How to Make It in the Music Industry
By Zoë Björnson, May 15, 2015
Not many college students can say that their life consists of meeting top artists like Nick Jonas and Adam Levine, or interning for the Grammy Awards. Jacklyn Krol can.
When this self-proclaimed music fanatic realized that popular music sites weren't giving her what she wanted, she started the music blog Stage Right Secrets to feed her appetite and offer a more unique experience to music fans fans.
Jacklyn and Nick Jonas.
"I got tired of the same interviews and questions," said the University of Indiana senior. "A lot of them were dull and I wanted to give them more life by getting the fans involved and interacting with the bands."
Beyond finding a way for fans to connect with their favorite artists on a more personal level, starting the blog was also a way for Jacklyn to explore the music industry. "I really wanted to get into the entertainment industry, but not as a performer," Jacklyn said.

Harnessing her experience, Jacklyn was able to snag an internship with The Grammys. She's started working with their Chicago office doing everything from social media to planning events.
For Jacklyn, working for The Grammys has always been a dream. "When I was 16, I met Taylor Swift and she let me hold her Grammy," she recalls. "Right then and there I said I would work for the Grammys."
As a communications and business double major, Jacklyn has found the sweet spot of creating her own blog while keeping her passions in mind. The key to her success so far has been "making mistakes so that you know what not to do," she said.

So far, Jacklyn is on the right track. When she's not interviewing her favorite music artists, she can be found coaching cheerleading, writing for Thought Catalog, and doing PR for her favorite bands.
As a seasoned about.me user, Jacklyn uses her page on business cards and throughout social media to connect with people in and out of the entertainment industry. She also uses collections to organize and remember everyone she meets.

MUMBAI: Big data analytics sector in India is expected to witness eight-fold growth to reach $16 billion by 2025 from the current $2 billion, industry experts said here.
The sector is expected to reach $16 billion by 2025 and register CAGR of 26 per cent over next five years, they said.
According to these experts, India is currently among top 10 big data analytics markets in the world and Nasscom has set a target of making the country one among the top three markets in the next three years.
"The government, industry and academia can collaborate to build an ecosystem to generate sustainable solutions by harnessing the power of big data and digital innovation," said WNS Global Services Group CEO Keshav Murugesh said.
"The combined power of harnessing big data and digital solutions can drive tremendous results in improving the citizen experience, implementation efficiency and boosting the nation's economy," added Murugesh.
Speaking at the 'Emerging Worlds Conference' workshop organised by Indian School of Design and Innovation (ISDI) in collaboration with MIT Media Labs, Murugesh said, "India is a diversified country with a wide array of challenges, and it is pertinent that we as citizens of this country, innovate to find effective solutions that can make a difference to the billion lives that live here."
"If big data can be put to cutting-edge use for our corporations and clients, it can very well be a catalyst for the economy and the country," he added.


In recent weeks the world has witnessed several truly horrific air disasters. Many hundreds of innocent people have now been killed simply by taking an aeroplane flight. Time and again, press agencies around the world have carried information on yet another air catastrophe as one disaster has followed another.
We've all seen photographs of the mourning relatives and of the carnage and destruction. This recent spate of incidents has quite naturally left its mark and especially so for the large numbers of people who are now terrified of flying. Being terrified to fly is a nightmare when a holiday abroad is already booked.
It's thought that about a quarter of the population have a fear of flying and the recent disasters have certainly added fuel to the fear of flying. Coverage of multiple air disasters is definitely bad news for airlines and also bad news for the package holiday industry.
For one UK entrepreneur though, this climate of fear and anxiety is actually helping his business to grow.
Tim Phizackerley is a one of a kind British "fear expert". He has a totally unique slant on the subject of aero-phobia (fear of flying). This is because he sells a very rapid self help treatment designed to cure the fear.
"I've seen sales of my self help system grow very significantly over the last month or so" he said.
His self help method, is currently featured on the Fear of Flying information offered by several major airports in the UK.
Fearful flyers who visit the official websites of Manchester, Stansted, East Midlands and Bournemouth airports will find his quick and easy method being suggested as a fast and affordable alternative to traditional and expensive fear of flying courses.
Tim created the self help system as a fast and easy cure for fearful flyers some time ago. More recently he teamed up with a psychologist called Peter Owen in order to help nervous flyers across the world get access.
Tim, who created the method said: "Fear of flying has many aspects and is extremely common for that reason. It's thought that around 25 percent of the population are fearful of flying. The recent air disasters have been horrific and they've definitely left more people feeling fearful."
He continues: "People are afraid of so many different things connected with flying. For one person it might be turbulence that they fear. For another it might be the takeoff or landing. Other people don't like enclosed spaces, and so on. Some people are just terrified by what they've seen in the news recently. Everyone is different. For a cure to be genuinely effective it has to work on all those fears and many more.
"My system is unique because it contains a 'fear eraser' technology. This is designed to remove all the possible aspects of the fear, and also to do this in a matter of minutes. Because you can download it to a computer or tablet you can even use it in the airport, or on the aeroplane itself. Despite recent events, flying remains much safer than car travel. The 'fear eraser' is there to help people fly and feel calm."
"Initially we met some resistance because a treatment which works this quickly seems unlikely to many people. But after letting them try it for themselves, a number of major airports are now suggesting it to flyers who want help, and more airports look set to follow."
It's also available via the official websites for Manchester Airport, Stansted Airport, East Midlands Airport and Bournemouth Airport.

About Ben Claassen III
About Ben Claassen III: (from Wikipedia)
Ben Claassen III is a comics artist and illustrator originally from New Orleans, Louisiana[1] who frequently works with non-traditional media such as stencils, long exposure photography, sign painting techniques, and the use of stop-motion animation via a Game Boy Camera. He is best known for his illustrations in Wil Wheaton's first book, Dancing Barefoot,[2] weekly illustrations in The Washington Post,[3] and for the weekly comic strip, DIRTFARM.[4]

DIRTFARM has appeared in several alternative weekly publications, including Washington City Paper, Baltimore City Paper, the Chicago Reader, Dagens Nyheter, Antigravity Magazine, The St. John Sun Times, and the Chattanooga Pulse.[5]
Claassen co-created and illustrated killoggs.com,[6][7] which was an early social media site started in 1999 that has since gone private.
In addition to his other work, Claassen keeps a daily comic journal, does work as a freelance illustrator / graphic designer, and paints large paintings (which are on permanent display at Galaxy Hut in Arlington, VA & Spacebar in Falls Church, VA).
About DIRTFARM:
DIRTFARM is a comic strip written and illustrated by Ben Claassen III that has been published in several alternative weekly newspapers since the fall of 2004. The newspaper industry has been in rapid decline over the last decade, so I've recently decided to try to find a new home for it here on Patreon.
Thank you for checking this out and reading this! I hope I can make this page (& as of late it's INSTAGRAM counterpart @dirtfarm) worthwhile of your subscription. Please get in touch with any special requests. I'm up for anything...
DIRTFARM got its start when a cartoonist named P.J. O'Ross handed down a space in the Washington City Paper where his comic STINKFISH had run for 5 years previously. STINKFISH (previously titled DIRT WOLF), was originally placed in the paper as a paid advertisement. It ran for three months at $300 a week before the editors of the City Paper ultimately decided to just let O'Ross have the space. DIRTFARM retains the same size & shape of a STINKFISH comic & has also preserved several other design elements.
DIRTFARM has a few recurring characters, but it doesn't rely on them heavily from week to week. Each comic is written more like an illustrated standup comedy bit. Individual comics depict a wide range of themes including social critique, comics about relationships, work stresses, riffs on holidays, personal stories, the mocking of trends & current events, and every now and then has gotten political (but rarely).
The comic has a unique format which allows it to be split into a variety of panel configurations (unlike most other syndicated print comics). Individual comics are more often than not split into 4, 6, or 9 panels depending on how much space a theme demands. Over the years it has run with as few as 1-3 panels and as many as 20-30 tiny panels. Each comic contains a header, a main body, and a footer which all float on top of scraps of ripped paper on top of a black background. The header usually contains some type of logo (typically introducing a main character), a title (which outlines the main theme), and some type of meta joke inside of a "Fold this" bubble in the top right hand side. The body contains the main comic which sometimes contains a serialized story and sometimes is just a series of non sequitur vignettes riffing on the main theme. The footer contains a bottom comic which works as an afterthought or extended punchline to the main comic, or sometimes stands alone and is unrelated to the main comic. This format is very flexible, and in the past has included things like internet contests, clip & save coupons, challenges and games, and once even an illustrated response to a prison inmate who wrote in asking for love advice behind bars.
DIRTFARM is drawn by hand using a brush and a variety of pens or is occasionally "inked" with a Wacom tablet, and is then scanned and formatted with Adobe InDesign. Text is sometimes hand lettered, and other times is set with a typeface (depending on time constraints). Most of the comics run in black & white, but a few have been in color. The drawing style is very simple with most characters displaying a lot of extreme facial expressions and gestures.
DIRTFARM currently runs in the following papers:
• Antigravity Magazine (New Orleans)
& has previously run in:
• Washington CityPaper (D.C.)
• Baltimore CityPaper
• Chicago Reader
• Chattanooga Pulse
• Knoxville's Metro Pulse
• St. Johns Sun Times (Virgin Islands)

The Fire that is Me.
The year 2008 changed a lot of things for me. I began with a new stint academically. I met new people, I formed new equations.I started pursuing a lot of forgotten interests. I developed some new ones. I also learnt that I could love again – I only had to try a little harder, and believe a little more.
This isn't a story about how a lot of things changed me, or about how I changed a few things around myself – that will take up a lot of time, and make for many little stories. This is about one of those little stories – about how, among all the changes, something called Polo happened to me.
The first I remember of her is on an Orkut Community for our college. She struck me as bold, really bold – and definitely not someone I could be friends with. But then, we got talking. And we would speak for hours every other day. About the man she loved and wanted to marry, about the man I loved so much but could not marry, about her cocker spaniel, about my pomeranian, about our XLRI and IIM Dads, about the active social life that she led, about the boring existence that was my life. And somewhere, in this jumbled equation of startling similarities and crazy differences, I found a friend. A rock-steady friend.
We decided that when we both moved to Chennai for our MBA, we would be roomies. I was unsure, but I needed the madness, the difference in lifestyle, the change that Polo would bring into my world. And I was really looking forward to it.
But then, I received an offer to study in Bombay. And it seemed like a practical thing to do, because my mom was alone in the city. So I chose it over the other life that I had already started to construct so imaginatively in my head.
Once the MBA course began, we lost touch. But a year and a half later, Polo's parents moved to Bombay, and soon, Polo followed, with a transfer to my campus. We finally met, and spent the last semester together.
In what would turn out to be another coincidence, we both got placed on the same day in the same organization. While choosing our locations, she opted for Gurgaon and I for Mumbai.
The day before she left, I went to meet her. Both of us were on the verge of starting another phase of our lives. This time too, we were eerily parallel.
With the jobs, staying in touch became difficult again. Once in a while, we would speak and update each other on our lives. She seemed to love her role, I hated mine.
Last year, I changed jobs and moved to a profile of my choice, a job that I love. Earlier this year, Polo got married to Anand, after more than five years of a beautiful, fulfilling courtship. I couldn't make it to the wedding.
Recently, I went to Gurgaon on an official trip, and met Polo (now Mrs. Anand!) after almost two years. Things were just the same - conversations were easy and from the heart. I told her my parents were groom-hunting and that sometimes it got scary. She told me I was "gorgeous and honest and creative and fun and caring bloody brilliant" and that "I shouldn't settle for something or someone less".
I met Anand as well, and absolutely loved the couple. Polo asked me for my approval (yes, after five and a half years of courtship and two months of wedded life!!) and I very willingly gave her the thumbs up.
I wanted to tell her that her mom-in-law hadn't the faintest clue who I was, but her earnestness, her enthusiasm were way too touching. I laughed and told her she was crazy. And we hung up grinning and went back to work.
After four years of knowing Polo, I think we were destined to connect in the craziest ways. I think back to that first day I saw her on Orkut, and of how convinced I was that she was "too cool" for me to gel well with her. I realize, off and on, that we have counted more and more similarities between our lives every now and then.
Today, four years later, she is still crazy, still bold, still unconventional, still forthright. She is also still one of the warmest, most honest, most genuine people I have known. I wonder what made us click, despite hiatuses in communication and distances in location. And I realize something that I am now putting in words for the first time…Polo and I may keep counting our similarities all our lives, but it is the differences that have kept us really strong. And for those differences, and the intermittent crisscrossing of our destinies, and for the time that something called Polo happened to me, I will always be grateful!!
Where no one will hear me.
That no one can judge.
How I long for thee.


Back in September of 2011, I wrote about her in the post, The Danger of A Single Story.

However, stories move forward and so will this blog post—toward an article in Publishing Perspectives called Adichie's Feminism Essay Given to Every 16-Year-Old in Sweden.
I've published 950 blog posts in the last 3.5 years.
I like to periodically list the top posts.
Because I'm careful when I tag my posts, most of my traffic comes from web searches.
Speaking of tags, if you scroll down a bit in the left side-bar, you can find loads of posts on many topics of interest to Readers, Writers, and Publishers.
The Top Posts widget down there is only for the last week or so of blogging.


Add an extra layer of warmth in cool weather with our team line hoodie. We like how the stripe detail on the sleeves gives this sporty cover-up a unique look. The regular fit and soft stretchy cotton ensure this hooded top does not compromise on comfort. Use the convenient front pouch pocket for stowing your valuables. Reflective trim along pocket and hood for enhanced visibility in low light.
It's made from such a comfortable material. It is good on the poolside and outside the pool. Definitely recommend it for people.

As more manufacturers begin to integrate smart machines into their production processes, employees throughout the industry seek to understand what it will mean to the factory of the future.
To understand how new industrial technology will impact employees, a team from Intel's Internet of Things Group conducted a study to find out what workers from the factory floor to the boardroom can expect in the intelligent factory of the future.
Led by Dr. Irene Petrick, industrial innovation director, and Dr. Faith McCreary, principal engineer and researcher, the global study involved interviewing 145 employees working in industrial manufacturing — including petrochemical, metal fabrication, and food and beverage companies with factories, primarily in North America.
"Current manufacturers who are considering new digital implementations need to think not just about the technology piece, but also about their workforce," said Petrick, an internationally recognized expert in strategic road mapping and innovation.

(a) The spatial density for the Haldane-like optical lattice described by equation (16), for λ = 0 and λ = 1
2013-06-24T00:00:00Z (GMT) by N Goldman F Gerbier M Lewenstein
Figure 4. (a) The spatial density for the Haldane-like optical lattice described by equation (16), for λ = 0 and λ = 1. The atoms are trapped by a harmonic potential V(r) = V0(r/r0)2, with V0 = 8J and r0 = 17a, and the lattice size is 40 × 40. The density was obtained by setting the Fermi energy to the value EF = 3J (corresponding to the maximum of the highest bulk band for λ = 0). The n coordinate is chosen to be fixed at the centre of the trap. (b) Same as (a) for λ = 1, but represented in the 2D plane x'–y'. Note the clear plateau for λ = 1, which indicates the opening of a spectral gap [44].
We describe a scheme to engineer non-Abelian gauge potentials on a square optical lattice using laser-induced transitions. We emphasize the case of two-electron atoms, where the electronic ground state g is laser-coupled to a metastable state e within a state-dependent optical lattice. In this scheme, the alternating pattern of lattice sites hosting g and e states depicts a chequerboard structure, allowing for laser-assisted tunnelling along both spatial directions. In this configuration, the nuclear spin of the atoms can be viewed as a 'flavour' quantum number undergoing non-Abelian tunnelling along nearest-neighbour links. We show that this technique can be useful to simulate the equivalent of the Haldane quantum Hall model using cold atoms trapped in square optical lattices, offering an interesting route to realize Chern insulators. The emblematic Haldane model is particularly suited to investigate the physics of topological insulators, but requires, in its original form, complex hopping terms beyond nearest-neighbouring sites. In general, this drawback inhibits a direct realization with cold atoms, using standard laser-induced tunnelling techniques. We demonstrate that a simple mapping allows us to express this model in terms of matrix hopping operators that are defined on a standard square lattice. This mapping is investigated for two models that lead to anomalous quantum Hall phases. We discuss the practical implementation of such models, exploiting laser-induced tunnelling methods applied to the chequerboard optical lattice.

Every Schleich 2017 figure/set should be listed below. If you see something that shouldn't be here, needs to be here, or needs to be fixed (presentation or name/number/picture wise), please notify me by PM or by another post on this thread.
- [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] *Has every figure & set currently in production as of 12/2017. If it isn't in here, it's been retired.
I'm 107% sure that Nightwing will be a DC figure next year with them releasing him this year as a special edition, like they did with the Comic-Con Joker. I won't put it on here until it's actually confirmed though.
I hope we will get the american sets in 2017.
This was posted on MPF and it looks a lot like the horses that were missing on the list.
If anyone has more info, please tell us.
They indeed could be those 4 missing horses.
I hope so!! Like I need them so badly!
There is a colt there, and the figures to me don't quite match up with the listed breeds but then again of course I'm no expert. If one of those is supposed to be an English thoroughbred then I'm very disappointed. Thank you so much for the photos though, I'm curious to see if they are in fact missing models we haven't heard about yet this year (Modelpferdesand doesn't have them listed with their second 2016 batch) or if they are SEs/being delayed until next year (though then why were they found in a store?) Anyways, thanks again.
It are not the missing ones!
These are not my pictures!
I wonder if these are for next year or sneak releases for late this year.
I hope for this year but i think for next year. They aren't in the juli-dec catalog.
That's what I thought, and if they aren't in the catalogue they are likely for next year or some kind of SE/special late release. Thanks for sharing again.
Hmm... I have already thought of names!!!
Very interesting, thanks for sharing! I haven't thought of looking for them in the new catalogue I got last Saturday. I'll do so tomorrow!
On MPF there is said that they are now in canada, and 2017 in Germany and the rest.
Maybe these could be added?
I think I will practice my patience.
Now let's wait for the müller instead then.
That's definitely a shorter wait.
Which one do you think will be picked this year?
It was already released--as an exclusive figure in a box set with a movie DVD. I saw them at Costco. There was also a Batgirl or Robin or something like that in a different one.
But I don't collect superheroes. Especially not DC ones. We'll see how the Marvel ones are.
And which ones do you think?
Yes, but can you send me a link to the website that you got the info from?
I actually think you might be right about the arab Stallion.
It is definitely more plausible than the fjord stallion.
The Müllers are never ponies, so my instinct goes against the Fjord.
Always grey price dots and always horses.
And the official pictures are also posted on MPV and on the post 'Four Schleich Horses found' here on sts.
I really like the mare foal and the icey omg soooo nice !
They are not pictured in the 2016 July-December catalogue, so I'm affraid you all have to wait until 2017!
On MPF there is said that Schleich confirmed it are 2017 articles.
Could this be a new item for 2017?
He only stands on the American and Canadian versions of the site.
Not on the other versions.
But I think it might be a 2017 item.
Hopefully not only for America and Canada.
Schelich salud that i chiste The sloth thats si not true!!!
The sloth was a user-voted animal, and Schleich said that it will be a new model for 2016, but we will see soon.
I have send Schleich a massege and ask if the four American items come to Europa next jear. because it is a lot of money to send from America.
they told me they will only be sold in America like the mullers only be sold in Germany.
I'm not gonna put down species until they are confirmed but I believe 14580 is a young Tyrannosaurus, 14581 is a titanosaur, 14582 is a feathered velociraptor, and 42347 includes a repainted feathered velociraptor, a micro raptor, and an archeopteryx.
Do you may can share this link? Or even give us the site where you found it?
Go to Schleich website and find the construction manual for the new volcano set. It's at the bottom of the pdf.


Not an easy post to work through, but capitalist greed has very human consequences. This post makes that cost very clear, in very human terms. Money was available to improve the facade, but only one fire escape, no sprinklers. Truly a shameful story. Brief report on plan to create a huge wind farm in Portales with PRC member wondering why it is needed. Huh?
Wind Farms in NM. Today's Santa Fe New Mexican is reporting that Xcel Energy wants to build a 522 megawatt wind farm in Portales, continuing evidence that the economics of renewables are increasingly favorable. David Hudson, president of Xcel Energy for New Mexico and Texas, saying, "The decision to add additional wind generation is purely economic. By taking advantage of tax credits before they expire, these projects will allow us to produce wind energy at a cost lower than energy produced at our coal and natural gas-fueled plants, and pass those savings directly to our customers." [emphasis mine] But PRC Commissioner for northwest New Mexico Patrick Lyons is reported to be uncertain additional wind energy is needed in NM. I mean who needs wind when there is so much expensive coal and risky nuclear available? Lyon's comment: "They'll have to prove there's a need," he said. "We'll look at it real close." I sure wish the PRC was as eager to scrutinize PNM's coal and nuclear energy plans as this one to provide wind. Click here to read the full report. Retake will keep you posted on when the PRC will convene a hearing.
Not too late to sign up for Retake Our Democracy's Kick-Off and Training for Retake's support Chainbreaker's Equity Summer. Click here for details and to RSVP or write directly to me. The training is tomorrow, 3-5pm at 1420 Cerrillos.
What Grenfell Means: A Fire as Metaphor for Our Future. So, a massive renovation of the Grenfell high-rise was completed and despite 16 inspections, no one noted that there were no sprinklers. Do you wonder if this would happen in a building housing wealthy residents instead of low-income, mostly Muslim residents? No one noted that there was only one fire escape. Same question: do you think the income level and religion of the residents was a factor? The exterior facade 'improvements' failed to utilize fire retardant materials which would have added only minimal costs to the building's 'upgrade' and would have prevented this tragedy. But resident safety was not a priority. What was a priority? Fulfilling the more important goal of disguising the 24 story low-income housing apartment to blend in better with the surrounding and gentrifying Kensington community. Click here for details.
But written words sometimes pale in comparison to testimony from those involved. I honestly think the video below is one of the most brazen examples of the consequences of corporate, capitalist greed. Thank you once again to Democracy Now!. The 23 minute video report is not to be skipped over. Watch it. Share it. And then use your anger to get active. I only pray that people viewing this don't need more evidence than this to prompt them to action. Click here for actions and opportunities. There are many opportunities to get involved. To reward you for watching this Democracy Now! report, I have also included at the end of this report, an inspiring musical tribute to the victims of the Grenfell fire, a fundraiser for the victims. A link is also provided so you can contribute.
Below is a moving tribute to the victims of the London Grenfell fire. Click here to contribute to the fund for the victims. But for God's sake, don't stop there. This tragedy is a metaphor for what we have created as a world community and this conflagration is our earth's future if we do not unite. So please, take this horrid event as a warning. If we don't unite, climate change weather disasters are coming; gentrification is coming. loss of civil liberties is coming. Don't just get pissed off, get active.
This is great news about the plan for more wind energy in New Mexico. It's kinda a no-brainer in this state, along with solar energy. But clearly the PRC is going to need a push. I also wanted to recommend a new book called "Drawdown" which offers in a clear and fact-based manner a hundred solutions to climate change, wind energy being one of them. I recommend it as a resource for moving forward for anyone interested in doing their part – includes something that everyone can get involved with.

Em matemática, se L é uma extensão de corpo de K, então um elemento a de L é chamado um elemento algébrico sobre K, ou apenas algébrico sobre K, se existe algum polinômio não nulo g(x) com coeficientes em K tais que g(a)=0. Elementos de L os quais não são algébricos sobre K são chamados transcendentais sobre K.

Estas noções generalizam os números algébricos e os números transcendentes (onde a extensão de campo é C/Q, C sendo o corpo dos números complexos e Q sendo o corpo dos números racionais).

Walk Like Jesus – Press On Toward the Goal!
Last Sunday – during the sermon – I asked if anyone was perfect. If anyone was perfect they were asked to raise their hand. It was not a surprise to me that no one lifted a hand – not even one – because – on our own – we are nowhere near perfect. Our sin nature – although overcome by the spiritual nature we put on in Christ – still rears its ugly head from time to time in our lives. Even though we want to be obedient to God – we often fail. We do what we do not want to do and do not do what we want to do (so says Paul in Romans 7:15).
He measured off another thousand, but now it was a river that I could not cross, because the water had risen and was deep enough to swim in — a river that no one could cross.
I know some will call me old – but one of my favorite praise/worship songs is sung by Steven Curtis Chapman – titled Dive. It came out in the 90's I think – so it isn't considered contemporary anymore by some – but I love it! You can find it by clicking the word Dive or by going to this link.
"Ask all the people of the land and the priests, 'When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months for the past seventy years, was it really for me that you fasted?
Two days left in our 21-Day Prayer/Fast – today and tomorrow (Sunday). Here's a great question – are we more interested today in ending the fast so we can go back to whatever we fasted from or continuing a deeper walk with Jesus? Be honest! Has our 21 days of praying and fasting altered our life? Are we walking a closer walk with Jesus? Are we forever changed?
Have mercy on me/us dear Lord as we enter our third and final week of the 21 Day Prayer/Fast. As we embark on the end of this journey and prepare for the next – be ever before us – with us and behind us. During Lent (and a little before) we will enter into a 40-Day time of reading through the entire New Testament. Stay tuned for more information later.
I want to ask a question that I have asked a number of times during the prayer/fast – What have we learned through the 21-Day Prayer/Fast? What has God revealed to us? What is God saying to us – to our family – and to our church?

Recycle everything you can: newspapers, cans, glass bottles and jars, aluminum foil, motor oil, scrap metal, etc.
Investigate local recycling centers that take items your garbage hauler does not.
Try to use phosphate-free laundry and dish soaps.
Use cold water in the washer whenever possible.
Don't use electrical appliances for things you can easily do by hand, like opening cans.
Re-use brown paper bags to line your trash can instead of plastic liners. Re-use bread bags, butter tubs, etc.
Store food in re-usable containers, instead of plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Save wire coat hangers and return them to the dry cleaners.
Take unwanted, re-usable items to a charitable organization or thrift shop.
Don't leave water running needlessly.
Set your water heater at 130 degrees.
Have your water heater insulated free of charge by your utility company.
Turn your heat down, and wear a sweater.
Lower your thermostat by one degree per hour for every hour you'll be away or asleep.
Turn off the lights, TV, or other electrical appliances when you're out of a room.
Get a free energy audit from your utility company.
Burn only seasoned wood in your wood stove or fireplace… and don't light them as often.
Help save the rain forests and the world!
By the way, BC-Chan (Calypsocafe) needs some help. If you have some HKO screenies with basically anything, please email them Caly (pinknocorisu9789@hellokitty.com). More information here.
Spring break was actually last week, but it did break, like it's breaking now. More snow in spring. And this time it's not the snow that is all icy and you can't do anything with it. And this time, the flowers are blooming. Snow with the flowers, winter mixed with spring.
Here in this picture, you can see a small portion of my mother's abnormally large garden (and our neighbors house). If you look closely, you can see that the cherry tree (or whatever kind of tree it is) is just starting to blossom.
Huh? Wait, what? I don't see Tiger Melody on the Top 3? What?!? Oh, well, look at the bright side. At least this was for charity. At least my friends won! And at least we made two shirts and one bag, so that means we'll donate six shirts and three bags to the orphans! Wow!!! Lucky them, they're the real winners!
Congratz, congratz to everyone, then. Congratz to the hosts of the event, the donors, and mostly, to the recipients.Everyone's a winner!
So, I say, HAPPY HELPING HEARTS! This has been a great and challenging event, though a fun one. Though, I do wish I pulled in a little more weight instead of randomly visit people's farms xP.
Posted in:Guild News, The Adventures of Tigerlyly!
CalypsoCafe's farm. It used to be full, but I came late.
THE SCARECROWS ARE TOO SCARY. They turned me into one of them.
We played some "Ring Around the Rosie" (No, not really). And then we ALL FELL DOWN! YEAH!!
Well, Miyaw had a Hide-N-Seek contest, too. But, it was different. Just a tag bit, so I don't want to go into detail. Anyways, the prize was a free tour of her farm. I was one of the 4 who first won the tour (I dunno why I tried, heh). So, that makes me one of the first to see her farm/house =D.
We were all saying NO! because Miyaw made a joke about beig the witch in Hanzel and Gretal xP. She was planting cauliflowers to make her dead her prettier. I also got to see her straw, tropical shack house. Apparently, the GMs don't have furniture yet either -_-. I wanted to see some, I guess not, then, huh?
The next day Miyaw was online (she took the day after the "free tour" off, she let anyone who didn't see her farm come and take a look. Of course, others were allowed, too.
Yeah, the dead trees and plants that were dead when I last came were now thriving!
I have no idea how Miyaw creates her farm murals alone…I want a pretty farm, too (with the plants, not the non-walkable areas). Well, yeah. I think that's it xP. See ya next time!
GM-Abby (intercom): Next: I'm beside a brown bear in red overalls.
Yueya (guild chat): Deev, you really like Tippy, don't you?

We were both very impressed by the Clun war memorial.
St George, Clun, Shropshire
The churchyard was a curious mixture of wilderness and well-tended areas.

Most unusually the latitude and longitude of death is reported.
St Endelienta, St Endellion, Cornwall
The parish church of St Endelienta stands beside the road to Wadebridge and is a large building of the 15th century in Perpendicular style. On 25 August 2010 it was announced that the British Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife Samantha had named their newborn daughter "Florence Rose Endellion" after the village.
Saint Endelienta (also Endelient, Edellienta or Endell) was a Cornish saint of the 5th and 6th century. She is believed to be a daughter of the Welsh King Brychan, and a native of South Wales who travelled to North Cornwall to join her siblings in converting the locals to Christianity.
William Bate was drowned on a voyage from Quebec to Swansea on the barque "Lord Riversdale".

Leominster Cemetery, Leominster, Herefordshire
This was a typical neat urban cemetery with lots of squirrels and toadstools.
Thomas Owen Price died on from the British S. S. Philomel. "The Philomel was the leading ship of the right column of a south-bound convoy from Brest to La Palice. No submarine or torpedo was seen at any time, nor was the submarine detected by the listening devices. The Philomel was struck on the starboard side, under the bridge, and, following the explosion, she swung to starboard out of the column and was immediately abandoned. At 6:14 P.M, about thirty minutes after being struck, the Philomel began to sink by the bow, taking a very sharp angle until her bow seemed to rest on the bottom. A minute later she disappeared from sight, with steam escaping and her whistle blowing. "

The memorial of the famous diarist R F Kilvert
St Michael and All Angels, Clyro, Powys
St Michael's church lies in the village of Clyro about 2km from Hay-on-Wye. The church with its north aisle, nave and chancel is wholly Victorian - only the lower stages of the west tower are late medieval. Internally there is little of pre-19thC date.
Robert Francis Kilvert (3 December 1840 – 23 September 1879), always known as Francis, or Frank, was an English clergyman remembered for his diaries reflecting rural life in the 1870s, which were published over fifty years after his death.
Thomas Harold Davies died "while on leave from active service" in October 1918.
St Mary, Knockin, Shropshire
The parish church of St Mary at Knockin was founded by Ralph Le Strange between 1182 and 1195. It has a Norman chancel, nave and north aisle but the building was heavily restored in 1847. When we were inside the church we could see that the oldest pillars on the left-hand side were still leaning outwards.
Thomas Harold Davies died "while on leave from active service" in October 1918. This is the first time we have come across this form of words.
A unique memorial to a photographer
St Michael, Madeley, Shropshire
Just as we arrived there was a thunderstorm with heavy rain and hail. Then just as suddenly it turned into a pleasantly sunny afternoon. That is English weather for you!
Very much a "one of a kind" memorial - just the type we like to see.
Note the correction from "AT THIS CHURCH" to "AT HIS CHURCH".
The church has a massive spire, out of all proportion to the size of the rest of the building. Much of the graveyard was overgrown and I find this rather disrespectful to those buried there.
This is an unusual stone for a number of reasons - not least the correction from "AT THIS CHURCH" to "AT HIS CHURCH".

Remembering the Springwell Pit Disaster of December 1872
Holy Trinity, Dawley, Shropshire
This was a large churchyard with a number of old but easily readable gravestones re-erected in small groups.
The Springwell Pit Disaster occurred on 6 December 1872 at Springwell coal mining pit near Dawley, Shropshire (now part of Telford). Miners at the pit would grab hold of a chain running the depth of the mine shaft and be hoisted 150 ft to the surface. On this day, eight miners clung to the chain. When 50 ft from the base of the lower part of the chain snapped, causing the miners to fall to the base of the shaft, before the chain, estimated to weigh 1 tonne, landed on top of them. All of them were killed instantly, except one, who died shortly after being brought to the surface.
A memorial to the six children of Thomas and Elizabeth Browne.
St Mary and All Angels, Bradley, Staffordshire
This village church has a late thirteenth century core. The Lady Chapel was dedicated in 1343 and the nave was rebuilt in the early sixteenth century. There was also substantial restoration in 1906-1908 to the designs of W D Caroe.
Charles was killed by a cart-wheel.

I seldom, if ever, believe the last words people are reported to have said.
All Saints, Claverley, Shropshire
This site in Claverley has probably been a place of worship since before Christianity came to Britain. The yew tree outside of the northeast corner of the Church is over 2,500 years old and such trees were commonly planted in sacred places.
The Cambrian Prince sank 25 miles off Whitby in storm force 10 winds
St Swithin, Clunbury, Shropshire
After four consecutive unsuccessful visits to churches west of Craven Arms it was a relief to find some graves worth recording for our survey.
The Cambrian Prince sank 25 miles off Whitby in storm force 10 winds on 27th February 1903 with the loss of 19 of the 20 crew. The ship was carrying manganese ingots from Coquimbo, Chile to Middlesbrough.

Cunnery Road Cemetery, Church Stretton, Shropshire
Cunnery Road Cemetery has an attractive and helpful noticeboard at the entrance with the most interesting graves clearly identified. Well done to whoever organised this.
I found it very sad that so many residents were buried in unmarked graves.
St Michael, Forden, Powys
Unusually the bell tower is sited at the side of the church rather than at the end.
The Forden Union workhouse later became Brynhyfryd Hospital and provided care mainly for the elderly. I found it very sad that so many residents were buried in unmarked graves.
An unusual grave reporting the birth and death of adult twins.
Market Harborough, Leicestershire
We found it rather curious that this major cemetery
didn't have a notice board at the entrance.
A slate tomb showing pre-deceased children
St Torney, North Hill, Cornwall
We arrived at the church just as a service was ending. We were pleased to see that the churchyard had been well maintained.
At the west end of north aisle there is the slate table tomb of Thomas Vincent of Battens (died 1606) and Jane his wife (died 1601) flanked by their 7 daughters and 8 sons. The small skulls above the heads of some of the children show they pre-deceased their parents.
The grave of a murderer.
St Andrew, Presteigne, Powys, Wales
This church incorporates some elements of its late-Saxon predecessor on this site. The present building can be traced back to early Norman times, and was extended to its current length in the late 12th century, when a self-standing tower was erected. Another enlargement followed in the 14th century, adding the existing nave and a south aisle which connected the tower to the rest of the building.
Mary Morgan was a young servant convicted and hanged for killing her newborn child. On 13 April Morgan was hanged, and was buried in what was then unconsecrated ground near the church later that same afternoon. Her public execution attracted large crowds, who watched as she was taken by cart from the gaol to the execution at Gallows Lane.
I have included both sides of this unique design.
Kingsthorpe Cemetery, Northampton
One strange feature of this cemetery is the high percentage of
gravestones lacking some of the key details.
I have included both sides of the gravestone.
John Wall was beatified by Pius XI and canonised by Paul VI.
St Mary, Harvington, Worcestershire
Curiously authorities differ as to exactly when John Wall and other English martyrs were beatified by Pius XI and canonised by Paul VI.
It is those Roman numerals again!
St Aelhaiarn, Guilsfield, Powys, Wales
The site of St. Aelhaiarn's Church appears to be of early medieval origin, and is believed to have been founded by St. Aelhaiarn in the sixth century. Much of the visible church standing on the site today dates to the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, but the core is of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Thorough restoration work was carried out by G.E. Street in 1877-9, in which many of the original features of the building were swept away, but the church does nonetheless retain some early points of interest, most particularly the octagonal twelfth century font with four large masks.
The arrangement of the text has been far made more complex than it need have been. It is those Roman numerals again!

Hi, my name's Charlie Griggs. I'm a singer/songwriter/musician from Hot Springs, AR. Stillframe is my solo project, an accumulation of songs I've written over the years that I resolved to let see the light of day, as well as material I write now that doesn't stylistically fit with the other groups I'm involved in. I released my first CD, 'Deeper Than I Thought', in July 2008, and the following albums, 'It All Comes Down' and "Aftermath" in September 2009 and 2011, respectively. As of this writing (Sept. 2015), I'm currently writing material for my fourth album.
Aside from Stillframe, I've performed rhythm guitar and vocals in Shelter, a songwriting collaborative with Scott Hulsey. Our work together, the albums "Something Gone" and "Turn to Stone" are available on this site. I also have a band with Jesse Bridges and Nathan Yates called The Ism; our albums "Get Things" and "Carousel" are also available here.
Thanks for taking the time to check out my site and listen to some of the music I've written and/or been a part of. I hope that you enjoy it! Be sure to sign up for the mailing list so we can keep you posted on upcoming events, and feel free to email me and let me know your thoughts!

Facts About Soccer in Mexico
Joe Raedle/Getty Images News/Getty Images
The passion for soccer in Mexico makes a visit to Mexico City's Azteca Stadium a feared occasion for rivals in CONCACAF, the regional conference overseen by FIFA, the international governing body of soccer. National teams from the United States, Canada, Caribbean islands and Central America compete for victory in front of 105,000 screaming fans. Mexico produces players able to operate at the top international level, including positions on Manchester United and Arsenal in England.
In 2006 as part of its "Big Count," FIFA counted nearly 8.5 million Mexican soccer players, registered and unregistered, out of a population of 107 million. Mexico places sixth worldwide in number of players, behind China, the U.S., India, Germany and Brazil. The country has 311 registered soccer clubs and 17,000 teams. Its 13,000 registered female players place it 20th in the world, behind leaders the U.S., Germany and Canada; 7,000 registered female youth players put Mexico at 17th worldwide.
The Mexican Federation of Soccer was founded in 1927. This came decades after the first school teams, consisting of students of Jesuit and Marist priests, began playing in 1897 and the first club team, of immigrant English miners, began in 1900. English players dominated the first three teams, the Orizaba, Pachuca and Reformation athletic clubs, with the first championship held in 1902. The first national team selection occurred in 1923. Mexico's first international appearance was at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam.
Mexico played in the first World Cup in 1930, held in Uruguay. The team lost to France 4-1 in the first game. Mexico has appeared in 14 World Cups from 1930 through 2010. Mexico advanced the farthest in 1970 and 1986, when it hosted the World Cup and advanced both times to the quarterfinals. In the five World Cups from 1994 through 2010, El Tricolor or "El Tri," so named for its green, white and red uniform, has advanced from the group stage to knockout stage where they were eliminated. In 2014, Mexico's men's national team ranked 24th in the world and second in CONCACAF, behind the U.S. and in front of Honduras. The women's team ranks third in the region, behind the U.S. and Canada.
As with other nations where soccer is wildly popular, Mexico divides its professional system into a top division and three lower divisions. Teams are promoted and relegated depending on annual performance. The Primera Division consists of 18 teams in three groups, and includes Atlante, Pumas, Cruz Azul and the oldest club, Pachuca. The division has two half seasons, and in the playoffs the champions of the two half seasons face off against each other.
Famous Players
Striker Javier Hernandez poured in 20 goals in his debut season of 2010-11 for Manchester United. With a jersey that reads "Chicharito," Spanish for "little pea," Hernandez has become the most famous of Mexico's approximately 4,600 professional players. Top goal scorers, historically, for the men's national team include Jared Borgetti with 46, Cuauhtemoc Blanco with 39, Carlos Hermosillo with 35 and Luis Hernandez, with his long, dyed-blond locks, 35.

"Yes," I said, "God loves you, and I love you." Miraculously, the man's demeanor changed drastically. He held my arms and then started to cry.
Tell me what you believe and I will tell you who you are.
Mark's casting out the old begins on an ordinary day in the synagogue. The men gather as they always have to study the scriptures. Jesus enters and begins to teach. In that moment, who the men thought they knew is shattered. He was teaching with authority. In other words, he had command of the Torah that went beyond what his peers would know. The men stare at him in amazement and turn to one another eyes wide pointing and saying under their breath "Can you believe this? He is so compelling. So smart." Who would have ever thought this of him.
Jesus stands looking at the man, not fearful, not afraid. But he looks at him with love. He knows the man can't help it. He is possessed.
What Jesus does is unexpected. He does not have the man removed from the synagogue, rather he looks him in the eye. Forces the man to look back at him and engage him. Not for the faint of heart. Jesus then performs an exorcism. Even those words cause the spine to tingle. Exorcisms are still performed today but they are not to be taken lightly. There are forces which surround us which serve to weaken us physically, spiritually and emotionally. Someone who performs the rite of exorcism is specially trained and not anyone can be called to this work.
We know Jesus was specially trained for this work-honed in the desert when Satan tempted him with worldly concerns. Mark doesn't say what these worldly concerns are but if Jesus is human as well as divine it is easy to imagine what they are: wealth, power, greed, lust, gluttony to name a few but Jesus commands Satan to leave him.
Father James Martin writes about our temptations in his book "Jesus" He speaks of his own weaknesses: pride, ambition and selfishness. He laments these traits don't change immediately like the demon coming out of the man. He writes I try not to avoid vanity but find myself being vain. I try not to be sarcastic but mean words fly out of my mouth. In prayer, I wonder where does this come from? Why am I still like this? When will these demons leave me?
He further writes one time he was so frustrated by his actions he got down on his knees and begged God to change him as quickly as the possessed man. After an hour of waiting Martin writes I rose the same person as before. How many of us have not found ourselves in the same spot? Wanting to change and then doing the very thing which makes us nuts not two minutes later. Not many of us are able to turn off a learned behavior we work at it and when we fail start again.
But once we focus on what it is we want to change about ourselves, the change comes. Slowly imperceptibly we don't even notice until one day a trait which once bothered us, is gone. Martin writes of his own battle with envy. He said there were times when he was envious almost hourly of those around him. Reflecting on his actions and working hard to eradicate this trait through prayer, he realized one day it was no longer there. One of his demons had been cast out. There are more to be sure.
Jesus in today's gospel heal the man but he also shows us what healing looks like which is a return to the life God wants us to have. The man could now return to his family, his work, his faith. Most of us thankfully will not be possessed by evil spirits but we may be possessed in other ways, ways that are equally as life draining. Thankfully we have someone who is ready and willing to return us to new life, that man is Jesus.
Christmas Eve-here we are again in this beautiful church surrounded by friends and family. The question to ponder on these special days is "Why are you here?" What I mean by that is what has drawn you to St. Thomas tonight. Is it tradition? Family obligation? Why or for whatever reason you are here-Welcome! We are so glad you have made St. Thomas a part of your Christmas celebration.
It is a night of mystery. Important things always seem to happen in the dark of night. Sickness of someone dear, the touch of two lips as a couple embraces, and of course the birth of a baby. Tonight we come together to again marvel at the birth of a baby. A special baby who will change the course of human history. Then we remind ourselves babies are born all day everyday. You can rest assured that on this night long ago many babies were born. And continue to be born on this day.
This particular baby as we know is very special. All babies are special of course but how many babies are heralded by the angels trumpeting from heaven his birth? Only one that we are aware of. The whole evening has been one of chaos.
Joseph and Mary arrive to a heaving Bethlehem. People are jammed in the streets jostling and pushing one another as they too look for a place to bed down for the night. They feel desperate and frightened for where will they stay. Couples argue with one another, children wail and donkeys throw their heads back braying at the cacophony of sounds.
None are more frightened than Mary and Joseph. Joseph is scared. Near tears actually. He looks over to Mary sitting on the plump, plodding donkey, her face etched in pain. They have been everywhere looking for a place. Finally in desperation, he pleads with the owner of the inn. They will take anywhere to bed down for the night.
Through the dim lantern light, the innkeeper sees the human drama unfolding before his eyes. He too becomes distraught. Frantically thinking where where? His mind racing. He knows every moment counts he has five children of his own. Finally he remembers an old cattle shed at the back of his property. It is not ideal, but the best he can offer at this late hour. Also it offers the couple some privacy and he leads them back there all along apologizing he has nothing better to offer.
Mary and Joseph at this point don't care. At the stable, the two men begin throwing straw on the floor of the stable. The innkeeper puts the lantern on a hay bale and shoos out some chickens and moves the cud chewing cow to one end of the shed.
Joseph takes Mary's arm and gently pulls her off the donkey. The donkey joins the cow for some much needed rest and refreshment. They look at couple while munching away on a bale of alfalfa scattered on the floor.
Mary groans as she lays back on the straw. Joseph nervously paces and the innkeeper quickly departs. The baby is coming and Mary pushes and pants until the wriggly, wet body of a boy slips out onto the straw. All is quiet. Mary falls back exhausted and Joseph rushes in to cut the umbilical cord and clean the child off. Suddenly a cry pierces the night sky as the child makes his presence known.
Far away in the fields, the shepherds are on alert. They can hear a humming deep within the earth and feel up through their feet and their toes. The air tingles and crackles around them. Each looks at the other with a quizzical, fearful expression. On their faces they feel a sudden gust of wind. Their robes are whipped around their feet and momentarily their headpieces block their vision. A brilliant flash of light illuminates the night sky and an angel stands in front of them. Her clothes are dazzling white and her wings flap softly as she stands before them.
The shepherds clutch one another, shaking uncontrollably staring at the heavenly vision in front of them. She tells them not to be afraid that she brings good news of great joy. The savior is born for all people. The baby is in Bethlehem in a manger-go-find-see she tells them and with that the night sky is torn open and a heavenly chorus rings out through the night."Glory to God in the highest and peace on those whom he favors." And as suddenly as it began, it is over and quiet once again covers the land.
The shepherds do indeed, go find and see. Racing to the manger, these rough dirty men crowd around to see the baby. Mary and Joseph the proud parents look on. Mary shyly pulls the blankets away so the men can see. Their faces soften as they gaze upon the baby sleeping peacefully. Joseph though is ever watchful of these strange ragged dirty men. He knows about shepherds' reputations.
You see shepherds were often involved in conflicts with villagers who wanted the land to grow crops and build homes while the shepherds needed the land to graze their animals. Many times, there would be violent clashes between the groups.
Wait a minute, Peace on whom he favors? God favors shepherds? God favors the ones who cause trouble? God favors the mean and the angry? In the words of Mary, "how can this be?" But it is true. It has come to be God has shown himself to the lowly and in the process created a new meaning for the word family. No longer is family blood relation alone but all of us are connected. God gathered together on this night a group of unlikely characters to share with them the news of the birth of his son.
So are you here tonight on this night of mystery for comfort, challenge or peace? Maybe a mixture of the three? Are you here because you need to hear the story again? Like the shepherds are you in awe of what God has done?
Most of us come here tonight in hope. Hope that if God can come to a group of outsiders, a bunch of rabble rousers, misfits. He can come to you and to me. There is no one who God won't be with. When we are unlovable-he loves us. When we don't love ourselves, he does it for us. He sees all the goodness and loveliness in each and everyone of us here tonight.
And it is His Son who came down to be like one of us. But it is not the end of the story. The birth of Jesus is like any human life the beginning of life-our life. Our lives of messy, strange and wonderful stories. Our lives of being with one another and sharing this one wonderful moment together on this beautiful blue marble hurtling through space. We have each other and we need each other but we also need to have Jesus in our lives. Without him, it is just not living, it is existing.
Tonight is your opportunity to be like the shepherds in that cold, dark field long ago. When the angels said peace to those whom he favors. God is speaking to you. So whether you are here because you think you ought to be or its your tradition or again you are just a little curious about the mystery. Welcome we are glad you are here. We want you here among us as we all Seek Him. Each of us does this time of year like the shepherds did long ago to go, find and see.
Staring in wonder. Reflecting in joy and finding peace.
Today we hear again the story of John the Baptist. We will not hear from him again until after Christmas. John the Baptist is a rather bittersweet character. We know he is quirky. Wearing rough clothes, eating locusts and wild honey. He is unshaven and has a wild-eyed look about him. Asked repeatedly by the authorities, he gives them maddening answers. Telling them he is not the Messiah. In fact, John says he is not worthy to untie the thong of the Messiah's sandal.
Unusual language both then and now. Most people do not take talk about themselves as being unworthy but rather they are very worthy. In fact they are the most worthy person they know. Humility is not something we see everyday. Instead we see jockeying for position be it professional or social. Being humble is a sucker's bet. Society laughs at those who are humble. The word authentic is tossed around quite a bit which is code for, saying and doing what we please because this is who we are warts and all. Take it or leave it.
I don't know about you, but I think the world could use a little humility. If people were humble there wouldn't be the need for men or women to take advantage of the vulnerable at work. We would be judged on our merits and not whether or not we were willing debase ourselves for a job or friendship. The powerful would as Mary says lift up the lowly. The third Sunday in Advent is a point to take a breather and reflect on what has happened so far in Advent. What have you done this Advent in order to live out the words of John the Baptist. The who is coming is greater than all of us and we are unworthy to untie the thong of his sandal. But that is beside the point, Jesus came to be with us to show us a better way and to teach us exploiting our planet and her inhabitants is not humble or authentic. It is arrogant and rude. As you prepare a place in your heart for the coming Christ child, make it a soft place for him and for all.

There exists a misconception around campus that Pacific University is going to be completely fossil fuel free by 2020.
According to the Director of the Center for a Sustainable Society Michelle Larkins, colleges and universities who are fully fossil fuel free normally buy renewable energy credits in order to achieve such status.
According to the Pacific University 2020 Strategic Plan, Pacific will strive for and works towards creating a greener, more environmentally friendly, campus by 2020.
"We have chosen to first achieve real reductions by improving and reducing our own emissions practices on the Forest Grove campus," Larkins said.
One of the main goals embedded within the 2020 Strategic Plan is to raise Pacific's score on the Sustainably Tools for Assessing and Rating System (STARS), from bronze to gold.
According to Larkins, the last STARS submission made by Pacific was in 2011.
Plans and initiatives to help boost Pacific's standing with STARS have already been implemented around different campuses. Larkins said the sustainability requirement for students, introduced in the new core curriculum for the College of Arts and Sciences, will positively impact Pacific's STARS score.
Additionally, a hyperlocal standard with food service providers has been started, allowing Pacific to set up a purchasing preference with Washington County growers. Dishware on the Forest Grove campus is also going to transition to be all bamboo in the future, according to Larkins.
Larkins said more changes and updates will be coming after results and data are collected from the most recent waste audit, which was performed in March 2018. The data will provide Pacific with a framework on ways in which to reduce landfill waste and other forms of output.
The Center for a Sustainable Society plans to resubmit to STARS every two academic years.
The STARS program does have a Platinum level but, according to Larkins, the soonest Pacific could reach this level is 2022.

Review HIGH FIGHTER 'Live at WDR Rockpalast'
The pandemic and the connected measures have clearly shown the importance of live music. In moments when something that seems to be a given is gone, one values it much more than in times of opulence. But this time also unveiled creative moments for music, although in a different format.
German TV station WDR had with Rockpalast a well-established live music format. With no usual live shows ongoing, the Rockpalast team started with Rockpalast OFFLINE a new format that was slightly different to the standard. The 'Rockpalast Corona Sessions' was series of concerts with bands that played at special places without any audience.
One of the bands that performed such a concert was High Fighter. The Hamburg-based sludge metal powerhouse performed a concert in August 2020, surrounded by the breath-taking scenery of the Landschaftspark Duisburg. Without audience and under strict COVID rules, the band played eight songs which will be unleashed these days as the band's first live album.
'Live at WDR Rockpalast' is the title of the album that reflects the musical history of the band in a good fashion. Songs like the mighty 'Black Waters' reflect the beginning of the band, a tune taken from the 2014 EP 'The Goat Rituals'. Mona Miluski's hoarse vocals and screams are dominant during this phase of the band and along the way, the clean vocals took over a bit more space. High Fighter premiered in 2016 with 'Scars & Crosses' and one of the songs that has been played in Duisburg is 'Down to the Sky', moderate paced smasher with mainly clean vocals.
The latest album 'Champain' is represented by a few songs too, of which the immense 'When We Suffer' is one and the racing closer 'Shine Equal Dark' is another. The latter is a brutal sludge metal inferno, showing that the band still has the roots very present in their current sound.
'Live at WDR Rockpalast' is a special album, recorded in a special time and reflecting an unusual live event. High Fighter might have had different ideas when it comes to their first live album, but instead of having a regular live release it is this special time that allowed for a record that is also a witness of an unusual period.

It was a rough day on Bay Street.
Canada's main stock market tumbled as the energy sector plummeted. Enbridge and TransCanada shares led the march downward and the TSX closed the day at 16,435, losing 107 points. The loonie got a boost though as StatsCanada released data showing positive retail numbers in May.
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones started the losses early as U.S. President Donald Trump decided he'd take another round of tariffs shots at China. It did climb its way through most of those losses though, giving back just six points on the day and closing at 25,058.
At press time oil is down 20 cents to $68.04 U.S. per barrel, gold is up $6.30 to $1,230.30 an ounce, and the loonie is up more than a cent to 76.18 cents U.S.


It was the month of January in the town of Dawson City of the Yukon, Canada. It was cold. It was actually really very-cold. The fire was out as well. Then the people of Dawson decided to dance Punjabi folk-dance Bhangra to warm themselves up. And it worked.
Gurdeep Pandher trained local people to dance bhangra and then choreographed it in the Dawson streets to fire up the energy of the bodies.
People enjoyed dancing to bhangra and it also created pure happiness along with the rich-warmth of dance energy.
The Councillor with the City of Dawson government, Billy Kendrick and his team, brought cameras to film it.
And so true, in Dawson City, people found gold and we have found "golden hearts" there.
Dawson City is located in the Yukon Territory of Canada. It the place where Gold Rush happened between years 1896 and 1899. The area is also known as the Klondike region of the Yukon. Dawson City is also known for the marvelous writings of the Yukon poet Robert W. Service.
Bhangra is the folk-dance of Punjab.
