"Wille Vooruitsigte" (Wild Prospects) said winemaker Conrad Vlok, when I spoke to him recently about the runaway success of their First Sighting Sauvignon Blanc, of which the 2017 vintage received a 97 Point Decanter rating and Platinum Medal.
For the record, I had been touting this wine to anyone who would listen way before its stellar ratings had been awarded - but you know, no-one listens to me.
Vlok talks easily, comfortably expressive in Afrikaans, humble, hardworking, passionate. I liked him instantly, even though we were only able to speak via Skype and my camera wasn't working. I was therefore left to judge only by the texture of his voice and the turn of his phrases, which painted the picture in my mind so vividly, I felt like I was sitting at Strandveld, hands in the soil watching the story unfold. Vlok is Strandveld's first winemaker, he's been there for 15 years, going on 16. Strandveld vineyards is owned by two entities, Rietfontein Trust (30%) and Strandveld Vineyards (70%), which is made up of a number of stockholders. When asked how this diverse group of people found each other, nevermind decided to start a winefarm together, Vlok answers candidly: "Wyn is mos 'n wonderlike ding." (Wine is a wonderful thing.) It was the wine that brought them together, and the excitement of a previously unexplored wine region that lit the fire. Vlok goes on to talk about the romantic ideal of making wine, with a man that pulls-up a "gewillige spreadsheet" (a willing spreadsheet) with incredible prospects, belying the great effort required to attain such lofty heights. Making wine at the most Southern-tip of Africa is a job for an adventurer. When I ask him what he did in his previous life, I imagine him smirking with a mischievous glint in his eye, as he says "seerower" (pirate). Conrad has a passion for sea kayaking, and in his previous life practiced this hobby all over Southern Africa - hence the "seerower" reference. After that he did stints at Delheim and Darling Cellars, among others, working under Spatz Sperling and AB Beukes. He became aware of the Elim ward only when Dirk Human (a family friend and owner of the Black Oystercatcher) started planting vines in 1998. Meaning that when the opportunity came along to make wines from Elim vines, he was well acquainted with the place and rearing to go. Though I think the wildness of it was the thing that attracted him most. You see the most Southern point of Africa has gone down in history as one of the most treacherous places to circumvent by sea, the wind being one of its biggest detractors, and yet, the WIND is one of its biggest advantages to maritime winemakers like Conrad.
The god of wind and storm is named Adamastor, so called by 16th Century Portuguese poet Luis Camões. The Portuguese conquistadors had such a terrible time rounding the Cape of Good Hope, they had to ascribe it to some furious god, or banished Titan as it turns out.
The Spirit of the Cape (Adamastor) is said to have been a Titan, who had been banished to the Cape of Good Hope for falling in love with a nymph, he was turned into the jagged mountain at the Southern-most tip of Africa and still rages at this confinement. Strandveld's white Bordeaux blend of 54% Sauvignon and 46% Semillon is named for this captive Titan, as these cool climate varietals benefit so much from his rage. The wind that often blows over this vineyard ensures cooling, which combined with the maritime conditions and poor soils, lightly wooded, ensures a beautiful expression.
Similarly, the Anders Sparrman Pinot Noir is named for a Swedish adventurer and naturalist who traveled to the Cape of Good Hope in 1772 and accompanied James Cook on his journey to the Antarctic. He returned to Cape Town in 1775 to practice medicine and journey into the interior, writing books about his travels and findings. His careful documentation of Africa is mimicked in this Pinot Noir, as it is the result of careful observation over the past 10 years to ascertain what clone would best perform in this maritime climate. Hence the theme of discovery, adventure and a firm love of this young winemaking region is etched out in each wine. The Pofadderbos Sauvignon Blanc is one of Vlok's favourite wines, named for the Pofadder who bit the seemingly immortal German Schnauzer, Pepper, and lived in that particular bush (sidenote: said bite did not prove to be Pepper's final hour).
Elim means 'Place of God', most probably named by the Moravian missionaries who established the town in 1824. Today Elim is a ward within the Agulhas district made up of 4 producers and 10 brands, with winemaking only re-established there in 1997 (The Moravians while being staunch advocates of sobriety, still required sacramental wine). Conrad speaks of these producers as his familiars, a community of farmers first, then winemakers. The four main producers (The Berrio, Black Oystercatcher, Zoetendal and Strandveld) have established themselves as the Elim Winegrowers and have undertaken the Nuwejaars Wetland Special Management Area Initiative in an effort to preserve the very unique fauna and flora of the Agulhas coastal plains, some listed on the Red Data endangered list. The Skaamgesiggie (Shy Face) Protea Pudens being one of these, a very rare Protea only to be found in the Elim ward, said to be shy because it faces down and the name of Conrad's Pinot Noir Brut Methodé Cap Classique - though Conrad jokingly says it's named for the Skaamgesiggie you make when drinking too MUCH Skaamgesiggie. Strandveld sits 9km from the ocean, between Elim and Agulhas, and is the most Southerly of all its peers, bearing the full brunt of Adamastor. When asked about how the drought affected them, Conrad brushes it off, saying that while they didn't suffer from the drought, they did suffer from various unusual weather patterns in 2017. Ice rain in Spring, a hail storm in November, and unusually moderate, cool and dry weather to round it off. From which I surmise that the surviving fruit must be the very epitome of its sort and am therefore getting my fill of the 2018 vintage wines now. When asked about the proverbial grapevine in Elim, and how each farmer assists the other, Vlok mentions something very true: "Elke mens se hand is uniek." (Every person's hand is unique.) Making one think that a trip to Elim might very well be a good idea somewhere in the near future.
At the end of the day, what struck me about Conrad was the inevitability of what he does. He speaks of the wine, the place, the methods, the weather as if they were all, always meant to be, as if there was never any alternative than their having become what they are. A seerower having found his place on land.

Six suspects identified in known package thefts
by Amy Nilson	,	December 22, 2016
Amanda Matsuo
SANTA CLARA COUNTY — The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office has announced the arrest of six individuals found to have stolen multiple gifts and packages worth thousands of dollars from residences located in Cupertino and Saratoga.
Since December 1, 2016, the West Valley Patrol Division has arrested six individuals who have been identified as having stolen multiple residential mail packages.
James Maybin
According to Sergeant Rich Glennon, "James Maybin of Boulder Creek, age 34, was arrested after fleeing in a stolen vehicle in Cupertino." During an investigation into the stolen car, Maybin and a known accomplice were identified as having broken into a local Cupertino UPS storage facility.
The duo stole shipping packages from the store before they were to be delivered to local residences. The stolen vehicle was found to be completely full of the stolen packages. Glennon said, "The Sheriff's Office was able to quickly return the packages back to UPS so the packages could be delivered in a timely manner for the holidays."
A second suspect wanted for package theft out of Saratoga was identified as 21-year-old Jordan Del Campo of San Jose. Del Campo was located in Saratoga and arrested for package theft. Items found in his possession included tickets for a Disney Christmas vacation, DVDs of children's films, and diamond earrings.
Items confiscated
A third and fourth suspect, 44-year-old Ronald Martinez and 43-year-old Dolores Mestaz of San Jose, were arrested for package theft. According to Glennon, "A residential security camera caught their Cupertino theft." Santa Clara County Deputies were able to identify the two suspect by reading the license plate of their vehicle from nearby security footage.
During the arrest of the couple, Santa Clara County Deputies were able to recover a total of ten packages containing children's books and children's clothing. It is suspected that the pair may also have been in other areas collecting stolen packages without the residence being aware of the theft. Investigation into the theft is ongoing.
Marcos Cruz
A fifth and sixth suspect, 23-year-old Amanda Matsuo of San Jose and 26-year-old Marcos Cruz of Sacramento, were arrested while in the possession of multiple stolen packages that included women's clothing and power tools. The pair was arrested by Sheriff's Deputies after multiple residence reported seeing the pair stealing their packages.
If you have information on any package theft cases, please contact the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office Detective Division at (408) 808-4500 or the anonymous tip line at (408) 808-4431.
If you see someone casing your neighborhood, report suspicious activity to the Sheriff's Office dispatch line at (408) 299-2311.

When it comes to value for money, several of the big brands stepped up to the plate this year with updated entry-level and mid-price models bristling with features that have trickled down from their premium-priced instruments. Gretsch is conspicuous for having two guitars shortlisted, but it was impossible to resist as the company revamped its Electromatic line and created a whole new, ludicrously affordable and highly modifiable range in the shape of the Streamliner series.
After Gretsch wowed us with its brilliant entry-level Streamliner series earlier this year, the only way was up for the revamped mid-priced Electromatic line, and what a guitar this fully-hollow G5420T is.
The build quality impressed us enormously for a guitar in this price bracket, delivering old-school Gretsch aesthetics and silky modern playability.
The Blacktop Filter'Trons sound just as those pickups should – providing that undeniable whiff of twangy authenticity, but with a little added bark and grit. It's a serious Gretsch at an affordable price, which also provides oodles of customisation potential.
There's never been a better time to buy a new Gretsch, and this Fairlane Blue beauty stole the hearts of everyone at G&B in 2016.
Far from being just for metalheads, this affordable baritone from PRS proved it was no one-trick pony when it arrived in the G&B office last winter.
With the Korean-made SE Mushok model having run its course, Doug Shive, the head honcho of PRS's SE division, decided that it was time for an update to bring the brand's baritone offering into line with the rest of the SE stable.
The level of fit and finish here is extraordinarily good for the money, and the Wide Fat neck shape makes this an easy, stable player with carefully chosen PRS SE Soapbar pickups.
The bite of P-90s, combined with a little additional air from the semi-solid construction, add up to what is a hugely versatile proposition for everything from retro twang to modern alt-rock.
Increasing numbers of hip modern-day experimentalists and indie noiseniks turned to Fender's less mainstream designs for inspiration in 2016, with the likes of the Jaguar, Jazzmaster and Mustang enjoying a second renaissance.
It was a smart move, therefore, when Fender launched a slew of cool new models at made-in-Mexico prices at the tail end of 2016. The Duo-Sonic HS was our pick of the bunch.
Its cool-looking body shape mirrors the model's original 1956 outline, the build quality is great for the price, it delivers a wide range of brash sounds from its Duo-Sonic humbucking and single-coil pickups and old-school fans of the Seattle sound will absolutely love it.
It's more robust than vintage examples, too. A whole lot of guitar for the money.
Revealed at Summer NAMM in Nashville, the Deluxe Strat HSS is part of a new-for-2016, Mexican-made Deluxe range, a sort of 'little brother' to Fender's high-end American Elite Series – but it certainly doesn't feel like a low-spec option.
With Vintage Noiseless single-coil pickups, a modern bridge, locking tuners with vintage-style buttons, 12-inch fingerboard radii, 'Tall Narrow' frets, contoured heel, 'enhanced' electronics, and pearloid dots, it's a full feature set for the price.
We were impressed by the HSS' versatile range of single-coil and humbucking tones, too.
All in all, it's an excellent contemporary Stratocaster for the gigging player who needs to cover a variety of bases.
"A real Gretsch for less than £400?" asked the cover line of our March issue, somewhat incredulously, following the release of Gretsch's updated pocket-money Streamliner Collection. And, yes, it was true.
In fact, any of the three guitars we reviewed from the series could have made our Gear Of The Year shortlist, but it was the G2655T that stood out.
Its stylish classic Gretsch double-cut outline, pair of Broad'Tron pickups that sit somewhere between a Filter'Tron and PAF-style humbucker, B50 Bigsby, easy playability and versatile range of tones had us checking the price tag twice and then reaching for our wallets.
When you factor in the potential for modding, too, it's a price too good to ignore.

Want to Elect More Women? These Groups Are on a Mission.
- 10/26/2018 -
Subscribe to SheReports
SheReports highlights eight organizations you need to know.
The world of politics hasn't traditionally been very inclusive, but a cadre of organizations is seeking to change that. Here are eight groups engaging women to become more active in political life, including seeking elected office.
Who They Are: A New York-based political action committee started in 1985 to elect pro-choice Democratic women to national, state and local office. "EMILY" was an acronym for "Early Money Is Like Yeast" (i.e., it makes the dough rise), which relates to a concept in political fundraising by which big donations received early on in a race encourage more donations later. EMILY's List has raised more than $500 million.
What's New: They expect to spend over $37 million this election cycle, including the $14 million already spent in the Democratic primaries.
Maggie's List
Who They Are: A federal political action committee (PAC), started in 2010, dedicated to electing fiscally conservative women to federal office and statewide executive office. In addition to financial support, Maggie's List provides training and get-out-the-vote programs.
What's New: For 2018, Maggie's List has given national endorsements supporting 49 women candidates.
Who They Are: A PAC — cofounded on January 20, 2017, by Hillary Clinton's email director — to help recruit and support young diverse progressives to run for down-ballot races with a goal of building a bench for the future. The candidates are connected over Slack so they can bounce ideas off one another and compare notes.
What's New: They are endorsing 24 candidates across the country, including those in local races such as the City Council in Phoenix and county commissioner in Kalamazoo.
Who They Are: The nonpartisan VoteRunLead trains women to run for office. With more than 33,000 women trained to run for office, VoteRunLead is the largest and most diverse campaign and leadership program in the country. They are on their way to training 30,000 more by 2020.
What's New: They partnered with WeWork to hold campaign training seminars at the company's locations nationwide.
Higher Heights for America
Who They Are: The only national organization providing black women with a political home exclusively dedicated to harnessing their power to elect black women, influence elections and advance progressive policies. Higher Heights for America, a 501(c)(4), and sister organization Higher Heights Leadership Fund, a national 501(c)(3) organization, are building the political power and leadership of black women.
What's New: In September, Higher Heights and the Brookings Institution released a significant new report, "Claiming Seats at the Table: Black Women's Electoral Strength in an Era of Fractured Politics."
Who They Are: She Should Run is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) founded to expand the talent pool of women running for office. They are focused on getting at least 250,000 women to run by 2030.
What's New: She Should Run's incubator supports 14,000 women with online resources as they consider public service. More than 130 incubator members are on the ballot in 2018.
Who They Are: A nonpartisan organization focused on preparing young women to run for office by building political ambition when they are forming their identities and aspirations. IGNITE has student-run college chapters all over the country that support political activism and high school programs in two states, and offers guidance to mothers to engage their daughters in political discussions.
What's New: IGNITE plans on training 10,000 young women during the 2018/2019 academic year. As part of this, they are offering a series of political leadership conferences in cities such as New York and Minneapolis.
Who They Are: The only national organization dedicated to elevating openly LGBTQ leaders to further equality at all levels of government. Each year, Victory Institute assists hundreds of people who go on to influential careers in politics, government, business and advocacy.
What's New: The Victory Institute recently released the "Out for America" report, which stated the need to elect 22,837 more LGBTQ officials to achieve equitable representation. There are currently only 559 known openly LGBTQ elected officials in the United States.

Two Minnesota doctors on the front lines of the opioid epidemic describe the telltale warning signs of addiction to prescription painkillers.
The latest numbers are sobering: On average, 91 people a day die from an opioid-related overdose, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Minnesota is far from immune to the pain pill problem. Health officials say prescribed drugs, such as oxycodone and hydrocodone, were responsible for most of the state's opioid-involved deaths last year.
While doctors and legislators are taking steps to address the situation, there's another critical line of defense: loved ones who can spot the telltale signs of opioid addiction.
"A lot of family members will say, 'Oh, gosh, looking back, yeah, I see it.' Because it happens so gradually and so insidiously typically," said Dr. W. Michael Hooten, professor of anesthesiology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester and an expert in pain medicine.
This can take several different forms, Hooten said. Some people may become very concerned or focused on the timing of their medication. With others, a lot of their daily activities revolve around the time when they take their medicine. They'll make sure nothing will interfere with that time — even if that means skipping important events.
They also may pay a lot of attention to ensuring that their refills aren't threatened in any way. And some people will want to increase their dosage to treat their pain.
Small pupils, slowed speech and heavy, drooping eyelids are classic signs that someone is intoxicated from opioid use, the doctors say.
"Two things make your pupils small — sunlight and opioids," Reznikoff said.
The person also might have trouble processing complex information. "It doesn't knock down the IQ points, but it takes somebody twice as long to do something that they would have done very quickly before," Hooten said.
People who are extremely intoxicated from opioids will do something called "nodding off" — falling asleep while seated upright, Reznikoff said. "They'll maintain their posture but they'll fall asleep. They often fall asleep in the middle of their sentence. They'll just drift off and then they'll wake up and finish their sentence as if nothing's wrong," he said.
Families may notice people becoming increasingly withdrawn and secretive about how they're using the drug — much like alcoholics who will try to hide their booze, Hooten said.
When addicts are cut off from their supply of opioids, they go through withdrawal for a couple of days. Symptoms include diarrhea or vomiting, sweating, large pupils, and goose bumps.
Opioid users may swallow a pill. They may snort it. They may smoke it. Or they may inject it.
If they're smoking or injecting it, there will be a lot of paraphernalia around, Reznikoff said.

This Dangerous Movement Is Quickly Infiltrating the Church

Jonathan Cahn Releases His Latest Book: 'The Oracle' and 'Opens Up the Mystery of the Ages'
6:00AM EDT 9/6/2019	 Jonathan Cahn
The Oracle, he says, "will open up the mystery of the ages."
Jonathan Cahn, who caused a national stir with the release of his New York Times' bestseller The Harbinger, followed by bestsellers The Mystery of the Shemitah, The Book of Mysteries and The Paradigm, now releases his newest book, The Oracle.
"The Oracle is the biggest, most all-encompassing mystery I've ever committed to writing—in many ways it is the mystery of the ages. It contains everything and everyone, from Moses to Mark Twain, from the prophet Jeremiah to President Donald Trump. It's the mystery that lies behind the past, the present and what is yet to come. It contains what I believe is the master blueprint that explains the end times and what is taking place before our eyes in America and throughout the world. It even contains the mystery and blueprint for each of our lives," says Cahn.
"My last book, The Paradigm, came out two years ago," says Cahn. "The reason that it's been two years until The Oracle is that it involved so much revelation—literally 3,000 pages of notes. For two years, I've been blown away by the awesomeness of God in this mystery, His hand behind everything—world events, world leaders, the rise of America, the news cycles of our times, the actions of President Trump—everything taking place in the exact way and at the exact times as according to prophecies and mysteries in the Word of God."
One of those mysteries centers on the mystery of the Jubilee. The Jubilee was the year when those who had lost their land returned home. End-time prophecy is built on the return of the Jewish people to their ancient home, Israel. The amazing thing is that Israel's return and the most prophetic events of modern times have all taken place according to the mystery of the Jubilee. Its timing has determined everything, and thus even world wars and the rise and fall of nations—even the rise of America to world power.
Another mystery revealed in The Oracle is the Parasha mystery. This opens the ancient words appointed from ages past to be recited and chanted by the Jewish people throughout the world. The words are proclaimed every week on the Sabbath day. "What blew me away when I looked at world events is that at key prophetic times—when the appointed word is recited from the scrolls—events take place in the world that match up or are spoken of in the appointed word," says Cahn.
Cahn opens up other mysteries in The Oracle, including the following:
—"The Stranger": the man prophesied to come to the land of Israel as a sign preceding the return of the Jewish people.
—"The Jubilean Code": a mystery encoded in a 3,000-year ordinance that contained the exact year that the most important prophetic event in 2,000 years would take place—in the 20th century!
—The ancient mysteries that lie behind Donald Trump—his rise to the presidency, his actions, his decisions, his life itself—even the Scripture that was appointed and recited throughout the world on the day of his birth, and that reveals the mystery of his life.
—"The Dark Jubilee" explains exactly what is taking place in America and world culture.
—The mysteries of what the future holds—several of The Oracle's mysteries open up mysteries concerning what is yet to come and the end times.
And apparently much more ...
"With seven doors of revelation," Cahn says, "each one opening up several streams of mysteries, there was so much to reveal that the biggest challenge was how to fit this into one book."
The Oracle has garnered extraordinary praise. Television host Jim Bakker said, "After the Bible, The Oracle is the best book I have ever read in my life." Sid Roth of It's Supernatural! declared that as he read the book, the tangible presence of God came into the room.
It has also set records, breaking Amazon's top 100 books in the world a week and a half before it was even released—even breaking into the top 20.
The Oracle is published by FrontLine and is available wherever books are sold.
Jonathan Cahn is the author of The Harbinger, The Mystery of the Shemitah, The Book of Mysteries, The Paradigm and The Oracle. He is also the president of Hope of the World Ministries and leader of the Jerusalem Center in Wayne, New Jersey. To get in touch, receive prophetic dates, and free gifts, go to HopeOfTheWorld.org or find Jonathan Cahn on Facebook.

Serena, Venus Williams Lose In 1st Round Of U.S Open Doubles
The Williams sisters were eliminated by the Czech pair of Lucie Hradecka and Linda Noskova 7-6 (5), 6-4 at Flushing Meadows.
Frank Franklin II / AP
Article by AP
Serena and Venus Williams traded fist bumps or palm slaps and chatted between points. They smiled while conversing in their seats at changeovers.
When their first doubles match together in 4 1/2 years ended with a loss at the U.S. Open on Thursday night, the siblings hugged each other, then left the court to a standing ovation.
UPDATE: Serena Williams Loses To Tomljanovic In U.S. Open Farewell
Williams entered the night having won 19 times in a row in the U.S. Open's third round of singles competition.
"I was speechless when I found out I'm going to face these two. I mean, they're legends. And I was always such a big fan of them, especially Serena. She has been my idol since ever, probably," said Noskova, a 17-year-old making her Grand Slam debut in doubles. "So I was really happy, excited, but kind of scared, to face them."
Arthur Ashe Stadium had never hosted a first-round doubles match — for women or men, during the night or day — until this one featuring two members of one family who have combined to claim 14 Grand Slam titles in doubles.
"It's something incredible, because playing first round in a huge stadium, with 23,000 people, is something amazing," said the 37-year-old Hradecka, who won major doubles trophies with Andrea Hlavackova at the 2013 U.S. Open and 2011 French Open. "I don't think (when) we played the final here, it was packed like this."
The Williams sisters, who did not do interviews after the match, were partnering up for the first time since the 2018 French Open. According to the WTA, this was just their second first-round doubles defeat at a Slam; the only other one came all the way back at the 1997 U.S. Open.
"I'm still in shock that we won," Hradecka said in an on-court interview right after the match's conclusion.
Speaking to the sellout crowd of 23,859, she said: "I'm so sorry for you that we beat them, but we are so happy that we did it."
The fans were not nearly as boisterous as they were for each of the two victories in singles this week for Serena, who has hinted that this will be the final event of her career.
Serena plays Ajla Tomljanovic on Friday night in the third round of singles; Venus was bounced from that bracket in the first round.
After a rather subdued entrance from the locker room by Hradecka and Noskova, who were competing as a team for the first time, a video tribute to the Williams-Williams pairing played on the Ashe videoboards, with a narrator introducing "two of the greatest athletes on Planet Earth" and, in a reference to Serena's looming retirement, saying, "It's not too late to change your mind."
Serena Williams Says She Is 'Evolving Away From Tennis'
Williams said she doesn't like the word "retirement" and thinks of this as "evolving away from tennis, toward other things that are important to me."
There was footage of the sisters through the years, including as kids with white beads in their hair (like Serena's daughter, Olympia, wore on opening night) and, later, winning titles.
Olympia, who turned 5 on Thursday, was not there for this one, Serena's husband, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian was, as were the sisters' mother, Oracene Price, and their sister, Isha.
During the pre-match warmup, the announcer noted that the sisters are 14-0 in Grand Slam doubles finals and declared: "They've transformed and elevated the sport as we know it."
The spectators saved their biggest cheers for some of Serena's best efforts, whether aces or putaways or an on-the-run forehand winner. The sisters went up 5-4 early and held two set points there on Noskova's serve, but could not convert either.
The loudest moment probably arrived after a 19-stroke point won by the sisters during the first-set tiebreaker, featuring three swinging volleys by Serena. That put them ahead 4-3, and soon it was 5-3.
But Hradecka and Noskova grabbed the next four points to claim that set. They then jumped ahead 3-0 in the second, and after the Williams sisters made it 4-all, the Czech team pulled away.
The Williams siblings received a wild-card entry into this year's doubles field. Serena, who turns 41 next month, and Venus, who turned 42 in June, won doubles trophies at the U.S. Open in 1999 — the year Serena won her first major singles trophy at age 17 in New York — and 2009.
They have a total of 30 major trophies in singles: 23 for Serena, seven for Venus.
"Playing against the Williams sisters," Noskova said, "is a special moment for everybody."

SANTA FE — A proposal to keep the state's lottery scholarship fund solvent by asking students who qualify for the tuition scholarship at the state's research universities to pay as much as $3,600 per year out of pocket passed the House on Friday.
House members voted 46-17 in support of House Bill 309, sending the bill to the Senate.
The bill is intended to help the struggling lottery scholarship fund, which risks running out of money as college tuition rates have steadily increased while lottery revenues into the fund were flat. In 2012, for example, the lottery fund paid out more than $58 million in scholarships while receiving only $41 million in revenues.
House Bill 309, sponsored by Rep. James White, R-Albuquerque, would cut annual scholarship payouts by about $20 million by 2015. The bill would make the cuts by limiting the amount of tuition paid to the state's four-year colleges.
Under the bill, a University of New Mexico student on the scholarship would receive $2,400 per year from the scholarship fund that now pays UNM's full $6,000-a-year tuition. Students would have to pay the difference out of pocket or through student loans.
Students attending community colleges, where tuition is significantly lower, would continue to receive full tuition scholarships. White said the proposal is intended to help the state get more "bang for the buck" by encouraging students to attend lower-cost community colleges.
"We can put three, maybe four, students through a community college versus one through a research institution," White said.
White said his bill would provide additional scholarship money to students attending four-year colleges if the fund has any surplus after the first round of scholarships is paid. That second round could provide another $1,000 a year for students at four-year colleges, he said.
Rep. Mimi Stewart, D-Albuquerque, said the bill would give an unfair disadvantage to students who want to attend a four-year college.
"I believe what the bill does is it discourages New Mexico students from attending four-year universities," she said.

Class Constitution
The Federation Starship Republic was a Constitution class vessel.[1] James T. Kirk served aboard the Republic; while aboard the vessel, he befriended an older officer, Lieutenant Ben Finney, but that friendship didn't prevent Kirk from logging an incident in which Finney left a circuit to the vessel's reactor core open, endangering the ship. The incident report caused Finney to be moved to the bottom of the promotions list, and resulted more than a decade of enmity from the older man.[2]
In the 2260s, the Republic was under the command of Captain Richard Cornelius Patterson. The ship's assignments during this period included the transport of an investigating committee to Vardaine[1] and sensor scans of the remains of the Gadani II supernova. In 2268, the Republic was attacked by a Vardaine duplicate of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701. Nearly the entire crew, including Captain Patterson, was killed in the battle, and the Republic was left derelict by the attack. The Enterprise later engaged and destroyed the Vardaine duplicate.[1]

As stated in our previous article, Chinese tourists are very easily influenced by the opinions of others. When traveling, they refer to their own "review and advice tools", the king of which is Dazhong Dianping. Featuring similar functions to Yelp, it lists local retailers, restaurants, bars, cinemas, and other services. in China and abroad and it is the go-to tool for Chinese tourists. For example if a restaurant has a seemingly never-ending list of raving reviews on Dianping, the Chinese will flock there in their droves without any hesitation. Here is our Dianping English guide for you!
According to an article by the Diplomat, recent predictions have suggested that by 2022, China will see its middle class swell to around 630 million people. Chinese tourists were the biggest spenders in 2016, splurging a whopping $274 billion on their travels, especially in popular destinations outside of Asia such as the UK, France, Italy, and Germany.
We have put together 15 more profiles of the most followed Chinese KOLs in the industries we have worked with in the past few months: Skincare, Travel, Health, Sport, Parenting. These people create a new way of promotional marketing, engaging their followers on a daily/weekly basis and are helping brands find their customers in the endless ocean that is the Chinese market.
Chinese KOL in cosmetics are taking over China's beauty market. They are making the most out of the visually-oriented Chinese youth environment, producing watch-and-learn videos to share the most important tips and tricks on how to always look 100%. At Hi-COM we have carefully selected these profiles for the foreign brands to consider when promoting skincare and cosmetics brands, as well as entering the e-commerce market or dealing with health-related products in China. These 8 popular Chinese influencers are talented, hard-working and have been widely recognised by China's social media market with various awards.
KOL (Key Opinion Leader) Marketing, sometimes called Influencer Marketing, is an indirect type of marketing that aims to promote brands, products or services via advice or reviews. In 2019, China has become one of the most KOL Marketing friendly countries, allowing the top KOL of CHINA to create their own media channels. Today we will take a closer look at those who promote travel for Chinese consumers, while playing a big part in the industry by being frequent travelers themselves.
The blurred lines between work, play, socializing and doing business have brought significant changes to the daily lives of Westerners. However these changes have been even more starkly felt among China's digitally connected demographic. For the first time in history, Chinese language users now outnumber English language users online and China is now the biggest smartphone market in the world. Chinese consumers are the most digital in the world and the impact this has had on traditional marketing methods has been immense. HI-COM took a look at how KOLs are leading the charge on China's rapidly evolving world of social commerce.

A wise client said "being happy is almost as important as having a good resume in job search." Certainly easier said than done. Your feelings, mood, attitude do show through in all aspects of your search. Your feelings leak and it would be preferable to have 'happy' leak or at least a neutral leak. You make your best decisions when you are at your peak, not when you are upset.
How to overcome the stress of job transition? One thought is to chart the difficulties you have overcome in the past. Draw a time line of your life and include in it the good and hardships and remember that you did survive difficulties and you did thrive after them. What did you do to overcome the difficulties? Who did you turn to? What helped you? Perhaps this job transition will turn out to not be the most difficult time in your life, especially in comparison.
Positive visualizations help some clients. Visualize what it will be like with the new job and don't harp on the negative. Try to visualize your office, the work you will doing. Victor Frankl used this while in the concentration camp. He visualized teaching a class with students listening intently.
What can you do to help someone else? Where can you volunteer? Can you join a job search group? Can you help review a friend's resume? Can you walk a neighbor's dog? What can you do to make someone else's life easier?
How can you take your mind off your search without taking off too much time or spending too much money? Are there classes you can/should take? www.coursera.org has free classes that can be taken at night. I have seen resumes with technical skills gained from Coursera on them.
When I ask clients what they regret the most about the time between jobs, they tell me it is not having some fun during the transition time. So I do hope that you are doing something to lift your spirits if you are in transition.


Very elegant, this golden brass hand mirror is inspired by old models. It is a classy accessory that will proudly decorate your bathroom or dressing table. The small ring enables it to easily hang from a hook.

Raccoonica features artwork by Brenda Gallagher, Karly Mintz, Carrie Ortiz, and Gail Rutigliano. This exhibition is the culmination of the course Turning Art into Action, taught by artist Kathryn Eddy at The Art School at Old Church. In the course, local artists focused on processing their positions and reactions to current local, national, and global issues in an effort to start a dialogue. In their words, "What better way to throw our hat into the ring of discourse than through our love of creating art? We believe artwork is a thoughtful and impactful way to challenge and confront the crises we face today."
What People Said
I have been a student at Old Church for 30 years. Over the years, I have come to quite a few openings and exhibits. With that said, I think this was by far one of the very best. Creating two formal talks, with seating went along way to help the viewers understand the artist's perspective.
The event was well organized, with refreshments and familiar staff, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
I am hoping for more events like this one! Thank you to you and the art school staff for making it such a wonderful experience!
Classes during covid
The Art School at Old Church modified the learning model after the outbreak of Covid-19. The school closed but classes kept going, remotely. Today the school has limited capacity in all classrooms and many online classes.
This exhibition represented work that had been done while students attended classes from home or in small groups in the school's studios.
Faculty Exhibit: Salon 561
Closing Date: November 21, 2020
Salon 561 is an annual salon-style exhibition of artwork created by the members of the Art School's faculty. It is a unique opportunity for individuals to see what professional artists in the Art School community work on outside the classroom.

Alternate Worlds:
the art of Harriet Finck and Eric David Laxman
Reception: February 13, 5:30 - 7:30 pm
Artist Talks: Harriet Finck: Wed., Feb. 26, 12:00 PM, Eric David Laxman: Wed., March 11, 6:00 PM
Examining the world around us is a very personal journey of exploration and excavation; reimagining, questioning, sorting, and informing. Artist Harriet Finck looks to nature up close, in the case of cells, and to the vast distances between planets. Artist Eric David Laxman, in contrast, works with found materials, transforming discarded objects and giving them a new reality. Each, in their own style, create realities they want to exist; whether making political or social comments, revisiting memories or dreams, or reflecting on the world as they find it. In each case, an act of transformation must take place. First, as the idea is formulated by the artist, and second as the idea is further transformed by the process of working with materials.
Reception: January 9, 5:30 - 7:30 pm
Artist Talks:
Drawing, can be seen as pre-writing. It is thought to be a response to the world, much of which was not understood by early humans. It is still a response to the world we live in, today. Rudolf Arnheim, from whom the title of this exhibit comes, believed making art is our perceptual response to the world around us. "All perceiving is also thinking, all reasoning is also intuition, all observation is also invention."
-Rudolf Arnheim
Historically drawing has been used as preparation for larger projects. Cartoons were drawn during the Renaissance to transfer onto walls that would then be painted. Artists would draw studies of multiple elements of a composition and would then bring them together in the studio while painting.
Currently, in contemporary art practice, a drawing can be the finished work. Any surface and any mark-making tool can be used. Surfaces vary from paper, to metal, to fabrics. Drawing can be performative, interactive, an installation, or a classical translation of life or concept.
The 20 artists chosen for this exhibition display the variety and broad scope of drawing today.
On A Different Page
September 3 – October 18, 2019
Reception: September 12, 6:30 - 8:30 pm
Artist Talks: October 18, 6:30 - 8:30 pm
Book art encompasses many forms, and artists employ a variety of approaches to express themselves through this unique genre. On a Different Page presents the artist's personal relationship to the book as art form. Whether storytelling, tackling social issues, sculpting or deconstructing, each of these artists utilizes the book to create individual works of art.
Reception: March 22, 5:30 - 7:30 PM
April 24, 6:30 PM
Four artists come together in a monthly forum to discuss concerns that affect them as women and as artists. Their generational experiences are similar, their lives very different. They all struggle while managing relationships, motherhood and careers, the big three that pull you away from being a creative person. Together, the women grapple with many questions, among them, "What are these constructs and how do we respond to them? How does the body and identity translate into image?" They talk about how they navigate suburban and social pressures and expectations while staying true to their
creative selves and discuss how to translate their ideas into visual art. The four artists discover that their work is consciously or unconsciously incorporating the human
form. Figurative Language is a collection of these ideas visually represented.

"I think I'll be less nervous this time," said Gauff, who eliminated seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams in the first round Monday. "I think I'm more confident this time around."
As for what sticks with her about the post-match comforting Osaka offered in New York, Gauff said: "If I had a child or something, that's something I would want my child to see. It just shows what being a competitor really is. You might hate the person on the court, but off the court you love them — not really, like, 'hate,' but you want to win. Sometimes when we're on the court, we say things we don't mean because we have that mentality. When it's all said and done, we still look at each other with respect."
Other winners on Day 3 included Serena Williams — 6-2, 6-3 against Tamara Zidansek in a match that finished with the Rod Laver Arena retractable roof closed because of rain — No. 1 Ash Barty, 2018 Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki and two-time major champion Petra Kvitova, the runner-up to Osaka in Australia a year ago.
Defending men's champion Novak Djokovic required all of 95 minutes to breeze past Japanese wild-card entry Tatsuma Ito 6-1, 6-4, 6-2, while Roger Federer had a similarly easy time, beating 41st-ranked Filip Krajinovic of Serbia 6-1, 6-4, 6-1.
While Federer had the usual Grand Slam day off between matches, Krajinovic's first-round contest was postponed by showers and so he didn't have the proper rest after a five-set win Tuesday.
"I do feel a little bit sorry," said Federer, who now meets Australia's John Millman, who surprised him in the fourth round of the 2018 U.S. Open.
Gauff was not at her very best on a windy afternoon against Cirstea but managed to figure her way out of trouble repeatedly. Gauff demonstrated plenty of grit, yes, and also enthusiasm, pumping herself up by shaking a fist and yelling, "Come on!" after most of her successful points down the stretch.
All the while, Gauff was supported by a Melbourne Arena crowd that chanted, "Let's go, Coco! Let's go!"
Her father, Corey, was animated in the stands, too, except when he was squeezing his eyes shut at critical moments.
There were several of those for his precocious daughter, who was ranked only 313th last year when she became the youngest player in history to qualify for Wimbledon, then wound up beating Williams there en route to the fourth round.
It is a measure of her came-so-soon stardom that Gauff was playing at Melbourne Park's third-largest stadium Wednesday, even though this was a matchup between a pair of players ranked outside the top 60 and with one career Grand Slam quarterfinal between them, more than a decade ago (Cirstea made it that far at the 2009 French Open).
Indeed, every Grand Slam singles match -- "every" being a relative term, of course, because this was No. 9 -- of the 67th-ranked Gauff's nascent career has been placed on a show court.
This was the first main draw match at a major for Gauff in which she held a better ranking than her opponent.
Didn't seem that way at the outset: Gauff dropped the first set. After forcing things to a third, she trailed 3-0. After making it 3-3, Gauff needed to get through one more gut-check: Twice, she was two points from departing.
But the American teenager broke in the next-to-last game, then held to win.
How did Gauff get through this test?
"Just my will to win," she said. "My parents, they always told me I can come back, no matter what the score is."
Osaka worked through some frustrations Wednesday by grabbing her racket with both hands and chucking it to the ground, tossing away a tennis ball and kicking the racket along the court, to boot.
Then she plopped herself down on her sideline seat and draped a towel over her head. Soon, she was gathering herself and defeating Zheng Saisai 6-2, 6-4.
"I mean, my racket just magically flew out of my hand. I couldn't control it," Osaka said with a mischievous smile. "I think that's how I dealt with my frustration. It was a bit childish. I just want to play one match without throwing my racket or kicking it. That's all I want."
Perhaps because her news conference took place while Gauff and Cirstea were still playing, Osaka deflected a question seeking some sort of lookahead to the third round, saying simply she would go watch the end of that match.

I gave this short story 4 stars but for me it definitely deserves a bit more, so let's just say it's 4,5 stars out of five. The story is very interesting and the characters are both realistic and uncommon but what sets this short story appart is the writing. I found McClung's style to be exactly what I've been looking for in a fantasy book. It's smooth, clear and fast while being descriptive, atmospheric and very beautiful. After reading many books lately with clunky writing that usually felt off-target, this short story was a much welcomed change! I will definitely check his fantasy book "Thagoth" when I get the chance!

Amrap's AirIt | Australian Music Radio Airplay Project :: Alternative
Sort by: Date Artist
Result pages: 1234567891011121314
B. C. Taylor - Breathe Without Ya Alternative, Rock 17/01/2020
B. C. Taylor is a versatile, multi-faceted artist out of Sydney, Australia. His music bends genre and form, creating an accessible but unique performance.
A glitch-rock/alt hybrid that runs with a sneering verse delivery into a bouncy, raucous chorus. Tight, compact, effective. Likened to Oasis, Post Malone, Nirvana.
Bistro - Prosperity Gospel Alternative, Hip Hop, Rock, Psych 17/01/2020
Bistro is a Sydney based rapper, singer and producer mixing multiple genres and practices. Across countless projects and aliases he has solidified himself as a true Australian underground music auteur.
'Prosperity Gospel' is the first single from Sydney vocalist and producer, Bistro's new EP 'LNP' (out Jan 24). This is a clear shot at Australia's current government, aimed at corrupt politicians and their inaction on climate change. This is no holds barred anger over a psychedelic rock beat as Bistro sings with a middle finger squarely aimed at those responsible.
Bruise Pristine - Tired Eyes Alternative, Rock 17/01/2020
Bruise Pristine, comprised of Kate (guitar/vocals) Michelle (drums) and Theia (bass), revells in intrigues of the dark and vengeful. the band delivers grungy rock that harks back to the 90s.
With a moody bass-line, soft, grungy verses and a powerful chorus, Tired Eyes is a song about the dissonance that comes with having lots of ideas and ambitions but too little time or energy to see them through.
Cable Ties - Sandcastles Alternative, Rock, Punk 17/01/2020
Cable Ties come blasting out of Melbourne town with colossal walls of '70s rock, pithy proto-punk, garage rock and a pulsing rhythm section. Defiant song writing at its most intense.
Sandcastles is the first electrifying new single from Cable Ties' forthcoming 2020 album 'Far Enough.
Cirrus Crown - The Hardest Truth Alternative, Metal, Rock 17/01/2020
Cirrus Crown, a weather phenomenon associated with thunderstorms, is a metaphor that perfectly encapsulates the band's energetic, dynamic, heavy and ambient music.
The Hardest Truth opens with a sinister voice that says "Hear No, See No, Speak No Evil" that sets the tone for the single. A killer guitar riff is accompanied by a rhythmic powerhouse, and makes way for a spacious verse featuring a beautiful vocal take. This single is a master-class in dynamics, and will captivate from start to finish.
Fovndlings - Hank Williams Funeral Sonnet Alternative, Indie, Rock 17/01/2020
Hailing from Walcha NSW, Fovndlings play original cowpunk, marked by driving beats and lyrics exploring themes of friendship, loss, and landscape from the ragged edges of our cities and towns.
Hank Williams' Funeral Sonnet is a classic piece of Walchan cowpunk with driving drums and neo-country guitar reminiscent of Johnny Cash in one his more frenetic moods. The lyrics, which rumour has it, were found by the band in the garage sale offerings of a Baptist preacher, explore the desolation of life on the ragged edges of our provincial towns.
Other tracks by Fovndlings: Old Mate - Quiet Room
Georgia Fair - wasting time Alternative, Folk 17/01/2020
Georgia Fair is a long honest conversation, with sharp truths that sparkle and then disappear. With their dreamy storytelling and atmospheric landscapes they make the everyday seem like Fantasia.
There's a brutality to 'Wasting Time' that goes unsaid. The kick and the snare lash continuously as the lyric yearns for certainty 'I can only see so far into the future/I can only see so far into the haze'. The song in itself is an exorcism of illusion, cut mostly live in a converted tractor shed.
Other tracks by Georgia Fair: mystery trip - slave to nothin'
Hayley Mary - Like A Woman Should Alternative, Rock 17/01/2020
Hayley Mary shares her second single 'Like A Woman Should' off her debut EP The Piss, The Perfume - out Friday 17 January.
'Like A Woman Should' continues the contradiction of attitudes explored in 'The Piss, The Perfume' - which masterfully juxtaposes irony and optimism - this time masking a heartfelt love song behind wistful egalitarian social commentary.
Rivilin - neuroscience Alternative, Hip Hop 17/01/2020

Tame Impala - Lost In Yesterday Alternative, Psych, Rock 16/01/2020
In just under a decade, Tame Impala (Kevin Parker) have gone from a beloved psychedelic project to one of the most revered rock bands in the world.
"Lost In Yesterday" is a deep dive into the addictive nature of nostalgia propelled by loopy, driving disco. An examination of time's distorting effect on memories, Parker realises that even the most disdainful times can take on a rosy tinge the further they recede in the rear-view.

Thread: Can I Start a Private Message about Problem I'm having ?
I haven't been in here in a Very Long Time , and needed help with my Account , but prefer to have it be a Private Message . Is this possible ?
We prefer you don't do that. And it depends on a few things, is it illegal questions you'll be asking about? You still won't get an answer if you're going to ask for a key or an any other illegal activity.
And why do you feel it needs to be private. Others coming here might learn from your questions and answers but if it's private, no one sees those questions and answers.
If you're having issues with your VRDR acc't then PM our admin, Steve R Jones, and ask him to look into it.
It's nothing illegal ! And , I totally agree with everything you said ! People can learn from questions and answers , just like I did when I was a newbie and still learning.
I feel it needs to be private because it's an issue with my VRDR Account just as fink stated.
It's been awhile since I've posted in here , I don't remember how to PM someone . Do I just search his name and will I see a pm box for it ?
There's a Contact Us at the bottom of this page and I used that in error , so I asked here . I apologize for the mix up .

ESPOO, FINLAND – Natalie Spooner showed the world once again just how skilled of a hockey player she is. She led a stellar all-round performance from Team Canada with a hattrick against a Russian team that simply couldn't compete.
Spooner opened the scoring with a deflection goal off a point shot from Bridgette Lacquette just 12 seconds into a powerplay for her 50th career National Team goal. This was already the third penalty taken by the Russian squad just under 14 minutes into the game.
Canada opened the 2nd with two quick goals from Rebecca Johnston and Blayre Turnbull that chased Russian goalie Anna Prugova from the net after just over 26 minutes of ice time.
Now up 3-0, Canada went back on the powerplay and Spooner went back to work, scooping up a ricochet off the back boards and stuffing a wraparound passed Nadezhda Morozova. Just 4 minutes later, Spooner again jumped on a loose puck behind the net and tucked it behind Morozova on a second wraparound to complete the hattrick and finish the first period.
Liana Ganeyeva got the Russians on the board early in the 3rd period when her point shot deflected off Jocelyne Larocque and in passed Genevieve Lacasse, but that was basically the only scoring chance the Russians had all game.
With just 8 shots on net and none in the 2nd period, Russia really didn't have much offence.
Brianne Jenner and Bridgette Lacquette assisted on two of Spooner's goals to tally 2 points each, while Loren Gabel had several chances to get on the scoresheet again but, couldn't find the twine on one of her team-high 9 shots.
It was a more disciplined game for Canada with just 2 penalty calls but, the Russian goal was scored on the penalty to Jenner. That drops their penalty kill to 83%, which is, granted, still 4th in the tournament.
With her hattrick performance, Spooner now leads Team Canada with 6 points while Jenner sits 2nd with 5 points.
Despite the big win, Canada may have lost their Captain once again. Marie-Philip Poulin started the game on the ice for the first time since late February for the CWHL's Les Canadiennes de Montreal but, was taken hard into the boards midway through the 1st period. She was seen limping to the dressing room, favouring her previously injured leg and did not return to the game. Further updates on Poulin's condition to come.
Canada is the last team to play on back-to-back days but, finally has their test Tuesday against the host Finland in the last game of round robin play.


Just had this burger like half an hour ago. I must say comparing this to Prospect Espresso burger and this doesn't rate that highly. I didn't get that juicy melt in my mouth yumness compared to PE. Nor was the soft shiny bun that tasty, it was quite doughy compared to the brioche with grains from Prospect.
Now what is the point of the onion ring? is it a garnish? is it part of the burger? It did nothing for me either other than burn the top of my mouth. That thing is made of molten lava or i'm a bit of rubbish eater and stupidly gulped the whole thing. Lets be honest it was the later not the former.
However two good points for this place.
1. it's got a lot of damn fine beers in bottles and on tap too.
2. the tomato jam they have with everything is ridic-balls and even if your a vegetarian get the chips and nom nom nom on the tomato jam.
3. the staff are all smiles and pretty helpful even though there busy.
highly recommend the chicken sliders. Fried chicken breast pieces, fluffy buns, mayo mixed with the relish..amazing.
What's not to love about this place!?
Marcus, you must be thinking of a different burger lounge. Either that, or you're drunk.
Sorry Marcus, I think you went to the wrong place.
I have been here 10 times and I have never been disappointed. Burgers have been amazing so not sure what you had.

not sure this is the proper place for this, but i have a question about using Raster Tools to insert a geo-referenced image.
any ideas? or am i doing something wrong.
If you've IINSERTed the image and it falls in the correct place, why save it at all (it's already 'right')?
If you need to modify the image (move, rotate, apply a histogram, adjust brightness or contrast, etc) and do not want to modify the original image you attached, then simply modify the image and IEXPORT it, saving to your project (not the overall aerial source folder).
i want to save the dwg, but it won't let me without "save as" or am i missing a step.
i'm using the insert button the ribbon with raster tools.
Hard to tell; feel like I'm missing some information.
You insert the image with Raster Design (IINSERT)... That's it... You've not done anything else to the image, so just save your drawing (QSAVE)... There is no need to 'save' or 'save as' the image (as it is not modified).
If you need to do something to the image you IINSERTed, such as crop it (ICROP*), make it B/W or adjust brightness or contrast (IHISTOGRAM) using Raster Design Commands, then do so and IEXPORT the modified image to your project.
thanks BlackBox. will definitely try that.
