Bishop John had been a tutor to King David, and was for some time his Chancellor. He had a long contest with Thurstan, Archbishop of York, by whom he was put under sentence of suspension in 1122. He then went to the Holy Land; but the next year, by order of the Pope, returned to his see. In 1125, he went to Rome to endeavour to obtain the pallium for the Bishop of St. Andrews, against the influence of the Archbishop of York. He is said to have retired among the Benedictine monks, and he did not return to Glasgow till recalled to his diocese by Alberic, the legate, in 1138. He died 28th May 1147.

The latter [George Heriot] being bred to his father's business, to which in that age was usually added the occupation of a banker, was admitted a member of the Incorporation of Goldsmiths on the 28th May, 1588. In 1597 he was appointed goldsmith to Queen Anne, and soon after to the king. Several of the accounts for jewels furnished by him to the queen are inserted in Constable's "Life of Heriot," published in 1822.

Under date 28th May, 1588, we find the kirk session intimating to the presbytery that the "exercise" of the latter cannot be permitted in the Blackfriars on Friday, because it "interfeirs with the preaching" on that day, and the presbytery is desired "to alter the day of their exercise." The presbytery yielded, and there is an intimation afterwards "that preaching, with consent of session and presbytery, is to be in the Blackfriars Wednesday and Friday."

The Scotish Queen remained in charge of Mr. Lowther on the 28th day of May 1568, when Lord Scroope, and Sir Francis Knollys arrived, to assume that trust. On the same day, the Earl, and Countess of Lennox, demanded justice against the Scotish Queen. This seems to be connected with certain imaginations, how to restore the Scotish Queen; one whereof is, that it is both honourable, and fit, for the Queen of England, to hear, and decide, any controversy, moved for the crown of Scotland; for that, of ancient right, it appertaineth, to the crown of England. This last hint led on to a question, which was put, by the English commissioners, to the Scotish: If they acknowledge what was in itself untrue. Had this question been answered, in the affirmative, it would have shortened the enquiry: They needed, only, to have indicted the Scotish Queen, as a subordinate feudary of England, for the murder of her husband: Murray, and Morton, and their associates, would have proved her guilt, upon their honours, and consciences, whereof they had none; and Elizabeth would have had only the simple ceremony of ordering her execution, and then punishing her secretary, for obeying her formal orders. All this was prevented, by the denial of the Scotish commissioners; as they knew, that they could not have returned to Scotland, if they had acknowledged the feudal superiority of the one kingdom over the other.

[John Nicoll] informs us that on the 28th of May [1650] 'there rained blood the space of three miles in the Earl of Buccleuch's bounds, near the English border; whilk was verified in presence of the Committee of State.'

… The Scots members being met the next day, and their deputies having made their report of her Majesty's answer, it was unanimously agreed, that, before they proceeded further, they should lay their grievances before the House of Lords. Accordingly on the 28th of May, [1713,] after the Lords had adjourned the debate about the 8th and 9th articles of the treaty of commerce, the Earl of Finlater made a motion, that some day might be appointed to consider the state of the nation; whereupon the Lords appointed the 1st of June, when all the Lords in town were summoned. Between one and two o'clock the debate began, opened by the Earl of Finlater, who represented the grievances of the Scottish nation, and concluded by moving, 'That leave be given to bring in a Bill for dissolving the said union, and securing the Protestant succession to the house of Hanover, the Queen's prerogative in both kingdoms, and preserving an entire unity and good correspondence between the two kingdoms.'

Newly-filed legislation would impose stronger penalties for parents who don't properly restrain their children in a car. The Senate bill would allow the Department of Children and Families to investigate parents for child abuse in incidents where unrestrained children are injured or killed during a car accident. A House companion bill has not been filed yet but is expected to come soon.
In Florida, if a child isn't wearing a seatbelt, parents could face a minimum $60 fine. In Texas, if a person operates a vehicle with a child younger than eight and is not secured during operation, it can be considered a misdemeanor facing a fine of not less than $25 and not more than $250. Although car seat laws vary by state, children five and under are required to be restrained with a seatbelt or booster seat. Nationwide in 2016, 723 children under the age of 12 died in a motor vehicle crash. Of those, 35 percent were not restrained.
A recent study found that in one year, more than 600,000 children in the United States rode in a car at least once without a seatbelt or car seat. Safety experts believe children are much more likely to ride unrestrained if their parents don't set a good example. Meaning, if a child doesn't see one or both parents strapped, it is more likely they children won't strap themselves up.
Proper use of car safety can avoid accidents and deaths from occurring. The type of seat your child should use depends on age, size, and developmental needs. Infants and toddlers are required to ride in a rear-facing seat until they reach the proper weight or height allowed by the car seat manufacturer. Toddlers and preschoolers who have outgrown the limit for their convertible seat should use a forward-facing seat with a harness for as long as possible.
School-aged children should use a belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle belt fits properly, or when they have reached 4 feet 9 inches in height and are roughly 8 to 12 years old. All children under the age of 13 should ride in the back seat. For children over the age of 13, they should be large enough for the vehicle seat belt to fit them correctly, and should always use lap and shoulder seat belts for the best protection.

Bringing the POWs home
We were going home, and it was just really terrific. We were absolutely elated. Even now I think of that homecoming. It is like being born again. Something wells up into you.
[Don Moore quoted in Hank Nelson, Prisoners of War: Australians under Nippon, Sydney, ABC, 1985, 206.]
Home and family were constantly in prisoners' minds during their captivity, sustaining them at times of extreme misery. This handmade plywood frame, containing a photograph of the wife and family of Albert Coates, one of the doctors on the Thai–Burma railway, speaks to the importance of 'home' for each prisoner. [AWM REL/18564]
For Australian prisoners of war the Japanese surrender on 15 August 1945 was the first step towards their coming home. In September and October around 14 000 of them were repatriated. This was the culmination of years of hope and longing. However, for many of them the physical and psychological effects of their captivity would linger for decades.

As soon as the Japanese surrendered Allied authorities implemented plans to find and provide supplies to their nationals who were prisoners of war. Air drops of leaflets and food were followed by medical and administrative personnel who were parachuted into the major camps.
When they learned of the Japanese defeat the prisoners usually took control of their camps managing their day-to-day operation. There were only isolated cases of vengeance against the Japanese. Most prisoners were simply overjoyed to be free.
However, the prisoners' situation was really secure only when Allied ground forces finally arrived. In some places this took many weeks after the Japanese surrender, owing to the sheer size of the Pacific theatre.
Repatriation of the POWs was a logistically complex operation given the dispersal of prisoners around the Pacific and their poor state of health. To process former prisoners, the Repatriation of Allied Prisoners of War and Internees organisation (RAPWI) set up reception depots where prisoners were given medical attention, received letters and had their details recorded.
A crowd of families greeting, on 13 October 1945, the HMS Formidable and 1300 ex-prisoners of war of the 8th Division. It was a moment both they and the men they were greeting had longed for since early 1942. [AWM 122016]
The collection of nominal rolls and other information, some of which had been kept hidden from the Japanese for years, was essential to documenting Japanese atrocities for prosecution in war crimes trials. It was also key to the process of locating graves of prisoners who had been buried near former camp sites.
Once a POW's details were recorded his relatives could be informed of his fate. Many families had had no news or word since 1942. Some learned at this point that their son, brother, father or husband had died years earlier.
For men used to extreme hardship and scarcity it was a profound relief to receive the supplies and medical treatment provided by the Allied military organisation. Roy Whitecross remembered being issued with new clothes and equipment and throwing away all else:
Who can imagine what that meant to us! For years we had hoarded rusty tins for drinking cups, rusty dixies, patched and disreputable bits of clothing, knowing if they were lost they could not be replaced. Now we tossed them away, secure in the knowledge that we were in the midst of plenty.
[R. H. Whitecross, Slaves of the Son of Heaven, Sydney, Corgi, 1971, 252.]
Repatriation was usually by boat, although some of the fitter prisoners were flown back to Australia. Prisoners of war had priority over other Australian soldiers. However, some men, such as the surgeon, Lieutenant-Colonel E.E. 'Weary' Dunlop, remained in the Pacific to assist the repatriation parties in their work.

Demobilisation from the military occurred soon after arriving in Australia. For most ex-POWs homecoming was an incredible experience after years of captivity. They were welcomed back as both soldiers and ex-prisoners and their stories would soon become part of the national memory of war. Even so, many returned men felt that there was a stigma associated with their surrender and captivity.
The ex-POWs' integration into Australian society was an ongoing process. The military offered training programmes, while friends and families helped them adjust to civilian life. Many former prisoners had no wish to dwell on their experiences, desiring only to 'get on' with their interrupted lives. Most were able to do this to varying degrees. However, some found post-war life difficult, especially after the initial joy of homecoming had worn off. William Webb remembered:
Our discharge centres have vomited us out, by the hundreds, and after the almost sacred family reunions, we view with some misgiving, a rather strange world, that somehow does not seem to be going to be quite that Utopia, as viewed from dark hopelessness of a prison camp.
[AWM PR87/183]
After their experiences of Japanese brutality, poor food and exposure to multiple illnesses, many prisoners also had chronic health issues. Hence in the immediate post-war period mortality rates among former prisoners were higher than among other veterans.
Unit associations were important sources of identity to ex-prisoners after the war. The banner of the 2/10 Australian Field Ambulance, shown here, was carried by the unit's association on Anzac Day marches after the war and listed places of captivity as well as military service. As it shows, the 2/10th served during the Malayan campaign and on New Britain where around twenty men were killed during the 'Tol Massacre' in February 1942. Some of the units worked on the Thai–Burma railway and others in Singapore. A number were sent to Borneo where they died on the Sandakan death march. At the end of the war many men from the 2/10 found themselves in Japan. [AWM REL29708]
While many prisoners did not want to be seen as needing special treatment, there were ongoing battles for compensation. Although they were paid their wages by the Australian government for the time they had spent in captivity, POWs had missed out on food, clothing and other allowances. Many felt they had been short-changed and that they had actually saved the military money while they were in captivity.
In the immediate post-war period prisoners of the Japanese received some compensation under the terms of the 1951 peace treaty with Japan. (This money was raised from the sale of Japanese assets in the Pacific, such as the Thai–Burma railway.) However, this amounted to only £102 (about $2000 in 2013). Former prisoners such as 'Weary' Dunlop took a prominent role in advocating on behalf of captives of the Japanese. However, it was not until 2001 that former POWs received significant compensation from the Australian government, in this case $25,000.

Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, was a preeminent Bengali nationalist leader of Bangladesh born on 17 March 1920
National Mourning Day
When is Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's birthday?
This national holiday in Bangladesh is observed on 17th March each year.
This holiday may also be known as 'Father of the Nation's birth anniversary' and it commemorates the birthday of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who is regarded as the father of the nation of Bangladesh and is popularly known as Bangabandhu ("Friend of Bengal").
The day is also celebrated as National Children's Day.
History of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's birthday
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was born in Tungipara village on March 17, 1920. He was the third among four daughters and two sons of his parents - Sheikh Lutfur Rahman and Saira Khatun.
From his days as a student, Rahman developed an interest in politics becoming an influential figure in the Muslim League, which advocated the creation of a separate Islamic state from India.
In the 1970 general elections in Pakistan, the Awami League, led by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman won an overall majority, but the West Pakistani regime was reluctant to hand over power. The resulting power struggle led to Rahman declaring Bangladesh's independence on 26 March 1971 and marked the start of the war of Independence. In November 1970, India entered the war, supporting East Pakistan. This led to victory for East Pakistan on 16 December 1970.
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman became the first President of Bangladesh on 11 April 1971. He took the role of Prime Minister in January 1972. In January 1975, he initiated one-party socialist rule, becoming Bangladesh's fourth President.
Rahman and his family were assassinated on 15 August 1975 during a coup by renegade army officers.
The date of Bangabandhu's death is a public holiday in Bangladesh, National Mourning Day.
On this day, the president and the prime minister pay their homage by placing wreaths at the mazar (mausoleum) of Bangabandhu in Tungipara.
The Bangladesh government has announced that 100th birth anniversary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman will be observed as Mujib Year from 17 March 2020 to 17 March 2021.

Canadian Laws You Won't Believe
Tarantino, Bob
Did you know that Canada's Criminal Code still has provisions outlawing the practice of witchcraft and "crafty sciences"? Did you know that blasphemy is a crime in Canada? And did you know that putting a picture of a red poppy on your website could get you in trouble with the Royal Canadian Legion?
Lawyer and author Bob Tarantino takes readers on an entertaining and informative romp through Canada's legal labyrinths in a book that spotlights the country's past and present strange-but-true laws and legal history. He examines odd statutes and arcane jurisprudence across the spectrum of Canadian endeavours, from war and religion to sex and culture to politics and business. Frequently, he demonstrates the parallels between yesterday's prohibitions and today's trends such as the edict against duelling and the legalities of twenty-first-century hockey slugfests, or the confiscation of so-called crime comics in the 1950s and the controversy surrounding violence in contemporary video games.

Editor's 25 Best Albums Of 2016!
By Fist | December 26, 2016 - 1:08 am | December 26, 2016 Album Reviews
It's an incredibly hard task to narrow down all the amazing albums that released in 2016 to a short list of 25. This year seen the reunion of some amazing acts and we lost several iconic musicians. My personal top 25 albums of the year not only includes veteran acts that you are probably familiar with, but also brand new bands or lesser known bands that blew me away with their sound. There are just some bands that have a way of capturing you moments into the first track. There are several other albums I wish I could have included in this list, but without further ado here is my top 25 albums of 2016: Continue reading →

Review: Exploding Head Syndrome 'World Crashes Down'
Comments Off on Review: Exploding Head Syndrome 'World Crashes Down'
After initially hearing Exploding Head Syndrome I found myself wondering how in the hell I haven't heard this band yet. They formed back in 2010 when the childhood friends got the idea to start a punk band. They thought the idea of starting a punk band in their thirties was kind of ridiculous, but nevertheless Exploding Head Syndrome was formed. I'm very happy the band did form as well. The name for the band came about when one of the members was browsing the web and found a weird sounding disease called Exploding Head Syndrome. The band found the name to fitting for the kind of music they wanted to play. The band released their self titled debut in 2011 on Ampmanden Records. The band went on to release two albums in 2013 which includes 'Disciples of Reason' which received rave reviews. Exploding Head Syndrome was hailed as "one of the most exciting new Norwegian bands" by Norway's leading radio show for hard-rock music. In the summer of 2015 tragedy hit EHS when bassist Bjørnar died. The band after some time to mourn their comrade auditioned bassists and soldiered on. The band signed a record deal with Wormhole Death Records and went on to record their next album, 'World Crashes Down', at Mathlab Recording Studio in Montale, Italy over three weeks in June and July 2016. In August the record was finished, and was released worldwide on November 4. The album remains true to the bands punk roots but incorporates a lot of hardcore influence as well as some heavy groove rock vibes. Continue reading →

iPod Nano 6th Generation - Why I love/hate it | Johns iPhone | iPhone Blog with Help, News, Tutorials, Tricks, Tips, and More!
The iPod nano 6th is the latest entry into the legendary iPod family. As with many of its predecessors, this nano is all it's cracked up to be, and not, all at the same time.
If you've played with one of these (and I'm pretty sure you have by now) this thing is TINY. I mean so tiny it should be perfectly suited for children ages 3 and up. Having come from the 3rd gen, which was somewhat beefy, to this thing was a bit of a shock and took A LOT of time to get used to. Like many iPod users, I grew up on the click wheel and had gotten used to that. With this new touch screen, things changed, big time. As it so small, my big hands don't quite mesh well with this new design. Since there's no home button or click wheel, you have to swipe right in order to go back. Kind of irritating.
Overall though, the new design is starting to grow on me. The size, albeit extremely small, is also extremely convenient since it takes up hardly any space in your bag, purse, or pockets. The touchscreen/swiping does take a little while to get used to but, it's slowly starting to become convenient for me now. If you're still a fan of the click wheel, you're probably better off getting the 5th Gen Nano. If you want something a little niftier, might wanna check out the 6th gen Nano.
lol actually idont think it would be suited for kids 3+ cause they could either break or choke on it…. @_@ plus i dunt think 3 year olds need ipods lol.
Swiping to go back isn't so bad but if you want to go directly to the home menu just press and hold on the screen for a little bit.
I was bought this device for Christmas. At the moment I hate it. The battery has run down twice as although I keep turning it off, it is not fully turned off. It is unnecessarily complicated with its different modes. I just want a button that if it is an off button, does just that! Can anyone help as at the moment I want to bin it.
Just hold down the sleep/wake button until the screen turns off. Congratulations, you've now turned it off, instead of putting it to sleep. To turn it back on, just hold down the same button again.

Ian Yekhlef applies my theory to the origin of matter from our future horizon hologram computer
Ian scrawled
The implicate order, on the 2-d manifold of anyons in the de Sitter future horizon, is the result of a quantum phase transition with a topological order, post Landau symmetry breaking. Explanation of string-net condensation (by Michael A. Levin and Xiao-Gang Wen), will result in a unified origin for photons, electron and other elementary particles in our universe. This is the consistent theory of a quantum gravity, the holography computer using the fractional quantum Hall effect via a 2-D anyon substrate. All elementary particles, everything is just a holographic projection of string-net condensation pattern on our future de-Sitter event horizon.
see the following:
http://www.facebook.com/l/1737c;arxiv.org/PS_cache/hep-th/pdf/0507/0507118v2.pdf
It is not yet a consistent theory of quantum gravity. I know why, its because....
We need a rigorous derivation from loop quantum gravities spin networks to Levin and Wen's spin lattice. The project is called "quantum graphity". Thats the implicate order.
Quantum Graphity
Tomasz Konopka, Fotini Markopoulou and Lee Smolin
Perimeter Institute, Waterloo, Canada, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Canada
We introduce a new model of background independent physics in which the degrees of freedom live on a complete graph and the physics is invariant under the permutations of all the points. We argue that the model has a low energy phase in which physics on a low dimensional lattice emerges and the permutation symmetry is broken to the translation group of that lattice. In the high temperature, or disordered, phase the permutation symmetry is respected and the average distance between degrees of freedom is small. This may serve as a tractable model for the emergence of classical geometry in background independent models of spacetime. We use this model to argue for a cosmological scenario in which the universe underwent a transition from the high to the low temperature phase, thus avoiding the horizon problem.

Tseng Po-yu, a sociology student at National Chengchi University who participated in the Sunflower movement, poses on April 8 in Taipei.
For Tseng Po-yu (曾柏瑜), a sociology student at Taipei's National Chengchi University, being able to rally hundreds of people to occupy the Legislative Yuan in Taipei on March 18 to protest the government's handling of the cross-strait service trade pact was a feat beyond her wildest dreams.
"We were having a rally outside the Legislative Yuan complex that night, hoping to raise awareness about the cross-strait service trade agreement and how it was being handled," Tseng said.
"The rally drew about 400 or 500 people, but we [the Black Island Nation Youth Front behind the Sunflower movement] only had 20 people on the scene," she said.
"We had planned to ask some of those in attendance to join us in storming the legislature at 9pm, but we were not sure how many would agree to do so or how many would actually follow through," the sociology student said.
"Little did we know that hundreds of protesters were willing to climb over the wall surrounding the Legislative Yuan when we issued the call. The extent to which people in this country care about public issues was beyond what we could have imagined," Tseng said.
The seizure of the legislature's main chamber evolved into the nationwide Sunflower movement, gathering huge crowds of supporters against the government's handling of the trade deal with China.
Since the start of the occupation of the legislative chamber on March 18 until the end of the siege on April 10, Tseng was constantly appearing on television talk shows, where she defended the students' actions and appeals.
She managed to stay composed in the face of difficult questions posed by politicians on the talk shows, calmly pointing out what the protesters see as the problems with the cross-strait agreement.
"Maybe I am good at arguing," Tseng said, when asked why she was tasked with being one of the movement's public faces.
Tseng said she had originally hoped that more people would realize the problems with the pact after watching her debate lawmakers or politicians on TV, but as the siege continued, she found herself constantly having to respond to allegations against the protesters made by the government and media, which she said was a pity.
Aside from the Sunflower movement, Tseng has also been an advocate in several other social campaigns, including against monopolies in the media, striving for a nuclear-free Taiwan and gay rights promotion.
Tseng said that she started studying the potential impact of the cross-strait service trade agreement in September last year, when the Black Island Nation Youth Front hosted a two-day workshop about the treaty.
She said that after learning about the criticisms of the pact, she decided to join the group's efforts to alert the public to these issues.
"That Chinese Nationalist Party [KMT] Legislator Chang Ching-chung (張慶忠) was able to announce the passage of the pact 30 seconds after the review meeting [of the legislature's Internal Administration Committee on March 17] began showed that Taiwan's representative democracy is out of order," she said.
Saying that she believes that "social movements are a powerful force propeling the push for reforms in a better direction," Tseng said she would continue on the path of social activism to drive positive change.

Rock samples from China's lunar mission could unlock'enigma' of moon's Background
By admin on November 25, 2020
The research is on course to achieve the moon at the end of the week.
It is Beijing's first attempt at regaining moonstones – and the planet's earliest – since the 1970s.
The main goal of the mission would be to drill two meters beneath the lunar surface and then pull around two kilograms of stone and debris to return to Earth.
Professor Clive Neal, Lunar Geologist in the University of Notre Dame at Indiana, informed Euronews the new assignment revealed how Chinese technical capability came.
"The Chinese skies program has made great strides, landing on the other hand with Change 4 and this capsule to return samples to the ground for the very first time in 44 years because the Soviets did it in 1976, it is further evidence of the growing capabilities and an exciting period for lunar science.
"The Americans returned 382 kilograms of moonstones using all the six Apollo missions along with also the vulcanism was 3.1 to 3.8 billion years old.
"These moonstones in which they are likely to the property are allegedly younger lava flows we don't have any sample of and also the moon is a tiny body. Its heating engine ought to have expired a long time ago and it has not so that it remains an enigma.
"These are samples out of a fresh period from the moon's history we do not to possess any record of at the sample series, so these are new samples.
Professor Neal stated there were still important obstacles ahead of the assignment could be finished, in terms of items that may go wrong:
"There are devastating ones like failure to property and collapse to relaunch; there is also a failure to rendezvous with the orbiter that is likely to attract the samples dwelling.
"However, China has done an extremely stepwise approach to robotic mining and we see that the care that they have taken in creating their systems together with all the Change 4 rover still going strong on the side of the moon"

Packed to the rafters! Heck, there's even a show where the stars have four legs...the furry kind. You'll find all this fantastic live entertainment and more inside the Grand Country Music Hall, a perfectly sized venue with just under 600 seats, large enough to accommodate demand, yet not so huge that you lose that up-close-and-personal feeling with every artist on the stage.
Guess what else you'll find at Grand Country? Fun activities like indoor mini-golf, laser tag, arcade games, bumper cars, indoor go-karts, mini-bowling, and the delightful Grand Country's Farm 18-Hole Mini-Golf. There's also delicious buffet dining at the Grand Country Buffet, and the 2018 Best Of Branson Papa Grand's Pizza, offering a nice selection of tasty pizza, as well as a fresh salad bar. There are two nice gift shops, and there's lodging available at the Inn, also home to a large indoor/outdoor waterpark. But we're here to tell you about the great shows you'll find in the Grand Country Music Hall. We'll list these in alpha order, just to make it easy, and tell you a little about each show so you can choose what sounds best to you...oh, what the hay, just go ahead and see them all!
1. Amazing Pets: Featuring the most adorably cuddly critters you'll ever encounter, this show is filled with laughter, surprising tricks and stunts performed by cats, dogs, and even beautiful exotic birds gorgeously bedecked in dazzling colors! Encouraged by their talented human friends, these playful pets love to perform, and it's nice to know that, not only are they lovingly cared for, some have even been rescued from shelters. Only the most hard-hearted wouldn't love this show!
Schedule: Amazing Pets perform mostly at 10:00 a.m., but there are also some 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. performances on select dates. January through December
Nice to Know: Non-flash photography only please; you sure don't want your flashes to scare your new furry friends on stage!
2. Branson Country USA: Unique among the many other shows in town, Branson Country USA is recorded and syndicated on radio and TV stations across the country, letting the live audience be part of the broadcast! The other unique feature is the time; being at 10:30 p.m. gives night owls something really fun to do, and hosts Jim Dandy, a.k.a. Jamie Haage, and Mike Patrick are sure to amp up that fun! Music is courtesy of vocalist, Jackie Brown, singer and fiddle player, Melody Hart, gospel quartet, New South, and the fantastic Grand Band.
Schedule: Branson Country USA can be seen every Friday at 10:30 p.m. January through December
Nice to Know: Hey, it's a late night show that's shared on radio and television, now that's really nice!
3. Comedy Jamboree: It's all about the funny when Applejack, a.k.a. Shannon Thompson, Stretch McCord, a.k.a. Justin Sifford, and Andy Parks invade the Music Hall stage! Too much of today's comedy relies on swearing, criticism, and basically "going low" to get a laugh; that's never the case in Branson, especially at Comedy Jamboree, where your youngest kiddo to your great grandma will laugh themselves silly! The lovable loonies share the stage with the dynamic Grand Band, pianist Tracy Heaston, and excellent singers.
Schedule: Comedy Jamboree appears at 3:00 p.m. on most days except Sunday and Thursday. January through December.
Nice to Know: As we mentioned, this is family-friendly comedy - clean but still adult enough to make the grown ups laugh, and goofy enough to appeal to any youngster!
4. Down Home Country: A show every country music fan will love...Down Home Country is downright amazing! Jammed with lots of your favorites, including classic country, Western swing, and great gospel, this morning music show must-see is emceed by Jamie Haage, a talented musician and comedian - he's joined by singer Melody Hart, an excellent fiddle player, and the Grand Band. Comic relief comes from the downright delightfully daffy Jarrett Doughterty, who brings a whole slew of hilarious characters along for the ride!
Schedule: Down Home Country performs at 10:00 a.m. on weekdays. April & May - September through December
Nice to Know: The Grand Band features another highly regarded and awarded fiddle player, Wayne Massengale, who just happens to be fiddler Melody Hart's main squeeze!
5. Grand Jubilee: Grand Country Music Hall's premier show, Grand Jubilee, is headlined by the phenomenal New South - they deliver the best of country, rock, gospel, pop, and Top 40 favorites. New South features Mark McCauley handling those lovable low notes, David Ragan singing lead, baritone coming from Jon Drockelman, and tenor singer, Luke Menard, a familiar face to American Idol fans. They're joined by singer, Jackie Brown, and the always great Grand Band, with lots of bellyachin' laughs from emcees Jamie Haage and Mike Patrick!
Schedule: Grand Jubilee holds court at the Music Hall at 7:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. January through December
Nice to Know: Being the long-running headline show means it's a hot ticket; book early for the best seats and remember, the theater isn't huge, so don't wait and end up empty-handed!
6. New South Gospel: If you loved them in Grand Jubilee, just imagine those four handsome, uber-talented songbirds bringing down the house while delivering the gospel music goods! Joining the fellas - who we introduced to you just above - is piano virtuoso, Tracy Heaston, a dazzling Grand Country player who's also known for his crowd-gathering solo performances at Silver Dollar City. The men's gospel classics are complemented by the extraordinary vocals of the lovely Jackie Brown, as well as singer, Jim Dandy.
Schedule: New South Gospel performs at 3:00 p.m. most Thursdays. April through December
Nice to Know: If you love the New South quartet (and trust us, you will) it's extra nice to know you can see them in three shows at Grand Country Music Hall!
7. Ozarks Country: The unforgettable Bilyeaus, Tammy and Tonya, bring an impressive resume to Grand Country's latest additions to the show lineup, as the Stutterettes, they provided back-up vocals for the legendary Mel Tillis. Hailing from a famous Ozarks family of artists, these stunning ladies are brilliant singers who belt out classic country and big hits from today's music charts. We can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday night in Branson...singing along, laughing til your face aches, and having the time of your life!
Schedule: Ozarks Country plays on most Sundays at 7:00 p.m. April through December
Nice to Know: If you discover that Ozarks Country is your new favorite show, just wait until you see the Bilyeaus in Ozarks Gospel!
8. Ozarks Gospel: And here it is, your other excellent opportunity to enjoy the much-more-than-memorable Bilyeaus. For novice listeners, gospel offers way more musical diversity than you might imagine...it can be uplifting, inspirational, and emotional, but also upbeat and can easily get your gotta-dance mojo movin'! Classic favorites like "Turn Your Radio On" and "I'll Fly Away" are a great example of the songs you'll hear. And like every Grand Country show, there'll be plenty of laughter to brighten your Sunday afternoon!
Schedule: Ozarks Gospel will lift your spirits nearly every Sunday at 3:00 p.m. February through December
Nice to Know: If you happen to catch Ozarks Gospel first and think your Sunday can't get any better, just head back to theater at 7:00 p.m. (or better yet, stick around and eat dinner, play some mini-golf….) because you can catch both shows on nearly every Sunday of their annual schedule!
There you have it, one wonderful theater - eight great Grand Country shows!

If you're looking for an upcoming smartphone from Verizon Wireless with those quick 4G LTE speeds we might have just the device for you. It's from Motorola and is rumored to be called the DROID RAZR M. This budget friendly improvement over the first RAZR has leaked again this afternoon, only this time in white so lets take a look.
We've heard plenty about this Motorola smartphone in the recent past, and it was also leaked late last week as a budget smartphone headed to Verizon for $149. That isn't technically "budget" friendly but considering many current phones have launched at $199 or even $249 — that is a bargain.
The Motorola DROID RAZR M looks very similar to the original DROID RAZR and still features the Kevlar coating on back and 8 megapixel 1080p HD video capable camera, but this leak shows a white or what almost looks like an aluminum silver model. The image above was conveniently leaked to Engadget just a week or so before the big reveal. You'll also get a 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor and a 4.3-inch qHD display and Ice Cream Sandwich with the new smartphone.
Motorola and Verizon are hosting a media event on September 5th many are expecting to be the DROID RAZR HD that has seen plenty attention as of late. New details have many thinking they'll drop both their new flagship RAZR HD, and this newly leaked budget DROID RAZR M at the same time. We'll be live in NYC for the big Motorola reveal so stick around Android Community for all the details.

Man convicted of domestic violence offenses
By Epperson Law PLLC
Being the victim of violence in North Carolina can be extremely damaging to a person's psyche. This can be especially true for victims of domestic violence. Being abused by someone who is supposed to love and take care of you can be extremely detrimental.
A woman who probably knows this all too well endured abuse at the hands of her boyfriend over a period of three days last April. On April 10, the 45-year-old man told her that he would slit her throat with a knife and sexually harm her after he had placed a pillowcase over her head. He also told her he had dug a hole in the woods and threatened to bury her in it.
The couple visited a psychiatrist for treatment of the man's agitation on April 12. The psychiatrist prescribed medication which the man took before going to bed that night. Sometime during the night, he woke up and started beating his girlfriend with a belt and then a broken broom handle.
The man was arrested and charged with domestic violence. During his trial, he said he had been sleepwalking and in an altered state of mind when the abuse was happening. The judge evidently did not buy it, because he found the man guilty of the domestic violence offenses.
The woman who was the victim of domestic violence may wish to speak with a family law attorney about her rights to ensure that she is legally protected. After all that she has been through, it may give her some piece of mind to do so.

APOD: Cassini Looks Out from Saturn (2017 Apr 30)
Post by APOD Robot » Sun Apr 30, 2017 4:09 am
Cassini Looks Out from Saturn
Explanation: This is what Saturn looks like from inside the rings. Last week, for the first time, NASA directed the Cassini spacecraft to swoop between Saturn and its rings. During the dive, the robotic spacecraft took hundreds of images showing unprecedented detail for structures in Saturn's atmosphere. Looking back out, however, the spacecraft was also able to capture impressive vistas. In the featured image taken a few hours before closest approach, Saturn's unusual northern hexagon is seen surrounding the North Pole. Saturn's C ring is the closest visible, while the dark Cassini Division separates the inner B ring from the outer A. A close inspection will find the two small moons that shepherd the F-ring, the farthest ring discernable. This image is raw and will be officially verified, calibrated and released at a later date. Cassini remains on schedule to end its mission by plunging into Saturn's atmosphere on September 15.

What a fantastic view! Too bad we are not there, ourselves, to see it! Hey wait, we ARE seeing it! Well, in fact humans will NEVER go to Saturn: there would be no benefit of any kind in doing so, and nightmare difficulties. The same applies, in spades, to Jupiter: the particle environment is toxic. And the idea of humans ever going to Uranus or Neptune is laughable: what would we do when we got there? And I won't talk about Pluto! But it is more than that: humans going to Mercury is a ridiculous idea, and humans landing on Venus .... ! ! ! Which leaves Mars, our own Moon, and asteroids. I plump for a permanent manned (and womaned) US base on our own Moon. Does anyone know of a downloadable detailed technical study of such a base? I know NASA has looked hard at such a base at one of the poles. I would prefer a base at an equatorial location, but it may be that that is impossible even with nuclear power to keep from everyone dying during the two-week-long nights. I don't know, and I would like to know. Heck, I'd love to visit such a base myself!

Well, never is a very long time. And we're ever closer to knocking ourselves back to the dark ages. Still, I can imagine a future a few hundred years down the line where the actual mechanics of space travel are sufficiently simple and routine that we could have a colonized solar system- something like we see in The Expanse or many of Kim Stanley Robinson's books.
There's no compelling social or scientific reason to be colonizing or visiting other planets right now, but who knows what the future will look like?

The future will produce better & cheaper space craft and better & cheaper virtual reality such everyone on this planet will be able to enjoy the astronaut experience.

I agree. But many people may not care about the "astronaut experience", they may just want to be colonists and live off the Earth (and maybe politically independent of Earth, as well).

Trying to imagine that experience...colonizing...how far into the future that will be....with the expense & initial scientific & manual worker populace.Politics.....always a challenge....here & "THEN".I just hope we realize how important it is to appreciate what we have here on Earth.

I don't see the C ring in this image. I see what looks to be the B ring, the Cassini Division, the A ring, the Encke Gap, the remainder of the A ring, and then the F ring.

That was an good discussion of the future in space, re humans actually going to the various planets....
When I was a teenager, the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada's Edmonton Center had an organized debate at one of its monthly meetings as to whether men would ever go to the Moon, or not. It must have been about 1956. One of us youngsters debated one of "the old fogies" - University of Alberta professors. As luck would have it, my young friend drew "No we won't" to argue! As I recall, he won the debate, on interesting grounds in retrospect: the winning argument was simply that, although it was possible, it would simply cost too much!

It's a good argument, but it overlooked the fact that going to the Moon was fundamentally a political and military decision framed by the Cold War, and as such, didn't follow the normal rules of economics.

CREPE (n.) 1797, from French crêpe, from Old French crespe (14c.), from Latin crispa, fem. of crispus "curled, wrinkled". Meaning "small, thin pancake" is from 1877.
CRAPE (n.) 1630s, Englished spelling of crepe.
CRAPS (n.) 1843, from Louisiana French craps "the game of hazard," from an 18c. continental French corruption of English crabs, which was 18c. slang for "a throw of two or three" (the lowest throw).
CRAP (v.) "defecate," 1846, from one of a cluster of words generally applied to things cast off or discarded, all probably from Middle English crappe "grain that was trodden underfoot in a barn, chaff" (mid-15c.), from Middle French crape "siftings," from Old French crappe, from Medieval Latin crappa, crapinum "chaff." Despite folk etymology insistence, not from Thomas Crapper (1837-1910) who was, however, a busy plumber and may have had some minor role in the development of modern toilets. Crap (v.) as a variant of crop (v.) was noted early 19c, as a peculiarity of speech in Scotland and what was then the U.S. Southwest (Arkansas, etc.).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lassell wrote:
<<William Lassell (18 June 1799 – 5 October 1880) was an English merchant and astronomer. He made his fortune as a beer brewer, which enabled him to indulge his interest in astronomy. He built an observatory at his house "Starfield" in West Derby, a suburb of Liverpool. There he had a 24-inch reflector telescope, for which he pioneered the use of an equatorial mount for easy tracking of objects as the Earth rotates. He ground and polished the mirror himself, using equipment he constructed.
In 1846 Lassell discovered Triton, the largest moon of Neptune, just 17 days after the discovery of Neptune itself by German astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle. In 1848 he independently co-discovered Hyperion, a moon of Saturn. In 1851 he discovered Ariel and Umbriel, two moons of Uranus.
In 1855, he built a 48-inch telescope, which he installed in Malta because of the observing conditions that were better than in often-overcast England. On his return to the UK after several years in Malta he moved to Maidenhead and operated his 24-inch telescope in an observatory there. The 48-inch telescope was dismantled and was eventually scrapped.
Lassell was a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society (FRAS) from 1839, won the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1849, and served as its president for two years starting in 1870. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1849 and won their Royal Medal in 1858. Lassel was also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature (FRSL). He was furthermore elected an honorary Fellow of the Society of Sciences of Upsala, and received an honorary LL.D. degree from the University of Cambridge.
Lassell died in Maidenhead in 1880. Upon his death, he left a fortune of £80,000 (roughly equivalent to £7,200,000 in 2015). His telescope was presented to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. The crater Lassell on the Moon, a crater on Mars, the asteroid 2636 Lassell and a ring of Neptune are named in his honour.>>

One of the greatest things about mobile phone shopping nowadays is the number of great deals that are being offered by mobile service providers. If you're looking for mobile contracts with free gifts, there are certainly a lot to choose from. Today we're looking at deals that come with free laptops. The laptop of choice is the Acer Aspire E1 i3-3110M. This runs the latest Windows version (Windows 8), has a huge 15.6 inch screen, a 500 GB hard disk, a dual core processor, plus a built in web camera and a DVD re-writer.
Three has a great deal on right now which includes the free Acer laptop and a free Sony Xperia U in black. The Xperia U is one of the most recent in Sony's Xperia line, and is a pretty nifty little phone that looks great too. With your contract you get 500 cross network calling minutes as well as 5000 text messages and unlimited internet browsing. On a new twenty four month contract all this will cost you £38 per month.
O2 have a pretty similar deal, although there are a few differences that might suit you a little better. You still get the free Acer laptop, of course, and you also get the Sony Xperia U in black. However, on the contract you get unlimited cross network calling minutes, unlimited text messaging and 1 GB of mobile internet browsing, plus you get Uk WiFi using O2 and BT's Openzone and Priority Moments (cheaper calling rates at certain times). And this deal is a little cheaper than Three's as well, running at just £36 per month on a twenty four month contract.
Still want the Acer laptop but not interested in a Sony Xperia phone? Not a problem. Orange is offering the laptop with a free Nokia Lumia 800, for the Windows phone fans amongst us. The contract is pretty hefty, coming with 900 cross network calling minutes, unlimited text messaging and 1 GB of internet data, plus free BT Openzone WiFi. It is an expensive contract though and will cost you £41 per month on a twenty four month contract.
If you're looking for something a little cheaper, then Orange has another deal that may suit you slightly better. This is the free Acer laptop along with a free Nokia 100. The Nokia 100 is a little more basic than most smart phones, but it's a great budget phone. The contract includes 400 cross network calling minutes, unlimited text messaging, and 250 MB of mobile internet data browsing. On a twenty four month contract this will cost you only £26 per month.
Phil Turner reviewed the best offers online. He thinks that mobile contracts with free gifts are a great marketing device.


I'm baaaack! It's Stacy again here, talking about new casino sites in the UK! This time I will discuss what makes new casinos better than the old ones. I will go into detail about why you should pick a new casino instead of playing with the same old, same old. A lot of this stuff will be pretty straightforward and logical, but I am sure that you will also learn a thing or two from good old moi.
Betfair is one of the worlds best sports books, but they also have a great casino. Try it yourself and see what I mean.
One of the most popular casinos in the United Kingdom. Massive game collection and big sports section.
Casumo is one of my favourite casinos. Great game selection, bonuses and wagering requirements.
Great UK casino with loads of slot machines from multiple game providers.
Overall a good casino site that has everything; casino, sports betting and poker.
BGO is not the most fancy of casinos, but it does however do the trick. Good game supply and wager free spins. Not much to compain about.
Firstly, we just have to establish how new casinos compare to old casinos. The interesting fact here, though, is that a lot of the time they simply don't! The cool thing about casinos is that they are software, not hardware. What this means is that you just log into a casino site that can be changed and updated on the fly whenever the people in charge decide to do so! Thus, casinos do not really get old like you and me, our friends and our mobile devices would! Every time that you log into a new casino or and old casino, you will get the latest version of it. Pretty cool, yea?
That is not all, however!
New UK casinos do still actually have some advantages as opposed to the older ones. Namely, new UK casino sites tend to be a lot hungrier and more ambitious than the vets out there. It is quite like when a new football player joins a club and is ready to make their mark in order to make for a bigger paycheck. The Ronaldos and the Messis out there do not really have a lot to prove anymore—and neither do old casinos!
If you want to receive the hottest and the most competitive online casino bonuses available to man (and woman, you chauvinist pig!) you had better try a new online casino! That is definitely your best bet!
Well then, now we are getting extra deep into the most vital stuff!
What you should understand is that not every new online casino is as good as the next one. Not at all! If that was the case, then that would have to apply everywhere in life, would it not?
Do you think that the new ice cream flavour of the month always trumps the old favourites? Nuh-uh, it sure as heck don't! Then, do you think that new TV series or video games are always better than the legendary classics of the yesteryear? No, no, and no!
Not everything that glistens is gold—that is what my great grandmother used to tell me! Being new is not always a sign of great things; it could also be sign of someone or something with less experience, less skill and less everything.
Here's one fun fact for those of you that are still rather inexperienced with both old and new online casinos in the UK! A lot of the online casino brands are actually owned by the same companies! Some of the bigger companies out there might even have more than five casinos under their name. As a result, a lot of the new casinos might actually be very skilfully developed pieces of gaming art and represent the best behaviour of an already experienced casino company! That is reason enough to keep your eyes peeled for the latest casinos!
Oh, and I almost forgot! Be sure to read all the reviews available here to hear my thoughts on what the best casinos are. I have no reason to sugarcoat stuff and will keep things one-hundred with you from start to finish! You can trust me like you can trust your momma (unless she is a born kleptomaniac, of course).
Ah, finally the topic shifts back to me and my preferences! I just looove to talk about myself here, since no one is there to interrupt me or limit my time. This might not be Myspace (man, what an old reference!), but this is definitely my own private space!
As I already explained, new online casinos have the best bonuses available. It is a question of whether you would rather have a 100% bonus or a 200% bonus plus 200 extra spins to go with it. Me, personally? I am a true hog for 200% bonuses that let me play for a lot longer and as a result let me have more chances to win!
Bonuses are not everything that new casinos in the UK offer us, though! Each new gambling site also has their very own name, theme, look and additional casino campaigns and competitions. That stuff makes it extremely exciting to click on a new casino link as you never know where you are going to end up!
Take a leap of faith and click on one of my links. It could turn out to be the best decision that you make today!
OnlineCasino-UK.com is the leading website about UK online casinos. Based in London, United Kingdom, we've reviewed and compared gambling sites for our readers since 2001. Our mission is to make your decision choosing where to play much easier. With knowledge we possess, you will find the best casino for you in no time.
Playing online casino should be fun, but there is always a risk when gambling. Remember to set limits for how much you can afford to lose, as well as how much time you can spend on gambling. If you feel you are playing to much please visit BeGambleAware or GamCare today.

They may be the seasonal workers who traverse the country picking our daily produce.* They may be the expatriates who come on temporary assignment for their multinational companies. Or they may be the intrepid** souls who have committed to calling these United States their new homeland.
People have been migrating since time immemorial.*** They have moved for safety from earthquakes and drought. From war and disease. From persecution and economic hardship. They have the same characteristics as our immigrant forebears who gave up the familiarity and comfort of home in order to take risks and build a better life.
Join us here every week with these heroic storytellers and learn about what it is that still makes America a destination for entrepreneurs and risk-takers.

Interpretive Summary: Bark beetles are responsibel for killing millions of trees in the Northern Hemisphere. This volume provides an interdisciplinary review on aspects of bark beetle physiology, especially how it relates to selecting, colonizing, and surviving in host trees. There are seven chapters that summarize decades of research and synthesize it with cutting-edge research findings under the unifying theme of suppressing future outbreaks. The stage is set by Raffa et al. as they provide a sequential perspective how bark beetles embark on a risky endeavor to make themselves a new home in the midst of hostile chemical defenses. Huber and Robert proceed with a comprehensive description of key physiological events involved during the early stages of colonization, followed by mechanisms that help bark beetles survive within their hosts through cold winter months. Keeling expands upon using genomic tools to gain insight into how bark beetles have adapted to their inhospitable host tree environment. Given the important role of pheromones for finding mates and host trees, antennal responses to attractants and repellents are described in the first chapter; three subsequent chapters are devoted to physiological aspects of these chemical messengers. Tittiger and Blomquist describe the latest views on pheromone production while Symonds and Gitau-Clarke provide an evolutionary perspective of pheromone diversity. Sullivan summarily brings more than 50 years of research on the southern pine beetle into historical perspective regarding attractants and repellents. Yet, the challenges with managing this pest using alternatives to synthetic insecticides is revealed by the somewhat dispiriting acknowledgement that despite valiant efforts no semiochemical-based strategies are commonly used that integrate attractants and repellents. As a further testament to the difficulty in managing bark beetle outbreaks, Tittiger and Blomquist note that distilling what's known about bark beetle pheromone production into control tactics remains as "a huge challenge". As climate change is facilitating bark beetle range and host expansion, Janes and Batista describe how genomic tools can assist with characterizing the influence of abiotic and biotic factors on population genetic structure and perhaps lead to novel management tactics. Details provided by the authors on DNA-based methods will undoubtedly benefit students and researchers. The volume's figures and tables are informative, but it is unfortunate that color images were included in an appendix instead of replacing the black and white images embedded within each chapter. Overall, these reviews will be valuable to students and researchers seeking fundamental information about these devastating insects. Hopefully existing knowledge can be implemented in such a way to stem the tide of future bark beetle outbreaks, but to some extent it has the appearance of trying to put out a forest fire with a garden hose.
Technical Abstract: If not the most destructive forest pest, bark beetles are probably a close second in their culpability for killing millions of trees in the Northern Hemisphere. This volume provides an aptly-timed interdisciplinary review on aspects of bark beetle physiology, especially how it relates to selecting, colonizing, and surviving in host trees. There are seven chapters that summarize decades of research and synthesize it with cutting-edge research findings under the unifying theme of suppressing future outbreaks. The stage is set by Raffa et al. as they provide a sequential perspective how bark beetles embark on a risky endeavor to make themselves a new home through a "near-total investment in single hosts" with hostile chemical defenses. Huber and Robert proceed with a comprehensive description of key physiological events involved during the early stages of colonization, followed by mechanisms that help bark beetles survive within their hosts through cold winter months. Keeling expands upon using genomic tools to gain insight into how bark beetles have adapted to their inhospitable host tree environment. Given the important role of pheromones for finding mates and host trees, the neurophysiology of olfactory responses to host-derived volatiles and beetle-derived pheromones is astutely described in the first chapter; three subsequent chapters are devoted to physiological aspects of these chemical messengers. Tittiger and Blomquist describe the latest views on pheromone production via metabolic pathways by highlighting contemporary evidence for the de novo biosynthesis of pheromones over initial propositions from the 1970s that they arose from plant-derived precursors. An evolutionary perspective of pheromone diversity is provided by Symonds and Gitau-Clarke under the caveat that a capacity to rapidly change pheromone composition could have important implications for management tactics. Sullivan summarily brings more than 50 years of research on the southern pine beetle into historical perspective regarding the role of semiochemicals. Yet, the challenges with managing this pest using alternatives to synthetic insecticides is revealed by the somewhat dispiriting acknowledgement that despite valiant efforts no semiochemical-based strategies are commonly used that integrate attractants and repellents. As a further testament to the difficulty in managing bark beetle outbreaks, Tittiger and Blomquist note that distilling what's known about bark beetle pheromone production into control tactics remains as "a huge challenge". As climate change is facilitating range and host expansion, Janes and Batista describe how genomic tools can assist with characterizing the influence of abiotic and biotic factors on population genetic structure and perhaps lead to novel management tactics.

Riverdale season 5 episode 4: Show boss on time-jump decision
Riverdale	 February 10, 2021
As we prepare for Riverdale season 5 episode 4 on The CW tomorrow, it is abundantly clear already that we are in a totally new era. We are moving forward in time and with that, everything will be different. Betty is training to become an FBI agent, Jughead is a writer, and we are also going to have a chance to see Archie arrive back to Riverdale to find it totally different. Hiram has seized control of much of it, and he's going to have to do whatever he can in order to save the day.
So why was the idea of a time jump so intriguing to the writers behind the scenes? In a new interview over at TVLine, here is some of what executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa had to say on the subject:
"It is really fun to start with a semi-fresh slate … Our plotting on the show can, as the fans know, get pretty baroque and intricate, and there is a lot of baggage and history that comes with the stories we told. We thought that there was something really exciting about being able to find all our characters in completely different places and playing different dynamics."
In this particular portion of the story, everything is going to be different. There's also a new villain-of-sorts entering the fray: Chad. This is Veronica's husband, and someone who has a lot of power and not a lot of manners. He's going to have a particular view of Riverdale, and he may end up causing some problems for a lot of the other major characters in this story.
While we do think there are a few big reveals in tomorrow's episode, don't expect everything to be introduced. There are a few surprises likely to be around every corner.

Peru is not only a great destination for backpackers and cheap travel, it is a treasure when it comes to spend your vacation in the most luxurious way possible and pamper yourself a little bit. While Peru is a country of numerous hikes it does not mean one is obliged to sleep in a tent in the freezing night and to do without some luxury. There are several ways of how you can make your holiday an extra memorable one and obtain the Peru luxury tours that you are looking for.
Throughout Peru you will have a vast selection of luxury hotels, mostly in big(ger) cities like Lima, Arequipa, Cusco, Puno, etc. There are certain luxury chains that you can find in several cities, such as the Belmond Hotel, JW Marriott, Aranwa, Inkaterra Hotel or the Casa Andina Premium Hotel chains. Especially luxury hotels in Cusco are a sight to see: local mansions and palaces, centuries old, have been converted to hotels for an extra special experience. Examples are the Palacio del Inka and Belmond Palacio Nazarenas where you can literally sleep like a king or queen. Not only can you enjoy an incredible service but also oxygen enrichment in every room (which is great due to the high altitude of about 3,400 m in Cusco), nobly decorated halls and rooms with their own mini-fridges filled with delicacies. Slightly farther outside from Cusco lies the Palacio Manco Capac hotel with a great view over the historical center of the city. Another great choice, located in Lima, is the Hotel B designed in 1914 in the artistic district Barranco.
Depending on where you plan on going you have various options of how to get there. The fastest way is of course by plane, with LATAM and Avianca airlines offering the best service and usually the most frequent flight schedule. However, some destinations might not be reachable by plane. The bus system in Peru is quite advanced and there are bus companies that offer a luxurious travel experience, such as Cruz del Sur with big, comfortable seats with an adjustable back of 180º and served food during your bus ride. For anyone whose bucket list features Machu Picchu will find that you can get there either hiking, by bus or by train. Take a look at the luxury train to Machu Picchu, the Hiram Bingham train in the style of the 1920s. It is operated by PeruRail, a local train company, and includes among others a gourmet lunch, an observatory car to be amazed by the beautiful scenery, typical dances, a live music show and a bar car where cocktails are served. An even more luxurious train and also South America's first sleeper train is the Belmond Andean Explorer. Launched in 2017 its destinations en route include Cusco, Puno and Arequipa. Along with the first-class service come two bars, a spa, cabins with private bathrooms and an observation car. The train offers four different routes. For exploring the northern Peruvian jungle, what about a luxury cruise on the Amazon? With operators such as the Delfin Amazon cruises or Aqua Expeditions you float for a few days on the water while witnessing the great flora and fauna of the Amazon aboard a high-end ship.
There are, of course, options of Peru luxury tours for any hiking-enthusiasts. You can do hikes while staying overnight at luxury hotels or elegant eco lodges. One of the luxury operators is Mountain Lodges of Peru offering high-end treks through the Sacred Valley, Lares and the Salkantay Inca Trail Trek. After each day relax in an outdoor jacuzzi, taste gourmet menus and sleep in elegant accommodations. Also in Tambopata, in the south-eastern Amazon, luxury lodges take you on a trip into the local rainforest and wildlife. If you are looking for something more relaxed, why not going on a culinary tour? Peruvian cuisine counts as one of the best in the world. Typical food and delicacies vary between the different regions: coast, Andes and jungle. In each of them you can find gourmet chefs that are happy to show you how to prepare the delicious dishes in cooking classes. Or what about pampering yourself in a spa? Not only on a luxury trek you can take advantage of this service, but also during your stay in the Sacred Valley near Cusco or the Colca Valley near Arequipa. Some hotels such as the Aranwa Resort & Spa in the Sacred Valley and the Las Casitas del Colca Spa Samay incorporate native Andean herbs and / or salts in their indigenous treatments.
For anyone who is looking for luxury on a budget in Peru, we recommend to book accommodations and tours well in advance. Furthermore, prices usually decrease in low season which is from November to March. This is also rainy season, but don't get discouraged, Peru has a lot to offer during this time and nature is incredibly lush and beautiful. Make sure to check out special offers at hotels and for anyone who wants to enjoy a luxurious train ride to Machu Picchu but the Hiram Bingham or the Belmond are not in their budget: the panoramic Vistadome train (by PeruRail) or the 360º Machu Picchu train (by IncaRail) are great alternatives! To make your Peru luxury tours unforgettable hire a knowledgeable and experienced Peru travel guide. They are the ones that will take you to a journey through time for an incredible holiday experience.


In the midst of change and growth, sometimes the hardest part is not letting go of what you have always known. But to begin new chapters in life, I'm learning that we must be okay to let go of the past, in order to make room for what's to come next.
Lately, I've been inconsistent with my creative projects, including my blog, because upcoming changes in my professional career are on the horizon, and I'm watching how this next chapter will take form. My heart is ready for new experiences, challenges and opportunities that will allow me to use all that I have in a new way.
Pick something that makes you feel good inside and out. It sounds strange to start with the exterior, but when you dress up to celebrate life, you'll notice it will uplift you too. For me, my uniform is selecting a variation of a black top, paired with denim pants and ankle boots. A few key accessories you'll never find me without are my Quay Australia sunnies, my ThirdEye Pinecone necklace and my newest uniform addition, my JORD Frankie series zebrawood watch. Something about incorporating natural elements into my favorite outfit makes me feel closely connected to nature, even in the middle of this city hustle and bustle.
This could be a quaint cafe, or a relaxing view in your town. For me, one of my favorite spots is Sutro Baths in San Francisco. Especially when the sun rarely comes out to play, I'll wake up early and visit any calm place in Golden Gate National Recreation Area to relax and reflect.
I am grateful for the good in my life.
Something great is happening to me. I open myself to the possibilites.
Letting things come undone returns me to powerful innocence.
When I take a pause from receiving multiple messages, I can hear my true calling.
All of my treasures are buried deep inside, and I trust in the resources I already have on hand.
With this new chapter, I am grateful for a new start.
I trust myself to handle anything.
I am confident and brave. I live in the present and look forward to the future.
BEST OF LUCK ON YOUR NEW BEGINNINGS!
FOR PARTNERING WITH ME AND GIFTING ME THIS BEAUTIFUL WATCH.


Get ready: You're probably going to see these videos everywhere.
Crafting a short-form video masterpiece on an iPhone or iPad is possible, but Apple just made it a little easier. This morning, the company announced a new iOS app called Clips that -- long story short – tries to help anyone piece together a polished, well-produced video without a lot of work. After playing with the app earlier this week, I'd say Apple succeeded.
Now, you might be thinking that Apple already has a few video creation and editing tools available for iOS, and you're right. On one end of the spectrum, there are so-called Memories videos, wherein Photos on iOS 10 automatically pieces together slideshow videos from pictures you've taken. Meanwhile, iMovie sits on the other end. It's not too difficult to master, but laying out clips and audio tracks on a timeline can seem daunting to beginners. It's not hard, then, to see how Clips is meant to fill the gap between these two experiences. Indeed, the simplified process of creating and editing video will feel awfully familiar to some.
If you've ever recorded clips and stitched them into a single video in Instagram, congratulations: You already know how this app works. Hold down the record button to capture what you want, let go when you're done, and repeat. Once you're finished with that, you can drag your clips into your desired order and flesh out your micro-films with photos, as well as filters, emoji, titles and animated icons. What would have taken minutes in iMovie takes seconds here, thanks especially to some intelligent algorithms.
You know those short, captioned videos that have invaded all your social networks as of late? For better or worse, they're now dead-simple to create. Step 1: Choose a look for the text you want on-screen. Step 2: Speak. That's it. From there, your words are automatically transcribed and time-coded so the text appears pops up in the video the moment you say them. In my very brief time playing with Clips, this was easily the most impressive trick the app had to offer, though I wouldn't go so far as to call it perfect.
Since the dictation in this so-called Live Titles feature is powered in part by Siri, you'll need a decent data connection for it to work in the field. (If one isn't available, you could always go back and add Live Titles later.) Also, internet connections aside, the app will almost certainly misinterpret your words from time to time. My favorite goof from our testing session: It turned the word "macchiato" into the seemingly Scottish surname "McYaddow". Thankfully, it's easy enough to edit those Live Titles after they've been recorded, and they'll still be correctly time-coded when you're done. iOS is also smart enough to tell when you're talking about a person, so if the app transcribes a name you've spoken in the video, that person appears as a suggested contact when you try to share your creation.
Clips' other hat trick comes in at the end of the process, after you've pieced together your opus. Beyond using your own music as a soundtrack, Clips comes with a handful of pre-recorded tracks that range from cliché hipster-ukelele to a dense, dramatic piece composed by Hans Zimmer. (Seriously.) What's really neat is how these songs can expand and contract; they're pieced together from a selection of intros, middle bits and closers to precisely fit the length of your video. Even in the app's unfinished state, the effect in my demo was near-seamless.
There's a lot of power here behind those simple controls, but Clips doesn't require Apple's latest and greatest hardware to work properly. When it launches next month, it will run on the iPhone 5s and newer models, along with the iPad Air and more recent tablets. (Just make sure your device is running iOS 10.3.) Given Apple's popularity and how pervasive the iPhone seems to be, you should probably spend the next few days or weeks enjoying the world before these slick little videos wind up everywhere.
