Today ends my first French Quarter Fest. It was a lot of fun and not nearly as scary and hectic as I feared ... much the same review that I gave to Mardi Gras.
What continues to astound me with these festivals here in New Orleans is how family oriented they are. I think the only view and opinion the vast majority of the country has about New Orleans is centered on images taken from Bourbon street. Just like when watching the parades during Mardi Gras, I found myself surrounded by kids over the last couple of days. I really liked hearing the sampling of local music and even put in a request with Remy (the local NOLA nut) for an mp3 of an interesting song I heard the other night.
I am coming to really appreciate this city and its culture. I think it has a bad wrap with the rest of the country. I am not saying the "crazies" aren't here - but they don't rule the roost.

William Campbell Adderley 1889 and Cleophas Adderley (UBP) 1967 – Black Representatives For City District, Nassau
William Campbell Adderley (1846-1892) MHA for City District (1889 until sudden death 1892) and Cleophas Adderley (elected 1967 by-election and 1968 General Election) were not related, as far as can be discerned, given available history. However, these men do share a particular distinction in Bahamian history.
William Campbell Adderley elected in 1889 and Cleophas Adderley UBP, elected in a by-election, after Sir Stafford Sands resigned his City District seat in 1967, and again in 1968, were black men who represented the coveted City District of New Providence.
William Campbell Adderley MHA City District (1889-1892), son of Alliday Adderley died while a sitting Member of the House of Assembly.
William Campbell Adderley was the son of Alliday Adderley, uncle of Wilfred Parliament Adderley and grand-uncle of Alfred Francis (A. F.) Adderley.
Adderley became a shop owner, landowner and president of the Bahama Friendly Society.
The Bahama Friendly Society, was first created, after slavery ended in 1834. It began as a savings cooperative to help bury blacks and provide charity to widows and orphans.

The Nassau Guardian and Bahama Island's Advocate and Intelligencer SATURDAY 8th JUNE 1889
William Campbell Adderley becomes one of FOUR representatives for the City District in 1889.
Campbell Adderley garnered the highest number of votes in the Grant's Town Market polling division. Adderley got 153 votes. Remember that only men could vote and the plural voting system was in effect; that is, if you owned a business, you could also cast a company vote as well.

William Campbell Adderley died while a sitting Member of the Assembly. His death was given one brief sentence. There was no obituary, no explanatory mention of his life.
The Nassau Guardian and Bahama Island's Advocate and Intelligencer SATURDAY 2nd JULY 1892
William Campbell Adderley had not been dead a week, before others began vying for his City District seat.
The Nassau Guardian and Bahama Island's Advocate and Intelligencer SATURDAY 9th JULY 1892
The Nassau Guardian and Bahama Island's Advocate and Intelligencer WEDNESDAY 27th JULY 1892
William Campbell Adderley died on Thursday 30th June 1892 from inflammation of the kidneys. Adderley was only 46 years old. He was born around 1846.
William Campbell Adderley was President of Bahama Friendly Society, the African burial, savings and charity society, founded after slavery.
Bahama Friendly Society wasted no time in electing a new president in the wake of the death of William Campbell Adderley. They elected the VP, Joseph A. Rolle to be the new president. Joseph Rolle then decides to run for the City District. He later withdraws his bid.

1967 – Cleophas Adderley (UBP) wins City seat in by-election after Sir Stafford Sands resigns. Adderley admonishes white Bahamians that they caused the PLP to win because they stayed away from the polls!
The hasty resignation of Sir Stafford Sands, in 1967, after the Progressive Liberal Party's narrow win in January 1967, forced a bitterly contested by-election.
The UBP chose a negro, Cleophas Adderley, to run against PLP candidate Milo Butler Jr.
The St. Louis Despatch, SUNDAY 9th JULY 1967
Cleophas Adderley admonished white Bahamians to put aside their hesitancy towards voting for a black man. Adderley told a crowd in July 1967, that it was the white people who caused the PLP to win, because they did not show up for the UBP at the polls.

Australian Gourmet Traveller recipe for Karedok.
This take on the West Javanese version of gado gado, an Indonesian vegetable salad with a satay dressing, would be great served alongside grilled beef, fish or chicken.
For roasted peanut dressing, heat 1cm peanut oil in a small saucepan over high heat, add peanuts and stir frequently until golden (4-8 minutes). Drain (reserve oil separately). Pound galangal, chilli and garlic with a large pinch of salt to a smooth paste in a mortar and pestle. Add peanuts, finely crush, add lime juice, sugar, soy sauce and belacan and stir to combine. Season to taste with sea salt and lime juice, then thin with 40ml reserved oil and a little water.
Preheat more peanut oil in a deep saucepan to 170C. Deep-fry prawn crackers, turning occasionally, until puffed and golden (1-2 minutes; be careful as hot oil will spit), drain on absorbent paper and set aside.
Combine snake beans and remaining ingredients in a large bowl with roasted peanut dressing, toss to coat, stand to infuse (1-2 minutes), then serve with prawn crackers and lime wedges to the side.
Note Belacan, a fermented shrimp paste, is available from Asian grocers.

North Korea Says Its Supporters May Be Behind Sony Attack
By Reuters December 8, 2014
This story originally appeared on Reuters
The Pyongyang government's state-run media said the cyber attack on Sony's Hollywood studio may have been the work of pro-North Korean supporters in a report on Sunday that dismissed charges that the country itself was to blame as "wild rumor."
Reuters | Fred Prouser
"The hacking into Sony Pictures Entertainment might be a righteous deed of the supporters and sympathizers with the DPRK in response to its appeal," the article by the KCNA news agency said, using the official DPRK acronym for North Korea.
The article, which represents the nation's most detailed response about the attack to date, denounced South Korea, accusing Seoul of "floating the false rumor that the North was involved in the hacking."
It also warned the United States that "there are a great number of supporters and sympathizers with the DPRK all over the world."
It said 'Guardians of Peace,' the hacking gang that has taken responsibility for the attack at the Sony Corp unit, was one such group. A North Korean diplomat has denied Pyongyang was behind the attack that was launched last month, though a U.S. national security source said it was a suspect.
Joseph DeTrani, a former senior U.S. intelligence official who has served as a special envoy in negotiations with Pyongyang, said that North Korea has historically been truthful when making statements about its involvement in attacks.
However, current leader Kim Jong Un has only been in power for about three years, which raises the possibility that the nation could have swayed from that policy, DeTrani said.
DeTrani said that he did not know if Pyongyang was responsible, but that it did have the ability to launch such an attack.
To date, cybersecurity experts say most of its cyber capabilities have been targeted at South Korea, which is technically still in a state of war with the North.
The attack shut down most of the studio's network for more than a week and hackers have released sensitive data over the Internet, including employee salaries and Social Security numbers along with high-quality digital versions of several unreleased films.
Forensics experts hired by Sony said the breach was unprecedented, well-planned and carried out by an "organized group," according to an email obtained by Reuters on Saturday.
That document did not identify suspects, but people close to the investigation have told Reuters that North Korea is a principal suspect based on technical evidence and Pyongyang's strong opposition to Sony Pictures comedy, 'The Interview,' which features a plot to assassinate the North Korean leader and is due to open Dec. 25 in the United States.
North Korea has described the film as an "act of war," though a North Korean diplomat last week denied that his nation was involved in the cyber attack.
Sony appears to be going ahead with its Christmas release. Actors James Franco and Seth Rogen appeared on the U.S. television program "Saturday Night Live" to promote "The Interview," in which they co-star.
"Something pretty crazy happened this week," Franco joked as he began a monologue about the unprecedented attack on U.S. soil, which included the theft of sensitive data of actors who had worked on Sony films.
"Soon you'll know that my email is cuterthandavefranco@aol.com. My password is Littlejamesycutiepie," he said. "This is all just a real violation of my personal life."
The monologue was followed by an ad for the film that said it will be in theaters on Christmas Day, indicating that the hack has not caused Sony to delay its debut.

Q: Increasing velocity over time I'm working on a game where you're trying to run away from projectiles but their speed increases overtime. I came up with this solution:
vel += vel*0.01
x_coordinate += vel

At first it works fine but after some time it gets really fast and breaks the game. Is there another way that I can increase the speed for a some time and cap it at a certain level?

A: You should increase the velocity with a constant rate.
vel += 0.01
x_coordinate += vel

Or an even better choice if you want to cap the speed at a certain point is to slow the rate at which the speed is increasing.
acc = 0.01
vel += acc
x_coordinate += vel
acc *= 0.9

A: What you need is acceleration:
Velocity is the change in position over time. And acceleration is the change in speed over time.
For a constant speed you can basically add your velocity to your position and you will have a constant speed movement:
Assuming position and velocity are vectors:
pos = vector(0, 0)
vel = vector(1, 1)
pos += vel

If you have some acceleration the problem is still simple. before you change the position you shall change the velocity by acceleration.
Assuming position and acceleration, speed are vectors:
pos = vector(0, 0)
vel = vector(1, 1)
acc  = vector(1, -1)
vel += acc
pos += vel

Now you have accelerated motion.

Chef Paulo "Toogy" Clavecilla wants to raise the profile of the humble siling labuyo, a variety of small chili peppers commonly found in the Philippines, to the hyper-ubiquitous levels of sriracha. Along with wife Laveena and friend JC Medina, the trio of entrepreneurs dreamed up Traydor Hot Sauce, a brand of siling labuyo-based condiments with avant-garde flavors. The goal: to become as iconic as those red bottles with green caps that summon the legendary flavors of Indochina wherever they appear.
Siling labuyo are small and tapered, often red (sometimes yellow, purple and black), very pungent and always pack in a hot punch. "It has a special burn — it stings and lingers," Toogy says. To complement this, the team infused the sauces with Philippine ingredients like rum, mango, pineapple, lemongrass and coconut water. Traydor hot sauces are made in small batches, by a small staff supervised by Toogy, and feature fresh, all-natural ingredients with no artificial flavorings or heavy preservatives. The siling labuyo is sourced from local markets.
The trio had started formulating recipes in early 2014. Their project gained momentum when they were introduced to the Chiliheads Philippines community (yup, there's such a thing), a group of farmers who grow and eat their own chilis, on Facebook. When Chiliheads held its first chili festival in October 2014, Traydor ended up sweeping the Labuyo Category of the Hot Sauce Contest. "That gave us further validation that we were really on to something here," Toogy recalls.
"We recently attended the NYC Hot Sauce Expo to get a feel for global standards," Toogy reveals. He hopes that the humble labuyo — and Traydor Hot Sauce — will make it there one day.
Traydor aims to provide variety in a market filled with very similar and conventional chili sauces. Judas, which is flavored with roasted garlic and tomatoes, is the most flexible of the bunch and you can put it on almost anything. Brutus has the taste of green apples, coconut water, lemongrass and cashew butter, and goes well with roasts and stews. Mango, pineapples, orange and rum feature in Damaso, which goes well with barbecues and seafood. Mata Hari is labuyo steeped with honey, and can be drizzled on pizza, cheese, barbecue, ham, and even pistachio ice cream.


Ollie Schniederjans, who recently graduated from Georgia Tech, finished in a tie for 12th place at The Open Championship with a final round at 9-under par. On top of his great finish, Schniederjans became just the third amateur since 1960 to make the cut for both the U.S. Open and Open at St. Andrews. The other two men were Tiger Woods (1996) and Phil Mickelson (1991).
Schniederjans had a tough decision to either remain an amateur or turn pro earlier this year. He elected to remain an amateur so that he could compete in these two Major Championships after winning the Mark H. McCormack Medal, which is given to the world's top-ranked amateur after the U.S. Amateur and European Amateur.
2015 has been a year to remember for Schniederjans as he was the ACC Player of the Year, All-American and made the cut for two Major Championships and will now be able to start his professional career at the perfect time.
Schniederjans will now head to Canada, where he will make his pro debut in the RBC Canadian Open. "My game is in the best place it's been ever," Schniederjans said. He will join fellow Georgia Tech graduates, Matt Kuchar, David Duvall, Stewart Cink and Cameron Tringale in the pro ranks moving forward.

Chiulli is formally voted in as the new president of GAISF
GOLD COAST: Raffaele Chiulli has been elected as president of the Global Association of International Sports Federations.
Chiulli has served as GAISF vice-president since 2015 and senior vice-president since 2016. His term as president begins immediately and he will serve a two-year mandate, as outlined in the GAISF statutes.
Ahead of the election in general assembly, Chiulli laid out his work programme for the future of GAISF. His plans include supporting International Federations in their promotion of youth development programmes and social responsibility initiatives, as well as strengthening the role of GAISF as a services-based organisation.
In his programme, sent to all members ahead of the assembly, Chiulli said: "Whilst I am loyal to the traditions, values and principles of GAISF, I also believe that we must be a modern and forward-thinking organisation.
"I believe GAISF can and should be a driving force in supporting International Federations to achieve their goals."
Chiulli had been due to stand for election in 2020 however the death of Patrick Baumann in 2018 prompted members to accept a council proposal to bring forward the presidential rotation by a year. Chiulli's term is therefore due to end at the General Assembly in 2021.
He has served as the Association of IOC Recognised International Sports Federations (ARISF) president since 2013, and International Powerboating Federation (UIM) president since 2007. He has also been a member of the IOC Sport and Active Society Commission since 2014.

Minimize technology, A common design dilemma in traditional rooms is how to incorporate modern technology like televisions. In this case the TV was placed above the fireplace in order to create a column effect and streamline the focal point, thus minimizing the impact of the television. In traditional spaces the more you can hide technology the better.

Electronics: Don`t hide the high‐tech. Whether it´s a flat‐panel big–screen TV and DVD player with sound system plus computer ‐ electronic gadgets should be perceptible also attainable. Don't bother attempting to conceal the TV in an armoire or the `computer´ in a roll‐top desk. Let a beautiful‐entertainment‐center dominate one wall also consecrate one corner to chic office area. And ‐ maybe most significant of everything ‐ whatever you do, don´t conceal the remote control!

Golden touch. If a tasteful look is desired, try appending some gold accents to a green space. Gold has a way of appending a lux factor to every manner of space and a conventional area like this room created by Tobi Fairley is no exception. The gold mirror is the focal spike of the space yet it helps draw out some of the prosperous green colors in the fabrics also attachments.
Play with `pastels`. Before it comes to scheming your living area you must first contemplate the palette you will use. When it comes to vintage living‐room ideas, people often make the 'miscalculation' of believing that they have to include over–the‐top with bold colors in the `scheme´. Nothing could be 'further´ from the veracity.

Also the good news is that they've create something of a comeback in new years. The key here is to select a muted color for the print so that it's not overpowering. "Pale pastel colors" tend to work best as they draw the eye but are still fairly subtle.

Statement walls. When you suppose of contemporary, it's easy to focus on simple colors such as white also beige. Maybe contrasting with darker greys also blacks for a dramatic consequence. While these stark color amalgamations work well. Don´t be fearful to branch out by generating a feature or assertion wall. Accent wallpaper in a span of enjoyment patterns can work. Or you might simply opt to color one of the focal–walls in your belongings a bright–color to add ´curiosity` also depth to a room.

Like last month's Union Depot 1932, I'd like to thank Danny at the Pre-Code.com blog for introducing me to yet another obscure train movie.
There are only two thespians I had previously heard of in this picture: Marlene Dietrich, of course, as Shanghai Lily and Eugene Pallette as Sam Salt. Mr. Pallette was almost instantly recognizable by his voice alone. Film goers may remember him as Friar Tuck in The Adventures of Robin Hood 1938 ("Give me back my mutton!").
The real star of the show was Southern Pacific Railroad #2428, a P-3 class 4-6-2 Baldwin-built steam locomotive. I believe this was the same engine used to represent two different trains. Pulling out of Peiping (Peking), the engine is numbered 4234, then the "hostage train" is numbered 2428. To further complicate things, there are only Chinese characters in the number boards to reference, but at least the wheel arrangement matches.
Anyhoo, let's take a look at Hollywood's interpretation of Chinese rail transport during an ongoing civil war. Hen hao, xièxiè !
Fixing to leave Peiping, the engineer looks back for the highball. Cab side lettering reads "4234" in Chinese characters; Later on in the movie, the engine characters are switched to "2428".
Here is a link to sister SP locomotive #2429 to see what our film's 4-6-2 looks like without the set dressing.

I think I heard the word, "swell" about a dozen times in this movie…which made me giggle. It's kind of corny, but relevant slang for the times. Now, before I get too carried away here, I want to thank Danny at the Pre-Code.com blog for tipping me off about this movie. His review of this flick was a great inspiration and help in understanding what the heck was going on.
For a picture mostly filmed in the studio, Union Depot had a respectable train allotment including two Southern Pacific steam locomotives I could identify, a named Pullman 12-1 sleeper and the pre-LAUPT Southern Pacific Central Station to name a few. And let's not overlook the enormous Union Depot set itself built in the studio — which would be re-used in many more upcoming movies.
Joan Blondell (Yowza!) plays chorus girl Ruth Collins alongside the rakish Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. as hobo/bum Chick Miller who cleans up nicely (literally) before he meets his gal pal.
Let's go down to the station and see what's happening. All Abooooooarrrrd!!!
Joan turns on a dazzling smile as she and Doug discuss travel plans. In the background is the Union Depot soundstage which included offices, a cafe, bathrooms, waiting room with wooden pews, numbered gates to trains and columns. Lots of columns.

This film was recommended to me by Pete! It's the third National Film Board of Canada movie I have reviewed on my blogs and the first to mainly feature Canadian Pacific Railway (CP). This is the story of CP station master Dalton Henry and his crew in little Finch, Ontario. The Canadian Pacific had a crossing here with a New York Central (NYC) branch line to Ottawa.
Steam was still active in Eastern Canada at the time and there is a nice mix of trains on both railroads. The CP rails still exist through Finch, but the NYC branch was abandoned shortly thereafter in February 1957.
This black & white short packs a lot of railroad action into its 15 minutes and is a poignant look at the way things used to be on the railway. Highball!
Out in front of the depot, a section gang is busily shoveling snow from switches and the crossing diamond. Up in the interlocking tower, Charlie lights up a Player's and checks his pocket watch. Note the nearby telegraph key and dispatcher's phone on a scissors arm.

It's "Urk-Yul" Poirot! Yes, everyone's favorite Belgie detective, Hercule Poirot (played by David Suchet) is once more investigating a murder — this time on a steam train from London's Paddington Station to Bristol (and eventually Plymouth).
Our first steam engine encounter is in the credits of every TV episode of the series (see above). It looks to be an "artist's conception" of a London and North Eastern Railway Class A4 streamlined 4-6-2 designed by Sir Nigel Gresley.
Today's episode features two different Southern Railway (U.K.) steam engines as well as location shooting at Hull Paragon Railway Station (standing in for London's Paddington, Bristol & Plymouth) and along the Bluebell Railway.
In a moving crane shot, we find SR #777 "Sir Lamiel" pulling its' four-car train into Plymouth…er Hull Station. A grisly discovery is about to be made onboard!

Let's hear it for the Post Office! Or to quote from the film's opening with triumphant march music playing in the background: "We're proud of our Post Office, because we have confidence in its efficiency". Well, things have changed a bit since 1950, but back in the day….
Many thanks to reader Mark Herrmann who tipped me off about this film noir goodie. After purchasing the DVD, I researched it and discovered train scenes filmed in Indiana AND Southern California. In addition to Alan Ladd (who plays the tough-as-nails Postal Inspector, Al Goddard), there are small parts played by Jack Webb ("My name's Friday") and Harry Morgan as two gang henchmen. That's Al stepping off the caboose above.
As always, I'm gonna concentrate on the railroad pulchritude and leave the plot and gangster genre for others who may follow. C'mon, let's check out trains from NYC, Pere Marquette, C&NW, Pennsylvania and Union Pacific railroads!
Gary (Indiana) Union Station was a beautiful structure when constructed in 1910 – as well as a pivotal plot point in this movie. Located between the New York Central and Baltimore & Ohio mainlines, both roads were served by this two-story edifice.
In these two views, we get a look inside and out of the passenger terminal. The depot still exists, but is literally a shell of its former self. That's a 1949 Checker Cab (Thanks, big brother Mark!).

Chick Flick! Why would I bother with such a film, you ask? Why, it's because one of the "Ladies" is the gorgeous Atlanta & West Point Railroad # 290, a 4-6-2 Pacific, built by the Lima Locomotive Works, Lima, Ohio, in 1926. As of 2022, A&WP #290 is still with us, currently being cosmetically restored for display by the good folks at the Southeastern Railway Museum, Duluth, Georgia.
Much of the railroad scenes were filmed in and around Juliette, Georgia using a former Southern Railway line (Macon to Atlanta). A&WP #290 and the railroad was used not only as a plot point, but can be seen in the background of some interior shots.
Fried Green Tomatoes anyone? All aboard for the Whistle Stop depot and cafe!
Isn't she a beauty? Strutting her stuff for the cameras comes A&WP #290 past the "Whistle Stop" depot. Restored in 1989 for excursion service in and around Atlanta, A&WP #290 is seen here "hot" as it would have appeared pulling The Crescent between Atlanta and Montgomery, Alabama in 1926-1954.

Henry the Green Engine! At age 6, I received this book which introduced me to the magical railway of the fictional Island of Sodor. Imagine my surprise when as an adult, someone started making little model railroad videos of the same stories I used to read as a kid. I was hooked.
This review comes from my DVD, "Thomas & Friends, The Early Years". I am concentrating on just the story, "The Flying Kipper", as that was one of my faves. Narrated by Ringo Starr, I will note the slight changes made in the story line from the book to the movie and present the images side by side for comparison. This episode was originally broadcast on 2 April 1989 (from IMDB.com).
The original books were written by The Rev. W. Awdry with illustrations by C. Reginald Dalby. The videos were created and adapted by Britt Allcroft.
Dontbesilly! Dontbesilly! Trock, trick! Trock, trick! Henry #3 is a 4-6-0 green engine with red stripes. Here he is hustling along with the Kipper in the pre-dawn darkness. Note in the book picture (right), he is pulling about 9 freight cars.

Whilst grazing around on YouTube, I came upon this absolute gem of an early black and white talkie. Railroadin' features the Little Rascals / Our Gang kids on location at Santa Fe Railway's Redondo Junction roundhouse in Los Angeles.
The star of the show is AT&SF #1373, a 4-6-2 built by Baldwin in 1913 and scrapped in 1949. In addition, we catch glimpses of a whole bevy of steam locomotives at the roundhouse which I'll try to sort out later in this review.
Many thanks to "chrisbungostudios" on YouTube for putting together a most useful "Filming Locations" video, which will be linked to further down in my write up.
It's iron horses galore in the last golden days of the Roaring Twenties! Let's check it out.
Santa Fe Railway #1373 belches copious amounts of black smoke skyward (sanding the flues) as it runs along a side track. Notice the string of boonie old "outside braced" wooden box cars in the background.

Wow, early first generation diesels star alongside Santa Fe Railway's magnificent fleet of steam locomotives in this color film showing the AT&SF was doing its bit to help win World War 2.
As a vital link to the Pacific Theater, Santa Fe received the lion's share of EMD FT diesel locomotives built before and during the war.
Let's take a look at how one railroad hauled military, freight and passengers along with all the facilities needed to keep the system going. Santa Fe, All the Way!
An EMC E6 locomotive gets its slant nose scrubbed down as a Baldwin 4-6-4 backs up alongside; a 4 unit set of EMD FT's pulls past a very smoky iron horse.
GM's Electro-Motive Division designed the famous red and silver "Warbonnet" paint scheme as well as the more somber, but still classy blue and yellow for the freight FT's.

Requiem Concert – WW1 Centenary
A concert to include the premiere of a new Requiem for cello, tenor and choir, marking the centenary of the end of the First World War.
Alex Woolf
26 backers pledged £1,545 to help bring this project to life.
London, UK Classical Music
pledged of £1,500 goal
I'm so excited to be curating a concert in June of this year, marking 100 years since the end of the First World War, to include the premiere performance of my Requiem.
Scored for cello, tenor, choir & organ, the Requiem combines the traditional Latin text with new text by Gillian Clarke, National Poet of Wales and recipient of the Queen's Medal for Poetry, who I'm incredibly excited to be working with! I'm working hard to create a piece that combines old and new, reflecting on the past whilst looking toward the future.
The Requiem will feature two phenomenal soloists: cellist Laura van der Heijden (BBC Young Musician of the Year) and tenor Nicky Spence ('A voice of real distinction' – Daily Telegraph). I couldn't be more thrilled that these two extraordinary musicians are taking part in this project, alongside the magnificent Vox Luna, a choir comprising some of the UK's best young professional singers.
The concert will also feature music designed to illuminate the experience of a Requiem in various ways; towering, beautiful works by John Tavener, James MacMillan, Richard Rodney-Bennett, Parry, Pearsall and Purcell will help to form a kind of musical bridge between 1918 and the present day.
We'd be so grateful of any support you could offer towards making this project the absolute best it can be. There are, naturally, enormous costs involved in pulling this off – I'm not taking any sort of fee for the Requiem (a real labour of love!), but venue costs, artist fees, music hire and publicity amount to a total which is somewhat larger than I can come close to alone! With some initial funding raised privately, I'm seeking a total of £1500 through the amazing community here on Kickstarter – this sum will ensure that the project can be a real success, a truly special commemorative event which reaches as many people as possible. There are plenty of different rewards to choose from, so do take a look! Any help you could offer would be so hugely appreciated.
The event itself will be in support of Children & the Arts; the more we're able to cover costs in advance of the concert, the more we'll be able to raise on the day for this fantastic organisation.
I hope you'll consider supporting this project, which I hope will be a really special event in this centenary year! The concert is taking place on 9th June 2018 at Holy Trinity Sloane Square, London – I hope you'll be able to join us then, too!
If we raise these funds on Kickstarter, this project will go ahead challenge-free!

Nobel Prize Winners Demand Better Health Care For Victims Of Sexual Violence In Colombia
EFE Fox News Latino
Six Nobel Prize winners, led by America's Jody Williams, wrote a letter supporting the action being taken by five organizations demanding that victims of sexual violence in Colombia be guaranteed access to the health care they need, the NGO Women's Link Worldwide said Tuesday.
That organization, with headquarters in Spain and Colombia, is one of the five human rights and women's collectives that have filed suit with the Constitutional Court demanding that the Andean nation make the health care protocol obligatory as intended when it was established in 2012, but which, they allege, has left too many victims to shift for themselves.

Careem has launched ride-hailing operations in Basra, Iraq.
Basra is the third Iraqi city in which Careem operates, following their entry into the country last year in Baghdad, and then later expanding into Najaf. The launch in Basra – Iraq's second-largest city by population – brings ride-hailing to a further 2.5 million people in the country and will operate via existing taxis throughout the city.
Taxi prices are currently unmetered, so Careem's app will bring a more reliable and consistent approach for customers, with prices that will be at the same level as normal taxis. For taxi drivers, it will help them to connect with more passengers and increase the number of rides – and earnings – each day.
Our presence in Basra will not only improve mobility, it will also create job opportunities for the people in the city. Within the next five years, our vision is to serve hundreds of thousands of customers and create more than ten thousand job opportunities in Basra.
Basra is Iraq's economic heart, where the majority of the country's oil production takes place and the home of Iraq's only deep-water port, but it's development has been held back by ageing infrastructure and inefficient public transportation services. Careem plans to solve these issues by providing reliable, safe, secure, convenient and affordable transportation options to all segments of Basrawis
Currently, there is no public transportation in Basra, other than small, privately-operated minibuses that serve dedicated routes but without a specific timetable or scheduled stops.
Not only is our technology is helping to create employment opportunities and provide essential mobility for millions of people in Iraq. It is our hope that Careem's presence will encourage other companies to set up business in Iraq and join us in helping to rebuild and improve the infrastructure of the nation.

Cruise the open roads and enjoy peace of mind that you have motorcycle insurance in Brentwood, CA behind you.
Whether you ride a street bike, touring bike, cruiser or custom chopper, your motorcycle is synonymous with two things: freedom and adventure. You enjoy the freedom and excitement of the open road and long for adventure that it brings. But with a motorcycle comes responsibility and uncertainty. You may not know what's round the bend, but the right motorcycle insurance in Brentwood, CA can ensure you are prepared for it all.
Even if you already have an insurance policy on your car, truck, van or SUV, it will not cover your motorcycle and the journeys you do on your bike. California law requires you to purchase liability insurance that is tailored specifically to your motorcycle. In short, if you ride and own a motorcycle, you need specific motorcycle insurance.
What Does Motorcycle Insurance in Brentwood, CA Cover?
Bodily injury and property damage liability covers you if you are at fault for an accident that injures someone or damages a person's property. Liability coverage can also be obtained for guest passengers, meaning anyone riding pillion is covered, too.
This part of your policy covers the cost of medical care that is the result of a motorcycle accident, regardless of who is at fault.
Comprehensive and collision coverage help to pay to repair or replace your motorcycle if it's stolen or damaged in an accident.
This coverage typically pays for expenses associated with injury or death from an accident caused by an underinsured or uninsured driver. It also covers you if you are the victim of a hit-and-run accident.
Breaking down in the middle of nowhere is no fun. Roadside assistance coverage means that towing and assistance are covered in the event of a breakdown. This ensures you get back up and on the road as soon as possible.
Never hop on your bike without adequate coverage in place. While you may think that nothing will happen, and we hope that it doesn't, you should always be prepared for the unexpected. A motorcycle policy can ensure you cruise the roads worry-free.
Jack Stone Insurance Agency is here to make sure you are properly covered if you get into an accident. We understand how treacherous the Golden State roads can be, and we are the motorcycle experts that can help you find the right motorcycle insurance in Brentwood, CA.


Surah al Fatiha (1)Once the Prophet was traveling when he disembarked and began walking alongside a companion. He asked him, 'Shouldn't I tell you the best part of the Qur'an?' then he recited 'Alhamdu lillahi rabil alameen' (Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds). (First verse in Surrah Al Fatiha (1:1)Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said:"Whoever mastered the first seven (chapters or verses) from the Qur'an is a pontiff."Also Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said:"In the Fatiha of the Qur'an, there is a cure for all maladies (illnesses)"Surah al Baqara (2) Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said:"The Qur'an and those who committed themselves to it will be presented on the Day of judgment, preceded by Surrah Al Baqara and Surrah Al Imran."Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) also said:"Learn how to recite Surah Al Baqara for there is a blessing in it, and there is sorrow for abandoning it, and it is unbearable for the idle' and that Al Baqara and Al Imran are like two flowers which will shade their learner on the day of Judgment, as if there were two large clouds or two flocks of birds."Also Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said:"Recite Surrah Al Baqara in your dwellings and do not keep them as tombs. He also said that whoever recited Surrah Al Baqara at night would be crowned with a crown of paradise."Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said:"Do not make your house as tombs, for Satan averts a dwelling wherein Surrah Al Baqara is recited"Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) was asked, 'Which part of the Qur'an is the best?'. He replied, 'The Surrah in which the cow is mentioned'. He was then asked 'Which part of that Surrah?'. He replied, 'The verse of the Throne and the last part of Surrah Al Baqara came down from under the Throne'Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said:'Whoever recites 4 verses from the first part of Surrah Al Baqara, the verse of the Throne, two verses after the verse of the Throne and three verses from the last part of Surrah Al Baqara, Satan would never come near him or the members of his family on that day, and nothing he despises would come near him or the members of his family, and never are these verses recited over a madman without him regaining his consciousness'Abdullah ibn Masud (may Allah be please with him) said, 'Whoever recited ten verses from Al-Baqara in the night, Satan shall not have access to that house, during the night till he wakes in the morning. These are: Four from the first part of the Surrah, followed by the verse of the Throne, two verses after the verse of the Throne and three from the last part of the Surrah'.
Ibn Masud (may Allah be pleased with him recited (Surrah Al Mu'minun from verse 115 to 118) in the ear of an afflicted person and the man was cured.Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said:'What did you recite in his ear?' Ibn Masud told him, and the Prophet (PBUH) said, 'By He in Whose hand lies my soul, Were a believing man to recite it over a mountain, it would have melted'.
Ibn Masud (may Allah be pleased with him) said, 'The 'ha-meems' are the embellishment of the Qur'anThe 'ha-meems' refer to the seven Surrahs which have ha-meem at the start.
Mash'Allah, what beautiful surahs. I agree that we should always try to find the time during the day to read the Quran. I know that when I first converted to Islam, my local mosque gave me a beautiful Quran and I started reading it but as a new convert I did not understand it until later I learned that the benefits of reading certain surahs went a long way in life.
May Allah bless us and have us recite the mentioned surahs and understand their meanings.
