Winona Ryder has been chosen as the new face for Marc Jacobs' spring 2016 Beauty ads. Booking this timeless beauty was likely a no-brainer for Jacobs, as he has been personal friends with the actress for more than 25 years. We are thrilled to see the direction this duo will go with this collaboration.
Between Jacobs' modern yet progressive styling and Ryder's versatile beauty, we are left wondering what exactly we'll be in for with the campaign. Some models have features that make it easier to predict the direction a designer will choose to go, but in this case, all we can know is based on what Jacobs chooses to release himself. And as always, Jacobs disclosed some information and photography as a precedent for what is to come with the complete 2016 campaign.
"It is with great pride (and pleasure) that I 'leak' this image from our upcoming 2016 MARC JACOBS BEAUTY campaign,' Jacobs began in a characteristically lengthy caption on Instagram, referring to a stunning photo of Ryder's mirrored reflection. He gave credit where credit was due, to photographer David Sims and stylist Katie Grand, before moving in to discuss Ryder's styling in more detail.
It is here where Jacobs seems to express the decision to work with Ryder in this campaign, as her timeless beauty perfectly coincides with a long-time inspiration and point of reference was for him " and of course, being friends with Ryder is a happy coincidence. It's also great to see the information on the products used to create this chic, stunning look. We love seeing the '60s retro vibe making a comeback in the makeup world, and here it is looking absolutely flawless. Of course, everything is easier said than done, but seeing it written out gives a whole new level of personalization, in that this is a possible outcome to using the products in this beauty line.
But of course Jacobs had more to say. To finish off the extensive caption, he turned to give credit to the gorgeous Ryder, because how far could flawless styling go without the perfect muse to model it on?
Jacobs also promised to share more images from the past, of his work with Ryder (where he uses the acronym "MJ/WR). And finally, flourishing his caption off with "#4everwinona #marcbeauty'. Hashtags don't generally have their place outside of social media, but #4everwinona is a trend I could sink into any day. The designer's clear adoration to the beautiful actress and model is truly endearing, and his compliments of her beauty are well-placed.
We just can't wait to see the rest of the Marc Jacobs Beauty campaign featuring Winona Ryder.


The chances of getting a Black Bear over a 5 day hunt are excellent due to our remote territory, the minimal human presence, and the absence of hunting pressure.
The Black Bear population is healthier than many other places (25 tags per year over 240,000 acres with max 15-18 clients per year). It is very likely to get a color phase bear (black, blond, chocolate and cinnamon with white blaze spots on their chests). During the bear season, each hunter will have the opportunity to do some fishing after he harvests his trophy. The lodge is on the lake front; providing great spring fishing (mainly northern pike and walleye) even from the docks.

Критика
Театральный критик Г. Я. Островская вспоминает А. Бажина как «актёра вне амплуа»:

…юный Гамлет, скорее похожий на Ромео, суетливый человечек Боярский из «Биндюжника», почти мальчик Оливер (Диккенс) и старик, которого он играл без грима и без актерских «штучек» в «Возвращении» Шукшина, порхающий по жизни Дульчин в «Последней жертве» и мудрый Юродивый в «Годунове»… Каков диапазон! И во всех ролях он доискивался до самой сути, для него всегда важнее не форма роли, а содержание, не «как», а «что» сказать. У него удивительное лицо, его не назовёшь классическим красавцем, оно легко поддается гриму. Он подвижен и внутренне пластичен, хороший режиссёр из него может лепить, как из высококачественной глины, любой образ.

The Gods Must Be Crazy II (1989) →
Dreamer (1979)
4-Word Review: Bowling for a living.
Harold Nuttingham (Tim Matheson) who is nicknamed 'Dreamer' because of his lofty ambitions of becoming a big league bowler struggles with the demands of the sport and the amount of sacrifice and practice that it takes to be good along with the balancing act of having a relationship with Karen (Susan Blakely) and holding down a job. Eventually with the help of Harry (Jack Warden), who acts as his coach, he's able to get accepted into a major tournament where he'll take on the veteran champion Johnny Watkin (played by real-life champion bowler Dick Weber) and prove to a national audience that he truly deserves to be considered one of the best.
It's truly hard-to-believe how a film like this could've been funded by a major studio, or how anyone would think a movie about bowling, a sport with no real cinematic quality to it at all, would be something that people would want to watch, or even take seriously. Sure, it replicates the same Rocky formula, which at the time was quite popular, but what's next? A small town kid desiring to be the next great badminton champ? Ping Pong? Tiddlywinks?
There's been other films made about bowling like Kingpin and The Big Lebowski, but those all had a sense of humor to it and some interesting camera shots, but this thing takes it all too seriously and is flatly photographed. Part of the charm of Rocky was seeing him train to become a good boxer, but this film glosses over the training/technique aspect and starts out right away with him already winning a bowling contest and receiving a big trophy, so what's the point of seeing him receive one trophy after another? Besides the bowling alleys that he plays in all look blah and filled with the same unexciting people making it look like Dreamer really isn't moving up, but instead perpetually stuck in the same drab small Midwestern town, or one's just like it, that he came from.
The story needed of some sort of side-plot that could've created actual tension that is otherwise completely lacking. It may sound like a sport's movie cliche, but Dreamer needed a psychological hurdle to overcome, like maybe he had a history of choking under pressure in big games, or possibly injuring his hand right before the contest, or maybe even losing his trusted bowling ball (or having it stolen) that would cast some doubt, and elicit some genuine intrigue from the viewer about whether Dreamer could pull through, but nothing like this ever gets presented.
Instead the majority of the drama centers around Dreamer's on-again/off-again relationship with his girlfriend over benign issues that aren't interesting and with a woman that looks way too beautiful to be wasting her life away working in some dumpy bowling alley, or going out with a bland stiff that doesn't treat her right. There's also a thread dealing with Harry and his inability to come to terms with not achieving as much as he could've during his younger years when he was a bowler on the circuit, but Harry is just a minor character, so his character history/arch isn't compelling. It's Dreamer's that's important, but his arch isn't even apparent.
The film also has a cheesy scene featuring Harry bowling intensely all by himself in the dark after the place has already closed, which begs a really important question: If he's bowling after everything's been shut down, then who, or what is resetting the pins while he proceeds to continuously knock them down?
A bad guy, or jerk with the potential of throwing a monkey wrench into the proceedings needed introducing, but nothing materializes and everybody is too chummy with no tantalizing element simmering beneath the surface. To some degree this is the film's one successful quality as it accurately recreates just how slow, dull, and uneventful small town living can be while putting the poor viewer to sleep in the process.

Abreaction Part 2: Abreaction vs Connected Feeling – What's the Difference?
In my last post, I described the history of abreaction and why it was abandoned in mainstream psychotherapy. But modern therapists who model their treatment on primal therapy often facilitate abreaction without even knowing it. They may encourage an anything-goes approach to feeling, allowing the client to go wherever they will without intervention.
Abreaction is an emotional release that looks like a feeling, sometime sounds like a feeling, but isn't a feeling. It is the discharge of a feeling, disconnected from its source, making it in fact a defense or reinforcing a defense. It can be the release of a feeling from one level of consciousness into another level of consciousness – for example, first line into third line, or first line disconnected from any other level, taking on a life of its own to the exclusion of any other levels.
The Dalai Lama is often held up as an example of what human beings can be: kind, loving, compassionate, even in the face of adversity. One of the reasons he is so healthy is because he had a loving mother.

Bodø Airport (; ) is a civil airport in the town of Bodø in Bodø Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. Located just south of the city centre, on the westernmost tip of the Bodø peninsula, it shares facilities with the military air force base Bodø Main Air Station. The airport has a single concrete,  runway which runs in a roughly east–west direction. In addition to jet operations to major domestic destinations, the airport serves as a hub for regional airline flights to Helgeland, Lofoten and Vesterålen.

A new airport could be ready in the last half of 2029, according to media's paraphrasing (in January 2022) of Avinor. Planning is in progress to build a new airport about one kilometer (0.6 miles) south and build a new smart city district on the site of the current airport. The smart city will be largely focused on transportation and sustainability.

History

Postal flights to Bodø started in 1921, and before 1940 Bodø was served with sea planes from Widerøe.

The first runway at Bodø Airport was built during World War II by British troops, after Germany had invaded Norway. On 26 May 1940, three Royal Air Force Gloster Gladiators, led by Flight Lieutenant Caesar Hull, landed and made the first airborne defence for the city. The area was swampland, and the first makeshift runway consisted of wooden planks floating on the water. Soon the German Luftwaffe seized control over the airport and held it for the duration of the war, among other things upgrading the runway to concrete.

Not much was done with the airport until after the Korean War started in 1950. The West were afraid of a Soviet attack on Western Europe, so a new military base was constructed at a new location south-west of the old one. Originally planned to be finished in 1951, the new airport did not become fully operational until 1956, though the civilian terminal opened in 1952. From then on, fighter jets have been stationed at Bodø. In 1988, NATO injected vast amounts of money to enable the airfield to handle large air forces in the event of an emergency.

The airport was used during the testing of Concorde in June 1975.

In the early 1980s, the current civilian terminal was discussed and planned. The Norwegian Ministry of Finance approved the project early in 1988. The construction started a few weeks after its approval and was completed in spring 1990. The terminal has 11 gates, three with jetways. Since its opening in 1990, the number of passengers increased from 820,000 to 1,700,000 in 2013.

Air force base

The Bodø Main Air Station, situated adjacent to the airport, is the largest air station in Norway operated by the Royal Norwegian Air Force. This air station is the home of the 331st and the 332nd Squadrons equipped with General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcons in addition to a detachment from the 330th Squadron of Westland Sea King helicopters.

Airlines and destinations

The airport is a hub for regional flights between Trondheim and Tromsø, in addition to being served by more than ten daily return flights to Oslo. Several international seasonal routes are also served.

Statistics

Ground transport
The airport is very near the city centre, about 1.5 km distance, and from the railway station 2.0 km.
Travel to the airport can be done by local bus, by taxi, or by foot. There are also regional buses from the airport.

Norwegian Aviation Museum

The Norwegian Aviation Museum is located next to the airport in a propeller-shaped building. An aviation centre at the airport was approved by parliament on 31 March 1992, and opened on 15 May 1994. The military part – Luftfartsmuseet (the Aviation Museum) was opened in May 1995. The Norwegian Aviation Museum was formed on 1 January 1998, founded by the government, the local city council of Bodø and the county council of Nordland. The museum is a "national museum" and funded through the national budget.

The museum exhibits several military aircraft including a Lockheed U-2, a Gloster Gladiator and a Supermarine Spitfire. There are also some civilian aircraft on display such as the de Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter, a Junkers Ju 52/3m on floats, and a Fokker F.28-1000 Fellowship.

Accidents and incidents
 Lockheed U-2 spy aircraft were stationed at Bodø in 1958. On 1 May 1960, a U-2 piloted by Gary Powers was headed for Bodø from Pakistan but was shot down, causing the U-2 Crisis of 1960.
 Finnish Beechcraft V35B Bonanza, OH-BBD, disappeared 24 June 1974 in foul weather on its approach to Bodø ENBO. It carried a five member Saami council and the pilot.
 On 4 December 2003, a Dornier 228 of Kato Airline operating as Flight 603 was struck by lightning, causing a fracture to the control rod that operated the elevator. The aircraft subsequently landed heavily just short of the runway at Bodø and was written off. Both crew members sustained serious injuries while both passengers sustained slight injuries.
 On 29 September 2004, an asylum-seeker armed with an axe attacked the pilot of Kato Airline flight 605 from Narvik-Framnes, causing the aircraft, a Dornier 228, to go into a dive. The assailant was overpowered by passengers, including Odd Eriksen, later a member of the government (Minister of Commerce), and the aircraft made a safe landing at Bodø.

Is the Disney App is telling you that your favorite Disney Springs restaurant is booked? This won't be a problem when you use this particular Disney Springs Dining Reservation Hack.
You see, Disney Springs dining reservations can also be booked on the OpenTable reservation application. OpenTable is a smart phone App that you can use to make your dining reservations all over the world, but also there are some restaurants in Disney Springs that offer this option.
Disney Springs draws in local folks and visitors without theme park passes to eat and shop there, therefore Disney sets aside reservations for the locals, as well as others, through the OpenTable App. If you use this particular Disney Springs Dining Reservation Hack, it will open those tables for you. So, when Disney shows that no tables are available at your favorite Disney Springs restaurant try using OpenTable to make a reservation.
The Disney World dining reservation system are the most popular tools to get a reservation but they often run out of tables.
No option is close to my requested 7:30 p.m. time. Eating at 8:30 p.m. is way too late for me. And even though I'm sixty, I'm still not ready for the early bird special.
OpenTable has more times can be open.
The Disney Springs Dining Reservation Hack produced multiple, additional options.
Unfortunately, the Disney resorts and and theme parks restaurants do not accept OpenTable reservations, however, OpenTable does work at The Swan and Dolphin restaurants as well.
OpenTable is free to use and provides rewards. Twenty reservations earns a $20 gift certificate. However, some reservations are worth five or ten times the normal amount. Just two of the 10X reservations gets you $20 right away. We use OpenTable at home and on vacation. Pat and I recently received our first $100 certificate.
Before your next vacation to Disney World download the OpenTable app. I would also suggest that you can test it locally to familiarize yourself with how it works. That way, when you get to Orlando you will be ready use it and enjoy the Disney Springs Dining Reservation Hack.
Have you tried this option before? Did you have success? Share any other dining hacks with us by letting us know in the comments below or on Facebook or Twitter!
We have experienced Disney World and Universal Studios in all three phases of life; before kids, with kids and as empty nesters. We look forward to continue to vacation in Disney as we get older with friends and family.

Klima macht Geschichte: a turning point in German climate hysteria?
The German national television ZDF broadcasted a (mostly!) remarkable two part series (Part 1, Part II) on the impact of climate change on human history and development. Part I starts with the Neanderthals and ends with the beginning of the Roman Empire. Part II (which I prefer) starts with the warm Roman period and ends with the modern warm period. What is remarkable is that over the whole series, the authors insist that the recurring great climate changes are due to natural phenomena, mostly Milankovitch cycles with their changing solar irradiance and volcanic activity. For instance it is said that "die Sonne ist der Hauptakteur", or "jede Klimaveränderung wird vom Weltall aus gesteuert". A recurrent leitmotiv is that warmer (and more humid) periods are good for development, colder are bad.
The most interesting second part tells the stories of the last 3 warm periods (Roman, Medieval and today) and shows how a warmer climate fostered cultural, scientific and political development. And vastly increasing populations are not described as a parasitic illness destroying the planet, but as a welcome and "natural" development thriving in good climatic conditions.
Why did I start with the quantifier "mostly" ? Because the excellence of the 2 times 43 minutes is spoiled by the last 60 seconds, where Mark Maslin (University College London) closes with this sentence: "We are at a point where we can decide how the future climate will be." This is blatant silliness, probably forced upon the professor to include at least a sentence seen to be politically correct and Zeitgeist aware. This last conclusion is the more silly, as all previous examples clearly have shown that the changes of the climate were not caused by human activity. And today, never mind our technological achievements, we are still unable to change the tilt of the axis of the globe, modify solar activity or put a lid on volcanoes to avoid their eruptions.
Nevertheless, this broadcast makes me more optimistic: could it be that the fashionable hysteria regarding an anthropogenic climate change is loosing steam, and starting to go the way typical for all fads and Zeitgeist exaggerations, i.e. dissolving into oblivion?
Read also the excellent comments of Pierre Gosselin in his blog.
CO2 and temperature : "Da stelle mer uns janz dumm"
One of my favorite sentences from the great author Heinrich Spoerl's book "Die Feuerzangenbowle" (1933) is the physics professor Bömmel. Explaining the working of the steam engine he begins with "Da stelle mer uns janz dumm" (approximate translation "Let's start by assuming we are completely stupid").
The primordial question about an eventual anthropogenic caused global warming is the temperature increase following rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations (or more correctly "mixing ratios"). The IPCC assumes that AGH (anthropogenic greenhouse gases) and predominantly CO2 are the principal driver of the last 150 years warming of about 0.7°C. We know from laboratory experiments that the radiative forcing F (in W/m-2) produced by CO2 is proportional to the (natural) logarithm of its concentration. Generally it is assumed that dF = 5.35*ln(CO2new/CO2old), and that global temperature increase dT is proportional to dF: dT = lambda* dF, where lambda is the much debated (equilibrium) climate sensitivity. Lambda is not only much debated, but the last 30 years of multi-billion officially fostered climate research has not lowered the "consensus" estimate range (about 1.5 to 4.5 °C). Now politicians eager to avoid planetary Armageddon and to show their environmental care have only one simple question: "by how much will the globe warm when our emissions increase atmospheric CO2 by so and so much?". Alas, their only acceptable counselor (the IPCC) can only give an answer based on models (an answer the IPCC calls a scenario to avoid that satanic word "prediction").
So we will follow professor Böhmer's dictum and "da stelle mer uns janz dumm". Let us look at the past data since 1850, and use the Hadcrut4 data set for global temperatures (this dataset is used by the IPCC) and also an officially accepted CO2 variation data set (the Mauna Loa series extended backwards to 1850). I will use Prof. Humlum's excellent website www.climate4you.com (a website that shines like a rare true scientific beacon in midst global activism and hysterical enviro-angst). We will use two periods with much different CO2 increases: 1850 to 1945 where CO2 increases from 290 to 310 ppmV (let's not object to these numbers, even if they are still open to debate), and 1945 to 2013, where the CO2 concentrations go from 310 to 397 ppmV. The global temperature increases by 0.3 K (or °C) during the first period, and by +0.4 K during the second.
Now let us take the simplistic model: dT = k* ln(dCO2) where the d means a delta: dT = temperature difference, same for dCO2. I know, this model differs from the expression given above; it is an "janz dumme" hypothesis which will be subjected to observational verification.
The first period allows to calculate the factor k which is equal to k = dT/ln(dCO2) = 0.3/ln(20) = 0.1.
Let us take this result to calculate the temperature increase that a CO2 swing from 310 to 397 ppm would yield: dTcalc = 0.1*ln(87) = 0.45 K. The observational data give dT = 0.40 K, very, very close to the simplistic calculation. Our zero-dollar model is more or less verified by the second period of nearly 70 years.
fig. Global temperature anomalies (Hadcrut4 series) for 1850 to present with CO2 increase.
Now we will look into the crystal ball and predict how much warming a CO2 doubling from the pre-industrial (1850) baseline will cause (if everything continues as it has during the last 163 years):
dT = 0.1*ln(580-397) = 0.52 K. This will be the warming from today on if CO2 levels rise to 580 ppmV. IPCC's "business as usual" scenario A1TI predicts this mixing ratio for 2050, and about 1000 ppmV for 2100. Now 1000 ppmV seems ***BIG***, but our model shows that it will correspond to a warming of only dT = 0.1*ln(1000-397) = 0.64 K from today's situation. This means a total warming of 0.7 + 0.64 = 1.34 °C in respect to the cold, end of little ice age pre-industrial times if we do nothing. Hardly anything to shudder and scream about!


If you're thinking about buying a retail business, there is a lot that you must consider outside of the basic nuts and bolts of the business. There's an old saying that retail success hinges on three factors: "location, location, location". While this is true to a large extent, it's not always the case. When looking at retail businesses, you're number one goal must be to determine what "drives" the customers to the store.
What Brings In The Customers?
The lease in place is transferable/assignable and is long-term. You must negotiate additional options to give yourself at least ten years of contract length. Is there an anchor tenant that brings customers to the locale? If so, then you'll want to know how long their lease is, and if they have any plans to relocate in the near-term. Also, be certain that this anchor tenant is solid financially- think about all the poor merchants who relied on K-Mart and General Cinema traffic. The stores surrounding these faced disastrous situations when they closed numerous locations. Is there any planned road construction that can impact the business? Typically, major roads undergo some form of construction every ten years or so. Visit the city hall/planning office to see when the last work was done and what plans if any may be in place. Above all, think about every possible situation that can impact the location and investigate it thoroughly.
If the operation is driven by its product offering you'll want to be certain that you're capable of continuing to identify the types of products that customers want. If this function is performed by an employee/buyer, you may want to have them own a stake in the business as well. However, if you're not 100% comfortable with performing this function yourself, or are not the type that has an "eye" for product, you may not want to go down this road.
For some retail businesses, it's the marketing that brings in the customers, and location takes a back seat. These are destination locations. Furniture and specialty retailers are typical examples. They spend a fortune on advertising and promotion, and they get the people to the stores. Here again, if this is what drives the business then you'll want to be certain that your greatest skill lies in this area.
The biggest issue that I discuss with clients who want to become retail merchants is for them to get a true grasp upon the actual workload that's required in this environment. Retail hours can be hell, especially if you're in a mall where you're required to maintain certain hours. I meet far too many retailers who seem to work seven days a week It does not have to be this way, as long as you set up the business to run properly without you having to be there every minute.
Hire great people! Getting good employees is an ongoing challenge. You shouldn't be afraid to churn through employees until you get the right ones. Pay them well. Train them effectively. Put policies and procedures in place that allows them to get up to speed quickly. Work towards having a key manager in place that can relieve you of some of the daily burdens. Never, ever tolerate stealing. Hire a mystery shopping company to do an assessment at least once a year. It's a great way to learn what the customers are experiencing.
Implement the most effective technology you can afford. There are tremendous systems available today for point of sale tracking, inventory management, accounting modules, etc. Systematize everything so that you're not beholden to being there every minute. One program that I've seen quite a bit of is RetailPro. It appears to be very robust and cost effective. It's well worth checking out. There are many others available as well.
If you're agenda is to make a lot of money, then it's hard to do so with one location. Growth usually requires expansion. Many times however, one successful location does not translate well into a second successful one. This usually happens because the owners cannot duplicate the business effectively. That's why systems are crucial. It's also why you need to have a crystal clear view of what brings in the customers and then be able to duplicate it effectively.
The other reason why this happens is that the owner is the business and then ends up trying to be effective in two location. Guess what? It doesn't work! Build the first one. Get the recipe in place that includes a top notch manager. Then, you can decide to either run the second one yourself or put in the manager from the existing location.
If you're running a large sized operation, you may want to consider opening a second one that may be a bit smaller, with an option to expand. This doesn't always work, but should be considered.
Certainly when thinking about buying a retail operation, and growth is your objective, you have to decide if it's even a possibility, or is it too specialized? If you buy a scuba diving store that's on the ocean, well you cannot open up a second location in a rural area and expect similar results. The business itself may be restrictive from a growth perspective.
What's A Retail Business Worth?
Just like any other business resale, there are no "golden rules" to establish the value of a retail business. The main issue must always be how much the business is making. This is the key component that must dictate the purchase price. Inventory is one element that clouds many retail business purchases. You need the inventory to drive revenue. It may or may not be treated separately in the price. Notwithstanding this, the combination of the profit and inventory acquisition cannot over inflate the price to the point where it's not a feasible investment. Liquor stores for example may sell at a reduced multiple of earnings, but inventory is priced and purchased separately. Conversely, a clothing retailer may be sold at one fixed amount and includes all of the assets.
When it comes to inventory, your investigation must conclude if the product is saleable, and in what time frame. Specialty retailers usually have a ton of obsolete or slower selling product. If there's old inventory it must be discounted heavily in the valuation.
Lots of people have made lots of money operating retail businesses. If you're cut out for it, you can also be successful. But, you'll want to weigh all of the factors to be certain that this type of business fits both your strengths and the lifestyle you want.
In most regions, there are always an abundance of retail businesses listed for sale and some excellent local websites available to find them. You should check out the major business for sale websites, the local business broker sites, keep an eye on the classifieds as many retailers attempt to sell their businesses privately. Often times, a local merchant will foolishly hire a commercial real estate agent to sell their business and so you should review the multiple listing sites as well. Lastly, you may want to think about businesses that you patronize that you feel have growth potential. Then, simply approach the owner to discuss it.
While many people think that it all comes down to location, the savvy retail business buyer knows there's far more to consider in the equation.

Sneak peek inside new JLL offices at The Grove
The Phoenix office of JLL has completed build-out and moved into its new Arizona offices, located on the first floor of the highly anticipated mixed-use destination, The Grove, at the northwest corner of 44th Street and Camelback Road in Phoenix's sought-after Camelback Corridor.
The new space expands JLL's local footprint to 31,000 square feet, serving more than 120 JLL professionals with office, industrial, retail, multifamily, healthcare, data center, capital markets, property management and project development services (PDS) expertise.

JLL Senior Vice President of Project and Development Services David Rosato directed the build-out of the new space.
"JLL prides itself on helping clients align with the future of the workplace. It is a career highlight to be able to deliver that same level of quality and vision for our JLL team and clients that we work with day-in and day-out," said Rosato. "It also adds tremendous new resources – triple the conference space, the latest technology and an exceedingly cool variety of places to work and collaborate throughout the day. I'm grateful for our PDS team and the many local experts who executed on our concept."
"Thanks to Dave and the entire PDS team, we have a beautiful new space that applies everything we know about how today's employees want to work," said JLL Managing Director Pat Williams. "That final product is a great representation of our local culture and productivity. Our new JLL Arizona office will serve our team well as we continue to grow and serve our clients."
The design for the Class AA space was inspired by JLL's innovative culture, emphasizing the human experience of employees and clients, and JLL's mission to shape the future of commercial real estate.
Highlights of the new office include:
• A fully furnished lobby with an operable partition that essentially eliminates the "front door," linking the JLL lobby to the main lobby at The Grove and an extension of the JLL workplace.
• Tech-enabled workstations and meeting rooms that vary in size to support the latest presentation and plug-in-ready needs of individuals and small and large groups.
• A custom room for JLL's proprietary visualization platform, Blackbird, with large screens and comfortable seating that allow brokers to explore property options with clients in an immersive lounge environment.
• Highly flexible shared spaces that provide choices for where and how people work. One of these – the work café – is a dynamic multi-purpose space with seating and gathering areas, and an expansive kitchen with complimentary snacks and beverages, all designed for use throughout the day and into the evening, with the scalability to accommodate large team celebrations and client events.
• Direct indoor/outdoor connection to a generous patio featuring eating and dining areas, collaborative seating and games.
• Design elements that reflect JLL's brand values and the office's commitment to Arizona. This includes a wood trellis (reflecting a tree canopy) with glass pendant lights representing the area's history of citrus production. Local art is also featured throughout, including historic photographs of the site over the years.
The JLL Arizona office expansion is the latest stage of the company's more than 22 years in the Valley, founded locally in 2000 as The Staubach Company and purchased by JLL in 2008.
RSP Architecture served as the architect for the new space and Okland Construction was the general contractor. Other contributors included Forward Tilt, Goodmans Interior Structures and Transact Commercial.
Located at 4300 E. Camelback Road, The Grove is a $400 million mixed-use destination being developed by RED Development. JLL is located within the project's 180,000-square-foot, four-story Class AA office building, featuring its own rooftop deck with a pickleball court, outdoor garden and pavilion, full kitchen and direct views of Camelback Mountain. JLL Managing Director Ryan Timpani is the building's exclusive leasing broker.
At completion, The Grove will total more than 15 acres and 750,000 square feet featuring three Class AA office buildings, an internationally inspired boutique hotel – The Global Ambassador – by restaurateur Sam Fox, upscale dining and retail, and 58 luxury residences by StreetLights Residential.

Abandoned properties a 'common' problem for landlords
Have you ever had a tenant move out of a property that you own before the tenancy has ended, without informing you? If you answer no to that question, than consider yourself fortunate, because new data from the National Landlords Association (NLA) shows that over a third (36%) of landlords in the UK have had property abandoned by tenants before.
The issue can be costly as it often occurs when outstanding rent is owed, and yet the tenant still has a legal right to return and take up residence at any time and it is a criminal offence for landlords to do anything to prevent the continuation of the tenancy.
Landlords generally have to go through the legal process for regaining possession of an abandoned property which can often take months.
The problem in the UK is most acute in the North East of England where 58% of buy-to-let investors have had a property abandoned. Some 51% of landlords in the North have also experienced the issue.
Landlords seeking to avoid having a property abandoned, may wish to consider investing in the South West of England, which has the lowest proportion of abandonments, at 31%.
"The process of recovering an abandoned property is too long, frustrating, and costly for landlords at the moment," said Richard Lambert, CEO of the NLA.
Thankfully, landlords will be relieved to know that the Housing and Planning Act, which recently received Royal Ascent, will create a new process to deal with the issue, which Lambert says will offer them "far greater security and peace of mind when recovering properties they believe to have been abandoned".

Duties: Nile Union Academy operates with a work program that requires all students to be engaged in working in order to keep the costs of tuition lowered. Since Nile Union Academy is located on a 35-acre farm there are many agricultural jobs in addition to other maintenance and janitorial work. Students also work in the cafeteria, bake fresh bread daily, and care for the garbage and recycling of the campus.
Nile Union Academy is in need of a responsible and organized person to oversee the work of the 135+ students on a daily basis. While each student will report to a supervisor (i.e., the cafeteria manager), the work program supervisor would oversee the overall program, grade students' performance in their work, and ensure that all students are working their required hours. The individual supervisors and managers of students will turn in work hours each week, but the work program supervisor is responsible for keeping track of the hours worked for the entire school year.
Other duties may be assigned at the discretion of the administration.
Acceptable Dress: Men are expected to dress professionally with pants and a collared shirt each day during school hours. Shorts are acceptable only during recreation or work duties. Women are expected to dress conservatively and professionally, covering legs and arms at all times. Ankle length skirts or pants are appropriate.
Unacceptable Dress: Men - shirts with controversial writing or pictures. Women - revealing or tight clothing is not allowed.
Lodging: Volunteers, if single, will share an apartment with another volunteer(s). Basic furniture such as a bed and dresser or closet, kitchenette, washing machine, and other necessities are provided by the school. Towels, sheets, and toiletries are the responsibility of the volunteer.
Local Travel Calling Organization NUA will pay for any work related travel.
Additional terms/benefits or comments: Egypt has some amazing places to visit and experience. Cairo is an international hub and the school calendar allows for breaks to explore and travel to other locations. All travel during breaks are at the expense of the volunteer including fees to leave and return.
Visa Required? No Visa Type: TOURIST visa which can be obtained at the Cairo Airport for $25.00 USD.


Set in the 19th century, the action-thriller Mohawk stars Kaniehtiio Horn (Hemlock Grove) and Justin Rain (Fear the Walking Dead) as young Native American warriors who, together with their British companion Joshua (Eamon Farren from Twin Peaks: The Return), are pursued by a group of soldiers after an American camp is set on fire.
Mohawk is the second film directed by Ted Geoghegan, following his acclaimed, Barbara Crampton-starring horror movie We Are Still Here, and is co-written by Geoghegan and novelist Grady Hendrix (Horrorstör). The film costars Ezra Buzzington (Justified, The Middle), Ian Colletti (Preacher), Noah Segan (Looper), Jonathan Huber (AKA WWE Superstar Luke Harper), Robert Longstreet (I Don't Feel at Home in this World Anymore), and Sheri Foster (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt).
Watch the (somewhat disturbing) trailer for Mohawk below and an exclusive clip from the film above.
Mohawk is released in select theaters, on VOD, and via digital HD on Friday.

Home Reviews Event Reviews Clairo Returns to Dallas With Confidence
Clairo Returns to Dallas With Confidence
Returning to Dallas to a sold out show at the Cambridge Room in House of Blues, Clairo delivered a lively, intimate show on 8/20/18.
Roman Soriano
The last time Clairo was in Dallas was just a few short months ago towards the beginning of summer. At the time, she was opening for Dua Lipa, but she returned at the end of the summer, headlining her very own tour, with many sold out dates, including the one in Dallas which took place in the Cambridge Room at House of Blues. The crowd was much smaller, but much more invested in her performance, leading to a really good time for everyone there.
Garren Sean was the only opener on the bill, and he took the stage promptly at 8:00 with just his guitar and a drum machine. He was completely comfortable and at home on stage. Sean came across as very confident, sometimes a little too confident, seeming kind of cocky. However, I can't fault him for it too much as he was trying to put on a show, and was clearly getting a good reaction from most of the crowd. Especially when they started chanting "yee-haw" and he finally repeated it back, and was met with a wall of cheers.
Most of his music revolved mostly around his guitar and voice, with fairly simple drums, and the occasional synth and 808s. Sean would frequently beat out the drum pattern on his drum machine and loop it before introducing the rest of the instrumentation to the song, which is something you don't often see.
After about a 40 minute set, he made his way off stage, and Clairo's band started setting up shortly after. She took the stage promptly at 9:00, sporting a cowboy hat, and opened with "B.O.M.D." lit by very dim, red lights. The lighting for most of the show was very dark, but colorful, creating a really moody atmosphere in the Cambridge Room. If the lighting wasn't dim, it was bright and flashing, like during the second track she performed, the lesser known "Girl."
Clairo had gotten much more comfortable on stage since her last performance, possibly due in part to the smaller venue and crowd size, and she was smiling and dancing throughout. Her set consisted of most of her discography, as well as a few covers, and an unreleased track she created with Rostam a few months ago.
Just before playing the Rostam song, she said "someone's smoking" jokingly, and a loud air horn was spammed for a few seconds, inciting laughter from everyone. She then said, "ok this is a serious song so no more laughing…serious mode activated." Of course, everyone made her laugh, prompting a "fuck you guys" from her, whispered through laughter.
For her encore, she played "Pretty Girl," and finally closed out her set with "4EVER." All in all, the environment was really laid back and relaxed, which made it all the more fun. She was able to laugh off any small mistakes she made, indulged the crowds "yee-haw" chants, and talked to the crowd often. We can't wait to see how much she's grown as a performer and musician the next time she is in Dallas.

I remember thinking back in the day how cool and interesting it was that many of the creators who were gaining prominence about the same time kind of knew each other and were friends to varying degrees. Marv Wolfman and Len Wein is a prime example. Kurt Busiek and Scott McCloud is another. These guys who were interested in comics, and grew into the industry roughly in tandem.
It makes a bit of sense if you think about it. Their interest in comics meant that they would travel in similar if not the same circles, and they would be exposed to many of the same experiences around the same time. So, if they were going down a path of a comic book creator, they would run into each other repeatedly and would be able to develop a friendship.
It struck me tonight as I was getting ready to head up to Chicago that I'm aware of that in a more contemporary setting. Several of the people that I hung out with on various message boards and such a decade or so ago are now working in the industry in some capacity. They have different skill levels, of course, and they're at somewhat different stages of their respective careers, but I know guys who've written Marvel and DC comics, penned their own novels and started reasonably successful entrepreneurial style businesses. Some of the folks I'll be seeing this weekend will be on the other side of the table, as it were.
As I said, I thought it was fascinating to see groups of creators "come of age" together in comics when I was growing up. But it's even more fascinating to see different people I know have the same types of experiences. It's even cooler, of course, because I know them, but I also get to see some of the less spotlit careers that I wouldn't have even been aware of when I was a teenager.
So keep an eye on those younger folks you know through your various social networks, not just the ones that are already pros! Pretty soon, you'll have your own "I knew them when..." stories!
"Hey, I know that Sean Kleefeld!"
In Scott's and my case, we met on the first day of seventh grade, and neither of us were into comics at the time. I started reading comics regularly a couple of years later, and badgered him into reading them too.


So many people are afraid to start a business because they're terrified of managing people. I find it hard to relate, because that's one of the things I love most about running a business!
Great and professional video Natalie! That's so important in order to give the right and professional image of your company you want to get across.
Agree with the strategies you outline and am sure they work for you. However, I do believe the main reason companies don't want to hire nowadays is because they are not sure what will happen with the economy.
Thank you Catarina! The video is part of a TV series I've been doing – you can see the other episodes here, if you haven't already.
Yes, many businesses are afraid to hire staff in this economy. However, employees are still needed to keep the show running, and I have been approached by several business owners who are desperate to know how they can hire better people, and retain them. And I've read so many accounts of online solopreneurs who start out doing everything themselves, and as they become successful, they scramble to keep up with the workload because they're afraid to let someone else take over aspects of their business.
I want people to understand that you can–and should–hire amazing people to help you out, as soon as you can afford it. The investment will help your business grow, and allow you to maintain a much more balanced and satisfying life. Not to mention, you can create an opportunity for someone else who needs the work!
I have had a few businesses in my life, but never had to hire or fire employees. As an employee, I often imagine what I would do if I were the boss, but your video shows some of the concerns of people who are in that position. One thing I have noticed is that in the age of the lawsuit, that employers need to be fastidious about documenting lapses on employees' parts. This is to prevent being sued and losing to a disgruntled, dismissed employee.
Excellent point Lou – I make sure my staff all know that it's a simple matter of policy to write up any incidents where they have violated protocol (and three strikes means you're out), so everyone is clear and there's no perception of unfairness about it. But I always investigate to make sure I've done everything I can so the employees know what is expected of them, and if I feel I fell short of that in any way I must take on the responsibility myself. In that case, I sit down with my staff and we brainstorm ways to make sure the incident won't be repeated.
What a fantastic presence you have on video. You're such a natural in front of the camera.
Although my jobs didn't all include hiring and firing, some of them did. Back then, I didn't realize that setting my intention of what type of employee I wanted to hire was important. Although I must admit, I did get some good ones, I'll strike that up to being fortunate in that area. I'm just glad I no longer have to deal with any of that now.
Great post, great video and wonderful presence. Terrific job overall. Love your blog too!
Adrienne recently posted..Interview, Guest Post, Podcast, Oh My!
Great video! Hiring and firing is a difficult process – I'm fortunate to have some background in HR, which has been crucial for when it comes to working with VAs in my internet business.
Personally, I struggle more with the firing aspect. It's tough to have to tell someone that they aren't doing a good job, but it's still something that has to be done. So I appreciate the tips and strategies you shared here – hopefully they'll come in handy the next time I have to make changes to my VA roster.
Hi Natalie, what interesting blog title you have, peace & profit. In business, you must deal with PEOPLE. Though, I don't hire people but I've team members that I work with. Good relationship is the key success in building the business. Love the video too.
Seriously hiring people could be a real nightmare if one is not careful…But if you are blessed enough to make a good catch, it could be real fun. So it really is a two way thing.
Also I must add that anyone can be a good investment given he has the right conditions and the right atmosphere.
P.S: Hiring (and Firing) is a form of investment, so take some time to really decide what you want before taking the plunge.

449 F. 2d 793 - Horton v. Lawrence County Board of Education
449 F2d 793 Horton v. Lawrence County Board of Education
Patricia Ann HORTON, et al., Plaintiffs-Appellants,
The LAWRENCE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION, et al., Defendants-Appellees.
United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
U. W. Clemon, Birmingham, Ala., Norman Chachkin, New York City, Adams, Baker & Clemon, Birmingham, Ala., James Nabrit, III, Jack Greenberg, New York City, for plaintiffs-appellants.
Gene H. Lentz, Decatur, Ala., for defendants-appellees.
Before THORNBERRY, MORGAN and CLARK, Circuit Judges.
LEWIS R. MORGAN, Circuit Judge:
In this appeal appellants seek to recover back pay for a demoted black school principal and reasonable attorneys' fees arising out of a suit to integrate the public school system of Lawrence County, Alabama. Since we hold that additional findings are necessary on both issues, we remand for consideration on the merits by the district judge.
Appellants, representing the black citizens of Lawrence County, filed an action to integrate the county's public schools on July 9, 1966. Initially, a freedom-of-choice plan was put into effect by the district court, but on December 11, 1969, appellants filed a motion to require the Lawrence County Board of Education (hereafter Board) to establish a unitary school system in compliance with the then recent decisions of Green v. County School Board of New Kent County, Virginia, 1968, 391 U.S. 430, 88 S.Ct. 1689, 20 L.Ed.2d 716, and Alexander v. Holmes County Board of Education, 1969, 396 U.S. 19, 90 S.Ct. 29, 24 L.Ed.2d 19. In this motion appellants included a request for reasonable attorneys' fees.
The district court held a hearing, and on June 12th and August 13th of 1970, entered orders which made no mention of attorneys' fees, but which ostensibly established a unitary school system by pairing schools in entities called single administrative units. However, with the beginning of school in the fall of 1970 it became apparent that the Board had effectively circumvented the court's desegregation plan by consistently pairing an all-white school and a traditionally black school of identical grade structure together in the same administrative unit, and then allowing the students within each unit to choose which of the two schools they would attend. Predictably, the white students chose one school and the black students elected another, resulting in a dual school system similar to the old freedom-of-choice plans struck down by Green v. County School Board of New Kent County, supra, and Alexander v. Holmes County Board of Education, supra.
The Board also admittedly failed to employ nondiscriminatory criteria in selecting the staff members who, due to the reorganization of the school system, had to be demoted to lower paying positions.
In response to this turn of events, appellants filed motions demanding that the dual school system be abolished; that the school superintendent be held in contempt for failing to obey the court's orders; and that several black staff members be awarded back pay for the discriminatory demotions. On December 29, 1970, the district court rendered a decision which granted most of the back pay demands (with the exception of a claim to be noted later), and required the Board to immediately dismantle its dual school system, 320 F.Supp. 790. The court declined to hold the superintendent in contempt, but it did state that the defendant school officials had employed a "subterfuge for perpetuating a dual school system" and that "defendants have totally defaulted in the representation made by them to this Court, namely, that authorization of administrative units would not result in any facility becoming identified as a school for one race or another".
It is settled law in this circuit that federal district courts may, at their discretion, award attorneys' fees in civil rights litigation where the actions of the defendants were "unreasonable and obdurately obstinate". Lee v. Southern Home Sites Corporation, 5 Cir., 1970, 429 F.2d 290; Williams v. Kimbrough, 5 Cir., 1969, 415 F.2d 874. Nevertheless, as appellants conceded on oral argument before this court, the district judge in the case at bar has never ruled on their demand for attorneys' fees. Since this court is not empowered to make an initial adjudication of such a claim, we remand this issue to the district court for its determination without even the slightest intimation as to whether the Board did or did not engage in such conduct as would merit an award of reasonable attorneys' fees to appellants.
Appellants' second and final contention concerns the back pay award which the district court granted Ollie Luster. It is uncontested that Luster, a black high school principal, was unlawfully demoted to an elementary school principalship with a substantial decrease in pay. Accordingly, the district court ordered the Board to pay Luster the additional amount he would have received had he not been illegally demoted from his position as high school principal. However, from this award the court deducted the compensation Luster received from his job as an instructor at night in the county vocational school. In their brief appellants contend that the night employment was a secondary job, totally unrelated to Luster's duties as an elementary school principal and that "at a time when other principals in the system are presumably at home enjoying their leisure, Luster is teaching a night class at the county's trade system".
If this assertion is true, and Luster's night employment actually was separate and distinct from his position as principal of the elementary school, the district court erroneously deducted the compensation. Back pay is normally an integral part of the equitable remedy of reinstatement used by the federal courts to restore aggrieved litigants to the positions they should have occupied had it not been for the unlawful deprivation of their constitutional rights. See Harkless v. Sweeny Independent School District, 5 Cir., 1970, 427 F.2d 319. And while it is true that payment of back wages must be diminished by earnings received during the interim period, the whole purpose of equitable restoration would be frustrated by deducting compensation obtained from a second unrelated job which a litigant could have held even if he had not suffered from illegal discrimination.
However, the issue of whether the two jobs were related or separate is a question of fact which remains undecided by the district court. The court's only ruling in this matter was that Luster was not to receive back pay "for any periods for which he receives compensation as an instructor at the vocational school". We therefore remand this question to the district court so that it may hold an evidentiary hearing, if necessary, and decide the issue of Luster's back pay award in accordance with the views expressed herein.
Reversed and remanded with directions.


is the strongest herbal laxative for the hard-to-move person. In some people it will cause griping, which is why we have put it in combination with Psyllium and Slippery Elm. It is excellent for bad breath and will also help to expel worms (parasites).
is the bark of a tree. Its name means "sacred covering" and it is the world's most intelligent herbal laxative. It works via the liver and gallbladder and is non-habit-forming. The bitter gall of the gallbladder is the detergent for the colon; Cascara Sagrada simply strengthens the gallbladder. The gallbladder releases the bile through the small intestines and enters the colon, giving the colon its peristalsis action, which begins moving the waste off the colon wall. It may have been years since the colon has had any peristalsis movement; therefore, you may feel some griping when you first start taking Cascara Sagrada but it will subside shortly.
is one of the most important herbs in Common Sense™ "SuperLax" because it provides a protective coating for the colon wall. The colon wall is where most of our health troubles begin, because when there is no protection, the waste from the colon leaks directly into the bloodstream. Therefore, Slippery Elm may be referred to as "nature's acidophilus". It also serves as an aid to digestion, ulcers, and sensitive stomachs.
is a great appetite suppressant as well as an aromatic herb used for cooking. We use it in Common Sense™ "SuperLax" for its ability to dispel gas as the colon is cleansed. It is also good for gout, cramps, obesity, joint pains, food poisoning, and stomach problems (of all kinds).
is a man-made (all organic materials) protective coating for the colon wall that is not made with any milk products, sugar, or artificial coloring. It also helps to prevent yeast infections.


Hull KR have announced controversial stand-off Paul Cooke will once again be considered for selection from this weekend.
The 27-year-old has sat out Rovers' last two Super League matches amid allegations over his off-field behaviour.
But after admitting on Friday that his conduct had been "unprofessional", Cooke could make his return in this Sunday's game against Harlequins.
The decision to bring Cooke back into the fold follows discussions between the player, head coach Justin Morgan and chairman Neil Hudgell on Friday.
"Regarding events of the past few weeks and following full and frank discussions with the club, I accept that my off-field behaviour has been unprofessional and have apologised to those concerned for that," the former England international said in a statement.
"I would also like to extend that apology to the supporters who have been tremendous since my arrival at the club.
Morgan hinted last Friday that Cooke, who has more than two years left to run on his Rovers contract, could still have a future at Craven Park if he dealt with personal problems.
Morgan said: "The meeting was very positive and Paul particularly impressed me by showing a strong and genuine determination to make up for lost time and to get back to recapturing his best form.


After roses that have been left on the bush bloom and fade, their petals fall and round nubs develop at their bases. These are the fruit of the rosebush and are called rose hips. Rose hips are nutritious, high in vitamin A and C content, and are often used in jellies, jams and teas. Rose hips also have medicinal benefits; according to the University of Maryland Medical Center they can help reduce inflammation and treat conditions such as osteoarthritis. You can purchase rose hips at health food stores, or harvest your own from your garden rosebushes.
Allow your roses to remain on the plant until the petals drop and rose hips develop. It is best to harvest the rose hips after the first frost, when they have turned red and become softer. However, don't let them get very soft and wrinkled.
Snip the rose hips from the rose bush right where the hip meets the stem. Make sure your shears are clean and sharp before you begin.
Place the rose hips in a colander and rinse them off with lukewarm water. Cut the ends and the stems off from the hip, getting as close to the hip as possible without cutting into it.
Set the rose hips in a single layer on a paper towel and allow them to air dry for a few days. When the skin of the hip begins to wrinkle, it will be easier to remove the seeds from the hip.
Cut the hips in half lengthwise, from top to bottom, and carefully scoop out the seeds and hairy pulp that is inside the hip.
Rinse off with lukewarm water, and spread the halved hips out on a paper towel and dry them with another towel.
Turn your oven to its lowest setting, which is usually "Warm" or 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Cover a cookie sheet with a piece of parchment paper and lay the rose hips on the paper. Put them in the oven, with the oven door cracked open, for two hours.
Allow the rose hips to cool on the counter before putting them in a glass jar for storage. Store the glass jar in a cool, dry cupboard.
While all roses produce rose hips, traditional bush varieties such as the rogusas generally produce larger, plumper hips than modern varieties and hybrids. A nursery professional can recommend good varieties for rose hip production.
If you treat your rosebushes with a pesticide, make sure it is clearly labeled as safe for food crops. Organic pesticides are likely to be safe, but still need to be checked.
Rose hips can also be dried in a food dehydrator. Check your model's user guide for instructions.
Do not use rose hips from any rosebushes that have been treated with a pesticide that is not clearly labeled as safe for food crops.
Aluminum pans and utensils can destroy the vitamin C content in rose hips, and should be avoided during the process of drying them. This is why the sheet of parchment is placed on the cookie sheet.

Home News rafa benitez insists newcastle united have to invest in order to stop fighting relegation every year
Rafa Benitez insists Newcastle United have to invest in order to stop fighting relegation every year
Alani Adefunmiloye
Newcastle United were close to having new owners recently, and fans were delighted that chairman Mike Ashley's 13-year reign was coming to an end.
However, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund withdrew their £300 million takeover bid after getting frustrated with the English Premier League's rigorous Owners' and Directors' Test, and the businessman remains in charge until further notice.
Having added five players to the first-team so far, Newcastle haven't done badly in the summer transfer window as many had feared, and they could still make one or two signings before the window shuts.
Ashley has been supportive despite the failed takeover, and head coach Steve Bruce couldn't have asked for more.
However, former Magpies manager Rafa Benitez believes more investments are needed across every area, insisting it's about the quality of signings and not the quantity.
"My message was and still is that they have to invest in the academy, the training ground and the first-team to guarantee a competitive team," the Dalian Professional boss told Sportsmail.
"Not to compete against Liverpool or Manchester City, but, like other historic clubs in the Premier League, the relegation battle cannot be the target every year.
"The city and the fans have been suffering for years and deserve better. Last season, after three years in the Premier League and with eight signings, still they couldn't reach the Top 10."
Newcastle won their opening match of a new Premier League campaign for the first time since 2012 after handing West Ham United a 2-0 defeat at the London Stadium on Saturday, and Bruce will hope to go one better this term following last season's 13th-placed finish.
It remains to be seen for how much longer the wantaway Ashley will remain in charge, but it's hard to see him investing in the academy and training ground going forward, and his decision to invest in the first-team this summer is mainly for the club to hold on to their top-flight status and remain sellable.

How Childhood Trauma Creates Life-long Adult Addicts
By Maia Szalavitz 09/25/11
Childhood abuse massively increases the risk of people turning to drugs and alcohol. Pressuring someone to relive trauma can deepen their addiction. A little advice to fans of "tough love" treatment like Dr. Drew: Try a little tenderness.
Early childhood abuse is a reliable factor in the lives of many addicts photo via
Is addiction caused by drugs alone? Or do chronic stress and trauma in childhood play the determining factor in predicting who will lose control once they start using drugs?
As our society still tries to deal with the consequences of 9/11 a full ten years after the attacks, the continuing role of childhood trauma in addiction gains increasing scientific traction. Early life experience programs the brain and body for the environment it encounters: a calm, nurturing upbringing will orient a child to thrive in most conditions, while a stressful, barren one will predispose it to conditions of scarcity, anxiety and chaos. Not all stress is bad, however. Learning requires some stress, and coping with intermittent, mild doses builds the system up, like a muscle. Stress crosses into the hazard zone of trauma only when it comes in "doses" that are too large or too unpredictable or too sustained over which the person has little or no control. Paradoxically, early neglect—an absence of parenting—can be as traumatic as overt abuse.
One study of children who attended the 10 middle and high schools closest to ground zero where the Twin Towers stood found that the greater the number of trauma-inducing factors they experienced, the more likely the kids were to increase their use of alcohol and other drugs. These factors included knowing someone who died, being personally in fear for your life or that of your loved ones during the attacks and how close their school was to the towers. Compared to those with no exposure factors, teens with one were five times more likely to increase alcohol and other drug use and those with three or more factors were a stunning 19 times more likely to increase their alcohol or drug use. The youth who increased their use had more difficulty with their schoolwork, lower grades and more behavior problems, suggesting that they weren't just using drugs but had developed drug abuse or even potential dependence.
This research confirms a whole body of literature showing that the more stressful your childhood experiences—and the more different your types of stress—the greater your odds of later life addiction. The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study, which includes some 17,000 participants in California's Kaiser Permanente insurance program, found multiple, dose-dependent relationships between severe childhood stress and all types of addictions, including overeating. Adverse childhood experiences measured included emotional, physical and sexual abuse, neglect, having a mentally ill or addicted parent, losing a parent to death or divorce, living in a house with domestic violence and having an incarcerated parent.
Compared to a child with no ACEs, one with six or more is nearly three times more likely to be a smoker as an adult. A child with four or more is five times more likely to become an alcoholic and 60% more likely to become obese. And a boy with four or more ACEs is a whopping 46 times more likely to become an IV drug user later in life than one who has had no severe adverse childhood experiences.
"These are extraordinarily strong relationships," says Dr. Vincent Felitti, a founder of the ACE study and the former chief of preventive medicine at Kaiser Permanente in San Diego. "You read the newspaper and the cancer scare of the week is about something that raises risk by 30%. Here, we're talking thousands of percentage points."
The type of adverse experience doesn't make a large difference in the results, according to Felitti: what seems to matter most is the cumulative effect of multiple types of stress. For example, having been both physically abused and neglected is worse than having been physically abused alone.
One factor does stand out, however. "I would have assumed before we looked at it that probably the most destructive problem would be incest—but interestingly it was not, it was co-equal with the others," says Felitti. Instead, he notes, "The one with the slight edge, by 15% over the others, was chronic recurrent humiliation, what we termed as emotional abuse," citing examples like parents calling their children stupid and worthless. (The study did not look at bullying by peers, but other studies have found that such abuse can haver similarly negative health effects.)
Ironically, humiliation is a common theme in addiction treatment, where tough confrontation to "break" addicts remains a frequent practice, despite research showing its ineffectiveness and harmfulness. Some so-called therapeutic-community programs, for example, place people on a "hot seat," where they are confronted about their personality flaws and other negative qualities, sometimes for hours on end. Other programs force people to wear humiliating signs or even diapers. Sexual humiliation, such as forcing men or teenage boys to wear drag or women pose as prostitutes, is not uncommon. Although mainstream programs like Phoenix House and Daytop have worked to eliminate such degrading practices, they persist in the industry, particularly—and tragically—with adolescents.
Indeed, people traumatized as children can actually be re-traumatized by this form of treatment, exacerbating both post-traumatic stress disorder and addiction.
Felitti insists that the best way to treat addiction is with empathy and compassion. "I would argue that the person using [drugs] is not using them to have a problem, they're using drugs to find a solution," he says. Although some addicts have no apparent childhood trauma, at least half have suffered at least one form of severe childhood stress and many have experiences multiple exposures. Among people with the most severe addictions, trauma histories are ubiquitous. And emotional sensitivity, which varies widely with genetics, may make experiences that would not be traumatic for most children intensely traumatic for some. Though all addiction is certainly not caused by trauma, it is becoming increasingly clear that it can be a big part of the disorder.
Fortunately, the same key factor that provokes resilience in children coping with chronic stress also spurs recovery in from addiction. That's social support: whether it comes from a 12-step program like AA, from family members, a loving spouse, friends, other support groups or civic and religious organizations. Safe, familiar people buffer us against stress: the physiology of our stress systems is designed to calm down with a nurturing word or touch from someone we trust. If we want to prevent addiction and promote recovery, we need to love more and stress less.

History of the Farne Islands
From saints to shipwrecks, the Farnes have a long and diverse history National Trust / Nick Lewis
From hermits to lighthouses Farne Islands, Northumberland, has many interesting tales to tell, help the National Trust ensure its future by discovering its past.
St Cuthbert
St Cuthbert spent over 10 years living as a hermit on Inner Farne and was on the island when, in 684, he was informed he had been elected Bishop of Lindisfarne. Cuthbert had moved to the island in 676 and died here in 687. He was buried on nearby Lindisfarne. The present complex of buildings occupies the site of Cuthbert's original cell.
St Cuthbert's Chapel still links the Island to its monastic past. The building dates from the 1300's but was heavily restored in the 19th-century when the present furnishings were introduced.

Dr. Phyllis Solomon Joins 2015 Class of Fellows of the Society for Social Work and Research
Authored by: Jessica Bautista
This month, distinguished professor and researcher Dr. Phyllis Solomon was invited to join the 2015 class of Fellows of the Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR).
Solomon, a member of SP2's standing faculty since 1994, is internationally known for her research on clinical services and service system issues related to adults with severe mental illness and their families. Her work has been recognized by the American Association of Community Psychiatrists, U.S. Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association, and Society for Social Work and Research.
With all of her notable accolades over the years, however, Solomon was still caught off guard by the honor of SSWR's invite.
"I was surprised. This Fellows designation is earned by a point system in terms of service to the organization and this is only the second year of the creation of this designation," Solomon said. "But I do believe it is important to recognize the contributions of those who have done a lot of service for the promotion of a cause."
The SSWR Fellowship was established to honor and recognize current SSWR members for their individual accomplishments, leadership and contribution to SSWR as a scientific society. SSWR Fellows are expected to serve as role models and mentors for individuals pursuing careers in social work research and are to advance, disseminate and translate research that addresses issues of social work practice and promotes a diverse, equitable and just society.
Many would agree that Solomon's work speaks for itself and makes her a choice selection to advance SSWR's mission. She is most recognized for her studies surrounding mental illness, which includes an array of issues within this domain, such as criminal justice, HIV, homelessness, family support and violence against caregivers – all related to adults with severe psychiatric disorders.
Solomon has received countless honors over the course of her impressive career – she has been named a Fellow of the American Academy of Social Work & Social Welfare for her distinguished accomplishments as a scholar and practitioner dedicated to achieving excellence in high impact work that advances social good.
In 2010, she also received a Fellowship from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science and spent time in Japan to work on implementation and methods for evaluation of evidence-based practices, particularly for persons with mental illnesses.
"I will continue to serve SSWR as I believe its mission is an important one for the social work profession itself."
Before Solomon, two other esteemed SP2 faculty members – Dr. Zvi Gellis and Dr. Roberta Iversen – were inducted into the first cohort of SSWR Fellows last year.
