Oh, well now dubstep sounds better!
So it's definitely club music.
The funny thing is, I don't have music on my mobile phone.
That's why I have a separate I-pod!

Here's a song I dislike immensely, and that was before Mr West's ego exploded. Single Ladies by Beyonce. I find this song (the original edit at least) to be demeaning to guys, repetitive and annoying. Just my 2 cents. Surely I'm not alone in this? Also, I'm not particularly a Beyonce hater; some of her music is tolerable. Also, pretty much anything by Christina Aguilera.

All Beyonces songs talk bad about men. She has a great voice, wish it was mine...but it the songs don\t do it for me. You'd think she had happy things to say about guys, being with the same guy for years.

Bieber's not usually on my stations.
Beyonce! She does have some negative songs about men.
I'm thinking the latest is about some almost love "The Best thing I never had".
I don't really follow other artists!

What's up with Mumford & Sons?
Seems like everybody raves about them.
Not me!
by caroli on Sat Sep 17, 2011 2:04 pm
Never heard of them.. You know something people usually ADORE but I find quite indifferent? Pearl Jam. It's not that I don't like them..it's just..bah! I don't see what's so special about them
by Giba7 on Sat Sep 17, 2011 3:28 pm
Oh no! Pearl Jam rules! But really for me it's only one album. Ten

Soooo good! Grunge era.
Same time as RHCP Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Acid Funk.
They both headlined Lollapalooza with these albums.
But PJ has this slow/groove energy about their music. awesome guitars
Yeah..but for Grunge I would rather take Nirvana..they sound better, not to mention Kurt Cobain's voice..
by Giba7 on Sun Sep 18, 2011 4:14 am
Kurt Cobain is too low, even for Grunge!
In my opinion, Nirvana's just not as musically talented as the other 2 groups.
They were like the novelty of grunge.
But maybe I do have a grudge against Nirvana.
by caroli on Mon Sep 19, 2011 1:44 pm
Bah..maybe Pearl Jam are just not my thing...they don't strike me as original
by Giba7 on Tue Sep 20, 2011 2:07 am
But the Grunge era was great with music!
Just about the same time Kurt died, I remember hearing Soundgarden's Superunknown.
Totally blown away.

Not sure of which ones I actually saw in concert!
Complement..why would I insult you in public?
by Giba7 on Wed Sep 21, 2011 11:24 pm
I wouldn't mind an insult. Counterpoint whenever you want.
Well, either way. I revisited Superunknown (SG), and Ten (PJ) and they aren't as great as I remember.
Maybe I'm just in a different place now.
by Giba7 on Thu Sep 22, 2011 3:55 pm
Some people think Beyonce is negative in her music.
But I think instead, what she's doing is trying to fit into the scene today; she has to be tough/ghetto.
As she grew up from Destiny's child. And she had to become sexy to sell.
Kelly Rowland is trying the same thing.
"Single Ladies" is repetitive, but every single person knows it!
by caroli on Fri Sep 23, 2011 1:39 pm
Single Ladies is a disgrace...and I won't even make reference to her new album...but I do think that I would rather listen to Beyonce all day, instead of Rihanna an whole hour!

They're better than half the other trash out there -Kesha and Brittany!

I don't like bands such as Nickelback, Creed and Daughtry. I think it's mainly because of these lead singer's voices, IMO they sound like they're yelling and are not melodic at all. I always change the radio station when any of these are played, which unfortunately for me is a lot!
Yay, my status is now "Supersonic"!!!

Will constitutional application to force Mugabe to resign work?
(Last Updated on February 9, 2016 by Editor)
ZIMBABWE – A British-based Zimbabwean lawyer, who filed an application asking the Constitutional Court to make a finding that there is evidence to show that President Robert Mugabe now lacks the mental and physical capacity to carry on as president and must step down, says his lawsuit aims at putting pressure on parliament to probe Mr. Mugabe's capability to continue at the helm.
Tinomudaishe Chinyoka, a former student leader of the University of Zimbabwe, cites Section 97 of the Zimbabwe Constitution that calls for the stepping down of the president if he is mentally or physically incapacitated.
In the application filed on Friday, Chinyoka cites as respondents, President Mugabe, the Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs who is also vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa, Speaker of the House of Assembly Jacob Mudenda, Senate president Edna Madzongwe and the government of Zimbabwe.
The application cites the incident where Mr. Mugabe, who turns 92 this month, slipped and fell as one of the indications that he is no longer able to physically run the country.
He also cites a number of gaffs that Mr. Mugabe has made, which include re-reading a speech that he presented a few weeks before and that he is always falling asleep during meetings as indications that he is no longer fit to run the country.
Chinyoka told VOA Studio 7 that he hopes that the court will force parliament to institute an investigation into the president.
But constitutional lawyer Lovemore Madhuku said the case has no legal basis.
Meanwhile, another Zimbabwean Owen Kuchata of the opposition Zimbabwe People Front, appeared in court Friday facing charges of sabotage or alternatively terrorism for allegedly attempting to bomb a Gushungo Holdings entity owned by President Mugabe's family.
According to the Daily News, Kuchata, is set to stand trial after indicating that there was nothing wrong with attacking Mr. Mugabe's personal property.
He initially pleaded guilty but has now changed his mind on issues related to attacking the person of the president and matters related to him as a Zimbabwean.
Kuchata is said to have teamed up with three other people – Borman Ngwenya, Solomon Makombe and Silas Pfupa to allegedly bomb the farm in Mazowe, Mashonaland central province.
They are facing additional charges of insurgency, banditry and money-laundering. They were remanded to February 16.

One of the many advancements in medicine has been the use of genetic testing in determining the probability that an individual will develop a life- threatening illness or condition. Knowing that you or your children are not at risk of a major illness can be of great comfort while knowledge to the contrary can be of great value in preventative treatment and planning. There was a growing concern, however, that individuals would be very reluctant to undergo genetic testing if knowing the results could affect their ability to properly insure themselves or impact their opportunities for employment. As a result, a private member's bill, Bill S-201, was introduced in the senate resulting in the Genetic Non-Discrimination Act being recently enacted into law.

The Irascible Professor - Commentary of the Day - 01-31-03. The Lake Wobegon effect - all our high school graduates are above average.
"I feel like a fugitive from the law of averages."... ...Bill Mauldin .
Commentary of the Day - January 31, 2003: The Lake Wobegon Effect - All Our High School Graduates are "Above Average".
According to the recently released "American Freshman Survey" compiled by the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA, high school seniors are spending less time studying for classes and reading and more time using the Internet. A record low of 34.9% of college freshmen report having spent more than six hours per week on homework during their senior year in high school. This is down from the high of 47.0% reported when the question was first asked in 1987. During that same period of time the number of students reporting that they spent less than one hour per week on homework during their senior year in high school rose from 8.5% to 15.9%.
While the amount of time high school seniors spend "hitting the books" has dropped to a new low, their high school grade point averages continue to inflate. As the chart below (from the report) shows, almost 70% of freshmen at private universities now receive A averages in high school, and more than half of the freshmen at public universities receive A averages as well.
There is no evidence that these high grades reflect improvements in student performance. Instead, high school students have become adept at manipulating the system. They have learned how to obtain high grades not through diligent study, but by concentrating on just those items of information that are likely to appear on exams. Part of this trend toward "empty" grades can be attributed to the increasing pressures associated with college admissions. Students these days feel that they can't afford anything less than A grades if they want to get into a decent college or university. To achieve this goal they take an ever increasing number of Advanced Placement (AP) courses that carry college credit, and look good on their transcripts.
Parents join in the game by pressuring high school teachers to award high grades. Teachers, in turn, often cave in to this pressure. They respond by turning their classes into preparation sessions for the standardized AP tests that are required in the Advanced Placement courses. Rather than exploring the intellectual foundations of the subject, high school teachers tend to base class discussion and quizzes on specific AP exam questions. This "teaching to the test" helps students achieve high scores, but often at the cost of genuine understanding.
Those of us who teach at the university level are left to cope with the effects of this system of illusory accomplishment. The majority of our incoming freshmen are ill prepared to cope with the intellectual demands of college courses -- not because they lack intelligence, but because they have not developed the study and time management skills that are needed to succeed in an environment where most learning takes place outside the classroom. It is not surprising that many students bring to the college classroom a cynical attitude towards grades. They do not view grades as a measure of intellectual development in a particular course or major, but rather simply as a reward for completing a series of disconnected transactions -- a reward that will help them get into graduate or professional school or to get that well-paying job after graduation. "Tell me what I need to know to get an A in this class" has become a familiar refrain.
Students expect, from their high school experience, to be told exactly what is required to receive a particular grade. They expect to be given "study guides" before exams that lead them by the hand through the material that is likely to appear on the exam. And they expect tests and courses to be graded by "rubrics" that assign a fixed number of points for the completion of each item assigned. Woe to the poor professor who sets exam questions that might require a smidgen of original thought or insight on the part of the student. He or she is likely to hear about that in spades when it's time to fill out those teaching evaluation forms.
While their grades may suggest that most of our high school graduates are "above average", in reality many have below average "curiosity coefficients". Many need to spend more time expanding their intellectual horizons and less on figuring out ways to "beat the system".
There is a glimmer of hope, however, in the results of the most recent freshman survey. In 2002 more students reported having an interest in current events and political affairs than in recent years. Compared to the all time low of 28.1% of college freshmen who viewed keeping up with politics as very important in 2000, the current number of 32.9% is a definite improvement. However, it still is far lower than the peak value of 60.3% reported in 1966. As uncertainties in international affairs continue to grow, we may find college students reconnecting with underlying ideas and issues.


Tumble Polished Gemstones from Craftstones Europe Ltd.
A tumbled-polished gemstone is one that has been smoothed and polished to a high gloss by slowly grinding the stones against each other in barrel-like tumblers. Depending on the stone type, and the skill of the person managing the process, it may take anything from a few days to several weeks to achieve the desired result. Although the tumbling process remains a fairly "mechanical" process, there is a great deal of skill involved in obtaining the desired "polish" to the different stone types. However the basic process is one of using a grinding paste of Silicon Carbide Abrasive Powder and water to grind the stones to shape followed by a final tumbling with a polishing powder.
Gemstone tumbling was started commercially in the United States in 1953. At that time, the tumblers used were literally no more than household paint cans, but as demand for the fabulous gemstone-products increased, the tumbler sizes increased until they reached the "6000-pound" tumblers which proved to be an ideal mix of size and efficacy. This size of commercial tumbler is still used today. The vibrating tumbler then entered the market as it speeded up the process of tumbling certain gemstone types and sizes.
Craftstones Europe keeps over 150 varieties of gemstones in stock, most of them have been processed in the factory in South Africa.
Contains only naturally colored stones. This mix is especially useful for Museum sales when dyed stones may not be appropriate, as well as "Scratch Patch" where children can search for their favourite tumble-polished gemstones.


We have had two competitions so far this year with both being held at Devonport Judo Club. The first competition was the Devonport Open Judo Competition held last month. We had 10 members compete and they did not disappoint! We managed the tidy sum of nine medals four gold, three silver, three bronze all of which was a fantastic effort.
The Tasmanian Judo Championships were held on April 23 in Devonport, and is the decider for selection along with other compulsory requirements. We had nine entries from our club to compete at the State titles and once again we managed to bring home five gold and two silver, with some great completion from our students. The state team was also announced and Joshua Smith is now once again part of the Tasmanian team. Unfortunately, due to a previous injury, Zack Moody has withdrawn from competition and selection and will not compete at the national titles. It is a great loss as both Zack and Josh have earned their place on the team, but we wish Zack a speedy recovery and Joshua all the best at the national titles.

Brian Brubaker's daughter, Emily, faces years of expensive dental work. She was born with a rare condition called ectodermal dysplasia, which affects hair, skin, and teeth. Because of the condition, Emily has no adult teeth and will have to have them surgically replaced. Children born with ectodermal dysplasia are among the four percent of individuals born with congenital anomalies – conditions that develop before birth and stay with them for life – each year, KTUU reports.
Brubaker and Laura Watkins, whose son also has ectodermal dysplasia, are two Alaskan parents asking the state's Congressional delegation to fix a loophole that allows insurers to deny oral surgery to children.
"The health insurance can deny coverage for dental work related to birth defects… If you get in a car accident it's covered if you need to have major reconstruction of your teeth or jaw, but if you're born that way, it's deemed to be cosmetic. But teeth are not cosmetic. You need them for eating and for speaking and for good nutrition, and there's this loophole in federal law that the insurance companies deem it cosmetic and don't have to cover it."
The Brubaker family recently met with Alaskan Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan to discuss the loophole and the Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act, legislation supported by both lawmakers which would close it.
"While many states require insurers to provide health coverage for services related to congenital anomalies or birth defects, health plans routinely deny certain claims. When a child is born with a congenital anomaly, they often face multiple surgical procedures and a long road of treatment and recovery which may be further complicated when patients, even those fortunate enough to have insurance, are denied coverage," Murkowski said.

I've written of Cousin Tilithia Brewington King Godbold Dabney here and here. Her restaurant in Norfolk, the Strand Cafe, made a deep impression on my grandmother, who laughingly recalled waiting tables there on childhood visits and being dazzled by Cousin Tilithia's menu offerings.
Thanks to B.J., great-granddaughter of Tilithia's sister Mattie Brewington Braswell, who found these Norfolk Journal & Guide articles, we now know more about the cafe:

As I've written about here, visits to Norfolk, Virginia, to spend time with cousin Tilithia at her cafe were highlights of my grandmother's childhood. They later lost contact, however, and it was not until I connected with B.J., a descendant of Tilithia's sister Mattie Brewington Braswell, that I learned that Tilithia lived until 1965. I wish Mother Dear had known that.
In my earlier post, I mentioned that Tilithia was married to railroad fireman Walter Godbold during the years after World War I that my grandmother visited. "Her marriage to Godbold did not last," I noted, "and the 1930 census found him back in Rocky Mount NC (described as divorced) and her still in Norfolk, holding herself out to be a widow while maintaining the little restaurant at 426 Brambleton Avenue."
Ancestry.com's Virginia Divorce Records database shed some light on this fractured set-up:
Yes. Apparently, Tilithia and Walter — married in 1921 and separated in early 1926 — stayed married for nearly 40 more years. Only in 1963 did Tilithia receive the divorce she finally filed for (and Walter contested.) Grounds: desertion. Walter was not new to that game, though he turned the tables in his go-round with Tilithia. Here's the divorce record noting the dissolution of a previous marriage to a woman from his hometown, granted seven months before he married Tilithia:
And what could have led an 84 year-old woman to seek a divorce from a man she probably had not seen in decades? A third shot at love. Less than a month after her marriage to Godbold was dissolved, Tilithia married John Carter Dabney, a retiree nearly twenty years her junior.
This union, if happy, did not last long. A year and-a-half later, on 21 November 1965, Tilithia Brewington King Godbold Dabney passed away. Her heart failed, but presumably did not break.
The most talked-about wedding.
December 2, 2014 Lisa Y. HendersonAldridge, Braswell, Brewington, wedding 6 Comments
Pittsburgh Courier, 20 June 1936.
Socialite Clara B. Braswell's mother, Mattie Amelia Brewington Braswell, was a daughter of Joshua L. and Amelia Aldridge Brewington. Just after 1900, Mattie migrated to Norfolk, Virginia, where she married her husband, who was also a Wayne County native. Several of her siblings also made the move, including Tilithia Brewington King Godbold Dabney, much-beloved by my grandmother. Among the out-of-town guests noted at Clara's nuptials were Mattie Braswell's first cousin and his wife, Zebedee and Jennie Ridley Aldridge, with three of their children. The son of John W. and Louvicey Artis Aldridge, Zebedee had also migrated from Dudley, Wayne County, to rural Brunswick County, Virginia, in the first decade of the 20th century. Zebedee and Jenny traveled a hundred miles from their farm to attend his cousin's gala wedding, touching evidence of enduring ties among Robert and Mary Eliza Balkcum Aldridge's descendants.
Zebedee and Jennie Aldridge, probably 1940s.

I'm not a Brewington or a Jacobs and have no direct link to any of the players in this sad intrafamily squabble over Polly Ann Brewington Jacobs' estate. Nonetheless, as was the rule among free families of color in and around Dudley, Wayne County, there was multi-strand intertwining between these folks and my extended family:
Joshua L. Brewington, the J.L. who testified on behalf of John R. Jacobs, married Amelia Aldridge, sister of my great-great-grandfather John W. Aldridge.
John R. Jacobs was the older brother of "Papa," Jesse A. Jacobs Jr., who married Sarah D. Henderson (my great-great-grandmother Loudie Henderson's sister) and reared my grandmother.
John Jacobs' sister Frances married Marshall Carter of Sampson County. Frances' son Milford E. Carter married Beulah M. Aldridge, John W. Aldridge's daughter. Another son, John W. Carter, cared for Lucian Henderson (brother of Sarah) and his wife in their old age and inherited their small farm.
Milford E. Carter Jr. married Jessie Bell Brewington, granddaughter of Hardy A. Brewington.
Michael and Ann Eliza Brewington Manuel's son, Alonzo Manuel, married Sallie Wynn, daughter of Edward and Susan Henderson Wynn. Susan H. Wynn was the sister of my great-great-great-grandfather Lewis Henderson.
Michael and Ann Eliza Brewington Manuel's daughter Celestial married Hillary B. Simmons after the death of his first wife, Ann Elizabeth Henderson, who was a sister of Sarah, Loudie and Lucian Henderson.
Raiford Brewington's wife Bashaby was the daughter of Shadrach and Zilpha Hardin Manuel. Her kinship to Michael Manuel is not entirely clear to me, but research by others suggests that they were cousins.

We got strayed apart.
November 9, 2013 Lisa Y. HendersonAldridge, Brewington, business, cafe, Norfolk 12 Comments
I was thinking about Cousin Tilithia when I was a little girl. She had a restaurant large enough to work in and serve patrons. It wasn't real big, but they were serving patrons, and Mama carried me up there, and we spent the night there. And whenever she'd come to Wilson she'd stay with us.
Tilithia Godbold, she lived in Norfolk, and she married this man. That wasn't her children's daddy. King was her children's daddy. Godbold was the man she married later. He lived over in Rocky Mount, and he worked in the roundhouse or something. I think he fixed the train, but he wasn't the one on the train. And Godbold, Tilithia's husband, he stayed there in Rocky Mount. 'Cause Tilithia lived in Norfolk. Her and her five or six girls or whatever it was, and she was running what they call the Strand Café. And it was down on the first floor, and they lived up over it. Go out there, and it was a sleeping compartment. I was over there one time, and I remember it. I think I was about seven or eight years old. Went with Mama over there. We was just running all over the place. She had us waiting tables. I wanted to wait tables. I was wondering, I asked Mama, "Well, why come we couldn't have a place like that?" And all that food! Look like whatever the food was – I didn't even know what it was 'cause we ain't never had none. It was a whole lot of stuff, look like they had, I didn't want it, but then I know it looked good, and we ate down there in the café.
And another time Mama took me over there on the train to see her. And it was right down in South Philadelphia where we went to their house. Where they was staying. And when I moved up here, her sister, she was telling me 'bout how the children were there in Norfolk, her sister and all them. I said, well, I could remember some of them, but I don't remember what – and I asked where some of the girls was. Some of them in Norfolk and some of 'em, one's dead. [Inaudible] the family. We got strayed apart.
My grandmother reminisced fondly of "Ta-LIE-a-thy" and her cafe, but was not entirely sure how they were related. Not long into my research, I discovered that Tilithia Brewington King Godbold Dabney was born 1878 to Joshua and Amelia Aldridge Brewington. She was, then, the first cousin of my grandmother's father, J. Thomas Aldridge. Tilithia married Emanuel King in 1898 and, by 1910, the couple and their daughters Juanita, Elizabeth, Amelia, May Bell and Tilithia had settled in Norfolk, Virginia. Tilithia and Emanuel divorced and, by 1920, she was married to railroad fireman Walter Godbold and running her cafe. Her marriage to Godbold did not last, and the 1930 census found him back in Rocky Mount NC (described as divorced) and her still in Norfolk, holding herself out to be a widow while maintaining the little restaurant at 426 Brambleton Avenue.
This was about all I could locate on Cousin Tilithia until 2009, when I met — genealogically speaking — B.J., a descendant of Tilithia's sister Mattie Brewington Braswell (and my fourth cousin.) Ours has been a most fecund collaboration, and it was she who discovered Tilithia's obit and what had become of her daughters. My grandmother would have pleased to know that the branches of our family had found their way back from being "strayed apart."

Lambeth Council signs up to The Fossil Fuel Non-proliferation Treaty
Community Editor
Postby Community Editor » Thu Jan 13, 2022 1:56 pm
Lambeth Council has announced its support for the Fossil Fuel Non-proliferation Treaty as part of its commitment to a carbon neutral future.
The council has added its name to the growing number of local governments, corporations, and other large organisations who have committed to pursuing a future that is less reliant on fossil fuels.
The treaty sets a series of commitments required to reduce our dependent on oil, gas and coal so we can limit the rise in global temperature to 1.5degrees by 2030 in line with United Nations guidance.
Lambeth Council leader Cllr Claire Holland called for the council to join the treaty during the September full council meeting and the council has now fully signed up.
Cllr Holland said: "Our continued reliance on fossil fuels, whether for heating our homes or fuelling our vehicles, is unsustainable. We need changes to happen rapidly.
"We are already working towards lowering our overall carbon footprint and collaborating with businesses to support their efforts to be cleaner and greener.
"We fully support the aims of the Fossil Fuel Non-proliferation Treaty, which align with our own. By joining with many different organisations, we can lobby with one voice for a fossil fuel free future."
Research suggestions that the burning of fossil fuels is responsible for around 80percent of carbon dioxide emissions since the industrial revolution.
The Fossil Fuel Non-proliferation Treaty seeks to end the exploration of new oil, gas or coal production; phase out existing fossil fuel production in a fair and equal manner; commit to 100 percent renewable energy globally and to develop new economic measures to support the transition.
Lambeth Council was the first London authority to declare a climate emergency and commit to becoming carbon neutral across all its buildings by 2030.To do this the council has devised a new transport strategy to encourage more active modes of travel, safer streets without motor vehicle traffic to allow all residents equal opportunity to walk, cycle and enjoy green spaces.
This has included the introduction of five trial Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) schemes to reduce motor vehicle traffic on local streets.
A large proportion of Lambeth Council's carbon footprint is linked to older buildings. As a result, the council has launched a retro-fit programme that has already helped 23 schools in the borough reduce their emissions.
Work is taking place to install new underground heating pumps at the Grade II listed Brockwell Hall to reduce its annual carbon footprint by 46tns.In November, the Sustainable Ventures affordable workspace opened at the former Greater London Council building in Waterloo to support technology start-ups and entrepreneurs working in low-carbon solutions.
The council is also preparing its long-awaited Climate Action Plan that will underpin all future council policy on tackling the climate crisis after collaboration with local businesses and the first ever Citizen's Assembly on the Climate Crisis held this summer.
Cllr Holland added: "We are just one council, but I believe that we can lead the way for other local authorities to follow us in signing The Fossil Fuel Non-proliferation Treaty and striving for a carbon-zero future."

Q: Do you know a css framework like Clever CSS? I found some time ago a CSS framework like Clever CSS but I don't remember its name and I can't find it now.
Do you know CSS Frameworks like Clever CSS? It was like Clever CSS, but more powerful.
Thanks.
EDIT: I have just realized it is actually a css preprocessor, it is like Less CSS too.

A: There are many
check this link, here is a nice review of most popular frameworks
http://speckyboy.com/2008/03/28/top-12-css-frameworks-and-how-to-understand-them/
I have used Elements and it is very powerful

  margin: 2em 0
  td.ln
    text-align: right

li
  font:
    family: serif
    weight: bold
    size: 1.2em

I will be with you; when you walk through fire, you shall not be burned….
Once while squeezed in a waiting area of Chicago's O'Hare Airport I heard enthusiastic singing. Twisting around I caught a glimpse of the TV showing singing, clapping, joyous Haitians. The streamer at the bottom of the screen read, "Haitians find their faith gives them strength." It seemed absurd. An earthquake had devastated their lives, the death toll was staggering and yet they sang songs of praise. I was witnessing their faith in practice. They were praising the presence of God even as they breathed death.
Experience has told me that life is painful. I didn't learn to walk without falling down or mountain bike without getting a concussion! So, why should I expect my spiritual growth to be any different?
Eugene Peterson says, "growing up and growing up in Christ are the same thing."
When I first heard his sage advice twenty-five years ago I left the room completely confused. How could they possibly be the same? Well with each passing year I keep falling down! But it seems that with each "flood" and "fire" my body, soul, mind and heart have been strengthened.
When I embrace God's presence, within each "fire" or "flood", the possibility of becoming more like Jesus increases. After a history of struggle, the singing Haitians understood that "fires" were inevitable. But they sang for joy that God's presence was with the living and the dead. They could not be consumed.
Jesus, you have power over water and fire!
that will keep me growing up in You.

Ghana vs South Africa: South Africa to consider options after protest Ghana is dismissed
Bashiru Awudu
. 3 December , 2021
Fifa has ruled an appeal from South Africa relating to a decisive 2022 World Cup qualifying match against Ghana is inadmissible.
Bafana Bafana had claimed they were "robbed" after their 1-0 defeat last month, with the only goal in the game scored from a first-half penalty.
The South Africa Football Association (Safa) included allegations of "match fixing, match manipulation including corruption and bribery" when it lodged a complaint with football's world governing body.
South Africa had needed a draw to reach Africa's World Cup play-offs, but the result meant Ghana progressed at their expense on goals scored.
Safa president Danny Jordaan later claimed there was a betting spike during the qualifier, which took place in Cape Coast on 14 November.
Meanwhile, an appeal by Benin about substitutions made by DR Congo in another crunch qualifier on the same day has also been thrown out.
Fifa's disciplinary committee declared both protests inadmissible as they did not meet relevant requirements – but also added the decisions are subject to appeal.
While Fifa referred to its Disciplinary Code and the regulations for the World Cup qualifiers, it did not offer the exact reasons for the rulings.
It means, as it stands, that Ghana and DR Congo will be in January's draw for the African World Cup play-offs, with two-legged ties to decide the continent's five representatives in Qatar set to be played in March.
"We have received the decision without details and will request the reasons [from Fifa] and consider our options," Safa chief executive Tebogo Motlanthe said in a statement on Friday.

Luz Noceda is the main protagonist of the Disney Channel animated series The Owl House, created by Dana Terrace. She is voiced by Sarah-Nicole Robles. Luz is confirmed to be bisexual by Terrace, some calling her the "first bisexual lead character" on a Disney Channel show.  In April 2021, the show's creator also revealed that Luz Noceda is neurodivergent.

Luz's character has been compared to Anne Boonchuy from Matt Braly's Amphibia, another Disney Channel animated series, this is mainly due to their similar premise and tone. She has been well-received by both critics and fans of the show, who praised her character and Robles' performance.

Creation
According to series creator Dana Terrace, Luz is named after her Dominican-American roommate, Luz Batista, a story artist and consultant for the show. Terrace also said that Luz's character evolved from conversations she had with Luz Batista, who later became her best friend. Later, Nancy Kanter, EVP, Content and Creative Strategy of Disney Channels Worldwide explained that while they loved the "combination of magic and mystery in this other world" of The Owl House, they really "fell in love with the main character Luz," leading them to green-light the show itself. This connected with Terrace's hope that audiences are "entertained by Luz's world and her off-the-wall adventures."

On July 7, 2020, when responding to a fan who posted a still of Amity putting her hands on Luz's shoulder, from a promotion for the upcoming episode "Enchanting Grom Fright" on Twitter, Terrace said that there is no heterosexual explanation for the moment. Later, on August 10, Terrace confirmed on Twitter that the episode features a bisexual character, but didn't confirm whether this was Amity, Luz, or both, but many fans assumed this referred to Luz. On September 2, during a Reddit AMA, Dana Terrace confirmed that Amity is intended to be a lesbian and that Luz is bisexual. She also stated that the relationship between Amity and Luz would be explored in Season 2 and that Luz is "oblivious to some things in front of her," including Amity's crush on her. In the same AMA, Terrace stated that Luz was Amity's first crush and that she was thrilled to see people connect to the show's characters, like Luz and Amity.

Character

Luz Noceda is a 15-year-old Afro-Dominican-American girl from the fictional town of Gravesfield, Connecticut. She has brown skin, short dark brown hair, brown eyes, and typically wears a cat-ear hooded indigo-and-white t-shirt, denim shorts, black leggings, and white shoes.

Luz is very quirky, outgoing, and unpredictable. She is a fan of the novel series The Good Witch Azura. She loves fantasy to the point of being detached from reality and has a hard time making friends. However, she still does have a heart and good intentions. In the first episode of the series her mother sends her to a reality-check camp, but she accidentally ends up going to the Boiling Isles instead through a portal in a nearby house. Due to her love of all things fantasy and magical, she wants to become a witch. She soon befriends an old witch named Eda and a small wolf-like demon named King. Later, Luz enrolls in Hexside Academy as an exchange student.

Fictional character biography

Season 1

Luz Noceda is a young girl who has a strong love for fantasy. So strong, in fact, that it gets her into trouble. After failing her book report at school due to her outlandish presentation, her mother decides to send her to "Reality Check Summer Camp" to help her focus more on reality. To show confirmation of her mother's wishes, she throws her copy of The Good Witch Azura book in the trash. As soon as her mother leaves, however, she fishes for it, only to see it being carried away, along with other garbage, by a diminutive owl and follows it into a run-down house. Luz suddenly gets transported to the magical world of the Boiling Isles, specifically a town called Bonesborough. Luz is immediately taken in by a notorious witch named Eda Clawthorne and her small "roommate" King and begins to live with them at the Owl House, the series' namesake. Realizing that her life back home would be unfulfilling, she decides to stay in Bonesborough to train under Eda and become a witch, despite the fact that she herself is incapable of performing magic. Shortly afterward, she befriends two young witches named Willow Park and Gus Porter who attend Hexside, a school that Luz begins trying to attend. She also meets Amity Blight, a snooty student who initially looks down on Luz and her friends. During her time in Bonesborough, Luz slowly learns that she can perform magic by drawing symbols(also referred to as glyphs) on paper. Her first symbol, a magic orb that produces light, stuns Eda. In a Coven Convention, Luz challenges Amity to a witch duel, which she accepts, on the condition that if she wins Luz must give up learning magic. Amity is disqualified as she is found to have been unknowingly cheating, and leaves, ridiculed. Luz finds her and comforts her by offering her friendship, and Amity, reluctant at first, allows Luz to continue her magic studies.

She discovers that Eda had been cursed as a child and wants to help her try to remove it. Her relationship with Amity begins to improve when she realizes that Luz genuinely cares for her well-being and end up having a shared love for The Good Witch Azura series. Through the actions of Eda, and a little from Gus, Luz finally gets accepted into Hexside and, contrary to the initial rules, is allowed to learn from every track after she saves the school from a Greater Basilisk. She helps Willow regain her confidence on school, and, by entering her mind, manages to discover the roots of her troubled past with Amity. She helps them both start over again their relationship. On Grom night, Luz offers to fight Grometheus, a monster that manifests as the fighter's deepest fears, instead of Amity, who was originally chosen. When she is overpowered, Amity comes to her for help. They dance together while casting multiple magic spells, defeating Grometheus. Despite having increased confidence and security about herself, Willow keeps getting bullied by Boscha and her friends, to which Luz, Gus, and Amity decide to help. They challenge Boscha to a Grudgby match, in which, while they lose, they gain the respect and sympathy of Boscha's teammates. Luz cares for Amity, as she suffered a leg injury during the match.

Luz attends a field trip to the Emperor's Coven and plans to steal an item to cure Eda. She ends up getting discovered by Lilith, Eda's sister, who has been trying to capture her, and kidnaps Luz to lure Eda out. They collectively learn that Lilith had been the one who cursed Eda and has been trying to capture her, not just to cure Eda's curse, but to also have her join the coven, something Eda had long detested. Luz ends up getting sent back home after Eda gives herself up willingly to save her. Luz and King head back to rescue her from the Emperor's Coven and reluctantly teams up with Lilith after she admits that Emperor Belos plans to kill Eda, rather than cure her. Luz faces off against the Emperor who will only let Eda go if she gives him the key to the real world, which Eda used when Luz first came to the Boiling Isles. However, Luz uses her magic to destroy it and she rescues her friends before fleeing. Lilith uses her magic to share the curse between herself and Eda, and Luz decides to help them reclaim their magic after theirs diminish.

Season 2

Luz, now more adept and skilled with her glyph magic, decides to teach it to Eda and Lilith, to cope with their newfound weakness due to their curse. Eda, sensing Luz's guilt for recent events, tells her that her life has been better with her in it. Luz and Amity's relationship continues to improve, after the latter saved Luz from her parents, as she was trying to get her expelled friends back into Hexside. Luz learns from Eda's mother that she was not the first human on the Boiling Isles. In the library, she learns that Philip Wittebane managed to arrive to the Isles hundreds of years ago. She seeks Philip's diary, which can only be accessed with Amity's help. Their relationship improves further, with Amity expressing interest in visiting the Human Realm. After Luz made Amity lose her library card, Amity kisses her on the cheek after she helped her regain the card back. With Philip's diary and a knowledge-replaying Echo Mouse, Luz begin's studying Philip's notes. Luz can't create a connection with any of the Palismen, as she is skeptical about her future. She decides to spend the night in the Palismen nest, hoping to bond with one. After rescuing the Palismen from the Coven guard, and befriending Hunter, the Emperor's Guard, she is given a log of palistrom wood by Eda to carve her own palisman staff. After what happened at Amity's house, Luz is now more confident of her feelings. Hooty tries to help, placing both of them in a tunnel of love. As they traverse the river, Luz feels embarrassed at the tunnel's romantic messages, destroying them to prevent Amity from seeing them. However, Amity mistakenly believes Luz is uninterested in her and turns to leave, heartbroken. Hooty, upset, lashes out, wreaking havoc in the House, but King and Eda allow Luz and Amity to ask each other out, and begin dating. Luz continues to study the contents of the Echo Mouse with the help of Amity.

Luz discovers from the Echo Mouse that Titan's Blood is needed to create a temporary portal home, which can be found on Eclipse Lake. Eda and King offer to get it for her, and Amity tags along, wanting to prove she is a good girlfriend for Luz. Luz worries for their well-being, and she joyfully embraces Amity when they return, happy that she is safe. With the Blood recovered, Eda and King create a temporary portal for Luz to check on her mother, Camila. She discovers that a shape-shifting Basilisk, named Vee, has been living her life back in the Human Realm. Luz learns that Vee escaped the Boiling Isles, as her species was being experimented upon by the Emperor's Coven. With the help of Camila, Luz rescues Vee from a demon-crazed curator. Luz reveals that staying in the Boiling Isles was her own choice, but promises Camila to stay in the Human Realm once she manages another way to come back, leaving Camila devastated.

After collaborating with Amity in assisting and later defeating Kikimora with her own personal business, Amity shows Luz her phone, which she left behind at school, playing a video Luz recorded for Camila. Luz finally explains her situation to her mother, and they promise to maintain themselves together throughout the journey. Luz resolves to meet with Philip personally, after learning from Eda that time-traveling puddles exist. With the help of Lilith, they travel to Philip's era through a puddle. However, they end up having to defeat Philip after he betrays them, leaving Luz guilty of having been blinded by her admiration for him. Luz agrees to help Amity in a competition, but Amity notices Luz is acting differently. Luz reveals to Amity that her father died a long time ago, and on his death anniversary, she spends the day with her mother. However, she will be unable to accompany Camila this year. They send flowers tied to a balloon into the night sky, in the hopes that they will reach the Human Realm. Luz and Hunter end up trapped inside Belos' mind. There, Luz discovers not just the whole truth about Belos, but also discovering his true identity as Philip Wittebane. After being saved by Eda and King, she is left shaken at what she has discovered. Luz tells Eda, Hooty, and King about the things she saw on Belos' mind, but does not mention his real name or reveal her actions. Luz, King, and Hooty travel to a village inhabited by beings similar to King, who call themselves the Titan Trappers. Luz and Hooty learn from talking with the elder of the village, Bill, that King is actually the son of the original Titan. Bill orders the village to sacrifice him, but Luz and Hooty save him, destroying the entrance portal as they escape.

After telling Lilith and Eda the truth about King's heritage, Luz strains her relationship with the latter when she expresses her desire to send her and King away to protect them. She confronts Eda, accusing her of underestimating her power, and they end up captured by the Coven guard. However, they are instead taken to a hideout, where Darius, Raine, and other Coven rebels express their desire to enlist their help to stop Belos' plan. The Covens Against the Throne explain to Luz their plan to stop Belos, but Luz expresses her desire to rescue Amity first, as she has been grounded by Odalia. With the help of Gus, Willow, and Hunter, she finally reunites with Amity, who leaps towards Luz, embracing her with teary eyes. Amity kisses her for the very first time, and they promise to go on a proper date when they've succeeded. Luz tries to help Amity bring sense to her parents, as they believe they are oblivious to the evil they are assisting. After destroying the Blight factory with the help of Alador, Gus reveals that Luz has been captured by Kikimora, as she assumed Hunter's appearance. As such, a captured Luz is taken to face Belos personally once again. After the draining spell begins taking effect, she duels with him, as he expresses his desire to save her from the "delusions" caused by the Demon Realm, and tries to send her back to the portal. However, she saves herself from being petrified and manages to brand him with a sigil, causing Philip to be affected by the spell. After he presumably gets killed by the freed Collector, Luz and her friends are all through the portal to the Human Realm by King in an attempt to save them. After it collapses and the magical door only leads to the old shack, Luz goes home and reunites with Camila, devastated for the fate that awaits her family in the Demon Realm.

Season 3
Luz and her friends live with Camila for several months, during which Luz returns to school, and her friends stay home and attempt to learn how to live in the Human Realm, going as far as to try to understand Spanish. However, Luz feels guilty for her friends' predicaments, and despite her denying it, she is constantly down. Before the Gravesfield Halloween Festival, Luz records a mournful video on her laptop, exclaiming she has decided to stay in the Human Realm permanently to protect her friends. Sometime later, Luz and Hunter spot Belos in the woods on Halloween night. Belos ultimately creates a new portal in a cemetery with Titan's Blood he found using a map he stole while possessing Hunter's body. Their friends and Camila arrive to help, and Hunter expels Belos from his body after the battle. Belos crosses the portal, but Hunter is left mortally wounded. Flapjack, his palisman, sacrifices himself to save Hunter's life, deepening Luz's grief. After the fight, Luz finally confesses that the Day of Unity and everything that has happened to them is her fault, as it was she who introduced Philip Wittebane to magic when she traveled back in time. However, her friends reiterate their support, and Amity assures her she won't leave her side. After Camila arms herself, much to her surprise, both she and Luz cross the portal.

Reception
Luz's character was received positively. She was described by some as a teen who "aligns herself with a witch and a demon" to fulfill her dream to become a witch, and praised her character, with some calling her a "fantasy-loving human." Others praised the plotlines of episodes where Luz explored the magic school and met other witches of the same age, and the growing romantic relationship between Luz and Amity.

In the season 1 episode "Enchanting Grom Fright," Luz and Amity dance together for the first time. Spencer Wan says that he's "never been prouder of any other board." Alex Hirsch (voice of King and Hooty, creator of Gravity Falls, and Terrace's partner) was very proud of Disney for including this scene in an episode. After it was confirmed that Luz was bisexual, actress Lili Reinhart, who plays Grace in Chemical Hearts, welcomed the development, saying that often people have told her that being bisexual is "a phase," and felt validated by Luz's character.

Other media

She would later appear in Chibi form in the animated series based on the "Chibi Tiny Tales" shorts, Chibiverse.

Jaynic, as development promoter has submitted an outline application for B1 and B8, together with detail for the main infrastructure and landscaping on Taylor Wimpey's 114 acre site at Bury St Edmunds. Suffolk Park, which has Enterprise Zone status on 37 acres, and will accommodate up to 2 m sq ft of business, distribution and industrial units.
Simultaneously it has sold a 10-acre site to Treatt – advised by agents Carter Jonas – which will finance the cost of the park's initial infrastructure. Treatt, is one of the world's longest established solutions providers for the flavour, fragrance and personal care industries, and has been located in Bury St Edmunds since 1971. The company is to consolidate from several locations in the town into a new 200,000 sq ft global headquarter facility to be constructed within the Enterprise Zone. The purchase price has not been disclosed.
The outline planning application for B1 and B8 sets out a development masterplan providing for up to 2m sq ft at Suffolk Park including a potential 750,000 sq ft 'big box' distribution warehouse on the east side of the site. The whole park is within a larger area allocated as employment land as an extension of the established Moreton Hall business area by St Edmundsbury Borough Council in its 'Vision 2031' local plan.
It is hoped that the outline application which is policy compliant will gain approval in March 2017. Jaynic intends to have contractors on site to undertake all necessary infrastructure works as quickly as possible. This will create a fully serviced attractive landscaped environment to meet the needs of modern businesses.
Dean Taylor, Director of Operations at Treatt, said: "Treatt is delighted to announce the exchange of contracts at Suffolk Park. This will be one of the most significant company developments in the last 50 years and will revolutionise almost every aspect of the business. It will enable Treatt to excite its customers even more, improve efficiency and further accelerate its growth," added Taylor.
Cllr John Griffiths, Leader of St Edmundsbury Borough Council, said: "After so many years of very hard work by St Edmundsbury and many others, I am delighted that Suffolk Park is now rapidly moving from plans on paper to reality on the ground, alongside a new school, new community facilities, new homes and better transport links through the eastern relief road.
Bespoke properties from 10,000 sq ft upwards will be available to let or for sale. It is intended that, subject to planning, occupiers' new properties will be built in parallel to the surrounding work so that occupation can be given as quickly as possible.
Enterprise Zone status, which was secured by New Anglia LEP and West Suffolk County Council, means that any qualifying company taking new accommodation within it will be eligible for relief of up to £55,000 pa against the rates payable for five years amounting to a saving of £275,000 over that period.
Being developed in parallel is Taylor Wimpey's 500-home Moreton Hall scheme. The new Sybil Andrews Academy School opposite has just opened and it's gym will soon be available for use by the Public.
