Disaster officials say the quake did not cause any damage.
Authorities earlier announced they would be ending efforts to locate 197 people still missing after the Fuego volcano erupted killing 110.
A 5.7 magnitude earthquake has struck Guatemala, according to the nation's disaster agency.
There are no known reports of damage and CONRED has said "all is calm" in Guatemala despite strong shaking.
Residents and authorities remain on alert following this month's Fuego volcano eruption which devastated areas around the capital city and killed more than 100 people.
The tremor struck at a depth of 100 kilometres, the USGS says, with CONRED reporting its epicentre was less than 50km from Escuintla, the area worst hit by the Fuego eruption.
Some survivors at Escuintla have told media they have lost their entire extended family.
Overnight authorities confirmed they would be ending efforts to find nearly 200 people that are still missing following the volcano disaster.
"The search efforts are permanently suspended in the towns San Miguel Los Lotes and El Rodeo in the Escuintla municipality... the zone is uninhabitable and high risk," CONRED said in a statement on Sunday.
It's estimated nearly 3000 people have been displaced following the disaster, after their homes were swallowed by ash and dirt.
The eruption is believed to be the strongest one recorded in the last 40 years, with minor explosions still occurring.

Here's another beautiful obituary of an old friend of mine, big Ted Scallan, a veteran reporter in Belfast, written by a contemporary who has always been a fabulous writer, John Edwards, in the Daily Mail last week. It has nothing to do with Ibiza and though it certainly has nothing to do with sober life, it is about everything that led up to it for me. I hope you appreciate it and besides it made me cry.
SMOKE from overnight bombs and big fires hung in streaks over the small brick houses of West Belfast and waited for a wind to blow it off to sea. Only a few bombs.
Also, the body count was really low for those bad times in the Seventies. Three or maybe four is what the police were saying.
And Ted Scallan went to work in the morning a little later than usual. He walked down to Monico's bar in Queen's Arcade and tapped the window with a bunch of keys. The guy inside was finishing cleaning and opened the door wide for Ted. The tap of the keys was as distinctive as his voice.
That was a couple of minutes before nine-thirty. Which was Ted's time for the first drink of the day. Monico's then was always the place.
The barman put up coffee and a scotch and water. Ted had the scotch first.
Then he smiled as if an angel had touched his lips. Now he was off and running, and the IRA or the UDA couldn't throw a thing at him that would spoil the rest of his day.
This was his city. He loved every dangerous, grubby square inch of it. And nearly all the people, whichever side they were on.
Sometime in the next eight hours, he would be along to the Daily Mail office in High Street by the big clock and telex the most incisive account of politics and mayhem that appeared anywhere in the newspapers next morning.
This was Ted Scallan's game.
Hardball. He was the best and the last. Never again were there going to be guys like Scallan.
They are not around like him in the reporting trade any more. All gone. The era is stuffed into history. He talked of stories and long drinks. The new people began talking of gyms and carrot juice. Ted knew nothing of it.
He liked to stand at all sorts of bars and the news came to him from the people involved. Which is how he was at Monico's, a roll of morning papers under his arm.
After Monico's, he was through some back alleys to the Red Barn.
Ted hit it every day about 10am. It was his alternative office.
They left the door open a little bit for him so he wouldn't have to knock.
As he walked in, the barman turned and hit the whisky Optic twice. Ted poured his own water. A phone was on the wall. No mobiles then.
He threw a ton of small change on the bar and started making calls.
Every day was the same.
The guy could drink like a champ but his morning eyes were clear like a kitten's.
What was that, Ted? The call had seemed ferocious. 'Some fellow I know, that's all.' This fellow could have been at the head of the IRA or the UDA. Ted went to the top for information. He was trusted.
'Why don't you spend a night with the IRA?' he said to you with about four scotches gone already. WHO could fix it? He said nothing, walked over to the phone and made a call. 'A man will be in touch with you. Do what he says,' Ted said after the call.
Three nights later and a black taxi driver came and took you to a dark, smelly ground-floor room in the Markets district.
The IRA man in the place was called Joe. In the back of the room, a woman was monitoring British Army patrol two-way calls on a huge Sony radio. She was telling IRA groups in the city where the patrols were heading. It was good stuff.
Ted fixed that because he knew people in bars. There wasn't much he couldn't fix. Only two drinks in the Red Barn. Now the office. He checked in.
As boss, he gave reporters assignments and looked at the messages. For most of the rest of the day, he would be at one of those numbers, he said. The numbers were on a card stuck to the wall. There were 30 numbers. All of them pubs.
Ted crossed the streets day after day, limped a little bit down another alley and got into the Morning Star right on opening hour.
He drank some more whisky and talked privately to a man who just happened to drop in. The man was a senior cop. The cop left. Ted got out a notebook and made a few notes.
He had his story for the day. THE Albert pub got the skip. Ted needed to see a contact.
The contact was from the Bus Company. Drivers knew and saw everything.
Ian Paisley was around. Ted liked Paisley. They had friendly fights.
Paisley smelled the air and looked hard at Scallan. 'I see you've been cavorting with John Barleycorn again,' he said.
There was the Albert to have a drink in. The Crows Nest was next, The Blackthorn just before.
Late afternoon in the office, Ted faced the telex machine and they talked to each other like old friends.
He belted out his story. His stuff went straight onto the front page.
In the evening, the steep stairs into Frank McGlade's were never a problem. McGlade's was the city's big newspaper bar. But nobody in there had covered the patch like Scallan.
He checked the visitor's book to see who was new. One day he saw the signatures of Major Bowes-Lyon of the British Army and Seamus Toomey, IRA Chief-of-Staff, signed in the same afternoon.
McGlade's was serious. Only no one in there could tell Ted anything he didn't know. That was how the life of a real newspaperman in Belfast was back in the Seventies. Scallan was right there on top of the biggest running Story in the world.
Lots of friends were around his wife Annie the other day talking of his legend. Then, he came by in his coffin going into Roselawn Cemetery. He was 71. And his life had been like nobody can even understand today.

1. Caperonia castaneifolia , Hist. Pl. Remarq. Brésil. 3/4: 245. 1825. (as castanefolia).
Herbs, 30–140 cm; indumentum of nonglandular hairs. Stems erect, glabrescent or sparsely hairy, hairs fine, usually appressed; older stems 6–13 mm diam. Leaves: petiole 0.3–1.5 cm; blade linear, linear-lanceolate, lanceolate, narrowly ovate, or elliptic, 5–15 × 0.4–3 cm (L/W = (2–)4–24), base narrowly acute, apex narrowly acute, acute, or obtuse, surfaces glabrescent or sparsely appressed-hairy. Inflorescences 1.5–7 cm, peduncle 0.5–3 cm, fertile portion 0.7–5 cm, with 1–2 pistillate flowers. Staminate flowers: petals narrowly obovate, 2–2.3 mm, often unequal, exerted well beyond calyx. Pistillate flowers: sepals ovate or elliptic, longest 2–2.4 mm, becoming 3–4.5 mm in fruit; petals 1.9–2.9 mm; ovary densely covered in bulbous-based, nonglandular trichomes. Capsules 5–6 mm wide, trichomes conic proximally, hairlike distally, nonglandular. Seeds pale brown, 3 mm diam.
Flowering and fruiting Aug–Nov. Shallow water or wet margins and banks of ditches, canals, marshy areas, lakes; 0–30 m; introduced; Fla.; Mexico, West Indies, Central America, South America.
Native to tropical America from Mexico and the West Indies to Brazil, Caperonia castaneifolia is known in the flora area from southern Florida and from one isolated population in Sumter County in central Florida. Collections in the flora area date from the late 1960s; older records attributed to this species appear to have been based on misidentified specimens of C. palustris. A report from Mississippi (C. T. Bryson and D. A. Skojac 2011) also was based on a misidentified specimen of C. palustris.
Caperonia castaneifolia is easily distinguished from C. palustris by the lack of glandular hairs, and also differs in its tendency to have thicker stems, narrower leaves, shorter inflorescences with fewer pistillate flowers, and larger staminate petals. Both species exhibit considerable inter-individual (and to a lesser extent within-individual) variation in leaf blade shape, but in the flora area, C. castaneifolia more frequently has narrower, linear or linear-lanceolate leaves.


People living with advanced dementia become increasingly withdrawn, isolated and 'locked-in'. Since there is currently no cure for the devastating disease, finding new ways to improve a person's quality of life and help them live well with the disease are urgently needed. The Ludic Artefacts Using Gesture & Haptics (LAUGH) research project, led by Professor Cathy Treadaway at Cardiff Metropolitan University, aims to do just that – through designing innovative playful objects that amuse, comfort, engage and bring joy to people living with advanced dementia.
Dementia is one of the biggest challenges facing society today. 46 million people globally have been diagnosed with the debilitating condition that can affect memory, cognition, perception, behaviour and cause profound anxiety and confusion. As the disease progresses, people living with dementia often become increasingly withdrawn and need specialist care in residential or nursing homes. By 2050, the number of people living with the disease is predicted to rise to 131.5 million.
Currently there is no cure for dementia and so finding ways of improving the quality of life of people living with the disease is more important than ever. There are very few products available that have been explicitly designed to assist with the care of people in the later stages. Cathy Treadaway, Professor of Creative Practice at Cardiff Metropolitan University, is the Principal Investigator of LAUGH (Ludic Artefacts Using Gesture & Haptics) project that is designing for people living with advanced dementia. The project aims to develop playful objects to stimulate fun, joy and laughter and promote 'in the moment' sensory experiences. Ludic or playful play has been shown in Prof Treadaway's previous research to have positive benefits to health and wellbeing. LAUGH research aims to shed light on the various ways in which playfulness, hand-use and gesture can stimulate positive emotion. This knowledge is being used to inform the design of playful objects to support wellbeing in advanced dementia care.
LAUGH is a three-year international interdisciplinary design research project based in Wales, at Cardiff Metropolitan University's Centre for Applied Research in Inclusive Arts and Design (CARIAD), and is funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council (grant: AH/M005607/1). The project is partnered by leading charities in the field and the research is guided by an expert group of advisors with relevant dementia experience, working in health and social care.
LAUGH researchers use a 'Compassionate Design' approach. This is a method of designing, pioneered by Treadaway that places loving-kindness at the heart of the design process. It advocates that designs for advanced dementia should be personalised, to help the person retain a sense of self and dignity; sensory, so they stimulate a persons' senses and encourage them to experience being 'in the moment' (not requiring memories of the past or thoughts of the future to enjoy them); and connecting, so that the person living with dementia remains connected to the world and to the people around them.
Compassionate Design is influenced by Positive Psychology, a field of psychology that is concerned with positive aspects of human life, such as happiness, wellbeing and flourishing. Research has shown that spontaneous playfulness, fun and laughter have enormous wellbeing benefits for all, including people living with dementia. Studies have also shown that purposeful activities, involving the hands, can boost positive thinking and lift depression.
LAUGH researchers work with an interdisciplinary team of experts including health professionals, academics, carers, care managers, representatives from dementia charities, technologists, artists, designers and people living with dementia. Six participatory creative workshops have been held to explore the importance of playfulness, memory, positive emotion and hand use in designing for advanced dementia. Methods used by the research team have encouraged participants to be creative and playful in order to reflect on their own personal experiences, and those of people living with advanced dementia with whom they live or work. Working in conjunction with the project partner, Pobl Gwalia Care, and in collaboration with residents' families and carers, the LAUGH team have developed and evaluated six playful hand-held objects for people living with advanced dementia. Each object is highly personalised and has been informed by the preferences and life history of the person for whom the object was intended. Three examples of these are described in the following sections.
Many residents living with advanced dementia are chair- or bed-bound and due to their communication difficulties often receive few visitors. The LAUGH team designed 'Hug' for a lady who was considered by her carers to be in the final stages of the disease. She talked and ate little, was chair-bound, and no longer socialised with the other residents. Her carers told the research team that what she needed most of all was a hug. In response to this brief, a long-armed, soft cushion-like wearable object was developed, with the hands and feet weighted to replicate the sensation of a hug. The object was made out of a furry fleece textile that is soft and comforting to touch. 'Hug' has a simple floppy head with sleepy eyes, nose and mouth; the weight and form is evocative of a sleeping child. Digital technologies were used to replicate the sensation of a rhythmic heartbeat, and when moved, sensors activate a microcontroller and speakers inside the body cavity to play the residents' favourite music. 'Hug' has been a huge success from the outset. As soon as she received 'Hug', the resident snuggled into it, rested her head and closed her eyes to enjoy the sensation of the heartbeat and music. A few moments later, to the amazement of the care staff, she spoke a few words for the first time in many weeks. In the subsequent three months, the research team returned to the care home to qualitatively evaluate the object and its affect on the resident. Professional care staff in the care home corroborated the research teams' observations of positive change, reporting that they were convinced that 'Hug' had improved the resident's wellbeing. They reported a significant drop in her number of falls, her appetite had returned, as had her desire to communicate and socialise with other residents. Her hands that had initially been twisted into tight fists had opened and relaxed over the three months of the study and she had regained the use of her fingers.
The team designed and created an imitation steering wheel for a male resident who had worked as a car mechanic and had loved driving throughout his active life. The steering wheel contains electronics that cause gentle vibration when held, replicating the sensation of a running car engine. It also has working indicators, a dashboard with winking lights and a tune-in radio to play preselected favourite music. The resident was able use the object while sitting in his wheelchair or when confined to bed. On one occasion observed by the research team, the resident drove his carers on an imaginary road trip to the seaside to buy ice cream. The patient's body language and facial expressions clearly showed that he was having a very good time. Carers noted that this joyful experience resulted in the most interaction and communication they had ever had with the resident.
People living with advanced dementia often gain great pleasure from fiddling with physical objects, as the sensory properties are satisfying, soothing and can help calm agitation. Interesting textiles, fabrics and threads, as well as buttons, zips and poppers can aid 'in the moment' sensory experiences, especially for people who are chair- or bed-bound and unable to physically do very much. Four pieces of bespoke hand-held jewellery were designed for a resident who particularly liked beads and had enjoyed craft activities like sewing and knitting throughout her active life. In the first evaluation, the carer noted that the jewellery prompted her to utter the longest sentence she had spoken in many months, and had even evoked emotional memories from her past. Over subsequent months the jewellery was observed to give her comforting tactile experiences, and stimulated deeper connections with her carers and visitors.
LAUGH research shows how it is possible to bring playfulness and joy to the lives of even the most hard to reach people living with advanced dementia. The examples above followed the principles of Compassionate Design by prioritising sensory stimulation, personalisation and connection. Given the predicted increase in the numbers of people living with advanced dementia, there is clearly a growing need for innovations that assist their care. The LAUGH project has shown that playful objects designed in this way are not only effective, but can help maintain the wellbeing, dignity and personhood of some of the most vulnerable people in society.
Why is it important to research how to improve the wellbeing of people living with dementia, rather than perhaps looking at cures for the disease?
While scientific research is busy seeking for a cure for dementia, there are many thousands of people who are currently living with the condition. Even if a cure is found tomorrow, it is likely to be some years before treatments can be rolled out in the community. In a compassionate caring society, each individual life is of value. It is vital that we should be concerned with enabling those with a diagnosis of dementia to live well with the condition and have the best quality of life possible.
What has your research shown about how different objects can improve wellbeing, encourage people living with dementia to live in the moment and help them make connections with people?
By creating bespoke highly personalised objects we are able to help maintain the dignity of the person living with dementia, even when they no longer remember for themselves who they are. Their personal preferences, such as favourite music, colours, hobbies that once gave them pleasure, can influence the design that can stimulate pleasurable emotional memories. By focusing on sensory experiences, particularly touch and sound, it is possible to keep experiences 'in the moment' so that they don't rely on memory of the past or require cognitive processes that are compromised in dementia.
How do you approach the design of these objects?
Our design process places compassion for the person at the heart of the process. Initially we meet the person living with dementia, their families and professional carers to develop a 'portrait'. This includes personal history, significant life events, career, family information and personal preferences. A co-design process, involving key experts such as carers, health professionals and technologists is used to scope potential ideas and then the LAUGH researchers use their design skills to refine ideas and develop prototype objects. These are tested, first by the carers for safety and appropriateness, and then evaluated in a series of visits to the person living with dementia in the residential care home.
What impact has your work had on the people living with dementia and care home personnel with whom you have worked?
The work impacts on everyone involved. The care professionals and members of the research team have observed how the playful objects have improved the wellbeing of the people we have been working with. Sometimes the changes are small and momentary but others seem to be significant and ongoing, including reduction in falls, increased appetite, greater communication – and laughter! Carers report positive responses to the objects, not only because they see improved wellbeing of the residents, but also because they assist them to perform their caring role, making communication and interaction easier.
What aspects of the research – be it the findings or experiences you've had along the way – have surprised you the most?
Probably the most surprising aspect of the research has been the huge impact relatively simple playful objects have had on people living with such a complex and distressing disease. The power of playfulness and laughter is enormous and it is vital for wellbeing. The people we have been working with are nearing the end of their lives and it has been a real privilege to work with them, their families and carers. Without the contribution of our expert advisors and participants, and the skill and expertise of the research team, none of this work would have been possible.
Professor Cathy Treadaway's research has evolved from her practice as a designer and her interest in technology and creativity. Previous projects explore aspects of creativity including: playfulness, materiality, hand-use and sensory experience. This has led to her current research examining playfulness in adult life and its relationship to wellbeing. She leads a research team at the Centre for Applied Research in Inclusive Arts and Design (CARIAD) who are designing playful objects to enhance the wellbeing of people with advanced dementia.
Cathy Treadaway is Professor of Creative Practice at Cardiff Metropolitan University and a founder member of the Centre for Applied Research in Inclusive Arts and Design (CARIAD).

The Violet is named after the beautiful Violet Chirita, a delicate purple-flowered plant that grows nowhere else but on the rocky slopes of Halong Bay. Like her namesake, The Violet is small and exquisite.
The Violet has two special deluxe rooms. We named them Water and Mountain – the elements of Halong Bay. And they are individually designed. The Water Deluxe has a king bed and a soft white ocean-like ambiance surrounds the room.
The Mountain comes with twin beds and carries a more yellowish tone. Both cabins are equipped with elegant furnishings and attention-to-detail artifacts. They are located on the main deck with 36sqm floor space and have a private balcony (6sqm). The bathroom is made of Italian marble with a walk-in shower and a Jacuzzi.
Amenities: Individually controlled air conditioner, mini bar, in-house phone, safety box, LCD screen, DVD player, table, lounge chair, bath robe, Jacuzzi, hair dryer, tea and coffee facility.
The Violet Suites read like a romantic fairytale. The four are called Dragon, Phoenix, Moon and Cloud (Twin). As with the Deluxe all four are appointed with its singularly designed 1930 Indochine décor. Large windows offer a full view to the Bay. While the Phoenix and Dragon come more in reddish hue with golden or silver deco elements and fabrics, the Cloud and the Moon have a rather dreamy-white or wistful sky-blue outfit. All of them pay meticulous attention to detail: plush king solid wood beds, exotic dark furniture, charming fabrics and decorative walls and ceilings paintings. Specifically designed to create that exquisite regal aura. The suites sit on the upper deck with 38sqm space including stunning views of the bay from the private balcony (5sqm).
8:00: pickup at the hotel in Hanoi for 4 hour-drive transfer to Halong bay.
Spa services are available after lunch and throughout the cruise. There is a menu of available services in your cabin. You may book services with Spa staff after lunch or at any time with any of the boat's management or guide staff.
16.00 Arrive at the Cua Van floating fishing village area. Upon arrival we will transfer by tender to Tien Ong cave. There are many caves in Halong Bay, but Tien Ong is the most recently explored and opened for public access. In 2007 a team of Vietnamese archeologists conducted extensive research which led to the discovery of human bones and artifacts dating to 10,000 – 8,000 BC. The cave has a wide, but short entrance which is said to resemble the shape of a frog's mouth. The cave is 5 meters above sea level and is 50 meters deep and covers 1000 square meters, almost evenly split into two chambers. We will tour the cave for about 15 minutes. From the cave we will re-board the tender and make the short trip to the village. There are two options for exploring the village. One option is to transfer on small bamboo boats rowed by the local people. The second option is to travel by kayak (self-rowed). The kayaking option is $15 per person.
11:00 Disembark in Tuan Chau New Marina. !
09.15 Arrive at the Surprise cave, the biggest cave in Ha Long Bay with 10,000 square meters, when you visit the cave like our Vietnamese house with three chambers as lobby, dining room and bedroom with most beautiful stalagmites and stalactites.We will tour the cave for about 60 minutes.
14.30 Depart form the Pearl Farm Village area and sail for the Titop island to rejoin the main boat.
21.00 Short presentation is given about Halong Bay in the dining room..
07.45 Transfer by tender to the island. There is a beach for swimming and you may also hike to the top of the island for great views and photo opportunities. The hike involves walking up about 400 stone steps; it normally takes about 10-15 minutes to the top. If you plan on hiking please be sure to wear proper footwear. We will spend about 45 minutes on the island.
08.45 Upon return to the boat you will have time to freshen up and finish packing. Please remove all of your belongings from the cabins, you may leave heavy luggage outside of the cabins (staff will transfer directly to the pier). Depart for Tuan ChauMarina.
09.30 Breakfast served in the dining room. We will settle bills after breakfast. Relax on the sundeck or in the dining room enjoying the bay scenery as we approach the pier.
11:00 Disembark atHeritage Line Lounge in Tuan Chau New Marina!

Elena Ferrante translates beautifully to TV
November 15, 2018 By Ann Morgan in Europe, Events, Post-world Tags: adaptation, books, culture, Elena Ferrante, Italy, Neapolitan novels, translation, TV review	6 Comments
I owe a lot to Italian literary sensation Elena Ferrante (and her English-language translator Ann Goldstein). Had it not been for the first of her Neapolitan novels, My Brilliant Friend, I might not have continued to review international literature on this blog after my 2012 year of reading the world came to an end.
The fact that I did so is testimony to the power of Ferrante's work. I encountered it when Daniela Petracco at Ferrante's English-language publisher, Europa Editions, contacted me about the Neapolitan series in 2014. I tried the first novel and was hooked. More, I knew I had to tell people about the books. And so my regular Book of the Month slot was born.
Last night, I had another Ferrante-related treat. I got the chance to preview the first episode of the eight-part adaptation of My Brilliant Friend in advance of its release on Sky Atlantic next week. I loaded up the episode and sat down on the sofa with that mixture of excitement and trepidation that reimaginations of loved books often inspire. Would this new incarnation do justice to Ferrante's masterpiece? Would the onscreen world match my picture of it? And would the spirit of the story of the friendship between Lila and Elena in the brutal world of mid-20th century Naples thrive in this new medium?
Yes, is the short answer. The menace that so absorbed me in my first encounter with My Brilliant Friend is very much in evidence. Director Saverio Costanzo expertly captures the sense of threat woven through Ferrante's story, using darkness, stillness and silence interspersed by short bursts of violent action and noise. Many of the most memorable episodes, such as Melina's breakdown during the departure of her married lover and the savage punishment meted out by Don Achille to a man who speaks against him, throb with vitality.
This power is augmented by the use of observation and overlooking in the episode. The apartment building that provides the setting for much of the action is brilliantly chosen: from its small metal balconies, as in Ferrante's novel, the inhabitants watch, hear and comment upon their neighbours' dramas, providing an arresting visual metaphor for the claustrophobic poverty in which they live.
The quieter moments are compelling too. Some of the most striking scenes occur in the classroom, where Lila's brilliance and unruliness make her at once powerful and vulnerable, particularly when she is obliged to pit her wits against rivals. Here, scenes often run longer than they might in other series, relying on Ludovica Nasti and Elisa Del Genio, the superbly cast child actors, to hold viewers' attention.
It is also a delight to witness the story unfolding in its original language (with English subtitles). Although I imagined my way into Lila and Elena's world through Goldstein's translation, there was a magic in hearing the events presented in Italian. This was particularly true for the voiceover sections, which in common with many novel adaptations, such as Bruce Miller's recent version of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, are lifted, at least partly, from the book.
Four years after I first visited Ferrante's Naples, I found myself falling in love with it all over again. I'll certainly be tuning in for episode two.
Episode one of My Brilliant Friend, directed by Saverio Costanzo, airs on Sky Atlantic on 19 November at 9pm.

It is a wonderful book. I am just reading it…
The first episode premieres Sunday night here is Canada. I can't remember if I have been this excited about a TV series. Thanks for your review, Ann.
suzannedavis11 says:
I enjoyed the first volume better than the second. The translation somehow captures the essence of Italian for the English reader. The television presentation with subtitles is worth the effort to view and read and listen at the same time.
Rachel Smith says:
Arghh! I am reading the fourth novel now and would LOVE to see the adaptation, but don't have Sky! I don't know much about subscription TV – will it ever become available on 'mainstream' TV or do these things stay forever on the subscription channels? PS I also love your reviews, and have ordered the Polar bear book for my holiday reading 🙂 xx
I suspect it will become available to buy as a boxset at some point – if I find out more I'll put an update here! Enjoy the Polar bear!

Reflections from Granada on the Place of Islam in Europe
In this talk, I want to explore practices of historical reflection grounded in the city of Granada's Moorish architectural heritage. From the publication of Washington Irving's Tales of Alhambra, in 1823, up through today, Granada has been a highly celebrated destination for travelers and tourists, drawn by the sublimity of its romantic oriental splendor. Yet, although the city is well known for the orientalist fantasy it puts on display for touristic consumption, here I want to consider forms of reflection that cannot be encompassed within the protocols of discourse and experience mobilized by the tourist industry, and that indeed, may challenge those protocols and the assumptions about history and geography they entail. Specifically, drawing on the works of writers, thinkers, and poets from the mid-19th century to the present, I trace a tradition of reflection that engages the city's unique history and architectural configuration as the basis from which to reassess Spain's relation to Islam, North Africa, and the Middle East. I conclude the talk with some general observations on the way the material infrastructure of Moorish Spain mediates and conditions the possibilities of finding a place for Islam in the country today.

New Study: unionization pays off for community college instructors
A recently released study found that "being represented by a union pays big financial dividends for full-time instructors at community colleges."
Peter Schmidt writing in the Chronicle of Higher Education reports:
Depending on the size, location, and public-financing sources of their institution, unionized full-time instructors earn from about 5 to 50 percent more in pay and benefits than do their nonunionized peers at similar community colleges, says a paper summarizing the study's results.
"The differences are stunning," says Stephen G. Katsinas, a professor of higher education at the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa who is one of the study's three co-authors.
Among the forces influencing how much community colleges pay their instructors, "collective bargaining, in itself, matters," says Mr. Katsinas, who plans to present the study's findings in New York on Sunday, at an annual conference held by the National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education and the Professions.
Other research on the impact of collective bargaining on faculty pay has struggled to quantify how much differences in instructors' earnings were attributable to unionization versus other contributing factors, such as differences in institutional size or in the regions that colleges served.
Mr. Katsinas and other scholars reached conclusions similar to the new study's in a 2006 analysis of community-college data, but that effort was hampered by a reliance on outdated data on where unions existed. It also failed to take into account 113 institutions — among them, large community-college districts such as Miami-Dade — that could not be factored into an analysis of community colleges under the classification scheme used by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
The new analysis uses a modified classification scheme to factor in the previously excluded institutions, which include community colleges that either offer four-year degrees or are offshoots of four-year public institutions, as well as public baccalaureate colleges that primarily offer associate degrees. It uses federal data on faculty earnings from the 2010-11 academic year, the last for which the Education Department collected information on benefits.
"There are amazing differences in monetary compensation of full-time faculty across the landscape of community colleges when geography, collective bargaining, and local appropriations are all accounted for," the new study concludes.
On average, it found, unionized full-time faculty members annually received pay and benefits amounting to about $95,000 at community colleges that received a significant share of their funds from local governments and about $77,000 at community colleges that lacked such a local source of financial support. Nonunionized faculty members received less than $68,000 in pay and benefits, on average, regardless of where their community college derived its tax revenue.
The size of the community college where a faculty member worked and the type of community it served also made a big difference.
At the top of the pile, full-time faculty members at suburban, multicampus, locally financed community colleges annually earned an average of nearly $106,000 in pay and benefits. At the bottom, such faculty members at small, rural, locally financed community colleges earned total compensations averaging just over $61,000.
The other authors of the new study were Nathaniel J. Bray, an associate professor of higher-education administration at the University of Alabama, and Barry R. Mayhall, a doctoral student in higher education at Alabama and a mathematics instructor at Snead State Community College, in Boaz, Ala. The paper on their findings will be released after next week's conference.

The Lakers appear to be nearing a deal for a wing.
Los Angeles is finalizing a deal to acquire Reggie Bullock from the Pistons, according to a report from The Athletic, which cites unidentified league sources. Detroit will receive guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and a second-round pick in the trade.
Bullock is averaging a career-high 12 points and 2.7 rebounds in 30.7 minutes per game for the Pistons this season. He's shooting 41 percent from the field and 38.4 percent from 3-point range.
Bullock has also played for the Clippers and Suns during his six NBA seasons. He's a career 39.6 percent shooter from behind the arc.
Meanwhile, the Lakers selected Mykhailiuk in the second round of the 2018 draft. He's tallied 3.2 points per game in limited minutes for the team as a rookie.
The Lakers had been discussing trading for Pelicans star Anthony Davis, but those negotiations reportedly stalled Tuesday. They've also been linked to Bulls forward Jabari Parker.
Los Angeles dropped to 27-27 this season when it fell to the Pacers in Indiana on Tuesday.

The Anchor Cable is a versatile, rugged cable that can be used to charge your iPhone, Android devices, Kindle tablets, USB-C MacBook, and much more.
One of the drawbacks of owning a plethora of portable devices is that is brings with it the need to carry a multitude of cables. The Anchor Cable is one cable that tries to rule them all.
Anchor Cable is the world's first stainless steel, magnetic, cross-device charging cable featuring Apple Lightning, microUSB, and USB-C tips, and comes with a lifetime warranty.
The Anchor Cable does this by having swappable tips for the three connector types, with the tips being held in place during use with a strong neodymium magnet. Swapping ends is as easy as popping one off and attaching the required one, and the magnet means that there's no chance of connecting it the wrong way.
The Anchor Cable is 4 foot long (1.2 meters for you metric types), and its entire length is wrapped in a strong stainless steel casing, giving it strength, durability, and tangle-resistance. However, rather oddly, the outer stainless steel armor still feels soft to the touch and flexible in use.
In use the Anchor Cable works well. It's nice only needing to carry around a single cable (as long as you have the tips you need - more on this later), and I've not come across any compatibility issues when using it to charge a broad range of devices.
Are there any downsides? I have encountered a few.
First there's the length. It's nice having a 4-foot long cable, but sometimes it feels a little too long. It's a minor gripe, but personally I'm used to 3-foot and 6-foot lengths.
A couple of the downsides relate to the tips themselves. First, the tips are small, and small things, especially when they enter my personal Temple of Chaos, have a habit of vanishing without a trace. I've not lost any of them - yet - but some method of storing them safely would be useful.
Another issue I've found is that it's possible for the cable to detach from the tip during charging, and yet stay in place enough to still look like it's charging. Unless the cable and the tip are perfectly aligned, and the weight of the cable and the device are well supported, this is a problem you can run into.
Oh, and you also need pretty decent fingernails to pull the tips out of the device you've used them in. You can't remove them by pulling on the cable.
Again, a minor one, but something to be aware of.
The Anchor Cable is priced singly at $38/£29 and is available from AnchorCable.com.


The reason for this is abundantly clear: Satisfying the world's appetite for meat contributes to global warming in a massive way. More massive than most people realize, according to a new report from the non-profit, non-governmental thinktank Chatham House. Why don't more people understand the environmental impact of livestock? When it comes to global warming, meat is the pig, cow, and chicken in the room that nobody wants to talk about.
Yup, right there. Don't know them, don't trust them. I've seen too many non-profit, non-governmental, thinktanks say crap that is downright flat out BS. Burn me once, shame on you, burn me twice, shame on me. I would like to see where their contributions come from to fund them. I'd also like to see this online survey they did. I've asked at least 100 people if they've heard of it and nobody has any clue. Now, I know that's like less than 1% of the people on the planet, but still, you'd think at least one of them would have heard of it. Especially since a few of them were vegetarian/vegan and one was a militant vegan.
You give me raw data and I'll show you whatever you want to see.
Either way, I'm not going to decrease the amount of meat I eat because someone says it's causing global warming. Period. Done.
How about focusing on the food, we focus on ways of making vehicles cleaner. Or energy plants cleaner. Or how about some of these big wigs in Washington and in the corporate sectors start flying commercial instead of private jets, etc.
Either way, I know I'm going to get lambasted for this one and my opinion on it, but…it's my opinion and it's my blog. If you don't like it, don't read it.

YOU probably remember the original Shock Stikk margin pole for dominating big carp down the edge.
Well this latest incarnation is even stronger, with a hefty 35 elastic rating, and it's still an effective and safe hauler, report Middy.
A specialist piece of kit for fooling those 'kerb crawlers' you'll find a bigger bore top section on the Revolution35, to handle bigger elastics. I've heard that you can even rig it with 3.5 mm diameter catty elastic if you want to step up further.
This one already comes ready elasticated and bushed with 26-30 hollow Hi-Viz, so it's pretty well ready to go for some close-quarters bagging.

...how comfortable are you with leaning on Charles Godfrey again?
How does Robert Lester fit into the equation?
Godfrey will be gone. I don't think it's even a question. We could get 3 Godfrey's for what Hurney paid and save like 5.1 by releasing him.
I didn't think he was terrible. He did make some plays. Often times he was out of position because he was covering for another terrible safety we used to have. Maybe he and Mitchell can do some good together so long as Mitchell is resigned.
Mitchell better be back! Lester has shown that he can play. I'm not sure why both Lester and Klein were given less opportunity down the stretch. Do I think Lester is a starter? Probably not but he def deserve more snaps than this. Lester has shown that he's already better than Godfrey fo sure tho.
But, this is why we should go with "Calvin Pryor" at no28.
Mitchell can and should be retained.
Godfrey stunk. Don't need to restructure him. Just part with him. He will be coming off a bad injury as well.
If he gets the same amount of pressure Mitchell was afforded this year and can come back from the injury without major setback, Godfrey won't represent any drop off. That's a lot of "ifs" though. Really it will come down to $$$.
Lester is an unknown, but I'd be cautious to leave it up to an unknown.
Mitchell I fully believe he will stay here. We gave him a chance, I'm sure he appreciates it and he was a pretty vocal leader on this defense. Godfrey I'm not sure should have ever been converted to safety, he was a CB coming out of Iowa. I would like to know how he is evaluated as a nickel back or something.
I was thinking the same thing. However, he was a rookie coming into a playoff game bc of injury. I'll keep an open mind for one more season before deciding on him though.
He played pretty well though throughout the season. May be wrong, but seems like he may have been dinged up, and also, he isn't the first Panther to have a bad playoff game. It was a shame Mikel went down.
I think Mitchell and DG will work something out.

Planning approval has been granted for the scheme, which will use funds raised from the sale of new homes to redevelop community facilities.
The sale of 31 residential units is set to cover the costs of redeveloping the Highgate Newtown Community Centre (HNCC) and Fresh Youth Academy (FYA).
Riba award-winning architects RCKa have received planning approval for the 3,000 sq mt site within the Dartmouth Park Conservation Area, after two years of extensive stakeholder and community consultation.
The scheme has been commissioned by Camden Council as part of their Community Investment Programme.
The existing 1950s single and two or three storey buildings are due to be demolished and replaced with taller buildings.
The proposed building heights were lowered in response to comments from the local community, and have been designed to be in keeping with the surrounding terraces and mansion blocks.
The Mission Hall on Winscombe Street will be kept and converted into two new houses.
The profit from the sales will go towards transforming the current closed cul-de-sac layout into an open public courtyard, with residents sharing communal spaces with HNCC and FYA users.
The new community facilities will include a main hall, café, ceramics studio, art room, woodwork studio, roof garden, community forum space and office space for physiotherapy and psychology sessions, arranged as a series of interconnected, flexible spaces.
The HNCC and FYA will have separate entrances but be connected through a shared ground floor hall and a first floor garden terrace.
RCKa designed the site around the concept of a carved tree trunk, with the outer edges to be covered in rough mottled grey brickwork to mimic the bark of a tree, whilst the interior elevations and recessed details will be realised in red patterned brickwork.
Arched windows, window boxes and covered walkways will echo the existing local architecture, highlighted by the soft metallic and gold window linings and balustrades.
Formed in 2008 by Tim Riley, Russell Curtis and Dieter Kleiner, RCKa is a practice with a focus on community projects and socially responsive architecture.

Yann Le Gall established himself as a high honors student during his freshman year at Sewickley Academy in Sewickley PA, and has continued to be a leader among his peers both in and outside of the classroom.
A Renaissance man of sorts, Yann excels across the board. He is driven to go beyond merely "knowing that" to also "knowing how" and "knowing why." Growing up in a bilingual, bicultural, and biracial family, Yann has learned to probe deeply and to look beyond surface differences to find underlying unity. He brings this penchant for abstract conceptual thought to his studies. His AP Biology teacher notes that Yann "is clearly, the intellectual leader" in the class, and his AP Chemistry teacher describes him as "particularly quick to recognize unusual applications of chemical properties and to perceive subtle connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena," and his AP History teacher notes that Yann's insights have benefited him and students by "stimulating new thinking about old issues in US History."
Yann's creative mind and pursuit of excellence have brought him recognition. In addition to being recognized in Who's Who Among American High School Students, Yann is an AP Scholar with Honor, a National Achievement Finalist, a Commended National Merit Scholar, as well as a recipient of the Bausch and Lomb Honorary Science Medal. Yann's love of scientific inquiry led him to the Bahamas in the summer of 2001 as a student member of an Earth Watch Institute research expedition conducting molecular studies of marine biodiversity, and propelled him to a 1st place finish in the 2003 regional Brain Bee, which earned him the chance to compete in the International Brain Bee sponsored by the Society for Neuroscience. Yann's belief that "excellence is a journey, not just a destination," provides him natural immunity to "senioritis:" he is conducting a research study with a molecular biologist at a local university this year for his senior project.
Rivaling his enthusiasm for the sciences is his passion for the visual arts. Yann takes classes at the Carnegie Museum of Art and at Carnegie Mellon University and has won the top prize in the annual high school competitions for three years running. In 2002, he attended the summer residential program of the PA Governor's School for Excellence in the Arts, where his art was selected for exhibition at the PA State capitol in Harrisburg. Yann is a contributing artist to his school's arts magazine and school newspaper. He shares his passion for the visual arts with elementary school children through his volunteer work with the art museum.
An avid runner and swimmer, Yann promotes attention to health and wellness among his peers. Modeling the ideal, mens sana in corpore sano, Yann has recruited peers to the cross-country team which he captained in his junior year and to more healthy lifestyles.

Bollywood star Katrina Kaif, ahead of her rumoured wedding with actor Vicky Kaushal, stepped out of her house and waved at her fans. On Sunday, several videos surfaced on social media, featuring Katrina in a white tank top and neon green joggers.
Katrina's fans were eagerly waiting to meet her. The actor patiently waved at all. A video also surfaced which featured the 'Sooryavanshi' actor posing for a selfie with a fan. Vicky and Katrina, fondly called ViKat, are just a few days away from tying the knot at Six Senses Fort Barwara, Sawai Madhopur district, Rajasthan.
It has been reported that wedding festivities will take place at the royal property from December 7 to December 9. A source has revealed that the guestlist for the wedding has been finalised to 120 members and that Vicky and Katrina will be arriving at the venue on December 6.
Filmmaker Kabir Khan, producer Amritpal Singh Bindra, and director Anand Tiwari are likely to attend the wedding ceremony. Recently, the district administration conducted a meeting to discuss law and order arrangements for the upcoming big fat wedding.
The meeting was conducted on Friday in the presence of District Collector Rajendra Kishan, Superintendent of Police Rajesh Singh, ADM Suraj Singh Negi, and representatives of the event company. Members of the hotel staff were also present in the meeting. While Katrina and Vicky's wedding rumours have been making headlines, the two have never confirmed their relationship publically.
The duo has been spotted together at several events and occasions. Recently, she made an appearance at a special screening of Vicky's film 'Sardar Udham'. (ANI)

Grub worms, the the larvae of Japanese beetles, are a scourge to any healthy lawn they invade. These C-shaped creatures are off-white in color with darker-colored heads. When lawn grubs hatch they immediately begin to feed on plant roots, eventually destroying large patches of your lawn, especially when they exist in large numbers. Read on to learn about how to keep your grass in good shape by getting rid of grub worms.
Summer: Mid-summer is when Japanese beetles lay their eggs in sunny spots on a lawn. This means it's time to act if you see signs of grubs. It can also be beneficial to take preventative measures if your lawn has fallen prey to grubs in the past. Spraying adult beetles during the summer can prevent hundreds of eggs from being laid, which prevents hundreds of adult grubs from plaguing your lawn the next season.
Autumn: Early autumn is the next best time to control your grub worm population, as this is when larvae are still small and are living close to the surface of your soil. Insecticides can be applied to the top of the soil to kill off both beetles and grubs.
Spring: spring is the least desirable season to treat for grubs. At this time of year, the bugs much less susceptible to insecticides because they are larger in size and are not feeding. Frequent rainfalls can also wash away the treatments, rendering all your hard work futile.
Commercial-grade fertilizers containing insecticidal granules.
Insecticides containing imidacloprid or halofenozide.
A well-maintained lawn can help prevent a number of lawn diseases and infestations, including grubs.
Avoid overwatering: excessive rainfall and watering help grub eggs hatch. Avoid daily waterings.
Fertilize: autumn and spring fertilization are beneficial to your lawn and can encourage thick turf that will be less attractive to beetles.
Mow high: beetles avoid longer grass when looking to lay their eggs. Keep your mower set to a higher level to avoid creating a hospitable environment for beetles.
Call Green Lawn Fertilizing at 888-581-5296 for any additional information. We'll work with you to ensure that your lawn is green, healthy, and grub-free.

I seriously cant even! They FINALLY arrived! These little cuties have been living their lives in the spotlights way before they were born! For those of you who don't know, Miss Tasha is my wonderful assistant. Some of you may have met her at a wedding, on one of my crazy busy mini session days or at an expo running the booth with me. She is also my behind the scenes manager. If it wasn't for her everything would probably still be sent by Morse code. Haha.
But back to these adorable babies! These two had their first debut around the same that big brother Oliver turned two and got to announce he was not get just one new sibling her was getting TWO! A few months later he also got to announce in a super fun gender reveal, using suckers (his favorite candy) that he was getting a baby brother and sister!
Watching Momma and these little itty peanuts (or should I say pumpkins!) grow over the next few months was so much fun!
The last week in January finally arrived, and these two were FINALLY ready to come out! Full term twinsies at 38 weeks 1 day! If your wondering why I have not mentioned their names yet, it's because they chose to not tell anyone until the babies were born. This was crazy to me because Tasha cannot keep anything in, so it was interesting that she could hold this surprise so long! It was a killer!
Baby Preston and Baby Aria made their debut on January 28th. Everything went smoothly and according to plan. Baby Preston weighing in at a whopping 7lb.1oz and baby Aria just an itty bitty 5lbs. 6 oz. both healthy as can be! These two are so perfect. Big Brother Oliver was very excited to meet them, and wanted to hold his baby brother right away!
Now, what you all have been waiting for… more pictures of the babies below!
Congrats again to all of you! Thank you guys for letting me come along on your journey. I can't wait for the many many more adventures to come!
The baby with the tie is none other than Big Brother Oliver! He was my first newborn session, and Momma loved the stacked books so much, she asked me to re-create for Preston and Aria too!

I headed out to Krueger's Christmas Tree Farm one more time for a final family session with my stylized holiday mini session props, and I was so ridiculously excited… Wahooo SNOW!!! I mean come on, it's December in Minnesota, where was the snow? Of course we would have snow in December, right? I spoke too soon… it started to get warm the couple days before this session and I kissed the winter wonderland of snow goodbye. A little stuck around, just enough to make it a wet mess, just my luck!
Pulling into Kruger's was rough.. oh the MUD!!! So so sooooo much mud!!! I embraced it and accepted I was just going to be covered in mud by the end of the day from walking, crawling, crouching and laying in it. I am bummed I didn't take a picture of the craziness, but I am sure you can imagine what my knees and calves looked like.
They definitely were the highlight of my day. Any worry I had about mud, getting stuck or slipping around disappeared when we started this session. I mean just look at little baby Lucas! Isn't he a doll! Seriously, he looks like a sweet little doll! But I swear he's real! He's just a tad too little for smiles, but he still had that pout lip that I cannot resist capturing! We managed to break ourselves away from his adorableness to get a couple gorgeous shots of Mom and Dad too! You all three look amazing!
Congrats on your new journey as parents! I look forward to see you all again!
Thank you again to Kruegers Christmas Tree Farm in Lake Elmo for allowing us to capture these amazing memories that I'm sure will be cherished forever!

I was so excited to do these holiday mini sessions outside and not in a studio! This was my very first stylized shoot where I put together this whole cute little set of favorite holiday items… My set consisted of hot cocoa, candy canes and marshmallows, lots of marshmallows, some snowflakes and cute pinecones! I had always wanted to do a session at a Christmas tree farm but being so busy this time of year, it just never happened. This year I was determined to make the time and block a day to do minis out at one! I searched all around the Twin Cities for the perfect tree farm. One that wasn't to far north or too far south, since I have so many clients all over the metro, I really wanted to make sure it would work for anyone. I stumbled upon a small family owned tree farm in Lake Elmo that is so adorable, it was perfect for my sessions. I spent a full day out at Kruger's Tree Farm in Lake Elmo, MN last weekend capturing 12 different families holiday pictures!
I started the day with the sun just coming up over the horizon. It made for a great first session of the day. The sun was in full force. It was shinning bright. But don't let that fool you it was COLD! I had a blast getting to know new clients and seeing a couple of my regulars. Thank you everyone for making this day so fun! Your sessions turned out so wonderful and I can't wait to see everyone again soon! Also, a shout out to my wonderful assistant Tasha who was 7 month pregnant (with twins!) and ran around all over the place for me!
This couple definitely had the best sun rise shots. I love when I have to use minimal editing because the sun works with me instead of against me!
Those curls! LOVE! She was very hesitant to take off her coat, but as soon as we pointed out how soft and warm her furry vest was, so was ready to take her coat off! So adorable! Baby brother was having a rough time, but thank goodness baby scrunchy faces are adorable!
These boys were so busy! Those adorable red cheeks are from running and running and more running! I was struggling to keep up, but we were still able to get some really cute ones in!
My assistant Tasha nearly lost it when these boys arrived! She is having twins and just wanted to snuggle with these two the whole session! I had to send her away onto another task so I could get them to look at me instead of them watching her!
I learned a valuable lesson from this little guy– no one comes between a boy and his bear! Thankfully Mom and Dad were ok with his bear too! Such a cutiepie!
This family is one of my regulars, and as always, they come with a basket full of smiles and refusals to be serious!
These kiddos were my only "big kids" so we were to do a little bit more fun stuff with them, like marshmallowfights, snowflake blowing, lots of giggles and snuggles with Mom! This was their first outdoor session and private photography session! I hope to hear back from them soon!
This mini may look familar, she was just on a recent newborn blog, and at two months, the smiles just poured in! Be sure to check out the adorable boots in the previous shot, I can't even!
These two were so cute! They both have such cute smiles, but neither would smile in the same picture! Silly kiddos! The wind really picked up during this session, we tried to block the wind as much as possible, but the little guy was very cold! Their family session is super cute- LOVE!
I adore taking this little ones photos, she is on my homepage and I LOVE capturing this family! She was very hesitant of my assistant, and as soon as she went away the smiles just lit up!
As always, I LOVE when clients bring little props and keepsakes to add a personal touch to sessions, and thats just what this couple did! Look at the adorable truck, hauling his little tree and presents! WHAT?! Cuteness overload!
Just wanted to add a HUGE thank you to Krueger's Tree Farm for aloowing me to capture these amazing memories for these families! It was cold, but worth every shot!

For all Core Trainees (Core Surgery-In General & Core T&O).
Compulsory for all Core Trainees (including LATs) to attend all 4 knowledge days over their two years of core training.
30 places only. Each core knowledge day will be run once each year to allow choice (over the two years of core training) for attendance.
Core knowledge days provide formal teaching linked to the ISCP curriculum. The topics are chose to include areas of knowledge that are less prominent throughout the training programme and to ensure all core trainees acquire the relevant skills and exposure prior to progression to the ST programme.
No car-parking arrangements are provided at the venues. Most hospital venues and the Deanery have limited car-parking facilities. Good bus and train links are available across the Deanery region. Trainees are advised to plan their journeys to Core Knowledge Training Days in advance and if coming by car are advised to offer a lift to colleagues.
A record of attendance will be kept by the Deanery. Attendance details are provided to your Programme Directors and will be assessed at the yearly ARCPs. Certificates will be provided for each training day to trainees, who attend, for their portfolio.
Trainees will be asked to provide anonymised feedback on each Core Knowledge Training Day. This is important for the School of Surgery to ensure that the standards of delivery and content of the teaching is maximized for Severn School of Surgery core trainees in the future.

Malvika Raaj is a name you might not remember, but you might remember her as the junior Kareena Kapoor in K3G (Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham). Cute Malvika is now 19 years old, all grown up, and has been pursuing a modeling career. In fact, the lady has turned into such a beauty she is also one of the top 18 finalists of the Miss India contest.
We will all wait and watch to see if we will see her on the silver screen soon and wish her the best of luck!


Mini Mixer. Powerful Performance. The Artisan® Mini tilt-head stand mixer makes up to 5 dozen cookies in a single batch, with the same power as the full size tilt-head Stand Mixers while being 20% smaller, 25% lighter. Artisan® Mini compared to the full size tilt head Stand Mixers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Katy26 from Amazing Everything! This is the best mixer I have ever had. It's so smooth, and really gets the job done! I recommend getting this mixer if you love to bake!
Rated 1 out of 5 by shosho from Arrived with major dents/marks I did not even get the chance to use this. I bought on an authorized dealer website and it was shipped to me. I was making plans to do a lot of baking over the Christmas holidays but I guess NOT! I opened the box, and to my dismay, the mixer looked it had been used and thrown around, had silver dents on the colored part, as well as the stainless steel part (where the Kitchenaid logo is located). Very disappointed that there is no quality control when the item leaves the factory, or that authorized resellers pass off clearly used/dented/defective/refurbished items as new ones! I will be returning this and will be tempted not to buy another one, since the same ones are out of stock in-store and I hesitate to order again online.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ella97 from Awesome mixer! I got this for Christmas and I love it! It mixes so fast and doesn't leave anything on the side unmixed.

Memorial Day Rituals | Kid Reporters' Notebook | Scholastic Inc.
One of the many cemeteries across the United States that pays homage to the fallen on Memorial Day.
A year after the Civil War (1861-1865), Americans began to officially grieve for the more than 600,000 Union soldiers who had been killed in battle. Since then, Memorial Day has been celebrated on the last Monday of every May. It is a time to honor those who have died while serving in the United States military.
People come together in communities across the country to pay their respects with parades, tributes, and ceremonies. In many cemeteries, wreaths are placed on the gravestones of fallen soldiers. Flags are flown at half-mast.
This year, on May 28, I participated in a flag ceremony at Bethesda-Chevy Chase War Memorial with my Boy Scout troop. The event honored "those men and women of the Bethesda-Chevy Chase area who gave their lives in the defense of our country." The inscriptions on the memorial, which was dedicated in 1960, included those were killed in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.

Aisha Tyler Moderating DC & Warner Bros. Panel At San Diego Comic-Con
aaronmescobar July 14, 2018 Leave a Comment
Warner Bros' two-hour Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con this year will be hosted by Aisha Tyler. This isn't Tyler's first SDCC rodeo, as she previously hosted the Warner Bros. panel in 2015, moderating the first look at Suicide Squad and the official trailer for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.
The presentation is expected to feature Warner Bros' upcoming Harry Potter spinoff/sequel Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, and Godzilla: King of the Monsters, as well as its slate of DCEU films including Aquaman, Shazam!, and Wonder Woman 1984. The first trailers for Aquaman and Shazam! are expected to be revealed during the presentation. The panel is set for Saturday, June 21 from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm PST. Tyler is also attending the Friday, June 20 panel for Archer in the Indigo Ballroom.
Tyler is not actually replacing Chris Hardwick, who moderated Warner Bros' presentation in 2017 and years prior, as he was not asked to return this year. It was confirmed, however, that Yvette Nicole Brown would be replacing Hardwick as moderator for AMC's The Walking Dead panel. Hardwick was reportedly not slated for a repeat appearance even before he was accused of abusive behavior by his ex-girlfriend Chloe Dykstra in June. Soon after the accusations were made public, Hardwick withdrew from scheduled Hall H appearances for AMC and BBC America. BBC America has yet to announce a replacement host for their panel.
Tyler is best known as the voice of Lana Kane in Archer. She was one of the co-hosts of CBS' The Talk from 2011 to 2017 and has hosted The CW's revival of Whose Line Is It Anyway? since its premiere in 2013. Tyler also hosted Ubisoft's E3 press conferences from 2012 to 2016.
Do you think Aisha Tyler was a good choice? Let us know your thoughts down below.
