Earlier than we look into different types of entertainment, first let's outline what entertainment is. Entertainment is any form of activity that gives amusement for folks in a passive manner, different entertaining activities that contain collaborating are thought of recreation or hobbies. Their objective was to offer a mutually useful WIN-WIN-WIN solution that related consumers looking to spend less on the issues they like to do, companies looking for to extend their buyer base and colleges and neighborhood teams looking for effective fundraising solutions.
It's going to turn into more aggressive for jobs as more individuals eschew giving up an hour or two of their time to observe film and tv, in favor of chatting with buddies on-line or making movies of their own utilizing cheap excessive definition camcorders to add to YouTube.
43. A ventriloquist can be a great entertainment alternative that can play well for youths or adults depending on the performer. They can preserve the gang entertained and guantee that the social gathering is a fun place to be. The length of time that they play for the group might fluctuate although.
Movie lovers are an fascinating bunch in that they really take their movie watching severely, which can typically be slightly intimidating should you're just a casual movie watcher. An impressive movie and perhaps one of many all time biggest examples of film noire. The Characters: The second most vital issue of any good movie is the characters of the story. Time – Folks, particularly these on the increased rungs of the movie trade lack time.
There are, no doubt, many the reason why certain movies are released at certain times. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Discovered to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb – There isn't a lot to say here except that you need to watch this movie. Just know that the person behind the digicam answered a Craigslist advert to create a "day in the life" video diary for Josef (Mark Duplass), who actually loves life.
So here we go, one of the best 10 movies about 'magic' of 'all time'. Why we need to see it: The gossip woman goes gone lady on this suspense drama, with Energetic hiding behind her trademark blonde waves as a mysterious femme fatale and Kendrick as her blissfully ignorant finest good friend (Twilight" vibes, anybody?) — till, in fact, Full of life's character goes missing after asking Kendrick's for a easy favor." Oh, and a particular shout out to whomever determined to characteristic the ever-debonair Golding in love scenes with both.
There aren't many biopics that also move for decent action movies. Brierley's life story is the setup for a feel-good drama, and Lion lands the life affirmations with out schmaltzing up the hardships. The primary film to hit the primary spot in it is first time at bat on this checklist in an extended while: The First Purge, the prequel to the movies all about the future of the nice American experiment.
Do you might have a movie checklist in a notebook, in your submitting cabinet, or in your computer? If you are tired of trying to find the very best answer for organizing your movies into residence movie lists, then that is the software program that you've been looking for. The story is based on the memoirs of real life father David Sheff and his son Nic Sheff, who struggled with meth dependancy.
Todd Haynes' story about lesbian love within the Nineteen Fifties is a beautiful movie from begin to finish: from the course (each frame is as lush as a painting) to the awards-worthy performances (Rooney Mara as the gawky, vulnerable Therese and Cate Blanchett as the alluring, completely coiffed Carol – severely, give this girl's hair-swoop its own award).
Family support, patience, and love are central themes in this story, plus the first deal with painting and artwork. McKellen´s first entry into the general public consciousness of pop culture, he would play Magneto in four successive films, his successor Michael Fassbender modelling his accent on a tutorial McKellen gave on ´Macbeth 'in 1979.


So I got this wine last Sunday and let me tell you, it was so good! Every Sunday my beau and I pick an activity to do and then we rock out for the rest of the day. We both work in the same industry so when we get a chance to hide from the world we take full advantage! Sunday's activity: Wine Tasting.
Since we like to tuck away on Sunday's we decided to take a trip to Total Wine to search for something new to sip on, and then it's Netflix and chill for the rest of the day. We saw a few wines that looked pretty interesting but this bottle seriously caught our eye. I am a huge fan of moscato, plus my favorite color is blue so guest what? Perfect match.
I think I found my new signature wine! It has officially been added to the creative collection on my balcony. My pen, notebooks, macbook and now Blue Moscatel is the new winning formula for Sunday Funday! Cheers and let me know if you get a chance to try it one day.

Sick Halep claims Shenzhen title
11th-Jan-2015
World number three Simona Halep refused to let illness beat her as she collected her ninth WTA Tour title by downing Timea Bacsinszky in the Shenzhen Open final on Saturday.
The Romanian showed why she is among the favourites to lift a first grand slam at the Australian Open later this month by dominating her giant-killing opponent in a 6-2 6-2 rout.
Swiss Bacsinszky had beaten double Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova of Czech Republic in the semis but she couldn't make an impression on an unwell Halep.

I haven't had my vocabulary increased in a long time. I can't wait to use the word.
For those who might not know, and I hope I haven't mentioned this recently, there is a very good biography of Jerome Caradan titled Cardano's Cosmos written by Anthony Grafton, Princeton University Press. Cardan was difficult, but he had a difficult life. He was illegitimate and that stigma hurt his chances at the University and finding employment. His son, a physician, was executed for murdering his wife. Life was not easy for him. He was also brilliant. For those of you how know some mechanics, you may have heard of the "universal joint," two rods joined together at a joint that permits a rod to "bend" in any direction. It is used in mechanics today.
Cardan invented it. He also invented a form of algebra. We're not talking ordinary man here.
Unfortunately, very little of his astrology has been translated into English.
He is well worth knowing though.
Both Cardan and Morin seemed to delight in explaining how their 12th house Sun's perfectly described their odious ways. I have always thought that there are a lot of similarities between them. But Morin had privileges whereas Cardan did have many tables turned against him from the start because he was illegitimate. I know less about Morin�s life, but I�m sure Tom will correct me if I'm wrong.
Historical characters do generally dwell upon their faults and flaws, and maybe we don't understand how this was actually an attempt to be humble or self-penitent. Kepler does it too, in some of his letters, but from everything I can see Kepler was a thoroughly decent man, driven by his conscience. Though I do get the sense that he could be obstroculous too. Maybe all astrologers are. We all like to think of ourselves as free-thinkers today, but it wasn't so easy to be a free-thinker in the past when society's limits were more rigid.
Although it is obvious I really enjoy Morin, I think he was more than a little unfair with Cardan. Criticism is OK. If you publish anything, you have to expect some criticism. But if we read Holden's translations carefully and read his notes (I am footnote obsessed. I read them all), you'll see at times Morin either misread or misstated some of the people he criticized. There are differences in the way the two men approached astrology. Cardan tried to develop Ptolemy; Morin tried to bury him.
I note in the rectification thread Steven mentioned Dr. Dykes observation about the apparent contemporary need to control astrology. The observation is valid; it just isn't a new phenomenon.
The way I understand Morin's astrology is that he was searching for precision. Morin is also the first major astrologer in my mind that criticized Ptolemy in a meaningful way. Ptolemy is not God. Cardan was the best known astrologer of Morin's day, although he died 7 years before Morin was born. He was a natural target. It is also noteworthy that Morin attacks some of Cardan's philosophy and ideas. He never says, to my knowledge, that Cardan was an inferior astrologer. His only fault was not agreeing with Morin.
From what I can gather of their respective personalities, Cardan was difficult and grumpy - maybe an angry man. Morin was pompous, full of himself, and very French. Nasty personal attacks are not limited to Morin. If we read Grafton's biography, we'll see that Cardan and Guarico were equally adept at exchanging insults. There is very little new under the Sun.
Morin did have a somewhat easier life, but he had money problems. One of the side benefits of studying these people is the realization of how lucky I am to be born at a time and place where my life is determined by my efforts and abilities, not by the conditions of my birth. Sure there are limits, but there are always limits. Cardan succeeded in a society that wanted nothing to do with him. If I went through my whole life having to endure nothing but people who wanted nothing to do with me, it would most likely be my fault.
Morin was university educated and had some social status. He was an advisor to Richelieu, a precarious position if there ever was one, but I think he had money problems from time to time. He did not suffer the social ostracism Cardan did, or if he did, it was not for the same reasons.
One story told by I think, Thorndike is worthy of note. While a child one of Morin's siblings asked him if one of his parents had to die, which would he prefer? This is the sort of thing kids do today. Morin, quite young, said he would prefer it if his mother died, and of course the sibling ran to his mother and told her. None of us would like hearing this, but we would probably chalk it off to a youngster who didn't know any better than to keep those things to himself. Morin's mother cut him out of the will.
Morin did blame his 12th house for everything that happened to him, but credited Jupiter in the 12th for not killing him off. Typical astrologer. Everything is the chart's fault.
Dear Deborah, Sasha, Tom, Steven and thanks for your explication.
After making more than my usual share of mistakes and getting my JC and GC mixed up, I finally manged to do a solar return for 1559 based on a 3 Gemini 00 natal ASC.
The natal ASC DSC axis is reversed. Mars (lances) is on the Sagittarius (horses) ASC. The Moon ruler of the natal second is in the SR second in detriment opposing the SR 8th (Regiomontanus) which she rules. She is trine Saturn in Taurus in the 5th (sport) on Algol. Saturn rules the natal 8th. The Sun, co ruler of the SR 8th and ruler of the natal 4th of endings is at the bottom of the chart.
Expanded version of the above. I posted this at the solar returns group earlier and verbatim.
I suggest it be read for all the necessary background material. For those who don�t know anything about the incident, Gaurico is said to have sent Henry a letter warning him not to joust, a favorite sport of his, in his 41st year due to the danger of head injury, blindness, possibly leading to death. In June of 1559 the King seeing two lances remaining decided to have a joust with a knight. When the two horsemen met, the lances splintered (common) and two large splinters flew through the king�s visor one piercing his jaw and going into his head the other piercing his eye. The king died an agonizing death 11 days later. Note: we cannot accuse Gaurico of rectifying the chart ex post facto as he died the year before the events transpired.
The question Deb�s article raises is this: since it is well established that the chart said to be used by Garico is known to be rectified, was it rectified after the fact, in order to make the predictions seem true, or was it rectified prior to the events as was the common practice of the day? Read the article for that interesting story.
Now Deb gives 9:04 LMT but when I do that I get Cancer rising so the above is my adjustment designed to get 3 Gemini on the ASC like Gadbury had. Therefore this could be off by about 4 minutes of clock time. That doesn�t affect what follows.
Is this enough to make such a prediction? I doubt it, but if he did in fact make such an observation, he didn�t actually predict the king would die that year. He told him there were dangers to his life and he could avoid them if he avoided jousting. This is what prompted me to look at the returns using Morin�s methods.
1) Does the chart �promise� a violent death? One could argue, a tad lamely, that the direction is part of the promise and therefore the chart in fact does show potential for violent death. OK, but is there anything else? Aldebaran rises �� danger of violence and sickness.� Mars opposes Saturn by sign and Saturn rules by domicile and Mars rules by exaltation the 8th house of death. Mars is also square the Sun (life force) whom he rules. There are at least indications of a violent death, and let�s recall Gaurico supposedly didn�t say he would die that way, only that the danger was present this year, i.e. within the accepted range of a primary direction.
Moderns will note there is a very wide cardinal grand cross in this chart, a rare formation. Sun opposes Jupiter both are square Mars and Mars widely, very widely opposes Saturn and opposes Pluto. Others may wish to work with that.
Let�s go to the solar return. I have no idea where he spent his birthday in 1559. So I used Paris as this is where he died and the most likely place. The difference between Paris and the birth location is a couple of minutes of arc. It changes virtually nothing.
March 30 1559 OS (Solar Fire will not calculate returns in this era NS even when they start that way. Ditto lunar returns. Look at the position of the sun and moon to make sure you�ve got it right.
Right off the bat we know something is up. The ASC-DSC axis is the reverse by sign from the natal. And Mars is on the ASC. The malefic south node is on the MC. The Moon, ruler of the SR 8th is in her detriment opposing the 8th cusp. But most interesting of all is Saturn. Saturn rules the natal 8th house and trine and in a mixed mutual reception with the Moon. Saturn is in Taurus and the Moon is in Capricorn. They are working together. But most ghastly of all is Saturn on the malefic fixed star Algol, associated with injuries to the head.
Not good. Let�s look at the lunar return in effect at the time of the King�s death.
All the angles repeat the angles in the nativity by sign. Saturn Lord 8 in the nativity and LR is in the 12 conjunct the natal ASC opposing Mars more tightly than it did in the nativity. Mars is in the 6th house of injury. The Sun, the life force, opposite the 8th house, and is conjunct natal Mars on Pollux (Sun on Pollux: blows stabs and serious accidents � Robson). Mercury Lord 5 (sport) in the LR and Lord ASC in this and the nativity is combust. Mars is on the violent fixed star Antares (� � destructive to themselves by their own obstinacy.� � Robson. The King was begged by his wife and his friends not to joust that day.
This may not make the case for the legitimacy of the rectification and prediction, but it doesn�t detract from it.
That's a very nice delineation, Tom.
But a question of history here: Wasn't the letter sent well before the King's death? I believe Gaurico pre-deceased Henry, so there's little chance he rectified the chart to make it look good after the fact.
Or am I mistaken here?
Someone has the text of Gaurico letter?
Where it could be found?
What I know of this is detailed in my article. The report of the letter was made by a contemporary historian. I don't know that the letter still exists (the king's friend told him to throw it on the fire). And the suggestion that the chart was rectified after the death is based on later publications of the chart differing from one that Gauricus published several years before the letter was supposed to have been written. However, we know that Gauricus was doing ongoing rectification, so he may have recified it himself (between the earlier publication and his own death), or some other astrologer might have done it after Henry's death. We don't know.
Thanks for the report of the Solar Return Tom. By the way, have you read the book "Transits and Solar Returns: A New System of Analysis for Two Ancient Methods"
by Ciro Discepolo. I have only just heard about it but it looks good. I'm thinking of getting it.

Thanks for your kind reply. Obviously I read the article and I liked very much, as Italian readers liked your interview made by Garry Phillipson.
It was published as opening article, I hope you had your copy too, but I believe yes, Dante Valente is from Milan, he is very precise.
About the letter, for what I understand surfing the net some references were included in a prognostication for the Duke of Ferrara in 1552. It is mentioned by his biographer Percopo at the end of 1800. So Percopo read something, if you say the letter to Caterina was destroyed, it should be another advise.
I believed someone had read exactly the text, or maybe Kolev quoted it, I could not understand, but now I understand nobody did, so the content is not clear.
"Transits and Solar Returns: A New System of Analysis for Two Ancient Methods" by Ciro Discepolo. I have only just heard about it but it looks good. I'm thinking of getting it.
I'm not sure it's traditional. Ciro Discepolo is very famous for relocated solar returns in Italy, especially because he sends people in the most strange and impossible to reach places in the world.
Still he has several followers. This is his blog.
Thanks Margherita. It looks like you might not have received an email I sent to you a couple of weeks ago, so I'll find it out and send it to you via Private Messaging in this forum.
No I have not heard of that book, but solar returns have grabbed hold of me, so I'll definitely look into it. Thanks for the tip.

I bought a used copy that was in almost untouched condition and have already sold it. I usually keep astrology books once I've decided to buy them. Not that one. It's loaded with a 'I found the correct way' attitude, which tends to clash with my correct way. One gets the impression that he is to be considered absolutely brilliant in sending people off to the right spot for their solar returns. It was printed on beautiful paper and did smell good, if I remember correctly.
I've just opened my list of private messages and I saw that many wrote me, but this is the very first I see them.
So I'm sorry I did not reply to any. Since now I will check them, I swear.


Fall is in the air & we've got some great tunes for your ear buds. This week's staff picks feature Showtek, One Republic, Armin van Buuren, Max Graham, & more. Dig in!

Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, released an Instagram video that showed her singing part of a song she had written – the first of her compositions to appear in public.
In a caption accompanying the video, Cobain wrote that she was "super restless, because I can't play guitar with long nails," which is why she sings without accompaniment. "Not having a TV in my house is the best decision, because I'm forced to occupy my time with things that feed my brain and soul instead of wasting energy on thinking about not having to think," she wrote.
Earlier this year, Cobain posted a video of herself singing the Leonard Cohen classic "Hallelujah," and in 2016, she shared a clip of herself playing Jimmy Eat World's "The Middle." Last December, she launched an additional Instagram account devoted to cooking; since then, she's added a handful of her own recipes.


In 1972, Hoefflin graduated first in his class from the UCLA Medical School where he was a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society. He was the recipient of the UCLA Student Scholastic Achievement Award.
He continued his education in general surgery and completed a plastic surgery residency training program at the UCLA Medical Center. He was the recipient of the coveted Surgical Medal Award. Hoefflin is Board-Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Hoefflin became Assistant Clinical Professor of Plastic Surgery at UCLA Medical Center in 1979. In 1989, he was promoted to Associate Clinical Professor.
Hoefflin was a member of numerous professional organizations where he regularly taught and lectured including The American Society for Plastic Surgeons, American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, a Fellow of The International College of Surgeons, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, the Plastic Surgery Educational Foundation, President of the Los Angeles Society of Plastic Surgeons and was President of the UCLA Plastic Surgery Society for 7 years and was awarded the UCLA Plastic Surgery Clinical Attending Teacher Award twice (1985, 1986).
Hoefflin was Chief of Plastic Surgery at Santa Monica-UCLA Hospital Medical Center (1982-1989), Chief of Plastic Surgery at Brotman Medical Center (1980-1985), was on the Medical School Admission Committee- UCLA School of Medicine (1980-1989).
Hoefflin has carried out cosmetic surgery on numerous celebrities, performing a skin graft to Jackson's scalp after the singer was burnt during the filming of a Pepsi commercial in 1984. In 1979, Jackson had his first rhinoplasty by Hoefflin. He later fell while dancing, broke his nose and complained of breathing difficulties and had a second operation by Hoefflin. However, his longest celebrity client was Joan Rivers.
Hoefflin performed a breast reduction, tummy tuck, two nose jobs, cheek implants, a browlift, eyelift, two facelifts, and a chemical peel for Phyllis Diller over several years.
During a salary dispute in 1997, Hoefflin was accused by four former colleagues (Kim Moore-Mestas, Lidia Benjamin, Barbara Maywood and Donna Burton) of unprofessional conduct towards celebrity clients. The Medical Board of California found no evidence of wrong-doing by Hoefflin. The four former staffers of Hoefflin signed a letter stating that the suit was a working draft that was "inadvertently filled" and that its allegations "were without sufficient factual or legal basis." The letter also expressed regret for "any inconvenience or embarrassment the filing of the complaint has caused."  According to Hoefflin, in August 2001, the four former employees who originally made the allegations issued apology letters to Hoefflin and paid a cash settlement.
Hoefflin married his first wife, Linda Manus, while still in college. They had two sons, Jeff and Brad, before divorcing in 1976. Hoefflin stated that as a doctor building a practice, "I just did not have time to nurture a relationship." Brad, who suffers from a degenerative neurological disease, lives with Hoefflin and his second wife, Pamela Wilson, at their home in Bel Air. Hoefflin is a descendant of United States President Benjamin Harrison, as well as Luis Terrazas who was the governor of Chihuahua, Mexico. Hoefflin started a Child Poverty Project in Guadalajara, Mexico. It expanded from Mexico City's trash dumps to the shanty town slums in the outskirts of Acapulco. Hoefflin has given prenatal and medical care and has taught other communities emergency care.
Hoefflin is a charcoal and pencil artist. He has trained for two years under the late Glen Orbik and Tim Gula at the California Arts Institute and under Jeffrey Watts at the Watts Atelier in Encinitas, California.

Plain packaging is of course in the headlines here, too, with calls for it to be introduced in the UK. The evidence suggests it wouldn't, as critics claim, reduce the level of smoking. Proponents would suggest, with some legitimacy, that plain packaging is worth doing anyway – it might not do any good, but it can't do any harm, right?
Wrong. Plain Packaging is a smuggler's charter. We tax tobacco so highly that the price of cigarettes is extraordinary. As a result, more and more cigarettes are brought from abroad or – more worryingly – counterfeited.
There is not a smoker alive who has been stood in Dubai Airport or at Calais who hasn't bought a few extra packets to enjoy at home. A town just across the Belgian border, Adinkerke, has become "something akin to a tobacco theme park" for Brits on a tobacco run. In a wonderful article, The Times suggests that most British visitors are in Adinkerke for 45 minutes – saving £400 per trip if they stick to the recommended customs allowance.
Quite. Last year, HM Treasury estimates it missed out on £1.1 billion worth of taxes from tobacco thanks to illegal smuggling. This is a huge figure. And here's the rub – it will most likely go up if plain packaging is introduced. Plain packaging will make smuggled packs from abroad more difficult to spot, as cigarettes brought abroad will be repackaged by professional smugglers into generic packaging. Counterfeit cigarettes, professing to be any number of well-known brands, can be put into the same plain packaging despite the fact that only the manufacturers know what sort of additional nasties lurk in the stick. Some 9% of the tobacco smoked last year had no interaction whatsoever with the Chancellor. That's an extraordinarily large black market and one that we must crack down on, not encourage.
High taxes don't just, then, hurt those who buy cigarettes. The Treasury loses cash that, with a £1.4 trillion credit card bill, it can scarcely do without. It's a similar story for alcohol duty. Making a pint so expensive in the local pub through beer duty and assorted other taxes have seen thirsty punters flocking to chains that can offer a cheaper pint thanks to economies of scale, has seen landlords squeezed for every penny buying cheaper bottles of beer brought over from Calais in the back of a van, and has resulted in many pubs going out of business – with the associated job and tax revenue losses – as punters have retreated to the comforts of home with a cheap six-pack from the supermarket. There's of course nothing wrong with buying beer at the supermarket but when that decision is made because of government regulations and taxes, it's a different story.
Well-meaning activists last week called for a regressive "sugar tax" that has been shown by international evidence to do very little other than push up the cost of food to those who can least afford to spend more on the weekly shop. Sin taxes rarely work, fall disproportionately on the poorest, and create obvious incentives to find ways around the taxman.
In short, on the ledger of public policy impacts, plain packaging appears to do nothing to discourage smoking and will make it easier for unscrupulous black marketeers to game the system for their own benefit. It's bad policy. It's time to drop it – once and for all.

If you're looking to maximize your Internet savings in Anita, you might want to look into a bundled package. Thousands of Anita members have discovered that the top Internet service providers in the area combine their services and offer amazing discounts as a benefit for signing up for multiple services. A bundle can help you to afford the Internet speeds you need, but also enjoy all of the other services from which you can benefit.
Oftentimes, it can be confusing what an Internet service provider means when they discuss the megabits per second when they speak about Internet speeds. The best way to glean what this means is to break down the acronyms. Internet speeds are outlined in terms of upload speeds and download speeds. Both of these are typically listed in Megabits per second or Gigabits per second. These are not the same as Megabytes per second or Gigabytes per second. Megabits or Gigabits per second are in reference to your Internet connection's ability to transfer files, data, and more to your family. The more you use your Internet for downloading movies, playing games, or interactive online activities, the more Megabits or Gigabits you'll need to keep your Anita home connected.
When you're ready to change Internet service providers or simply upgrade your plan, it's smart to audit the way you and your Anita family use the Internet. If you are oftentimes just surfing the Internet and checking emails, you will be fine with 10 Mbps of download speed. But, if you typically stream video and play online games, you should select a plan with more. Don't get confused about the difference between megabits per second and megabytes per second, either. Megabytes per second (MBps) refers to the size of a file being uploaded or downloaded while megabits per second (Mbps) is the speed at which your Internet connection will upload or download information.
In Anita, Spectrum has amazing bundle options available for you and your family. These will give you service from one of the superior Internet service providers in the country and the savings that comes along with it. By choosing to bundle your Internet through Spectrum, you can join the thousands of others in Anita that are loving their incredible savings and hi-speed Internet options.

Build A Solid Foundation for Success with Mary King
Great Britain's Mary King helped eventing clinic riders improve their performance with simple exercises that turned out to be not so easy.

Bundled in a Team Great Britain coat and furry headband to ward off Virginia's unusually frigid temperatures, six-time Olympic eventer Mary King displayed her dedication to correct riding throughout a two-day clinic at Morven Park in Leesburg last fall. The British eventing star used several deceptively simple exercises—that turned out to challenge many of the 20 riders and their horses—to improve their foundational skills. The clinic, organized by Kelly Gage of Team EnGaged Clinics, included young horses just starting their eventing careers to older horses competing at the three-star level.
Mary's focus on the first day was to improve the riders' positions and the horses' responses to the aids on the flat. This set the groundwork for the second day's eagerly awaited jumping work over fences that were angled, skinny or just plain tricky.
"Mary reinforces discipline and the importance of the basics," said clinic rider Jane Jennings afterward. Added another clinic rider, Megan Hinkle, "The most important lesson I learned from Mary was that the more solid your base is, the higher the pyramid you can build."
On the first day, every rider was reminded to work with the appropriate length stirrup for flatwork. Most were asked to put their stirrups down a hole or even two. Mary also pointed out that all tack should fit properly. One rider was asked to loosen her breastplate. A couple of saddles appeared to fit less than perfectly, causing her to comment on the relationship between good saddle fit and performance. She also discussed the fit of horses' protective equipment. She explained, for example, that if bell boots were too long, the horse could step on the back of them and fall, especially on cross country. Ideally, the bell boot should fit over only the heel bulb and not strike the ground as the horse travels. Mary uses pull-on boots that can be cut to the correct length.
Warm-up on the flat was 10 to 15 minutes of free work, including long-and-low walk, trot and canter. Watching the horses go around the large indoor arena, Mary explained that they must reach into a long frame to warm up all their muscles properly. As the horses stretched down and around, the riders needed to keep contact. This work also allows them to get out any "jollies" they might have, she added.
Mary also helped riders smarten up their positions throughout the warm-up. She encouraged them to ride with an upright body by "making the front of your body longer," a phrase she borrows from Carl Hester, a member of Great Britain's 2012 Olympic gold-medal dressage team. She reminded riders and auditors that the upright position allows the "bottom to sink into the saddle" and stressed taking time to focus on position in the warm-up.
Once the horses were warmed up and the riders' positions more solid, Mary asked them to practice a series of transitions starting with walk–trot–walk, followed by trot–canter–trot, walk–canter–walk and trot–halt–trot. Exercises for the more-advanced horses included canter–halt–canter and moving between collected, working and medium gaits. The lesson's intent was to sharpen the horses to the leg and seat aids and to have the riders become more effective with their bodies while becoming less reliant on the rein aid. No pair moved on from the basic walk–trot, trot–canter transitions until the horses were stepping into the down transitions and in front of the riders' legs and were sharp off the leg for the up transitions. If horses were sluggish and the riders used the spurs too often, Mary had them give a good slap with both legs. This helped the horses remember that the leg meant, "Go forward!" When a horse did not step down into a transition well, Mary reminded the rider to "keep the hind leg active" through the transition. In short order, all the horses improved their way of going and the riders were more effective. "This is all very basic stuff. If you can get it, you have a broad base to start your career," Mary said. A narrow base will limit your progress, she added. With a broad base you can go further.

Canter poles on a circle
For the next lesson, Mary placed four poles on the approximate, though not perfect, quarters of a 20-meter circle and asked riders to canter just one of the poles to start, staying on the circle by going around the other three poles. The young horses struggled to stay on the circle and canter a pole. Often they would try to jump the pole to make it easier. They finally all got the idea as Mary reminded riders to try to meet the pole in the striding. Once the horses had mastered one pole, she asked the riders to add the second, third and fourth poles in sequence. Remembering that the poles were not spaced evenly was the key to this exercise. As the riders added each pole, the better their eyes had to be and the more adjustable the horses had to be. Some horses rode the exercise in five to six strides while others did it in four to five strides. The more-advanced horses and riders had to count aloud the number of comfortable strides between the poles. As they progressed, Mary upped the difficulty by giving them a new striding pattern to ride. Sometimes they were asked to add a stride, sometimes take one away. For example, a four stride might become a three stride or a five stride while a five might become a four or a six. All the horses became much more reliable in their adjustability as well as their throughness.

In this exercise, Mary was as much a stickler for rider position as she had been during warm-ups. If riders leaned forward, she quickly reminded them to "keep the front of your body long." If they pulled up their legs or moved them too far back, she would correct the riders. If the seat came too far out of the saddle, she would tell them to "sit on the back of your bottom."
Every group ended by being able to ride the poles smoothly and on stride. Mary stressed that riders needed to continually challenge themselves in this exercise by changing the stride with the goal of improving the adjustability in the striding. Nothing should be static with this exercise.
"Mary is nice and helpful but demands excellence all the time," said rider Jenna Calcaterra after the clinic. "I was reminded that dressage is the fundamentals of riding. Her saying, 'Ride taller in your body' made a big difference for me."
On the clinic's second day, the riders warmed up while keeping in mind the previous day's lessons. Emphasis was on stretching long and low in the walk, trot and canter. Mary again looked for proper rider position, this time with cross country in mind. She explained that the proper seat for cross country needs to be close to but not on the horse's back. "You should touch the saddle with your bum as you're traveling around the course," she said. She added that the upper body should remain upright, not collapse downward.

Next, riders trotted a single crossrail to start thinking about jumping. Then they moved on to the first jumping exercise.
Playing with a triple line
Mary first set a single oxer on an angle out of a corner on the near side of the arena and a triple combination on the far side, placed several feet in from the arena wall so riders could work on both sides. It was a short one-to-one stride and 3-foot-6 for the upper-level horses and a two-to-two stride and 3 feet for the younger horses.
The first task was to ride the first and third fences on a figure eight. Riders approached the first fence on a diagonal, jumped it and looped around the second and third fences on the way back to jump the third from the other direction. It was critical that the canter stay powerful in the loops. If it got too dull, the riders had to gun the horses at the fence. If the canter was too open, the horses jumped from long or short distances. Mary used the metaphor of bouncing a basketball to explain controlling the power of the canter: If you want a ball to bounce higher, you don't push it down more quickly or slowly, you push with more power.

The next exercise was to approach the first fence of the triple on an angle and jump it, bypass the second fence and jump the third fence on the opposite angle. The goal was to create a smooth line, landing and moving forward to the next jump. It needed to be ridden as if the horse were on a "train track," Mary said. Finally, the second fence of the line was jumped on a figure eight by itself. Again the riders were asked to keep the canter active, punchy and powerful. If they did well, they continued through the entire triple line.
Through all the jumping exercises, the attention to proper position never waned. Almost every rider heard at least once, "Not too forward with the shoulders." Mary explained: "Horses are easily disturbed by riders who move too much with the upper body." Some riders struggled with landing into their leg over the fences. To help, Mary had them put their legs slightly more forward as they approached the fence while working on keeping them there on landing. This kept the horses more balanced and able to canter away from the fence better. All of these jumps ridden on angles prepared the duos for the task of jumping narrow and corner fences.
Bounce to a related narrow or corner
After a reset of fences, the riders were presented with a new exercise: a bounce on the centerline with a long bending four strides to either a blue upright barrel set between two standards to the right or a corner made up of poles that came together on another upright barrel to the left.

A few horses and riders were surprised at having to shorten their strides for the bounce and then lengthen them for the other fences. Using the same idea as the canter poles of the first day, Mary had the riders find the easy striding, keeping power and adjusting as needed. Once the riders had mastered the bounce to a related fence, Mary had them continue riding around the end of the arena and do the exercise in the opposite direction.
The goal of this exercise was to show that as the cross-country courses become more technical, riders can still keep going forward and not go to the hand too much. Riders learn to go forward with power, not speed, to a tricky or narrow fence.
A few younger horses had not experienced narrow fences before, giving Mary the opportunity to explain her method of introducing them to a young horse: Start with three upright barrels with two wing poles. Once the horse jumps that comfortably, remove one barrel and drop the wing poles to the ground. Finally go to one barrel with upright standards on either side.
After the jumping, Claire Robinson said, "Mary was so helpful. I have a weak eye for distances. The exercises helped me improve." Added four-star rider Allison Springer, who was on her recent ride, Mr. Sydney Rocks, "This is a new horse for me, and my experience with Mary was very positive. She helped me ride more smoothly and forward on the turns."
The lessons taught and repeated throughout the two days with Mary were clear and simple. Two main themes were apparent by clinic's end. The first was that attention to the basics of position and correct riding and training is the only way to achieve success. The second is that the rider is responsible for finding a way for the horse to easily complete the task at hand. With these themes in mind, the individual lessons become the building blocks to greater and great performance.

On Friday, Feb 16, in partnership with Homer Center for the Arts, we will be hosting a Singer/Songwriter Showcase highlighting the talents of four local musicians: Jen Cork, Austin MacRae, Janet Batch and Andrew Alling. Each artist will perform a set of original music, as well as participate in a round-robin style song circle. Please join us for a night of singing, laughter and stories behind the music.
Jen Cork is the kind of powerful singer/songwriter who silences barrooms with one vocal phrase. A well-known contributor to the robust Ithaca, NY music scene, Cork enjoys ruminating on the history of objects, spaces, and emotions, and attempts to harness their energy through her music. It has been said that her voice sounds like history–that one can hear legacy in her songs.
Known as the bandleader of folk/jazz outfit Jen Cork & the Good Hope, Cork is also a solo singer/songwriter–("…stands out among the top tier…of talented singer songwriters in the region"-Finger Lakes Music Press) as well as an enthusiastic collaborator. Named Ithaca's "Best Female Singer" of 2015, she has also been called "a superb vocal stylist" by Finger Lakes Music Press and was most recently selected to play with her band at the 2017 Confluence benefit for the National Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, NY.
Cork is currently crafting her first solo record out of sticks and some dirt, an old baritone uke, and the 1904 upright grand piano she learned on at age 6. Found sounds, furious instrumental and vocal layering, and a rougher, more honest edge define Jen's current work. She sounds like sad days with happy endings.
Austin MacRae is a singer/songwriter from Ithaca, NY, whose music is known for its lyrical and vocal intensity. With a sensitive finger-picking style, MacRae crafts songs rich in wordplay and story. He has showcased his music regionally at venues such as the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival (Emerging Artist), Turtle Hill Folk Festival (New Voices Showcase), Ithaca Festival, Oswego Music Hall, Homer Center for the Arts, Bill Knowlton's Bluegrass Ramble Picnic and other area venues. His debut album, Bats in the Attic, won a Syracuse Area Music Award (SAMMY) for Best Folk Recording of 2015. He was recently selected to showcase his work in the Suzi Wollenberg DJ Showcase at the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance (NERFA) Conference in Stamford, CT. His work has also been featured on a variety of radio stations and shows, including the Sundilla Radio Hour, hosted by Kelly Walker. In 2017 MacRae was one of three winners of the Vic Heyman Songwriting Award from the South Florida Folk Festival. He recently released his sophomore album, entitled Keeper, which was recorded at Electric Wilburland and co-produced by Cass Medcalf.
Janet Batch is a singer-songwriter based near Ithaca, NY. She has been playing around Ithaca and central NY since 2015. Her first album "A Good Woman is Hard to Find" was released in early 2017. The album was recorded holed up in a cabin on a winter weekend and features a collection of tunes of loss and leaving, all backed by a full band. Janet's musical style has been referred to as "country with an art degree" and she has been endeared as "the voice of the hills". She sings, unabashed, of death, romance, and the wondering of what went wrong. Her lyrics and harmonies are an illustration of the pendulum that sings between joy and heartache.
Andrew Alling is a singer songwriter from Upstate, NY who resides in Ithaca, NY. He has traveled and performed while living in Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, California, Nashville, TN, Guatemala and places in between. Andrew writes his own music and performs live playing the acoustic guitar, with organ bass foot pedals and the harmonica. He's a one man three piece singer songwriter band! He has written well over one hundred songs and has self-produced over four CDs. Balanced with his current yoga practice, his music speaks of politics, love, hardship, truth, adversity and hope. You can buy his music but you should really come see and hear him! Live is what it is all about!

Q: Access admin dashboardwordpress When I try to access admin dashbord, an error is displayed. This error is: "Cannot redeclare use_block_editor_for_post()(previously declared in \wordpress\wp-includes\post.php:8067) in \wordpress\wp-admin\includes\post.php on line 2152".But the website is work correctly.
I use PHP 8.1 and Wordpress 6.0.3.
Any Help!!

A: First, backup all plugins through FTP to your computer.
Second, disabling all plugins or deleting them through FTP
Then check if the issue persists. If so, do the same for your theme. If the issue still persists, your installation might be corrupted.
Reinstalling plugins one by one, you will see which plugin caused the issue. Then you can investigate why. Probably an outdated version not compatible with the newest wp version and not maintained properly.

I awoke to the smell of coffee; an apropos detail for such a morning. It was a rare occurrence—the aromatic coup of coffee brewed—that signaled your presence in our home.
In the living room my mother anxiously rifles through a box of photographs, searching desperately for a picture of you taken one summer under the big tree in our backyard, surrounded by your daughters and grandchildren. We're positive it was stolen but avoid naming names. I lament how childish and fucked up things are, but I'm careful not to articulate exactly what is meant by 'things.' Instead I bristle at the thought of the memory thief laughing at my mother's expense—for any reason.
In a final exercise of hope I'm sent to assist my father in procuring more photographs for sorting. I stand at the foot of the pull down latter ready to receive whatever time capsules descend from the darkness. I hear my name and turn my face upward to be met by a rain of latent images. As I stoop to gather the scattered photos I stop to ponder how the molecular structure of a photograph could ever hope to compare to the molecular experience of a memory.
Just before we leave for your memorial I ask why only one of your sons will be in attendance. The answer startles me and I'm inundated with the heavy sense of your humanity twenty-eight years too late. On the ride home I soothe my disappointment by reflecting on the events at home; these were your true memorial not half an hour of gospel.
No, what really happened is the story of two little girls who were rough housing when gravity decided to join in. Once gravity had thrown one of the girls a twist, literally, skin took offense and blood felt the need to comfort it.

Q: Why doesn't Grunt generate ports to use? I am sure there is some simple reason I am missing. I would like to run multiple builds of different projects at the same time. Each project is looking for a port and each live reload is looking for a port. Why not set it up to generate a port between a range and if that port is in use try again? Would it be acceptable for me to try and write something to do that?

A: Generally it is up to the individual task to determine the port and then most of the time provide an option to configure the port.
For grunt-contrib-watch, the default port of the live reload server is 35729 to align with other tools that also use that port. But the port can be overridden with options: { livereload: 1337 }.
To have the port be dynamically set based on a range, you would need to build a mechanism to determine the port and set it within the config, ie:
grunt.config('watch.options.livereload', determineWhichPort())

There is an existing Grunt task for finding open ports called grunt-openport: https://github.com/shama/grunt-openport
You can configure the port to use an open port within a range by having the task openport run before the other tasks. Here is an example:
grunt.initConfig({
  watch: {
    options: {
      livereload: true,
    },
    all: {
      files: ['src/*.js'],
      tasks: ['copy'],
    },
  },
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-openport');
grunt.registerTask('default', [
  'openport:watch.options.livereload:35729:40000',
  'watch'
]);

Now running grunt will find the next open port between 35729-40000 and then run the watch task with that port.
This can be used with any other task that enables the port to be configured by changing watch.options.livereload to point to the desired place in the config.

Reading with Bristol's Stokes Croft Writers in Bath!

False Creek North (FCN) lies along the northern shore of False Creek, from the Burrard Street Bridge to Main Street on Vancouver's Downtown peninsula. For this description, it includes the lands forming the eastern portion of False Creek.
A little history....before 1986, False Creek, like most of Vancouver's waterfront, was a focus of heavy industry and the supporting railways. Sawmills and factories surrounded this water basin. In a startling transformation, virtually all the industry moved out to be temporarily replaced by the Expo 86 World's Fair. After the World's Fair closed, the lands were sold to private developers and rezoned. Redevelopment has been proceeding ever since. Much of the planned development around False Creek is built out, including most of the former Expo lands, now Concord Pacific Place, and the Citygate development to the east.
The transformation of some 80 hectares (204 acres) of inner-city area has taken place over a twenty year period and has changed Vancouver's downtown skyline as well as its waterfront public realm. It has brought a long-lost body of water back into public use.
FCN is one of the largest urban redevelopment projects in North America, and has created a diversity of new urban experiences. Three distinct False Creek communities are discussed, beginning with Granville Slopes to the west, Concord Pacific Place at the center, and Citygate to the east. As well, a brief preview of Southeast False Creek, now under planning review, is provided.

The beautiful medieval city of Exeter will reward any visitors with its mixture of fascinating history, great shopping opportunities, lively nightlife and natural beauty on its doorstep. It's one of the oldest cities in England, and possesses a stunning Cathedral which has a jaw-dropping vaulted ceiling and a unique astronomical clock for visitors to see.
There is plenty of choice for visitors whishing to stay here. For a more personal experience you may prefer a b&b or bed and breakfast, while cheap hotels in Exeter city centre can be the best choice for budget minded travellers. Alternatively, apartments for rent offer self catering. They feature a fully equipped kitchen and seperate living room. Many properties do offer parking.
History lovers staying in accommodation in the city can also visit museums such as the Albert Memorial Museum, which is close to the train station (Central and St Davids) and houses a collection of artifacts from across the world. Stay in the center of the city for less than £50 per room, per night.
A great reason to visit is the range of English country manors that can be reached from the city centre. Visit magnificent properties like Bicton Park (with some of the best botanical gardens in the UK) or Killerton House where you can experience a traditional Devon tea, with cream and scones.
Natural beauty is one of the town's attractions as well. Anybody staying near Royal Devon Hospital can easily reach Dartmoor or Exmoor – where they can walk, cycle, hang-glide and even try pony trekking in stunningly beautiful surroundings. The coast around the city is also a great location for beach holidays, with sandy beaches at resorts like Dawlish or Lyme Regis.
Then there is the nightlife, much of which is the result of the town's large student population. Head to gig venues and clubs in the university district, or try something more sophisticated by catching a play at the Barnfield Theatre, before heading for a good night's sleep at your b&b or bed and breakfast.
Children are also catered for, with the Clip n Climb centre and a ten pin bowling alley in the city centre. Anyone can enjoy time spend in such a lively and attractive historical city.
Where to Stay Overnight ?
As a tourist city with a university, Exeter offers plenty of excellent cheap hotels and other forms of accommodation for visitors to enjoy. There are bed and breakfast options like Oakcliffe, which is a few hundred metres from the main central St Davids railway station. The White Hart Inn is another excellent affordable B&B, and is very close to the St. Thomas train station.
There are a number of fine hotels near Royal Devon Hospital – with Buckerell Lodge a good choice for budget travellers. In the city centre, there are the usual chain hotels, which provide a stripped down, but efficient service. Thistle, Premier Inn and Great Westtern will all provide a comfortable alternative, but families may well find a bed and breakfast more welcoming.
And, away from the big companies, there are several independent cheap hotels which provide a good service in the centre of town. The Magdalen Chapter and Southernhay House are particular favourites, with a relaxed atmosphere and convenient locations.
The Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital is a teaching hospital and has two sites, Wonford and Heavitree. The hospital is part of the Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust, and is used for clinical training of medical students from the University of Exeter medical school and Peninsula Medical School.
Location : this ancient city is located in the south-western part of England in Devon. The city lies on the banks of the River Exe. Plymouth is less than 40 miles to the south-west. Bristol city center is about 70 miles away.
Wonderful Cathedral, rich in history, worship and art. Well worth a visit.
The RAM is a very interesting museum packed with history. It gives you a fascinating insight into Exeter's history. The displays are informative and well presented.
Powderham Castle can be found a couple miles south of the city center. It's a spectacular castle, so are the views over the estuary.
Killerton House is an old and lovely house located in nearby Broadclyst, run by the National Trust. Inside there is a wonderful collection of 18th- to 20th-century costumes, originally known as the Paulise de Bush collection.
The city of Exeter lies in the county of Devon, in southwestern England.
Many great value hotel accommodations can be found in Exeter city centre around the Cathedral, University, Hospitals, St Davids and Central train station and coach station.

TARAgram Yatra Begins with the Aim to Sensitise Citizens on Pressing Grassroots Climate-related Issues
NewsVoir November 19, 2022
Yatris from across India will leave for three destinations to participate in TARAgram Yatra 2022 – an initiative by Development Alternatives Group, a New Delhi-based organisation working towards sustainable development. This will be a journey of self-learning for these 40 more participants. The Yatra will be taking place in Agra, Mirzapur, Bundelkhand, and Delhi from 22nd to 24th November 2022.
TARAgram Yatra 2022
A global think-tank and leading social enterprise, Development Alternatives seeks to design and deliver sustainable solutions so that the marginalised can lead better lives and be assured of dignity of labour. One of the ways in which DA does this is by connecting actors across the micro-entrepreneurial ecosystem and initiating constructive dialogues around concerns that matter. TARAgram Yatra ties in with DA's overall vision of co-creating green and inclusive economies.
In Agra, Uttar Pradesh, the focus will be on 'Enabling Circular Economy for Plastics in India: A Pathway to Resource Efficiency'. Here, the Yatris will be looking at the management of plastic waste, and understanding the investment, innovation, and infrastructure required for the same. Among the activities planned are visits to a material recovery facility, a landfill site and a smart city office, alongside which the Yatris will also be observing a door-to-door waste collection drive by the Agra Municipality.
In Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh, the Yatris will be focusing on 'Pathways to Inclusive Entrepreneurship: Scaling Entrepreneurship-led Job Creation'. They will learn about – among other topics – the social innovation approach that can boost inclusive entrepreneurship, the importance of co-creating solutions for entrepreneurs, prototypes to build entrepreneurial ecosystems, and the entrepreneurial needs of the youth and women.
And, in Bundelkhand, the focus will be on 'Climate Change Resilience and Building Sustainable Communities in Bundelkhand: Power of Information and Knowledge'. The Yatris here will get the opportunity to explore inclusive, participatory and scalable models, and on-ground solutions, to disseminate information and develop knowledge for creating climate-resilient, green, and inclusive economies.
The plenary of the Yatra 'Saar Sangam – Seeking Policy Solutions through Practice' will be held at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi on 24 November 2022. The Yatris will come together after a highly immersive experience. They would share their learning from the three geographies, which would form a launching pad for the discussion in the plenary.
On 24th evening DA will be showcasing its flagship entrepreneurship program #JobsweMake at the Spanish embassy which will be attended by leaders from corporates/industry/institutions/media and in well known personalities in the climate space.
Sharing his thoughts on the TARAgram Yatra, Dr Ashok Khosla, Chairman, Development Alternatives Group, said, "The pandemic made us all think more deeply about not just our health but also the well-being of the planet, and made us realise that there might not be a future if we don't start giving back to nature. That was the start of the self-learning process at DA, the seed that has grown into TARAgram Yatra. Through growing awareness amongst Indians, we hope to step back from the brink and help our communities build back better."
Mr Shrashtant Patara, CEO, Development Alternatives Group, said, "How we address the menace of plastic waste, how we tackle the increasing threats from climate change, and how we promote entrepreneurship that is inclusive and impactful – these are the urgent questions of the times we live in. And it's only through empathy, through getting out of our comfort zones and experiencing life lived by those less fortunate than us, that we will be able to bravely face the challenges of today and build a better future for our children."
The TARAgram Yatra programme has been organised by Development Alternatives and is being supported by the Green Economy Coalition, the European Union, and Work4Progress of "la Caxia" Foundation.
Under an umbrella theme of 'Co-creating Inclusive and Green Economies', TARAgram Yatra 2022 will be focusing on resource efficiency and circular economies; livelihood security and inclusive entrepreneurship; and climate resilience and ecosystem restoration. The Yatra, comprising a mix of dialogue and field visits to Agra (Uttar Pradesh), Mirzapur (Uttar Pradesh), Orchha (Bundelkhand), and Delhi, will be organised from 22 November, 2022 to 24 November, 2022. It will have a mix of Yatris from academia, business, civil society, and government, and will engage in deep discussions about social and institutional change experiments at the grassroots, providing a learning-sharing knowledge.
