchase process. Coaching topics can include addressing barriers to mortgage readiness, referrals to buyer assistance programs, and any concerns about buying a home.
Our lifetime membership allows our members to utilize our services as much as they need or want assistance. In addition to the classes and coaching, we also provide supplemental pre-purchase workshops, as well as post-purchase services. We believe that sustaining homeownership is just as important as becoming an owner.
HCF: Can you share a story about someone who was impacted positively by your organization's work?
Reina at HHOC:When I arrived to videotape a testimony interview at the home of one of our recent owners, Vickie Punua-McGinnis, I was greeted at the door by her grandson Izayah with a puakenikeni flower and a smile.
Vickie joined the Hawaii HomeOwnership Center's program 13 years ago as a single mom of two teenagers. While she could have moved forward to buy a home at that time, she had other priorities and decided to put her dream on hold for a while. Over the years she continued to persevere and keep her dream of being a homeowner alive, checking in with her homeownership coach periodically to stay on track with her financial goals and managing her money and credit according to what she learned in the homebuyer education course.
The classes and coaching sessions helped to provide the tools and encouragement she needed to stay focused on her long-term goal and this year Vickie moved into the home that was in her family for generations and says that she feels she has been entrusted with a family legacy and gift. It's no longer grandma and grandpa's home or mom and dad's home – it's her home.
Vickie is the guardian of her 8-year-old grandson, Izayah and described a lot of their life as being in chaos until recently. During the testimony interview, Izayah made his way over to us and I asked him what he liked best about living in their new home and he replied,"I can live here forever with grandma!" The significant takeaway from that comment will stay with me forever - even an 8-year-old understands the value of a safe and stable home.
The special loft bed with a slide and an area he has set up like a fort below is one of many memories and opportunities for growth that will happen in this home.
Whether it's staying in the same school, not having to move, or having a home-base to call their own, all of these things contribute to thriving families. Parents can focus and be productive at work, children can develop skills with teachers that understand them and be surrounded with friends they have made over the years, and families can truly become part of a community. I know Vickie and Izayah will be a living testament to these statements and look forward to the positive growth that will happen in their future.
Reina at HHOC: We deeply appreciate your partnership to make the difference in the lives of Hawaii families. A safe and stable home transforms lives. While most funders often equate statistics to the success of a program, we would like you to know that every individual and family your gift supported can envision a better future thanks to you. The impact on the individual does have a ripple effect on the larger community – not only are healthy habits, individual success and school achievement seen in the families with stable home situations, communities are safer through committed and involved residents and the economy is positively affected through homeownership too. Thank you for your trust and investment in the Hawaii HomeOwnership Center.
(HCLF) at the Hawai'i Community Foundation supports local charities that are aligned with our mission of working to preserve Hawai'i's beauty and culture by supporting its people. All Hawai'i Life agent, client and public donations to HCLF are directed with care to make the greatest possible impact in the community.
Each year, Hawaii Life agents and brokers determine an annual giving focus for the HLCF, and grants are awarded to Hawaii non-profits whose charitable purposes fall within this focus, and whose mission is aligned with our own. In 2018, Hawaii Life agents chose Caring For Our Keiki as a focus for the fund, and awarded grants in June to local charities that serve Hawaii's children. Our giving focus in 2017 was to create and provide affordable housing for all Hawai'i residents.

Clare's Law: New legislation will give you the legal right to know if your partner has a criminal past
Police will have a duty to provide information when it is requested

Under proposed legislation, people will have a legal right to check if their partner has a criminal or dangerous past.
Men and women have been able to check this information since 2014, but only at the discretion of police.
But the government plans to compel police to provide information about partners, relatives and close friends.
The plan is set to be announced on Monday in a new Domestic Abuse Bill, the Mirror reports.
PM Theresa May said: "We know from the harrowing experiences of victims and their families there is more to do to stamp out this life-shattering crime.
"This Bill will bring about the changes we need to achieve this. It represents a step-change."
Eight men committed suicide after being 'exposed' by online paedophile hunters, new research reveals
Known formally as the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme, Clare's Law came into being after the horrific killing of mum Clare Wood in 2009.
The 36-year-old met George Appleton through Facebook, before he went on to strangle her and set her body on fire in Salford.
He then hung himself.
The law is known formally as the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme.
Friends and family were shocked to discover that the killer had a history of violence against women.
New government research shows the cost of the two million victims of domestic abuse to the British economy was £66 billion last year.
The legislation will define what constitutes abuse and for the first time controlling and manipulative behaviour will be included.
Police will now have a duty to provide information when it is requested.
Woman threatened to kill victim's children as she confronted him with claw hammer
Partners who block access to money as a form of abuse will also fall foul of the new laws.
Victims will no longer be cross-examined by abusers in court and offenders who are reliant on drink or drugs will go into rehab.
The system will be overseen by the new role of Domestic Abuse Commissioner.

Home Secretary Sajid Javid said: "We will give victims the full support they need and bring to justice to those who are causing misery."
Justice Secretary David Gauke added: "Too many families have to endure the tragic effects of domestic abuse, often in silence. We will bring offenders to justice and ensure victims are not left to suffer alone."
There will also be more support for children affected by domestic abuse and extra funding for disabled, elderly, male and LGBT victims.
Suzanne Jacob, of the charity SafeLives, said: "For too long, we've expected victims and children to uproot their lives while the perpetrators remain invisible."

About 210,000 children who would not have qualified for FSMs under the legacy system will gain entitlement under UC.
About 160,000 (13%, or 1 in 8) of the 1.3 million children who would have qualified under the legacy system will find themselves ineligible under UC.
The number of children with at least one parent in paid work who will be eligible for FSMs will increase by around 140,000 (though again with winners and losers). 90,000 children in workless families will lose eligibility for FSMs, largely because their parents have unearned income or assets that disqualify them from UC.
The net increase in eligibility under UC is entirely accounted for by the children of lone parents: among the children of couples, there will be as many losers as winners. But there are winners and losers within both groups.
About two-thirds of the children entitled to FSMs are in the lowest-income fifth of households with children. This will remain essentially unchanged after the switch to UC. However, under the UC system – as is the case under the legacy system it replaces – only about half of children in the poorest fifth will be entitled to FSMs.
The government is planning to freeze the £7,400 net earnings threshold in cash terms until 2021–22. If it instead increased this threshold with CPI or earnings, approximately 80,000 or 100,000 more children respectively would be entitled to FSMs in 2021–22 than under the current plan. This highlights the significance of the decision about how to uprate (or not uprate) this threshold beyond 2021–22: a decision yet to be made.

Physicians or doctors have always been a very respected and revered group of people. The reasons for this are quite obvious; they have always been the healers and the voice of the necessity for good health. Due to the advancements in the understanding of medicine, physicians are generally categorized under various specialties like cardiologists, radiologists, internal medicine, surgeons and many more. These, however, are not the only classification of doctors. There are medical practitioners who practice traditional methods of healing; methods like Ayurveda and Chinese traditional medicine. The science of medicine has seen great advancements in the past and even more so in recent times; all of which have been the result of the work of some dedicated people. A list of such people would include names like Frederick Banting, who was famous for his work with insulin, Elizabeth Blackwell, she was the first woman in the US to get a medical degree and laid the foundation for the entry of women into medicine and Harvey Cushing, a neurosurgeon who is widely accepted as the father of brain surgery in its current form.

Toronto celebrates Pride Month with George Takei, Margaret Atwood, and Black Lives Matter
Posted May 3, 2016 12:21 pm EDT
Last Updated May 3, 2016 at 12:48 pm EDT
For the first time ever, Toronto's Pride celebrations will run for an entire month, kicking off June 1 and ending on July 3 with the legendary Pride Parade.
(Yes, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be there – the first sitting PM to attend.)
The event has always been political and this year, Pride Toronto is explicitly expanding their scope. From members of Black Lives Matter leading the parade, to a focus on trans rights and Egypt's Arab Winter, Pride is focusing on groups beyond their core.
"Building on the legacy of Pride Toronto's first human rights conference during WorldPride 2014, we continue to put human rights at the heart of our celebration," Pride Toronto executive director Mathieu Chantelois said in a statement.
"This is essential to combating discrimination and protecting the rights of our communities."

Trudeau to march in Toronto's Pride parade this summer, organizers say
Actor George Takei, who has continued his social activism on social media, and Margaret Atwood, who is being honoured for her work during the 1981 bathhouse raids, will speak on separate panels. Young trans activists will speak about their experiences, given the spotlight on transgender children, and there will also be discussions about women's activism as well as blackness and queer politics.
"The largest Pride celebration in North America truly has something for everyone this year," Chantelois said.
"With the talent and creativity of our partners, volunteers and artists of our community, we're inspiring the city and the world to embrace the power and beauty of diversity through inclusion and belonging."
