Posted on February 25, 2021 by mikeadmin
Quintin James
Quintin began his career at the age of 15 dancing in a charity performance for The Cancer Council and hasn't looked back since then. Working in theme parks, cruise ships, musical theatre (A Chorus Line, West Side Story), tours(Kylie Minogue, Human Nature, Bardot, Scandalous), TV, and fashion he has cemented his place in both the creative arts as a performer, choreographer, and director as well being involved in the production of creative works and fashion shows both nationally and internationally.
Working closely with modeling agencies, fashion houses, and models for more than 20 years has given Quintin an insight into not only understanding the inner workings of the industry but also what it takes to make it in an ever-growing and competitive market. Whether it be choreographing a fashion parade, directing models, pageant contestants, or working as a runway model coach, Quintin's creative and unique perspective is what has made him a sought-after professional in high demand.
As a well-known and respected Confidence Coach. Quintin works on building a greater sense of natural confidence with his clients, no matter where they are in their confidence journey. GEQ magazine recently sat down with Quintin and here's what went down:
1. How did you get into the pageant industry?
I got into the pageantry industry by being asked to judge then asked to run workshops for the contestants on walking, posing, and poise as well as overall performance coaching.
2. What do you like most about being a pageant coach?
What I like most about being a pageant coach is that I get to contribute to the overall success of the person not just in the pageant system but in life as they take the skills I teach into everything that they do.
3. Downside to being a pageant coach?
I personally don't think there is a downside to being a pageant coach. My goal is to focus on the person I am working with and what their individual goal is. I don't worry about anything else except improving my client.
4. What has been the most memorable experience of being in the pageant industry so far?
I like all areas of the pageant industry, whether I am judging or coaching it is great to mentor and be an educator for those wanting to get ahead in their chosen field both on and off the catwalk. Memorable moments for me are all the time because I consistently see change and development and to me that's great.
5. Who have been the most interesting people you've met so far?
Overall working with Kylie Minogue and Baz Luhrmann would have to be the most interesting people I have met in a work environment. In saying that I have worked with many talented famous and not-so-famous people that impress and interest me.
6. What has been the most valuable lesson you've learned while in the pageant industry. This can be about the industry or about yourself.
The most valuable lesson I have learned in the pageantry industry is to be honest and true. Be memorable and be kind.
7. What is the best advice you have ever been given?
My most valuable lesson is to always be true to yourself and embrace yourself as uniqueness is the best quality. Also to listen and absorb what people are teaching you.
8. What are your future plans? Inside your career or out of it.
My future plans are to work as a Confidence and Performance Coach as well as to continue my work as a Runway model coach and Fashion Choreographer. I am currently writing a book and look forward to the opportunity to help many people around the world.
The 'LIGHTNING FAST' Round:
1. Last good movie I've seen: Sicario
2. What do you consider beautiful and why? Beauty is embarrassing yourself and being kind to others.
3. What haven't you done yet that you wish you could? I want to appear on Ellen.
4. Complete this sentence: "If I had no fear, I'd…" swim with sharks.
5. What is the one "flaw" you wouldn't change about yourself? I am a perfectionist, even though I know perfection doesn't exist I put high expectations on myself and always strive for perfection. That can create extra stress on me.
Jojo Almazora Sebastian
Jojo Almazora Sebastian is a devoted and compassionate nurse in the Operating Theatre at a busy Metropolitan Hospital in Sydney. However, on weekends, this orthopaedic nurse transforms into a charming and dashing tuxedo attired singer-entertainer and master of ceremony. A veteran of the United States Military Forces, he could be seen regularly in concerts where he performs as a front act for artists both locally and internationally. He is the main staple in the Local and International Pageant in the last 17 years.
Jojo was named the Australian Best Pageant Host in the Australian Golden Sash Awards for both 2019 and 2020. At the beginning of 2020, he was named as the Most Influential Person of the Year and Musician of the Year in Ava's World Magazine Awards. In the same year, this former University Professor participated in Sydney Sings for Hope Concert for the benefit of the front liners for the Bush Fire that happened in NSW. He also lent his voice in the Heroes of the World Album recording the song "Walang Mahirap sa Buhay" written and arranged by Oliver Gadista.
In July 2020, this former disc jockey of Brother Joe and Pinoy Love Crew represented Australia in the First Virtual Edition of the World Championship of Performing Arts (WCOPA 2020). Furthermore, he will be representing Australia once again in the 25th Year of the World Championship of Performing Arts to be held in California USA in July 2021.
Recently, Jojo was nominated and awarded in the Inaugural Sydney's Best Dressed due to his good dressing sense and confident personality. Moreover, he released his debut Christmas Album entitled: "Christmas Ain't Christmas Without You" released 30th October 2020. Furthermore, he has received a nomination for the Manila's Best Dressed for 2020-2021 to represent Australia in the prestigious Annual Event.
In 2021, Jojo aspires to broaden his horizon as an individual and concentrate on his advocacies he has been helping in the past 10 years. His advocacies include the following: (1) children and (2) Volunteerism. For the Children, he continues to support the various charitable institution and fundraised for Sydney Children's Hospital and Cerebral Palsy Foundation. He also provides scholarships for the less fortunate in the Philippines to continue a college education.
One of the projects he really wanted to concentrate on in 2021 is Community Service by Volunteerism. Volunteering is generally considered an altruistic activity where an individual or group provides services for no financial gain. Volunteering is often intended to promote goodness or to improve human quality of life. Volunteering may have positive benefits for the volunteer as well as for the person or community served. Jojo highly believes that if our community comes together and volunteer even for just a couple of hours a month under any charitable institution and non-profit organisation – it will make a positive difference in the personal and professional aspects of all individuals involved, especially oneself. He furthers state that he would like for the community to realise to volunteer is a social responsibility of all its member especially to the marginalised and disadvantaged.
Consequently, Jojo was just also declared a finalist in the Mister Diamond International Australia 2021 which will be held in April 2021. GEQ magazine recently caught up with Jojo and here's what went down:
1. How did you get into the pageant industry? How were you actually 'discovered'?
Pageantry is something innate in my family. I have numerous aunts, as well as both male and female cousins who are very active in pageantry back in the Philippines and Hawaii. I found myself interlaced with pageantry at the very young age of 7. Where I represented the country – USA in the Mr and Miss United Nations held at my primary school – South City Homes Academy, Binan, Laguna Philippines. I remember being crowned Mr. United Nations. That paved the way for me to be interested in pageantry. However, I actually just realised what impact pageantry had on me, in high school. Most of my classmates who joined pageantry approaches me and asks me to help them out with their talent. Normally it would be an interpretative dance or a national ethnic dance. An experience I can never forget was when a Filipino-Indian classmate approached me to teach her a Bollywood Dance. This was in 1994. I took the challenge and we won best in talent! That is how I got into pageantry.
In regards to discovery, I was discovered in male pageantry in college. When I joined Mr. Engineering 1996 at the University of Perpetual Help in Laguna. I represented the sophomore year. It was a very unforgettable experience because not only did I win 4 minor awards, I also placed 1st Runner Up at the coronation night. That experience got me started in pageants. And 20 years later, I am once again throwing my hat in pageantry – when I represent NSW and Australia in the Mr. Diamond International 2021 to be held in Brisbane this coming April 2021.
2. What do you like most about being a King/Finalist?
Besides the experience and the comradery, what I like the most whilst joining pageants are conceptualizing projects and undertakings that assist charitable institutions that I personally handpicked to support, fundraise, and contribute to during the pageant. The reason I like this the most is that I am able to use the platform that the pageant provides me to make a difference. The difference made is the most important thing to me because it could promote and assist change that I would like to see in the community.
3. Downside to being a King/Finalist?
For me, there are more advantages in participating in Pageantry than disadvantages.
One of the disadvantages is that pageants could be very expensive. However, one must be smart about this. I normally tend to go back to belongings. For example, Clothes to wear during any segment of the competition. I tend to get excited to be creative, imaginative, and resourceful with what I use which mainly comes from what I owned.
Another downside of being the Finalist in a pageant is the stigma of being self-absorbed and self-privileged. From my experience, this is normally the opposite. People in pageantry are very humble, charitable, and social.
Honestly, the most memorable experience for me in pageantry is the friendship I have made so far. I have met the most incredible and empowering individuals in Australian Pageantry. This has motivated and inspired me to be a better person not just for myself but mostly for my community. Another memorable experience for me is, winning the Australian Golden Sash Awards – Best Pageant Host in 2019 and 2020 and the Most Promising Pageant King of 2020. These awards encouraged and stimulated me to be better.
There are so many interesting and noteworthy individuals I have met in Pageantry in general. However, three of the individuals who had made a great impression on me are (1) Mary Rose Salubre – CEO of Australasia Official – empowerment and generosity, (2) Mark Baylon – Managing Director of Miss Earth Australia – compassion, never-say-die attitude, and creativity; and (3) Sue Turner of GEQ Magazine – Kindness and Love of Others. Amongst the so many individuals who shine luminously and dazzlingly in Australian Pageantry, these three individuals made a huge impact with me. I believe set the golden standard of empowering the various individual in the community in their very own beautiful way.
One of the most valuable lessons I have learned in pageantry is to always be helpful to one another because we aim to reach the same goal. And if we help each other it is likely that we will achieve the mission and vision we set forth.
7. Working in an industry whose only emphasis is on the outside characteristics of a person, how have you stayed grounded?
I stayed grounded by reminding myself of my personal mission. However, this will not be possible without the help and support of my family – Josephine Sebastian (mom) and the whole of my family, partner, friends, and community. I dedicate and share my accomplishments with them.
8. Is your family supportive of you being in the pageant industry.
YES! They are my primary support and encouragement in all that I do. They never fail to make me feel that I have made a difference every day.
9.What are your future plans? Inside pageantry or out of it.
I would love to continue to support the charitable institutions that I have been supporting for years – Salvation Army, Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation, Cerebral Palsy Foundation, and Philippine and Australian Red Cross.
I also would like to continue to fund high school students and send them to University in the Philippines.
Finally, I would like to continue to fundraise for abused children.
1. Last good movie I've seen: FRIENDS on Netflix
2. What do you consider beautiful and why? My mom – Josephine Sebastian. She gave me life and she is my life.
3. What haven't you done yet that you wish you could? Become a foster parent.
4. Complete this sentence: "If I had no fear, I would…" not be able to challenge myself to do things that I would not dream of doing like pageantry…
5. What is the one "flaw" you wouldn't change about yourself? Being a worrywart, because my partner mentioned how loving and affectionate I could be.

Twice the Pleasure Bisexual Women's Erotica
Edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel
For Rachel Kramer Bussel, bisexuality is not about keeping your options open: instead, it's about looking at the world and seeing a lot more sexy out there. This big book of bi explores every option: There are girlfriends and wives, husbands and boyfriends, first dates, threesomes and much more here. There's daring and adventure, women taking risks by stepping outside their comfort zones, whether it's by surrendering to a bodyguard in "The State" by Tahira Iqbal or confronting "The Wife" of a male lover in Kay Jaybee's story, only to be confronted right back. The women you'll read about are attracted to strong women like "The Robber Girl" in Lori Selke's story, and men who surprise them with their sensitivity, such as in Bussel's own story, "A Little Fun."

One of the glass cylinders broke. I was wondering if I could get a replacement on just the glass cylinder?
Can the fixture be mounted downward if a g9 led lightbulb is used (instead of a halogen bulb)??
No, this light should be upward installed.
This sconce features stainess steel bar looks modern and fashion. The double shades create stunning accent of this fixture. Clear glass outer shade with creamy inner glass shade which can be removed efficiently offers different installtion ways.


A chance posting on Facebook last fall, however, brought Heather the first breath of hope she had felt in years. In Ohio, there was an experimental five-day intensive program to help adults with anorexia. What made this one different was that it used the latest neurobiology research to mould its goals as well as how its treatment was delivered. And since research confirms that most patients struggle to make changes to their entrenched behaviors on their own, patients also had to invite up to four support people to join them on the residential program. Heather asked her father and her sister, and began raising the funds to fly them all to Ohio.
Despite its reputation as a quintessentially modern disorder, anorexia is nothing new. Historians believe that many of the 'fasting saints' of the Middle Ages had anorexia. The first medical report of the illness appeared in 1689, written by London physician Richard Morton, who described it as "a Nervous Consumption" caused by "Sadness and anxious Cares".
Rates of anorexia had been steadily climbing since the 1950s, but it wasn't until the death of singer Karen Carpenter in 1983 that the disorder became a household word. She died from heart failure due to anorexia nervosa, and all of a sudden newspaper stories and after-school TV specials began to feature teenage girls "dying to be thin". Besides highlighting the spectacle of a healthy, attractive young girl's determination to starve herself, the storylines usually focused on the family dysfunction that psychologists believed lay at the heart of the disorder. Parents were told not to be the food police, that anorexia was a misguided search for control. Only when they let their child be fully in control of their own life would the anorexia resolve.
Psychiatrist Walter Kaye wasn't convinced. Despite not having done research into eating disorders before, he had been asked to help finish an anorexia study for the US National Institutes of Health in the early 1980s. While talking with the participants, he noticed something unusual.
"I was just kind of struck by how homogenous the symptoms were," he says. Because the patients seemed so similar in terms of symptoms and temperament, he believed there had to be something in their biology that was causing anorexia—and he dedicated himself to finding out what it was.
Hill began to keep a file full of notes about what she thought was causing anorexia, what her patients believed, what seemed to work and what didn't. After a few years, she entered a PhD program to better help her patients. But even with several research articles to her name and, ultimately, decades working at the forefront of treating and researching eating disorders, she realized that the treatment advances weren't reaching adults with anorexia. She wasn't the only one. Across the field, psychologists, psychiatrists and dietitians have noted that treatment outcomes for adults with anorexia remain abysmally low. Less than half recover fully, another third show some improvement, but the rest remain chronically ill.
For adolescents with anorexia, a ground-breaking treatment developed at the Maudsley Hospital in London in the 1980s called family-based treatment (FBT) has significantly improved short-term recovery outcomes. It puts parents temporarily in charge of making food and exercise decisions for their child and places a priority on normalizing weight and eating habits. In a randomized clinical trial published in 2010, around half of teens treated with FBT met criteria for full recovery after a year, compared to 23 per cent of teens receiving standard treatment.
As well, many people with anorexia don't grasp that they are, in fact, sick. While parents generally sign their children into treatment, that power vanishes when the child turns 18. Adult patients can also stop treatment if it gets too difficult—and it often does, because challenging the behaviors associated with eating disorders can create tidal waves of anxiety. A long-term, chronic eating disorder often ends up alienating friends and family, the very people who tend to push their ill loved one into treatment and support them through the recovery process.
"As opposed to having people step in for an hour and talk about what happened over the week, we're actually seeing what happens live, in vivo. That gives us the possibility to intervene in vivo, as opposed to coaching people on what they should do 'when circumstances come up'," says Knatz.
In 2013, Hill, Knatz and Kaye applied for a grant from the US National Eating Disorders Association to fund a pilot study of what they called Neurobiologically Enhanced With Family/Friends Eating Disorder Trait Response (NEW FED TR). Every aspect of the program was based on what researchers understood about what happens in the brain of someone with anorexia, the goal being not just to improve treatment but also to reduce blame and guilt among sufferers and families. To that end, NEW FED TR would involve care givers and loved ones as an integral part of treatment, creating a team that could work to fight the eating disorder together. Responsibility for recovery would remain firmly in each client's hands, but some aspects of recovery that tend to be sticking points for adults with anorexia could be outsourced to their support people as needed.
On an unusually mild Monday morning in December 2015, Heather Purdin was fiddling with the ponytail securing her dark brown hair, just as she always does when she's nervous. It was a short drive from the hotel, across the freeway interchange to the back of a wooded business park. Her body mass index (BMI) was very low now—all muscle and softness stripped from her body, leaving only sinew and bone. A baggy shirt and scarf couldn't conceal how ill she was. But she was not on her way to a hospital or a hospice. Flanked by her father, sister and best friend, she entered the Center for Balanced Living to take her place on the successfully funded pilot of the NEW FED TR program. And despite all her fears, a giant grin lit up her face.
It looks like any other kitchen. Long, grey countertops line one wall and an island; there's a large stove, a sink and a fridge. Beau Barley, a tall, thin 20-year-old with bleached blond hair and a two-day-old beard, is cooking an omelette for breakfast while his parents prepare their own meals. It could be breakfast at any home in America, except that Beau is at the Center for Balanced Living, on his second day of the NEW FED TR program.
"Okay, clients, check in with your supports to make sure you've got enough to eat," calls the program's dietitian, Sonja Stotz. She listens in as Beau shows his meal of eggs, toast, butter, milk and fruit to his parents.
From there, Beau became more and more obsessed with eating 'healthy' and returning to running. At first, his weight was stable. But as his running obsession returned, his metabolism kicked in. Always somewhat slender, his weight plummeted. In the summer before he started university, he went through his first formal treatment program at the Center for Balanced Living, attending group therapy during the day, eating his meals at the centre and returning home every night. Things started to look up, but Beau relapsed during his first year at university. Over the past summer and fall, he has tried to make progress against his eating disorder, but the exercise compulsion is cemented in place. When his mother called the centre to see if he could return, they recommended NEW FED TR. Beau eagerly signed up and now here he is, showing his parents what he has cooked for himself this morning.
For most people, being in a negative energy balance is profoundly uncomfortable. That's why dieting often makes people impulsive and cranky, 'hangry' even. But those with a predisposition for anorexia have a completely different experience. Starvation makes them feel better.
Heather Purdin and her team see this first-hand as Hill asks the different groups of clients and supports to use yarn, taken from Hill's massive collection of weaving supplies, to wind the client's hands into place. Heather's team rapidly pin her hands and arms in front of her face. This, Hill says, is the anorexia in action. Heather is now as stuck physically as she is mentally. Getting her functioning again means weaving her supports into her mental 'loom'. Here is where the team struggle, especially when Hill asks Heather what she is going to do differently. In sheer frustration, she slams her knotted hands onto the table in front of her.
For too long, says Hill, eating disorder professionals have been focusing on these traits as weaknesses when that's not true. To succeed at scientific research, for instance, obsessionality and attention to detail is almost a must. Since people with anorexia use rules and routines to 'succeed' at their eating disorder, they can also learn to use them to succeed at recovery. It sounds like a small shift, but for anorexia sufferers like Heather and Beau, it makes all the difference in the world.
So when it's time to role-play the 'anorexia brain' considering whether or not to take a bite of banana, those people playing brain regions responsible for reward (the feeling of 'yum!' when you eat a piece of chocolate cake) are quiet, while the brain areas responsible for worry kick into overdrive. The result is that no one in the room can hear the small, quiet part of the brain telling the person with anorexia it is okay to eat the banana.
Hill plays an audio recording of one of her former patients re-enacting the anorexic thoughts that tormented her while she ate—it is an endless stream of "I can't eat this. I'm going to get fat. I'm ugly. I'm disgusting. I'm weak. I hate myself. I can't do this. I'm so pathetic, just pathetic, a weak pig." It goes on for more than ten minutes.
Parents, many of whom had walked into the program frustrated and angry at their child's seeming refusal to eat, hear the recording and the sheer amount of 'noise' that their children endure and their anger dissipates.

Art students explore old roots, new beginnings for bicentennial art project
As Athens embarks on its 200th birthday in 2018, local artists have examined ways to express the theme "Old Roots, New Beginnings" for a quarterly art contest that high school students conduct.
The Athens Mayor's Youth Commission oversees the Share the Art Contest, which includes developing themes, deciding which artwork will be on display at Athens City Hall and choosing a grand prizewinner. The Youth Commission utilizes funds from Dekko Foundation to create the Share the Art Contest.
The students have chosen themes such as favorite iconic places and events in Athens and incorporating words associated with New Year's into art submissions. Since Athens joined Limestone County and the State of Alabama in the three-year bicentennial celebration, the students chose a history-related theme of "Old Roots, New Beginnings" for display from April through July. The Youth Commission told art students the focus is on the story of Judge James Horton and the Scottsboro Boys Case, and art submissions that included references to the story would score highest.
Horton's home once was the site of City Hall. He oversaw the retrial of Scottsboro Boys defendant Haywood Patterson, one of a group of black boys falsely accused of rape by two white women in the 1930s. He received threatening letters and letters of support during the trial. Horton valued justice more than his political career and on June 22, 1933, and set aside the jury's guilty verdict and death sentence of Mr. Patterson. He lost his re-election bid to the bench in 1934 and retired from politics. The Horton family moved the Maclin-Hobbs-Horton home from Athens to Greenbrier in 1939 and gifted the City of Athens the land at the corner of Hobbs and Marion streets for public use. Horton lived by a phrase often repeated in his family, "Let justice be done though the heavens may fall."
In addition, a group of citizens created the Judge Horton Monument Committee to raise awareness about the significance of Horton's actions, and to raise funds to commission a bronze statue of Horton for the Courthouse entrance on Jefferson Street. A sculptor is working on the statue.
"The Youth Commission learned the story of Judge Horton and encouraged the art students to learn the story in order to be inspired to create artwork to reflect that history," Youth Commission mentor Holly Hollman said.
The grand prizewinner is Allison Lovell of Athens High, who created a rendering of the Limestone County Courthouse where Horton overturned the verdict. Lovell included a tree showing its deep roots. Lovell will receive $15 from the Youth Commission.
The other art students whose artwork is on display at City Hall are:
• Breann Shelton, Athens High, Courthouse
• Kolton Romine, Athens High, Courthouse during fire
• Wyesha Bolding, Athens High, collage of Courthouse and icons
• John Hooker, Athens High, map with Judge Horton, and Courthouse
• Hayley Malone, Athens High, hands interlocking over Scottsboro Boys headlines
• Ashlee Roberts, Athens High, Judge Horton's home
• Rachael Autrey, Athens High, tree with roots and Horton family's motto "Let justice be done though the heavens fall; and the lard bucket Horton's family kept trial correspondence in.
• Chastity Shores, Athens High, tree with roots
The public can view the Art Corner during City Hall hours from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

KALB Celebrates 40th Anniversary
Keep Athens-Limestone Beautiful is planning a special 40th anniversary celebration at Earth Day & Outdoor EXPO!
Athens-Limestone Clean Community, Inc. became an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful (KAB) on April 15, 1977. The organization's name was changed to Keep Athens-Limestone Beautiful (KALB) in 2002 to reflect affiliation with the KAB national organization. The organization was born out of the Clean Community System developed by KAB, and it's focus was litter abatement and education.
Later in 1977, KALB took over a recycling program started by an Athens High School science club. The program grew and the club could no longer manage it. Since that time, the Athens-Limestone Recycling Center, a dvision of KALB, has grown to process over 4 million pounds of materials each year.
Soon after, the Athens-Limestone Beautification Board was added to the KALB family. This board has focused on green space and doing their part to add touches of beauty to the community. They also encourage businesses and individuals to add warm and welcoming landscapes to their properties.
On Saturday, April 29th, KALB will celebrate this milestone at their Earth Day & Outdoor EXPO to be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the grounds of Friendship Church in Athens. At 1:00 p.m., KALB will share a bit of history and then surprise their mascot, Sparky, with a birthday party. Nestle cookies will be given out and children will be invited to frost their cookies at the Nestle Tollhouse Café booth.
Children will, again this year, be given a "Passport" to have stamped at the 17 Education Stations throughout the event. When at least 10 stamps have been collected, the passport may be turned in for a gift.
The Earth Day & Outdoor EXPO is free to the public and offers something for everyone. Games, hands-on activities, craft-making, and live animals will keep the children busy. There will also be lots of organizations with information on outdoor activities and vendors with crafts and personal care items for sale. The Master Gardeners will answer gardening questions and the Athens-Limestone Beautification Board will share plant cuttings while they last.

Historical Cemetery Stroll
Industrial and Political Titans Return to Athens April 23rd
Men and women of Limestone County's past who shaped the political and industrial scene will stand among the headstone of Athens City Cemetery on April 23rd to recount the stories that shaped not only Alabama but the United States and perhaps, even the world.
These are just a few of the re-awakened spirits that will be joining the living on the earthly plane from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.:
Luke Pryor, portrayed by Dr. Robert Glenn, shaped the railroad that pierced the heart of Alabama. He'll share with you tales of his life and even how he could stop a train at his desire.
Clarissa Sloss, portrayed by Karen Middleton, was the mother of James Sloss with tales of the man credited with "building Birmingham", creating the famed Sloss Furnace, and being one of Alabama's most important industrialists.
George S. Houston, portrayed by Jimmy Hill, stood against Alabama's secession and then had to be the very architect of its withdrawal from the Union while a U.S. Legislator. He'll share his tale of torn allegiances and defeating corruption as Alabama Governor.
W.P. Tanner, portrayed by Doug Logan, was the son of the first Mayor of Athens and eventually won the office for himself. He held pro-Union sentiment until one incident of the Civil War changed his mind.
Judge Horton, Sr., portrayed by Shane Black, was the father of Judge James Horton Jr. who sat in judgment of the "Scottsboro Boys' re-trial. He'll share the family history and tales of his famed son.
Each actor has painstakingly made efforts to research their "spirit" and may even entertain a question or two from the public about life in the "olden days". This public and free event is sure to entertain history buffs, enjoyers of theatre, and lovers of storytelling.
The Athens Cemetery Stroll is a bicentennial event celebrating 200 years of Alabama and Limestone County history, lore, people and heritage. Over the next three years – 2017-2019 – the State of Alabama, Limestone County, Mooresville, Athens as well as all of our communities will mark their anniversaries of incorporation, moments in history and citizens' contributions. In 2017, communities celebrate places. In 2018, communities honor their people. In 2019, communities celebrate the stories.
The event is presented by the Athens-Limestone County Tourism, Order of the Confederate Rose and Sons of the Confederate Veterans. Historical prints of the Athens-Limestone County Tourism Association depicting moments in history, Battle of Athens; Battle of Sulphur Creek Trestle; Fort Hampton; Hobbs Farewell; and the picturesque Richard Martin Rails to Trails will be under the Order of the Confederate Rose refreshment tent during the daylong event for purchase. Soft Dulcimer music will waif through the air as the Athens Dulcimers strum a variety of songs to add to the antiquity of the day.

Fishing for a cure
City Relay for Life Team
raises $9,060 at annual event
"I'm a cancer survivor. I'm a breast cancer survivor. Men get that, too," one fisherman remarked at the sixth annual City of Athens Relay for Life Bass Fishing Tournament held Saturday, April 8 at Ingalls Harbor in Decatur.
According to the American Cancer Society, male breast cancer is rare, accounting for approximately 1 percent of breast cancer cases in the U.S. However, due to the infrequency of male breast cancer, much less is known about the disease, and men are more likely than women to be diagnosed with advanced-stage breast cancer.
"Each year at this tournament, our team is reminded of why we continue to fight cancer," said City of Athens Relay for Life Captain Holly Hollman. "One year when it was held on Mother's Day weekend, a mother who bragged about her son and grandson fishing in our tournament because of breast cancer in the family."
In addition, the late Al Dutton with Limestone Lunkers, a local fishing club, helped start the tournament and died from cancer the weekend of the second annual event.
"And just recently, one of our team members was diagnosed with breast cancer, and she started her chemo treatments a couple of days before the tournament," Hollman said. "She loves volunteering at the tournament but could not be with us physically this year. She was definitely with us in spirit."
The tournament raised the most to date for Relay for Life, netting $9,060. That is made possible through sponsorships.
This year's top team was Gary Thacker and Winston Jackson, who caught 22.05 pounds of bass. The duo also had the biggest fish weighing 5.51 pounds. They won $1,500 for first place and $530 from the big fish pot.
CALHOUN'S BASS FISHING TEAM
CALHOUN'S BASS FISHING TEAM NATIONALLY RANKED ON
CABELA'S SCHOOL OF THE YEAR LISTING
The Calhoun Community College Bass Fishing team ranked number eight in the country by The Association of Collegiate Anglers (ACA). The ACA manages the multifaceted Cabela's School of the Year, which is presented annually by the Abu Garcia program.
The program is designed to reward and recognize Collegiate teams that compete on the water in numerous national level trails such as the ACA Cabela's Collegiate Bass Fishing Series, as well as select national College B.A.S.S. and FLW events in order to truly crown a school of the year champion based on performance.
Calhoun's Bass Fishing Team recently competed against 80 two- year college and four-year University teams at the Cabela's Collegiate Bass Fishing Open on March 17-18 at Lake Dardanelle in Russellville, Arkansas. Calhoun student Mitchell Gowin was the winner of the "big bass" of day 2 with a 6.5 lb. catch.
"To say I am proud of our bass fishing team is an understatement", commented Meg Graham, Bass Fishing Team sponsor. "The enormous amount of support from the college and our community has been extremely motivational for the team and encourages them to push harder", stated Graham."
Calhoun's bass fishing team member Meagan Thompson also won the Calhoun team derby on Saturday, April 1, at Wilson Lake in Florence, AL. She also won big fish with a 5.01 lb. bass.

Cemetery Stroll
Harken the Calls of History April 23rd at Athens Cemetery Stroll
If you crest the hill of Athens City Cemetery on April 23rd you'll step into a world of wonder as the spirits come alive with tales of history, heritage, family and community. Nearly 40 actors in period dress, many of them descendants of the very people they are portraying, will either stand beside "their" headstones or wander between the headstones as visiting spirits of people not buried there that have contributed to Limestone's history, heritage and culture.
The day's storytelling and history begins at 2:00 p.m. with tales woven from family history and speckled with tales of the community, work, Civil War and more. Each actor has painstakingly made efforts to research their "spirit" and may even entertain a question or two from the public about life in the "olden days". This public and free event will run until 5:00 p.m.
The Athens Cemetery Stroll is a bicentennial event celebrating 200 years of Alabama and Limestone County. Over the next three years – 2017-2019 – the State of Alabama, Limestone County, Mooresville, Athens as well as all of our communities will mark their anniversaries of incorporation, moments in history and citizens' contributions. In 2017, we celebrate our places. In 2018, we honor our people. In 2019, we share our stories. The Athens Cemetery Stroll does all of these simultaneously – and will each year as part of the bicentennial activities.
Many locally, well-known faces will be partaking in the storytelling during the day's event including Billy Ward, Dr. Robert Glenn, Karen Middleton, Rebekah Davis, Deborah Kohlase, Glenn Hall, Peggy Allen Towns, Frank Travis and many more. Citizens throughout north Alabama have answered the call to bring Limestone County's history to life.
April Fool's Day Launched Saturday Walks
The weather may have been fooling us all week - alternating between blustery Spring, smoldering Summer and bristly Fall chills but Athens and Mooresville pulled out the stops on April Fool's Day for the initial walk marking an April full of Saturday Historic Walks.
In Mooresville, a group of 14 gathered at Alabama's oldest continually operating post office on Lauderdale Street at 10:00 a.m. before winding through the tiny village's tree covered streets and enjoy the almost door-to-door history, heritage and architecture. The paused before homes with charming gardens, stood in the shadow of the Brick Church, and enjoyed tales of local lore including the XYZ Preacher, visits of U.S. Presidents and tales of yester-year.
Mooresville's small businesses - Lyla's Little House, Java.Mooresville, Mooresville Mercantile, Hen House Arts and Southern Carnage - welcomed the tour groups and invited them back following the tours for a little shopping and dining.
Athens offered four of its six tours on this inaugural April Fool's Day start to the State of Alabama organized event hosted by the Athens-Limestone County Tourism Association. Fifty-two intrigued guest set out from the Athens-Limestone Visitors Center at 10:00a.m. with local guides Rebekah Davis to tour the Houston Historic District; Buzz Estes and William Pepper to tour Downtown Athens Historic District; Anna Gibbs to tour Athens College Historic District; and Billy Ward to tour the Beaty Historic District.
The walks wound their respective historic districts sharing tales of families, history, architecture and occasional bit of forelorned tragedy or legend with tour participants.
Both Mooresville and Athens Saturday Walk Tours continue the entire month of April. The walks are free and open to the public. The walks take between one to two hours to complete.
Two upcoming Bicentennial activities add to the journey of the April Historic Walks in both Mooresville and Athens this month. Mooresville will be breaking ground on April 10th at 10:00 a.m. of a Bicentennial Park next to the historic Red Brick Church with featured guest Senator Arthur Orr. Athens Cemetery Stroll will take place on Sunday, April 23rd from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Athens City Cemetery with over 35 actors dressed in period styles offering tales of history, families and more that celebrates the 200 years of Alabama, Limestone County, Mooresville and Athens. Both events are free and open to the public.
For more information, please contact the Athens-Limestone Visitors Center at 100 North Beaty Street in Athens, by phone 256-232-5411,
MSNHA announces photo contest
FLORENCE – The Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area is hosting a photo contest that celebrates the people and places of northwest Alabama. Deadline for entries is June 15.
"Our area is full of history, culture and natural beauty," said MSNHA interim director Carrie Barske, "as well as talented and creative people. We want to showcase those resources and share the things that make us so special."
A program of the National Park Service, national heritage areas recognize regions throughout the country that help tell America's story. The MSNHA is hosted by the University of North Alabama and includes the six northwest Alabama counties of the Tennessee River basin--Colbert, Franklin, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Limestone and Morgan. It focuses on the themes of music, Native Americans and the river itself.
Contest categories are Native American culture, music, the Tennessee River and nature. One winner in each category will receive a $50 gift certificate from Swampers Bar and Grille, in Florence, and $25 cash. An additional grand prize winner will receive a one-night stay at the Marriott Shoals Hotel and Spa and dinner for two at the 360 Grille plus $50 cash. Winning photographs, as well as potentially other entries, will be featured on the MSNHA website and Facebook page and may be used in promotional materials.
"We hope people will use this contest as inspiration to discover MSNHA's treasures," Barske added. "From outdoor recreation and beautiful landscapes to our American Indian heritage to northwest Alabama's continuing role and influence in today's music industry, our area is known around the world. There's no better way to tell our local stories than through our own local images."
Entries must be digital, taken within the MSNHA by non-professional photographers and submitted by the person who took the photo, Barske said. Other contest rules and information plus the entry form and a release form are on the MSNHA website, msnha.una.edu.

These types of printers are very hard to find these days, and while they have a strange look about them, in my opinion, they have a single perfect roll to play.
Connecting to a PC via USB, the PC TAG Label Writer prints thermostatically onto label rolls that are serrated at regular lengths along the roll. This means you can print as long as you want ? theoretically up to the length of the roll. There is even a control panel letting you change the font.
However, for me, the claim to fame is that the width of the label exactly matches the width of the spine of a MiniDV tape, making this little beast perfect for labelling and archiving.
As I said, these items are hard to find these days but a trawl of the internet found quite a few still on shop shelves.
Easy use. Perfect for tale label priniting.

Thomas Bernhard Quotes
Thomas Bernhard's first book Frost is (unless I'm mistaken) his longest, and of the number of I've today read, the absolute most taxing from the reader—bitter, caustic, depressive, nihilistic.
it is also very funny, the storyline of a new physician hell-bent on making a profession for himself just who heads toward remote town of Weng to spy on Strauch, "the artist, " on the behalf of Strauch's sibling, who can presumably further the narrator's health profession. The artist, long-estranged from their family members, his health deteriorating, life (if it may be called that) in a vile inn at the bottom of a gorge. The painter's sibling dispatches the narrator to report in the minutest detail: "Watch just how my cousin holds his stick, I want an exact information from it."
a word we discovered reading Frost: "knacker." A knacker is somebody who renders, buries, or otherwise dumps dead animals. The knacker of Weng is one of the main figures of Frost. He's having an affair using innkeeper, a symbolically overdetermined story product (in a basically plotless guide) that thematically ties demise to hearth. Frost is savagely morbid, its empty white snow an ideal canvas for Bernhard's bloody strokes. The abject physical violence of their next book seems processed in comparison to the brutality of Frost. The artist declares that "the abattoir may be the only really philosophical location. The abattoir could be the class and also the lecture hall. The only wisdom is abattoir knowledge!" Frost is an abattoir.
Frost can be a stage play of sorts—like others Bernhard books I've read, it will require anything of the type through the conventions drama: minimal units, just a number of characters, and dialogue that always veers into monologue. Through the length of the novels, these monologues (usually delivered by an obsessive, sanity-challenged older guy) fundamentally ventriloquize the ostensible narrator/auditor, a stand-in for the reader's very own consciousness. Bernhard styles, builds, destroys, then rebuilds these consciousnesses; whenever artist of Frost declares which he has actually learned "perspectivelessness . . . because i will be therefore high in various views, " he offers us a condensation of Bernhard's analysis of first-person perspective and its attendant imaginative capacity as simultaneously innovative and destructive.
Certainly, as novelist Ben Marcus points out in his summary of Frost:
Bernhard is an architect of consciousness a lot more than a narrative storyteller. His project is certainly not to reference the known globe, stuffing it with completely rounded characters whom commence to find their particular disputes with one another, but to erect complex states of mind—usually self-loathing, obsessive ones—and then go about destroying all of them. Bernhard's characters tend to be comprehensive accomplices in their own personal destruction, and are bestowed with a language that is dementedly repetitive and besotted using appurtenances of rational thinking. The devious rationality of Bernhard's language strives for a severe expert, and it also can make their characters appear believable, no matter what unhinged their statements. Phrases don't get duplicated plenty as needled until they yield graver definitions, with incremental modifications introduced like a deranged scientist had been including and removing substances into the performance of an experiment.
We can't do better than Marcus, and Frost is just too lengthy a performance to use. I shall say: Gargoyles or The Loser are most likely better initiating places for the people enthusiastic about Bernhard's work. This recommendation is not designed to slight the book at all—but it can look over somewhat like an initial book, sporadically weighed down by (the things I perceive becoming) its authors need to state it all, everything, here and from now on. Naturally, Frost functions prose-passages that any first-time novelist will be happy (and most likely terrified) to own inside their debuts; I've featured a number of on the site currently.
But this might ben't really analysis Frost. A suitable evaluation of Bernhard would take the time to function with their language. We noted plenty in Frost, highlighted plenty passages that I'm not really sure how to begin synthesizing it.
My preliminary thought would be to dodge all of it through a sarcastic post, a parody regarding the alleged "listicle, " those non-articles that seek to boil a-work down to a digestible (and forgettable) summation of estimates, often using the intention of offering the audience a modicum of self-help (in pretense of "wisdom"). Something similar to "Forty Inspiring Quotes from Thomas Bernhard's Frost" or "Timeless Wisdom from Thomas Bernhard" or some these types of nonsense. Anyhow, another area, VII, includes 40 citations from Frost, mainly excellent one-liners too-good never to share. I've enumerated them and lumped them into one big block quote; they've been listed in your order they show up inside text. I do believe they offer an agonizing and funny summary of the book.

Tokenization is a Key to PCI Compliance - RJB Technology Inc.
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) requires that every system that transmits or stores credit card data is subject to review and must meet certain standards else substantial penalties will apply. Tokenization is the process of replacing sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, with tokens that are not subject to PCI-DSS. The tokens are "random" values that resemble the sensitive data they replace, but they lack intrinsic value and are therefore useless to hackers. Removing credit card data from all or part of your environment sounds like a good security measure, and it is. The fact that tokenization can be far cheaper in many cases than alternatives such as encryption, makes this solution an attractive one. Here we will examine tokenization and its standing amongst other compliance strategies.
RJB created the Token Service, a substitution solution for PCI-DSS compliance. This solution has the virtue of being fast, entirely compliant, and easy to install in legacy systems that currently transmit and store credit card data.
This article is a brief overview of our experience and capability. We hope you will find it useful. For more information, or for advice on your PCI-DSS compliance project, or insight and help with your e-commerce or order management project, don't hesitate to get in touch.
What is the Token Service?
"...while conceptually simple, in practice, implementing PCI-DSS requires a security review of the entire IT infrastructure..."
Companies today use a number of measures to secure data and resources, including, but not limited to: physical security, network security, user authentication/authorization, and resource or device security. Payment Card Industry (PCI) requirements and security "best practices" mandate additional security measures for stored sensitive credit card data. Stored sensitive credit card data refers to track data, card validation codes, PIN(s), expiry date, or credit card numbers stored on any media e.g. database tables, files (disk or tape), screens, and reports. Large merchants must undergo extensive examinations of their IT security and processes to verify compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Every system that transmits or stores credit card data is subject to review. Small and mid-sized merchants must go through all the same steps as large merchants except the compliance audit, where they are on the honor system. The list of DSS requirements is lengthy - a substantial investment of time and money is required to create policies, secure systems, and generate the reports PCI assessors need. While the Council's prescribed security controls are conceptually simple, in practice they demand a security review of the entire IT infrastructure. According to Gartner, a company with 100,000 customer accounts spends on average about $6 per account to roll out encryption appliances.
"...the typical objective is to lower the cost while remaining compliant..."
Solutions for securing stored sensitive credit card data are discussed briefly below in order of preference i.e. Removal is preferable to Substitution, and Substitution is preferable to Encryption. In practice, all three techniques are used in combination to a greater or lesser degree with the typical objective being to lower the cost while remaining compliant. Hence, the order of preference reflects that cost ranking.
"...Removal is the only solution that may be used for the card-validation code or value (CVC or CVV)..."
Where possible, credit card numbers are removed from the system. For example, a report containing a credit card number may simply have that data removed from the report, thereby eliminating the security requirement.
Note 1: Truncation or masking of credit card numbers is a possibility where only a partial credit card number is required. The maximum that can be displayed or stored in the clear are the first 6 and last 4 digits of a credit card. If this limit is not exceeded, the credit card data may be considered as "removed". If there is no NEED to display both the first six and last four digits, then only display the last four.
Note 2: Removal is the only solution that may be used for sensitive authentication data as described in section 3.2 of PCI-DSS "Appendix: PCI Data Storage Requirements". This includes the card-validation code or value (CVC or CVV - a three or four-digit number printed on the front or back of a payment card used to validate card-not-present transactions).
"...Access to the full credit card number associated with a Token is provided on a "need to know" basis..."
Credit card numbers are substituted with Token references in all programs, database tables, files, and logs, where such substitution is deemed possible. A token is a number, usually similar to a credit card number in appearance and form, but it is not a credit card number. It's designed to resemble a credit card number so that it can easily replace a credit card number in a file or a network transmission i.e. the file or message format doesn't need to change. If credit card data is replaced with tokens, most of the security checks no longer apply since the tokens themselves are not considered sensitive data.Database tables, files, and logs containing Token references are PCI compliant and remain unencrypted. Access to the full credit card number associated with a Token is provided on a "need to know" basis for the duration of the retention policy for credit card data, after which such access is limited to the masked credit card number i.e. the full credit card number must be Removed by a "Purge Process" based upon a well-defined retention policy.
"...serious thought should taken on using a crypto hardware solution to store the master key..."
Sensitive credit card data is encrypted using strong encryption technology. Only users with the appropriate credentials are granted authority to decrypt this data. PCI compliant procedures, policies, and processes control all encryption/decryption keys and related authentication/ authorization credentials. Collectively, these are referred to as Key Management processes and procedures.Encryption solutions are dependent upon the underlying storage technology, and therefore need to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Encrypted credit card numbers are subject to the retention policy after which they must be Removed i.e. the full credit card number must be Removed by a purge process for that database table or file.
Key Management processes and procedures are related to the encryption solution. For example, tamper proof crypto hardware solutions, also known as hardware security modules (HSM), are generally considered to be the most secure encryption environment. This is primarily because crypto hardware can safely store the most critical encryption key - the Key Encryption Key (KEK), also referred to as a master key. Other encryption technologies that are not based on crypto hardware, either: do not use a KEK (not secure), or store the KEK on disk (less secure), or require that an operator enter the KEK during system startup (can present operational difficulties). There are many crypto hardware solutions available in the marketplace, and serious thought should taken on using such a solution to store the KEK.
"...approach ensures that when a credit card is used it will always be assigned the same Token..."
The Token Service is a secure application program and database that provides an Application Programming Interface (API) for secure storage of credit card numbers, and the issuance of "substitute" PCI-DSS compliant tokens in their place.
A hash algorithm is used to provide a permanent 1-1 relationship between a Token and a credit card number. This approach ensures that when a credit card is used it will always be assigned the same Token, even if the credit card number had been previously purged from the system, for example due to a retention policy.
The SHA3-256 algorithm is used to provide a hash value for a given credit card that will be used as an index to the Token table. SHA3-256 is a federal government currently recommended standard hash algorithm. Refer to Secure Hashing for further information on government recommendations for hash algorithms.
The input to the SHA3-256 algorithm is a combination of credit card number plus "salt" value. The salt is a randomizing agent that further obscures the method by which the hash value was created. It's purpose is to make it much more difficult for a hacker to pre-compute the SHA3-256 hash values for a list of valid credit cards, since he/she would not have the salt value that was used for the calculation. For indexing purposes the salt must be predictably generated to ensure that the same input always produces the same output. In this way we can guarantee that the result can be reproducible for future index lookup. Note: The requirement for reproducibility differentiates this approach somewhat from the random salt approach used in a Message Authentication Code (MAC).
Creating a salt from the message input (i.e. credit card number) to the hash algorithm is sometimes referred to as the Initialization Vector (IV) Message Dependent Approach. For further information about this topic refer to Collision-Resistant Message Preprocessing. As stated in the article the IV Message Dependent Approach "is an extremely simple way of thwarting the known collision attacks". This approach is ideal for situations where data streaming is not involved during the hash calculation, as is the case for hashing a credit card number.
"Test results under heavy load show an average cost of encryption/decryption to be about 58 microseconds."
The Token Service API has been performance tested extensively through its Java API as well as its COBOL API. Test results under heavy load show an average cost of encryption/decryption to be about 58 microseconds. Approximately 55 million accesses were made to the Token Service API in 10 different patterns (Use Cases) intended to match processing patterns found in real e-commerce systems.


We recently caught up with three of the stars behind the creative process at the largest social food network, which reaches more than 300 million people per month, to dish about what makes their unconventional trial-and-error cooking shows so wildly popular and whether it's really possible to make a three-course meal using only a coffee pot.
Alexis deBoschnek works across recipe development and new formats at Tasty as a senior test kitchen manager. After a quick stint in the fashion industry, she worked at Tasting Table and EAT Club while attending culinary school at the International Culinary Center in New York before joining Tasty.
As she'll tell you, any good chef should be able to cook with anything, so producers in the Hollywood studio stripped the kitchen of all appliances except for the coffee machine and challenged her culinary prowess. The video of her using the coffee maker to prepare a three-course meal of chocolate truffles, shrimp salad, olive oil–poached salmon and asparagus has gotten almost 8 million views. Her latest video, "Can This Chef Make a Three-Course Meal With a Clothing Iron" got 3 million views in three days and gave a whole new meaning to grilled lamb chops.
"People love to see me struggle and see where my imagination will take me," the classically trained chef told L.A. Weekly about her appliance cuisine. "I think they are fascinated that you can make something that looks pretty high-end with something so limited. The biggest challenge is the limited amount of heat, so one dish can take two hours to make. We just finished one with a microwave and it was just one disaster after another. All my assumptions of it were so wrong. Things were overcooked, food exploded, things caught fire.
Where staffing comes in is in production and time spent on the videos themselves. The overhead cooking demos can be shot in four hours, and an 11-minute show usually takes a day. Then it goes through various chains like the editing process, social media and copy editing. Once a video is published, about 30 people have gone over it to make sure it's at the highest standard. It can be edited four or five times before it's finished.
Rie McClenny is from Japan and studied culinary arts at the International Culinary Center. She worked as a chef at Rustic Canyon in Santa Monica and at A.O.C. with Suzanne Goin before joining BuzzFeed as a recipe developer for Tasty Japan and now Tasty U.S. She shoots and edits all of her own videos — for example, how to eat Japanese all day from breakfast to dinner, or how to make a raindrop cake. She comes up with the ideas, then shoots and edits.
"Tasty is different because it's more approachable than the other food networks," McClenny says. "We make sure all the ingredients are accessible all over the country. We make sure the steps are easy to follow. I think people feel more connected to us." BuzzFeed says Tasty inspires real action, with 67 percent of its audience having created a recipe IRL.
It was a challenge producing content for Tasty Japan in an L.A. studio more than 5,000 miles from Tokyo, but McClenny's attention to detail and knowledge of the culture made it all authentic.
And speaking of raindrop cakes, video producer Alix Traeger's hysterical and nerve-racking 10-day process of trying to perfect a giant version of the gelatinous confection is riveting. Her career at Tasty started with the now-famous overhead cooking demos, including her favorite banana bread/cheesecake mashup. Like her colleagues, Traeger has tens of thousands of hyper-engaged fans who closely follow her personal accounts across social media.
"I've never been to culinary school and really just sort of fell into food media as it was starting to evolve," Traeger, a Loyola Marymount University graduate, tells L.A. Weekly. "Because it's still new, we get the opportunity to pave the way and redefine food media in our own era. We started doing the trial and error just for fun, and it started resonating with people. We found an area that was so lacking in food media that people actually felt inspired to start cooking and felt comfortable in their own skills. The others show perfection and making a meal without trial and error. That's one way of doing it, but most of the world doesn't cook that way.
So what happens to all that food at the end of the day?
"We try our best not to waste anything," says Traeger, whose favorite moment is her triumph of the completed dish. "We have a message channel in the office, so whenever we finish making something, we'll message out the whole office and announce available leftovers on the leftover table. Usually before I've even made it down the stairs from the kitchen, people are already hovering."

Phantom Wheel
(Hackers, #1)
by Tracy Deebs
Genres: science fiction, thriller, young adult
The digital apocalypse has arrived and the future is here in this addictive technological thriller full of twists and turns. Perfect for fans of Nerve!
Being recruited by the CIA to join a top-secret intelligence program should be the opportunity of a lifetime. For Issa, it's a shot at creating a new and better life for herself and her siblings. For clever con artist Harper, it's a chance to bury the secrets of her troubled past and make sure that those secrets stay buried. But for Owen - honor student, star quarterback, and computer-hacking genius - it sounds like a trap.
He's right.
Owen discovers that instead of auditioning for the CIA, they've all been tricked by a multibillion-dollar tech company into creating the ultimate computer virus. It's called Phantom Wheel, and it's capable of hacking anyone on Earth, anywhere, at any time. And thanks to six teenagers, it's virtually unstoppable.
Horrified by what they've done, the hackers must team up to stop the virus before the world descends into chaos. But working together is easier said than done, especially as the lines start to blur between teammate, friend, and more than friend. Because how do you learn to trust someone when you've spent your entire life exploiting that same trust in others?

January 2016, Robert Lincoln Hosley writes: I am a descendant of Abraham Holroyd of Saltaire. Abraham's grandson, Lincoln Holroyd, was my great grandfather. He was a cornet soloist / music educator in Utica, New York, USA, 1905-1961.
In 1892, Lincoln Holroyd emigrated with his family from Saltaire, England to Bordentown, New Jersey. His father Edwin is credited with giving Lincoln his first lessons on cornet and is referred to in one source as a "well known band man". By 1900 Linc had established himself as a cornet soloist with Winkler's 2nd Regimental Band of Trenton, New Jersey. His first professional teacher was Carl F. Koenig of Leipzig. Both Linc and Carl performed with Winkler's Band. In 1901, Linc moved to Camden NJ, home of Victor Records. As assistant cornet soloist, Lincoln recorded for Patrick Conway's band and played with Arthur Pryor's band as well. In 1905 he accepted a position as Brass Instructor at the Utica Conservatory, and remained an active performer and educator in that city until his passing in 1961.
I would like to find out more regarding Edwin Holroyd. We have a birth certificate verifying his occupation as wool sorter. His wife was Ellen or Eleanor Lincoln. Their son's name is a combination of his parents' last names.
Is there anyone in your circle that has information on the Holroyd family and their involvement in brass playing?
SHIPLEY - DEATH OF MR. ABRAHAM HOLROYD. - Mr. Abraham Holroyd, of Alexandra Road, Shipley, died on Sunday morning at the age of 72 years. He had been in a feeble state of health for some months past. Mr. Holroyd was born at Clayton in April, 1815, vyt at an early aeg left this country for America, returning in July, 1851. He then established himself in Bradford as a stationer and newsagent in Wesetgate, and his shop soon became the resort of many in the district, who had a taste for literature and local antiquarian lore, for which he had a deep passion. As as result of the connection formed whilst in this business the deceased becaue the publisher and editor of many books of locasl interest. Among them was "Garland of Yorkshire Poetry" and "The Poems of John Nicholson, the Airedale Poet." About the year 1859, he brought out a monthly magazine, well-known as the "Bradfordian", which was composed of poems, essays, and the like. It only survived for about two years. Undaunted by the failure of this production, some eight years later, Mr. Holroyd published another magazine entitled the "Colletanea Bradfordians", consisting of papers on Bradford history; but this fared worse than the first, and did not exist much above one year. He afterwards resided at Saltaire, and carried on for some years the same business. Mr. Holroyd was the first person to publish a collection of the poems of Ben Preston, the Yorkshire poet, and many others will know the deceased through his book on "Saltaire and its founder". He was also a great contributor to the newspapers of the district on matters connected with local antiquities. The deceased was married in America, and had seven sons and one daughter, but only two sons and the daughter survive him.

Lincoln Holroyd (May 9, 1881 - February 12, 1961) was a cornet soloist with Arthur Pryor, Patrick Conway (The Otsego Farmer, June 21, 1935) and appeared with the John Philip Sousa Band (Utica Observer, December 1943). He was an active performer, band leader and music educator in Utica, N.Y., from 1905 until his death in 1961.
Lincoln was the son of wool sorter Edwin Holroyd and grandson of the celebrated poet Abraham Holroyd of Bradford, England (b. April 2, 1815, d. January 1, 1888). Abraham's efforts were endorsed by wool manufacturer Titus Salt.
Lincoln Holroyd was born in Bradford, England, and emigrated to Bordentown New Jersey at the age of 12. Leaving School at the age of 15, he supported himself by working in stores while studying music and at 20 joined the Third Regiment Band of New Jersey. (Ziyara Bugle, February 1961).

Prof. Holroyd has been one of Utica's most active musicians for a number of years past.He is the conductor of the Municipal Band, the cornetist at the Avon Theatre, and the instructor and conductor of the children's band at the Masonic Home.
As a soloist, Prof. Holroyd enjoys a splendid reputation.Through recommendation of Prof. Franz Rath, he was engaged as assistant soloist of the Denver Municipal Band of which Pat Conway, conductor of the famous Conway's Band, was soloist and Enrico Garguilo was conductor. He assisted Mr. Conway in the making of his first phonograph records.
For three years he was the soloist of the Third Regiment Band of New Jersey; for two seasons he was soloist for Wilson's Band which played for the carnival during State Fair Week. He has also been a member of the Lyceum Theatre Orchestra in Rochester under George Koehl, the director of the late Schubert Theater String Orchestra.
For three years Prof. Holroyd was cornetist of Young's Pier Theatre Orchestra at Atlantic City and he was encouraged to come to this city by B. A. Rolfe, who's musical sketches are the gems of Keith vaudeville and are known throughout the United States.
Prof. Holroyd was elected president of the local branch of the American Federation of Musicians at its last annual meeting and there is no other better equipped for the place.He enjoys a wide acquaintance in Utica and various other cities where he has played and his artistic musicianship is appreciated by thousands of people.
The following excerpt from the "Catalogue of the Utica Conservatory of Music 1922-1923" places him as the Brass Instructor at the Conservatory and cornet soloist at the Majestic Theater (both posts formerly occupied by B.A. Rolfe).
"Mr. Holroyd was for three years soloist with the Third Regiment Band of New Jersey,three years cornet soloist at Young's Pier, Atlantic City, and since residing in Utica, was cornet soloist with the Majestic Theater Orchestra, under the direction of Franz Rath. For some time he occupied the position as assistant solo cornet with Pat Conway's famous band." (Catalogue of the Utica Conservatory of Music 1922-1923).
In May 1921, he joined the Shriner's Ziyara Temple, based in Utica, and "the organization of the band immediately begun" (Ziyara Bugle, February 1961). He held the position of band leader for 40 years until retiring from the post on February 2, 1961.
Among the bands he directed and organized were the Utica Free Academy,Proctor High School,Ziyara Shrine Temple,Boy's Club and The Masonic Home Band. (Utica Observer Dispatch, February 13, 1961).
Lincoln remained active as a band director and performer until the day he died. According to the Ziyara Bugle, he attended morning rehearsal, "directed the Band for the first selection and then finished the entire rehearsal in the ranks."
Later that evening, he suffered a heart attack and died on Sunday, February 12, 1961. He was 79.
The concluding open air concert for the season, given by Winkler's Second Regiment Band, drew together an immense audience, notwithstanding a circus was in progress within a short distance. The program was a very choice one, and was well rendered. A cornet solo "Das Stransbl" by Hoch, played by Lincoln Holroyd of this city, was a most difficult selection, but he mastered it beautifully and received the greatest round of applause of any piece during the evening. Mr Carl Koenig, his teacher, has reason to be proud of so promising a pupil.
