Brabham Automotive to make a comeback at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
By Divyank Kushagra Bansal | on January 10, 2019
Brabham Automotive is set to return to international motorsport racing starting in 2021
Brabham Automotive has recently announced its intention to return to international sports car racing. The Adelaide-based manufacturer has confirmed that it started off the development work and setting up of a factory racing team to compete in the 2021-22 season of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the World Endurance Championship (WEC), where it will be gunning to compete in the GTE class. As a treat for fans around the world, Brabham Automotive will also share its journey on social media under the hashtag, #brabhamroadtolemans.
In May 2018, Brabham had introduced its £1 million track car, the BT62, which is said to be the brainchild of Brabham's Managing Director, former Grand Prix driver and Le Mans winner, David Brabham. Brabham has also been running a development program for quite a while now to make the BT62 ready for high-performance endurance racing. Further, Brabham's road to Le Mans is also directly linked to the Brabham BT62 Driver Development Programme, which will allow early owners of the BT62 track car to be a part of the test team for Le Mans and also give them a chance to experience Pro-Amateur racing opportunities.
On Brabham's proposed return to Le Mans, Pierre Fillon, President of the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (promoters of the 24 Hours of Le Mans), said, 'At Le Mans, the legendary Brabham name instantly conjures up memories of an outstanding family success story. It all began in July 1967 at the only French Grand Prix to be held at the Bugatti Circuit, when three-time Formula One world champion Sir Jack Brabham took the honours in a car sporting the Brabham name. Sir Jack's sons, Geoff and David, perpetuated the family tradition by winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1993 and 2009, respectively, both with Peugeot. For the Automobile Club de l'Ouest, the return of the Brabham name to endurance racing is therefore much more than symbolic. It demonstrates remarkable loyalty and an extraordinary competitive spirit.'
While further details about the GTE track car will be revealed over the due course of time, the company has confirmed that it will be based on the chassis of the existing BT62 track car. The BT62 is powered by a 5.4-litre naturally-aspirated, quad-cam motor that develops 700bhp and 667Nm of torque and is mated to a six-speed Holinger sequential gearbox. While the power output might not seem very impressive, given that a standard Lamborghini Aventador produces 730bhp, what makes the BT62 particularly ferocious is that it weighs just 972kg, giving it a power-to-weight ratio of almost 720bhp per tonne!

Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift, Sir Ian McKellen, and James Corden Set to Star in New 'Cats' Adaptation
It looks like the infamous Broadway musical Cats is currently being adapted to the big screen with the most all-star of all-star casts and we are just pulsing with excitement!!
Jennifer Hudson, Sir Ian McKellan, James Corden, and Taylor Swift have officially been named as four of the luminaries leading this brand new cinematic opus. The film is also set to be directed by Tom Hooper (The King's Speech, Les Misérables) and written by Lee Hall (Billy Elliot) so it is already abundantly clear that this major motion picture will be something major, indeed.
The beloved kitten musical is based upon the T.S. Eliot collection of whimsical poems and prose all about the psychology of the feline mind, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, and is the largest grossing and most translated musical (with over $340-million grossed and twenty languages translated to) in existence. It seems like a new adaptation was ultimately inevitable (and it's a little surprising it hasn't happened sooner)!
The story itself takes place within the world of a group of cats known as the Jellicles as they prepare for the Jellicle Ball, where the Jellicle leader will choose one, lucky feline and grant them an extra life. It's strange, campy, a little grotesque, and unlike anything else you will ever see!
The new adaptation will begin filming in the UK in November (and we cannot wait)!

Which is Which: Taylor Swift Lyric or John Green Quote?
Taylor Swift made it perfectly clear on Twitter once that John Green is one of her favorite writers ever, and John Green also expressed that he is an avid fan of the pop singer. During the shooting of the film adaptation of Paper Towns, Green and Swift made a series of exchanges on social media that quickly gained the attention of their fans.
John Green is my favorite writer and @Caradelevingne @halstonsage @natandalex are some of my favorite people. Can't WAIT to see Paper Towns.
— Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) July 23, 2015
Taylor Swift is very funny and generous over the telephone. (Which I know because we just spoke on the phone.)
— John Green (@johngreen) November 24, 2014
So to that extent have they influenced each other in their respective careers? Take this quiz now to see if you can tell the difference between a Taylor Swift lyric and a John Green quote.

The Internet Can't Get Enough of this Taylor Swift-Harry Potter Mash-Up
The Harry Potter franchise has spawned spin-offs, movies, an illustrated edition, and even a play. But until now, it never had a Hogwarts/Taylor Swift mash-up video.
That hole in our hearts has finally been filled by "Taylor Swift & Harry Potter Parody Mashup," a video posted on Youtube this month by user weasleysweaters. With melodies lifted from Taylor Swift's mega-hits and lyrics that are filled with references to the Harry Potter series, the video has become a viral sensation. It has also become our new favorite thing on the Internet. Check it out:
The video is the creation of a Los Angeles-based "Harry Potter Superfan" named Kate Parkin. Parkin makes her living as an actress, and her showmanship is clear in the video. She comes armed with costumes, props, and an arsenal of Harry Potter references that fit seamlessly into Taylor Swift's original melodies.
This isn't the first time that Parkin has made a Harry Potter parody video. She's produced several others, including "Do You Wanna Build a Horcrux?" (to the tune of "Do You Wanna Build a Snowman," from Disney's Frozen). You can check out all of Parkin's Harry Potter mashups on her YouTube page.

I Started the year doing what I love best, playing the piano on Concourse A at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta. I have posted a setlist below to give an idea of a typical day at the airport. I will post some more of them in the future as each day is different. I am calling this setlist series "To The Best Of My Recollection".
The year ended with an exciting and most fulfilling creative project working in the studio with team Puddles Pity Party. I added keyboards to tracks for his Holiday CD and show including his version of my song "Let's Make Everday Like Christmas" We also collaborated on a version of "Remember Me" From Coco. Here it is on my youtube page. More to come in 2019!
The last day of the year the song that I wrote with Stephen Kalinich for Francine Reed "Surrender" was performed by her and The Joe Gransden Big Band feauturing The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. What an honor and a great way to end 2018.
I've been capturing a few musical moments on Concourse A from the last few months of 2018.
Live on Concourse A- To "The Best Of My Recollection"
Our son Bill has a great youtube site showcasing his jazz education tips and his website provides info and a link for his new book "Chord Tone Improvisation A Practical Guide For Playing On Jazz Standards"
Here is our daughter New York based Drummer/Percussionist/Songwriter Janna Graham's website. She is doing amazing things in New York on and off Broadway and has some wonderful original music as well.
I never really thought about doing anything other than being a musician. I always loved listening to records and reading the credits for info about all of my favorite music. I spent lots of time as a kid at the library at Lincoln Center reading books about my favorite musical artists and show business characters.
Why did you choose the piano as your main instrument?
There was a gold painted uprite piano in the living room of the apt. I grew up in with a couple fake books on it. I naturally gravitated towards it and learned to play chords and get through some songs around age 6 and eventually started lessons, first with my Mom's cousin Bee Walker who I called Aunt Bee.i took singing lessons with her and we worked on show tunes. My favorites were "If I Loved You" and "Soliloquy" from Carousel.A few years later when I started getting more into Rock I went to a teacher named Steve on 200th Street. We worked on reading lead sheets of songs by Leon Russell and Elton John who I got to see perform in concert at The Fillmore East. I was 10. Elton was the opening act. My brother and I saw so many amazing shows at the Fillmore when I was 10 and 11.
I just always loved the piano and things always seem to be okay in the world for me when I am playing one.
What are some of the special moments from your musical career?
Most recently a very special moment was a gig at The Apple House in Decatur which was a reunion of our family band. Both of our kids make us so proud as human beings as well as musicians. Bill(30) is a jazz pianist/composer/and teacher and Janna(26) is a New York based drummer,songwriter,and teacher, She also has a great band in Brooklyn called The Unified Field Orchestra. For the reunion concert we played interpretations of rare Brian Wilson/Beach Boys music that they grew up on in our house and it was such a blast. We didn't get to do all the songs we had planned but we hope to do it again next year.
One of my favorite sessions I've been a part of was in 2010 when I played with original Beach Boy David Marks for his "Live on Sunset" album which was recorded at the site of the legendary Western Studios in Hollywood. I also loved the gigs with David Marks and The Summertime Blues Band that we played at Eddies Attic and at The Endless Summer Quarterly Pet Sounds Safari near Charlotte in 2009. I have also enjoyed several collaborations with Poet and Beach Boys/Motown Lyricist Stephen Kalinich and I'm still blown away at how effortlessly our song "Surrender" came together, He sent me the lyrics and the song just materialized right away, I'd always wanted to write a song for Francine and it means so much to me to hear her sing it.
I had recorded a solo piano tribute to the music of Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys in 2004 and although the album was never officially released it remains my proudest solo piano recording and finally in 2016 I released one of the songs as a digital single.
When I was 28 I spent a good part of the first week of October 1987 auditioning and spending some time with one of my musical heroes Frank Zappa.His humanity, musical direction,laughter, kindness,and advice are some of my most treasured moments and I have never met a more down to earth person than him in the music biz other than Bruce Hampton who we would meet soon in our new home of Atlanta where my wife Mindy and I relocated to from Los Angeles in 1988 to raise our new family.
For songwriting and singing My 1st album "Lovebrain" and my last "Lovebrain 2" sum up who I am the best. They include some improv too and I play a bunch of instruments on them.
You have worked with many wonderful musicians including Francine Reed and Col. Bruce Hampton. Can you share a few memories?
It's hard to pick just one or 2 moments with Bruce, More than anything it was everyday moments. Our friendship goes back to the late 80's but it was around 2008 that we started our weekly Tuesday lunches which soon became legendary. We miss him so much but he is always with us and around us and it's important to keep practicing the lessons he taught us one of which is "Every gig is Carnegie Hall"
Some of my favorite gigs with Bruce were in New York. The Brooklyn Bowl with Lew Soloff was a highlight and the following year at B.B. Kings with David Marks sitting in with the band along with Nels Cline and Warren Haynes thus guitar representation from The Beach Boys, Wilco and The Allman Brothers as well as Bruce and the great A.J. Ghent.Peter Grant was also on that gig. Of course I'll never forgot the time we played on Elvis's porch in Tupelo Mi.
The challenge is also the thing that keeps us on out toes and in the moment. To create something from nothing is such an awesome gift and responsibility. So to answer your question what challenges/inspires me now, it's the moment of creation at the piano. I'm challenged every time I play to go a little further and explore different places. I get so much inspiration from my family and from everyone I have the opportunity to play music for at every gig and I am also inspired by all of the piano players at the airport and all of the great musicians on wonderful Atlanta music scene. I am challenged when I practice at home which I've been doing more of in the last 4 years. Mainly Bach and Mozart. Since I'm not classically trained i always said that when I got older I would spend time working on that aspect and now as I look towards age 60 I'm starting to make a bit of progress in that direction.
What can your audience expect from Friday night's concert?
The other day while playing at the airport I had the thought that to hear what I do on Concourse A you need to be either getting ready to fly or returning so with that in mind I thought I would give a taste of my airport inspired music and play some extended improvised pieces , of course I won't know what themes will present themselves until they do.I do know that I'll include some of my original music inspired by my muse and the love of my life Mindy. All of the music I grew up with and love is always floating around my brain and I don't differentiate between styles so on any given day it could include music by The Beatles, Thelonious Monk, Chick Corea, George Gershwin,Billy Cobham, Bacharach/David,Herbie Hancock,Stevie Wonder, Duke Ellington,Joni Mitchell,Miles Davis, Randy Newman, The Beach Boys,Shuggie Otis,Todd Rundgren,Jimmy Webb,Bronislau Kaper,The Grateful Dead Richard Rodgers,Prince,Paul Simon, Nat King Cole,Frank Loesser, Irving Berlin, Marvin Gaye,Joe Zawinul,,Frank Zappa,The Marx. Bros. Ya never know and I never know but it's always a fun adventure.
In the last couple of years I've had the pleasure to work with some wonderful artists and bands. Gwen Hughes and The Hitmakers, Theresa Hightower, Fairfax and 3rd, and my duo with Adam Wolfe. I an grateful to all of them and look forward to much more music.
These days as I spend more and more time with the piano both at gigs and at home I have started documenting some of the ongoing arrangement and ideas that have been presenting themselves. Some of these are on my youtube channel.
I appeared recently on the T.V. show "The Resident" as what else, A piano player.
New video-March 17th-2018 I got inspired recently to learn this classic song by NRBQ. It includes a nod to Harpo as well. I feel this is one of the greatest love songs ever written and I was glad I got to sing it to the woman I love.
Updated 8/31/17 Here's a little clip I did last night of one of my all time favorite Todd Rundgren songs.
More new beginings are in store. I am rejuvenated in my creativity thanks to a road trip that Mindy and I took to deliver our daughter's drums to her in New York. Along the way we met up with friends new and old,reconnected with family members in our home towns and wound the trip up in The Berkshires where i came of age as a musician back in the early and mid 70's. As an extra treat I got to play a gig in Pittfield Ma. just blocks from where my Father's radio station used to be. Thanks To Fran Tokarz and Aaron Dean for inviting me. Playing music in The Berkshires reminded me of the creative spark that has driven me for all these years and that night at The Rainbow in Pittsfield, I have never felt more free and in tune with the muse. I am ready to carry this forward into some exciting summer gigs here in the ATL. Stay tuned for updates!
He will always live on in our hearts and we are grateful for many years of friendship and music.
I have started a workshop project on youtube, My favorite covers and originals played and sung on my piano at home.
Updated June 2015- Click the link below to listen to my soundcloud stream which includes my original jazz and pop music as well as some standards and a couple selection's from the Feb 8th 2015 Francine Reed and The Jez Graham Trio performance at Eddies Attic.

I have been working hard in Pine Groove studios putting down, Guitar, Bass,Drums,Vocals and Keyboard parts, finishing the songs that make this record a continuation of my first and most personal album.

I co-wrote and co-produced the song "Tweet" along with David Beard and Gary Griffin for an album and group called "The Bamboo Trading Co." The song features a lead vocal by Dean Torrence of Jan and Dean along with some fabulous singers and instrumentalists who have worked with The Beach Boys and Brian Wilson. I play on a couple tracks as well. Highly reccomended for Beach Boys and Sunshine Pop fans! The Bamboo Trading Co.
Below is a clip from Col. Bruce Hampton and The Realms of Ventilation as we were known in summer 2011. In the middle of this 20 minute clip is my version of The Lucky Old Sun as well as some serious jamming between Steel master-A.J. Ghent, Col. Hampton, Ben (Sunknee) Williams and myself at The Dog Star Tavern in Fernandina Beach Fl.
Highlights of 2012 and 2013 include some memorabnle gigs in San Francisco, New York, and many places in between with The legendary Col. Bruce Hampton ret. We co wrote and recorded an album which is slated for a 2014 release, in addition to keyboards I also played some guitar, bass and even some electric sitar on a special country tune we wrote with lyrics by Bruce and Billy Bob Thorton. A special highlight of 2012 was The Magnolia fest in Live Oak Fl where we had Paul Barrere of Little Feat sit in. Another treat was playing in New York with our very special guest Lew Soloff and my cousin Peter Grant on drums, as well as our shows with Gov't Mule in Athens and Atlanta and our return to New York in March 2013 where we played B.B. Kings club after The Allman Brothers show at the Beacon. For that show we had on guitar, David Marks, Warren Haynes, Nels Cline and of course A.J. Ghent.
Realms of Venilation Featuring Col. Bruce Hampton played a special show in Nashvile for a show called Music City Roots on July 18th.

My solo piano version of the song "Rainbows" written by Dennis Wilson, Stephen Kalinich and Carl Wilson has just been released on the vinyl version of The Stephen Kalinich and Friends Album-California Feeling, For ordering info click here.
All of the sudden my single '1968 homecoming Queen Rides Again is getting some interest in Japan. I wrote the song about my wife's sister in 1982 and though I played with the facts a little, It is a true story. We recorded the song at a studio in North Hollywood where me and Drummer/Percussionist Victor Bisetti had just recorded an album for Darlene Love who we both had recently played with. With the help of Fitzhugh Jenkins on Electric bass and our engineer Woody, We recorded what is very much musically, my tribute to Brian Wilson although there are no harmonies. The 45 R.P.M. was released in 1985 by Rockaway Records. the B side is an upbeat Power Pop song called "No Violins" that features Tommy Dunbar of "The Rubinoos" on Guitar.

What to know before looking for an outdoor solar lamp online?
First of all, solar lamps are outdoor lights that run on solar power. Useful in a wide range of applications, outdoor lighting generally consists of an LED light, one or more solar panels, and a rechargeable battery. The panels use sunlight to charge the battery, which then powers the solar lamp at night. Many are equipped with daylight sensors and designed to turn on automatically each evening, creating a welcoming glow all night long.
Lamps come in a wide range of styles, and quality can vary widely, so it's important to remember that cheaper is not always better. High-quality LED solar lamps tend to look and function like more traditional electrical lights, guaranteeing years of efficient outdoor lighting with the look you want.
The benefits of a solar powered lamp make it a great option for updating existing outdoor lighting. Perhaps the most essential advantage of installing solar powered lighting in your yard, patio, or garden is how efficient and environmentally friendly they are. Whether you need lighting options for a walkway, patio, pool area, entryway, or garden, you will enjoy 360-degree benefits with quality LED lamps.
In size and appearance, solar lamps for outdoor lighting can vary widely. The most common types available in Australia range from patio and street style lamps to full-size lamp posts and even indoor solar lamps including products like solar table lamps.
Lighting and decorating a patio is an easy task with patio lamps. Create the perfect mood lighting for your gatherings or relaxing summer nights with freestanding patio lamps on posts, or hang them from a hook or chain for a charming rustic touch.
Exterior yard lamps allow creating landscaping accents that will put your hard work on display for your guests and allow you to enjoy your yard until late into the night. With no wires required, you can install a solar powered yard lamp just about anywhere.
Create dramatic effects and safe walkways with LED solar lawn lamps for outside illumination that glow close to the ground. With simple ground stakes and a bit of effort, lawn lamps are easy to install. What's more, solar powered lawn lamps can add a level of illumination to your yard that won't detract from the other features.
The right lighting can transform a garden space into a beautiful, functional spot. Whether you envision your garden as a gathering spot for friends and family or a peaceful place to relax, exterior lighting can add the perfect decorative accent everyone will admire. Solar lamps feature 360-illumination, installed at any height you choose. So, whether your dream garden includes lining a walkway or patio with charming lamp posts or creating an ornamental lighting system for your entire outdoor space, you can have it all.
Where to buy the best outdoor solar lamps in Australia to get a great value deal?
For the last years solar powered lamps have developed a lot, and now there are multiple options for places to shop for solar energy lamps including online shopping. There are advantages and disadvantages of purchasing products offline, but we would instead concentrate on benefits of online shopping for LED solar lights that offer much higher value for the money especially when it comes to special deals and sales. For example, have a closer look at Sunny Bunny Solar that has one of the most significant ranges of outdoor solar lamps in Australia. Different types of devices high-quality LED lighting products are laid out on the website with a comprehensive description, quality photos and customer reviews. There are special offers and discounts, specially selected featured products and customer ratings for each lamp that makes it easier to choose.

Even though the company was started in 1997, the popularity of the notebooks paradoxically soared with the emergence of blogs. In his interview on The Unmistakable Creative, former PR director Erik Fabian described the Moleskine as a "platform for your imagination".
Sarah Peck, Amber Rae, and Ryan Holiday all share at least one if not both of these patterns. Amber and Sarah make music from their words. Ryan has written 6 books in 6 years.
Even though I'd already read the book on Kindle, I immediately ordered a physical copy of Dani's book Still Writing: The Perils and Pleasures of a Creative Life. To this day, I return to it regularly, using many quotes in blog posts, and am inspired with ideas for my articles. It has more underlined passages and sentences than any of my other books. After that interview, I also switched exclusively to reading physical books.
A physical notebook is one of the best distraction-free writing tools because there's nothing else competing for your attention. You have no choice but to be present and focused. You're also forced to slow down because you can't feverishly jot down every thought that comes to mind.
A physical notebook is one of the best distraction free writing tools there is.
If you're somebody who does your writing early in the morning, it keeps you from turning on your devices first thing in the morning. And it prevents you from starting your day on the internet, which damages your brain.
"When we write by hand, we're forced be more economical and strategic with our language, crafting notes in our own words. To do that, we have to listen more closely, think about the information, and essentially distill others' words and thoughts through our own neurological filtration system and onto the page," says Ryder Caroll in his new book The Bullet Journal Method.
Chances are that you'll notice a big difference in the speed at which you think and a better ability to manage your attention.
Your behavior is linked to your environment whether you're consciously aware of it or not. If you set your notebook out the night before, sit down at your desk, or wherever you choose to write with a pen in hand, eventually the notebook and your writing habit will be linked.
Physical books are heavy, take up lots of space, and they are not necessarily convenient. I've filled 3 Ikea bookshelves in 2 years, and new books show up at my apartment every few days. The only reason I wish I had a bigger apartment was so I could have a room just for my books.
If you've read this far down the page, ask yourself how much you remember. Better yet, see if you can recall anything significant from all the things you read on the internet this week.
Chances are it's not very much. When you read on a screen, you scan more than you read. Your eye movement follows what is known as an F-pattern. The inevitable result of scanning is that you move from deep reading to shallow browsing.
In a world, where we are inundated with digital input, texts, notifications, pings, buzzes, pops, and more, going analog isn't just a productivity hack. It's a form of meditation and mindfulness. Reading physical books and writing by hand are two of the best available methods we have today to reduce the impact sources of distraction that we have in our lives.

New Worlds is a project that showcases the core of American values in literature and music. Noted actor Bill Murray teams up with distinguished German cellist Jan Vogler, alongside violinist Mira Wang and pianist Vanessa Perez, to present a spirited evening of music and literature.
In this rare live appearance, Murray – as both singer and narrator – brings his charm and wit to songs by Foster, Gershwin, Mancini, and Bernstein, as well as readings of classic American poetry and prose in dialogue with Vogler's singing Stradivari cello. The Hollywood-A-lister and virtuosic cellist perform a program that celebrates Murray's love for classical music and the strong artistic voices that have influenced generations of artists. Murray will read Hemingway, Capote and Mark Twain, dance a tango, and sing on the Center's stage. Works by Bach, Piazzolla, Ravel and Bernstein complete an evening where music and literature meet in a kaleidoscope of words and notes.

When a loved one is hospitalized, a hospital floral delivery is one of the most encouraging and uplifting gifts you can give. Flowers brighten their room and serve as a constant reminder of how much you care. Flowers have even been shown in studies to bring about a positive mood. So your gift could be just what the doctor ordered! With Teleflora, sending flowers to a hospital is easy, even if you're thousands of miles away. Our local florists are experienced in making these very special deliveries and know the protocol for each neighborhood hospital.
Keep in mind that some areas of the hospital, such as the Intensive Care Unit, do not accept floral deliveries due to possible plant or pollen allergies. In this case, consider sending the bouquet to the recipient's home when they are released.
When placing your order online, make sure to specify the name of the medical center and room number where your loved one is a patient. If you are unsure of the room number, our florist will attempt to call the patient visitor information desk to check for you but, if the patient is registered as a non-disclosure or no information patient, and you do not know the room number, the hospital staff cannot confirm that they are a patient at the hospital and will refuse the delivery. That is why it is important to know the hospital room number before you place your order. The florist can then deliver your gift to the Patient Visitor Information Desk and a volunteer will take it up to the room.
We will email you a delivery confirmation so that you can be sure the bouquet was received. In the event that your loved one checks out of the hospital early, the local florist will call you to ask for an alternate delivery address so that they can enjoy your gift at home. Below are some of our suggestions on the most beautiful hospital floral deliveries, you can also browse our Get Well Gift Guide for more ideas. Here's to a speedy recovery!
When sending flowers to someone who is recovering from surgery, the brighter the better. Your bouquet will serve as a cheerful reminder of your love for them. A gorgeous, multicolored bouquet is bound to lift their spirits and catch their eye. Wondrous Wishes by Teleflora with Orange Roses is a great choice. The hot pink gerberas and unexpected orange roses will wow them!
One of our classic feel-good arrangements is our Be Happy® Bouquet in a Mug. This assortment of white and yellow daisies and yellow roses is bursting out of our signature Be Happy mug! They will love the flowers during their hospital stay and can use the mug to sip tea with honey at home during recovery.
Is there a doctor in the house?! My Little Chickadee by Teleflora includes a cute ceramic chick sending a hug to help them feel better. Why not add a balloon to this adorable gift? .
For safety reasons, latex balloons are not allowed in hospitals but Mylar balloons are acceptable. Hospital volunteers deliver these items daily to patient rooms. Balloons are a great touch because they stand out on a bedside table or even across the hospital room. They're great for patients with poor eyesight because they make your arrangement larger and can be enjoyed from a distance. You can add Mylar balloons to any Teleflora bouquet to make your gift even bigger and better.
Just because they're allergic to flowers or pollen doesn't mean they can't enjoy a special delivery to cheer them up. Teleflora's Good Luck Bamboo plant makes a great gift for patients who suffer from allergies or can't have cut flowers in their room. Of course, green plants like bamboo have an added bonus: they can be enjoyed for months after the initial delivery! When your recipient gets out of the hospital, they will love this chic plant on their desk at work.
Send him a truckload of well wishes!
This '48 Ford Pickup is the perfect pick-me-up! This gift is a great choice for the man in your life who's feeling a bit under the weather. An assortment of colorful flowers fill the bed of this miniature truck, a keepsake he'll enjoy long after the flowers are gone. Teleflora's '48 Ford Pickup Bouquet is a favorite for dads, uncles or husbands.

Q: How to Implement a Master Controller and/or Bootstrapper in AngularJS? If I wanted to implement a function/object which represented a higher level of control in the AngularJS world, i.e. NOT reactive control to events (which are aptly handled by AngularJS 'controllers'), what is the best way to implement this in AngularJS?
Would it be a service?
Typical functions might include:

*

*Loading of Data to be reused by multiple views

*Verification of remote services availability

*Error Recovery & Application re-initialization

*Interrupt an existing operation (e.g. a remote data load)

--AngularJS-Architect-in-Training

A: Yes.. these are all examples of what you'll do inside of services.
Later you just inject them to controllers and use $scope.$watch to listen to changes they hold, or subscribe to events, whichever method you prefer...
For bootstrapping you can use -
angular.module("myApp, []).run(function(..deps..){ ..run content.. })

Sweet Bush Dog Mom Tends to Litter of 6 Puppies at England's Chester Zoo
11:57 AM PDT, July 6, 2018 - Inside Edition Staff
Playing How This Mama Bush Dog Takes Care of Her Record-Breaking Litter
Mom Mana has her paws full at the Chester Zoo in Cheshire, England.
The bush dog gave birth to a litter of six puppies back in May, the largest ever born at the zoo.
"Mana is doing a wonderful job of caring for her new pups," Tim Rowlands, curator of mammals at the zoo, said in a press release. "We've seen fairly big litters of four or five pups born in the past, but never have we had a litter of six. It's an incredibly exciting time for the keepers, as well as our pack of bush dogs, which is now 16 strong."
The litter, which is made up of two males and four females, only recently began venturing out to play after spending their first few weeks of life inside their den with their mother.
"Once the pups are confident enough to stay out of their den for extended periods of time, they'll each be weighed, sexed and microchipped," said Rowlands. "This data helps us monitor their progress and coordinate the endangered species breeding program, which is working to boost their numbers in zoos around the world."
Bush dogs face a number of threats in the wild, according to Rowlands, including deforestation, poaching and disease.
"With such a multitude of threats putting their existence at risk — these six pups are very, very special," he said.

Review HPOCRISY 'Worship'
Peter Tägtgren's is a guy who certainly has limited time. Being involved in many bands and project, being a composer as well as well-known and respected producer doesn't lead to many blank spots in Tägtgren's agenda. This one reason why the waiting time for a new album of Tägtgren's flagship Hypocrisy took a while.
'End of Disclosure' was unveiled in 2013 and it was the first single 'Children of the Gray' that ended a long time without new material from the Swedish death metal veterans. The song itself is a good ambassador for the album, showing the variety of sounds that are all rooted in Swedish death metal from the '90s. The slow and calmer beginning of the songs, the powerful riff and the moderate pace put groove into forefront. In a way the song combines a lot of elements, the album stands for musically.
The pole position belongs to the title track 'Worship'. An acoustic intro creates an atmosphere of distraction, awaiting the massive break. It's not the immediate break that creates the blast. The song is a three-level rocket that ignites its final power tank halfway. What benefits the new album is the fact that Mikael Hedlund and Reidar "Horgh" Horghagen are again on board which means that the vibe from the earlier releases was found rather quickly and benefits the eleven tracks on the album.
What makes 'Worship' to a good death metal record are the variations while still sticking to the trademarks of the band- Tägtgren and bandmates keep songs like 'Chemical Whore' in a slower pace and still the song unfolds the heaviness that is expected from bands like Hypocrisy. Also not being shy of a melody the trio creates an irresistible atmosphere with songs like the slowly crawling 'Bug in the Net'.
The gates to hell are opened by tunes like the thundering 'They Will Arrive'. Also to mention is the dark and gloomy 'Greedy Bastards'. Greed and control, that is the main theme the song is built upon lyrically and Hypocrisy translates the message perfectly into slow riffs with immense impact. Simplicity and a certain catchiness are what makes the song to a highlight on the album, a track that blossoms in black right away.
'Worship' was worth the wait. The album became a matter of heart and not just an in-between release. Hypocrisy stay true to themselves and their roots while on the other hand also being capable of develop their sound and trademarks. Good stuff for your ears.

Metta World Peace: From locker room to boardroom
Ethan Miller
Butter Cloth/TieBreaker illustration
Metta World Peace certainly had one of the more colorful careers in the NBA. While the player formerly known as Ron Artest will likely always be remembered for his role in the "Malice at the Palace" brawl in 2004, his story is one of redemption. World Peace actually befriended the fan that threw a water bottle at him and later won a championship with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2010. After retiring, he appeared in Ice Cube's BIG3 basketball challenge and works with the Lakers as a player development coach.
Now, World Peace is setting his sights on a new challenge: being an entrepreneur through his Artest Management Group company. His first product is XvsX Sports, which can best be described as the Airbnb of pickup basketball games. World Peace created the platform alongside a slew of tech entrepreneurs and fellow NBA players Al Harrington, Nick Young, Chris Copeland, Jermaine O'Neal, and Stephen Jackson.
Using a subscription model, XvsX Sports offers on-demand, competitive open runs for all levels of players, including professionals, semi-pros, competitive, and recreational players. That last demographic may prove to be the most important of all — with 23 million Americans fitting the "recreational" bill, it's a great opportunity for growth.
The initial early access beta launch will roll out in the Los Angeles area, with additional cities throughout the United States joining the game after that. Players can meet others at their skill level, build up points, and participate in showcase games.
"There's so many ways to get basketball to the consumer. Playing in the NBA for so many years, I'm used to playing a certain way — in front of people, getting paid, branding, endorsing," World Peace says. "When the NBA's gone, you don't have that system, the people, or the machine in place. You become irrelevant. With XvsX Sports, I'm trying to revolutionize the game for people like myself. We love basketball and still want to play at a high level."
It's not World Peace's first foray into business; he's also an adviser for Butter Cloth, a men's clothing company. In six months, the brand did $500,000 in sales. After an appearance on Shark Tank last October, which saw the company secure a deal with Robert Herjavec, Butter Cloth has now made more than $4.5 million.
As he moves into his second career, World Peace has learned three key lessons along the way.
Build a strong team and culture
The need to develop a strong culture is paramount for World Peace. He acknowledges building that culture can take time, and it can be frustrating to invest so much in overhead, particularly if you don't have a lot of excess capital. But getting that foundation in place — especially when that team knows how the business should operate because they're so heavily invested — will pay off in the long run.
"Culture and teamwork are the biggest things. You need to have a place where you trust your co-founders. Some people try to do everything on their own," he says. "There are so many different types of entrepreneurs. Some have the background to operate or design, others are more focused on business. Building that team around you is super important."

Creating XvsX Sports has presented several challenges, too. World Peace and his team have worked on obstacles like gaining market share, the logistics of setting up games across gyms, and developing customer personas while identifying which ones to target first.
"It's a lot. I've been doing this for about four years, and you need a lot," he says. "You need data scientists, chief revenue officers to figure out where the best locations will be at. You need digital marketing, you need to acquire players — you have to tell them why they should play on your platform. It's not as easy as you would think it is to find games for people. There's a lot that goes into it. It's challenging but it's also fun."
World Peace credits the strength of his team with keeping things running smoothly. And developing a basketball product is the right move for him, as he's following his passion.
Invest in what you know and believe in
With a pro career spanning nearly 20 years, World Peace knows the game of basketball inside and out. He's identified a problem area within the sport — an overabundance of players and unused courts, plus a strong desire for people to find quality competition. World Peace believes XvsX Sports can change how we view and play basketball.
"This will be like how fantasy sports revolutionized things," he says. "We're hoping to create a marketplace in the next year or two that will offer people a new type of playing experience. Whether you want to just have fun, or in case you've never played in college or professionally, we want to be the platform."
Similarly, World Peace's involvement with Butter Cloth stemmed from a chance fashion show while he was studying new trends in the advertising space. And once again, the passion for the product shone through.
"I was at (Los Angeles ad agency) MuteSix, learning about integrated and programmatic marketing," World Peace says. "They told me, 'Hey, put this shirt on.' I put the shirt on and I melted from the love."
It was love at first sight (or wear, in this case). And World Peace saw an opportunity because of how the shirt fit into his day-to-day schedule. He believes in products that he can actually use and benefit from.
"Business attire is not comfortable. I'd be at an investment meeting and be too hot, sweating under my armpits. This shirt made me feel different because I could actually add a business suit and be very comfortable."
World Peace's involvement with Butter Cloth has also enlightened him on running his own business.
Butter Cloth
Learn from your experiences
When Butter Cloth founder Danh Tran appeared on Shark Tank to pitch his company, he had an assist from World Peace, who made a cameo as the "in-house long-fiber cotton scientist." A dunk while wearing a Butter Cloth shirt may have been a selling point for investor Robert Herjavec, but World Peace took the whole experience as a learning opportunity.
"The whole process taught me a lot about business and running a company. There's a lot of number crunching, a lot that goes into it," he says. "We went on the show and got a lot of returning customers. They don't buy just one shirt. They buy 15 different shirts, which is amazing."
Perhaps World Peace sees some of himself in Tran, as well. The Butter Cloth founder has also had a colorful career, with an ultimate tale of perseverance.
Tran grew up working in his family's small tailor shop in Vietnam and was designing clothes by age 10. His family emigrated to the U.S., where he took fashion classes at a California college and landed a job at Mattel, designing clothes for Barbie.
He eventually enrolled at the Otis College of Art and Design, his dream school. Tran was recruited by several companies, landing at Affliction Clothing. He served as the company's head designer for ten years before making a huge decision: He quit his job, sold his house, and cashed in his 401(k) to start Butter Cloth, going all-in on following his dream.
Tran's story was instrumental for World Peace and is part of the reason he's involved with the company. If World Peace has his way, his business book will follow a similar arc of success.
"Danh built Butter Cloth up from nothing, and it shows the confidence he has in his abilities. I want to be somebody like that as an entrepreneur."

Q:  not working in actionscript In my flash 4.6 Air project, I have several thousands of html files in assets folder which are generated from some other software. Some html files having images.
Now to secure the html files I encrypt all of them. But when I decrypt them to a string and load to  via:
html.htmlLoader.loadString(decryptedString.toString());

or
html.htmlText = decryptedString.toString();

The images are not showing and a blank bordered box is showing with ALT text. These html files have javascript() and it is working.
The content of ("samople.htm") html file is like:

Some Text

Some Text

To check the working When I load html by:
html.location = "/assets/sample/sample.htm";

Then it is showing the image. But when I use string by:
html.htmlText = '
some text

some text
';

Then it is not showing image. I have tried to change from src="../assets/ . . ." to src="./assets/ . . ." or src="/assets/ . . ." or src="assets/ . . ."
My motto is to secure the html files in assets folder. Currently I can encrypt/decrypt them all but images are not showing.

A: Zeus rightly said htmlText property does not fully support mainly for security reasons in AIR. So when we place html contents through string the container is not in Application Sandbox (default value: false). But if you are sure that the external contents in html string are trusted then you have to set htmlLoader.placeLoadStringContentInApplicationSandbox to true.

A: If you use a http debugger (in firebug/chrome debugger, use the 'net' tab), you can check out from which folder Flash is trying to load the images.
Probably its related to the .swf file location, not to the loaded html file.

A: HtmlText for the air with <img tags wont work, no matter what. Adobe air will ignore all the  spark textflow component. There are utilities to convert the htmltext into text flow format text and display it in the textflow supported componenents.


Bob's father teaches at a girls' school. You'll be told when you can go. Cecilia met Ariel this morning on his way to school. It must have been terrible. I felt very sorry that I had put them to so much trouble. A cart with four horses is not able to overtake the human tongue. That tragedy was etched in my mind. Larry had three sons. She was so dreamy that no one dared to approach her. Why did Teruyuki agree to help Gregor?
He's not the right man for this job. Can you read it to me? We woke up very early in order to see the sunrise. What made Bill decide to be an engineer? Those are sunflowers. Love is strong, but money is stronger. There was broken glass all over the floor. Jisheng can't get in touch with Norm. Ian is dusting. Some rich people and corporations don't pay their fair share in taxes.
You've got to fight that tendency of yours. His words hurt Meg. We're pretty proud of ourselves. I as well as you am to blame. Do you love me just because I resemble Connie Nielsen? I'll keep my eyes shut. In this country the average number of children per family fell from 2 to 1.5. I'm used to this cold weather. Don't tell Father about this. I doubt whether it is true or not.
Rakhal scratched his name off the list. I don't want to go near Rich. I left home early because I didn't want to miss the train. The policemen gave chase to Dan. I can't see you today because I feel ill. I'm afraid this data is not reliable. Will you please stop talking about food? I'm predicting big things for Anita. I was afraid Anderson might get hurt. I'll sleep here.
Tracey doesn't understand a thing. We thought their shop was a failure, but now they've gotten out from under and even expanded. May I call around 2:30? Roger Miller was born on January 2, 1936 in the western city of Fort Worth, Texas. This was easy. I don't care how poor you are. They finally acknowledged it as true. Your wallet is on the television set. I was able to turn the tables on her easy. We're about the same height.
I will not attend the party. I'm very pleased to meet you. We hear the church bell from here. I still have friends in the CIA. I frequently think about my mother who passed away. All day long today I have been waiting impatiently for you. Johnny can't believe Sharada really believes that. He curled his lip in a sneer. I'll call first. From a distance, the small island looked like a turtle.
The weakest go to the wall. You'll be safe. Saify is working at this company now, isn't he? Vilhelm's chest is rattly because of a respiratory tract infection. Shutoku may have left for Boston already. I knew you wouldn't pass the test. We have reason to be upset. How long will the procedure take? Get out of there. Is it certain that he will help us?
How did you figure it out? Adolescents often quarrel with their parents. The pronunciation is as follows: I wish you the same. My father went to China. What do you have to do now? I don't want to run such a risk. We give here a list of the usual Esperanto-related questions. A dog is sitting on the carpet. They are seeking a solution.
I discouraged my sister from going out with the leader of the pack. When did you get to Kyoto? That seems terribly unrealistic. I'm skeptical when I hear someone claim to speak more than five languages fluently. You need to wear a tie there. He won eminence as a scientist. And is not the bodily pain which follows every excess a manifest declaration of the divine will? You don't give up too easily, do you? Jesse is twice as old as I am. The fire consumed the whole house.

Production of hydraulic excavators and medium-wheel loaders began at Caterpillar's Gosselies plant in 1965. At 100 hectares, this was the biggest industrial site in Wallonia, Belgium's southern region and was home to the headquarters of Caterpillar Belgium. By 1967, Caterpillar workers produced 40 machines a month, from diesel engines to industrial equipment. In 1972, a new assembly hall covering eight hectares was added. In 2000, the plant started to make its first electric motors for industrial equipment. Some 97 percent of the output of the plant was exported to the world market, until 2013 when management limited it to the European Union. In later years the facility concentrated on the manufacture only of components rather than full-scale assembly. The factory closed in 2016 with the loss of 2,000 jobs, and manufacturing was shifted to existing plants in other countries.


How do you tell whether you need luck or skill?
If you can influence an outcome by working harder, that's skill.
If you can't lose on purpose, that's luck.
For both, the only factor you can control is how hard you work.
The harder you work, the luckier and more skilful you'll get.


he ongoing train wreck that has become Community Living B.C. is, perhaps more than any other area of government, threatening to shred Premier Christy Clark's so-called "families first" agenda of all credibility.
The families that depend on CLBC for badly needed support can be forgiven if they fail to see any point in a government bragging about putting families first in any way, shape or form. The six-year-old organization - created to help adults with developmental disabilities - is now in full crisis mode, as near-daily revelations of insensitive treatment, service cuts or sheer incompetence have badly tarnished the public's trust in CLBC.
It has also become nearimpossible for the government to provide any credible response to calls for an independent inquiry of CLBC's operations, other than acceding to such an inquiry immediately.
Currently, only an internal review is occurring. The problem with internal reviews is that they don't necessarily challenge decisions that have been made or question the value of policies that are set in stone.
And many of CLBC's problems seem to stem from poor decision-making and policies that were poorly thought out.
They also flow from a severe budget problem. The case load is growing at a much faster clip than funding levels are, so it's not hard to see that problems are going to continue to mount if funding isn't increased significantly.
The waitlist for services is already at around 2,800, and that doesn't include families who have simply given up waiting for CLBC to do anything for them.
Faced with mounting budget pressures, CLBC has been squeezing its own clients. Group homes are being closed (some for good reason, no doubt) but parents are being left in the dark about care plans for their children in the system.
Some adults are being pushed into home-share arrangements, which are a cheaper alternative to group homes. But evidence has surfaced that suggests a serious lack of training and oversight is plaguing some of those home shares. There have been allegations of bullying by CLBC staff, conflict-of-interest among service providers, and the rewriting of internal reports to cover up budget concerns.
In other words, it's a complete mess.
cost the former CEO his job and forced the cabinet minister responsible to be dumped from his post. In retrospect, it seems the former minister - Harry Bloy - may not deserve all the criticism directed his way at the time.
Bloy was simply dealt a very bad hand by his own people. CLBC has been a time bomb waiting to explode, and unfortunately for Bloy, the pin was pulled when he was given the job.
The CLBC brass no doubt is thinking this month-long round of negative media coverage has peaked, but their troubles may only be starting, although this may be a good thing.
Mary-Ellen Turpel-Lafond, the province's independent advocate for children, now wants to widen her office's scope to include 19-to 24-yearolds. Such a proposal would put the tenacious Turpel-Lafond squarely in the midst of many CLBC activities, as she would have the power to go in and independently assess whether CLBC was doing adequate work or not when it came to those young adults.
Her argument for extended powers is being supported by Ted Hughes, who can single-handedly stare down any government when it comes to social policies.
Hughes and Turpel-Lafond together are not a team I would suggest the B.C. Liberals take on as adversaries, unless they want their collective noses badly bloodied.
In fact, perhaps this is just what CLBC needs. Allowing someone like Turpel-Lafond to peel back the curtains and make her own assessment could be the start of a top-to-bottom makeover of a social agency that has so badly lost its way.
Public trust in CLBC has been seriously eroded and only external and independent forces stand any chance of regaining any notion of confidence. An independent review seems the only viable alternative.
However, if CLBC continues on adrift and unchecked, and if improvements aren't forthcoming quickly, the premier should quietly end any further talk of a "families first" agenda.
When a government is actually hurting families through its policies, pretending those families actually come "first" in any fashion rings rather hollow.

Following any death, there is a natural wish to pay tribute to the person who has died. After a suspected suicide, there's a need for careful planning and management of any memorial.
It is important to acknowledge the desire for the memorial but also to recognise the potential risk of glamorising or sensationalising a death rumoured or known to be by suicide.
Some people will want leave flowers, messages or other mementos. The university can take partial control of this by choosing the place where a memorial is sited. Placement of any flowers or memorials needs careful consideration. Temporary memorials should not be placed at the location of the death or in a place that is very public.
Samaritans' Step by Step service can provide further support and information about memorials.
Institutions cannot control online memorials and other social networking activity following a suspected suicide.
However, staff and students should be warned about the risks of inappropriate messages, warning signs to look out for, what to do if you are concerned with a post or message, and the benefits of online memorials.
Guidance on responding to suicidal content online can be found here.
