The Jacksonville Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons are practically neighbors so they often face off in the preseason. That's the case on Thursday night at the Georgia Dome in the preseason finale for both. It's also the final preseason game ever in the building as Atlanta is moving to a new stadium next year. The Falcons are favored on NFL odds.
These teams didn't play last preseason but that's because they played in the regular season and for the most part, teams would prefer not to play a preseason game against a team it will then face in the regular season. The Falcons won in Jacksonville in Week 15 23-17 to end a six-game losing skid at the time. Julio Jones finished with nine receptions for 118 yards and a TD. The Falcons used a 31-yard pass interference penalty to set up a 33-yard field goal with about 10 minutes remaining, and then Shayne Graham added a 46-yarder with 1:42 remaining. Matt Ryan completed 22 of 35 passes for 246 yards, with a touchdown and an interception.
The Jags closed out their home preseason schedule with a 26-21 win over Cincinnati on Sunday. Blake Bortles was 10-for- 16 for 52 yards. Joe Banyard led the team with 54 yards rushing on 11 carries. Neal Sterling caught three passes for 31 yards and a TD. The Jaguars turned the ball over once and managed just 9 yards and one first down in the first quarter. The Jaguars' first-team offense played the entire first half against the Bengals and ended up with 86 yards, three points and just five first downs. There wereissues with the offensive line and six penalties. The Bengals outgained the Jaguars 163-90 in the first half, pushing a 14-3 halftime lead to 21-3 with a 21-yard third-quarter touchdown pass from quarterback A.J. McCarron to wide receiver Alex Erickson. The Jaguars rallied with the game's final 19 points. "The coaching staff and front office aren't panicking, but at the same time being a competitor with all the buzz we definitely wanted to put our best foot forward. I think every guy in here, especially on the defensive side of the ball, can say that we didn't go out there and play to our expectations," safety Tashaun Gipson said. The game marked the Jaguars debut of Kelvin Beachum, who started at left tackle with Luke Joeckel starting at left guard. Either Beachum or Joeckel are expected to start at left tackle with the other at left guard – though Joeckel struggled at times in his first NFL start at guard on Sunday after playing well at tackle in the first two preseason games.
The Falcons lost 17-6 to Miami last Thursday. Ryan completed 12 of 22 passes for 129 yards, no touchdowns and one interception. Jones left in the second quarter with an ankle injury. The injury isn't serious but you aren't likely to see Jones in this game. Jones appeared to get banged up after bumping into Dolphins cornerback Bobby McCain while trying to catch Ryan deep ball. Jones limped to the sideline immediately after the play, which drew a 44-yard pass interference penalty on McCain. The Falcons also got bad news on first-round rookie safety Keanu Neal as he hurt his knee in the game and was to have surgery on Monday. He is out 3-4 weeks. Neal missed a tackle attempt on running back Arian Foster, then went to the ground in pain. This is the second injury this preseason for Neal, who also missed the preseason opener against Washington with a "trunk" injury. The Falcons already were down one strong safety with Neal's backup, Kemal Ishmael, sidelined with a shoulder injury. With Neal out, the Falcons signed veteran safety Dashon Goldson. Goldson started 15 games last season for Washington last season and was lowest rated safety in the league by profootballfocus.com. He was an All-Pro as recently as 2012 and is a former two-time Pro Bowler. Goldson, who is listed at 6-foot-2, 200 pounds and turns 32 in September, was released by the Washington Redskins on March 7. Washington saved $8 million on its salary cap with the move. Meanwhile, after missing the last two exhibition games with a hamstring injury, Matt Bryant returned to practice on Sunday and kicked well, according to head coach Dan Quinn. Now that he's back in action, the 41-year- old will compete with fellow veteran Shayne Graham for Atlanta's kicking job.
Jaguars are 9-23 ATS in their last 32 games in September. Jaguars are 1-4- 1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Falcons are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Thursday games. Falcons are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in September. Falcons are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. Falcons are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games overall.
Take Atlanta on NFL odds and the under.

Let's Hang Out! When Does Social Go Too Far?
When I think of social media I think of a generally positive environment, where most people are trying to be liked (literally and figuratively). We go about finding like minded ideas, commenting on articles and sharing opinions and thoughts… its fun! However, as more people embrace these channels for communication on a regular basis; I'm finding that more are pushing the boundaries of privacy. Where is too far?
I have a weird thing about hanging out with Twitter friends, or anybody I know purely from online. If someone takes a proactive approach to try and meet up with me 1 on 1 from purely social channels, (even if it is for business reasons) it feels weird. There is something settling about having a conversation with a stranger over a phone before meeting them in person that settles me down, and I don't necessarily get that with social media.Now this is different, if I run in to someone at an event or expo that I have had communication with, but never met in person. In that environment I feel comfortable speaking with someone whom I'd conversed with purely online.
Is this scenario why social is cool? Or is this why social is creepy? I think it is a bit of both. I think it definitely depends on the company's image and positioning. I don't want to get a remorseful message from my credit card processing vendor, however I might take a message from Toms Shoes a bit more to heart.
This is where PR and social tie together. Your brand's social strategy must be consistent across all platforms of your business. You don't want to have an outsourced community manager that doesn't understand the company culture; you want to have a consistent, targeted strategy from high level PR strategy to lower level, consumer facing social media strategy.

Handel 18th century performance style and ornamentation
Author Topic: Handel 18th century performance style and ornamentation (Read 4247 times)
David Pinnegar
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxVUQxMaNew is a brilliant insight as to ornamentation in the late 18th century. To what extent would this have been current in Handel's day some years before?
Is anyone familiar with the Handel Organ Concertos who could possibly assist with appropriate suggestions of the registration of this instrument with which to make a new recording?

Re: Handel 18th century performance style and ornamentation
From the liner notes supplied with an EMI recordings release, performed from 1968-71, digitally remastered in 1998, and compiled in 2007...
With Simon Preston as organist and the Menuhin Festival Orchestra conducted by Yehudi Menuhin...
Concertos 1, 5, 13 & 14 Merchant Taylor's Hall, London
Concertos 2, 3, 9 & 15 Great Packington Church, Warwickshire
Concertos 4, 6, 8 & 10 Queen Elizabeth Hall, London
Concertos 7, 11, & 12 St Paul's Girls' School, London
We normally associate organ music with the church, and with large, powerful instruments which produce a thrilling variety of sounds. But Handel's organ concertos were actually composed for the Theatre, and were intended for small, portable English organs which had a light, delicate tone, and were provided with just a handful of stops, but no pedals. Handel's concertos were deliberately popular in character, and were designed to entertain audiences during the intervals of his choral works and oratorios.
I hope in listing the locations where this relatively "new" set of recordings was made along with the description quoted above this will give you some insight...
Seems a "barrel organ" would be an ideal instrument to reproduce the "organ" portion of the concerto as these would likely contain the appropriate stops... However...
Handel's improvisation did not stop with the introductory "voluntary movement". In later life, after he had become blind, he tended to avoid playing his earlier concertos from memory, and according to one eyewitnhess he chose instead to 'trust to his inventive powers... giving the band only the skeleton, or ritornels of each movement, he played all of the solo part extempore, while the other instruments left him, ad libitum, waiting for the signal of a shake, befrore they played such fragments of music as they found in their books.
The published versions of Handel's later organ concertos bear this out. In the Concerto in D minor (Op.7 no.4), for instance, the second movement contains a total of six "ad libitum" markings for the soloist which actually require the improvisation of whole passages in
continuation of ideas suggested by the composer. Thus no two performances of the concerto should ever sound exactly the same, especially since the third movement is left entirely to the discretion of the performer.
The objective is to reach human immortality—that is, to create things which are necessary to mankind, necessary to the purpose of the existence of mankind, and which have become the fruit that drives the creation of a higher state of mankind than ever existed before."
The barrel organ of c1790 from the Colt Collection has now been acquired for public access and study - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgBjksRoX9g
With a repertoire of 60 items spread across 16 rolls drawn from opera, popular and sacred music as well as two of Handel's concertos the instrument is a unique insight into 18th century performance style.

that is most impressive ! There can't be may ways to know what was being played in the 18th Century, but this seems to be one of them !
Regards Peter B
A couple of weeks ago Rowan Williams from Gloucester 6th Form College came to see research historic performance times of known repertoire and we were able to do some recordings. With sight of a score we were able to register the instrument to make some sense of the music in places.

I'm not sure if older Alexander teachers remember how Alexander's work used to be taught with an attitude of paradoxical belittlement. The famously confounding British humor delivered completely arrogant intimidation and humiliation, along with stupefying physical freedom. All the while the Alexander teacher is telling the student, "dare to be wrong." That was quite a challenge for the practice of refusing to react!
Differing from the hope of enthusiastic learners who find Alexander lessons making them happier, merely learning A.T. will not "right" the values of the world. It will only make people express their values easier and more completely. Beyond selling the values of effortlessness, freedom, reason and patience, there are no further morals inherent in Alexander's work.
As a person learns the ability to choose from any given priority of intents, these can now come from whatever mixture of criteria and values a person desires to express. This is power, and it can be a big step up into acting responsibly.
However, the content and priorities of these values (even if cultural) are still a deciding factor that are your responsibility. In this way, A.T. can be compared to the sword practice of the ancient Japanese feudal Samurai class. The Samurai efficiently carried out definite cultural values with violent ends and exquisite, elegant means.
Given patience, Alexander Technique becomes a practical means to carry out intent and to unify thought into action. The action is movement, but the ramifications reverberate all though one's power to make decisions in general.
Why a person wants to improve their life or if they want to find out how far they can improve indefinitely – these motives can come from any value system. Values are often determined by them or any culture to which they belong. There is no moral stricture present in Alexander's work. AT can be applied to any goal – even ego-driven goals. After learning from Alexander's example, these values can now run as a course of direction requiring course corrections now and then, rather than a dictate of desperate, coercive necessity.

President Yudhoyono target of foiled attack
JAKARTA - Terrorists planned to kill Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in revenge for the execution of the Bali bombers. However late yesterday Indonesia's National Police chief, Bambang Hendarso Danuri, would not confirm that South East Asia's most wanted man, Noordin M Top, had been shot dead after a 17-hour siege in Central Java.
It is believed the dead man is Top however General Danuri told a news conference he could not confirm that Top had been killed, saying the process of identification would take until next week. He would not even confirm whether the dead man looked like Top. It was initially believed there had been three people in the house but it turned out to be only one body. Next to it was an unexploded bomb.
General Danuri told a news conference about the circumstances leading to today's siege and the arrest of terrorists in the midst of planning a carbombing against the country�s leader. A man called Amir Abdilah was arrested in North Jakarta on August 5 and turned out to be a goldmine of information. He lead police to Top�s safehouse in Temanggung, Central Java and to another terror safehouse in Jati Asih, outside Jakarta.
It was at this house that hundreds of kilograms of explosives were being stored in readiness for the attack on the President, SBY. The attack had been planned for two weeks from August 1. The President�s home is about 12 minutes from the safehouse. At this house two men were shot dead as they attempted to launch bombs at police early yesterday.
One of them was Air Setiawan, a man arrested and jailed for his role in the Australian Embassy bombing and who, after release from jail in 2007, rejoined the terrorists. General Danuri said that Amir Abdilah had told police that on April 30,Noordin Top had conducted a meeting in West Java where he declared the target was to be SBY, who had allowed and supported the execution of the Bali bombers last year.

This was my third year attending the famed Hampton University Minister's Conference. My thoughts and reflections are still somewhat of a jumbled mass in my mind. What follows is my attempt to make sense of disorderedness in my brain in a coherent way that gives clarity to the Hampton experience.
There's a difference between a sermon that is mechanically and technically good, and one that possesses transformative capacities. Just because a sermon is good doesn't mean it's transformative. I would argue, in part, what helps close that gap is the ability to have what Walter Bruggeman recognizes as a prophetic imagination. A preacher needs to be able to 1) look forward and catch a glimpse of the future and 2) they need to be able to end the sermon with some semblance of communicating to the people what they saw. The innate ability to see the ordinary, pick it up, turn it around—and help the listener see what you saw—then set it back down, is clearly a gift that is sorely lacking these days. The preacher can't claim to be prophetic if she or he can't see past the room they plan on killing when closing out the sermon.
Being able to cast out a long line in the deep waters of prophetic imagination and reel it back in requires hope. An orientation focused on hope is also what aids in closing the gap between simply a good sermon and a transformative sermon. However, it seems many are comfortable fishing in familiar waters with their theology in order to prepare a sermon. The same perspectives will (re)produce the same theologies; no wonder so many black folks who sit in churches week after week haven't found a way to be agents of transformation in their own lives.
Unfortunately, far too many sermons this year at Hampton were built on respectability politicking or half-heard definitions and unpacked themes. (How do you miss the Holy Spirit connection in the wind or employ partly-used metaphors never visited again; or attempt to pack a three-part sermon from six verses into one sermon; or utilizing confessional theologies as the sermonic fulcrum that's more equipped for Sunday school than a major conference.) It was clear that many preachers were relying on their whooping abilities to "kill" the room, rather than employing their prophetic imagination to close the gap from good to transformative.
I'm concerned that this is the best we have to offer out of the historic African American preaching tradition. Given that there is a strong contingent of millennials, especially those under-30 who grew up hearing great stories about Hampton, is this the legacy that Hampton is leaving for millennials to inherit? Is this what hope looks like to some preachers? Seriously, I felt like Erik Killmonger and wanted to stand up and say "Is this your king?" to a few people who graced the microphone.
When preaching is more bewitched by the acclaim and applause that happens in the phenomenon of call-and-response, it will never go past being just good preaching. And for far too many, the judgement of a sermon is—rightly or wrongly—based on congregational response. But, a quiet house can sometimes tell an incomplete story. Maybe, just maybe, the people are listening. Active listening, I'd argue, doesn't happen when people are breaking out in "You better preach!" and "Come on Doc!" exclamations. Generally, those cheering points only happen when the preacher is already affirming previously believed theologies. If the preacher is saying something new—having had cast their net into the deeper waters of prophetic imagination—it would stand to reason that the congregation is going to engage in more active listening.
Notwithstanding the politics of standing at the end when the preacher is closing also weighs in on how good someone's sermon is perceived. Perhaps, as some bastardized offshoot of respectability politics, to stay seated while a preacher is whooping is to communicate that you don't like what they're saying or you don't support them. The inverse is also true, to stand is to give your full support of what the preacher is saying and of them in general. Watching who stands first makes a difference; who stands last is just as important. All of which should not have influence on how good or transformative one's sermon is, but this seems to be a cultural standard of judgment. A sermon could be outright trash, but between who's standing and how well-executed the whoop is, too many would walk away saying "He killed the house, Doc!" And less than a week later, no one would be able to say what the sermon was about anyway.
Finally, it is a significant institutional statement when someone who's never been accused of being a preacher is assigned the task of being the main conference preacher. No one has raved about Bishop Paul Morton's preaching in the social circles that attend Hampton. The fact that rumors of Joel Osteen's name was originally floated as the conference minister tells the story of how Hampton seems to be making a shift away from focusing on the historic African American preaching tradition. That dynamic in the air functioning as the zeitgeist of the conference ultimately makes a difference in the second round of Late Night when it was clear that the vast majority of millennials present didn't even bother to attend the evening service simply because of the preacher.
In the hazy gray light that filled the sanctuary, the colors of Hampton University's Memorial Chapel were washed out like a book cover left in the sunlight too long. Yet in the grandeur of the architecture, it was a sight to behold watching a man challenge the authority of Hampton's chaplain in her own pulpit.
This exchange was brought about because of a re-vote that occurred when it was determined that Rev. Cynthia Hale's recommendation for a nomination to run as president of HUMC's executive board was not accepted. The narrative thus emerged that Hampton was a place of patriarchal rule even in 2018. It's hard to counter this narrative when the number of women who had the opportunity to speak on the mainstage is pitiably few compared to the men. It's hard to counter this narrative when only one woman was invited to participate in Late Night—and she was titled "Minister" despite the fact that she's fully ordained, pastoring a Baptist church, and ran for a statewide Baptist office. It's hard to counter this narrative when there's only been one woman as president of HUMC in its 104 years of existence.
The chaplain of Hampton University is Rev. Debra Haggins. The man who challenged her was Superintendent Linwood Dillard. Dillard is the pastor of Citadel of Deliverance Church of God in Christ and is chair of COGIC's AIM convention. The exchange between the two seemed to illuminate all of the reasons why the re-vote was called: the absolute failure for men to simply respect women in ministry. It took Haggins being very direct, as she stood on the rostrum, to elucidate to a crowd divided by tradition and denominational allegiance that this was a conference and not a convention; this was not a place for delegates to vote, but rather for attendees to voice their choice.
The issue of Hale's nomination, in favor of having a woman lead HUMC, was never addressed in the open floor. It was the big elephant in the room no one seemed or cared to address. Absent from the room was Hampton's venerated president, William Harvey. Also absent from the room were the 51 votes needed to make Hale the next president. Bishop Joseph Connor was elected by majority vote for a two-year term. During the next two years a special commission appointed by Harvey, will review and recommend changes for the HUMC handbook; a handbook that no one in leadership over the last era seems to have been following with any level of diligence.
Whether for political reasons or not, those that chose to vote for Connor or simply abstain, are no better than those who voted for Donald Trump. Not that Connor is the same as Trump, but the mindset behind voting against Hale is similar. Rather than vote in favor of progressive history, 321 decided to vote for the status quo. (I politely told a few of my friends who voted for Connor that if any of them decided to complain about his sermon next year that I would tell them "Well, you voted for him.") Overwhelmingly, the millennial contingent, especially those under 30, voted for Hale.
The in-your-face grappling with the reality of such a statement is something we, as the institutional Black Church haven't done well. Black church culture still reveres pastors who celebrate their thirtieth, fortieth and even fiftieth pastoral anniversaries. Far too many don't have viable transition plans in place as they preach from walkers, wheelchairs and hobble about on walking canes in failing health. God forbid the pastor drop dead in the pulpit. Even though many of us are familiar with the story of C.L. Franklin and how the church was in limbo until his ultimate death—the five years between the shooting incident and his death were years of grave tumult over leadership—there still hasn't been a shift in black Christian culture to implement feasible plans for retirement and leadership transition.
As easy as it is to see how few women are in leadership amongst the executive board of HUMC, it's just as easy to notice how few millennials are present as well in the decision-making process. The selection of Bishop Morton is proof positive that authentic millennial voices aren't present. Or even, the structure of Late Night still doesn't appear to be inclusive enough of the diversity within the African American preaching tradition. How many millennial preachers were present at late night who don't identify with whooping as a homiletical requirement? Given that the oral tradition of African American preaching is varied, why aren't there other opportunities for spoken word offerings, the visual arts or even laboratories where feedback is given to perfect the craft?
If Hampton this year is a sign of things to come, then the future doesn't bode well for millennials having a voice. In addition to other convocations that young ministers need to attend because of denominational commitments, there are other conferences out there competing for millennials' time and money that may take the place of Hampton. The Pastor and Leaders conference and Issachar Church Growth & Development (IC3) conference held by Bishop T.D. Jakes and Rev. Ralph West respectively are growing by leaps and bounds. Not to mention Elder Mark Moore's Young Leaders Conference—who himself is a millennial—is attracting the under 30 crowd in a significant way. Meanwhile, this year, Hampton didn't even have a working app to download onto your phone. And there was no major marketing push toward millennials when it came to programming or workshops offered. Even on the music side, the majority of the attendants aren't millennials nor Gen X'ers, but actually baby boomers!
I will say this: if millennials are interested in reclaiming historic spaces, it's going to be an uphill journey and it will take political savvy and a knowledge of institutions. On the other hand, institutional power brokers ought not be shocked when millennials choose not to deal with them: why sit around and wait for someone to die when you can just go out and create your own? No institution was formed ex-nihilo. There is always an idea or a collection of ideas that has a starting point. And those who created our venerated churches and historically black schools didn't choose the "wait and see" option, but rather they seized the opportunity in the moment and made it work. But it should be of no shock when millennials decide to take the path of least resistance by either creating their own space or inhabiting a space that's less hostile to new thoughts and modes of being. Lest we forget, tradition is just the most recently implemented new idea.
Did anyone ever find out who Veronica Coleman was and who nominated her? This was the third person nominated for president from the floor.
Also, poor Bishop Millicent Hunter: she got nominated for everything but dog catcher and won nothing.
I am not a millennial. I am more of a Gen-Xer in the body of a Boomer. But I gravitate to developing leadership among them so that they can, in turn, develop the Zs. I don't know what it shall look like, but taking a page out of leadership practices which recommend a coalition as one of the measures to use to break apart toxic leadership, I am of the keen opinion that it may take an ecclesiastical coup-d-etat of sorts (or some kind of thoughtfully organized coalition) to challenge church institutions that have ossified or are becoming moribund. I would encourage these most recent generations not to bow out of Hampton without some thoughtful attempt at transformation.
Whew! This was a lot and very good information as well as a conversation that we must have with the future generations. I am a Gen-Xer and I believe that our foreparents have done a poor job in "passing the baton".
In order for the church to stop the decline in membership we must change some of our methods. Now I agree some of what you said on the preaching how need more "transformative sermons"; but do not neglect the "celebration" or "whooping" it's part of who we are as a people.
"Just because its traditional doesn't mean its transformational".
Jesus challenged a lot of the traditions of Israel. Jesus said that the Sabbath was made to meet the NEEDS of people, and not people to meet the requirements of the Sabbath. I love to hear me some good ol'whooping at times, but come on, what need is it really meeting other than sensationalism?
I believe what's been happening is there has been a "hunger" that has not been fed at times. We are trying to excite the flesh but not feed the soul with the Word. I believe us as African Americans grew up and transitioned from the milk of our uneducated season (slavery and Jim Crow eras) but our ministries/ministers were stayed stagnant & somewhat retarded. So our sermons were still milky or soupy and not meeting the need at hand. We needed and desired "meat" for growth but wasn't getting it. But I believe this actually started at the end of the Boomer era.
I do agree we did drop the baton somewhere along the way.
The Black church is in serious danger. Both older members and leaders are dying off, with no young people to replace them. I've noticed that a lot of churches lose their young people after the age of 18. What can be done to keep them invested in the Lords church?
As a children's minister one reason that youth 18 and under loose their interest in church is because they have never experienced the presence of God on their own. While they have been in our churches for years they live off believing God is real through grandmas, mama's and their Sunday School teachers testimony. I've heard it from their own mouths "I've never felt his presence." You can look at Christian churches in Africa that are predominately children and youth who are on fire for God. What you shall find is they have seen God move among them and their peers. They have laid hands on sick, they have watched the dead be resurrected, they have seen miracles, signs and wonders which they can attest to. The question is…when will our children have a real encounter and experience? For what many Black churches have to offer them, children and youth ministry is heading to a quick and early grave.
I stumbled on this a year late and This.Is.Everything. Kudos to you for speaking your truth.


...or maybe a toad...or perhaps a lizard.
Yup, our wee little cat learned a valuable life lesson the other night. At least we hope he did.
Dave saw the little dude with some sort of amphibian/lizard type critter in his mouth. Being the proud little cat that he is, he took off runnin' not about to give up his prized possession.
But it turns out that such critters have a defense of their own designed to discourage predators...and our sweet little predator was soon frothing at the mouth and barely able to see through his swollen, squinty eyes.
Off to the emergency vet we went where $89 later it was determined that our little dude would be just fine. And maybe, just maybe, he learned a little somethin'.
Super cute painting. Years ago, I had a cat in the same situation. He'd been watching a toad and I told him to rethink his plans. Being a cat, he paid me no attention & the next time I saw him he was frothing & looking very unhappy. I don't think he ever bothered a toad again!
Thanks!!! I hope my cat is as smart as your cat and avoids them from here on out!

In the late 1940s, tired of not finding a light adapted to his general mechanics activity, Jean-Louis Domecq draws one. After some trial and error, the final drawing is fixed in April 1950. It perfectly matches the specifications: simple, robust and articulated in order to adapt itself to all workstations. With this great invention, from 1951 to 1952, he industrialize the production. In 1953, he creates a company dedicated to the marketing of his lamp and whose initials make the name: Ji eL Dé.
Since that date, this lamp called "Standard" by customers, never ceased to be produced and to evolve. Died in 1983, he will not see, in the 1990s, its successors to get the "Standard" off its purely industrial context. Floor lamp, reading lamp, wall lamp, bright colors, the Standard became Loft.

How much does it take to be not just a woman but a fabulous one? It all depends on how you look at it. If you're focusing on appearances, all it takes would be money and some expert advice on style, perhaps. But if you want to know the secret, or not so secret, ingredients of fabulous womanhood, here they are.
Smiling is the best way to let your inner beauty shine from within. Even the most stylish outfit will lose some of its charm, if your expression tells the world you hate it. A smile, on the other hand, will invariably make you look even more beautiful, not to mention making you feel better. That's a fact, even if you start smiling without feeling happy, at some point you will start feeling happy, strange as this may sound.
The skill of listening to other people is becoming increasingly rare. We all want to be listened to but few are those among us who can actually listen and hear what someone else is saying. Besides the fact that being able to listen is good manners, it is also useful to you – you can see things from someone else's perspective, and this could be an interesting perspective, one that you've never contemplated before. Ultimately, listening will help you grow as a person.
Being able to listen complements how you talk, and how you talk reveals a lot about how you think. If you have trouble expressing an idea clearly and understandably, then chances are that this idea is not very clear to you either. Take the time to think before you say something. Too much pain in the world is caused by people who speak before thinking whether what they say may hurt someone or offend them. Offending people is not attractive and it's not a demonstration of honesty. You can be honest without being hurtful. May your words be filled with kindness.
Let's elaborate a bit on the topic of thinking, not just before speaking, but in general. Sometimes it's good to act on an impulse but, unfortunately for those who like being impulsive, the majority of situations we find ourselves in on a daily basis, require that we think before we act. Let's take the simplest example: an impulse to buy something that you later come to regret. Why not spare yourself the need to regret something you did and just weigh the pros and cons of the buy, before you decide on it instead?
Losing your temper at the drop of a pin goes directly counter to the idea of attractiveness. Flying into a rage is only cool in the movies, not in real life. Besides, and more importantly, losing your cool is stressful, and you don't need this stress. Find a way of keeping your emotions under control that works for you. Some meditate, others pray and others teach themselves to not overestimate the potentially negative outcomes of every situation, and yet many people find ways to release their anger in a safe way. See what works for you but keep your cool when you're in company. Cultivate inner peace and harmony every day.
Always be open to learning new stuff, regardless of the subject area. If you thought that once you're out of school and "real life" begins you can forget about learning, you were wrong. A lot of the time we learn new things without being aware of it but why confine ourselves to this unconscious learning only? Continual learning helps you keep your mind active, and your mind has a great influence over your body. Keep your mind young and you will keep your body young too.
Don't be afraid to experiment – within certain limits, of course, not endangering your life or the lives of others. Whether it's about combining colours that fashionistas say should not be combined, or about trying mountain climbing, if you've never before even seen a mountain up close, never miss on something that fascinates you, just because you've never done it before. Other people have and they will teach you. It's really invigorating and can do wonders for your self-esteem.
This one is the simplest or the hardest tips, depending on your personality. If you're shy and insecure it would be a really tough challenge to overcome. If you're a confident person, in all likelihood you already love yourself and you don't need this advice. For the rest, start believing people when they tell you that you look nice or you're smart. Learn to accept praise and accommodate it. You really do look nice and you really are smart! And stop striving for perfection. There will always be someone who will seem to be more attractive than you and someone smarter than you. But then, there will also be people whom you exceed in attractiveness and/or smartness. That's how life works, and the way to make the best of it is accepting these truths and being yourself, as hard as you can.

Coast Guard rescues fisherman in distress
By: KRIS 6 News
The U.S. Coast Guard rescued a 57-year-old man from a fishing boat, 26 miles south of Freeport Saturday night.
According to the Coast Guard, watchstanders in Houston received a request for a medevac from the boat's captain after a crewmember reportedly suffered seizure-like symptoms.
A Coast Guard helicopter and rescue boat were sent out to assist. The distressed crewmember was transferred to the rescue boat, and taken to the Coast Guard station in Freeport.
The Coast Guard says the man was then airlifted to the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, where he was last reported in stable condition.

The Development Team at ProPutt are proud to introduce the lightest, oversized Putter Grip on the market. Our innovative, inaugural product: the ProPutt ERGO. By developing known technology we can boast a broad spectrum of improvements.
At ProPutt we believe that our lightweight products will improve your putting. The correct putter swing-weight is all about the balance of the club. The swing-weight is an approximation of how head-heavy your putter feels during your stroke. Through increasing the swing weight, you add feel and accentuate the precision milled head of your putter.
The ERGO is unique. We can exclusively announce a 10% reduction in core weight vs comparable competitors, THE lightest grip on the market.
Our oversized grip helps to remove wrist twitches and lessens excess movement in the putting stroke. This enables a smoother follow through and thusly creates a consistent connection and roll. Further to this, our larger tapered grip helps to align the hips and the body to promote a pendulum swing that is dictated by the torso and upper body.
The study of ergonomics outlines the importance of the relationship between the operative and their environment. We have applied this theory to develop an innovative construct, adopting natural contours, enhancing your grip, comfort and control.
Putting is all about the balance and feel of the putter. The swing-weight is an approximation of how head heavy your putter feels during your stroke. Our super lightweight grip increases the swing weight, adding feel and accentuating the head of your putter.
ProTac Technology is the accumulation of our vast research. Our textured, tapered, polyurethane (PU) composite allows for a greatly enhanced grip. PU is a highly resilient and durable compound designed for endurance. Suitable for all weathers and incredibly cohesive; when it comes to re-gripping your putter, this is without doubt the best material on the market.

Doug Kerr is the owner and operator of The Alternative Board, serving Etobicoke and south/central Mississauga. As a general management executive, Doug has had experience in business and marketing strategy development, business development, operations management and sales in a variety of verticals. Industry experience includes retail distribution and manufacturing disciplines of cut and sewn textiles, turning, milling and stamping of metals, assembly, rubber molding and marine fiberglass applications. Doug's passion is helping organizations evolve and prosper by mentoring and coaching its employees. He received his MBA at McMaster University in 2005 and earned a BA in Economics from Queen's University.
I have been operating my business with my father for about 25 years. When he started to step away from the business into semi-retirement, a lot more responsibility dropped onto my shoulders. I had to make decisions on what direction to take the business and how to finance ultimately buying my father out. Between the private coaching sessions and advice from my TAB board, I have charted a course that I believe with be beneficial both for me and my father.
Like most business owners, I reached a point in mine where I needed help – and wasn't sure what that would look like. I've always wanted to be part of a peer group, but couldn't find one at a high enough level, or one that wasn't about networking.
Then I met Doug Kerr of TAB, and the idea of his peer advisory board intrigued me. But I'm skeptical by nature and didn't know what I would get for my time or money. So Doug offered me a Test Drive where I was able to sit in on a TAB meeting to see for myself. And let me tell you, I'm happy I took him up on that because I knew in the first few minutes that it was EXACTLY the kind of help I was looking for.
I originally expected a bunch of business owners sugaring coating tough solutions and treating each other with kid gloves, but I was so wrong. And that was perfect. As a business owner, I need solutions based on experience, not wishy-washy things to "try". But don't get me wrong, the gloves do come off, but it's done with the utmost respect and professionalism – in order to get to the heart of the issue.
As a small business owner in today's market it was refreshing to meet with others, who although their businesses weren't the same, struggled with many of the same issues with nowhere to turn. After meeting with my board and going through some of the exercises TAB offer I was able to stand back and really look at my business.
TAB is a valuable tool for any small business owner. The direction from you as a facilitator, the encouragement from members and the wealth of resources TAB offer make small business ownership a much more secure ride.

The Beatles' First Resort on Longboat Key
Miami Beach Hotel That Hosted the Beatles Is Demolished to Rebuild It as a Supermarket
Before the Beatles were even considered a contender in the music business, their manager, Brian Epstein, had visions of a new world concert venue in southern Florida. During the fifties, Florida was beginning to show signs of urban sprawl, with Florida Avenue being one of the main arteries of development. Epstein wanted Florida to be more than just a bedroom community and thought it was a place where the world's celebrities could perform for their American fans. As an idea, it seemed perfect.
The Beatles, however, had other ideas. Epstein was only interested in the business side of the entertainment industry. When Epstein heard about the new resort on Longboat Key in 1966, he realized he had stumbled upon a great opportunity.
"Before long, the Beatles were playing in Miami Beach," Epstein said, according to a story in The Sun Sentinel. "And then they moved to Miami."
It wasn't just that Epstein was on his way to a life-changing opportunity — Miami Beach was where he was from after all. It was also where the Beatles would play their first shows. And, while it didn't start out the way Epstein had hoped, the town grew to become home to the Beatles.
"This is the world's greatest opportunity," Epstein said, according to The Sun Sentinel. "I want to make the world a better place — to put more people in this world, and more people who will live better."
The resort Epstein wanted on Longboat Key was for sale, but Epstein had his eye on a bigger project. It was the largest hotel Epstein had ever had any interest in, and it would be a landmark in the world of entertainment. It would be a place where great artists like the Beatles could perform. It would be a place where the world's biggest musical bands could play to sell out audiences. Epstein, however, would make some changes along the way, and this was just the start.
Epstein and Miami Beach hotel manager Donald Bellamy saw a need for two hotels that would combine entertainment, dining, and retail. It was not an original idea

Is it tough to make good music?


Boluda, on the support of the Consell of the family company: "Next question"
There are times that the silences say even more than the words themselves. And the silence of Vicente Boluda may not be more insightful. The president of the Valencian Association of Entrepreneurs (AVE) avoided directly responding yesterday to the question of whether the Government of valencia supports the family business. To what extent are administrations mentalizadas of its importance? "Next question", he let go of Boluda to the director general of the Institute of Family Business, John Crown, in one of the debates organised on the occasion of the National Congress of the Family Business, which closed yesterday in Valencia.
The appointment was important, because by the Palace of Congresses not only have spent about 700 entrepreneurs came from all over Spain and organised by the Institute of Family Business (IEF) -among them, the valencian Juan Roig-, but also the president of the Government, Pedro Sanchez, Paul Married as the leader of the opposition, and the king Felipe VI for his inauguration.
Vicente Boluda reacted with a clear and emphatic 'pasapalabra' after the interventions of the president of the Association of the Family Business in Madrid, Alberto Zoilo, and the president of the Family Business of Castilla y León, César Pontvianne. While the latter praised the commitment and involvement of your regional Government to facilitate, for example, the entry of the entrepreneurs in the classroom, the spaniard also acknowledged the "sensitivity" of the Community of Madrid. When it was the turn of Boluda to assess the policy of the Administration of valencia in support of the family businesses, he chose to ignore your response and do not fall into the 'politically incorrect', which led to the laughter of the audience.
The message was clear: the entrepreneurs of valencia, with their president at the head, cast doubt on the policies of the Government of valencia to clear the way to family businesses. And that the head of the Consell, Ximo Puig, defended on Monday the family enterprise as "the great pillar of the economy valenciana".
Now, the challenges and obstacles that face today's these companies are not few, starting with the need to do away with the image that society has of its leaders as "characters of pure and top hat". So clear was expressed Pontvianne, who defended the necessity of bringing the figure of the entrepreneur to the students, with lectures in schools. "To overcome these prejudices and to convey that the entrepreneurs we are normal people that we risk our heritage."
"it will cost Us several generations to return to honor the figure of the entrepreneur," he stressed Pontvianne. Indeed, the very perception survey economic of the IEF concluded that the social perception of the entrepreneur is negative, or very negative for the 52% of the respondents. A reality, by the way, nourished by a certain political class that "you try that the image is not adequate," he said Pontvianne.
In the opinion of Boluda, in addition, another problem just by the little appeal it has for young people entrepreneurship: "With the Spanish culture, it is believed that the failure is clumsy and embarrassed, while in the united States is part of learning".

Review by lazyblazers
in terms of venue, harvey's in stateline was the polar opposite of the gorge. stuck in-between a few huge hotels in the middle of a gambling town, the stage set up basically in a parking lot that doubled as an "arena", the venue couldn't compare with the gorge in terms of visuals. of course, i had an amazing two days winding my way down the coast towards tahoe after the gorge shows, and had camped in the mountains west of stateline the night before the show, so i'm not really complaining. on top of that, the sound was pretty amazing, and i likely won't ever get another chance to see phish with only what must have been 6,000 or 7,000 people (even if most of those people seemed more interested in getting wasted and accidentally knocking me on my ass over and over again).
so. night one.
appropriately for tahoe, phish opened with party time. i like this tune a lot, and there was, as they say, a bit of extra mustard on the solo at the end. they didn't come roaring out of the gates, exactly, like they had at the gorge, but then the tahoe shows in general would go on to be more well-paced but less peak-y than the gorge shows. depends, i guess, on what you prefer in a phish show whether the gorge run or tahoe run was better.
rift is the song that got me listening to phish in the first place, but i cringed when it started up because, try as they might, the boys don't seem to be able to do it justice lately. this version, however, was…well, let's call it "well-played". it certainly didn't capture the energy of an early version, but it didn't derail the way a lot of recent versions have.
the next two songs were classics with a little extra tacked on to appreciate. the AC/DC bag ended with a neat little guitar loop that might well have been a mistake or a missed segue, but worked nonetheless. pyite saw the band extending the middle section: again, not taking it anywhere totally new, but little details like these peppered the first set of this show, spicing up what was otherwise a pretty straightforward list of songs. i was near the front during this set (though i guess we all were, relatively), and it looked a bit like there were some coherence problems; as in everyone seemed to want to jam these songs out a bit more, to go for a sort of "gorge part three" thing, but the coherence that had been there at the gorge was gone. it wasn't bad, or really obvious in the music, but there were a lot of junctures where transitions and segues seemed awkward.
meat helped with this a bit. i hadn't even remembered how much i liked this song until i heard it. with the excellent sound and the band nailing the complicated vocals, this is where things seemed like they were about to cohere, finally. then there was an uber-short, confusing and downright middle-of-the-road bowie. i suppose it's a testament to this band's skills that a song like this one, played like it was here, was disappointing, but it was. it was followed by bouncing and water in the sky: i described both as "nice" in my notes. the set closed with a bang in the form of 46 days. this is one that doesn't really hold up that well on tape in the sense that you don't get the experience of feeling how fucking loud it was and how much it riled the crowd up. it's an all-out treyfest and i remember thinking at the time that it made up for whatever weaknesses the first set might have had. on tape, however, the whole set seems consistently average, with the highlights being meat and 46 days.
coming back for the second set, i was happy to hear jibboo kick things off. i'm a real sucker for those old 10-15 minute long versions of jibboo and heavy things. however, unlike the 46 days rocker, trey didn't seem ready to compose any real interesting noodling here; instead, the song sort of chases itself around in a circle for a bit and then transitions into what is a honestly a really rough first few minutes of light. i love light as well, and i love this jam, but it was hard not to think of it as "gorge-lite". even after listening to both ambient jams a few times in a row, this one sounds to me like the boys were super excited after the awesome rock and roll gorge jam and wanted to try something like it again, and this time it just didn't click as well. this is a great jam, and it was easily one of the best moments of the tahoe run, but i also remember wondering at the time if the new ambient-space-rock phish was going to start pulling one of these space jams out every night, and hoping that they wouldn't (maybe once every three shows or so, guys?).
all that said, the segue to chalkdust was PERFECT. this chalkdust was everything that the gorge one wasn't (i.e., it was interesting). it was no brooklyn '04, of course, but still a great rocker out of the space-jam of light that didn't just default to trey-shredding over substance.
despite the small amount of shows i've actually seen, i've gotten a few slaves, and they've all been at least great, if not incredible. the gorge '09 slave was one of the highlights of that weekend for me, and this slave was much, much better. it featured a nice, patient build and great lighting work during a beautiful tahoe night. i was happy to see free, as i also love this song, and it was better-played than usual, but as many others have pointed out elsewhere, the guys just can't seem to nail the harmonies on this lately. with the vocals as up-front as they were at this show, the missed harmonies were cringe-worthy. but it was nice to see a second-set free.
rocket man seemed like a perfect page cover, but it sort of played out like they were learning it as they went. i'd like to hear this cover in the "ballad" slot again, but hopefully a little more solidly-played next time. page's voice was great.
i thought hood was going to end the second set, especially as it opened excellently and continued straight into a great, slave-like jam. it seemed like the perfect, epic-sounding closer, but then the band went into walls of the cave. this is another song that doesn't translate to tape. at the show, this walls was absolutely the loudest, fist-pumpingest bit of rock and roll i've ever jumped up and down to in all the concerts i've been to. really. on tape it might sound a bit flat, but it was an amazingly emphatic set closer. so good, in fact, that a pretty epic, rocking version of bug afterwards seemed like a bit of a letdown in comparison…
squirming coil, i've decided, is the perfect closer for the first night of a two night stand. it's not really climactic enough for a night two closer, but it gives off that perfect "we'll see you tomorrow" sort of feeling. phish also closed the blossom '10 show that i saw with this song (weirdly, i've seen 7 shows and only four different closers), but this version, as i was standing about 50 feet from page's piano at that point, blew that other one out of the water.
this show was more consistent than either gorge show, but that consistency was a bit mediocre. there were some second-set heroics and enough of the high moments translated well enough when i was there in person that i went away thinking at the time that this show easily *bested* either gorge show (adrenaline, i guess), and i suppose it's still better than most of '11 leg one, but it's not my favorite of the four shows that i saw. in fact, it's probably in fourth place.


In 2015, Vacasa wanted to adopt new marketing strategies to improve occupancy rates and differentiate its brand online. It decided to invest in innovative and scalable technologies (s.a. Matterport) to increase online visibility and improve consumer experience on website and partner channels.
Vacasa also wanted to provide sales and support teams with better tools to improve quality of guest experience, win more hosts, and grow inventory. They decided to implement Matterport across their listings and highlight 3D Showcase as an integral component of the Vacasa experience.
Because guests are fully immersed in the Matterport experience and have the ability to freely navigate the space, owners are incentivized to make improvements to better showcase their properties. Vacasa rewards property owners who make improvements by displaying renovated homes more prominently on their website, creating a constant stream of quality assurance.

Corporate Canada pays low taxes but contributes in 'lots of other ways'
Corporate Canada is often derided for not paying its fair share in taxes, but one of its top advocates argues that the corporate income tax rate doesn't give a full picture of how Canadian businesses contribute.
Canada's corporate tax rate has been repeatedly cut for more than a decade
John Chipman · CBC News · Posted: Apr 26, 2014 5:00 AM ET | Last Updated: April 27, 2014

Corporate tax avoidance 'scheme' hurting Canada, expert says

"Corporate Canada pays governments in lots of other ways. They pay different levels of governments, they pay property taxes and they pay a variety of fees and charges that in many cases actually exceeds what they pay in corporate income tax," said John Manley, head of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, in a feature interview with Michael Enright on The Sunday Edition.
Canada's corporate tax rate has been repeatedly cut for more than a decade, and now sits at roughly 25 per cent when combined with provincial tax rates. Activists complain many of the country's largest firms don't pay anywhere near that rate.
The left-leaning advocacy group Canadians for Tax Fairness said they did an analysis of the top 60 companies listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, and found only four companies paid the full corporate rate. More than half paid less than 10 per cent, and 13 firms paid less than five per cent.
PricewaterhouseCoopers did its own analysis — a survey of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives' roughly 150 members. It was voluntary and only 63 replied. But of those who did, the survey found their businesses paid a total of $19 billion in corporate taxes, plus another $5 billion in various other charges and fees to various levels of government.
"For that small a number of companies, that's about 17 per cent of total federal corporate income tax revenue, so it's a pretty big number," said Manley.
"When you look at the overall numbers ... the amount of corporate income tax coming in to government has, except for the recession years, remained pretty steady."
Trying not to discourage investment
In 2012, the share of federal revenues from corporate taxes was about 13 per cent, while the share from personal income taxes was 49 per cent.
Mr. Manley said striking the right balance is tricky, because relying on people for tax revenues is safer for governments than relying on corporations.
"That's a judgment that every jurisdiction has to make: What's the right level that doesn't discourage investment?" he said. "Investment is clearly more mobile than individuals are."
Corporate tax avoidance strategies have become more prevalent in Canada. In 2011, almost a quarter of Canadian investment abroad wasn't investment at all. Rather, it was money transferred out of Canada to tax havens.
Tax havens explained: How the rich hide money
How Canada's banks help move money in and out of tax havens
For example, in 2011, Canadian businesses invested $53.3 billion in Barbados, third only to the United States and the United Kingdom. By some estimates, the Canadian government is losing $80 billion a year in tax revenue due to this kind of profit-shifting.
"It's not right," Mr. Manley said. "But figuring out how to fix it without unintended consequences requires really smart people, and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has been working at this for a very long time."
Mr. Manley said the Canadian Council for Chief Executives supports the OECD's efforts, but until the Canadian tax code changes, businesses have every right to take advantage of what the code allows.
"There is no one in Canada who wouldn't avoid paying a tax if there is a legal way to do it," he said. "It doesn't mean it's wrong to minimize your tax. It just means that governments have to get rules in place and make sure everyone is playing by them."
The problem of 'transfer pricing'
Mr. Manley said he believes one of the government's priorities is investigating a corporate tax-avoidance strategy called transfer pricing. This is when a multinational company sells its goods or services to itself internally, between subsidiaries in different countries. It usually involves selling from a branch in a higher-tax country to a branch in a low- or no-tax country to lessen the company's tax payout.
"In my experience, it's one of the things the Canada Revenue Agency examines the most closely. And tax advisers generally tell companies that you have to be really careful about this, because you have to be able to justify what you charge. "
Mr. Manley said that tackling tax reform has always been a challenge for governments. He said when he was finance minister, business leaders would often complain about the corporate tax rate.
"One of the things I would say to them is, if you want really low taxes, try Nigeria. There's no security, there's no infrastructure, the telephone systems don't work, but the taxes are pretty low.
"There's an old saying: 'Don't tax you, don't tax me, tax the guy behind the tree.' Nobody likes to pay. Unfortunately, governments need the money."
Mr. Manley said he recognizes that corporate Canada may have a perception problem over paying its fair share of taxes, and the stakes are quite high.
He says that it shouldn't be perceived as a "general unfairness," because that could lead to "a breakdown in social cohesion."
"We've got a great country. None of us go around with bodyguards and people live pretty well together. But that reality can be fragile. We've seen it break down in other countries. So a sense that everyone is contributing is important to that."
