"Men box God into the contents of personal experiences, and then seek to define his attributes by this limited exposure to eternity."
"As well might a gnat seek to drink in the ocean, as a finite creature to comprehend the Eternal God. A God whom we could understand would be no God. If we could grasp Him, He could not be infinite. If we could understand Him, He could not be divine."
"One of the main ways we move from abstract knowledge about God to a personal encounter with him as a living reality is through the furnace of affliction."
"When God sees us, He smiles"
"To love God does not mean to meet His needs, but rather to delight in Him and to be captivated by His glorious power and grace, and to value Him above all other things on earth. All the rest of the commandments are the kinds of things that we will do from our hearts, if our hearts are truly delighted with and resting in the glory of God's grace."

Ten years have passed since the start of the Iraq war. In that time, thousands of U.S. service members died, and potentially hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens lost their lives. In this decade of war, tens of thousands of Iraq war veterans have suffered physical and mental disabilities, and many will continue to deal with these issues for the rest of their lives. A war of choice, based on a lie, has now cost us over $2 trillion. And the cost is only going to continue to rise with the medical needs of Iraq war veterans for many more decades to come.
Most Americans now understand the Bush administration lied to us. Most Americans agree the Iraq war was a mistake. But according to a new Gallup poll, 42 percent of Americans do not believe the war was a mistake. Apparently over a third of the country is fine with their government lying to them. Or maybe they are simply comfortable with their government lying to them because telling the truth would confuse them — to twist the words of a Lewis Black comedy bit.
And amazingly, the "lie to me" crowd has grown since 2008 when 36 percent said the war was not a mistake.
Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction. Saddam Hussein, while a bad guy, did not pose any greater threat to the world than any number of dictators ten years ago or now.
So tell me again why so many people had to die?


INFASHIONLOVE.COM: New Revlon Parfumerie Nailpolish in African Tea Rose!
New Revlon Parfumerie Nailpolish in African Tea Rose!
Hey Beauty Lovers! Today I stopped by at Revlon counter [in Boots] and discovered that finally we have their scented nailpolishes in UK, woohoo! As soon as I got home I had to paint my nails, of course... I wasn't sure what to expect from the scented nailpolish but I actually love it! The scent of every nailpolish is meant to represent the name of the nailpolish, in this case African Tea Rose. I have no idea what an actual African Tea Rose smells like but this nailpolish definitely has a very pretty rose scent!! As I always wear a topcoat I didn't know if the scent would still come through but it does, it makes your hands smell like you just applied a beautiful rose scented handcream!!
So I'm really excited about this new Revlon nailpoish range. The formula is beautiful, super smooth and perfectly opaque in two coats. Not sure about the nailpolish wear longevity yet as I only painted my nails today, but truth be told I change nailpolish every other day or maybe an extra day max, so either way that's never a problem for me. And I love the packaging too, reminds me of a vintage fragrance bottle.

Borehamwood councillors act following deprivation report
Borehamwood's Cowley Hill Ward Councillors have welcomed proposals at Hertsmere Borough Council to implement their request that the Council invest £20,000 in a piece of social research designed to establish the causes of deprivation and to bring forward practical recommendations to address local challenges.
These challenges include the recent outbreak of knife crime, antisocial behaviour and problems highlighted in the recent Indices of Multiple Deprivation IMD2019 published on 29 September 2019. This report identified Cowley Hill Ward as being within the top 10% of most deprived wards nationally and as the most deprived ward in Hertfordshire.
The research will enable the Council and other agencies to ensure that efforts and funds are properly targeted in order to deliver sustainable improvements to the ward
Hertsmere Labour Group Leader and Cowley Hill Councillor Jeremy Newmark commented: "This is an important intervention. Over the past few decades a vast amount of money has been designated for this area and yet the net result is that things have got worse."
"We asked Hertsmere to acknowledge that you can't just throw money at a problem. A solid evidence and research base will be critical in ensuring that any future plans have positive and enduring impact."
"We would like to thank the Interim Managing Director and Economic Development Portfolio holder for accepting the invitation of the three Ward Councillors to visit the Leeming Road area, speak to local people and businesses and see the situation at first hand. We are grateful for their swift action in taking forward our recommendation to commission this research. It is a significant first step. As local Councillors and a Labour Group we will relentlessly pursue our campaign to improve things for people in the Cowley Hill Ward and ensure that the findings of this research are implemented in partnership with other key agencies."
Cowley Hill ward is represented by three Labour Councillors, Cllr Richard Butler, Cllr Jeremy Newmark & Cllr Michelle Vince.

Foreign Film Distribution Site Filmatique Launches Online Film Festival

CREDIT: Filmatique
Filmatique, one of the rising online distributors of international cinema, has launched its first Talents Initiative, an online film festival promoting first and second projects made by budding filmmakers from around the world.
A portmanteau of "film" and "boutique," the web site launched in 2017, releasing a single title each week under a monthly concentration, such as "American indie," "Norwegian women" and "new Asian voices." Ursula Grisham, one of the company's three founders and head curator, told Variety that Filmatique strives to give attention to underrepresented, art-house films in an online media landscape that can overwhelm viewers with popular releases.
"We're trying to cultivate as much space around the films so people really view it with the same level of intention and care with which it's made. We're focused on more niche, international content, younger filmmakers and more festival fare," she said.
Since the site's launch two years ago, it has garnered attention and respect from filmmakers, allowing more high-profile releases from prestigious film festivals to be made available online. For example, Filmatique featured the film "Where I Grow Old" in a showcase of Brazilian cinema after it generated interest on the festival circuit. Later, Amazon picked up the rights to the movie and distributed it on Prime Video.
"We're never going to move away from these undiscovered gems of contemporary world cinema, we're going to stick to that as our mission. However, if we have more recognizable titles alongside those, it creates a very interesting conversation between them and brings additional visibility," said Grisham.
One of the motivations for creating the Talents Initiative was that Filmatique was receiving hundreds of submissions from filmmakers all over the world, hoping their projects could be featured online. After careful curation, five feature films and 10 shorts from countries like Iran, Venezuela, Brazil, Greece, Italy and Argentina will be showcased on the web site, many being distributed for the first time.
"It was a more democratic way to structure having an online film festival for the first time and focus specifically on films that are first and second features and have been underseen," said Grisham.
Recently, Amazon announced plans to launch a similar online short-film festival promoting marginalized voices, while Netflix has also ramped up its production of foreign movies and series. The Spanish-language film "Roma" earned Netflix its first best picture nomination, in addition to taking home three awards out of 10 nods.
"There is so much more diversity than I've ever seen in studio films or television shows. These global giants, Netflix and Amazon –– they're changing the landscape. They have the ability to take risks in terms of diversity that traditional studios perhaps couldn't do because of the way their business models are run. I think it's great they're doing that," said Grisham. "It's a way of coaxing culture in the direction of increased inclusion and exposure to the human existence of people who perhaps have been marginalized or have experiences that we don't identify with personally."
Filmatique is available in the U.S. and Canada for $4.95 per month and includes one free month. Subscribers can view the films on Apple TV, iOS and Roku as well.

Harrogate Blooming Brilliant on Yorkshire Day
Tourism agency, Visit Harrogate, claims the Spa Town is Yorkshire's flower capital as Britain in Bloom judges arrive in the town on Yorkshire Day (1 August).
Pam Grant, President of Harrogate in Bloom, said: "Being judged in Champions of Champions means it is one Yorkshire Day that will hold very special memories for all of us involved in this year's campaign. Harrogate is proud of its In Bloom successes and we are proud to be representing Yorkshire."
Richard Spencer, CEO of Visit Harrogate, said: "It's not surprising Harrogate has been nominated in the elite category for Britain in Bloom. The district regularly tops the leagues. In the past few years, it was voted the third most romantic destination in the world, beating Paris, Vienna and Rome. It held the 'Happiest Place to Live' in Britain title for three years.*"
Harrogate was dubbed 'Happygate' after dominating the list, and still came out on top in 2017 for the best nature and green spaces.
Renowned for its floral displays, Harrogate also features The Valley Gardens, a 17-acre English Heritage Grade II listed garden, a 220-acre Stray protected by Royal decree, and RHS Garden Harlow Carr, which celebrates Yorkshire Day today (1 Aug) with flat cap throwing, Yorkshire pudding and spoon race and a Yorkshire Tea relay race. Picture shows, RHS Harlow Carr staff celebrating Yorkshire Day.
The spa town is famed for its boutique shops, stylish restaurants and world famous Turkish Baths.
The aristocratic and the fashionable used to flock to 19th century Harrogate to take the waters, enjoy the elegant regency buildings and extensive gardens.
Richard added: "The Harrogate District is fantastically diverse. In Ripon, Fountain's Abbey and Studley Royal Water Gardens is a World Heritage Site with its medieval deer park. I challenge anyone to contest that Knaresborough has one of the most beautiful views in the world overlooking its river and castle. Nidderdale is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and boasts the rural charm of Pateley Bridge, which won the Best Village High Street in the Great British High Street awards. Add boutique retail and restaurants, and a wealth of cosy pubs and tearooms, it's no contest the District is the jewel in Yorkshire's crown."

Want to get in on a revolutionary experience happening in the housing industry? Sign up for exclusive news on 12 state-of-the-art moving glass aluminum walls and windows from Western Window Systems rolling out over the course of the year. These 12 new product lines promote open floor plans and indoor-outdoor living while addressing energy and structural needs critical to areas throughout the country.
Check Out the First Product!
There was a time not too long ago when chasing after energy-efficiency goals was a big source of anxiety among window and door manufacturers. Think back: the now-embattled Energy Star program was moving quickly, with stated thermal efficiency goals rising to new, more stringent heights with each revision to the program.
Different code bodies, including the International Energy Conservation Code, were adopting those Energy Star performance targets. Required U factors plummeted. Continuous thermal improvement was the industry imperative.
Among all of this, vinyl extruders and window designers sought to get ahead of the curve. Customers demanded it; playing catch-up wasn't an attractive option. Around this same time, to overcome limitations in glazing packages, vinyl extruders also began to develop new window products with more internal chambers to increase the thermal efficiency in windows. Sometimes, this resulted in big, bulky window designs at the expense of some aesthetic benefits.
Sales and new product adoption reflected that compromise in aesthetic value. The increased cost associated with the increase in frame and sash material, coupled with the increase in sightlines, created a reluctance for many manufacturers to pull the trigger on adding new products.

Newtown High School's building opened its doors in its present form in 1921, back when high schools were built to last and inspire. The Flemish Renaissance Revival-style turret is visible throughout the neighborhood and gives the school it's slogan: "We Tower Above the Rest."

Who Needs Grass When You Got Corn?
Maybe you hate it, but you can't ignore Queens Boulevard as a useful hub through western and central Queens. The mega-lane road is sometimes confused with a highway by folks from gentler climes.
Queens Boulevard is at its most congested often around the Queens Center Mall area (and extended shopping district) near where it meets the Long Island Expressway.
The former branch of the Jamaica Savings Bank in Elmhurst is known for its sweeping modern-design, from 1968. It now houses a North Fork Bank.
Behind the bank is the circular Queens Place Mall. A block away is the larger Queens Center Mall.
The Reformed Church of Newtown, once known as the Reformed Dutch Church of Newtown, dates its present building to 1832. The congregation's first church on the spot was founded in 1731 by Dutch immigrants.
Sundays now include Taiwanese, Mandarin (Chinese), and "multicultural" English services.
Moore Homestead Park is at Broadway and 83rd Street in the heart of Elmhurst. The 2-acre, asphalt-blacktop park is the stomping grounds of both teenagers on the basketball and handball courts, and older men hunched over games of chess and "xiangqi" or Chinese chess.
The park was previously known as the Elmhurst Playground. It's current name honors the Moore family homestead that once stood on the spot. Reverend John Moore arranged the purchase of Newtown (now Elmhurst) from Native Americans in the mid-1600s. His family home built in 1661 stood on the land until 1933.
The most famous Moore to live in the house was Clement Clarke Moore, the author of the Christmas poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas," better known as "Twas the Night before Christmas." Although Moore grew up in the Elmhurst house, he did not live there when he penned the famous poem in 1822.
Geeta Temple stands out a bit on a somewhat industrial stretch of Elmhurst along Corona Avenue. The facade is striking, at once ornate and clear.
The commercial district in Elmhurst along Broadway, especially near Whitney Avenue, is the home of a growing number of Asian and Southeast Asian businesses and restaurants. The greater Elmhurst neighborhood is one of the most diverse places in Queens, but most visible on the blocks along Broadway are shops catering to Thais, Chinese, Taiwanese, Indonesians, and other immigrants from East and Southeast Asia.
Boca Juniors Argentinean Steakhouse is named for Boca Juniors, one of the most popular soccer clubs in Buenos Aires. Essentially, the steakhouse is a theme restaurant, draped in the team's blue and yellow.
Sugar Club serves up Thai snacks and videos.
Wat Buddha Thai Thavorn Vanaram is the main Thai Buddhist Temple in New York City. Twice a year the temple hosts festivals -- like Royal Karin in November -- where the public is invited to join the Thai community for a meal.
The temple is another striking example of religious architecture in the neighborhood. The eye-catching top is especially riveting amongst the multi-family homes and small apartment buildings on the street. The base of the building, however, is a fairly standard brick rectangle.
Don't be too surprised that you can find many of the New York's best Thai restaurants within a short distance of the temple.
One of the first Jain temples in the United States, the Jain Center of America fits snuggly on Ithaca Street, amongst co-op buildings and across the street from St. Bartholomew Catholic Church.
First a one room temple, in 2005 it expanded into a 16,600 square foot temple, with worship for all five Jain sects. The architecture is surprising, yet in many ways like a lot of new buildings in Elmhurst and across Queens. Imagine a plain facade, and it could be a "Fedders"-style building. It's very well exectuted, and a must for fans of urban architecture.
St. Bartholomew's in Elmhurst is part of the Brooklyn Archdiocese of the Catholic Church. The original church building opened in 1910; it's now a chapel behind the main church. The main church seen in the photo opened about 1930.
The bell tower peeks out above much of the surrounding neighborhood. It's a beautiful brick building.
The St. Bartholomew parochial school is behind the church.

Fleeing Crisis, Some Venezuelans Are Recruited By Rebel Forces Fighting In Colombia
By NPR News | January 18, 2019
About one-third of the more than 3 million Venezuelans who have fled their nation's deep economic crisis have settled in next-door Colombia. But some of these refugees, instead of finding safe haven, are being recruited into Colombia's guerrilla groups, human rights and military officials tell NPR.
It is unclear how many Venezuelans have joined the rebels. But Col. Arnulfo Traslaviña, the army commander in the northern Colombian state of Arauca on the Venezuelan border, said there are "several dozen."
Traslaviña said eight Venezuelans were killed last June when the army bombed a guerrilla camp in Arauca that was run by dissident members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as the FARC, a rebel group that largely disarmed under a 2016 peace treaty. He said that four more Venezuelans who joined the dissidents were captured this month following a botched kidnapping in Arauca.
"This is clear proof that they are recruiting Venezuelans," Traslaviña said in an interview Jan. 10 at the army base in Arauca.
Arauca has become a prime recruiting ground for Venezuelan refugees. The state shares a 250-mile frontier with Venezuela and is home to several hundred FARC dissidents as well as a second rebel group, the National Liberation Army, or ELN. Colombian Defense Minister Guillermo Botero is blaming the ELN for a car bomb attack Thursday at a police academy in Bogotá that killed 21 people and injured dozens more. He said the vehicle's driver, who also died in the attack, was an ELN explosives expert who was based in Arauca.
Human rights activists say Venezuelans often come into contact with guerrillas as they attempt to cross the Arauca River, which forms the border and is partially under rebel control.
Jobless, hungry and disoriented, refugees are especially vulnerable to rebel offers, says Xiomara Sánchez, a government human rights official in the town of Arauca. The guerrillas "take advantage of their neediness," she says.
Another human rights official told NPR that the rebels offer food, shelter and the equivalent of $300 per month. That's a small fortune for newcomers from Venezuela where the country's currency has collapsed and the monthly minimum wage amounts to less than $10.
"Some of the recruits are minors — 15 or 16 years old — which in our view amounts to forced recruitment," the official said. She moves around with a bodyguard because she has received death threats stemming from her investigations and asked that NPR not reveal her name.
Juan Carlos Villate, a government human rights official in Tame — a town in Arauca state that is home to about 5,000 Venezuelans — told NPR that the rebels initially offer migrants seemingly innocuous jobs as cooks and laborers, but that some end up as combatants.
All this comes at a time when Colombia's half-century-old guerrilla war was supposed to be winding down.
Under the terms of the 2016 peace treaty, the FARC's 7,000 fighters turned in their weapons. Since then, the FARC has become a legal political party and was granted 10 seats in Colombia's congress until 2024. The ELN has also been involved in on-again-off-again peace talks.
However, disgruntled FARC members — some of whom claim the government had ignored its peace treaty obligations to help them transition to civilian life — began rearming.
Separate peace negotiations between the government and the National Liberation Army have stalled. Members of both that group and the FARC dissidents are involved in kidnappings, extortion, illegal mining and drug trafficking. Colombian intelligence reports estimate there are as many as 3,000 FARC dissidents, while the ELN numbers about 2,500 fighters.
"The situation is going to get worse because these groups are bolstering their ranks with immigrants," Villate said. "And the number of Venezuelans arriving here is getting bigger by the day."
To dissuade them from falling into the hands of rebels, criminal gangs or prostitution rings, the Colombian government and international agencies have launched food, education and health care programs.
At a mobile medical unit set up on a bridge spanning the Arauca River, Colombian nurses provide Venezuelan migrants and their children with vaccinations and family planning information. For those trying to move on, the government has put up posters with maps and information on bus fares and routes to Bogotá, the Colombian capital, as well as to neighboring Ecuador and Peru.
Meanwhile, government social workers, like Lisandro Sarmiento, roam the slums that line the Arauca River and are home to throngs of Venezuelans. In a two-room shack made of wood and aluminum sheeting, he meets Jessica Marín, 33, an unemployed Venezuelan mother of three. Nearby sits her bored-looking 15-year-old son, who is not enrolled in school and fits the profile of those targeted by rebel recruiters. Sarmiento patiently explains the red tape that refugees must cut through to place their children in schools.
But openly talking to refugees about the guerrillas is taboo because plainclothes rebel militias roam Arauca, keeping a close watch on their activities, said the human rights official who requested anonymity.
"To warn them that the rebels are recruiting would be very dangerous for us," she said. "All we can do is tell them about some of the risks that they face in Colombia and how to get help. But we can't directly mention any group by name."

Passport-Free Travel Starts Between Turkey, Ukraine
ANKARA, Turkey -- A deal between Turkey and Ukraine allowing their citizens to travel to each other's country without passports took effect on Thursday.
Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim.
Under the reciprocal travel agreement inked by Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Groysman on March 14, citizens of both countries will only need to show their national ID cards for stays of up to 90 days.
Kiev's ambassador in Ankara Andrii Sybiha said both Turkey and Ukraine will benefit from the agreement, Xinhua reported.
Last year, over one million tourists from Ukraine visited Turkey, while more than 200,000 Turkish tourists travelled to Ukraine.
Ukraine has seen a 30 percent increase in these numbers this year in a bid to boost tourism, Sybiha said.
Turkey has become the largest tourism destination for Ukrainians as nearly 75 percent of 1.5 million Ukrainian tourists that travel overseas visit Turkey, the Hotels Association of Turkey (TUROB).
There was a 48 per cent year-on-year increase in the number of Ukrainian tourists visiting Turkey in 2016 despite many difficulties hitting the sector, TUROB said.
According to TUROB, more than half of Ukrainian tourists to Turkey visited the Mediterranean resort of Antalya, with an 82 per cent year-on-year increase, and the growth trend is expected to continue this year.

JackSepticEye is one of the most popular creators on YouTube, but how did he get to where he is? lWe look back at his YouTube story, for your enjoyment. We'll cover his life, his channel, his most popular videos and more!
February 7th 1990: Sean McLouglin is born in Athlone, Ireland.

November 16th 2013: He uploads his first Happy Wheels video:
The game would prove to be an excellent choice for Jack, and became an early hit for his channel.
August 15th 2014: Jack uploads his first FNAF video
But it wouldn't be his last. Much like his good friend Markiplier, Jack attracted huge viewership with his hilarious FNAF play-throughs.
August 20th 2014: Jack draws his life
This gave his viewers a glimpse into the details of his life, and now we're sharing it inside an article which is doing the same thing. Inception-y, no?

Arden Girls Lacrosse - Established 1995 by Carolyn Johnson
Carolyn Johnson started the Arden Girls lacrosse league in 1995 after seeing a need in the community. The Crownsville resident, mother of 5 who grew up in Arden herself didn't understand why her girls needed to travel miles away to play lacrosse when Arden Recreation was right down the road. She also saw a gap in the feeder system to local high schools, noticing that the local lacrosse program was lacking the skill and attention needed to give girls in our community an opportunity to play lacrosse in college (in comparison with other very competitive county high school lacrosse programs).
The Johnson family has been a lifetime supporter of Arden Recreation* and Carolyn knew that a lacrosse league could be successful at their local, beloved recreation center. But Carolyn didn't just want to start a few teams; she wanted to build a program that fostered mentor-like relationships between coaches and players to build a community of girls with confidence and a philanthropic spirit.
Carolyn executed this vision by first reaching to the local high school women's lacrosse team. She asked a few high school girls (her oldest daughter included) to volunteer as coaches so they could teach players technical skills and the rules of the game, but also so they could serve as role models for these young girls. Funding was tight, so the girls used old soccer uniforms and Carolyn worked with local lacrosse retailers for financial support and volunteers like Bill Arnold who built the very first Arden Lacrosse goals.
After the first season, the popularity of girls lacrosse at Arden grew and those interested came together to raise funding for additional equipment and uniforms. Summer car washes at the Crownsville Bank of Glen Burnie were one of the favorite community events.
Carolyn also brought the girls together for an annual day of service to teach them the importance of giving back to the community. Service days included volunteer trips to Sarah's House, The Chrysalis House, Koman Maryland Race for the Cure, and Bobbie Burnett's Stain Glass Studio, benefiting "Camp Sunrise" summer camp for children with cancer.
As the program developed, so did the girls skill level. Many girls wanted to attend competitive summer lacrosse camps and clinics to further refine their skills and prepare them for college level lacrosse, but the expense of many competitive summer camps can be exorbitant. Carolyn recruited Division I college lacrosse coaches and players to volunteer as camp staff so she could create an affordable alternative. She used the same model to host affordable pre-season clinics to improve skills and prepare the older girls for high school lacrosse try-outs. Within 4 years, the first Arden Girls' Lacrosse team won the county championship. Countless Arden lacrosse players have gone on to play competitively in high school and college, and many of them come back to Arden to coach. The Arden Girls' Lacrosse program has expanded to be a well recognized program in the area and continues to serve the local community today.
*Carolyn's husband, Severn Johnson, was a long time girls' softball coach at Arden for 8 years.
*Carolyn's mother, Joan Roberson, Co-founded the first Arden girls softball team 1971.
*Carolyn's children (Rene', Kelly, Tracy, Ashley and Stephanie) all participated and coached Arden sports teams throughout the 1990's.

Building materials fell from the top of one of Plymouth's tallest buildings into a busy road – narrowly avoiding passing cars.
A shocked bystander who saw two or three wooden objects fall from the top of Crescent Point said they would have killed anyone they hit.
A box and plank were among the items which fell into Notte Street as a crane worked on the top of the student flats at 8.40am yesterday.
The passerby, who wants to remain anonymous, said that the road was busy with traffic – but people could negotiate their way around the debris.
The witness immediately called the Health and Safety Executive, which confirmed that it was sending an inspector to the site.
He took photographs, seen by The Herald, which show a wooden box and plank in the road.
The Crescent Point site is cordoned off right to the edge of the pavement in Notte Street and yards from the road.
The Health and Safety Executive confirmed it is aware of an incident at Crescent Point and is investigating.
A spokesman for Pickstock Construction told The Herald: "We can confirm that the material was not from the crane as the crane's lift is restricted within the site boundary."


On Friday 15th February, 2013 the St. Kitts-Nevis Student Association (SKNSA) at the University of the West Indies Cavehill Campus elected its new executive members for the term 2013-2014.
The Executive is as follows: President: Mechelle Liburd; Vice President: Lanein Blanchette; Treasurer: Krysta Liburd-Clarke; Secretary: Crios Freeman; Returning Officer JeNise Carty; Public Relations Officer: Danni Maynard; Cultural Officer: Laresa Harrigan.
SKNSA is a non-profit student association comprised of nationals of the Federation who are studying at the University of the West Indies Cavehill Campus. In addition to promoting the Kittitian-Nevisian identity, culture and talent on campus and to foster greater integration among its members and those of other Island Associations, the association is geared towards providing support to all nationals at the campus, to help them adjust to life at UWI Cavehill and life in Barbados on a whole.
The Association has several activities planned throughout the year and first event on the agenda is the Annual SKNSA Awards and Farewell Dinner for members who are in their final semester, completing their respective programmes. As is customary a high-standing public figure from the Federation will be invited, as featured speaker for the event.
We thank the general public for their continued support.

Under the Equality Act 2010 public bodies are required to develop and publish equality objectives every four years after consultation with the public.
The council's overall vision is for the Island to be a great place to live, work and visit.
To consider the needs of community and staff when making decisions.
To ensure reasonable and proportionate treatment of its customers.
To apply robust Equality and Diversity requirements in the commissioning and management of procured services.
Following public consultation these Equality Objectives were approved by the Isle of Wight Council's Executive on 24th March 2015.
To identify how these objectives will be met an Equality Objectives Action Plan has been produced which can be viewed by clicking here (PDF, 86KB, 7 pages).
This plan will run from 2015 to 2018 and will be reviewed on a six monthly basis to ascertain progress.
Strategic Equality and Diversity Board – comprises of service managers and trade union representatives. The board has the responsibility to lead the strategic direction of Equality and Diversity matters, including ensuring that the Equality Objectives are met. This includes reviewing the position of Equality Impact Assessments, devising learning and other interventions as well as maintaining an overview of equality and diversity strategy and policy development.
Staff Equality Group – comprises of staff and trade union representatives. This group meets to assist in the delivery and review of the Equality Objectives Action Plan and the group also considers staffing issues in respect of equality and diversity, providing support and advice where appropriate. The group is not only involved in consultation and consideration of new and established council processes, but it also has a social and pastoral function that supports the promotion of equality and diversity issues.

André-Marcel Adamek, de son vrai nom Dammekens, né à Gourdinne, le , et décédé le , après de longues années de maladie, est un écrivain belge d'expression française

Biographie
Adamek est né à Gourdinne en 1946, d'un père cheminot belge et d'une mère normande, fille de marin. Ce dernier trait instruit la thématique marine de son œuvre, d'où son avant-dernier roman, paru en 1999, chez Bernard Gilson et Castor Astral Le plus grand sous-marin du monde. Sa vie d'errance le conduira vers cette mer, comme elle poussera son héros de cet autre récit fabuleux, La fête interdite, paru en 1999 (et réédité en micro-roman chez Bernard Gilson en 1999).

Tour à tour steward sur la malle Ostende-Douvres, fabricant et commerçant de jouets (on lui doit l'invention de la crèche parlante et du porte-bouteilles superposable), grossiste en papeteries, éleveur de chèvres en Ardenne, ensuite nègre puis éditeur installé aux confins de l'Ardenne et la Famenne (les éditions Memory Press). Il a notamment édité Albin-Georges Terrien.

Œuvres
« Redynamisant le roman par des intrigues fougueuses, un comique fraternel, un sens du fantastique, il raconte la vie de gens simples évoluant dans une nature fabuleuse, et imprime à ses œuvres une couleur poétique non exempte de truculence ». (Pascale Haubruge, Le Soir)

Parfaitement construits, écrits dans une langue maîtrisée et classique qui laisse la bride au récit, ces romans ne sont pas à proprement parler fantastiques ainsi que pourrait le faire croire une édition en un seul volume de plusieurs œuvres à la Renaissance du Livre, sous le titre de Les maîtres de l'Imaginaire. Plutôt fabuleux. Au sens multiple du terme. Tenant de la fable moderne, du symbolique et d'un imaginaire proche du quotidien, " réalistes " en quelque sorte. Ce mariage étrange, difficile à cerner dans un commentaire, innerve la nature du roman d'Adamek.

Ce nom d'emprunt est étrange : il y a de l'Adam en lui, ou la recherche du mystère humain, d'une humanité oscillant entre l'appel du large (et de l'infini inatteignable, encore le thème de la mer), et un enracinement forcé dans la terre, le lieu, la grotte parfois, tel ce héros du  Maître des jardins noirs (aux éditions Bernard Gilson en micro-roman ou à la Renaissance du Livre).

Ce voyage vers l'ailleurs et cet enfoncement dans la glèbe articule entre autres thèmes, l'univers du romancier fantastique qui nous revient avec un roman destiné à la jeunesse mais que l'adulte appréciera comme les autres récits, Le retour au village d'hiver (Labor, 2002).

Dans son roman L'Oiseau des morts (réédition en micro-roman, Bernard Gilson, 1997), l'auteur centre son récit uniquement sur une corneille.

Calvin Crowell was a simple man.
He was far removed, mind you, from being a simpleton, although those who didn't know him might quickly forge that idea as a first impression.
I remember my first impression of him. I thought he was a scarecrow come to life. Kind of scary, actually.
That was back when I had barely entered my teenage years, not long after my family had moved from Sutter Siding, a whistle stop in Tazewell County on the Illinois Terminal rail line, to a rented farm house a mile north of Armington.
I never had the privilege and pleasure of getting a weekly allowance. The Old Man's idea of an allowance was that he allowed it was fine and dandy for me and my siblings to have spending money – as long as we worked for it. Chores around the house didn't count, they were freebies, the things we were expected to do as part of family life.
I'd earned my first $20 when I was in sixth grade, cutting weeds in two soybean fields on the east side of the Illinois Terminal tracks near our home. That fall was the first time I paid for my own school clothes – new jeans, shirts, socks and underwear. Moving forward from that monumental shopping trip, I always managed to find farm jobs in our rural Tazewell County neighborhood and had enough cash to buy my own fresh duds for school each fall. As the years progressed and the summer farm jobs became more available, I was able to stash a few dollars away after I'd paid for my school garb.
When we moved away from Sutter Siding, I was concerned because I didn't know any of the Armington-area farmers who might have jobs that required the able assistance of greenhorns who willingly worked for low wages. Would I have to turn to my parents for cash assistance in buying school clothes?
Omar and Lillian Seniff came to my rescue. They ran the Armington IGA. After a few visits there with my stepdad, the Seniffs offered me a part-time job as a stock clerk and carry-out boy. I was on top of my game, working two afternoons a week after school and every Saturday, earning $1.25 an hour, which was a bit more than I was paid for all those farm jobs I'd taken around Sutter Siding.
Still, I was anxious to make more money and I soon found how to accomplish that. The sweet spot was a storefront just across the alley from the IGA on Armington's main drag. That's where Tucker's Feed Store was located. It didn't take long to learn the feed store was where young boys around Armington hung out in the mornings. Sure, they'd buy a candy bar and, if their finances allowed, yank a dripping bottle of soda from the big Coca Cola tank filled with ice-cold water.
But the main reason my peers hung around Tucker's was to find work. The feed store was where local farmers came to find guys who wanted jobs bailing hay, cleaning out a barn, cutting brush and weeds from fence rows, just about any farm job that required much more brawn than brains. Grumpy Owen Tucker never minded running an employment service out of his store. In fact, he probably appreciated the nickels, dimes and quarters we'd spend while waiting for someone who needed a little cheap farm labor.
In the summertime, I started working three full days a week at the grocery store. More money. But, realizing I could always reap rewards from having a fuller wallet, I began hanging out at the feed store on my days off. It paid off with a wide assortment of chores area farmers needed tackled.
On one of those days, Louis Hasenmeyer, who farmed south of Armington on U.S 136, came into Tucker's looking for not a hired man, but for a couple of temporary teenage grunts to help put up hay that afternoon. My Hittle Township High School friend and classmate Kyle Horner and I stepped up and were quickly in the cab of Hasenmeyer's pickup.
When we pulled off the highway and into Louis Hasenmeyer's lane, I spotted this gangly figure on his knees with his nose deep into the engine compartment of a Ford 9N tractor. Wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat and well-worn bib overalls, this tall, skinny fellow looked an awful lot like the scarecrow from the "Wizard of Oz" as he headed our way.
We stepped out of the pickup and Louis Hasenmeyer introduced us. "This is Calvin, my hired man." With grinning teeth showing under a big pointed nose and eyes that looked like they could indeed stare a hole through a suit of armor, Calvin reached out a hand with a warning he was "gonna work your butts off" this afternoon. He did.
With the long, hot dusty job of bucking bales on a rack wagon, Kyle Horner and I were showing fatigue after a few hours of riding on the hayrack and stacking bales of hay after they were belched out by the tractor-drawn baler. Calvin had the gravy job that day of pulling the racks of hay to the barn and back to the field. He'd always have some smart-aleck remark to make when we helped him hook up a loaded hay rack to the little Ford tractor.
In the heat of the day, however, Calvin got off his tractor, hopped on the hayrack and started helping my classmate and me stack the bales. "I could see your butts are draggin'," he laughed. Calvin talked a mile a minute, often telling jokes or delivering funny one-liners that rejuvenated us young bucks. And, it only took a half-turn down the hay field to realize Calvin was a working fool.
I must have performed satisfactorily since I made many return trips to the Hasenmeyer farm to tackle a variety of chores through my high school years. I learned that Calvin became Louis's hired man when he was 16 years old. Louis and Ruth Ann Hasenmeyer never had any children and I heard a lot of neighboring farmers opine that the couple had essentially adopted Calvin as his son. It also was common knowledge in the Armington farming community that when it came time for Louis Hasenmeyer to buy a new tractor, he always bought two – one for himself and one for Calvin.
Like our own family, the Crowells lived up a half-mile lane surrounded by corn and soybean fields. Calvin and his wife Mary raised four children. Our family and the Crowells eventually become friends. It didn't take long for the scarecrow image to melt away and a different aura emerged. I discovered the true Calvin – a man who knew nothing but hard work all his life and never complained about it.
After working all day on the farm, his pleasure was tending to a huge vegetable garden that fed his wife and kids. Hoeing and pulling weeds, picking sweet corn and green beans, digging potatoes, that was his life during the warm-weather season.
When Louis Hasenmeyer retired and moved with Ruth to Lincoln, Calvin found another farm close to Lincoln that needed a hired hand. That's where he moved, and that's where he died at age 84 on Monday. His equally hard-working wife Mary had passed before him, in 2011. Calvin's family was by his side when he died.
Truly, he was a gentle man who loved his family. He kept them well fed and very much amused with his corny banter and jokes. His children always spoke fondly of their dad, especially in the years after they had left the farm and started their own lives and families. It was always so obvious how much love they returned to their father.

I stumbled across the website for a new product recently, and I would like to declare that Bacon Salt appears to simultaneously be both the greatest, and the worst, condiment idea in the history of mankind.
First, let's meet the founders, "Justin and Dave" (note:I have no evidence those are their real names). As you can see by the totally natural poses they are striking in the picture below, Bacon Salt is hip, fun and in-your-face!!! Yeaaaaaah!
Now here is where the marketing pitch starts to go wrong. I don't know about you, but when I think "Bacon Expert" I usually don't picture a skinny, balding guy in a sweater vest.
However, this is the point where I should note that "Justin and Dave" are totally hip to the series-of-tubes we call the internets, and thus are bloggers themselves. The name of their blog is, shocker! The Bacon Salt Blog. Here they blog about the many uses for, you guessed it…Bacon Salt!
Why WOULD you have regular fries if you could have bacon fries? Bacon fries? That sounds f-ing delicious. I would like to pre-emptively declare that this thought process should be applied to all fast food. Why would you have a vanilla shake when you can have a bacon-vanilla shake? Bacon Salt makes everything better!
So "Justin and Dave", now that I've said my peace, let me confess: I'm jealous. You guys are living the American dream. Assuming, of course, that the American dream involves convicing people that no matter what food they are eating, it would taste better if it tasted like bacon.
So Good would like to extend an official congratulations to the creators of Bacon Salt. You've come up with an idea for a new condiment that is so, so, soooooooooo good.
Just wanted to point out that one of the testimonials on their site even used your 'So Good' catchphrase (see below). Looks like your catchphrase is catching on with the obese grade school demographic.
Thank you for alerting me to the existence of this fine product! Unlike your dad, I need a reason to eat popcorn – a reason that consists of more than exploded corn. And since popcorn is one of the few things A.1. sauce can't improve, I'm left with the lame choices of "butter" or "salt". Unless you count the "golden flavor" motor oil they sell at the movies. Which I do not. What other food service industry could your server get away with saying "would you like butter with your bread?" and when you say "yes, that would be lovely I do so enjoy butter…" they squirt "golden" flavored industrial lubricants on your food with an old bicylcel pump instead? There would be lawsuits. There should be lawsuits. I think So Good should do an expose' on the charlatanry that is "Golden Flavor Topping".
If I can't get real butter on my popcorn at the movies, I can at least smuggle in my own bottle of BaconSalt. Popcorn needs "something", and I agree with Chuck H. – everything would be better with bacon.
Um, I know at least three people who will flip out when I tell them that this exists… my husband being one of them.
BaconSalt is now sold in UK by Crazy4Flavour.co.uk – £2.95 a bottle (that's the same price as from USA!) plus postage.
BaconSalt (not 'bacon salt' – it's actually low-salt) really is good on (just about) everything. And I don't know about Dave, but Justin-of-the-bald-head-and-sweater-jumper is real enough!
I've got to know Justin during the last year when I've been importing BaconSalt (and Baconnaise) into UK for lovers here. I found it was expensive shipping across a few jars and thought 'somebody should sell it here' – but nobody did – so I did!
As for 'fries' (we call them 'chips' in Britain), we find that passing around Bacon-Salt'ed fries at food fairs brings customers flocking to our stand – it tastes that good!
Also stocking Baconnaise (Bacon-flavoured mayo) and Bacon Ranch Dressing mix, as well as spices from the "East"; Saffron Threads, Black Lemon Powder, Arabian Bland, and Za'atar (Zatar) spice.

The [Un]Surprising Alt-Right

The night that Barack Obama was elected President in 2008, the White supremacist web forum Stormfront lit up with posts about racial extremists' fantastical visions of violence to combat "White racial genocide." On election night 2016, Stormfront lit up again as White supremacists expressed triumph with Donald Trump's victory. They celebrated: "We finally have one of us in the White House again!"
Since the election, observers have tried to explain the sudden rise of the so-called alt-right, but to those who track the far right, there's nothing sudden about it. Long before election night, White supremacists had become savvy at outwardly masking their real beliefs and intentions while most wrote them off as politically innocuous wackos. Having bided their time, they are reemerging to try to capitalize on a racially recharged political climate.
The collective surprise at White supremacists' arrival on the national stage reflects a lack of attention to the varied and persistent forms of racial extremism that have long simmered in America. Since their heyday in the mid-1920s through the Civil Rights era, white-hooded Ku Klux Klansmen have stood as the timeworn face of White supremacy. In the 1980s, neo-Nazi skinheads fused a racist ideology and a punk youth aesthetic with visions of a global Aryan movement. Their militant public displays drew new attention, along with strong challenges from authorities and anti-racist groups.
Facing a mainstream culture that vilified racial extremism, White supremacists gradually withdrew from most public forms of activism. Movement leaders told their followers to avoid repression by limiting overt displays of their allegiance. Thus, many racial extremists began living double lives: they covered their racist tattoos, grew out their hair, hid extremist insignia, and outwardly projected an image that concealed their beliefs. Leaders also encouraged them to infiltrate institutions to secure influence. For instance, the FBI has watched White supremacists quietly maintain an active presence in police departments and other law enforcement agencies, while others nurtured their hatred in seemingly benign, everyday settings such as family homes, Bible study meetings, and local bars. They found sanctuary on the Internet, embracing concealment as a savvy survival strategy. As leaders advocated lone-wolf attacks to spark a "race war," White supremacist activism morphed into a mostly veiled struggle to withstand integrationist forces.
Some racial extremists also worked to reframe their rhetoric to appeal to mainstream conservative Whites. To neutralize the public stigma associated with White supremacy, they recast racial and anti-Semitic hatred as "White heritage preservation," "White nationalism," and, most recently, "the alt-right." This sanitized "white-collar supremacy," as religious historian Kelly J. Baker calls it, casts Whites as minority victims facing reverse discrimination. Their rebranded White supremacy aligns with broader populist conspiratorial anxieties about demographic change, immigration, and governmental overreach pushed by far-right pundits and networks of militia, sovereign citizens, nativists, Patriots, Tea Partiers, Oathkeepers, and Birthers.
We must be clear: White supremacists beliefs have not changed. They only hope to create a softer veneer for their virulent racial and anti-Semitic hate. As the ADL notes, the neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement, recently declared a ban on the swastika as a cosmetic overhaul intended to rebrand their look, draw in patriotic White Americans, and secure political power. These efforts are nothing more than a ploy to disguise the worst form of racial extremism.
We must also come to terms with the very real dangers racial extremism poses. For generations, White supremacy has spawned terror. Lone wolves like Dylan Roof lash out, believing they can save White America. For his part, Roof was directly inspired by the Council of Conservative Citizens' "cleaned up" and rebranded White nationalism, which many observers thought would not motivate violence. The post-election wave of racial and ethnically charged crimes reflects a new boldness among racists and anti-Semites. But, if they do not attain the political power they feel entitled to during Trump's presidency, we may still reasonably fear more extreme violence from those frustrated by the limits of institutional politics.
