Must See Horror Movies for a Haunting Halloween
3 years ago Jonathan Joyer Comments Off on Must See Horror Movies for a Haunting Halloween
Halloween is right around the corner, and for those of you who need some kind of entertainment to satisfy your creepy side, I think I have the answer: scary movies.
Scary movies have been in the making almost as long as the film industry has been around and has spawned many sub genres in itself. Ranging from childish and thrilling to gruesome and bloody, whatever type you like, there is a movie for it.
For those of you who are not into the blood and gore of slasher films, there are many other options available for you. For example, "The Nightmare Before Christmas," a story about Halloween Town's beloved citizen Jack Skellington, is a less scary horror film. Another example is "The Halloweentown" series, a story about a girl who learns that she and most her family can use magic. A personal favorite from my childhood is "R.L. Stine's: The Haunting Hour Don't Think About It," which is a story about a girl named Cassie who receives a book that releases an evil demon known as the "Evil Thing." Other honorable mentions include "Monster House," "Coraline" and "Hocus Pocus." These movies I would recommend to those who do not enjoy gruesome bloody movies and prefer movies that are more Disney style and are for children.
For those of you who enjoy seeing something bloody and all out frightening, the following list is for you. Movies that will give you chills are many in number.
Examples of this include the classic "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series and the "Friday the 13th" series. The "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series is a story about a ghostly serial killer named Freddy Krueger who attacks people in their dreams. "Friday the 13th" is about another ghostly serial killer named Jason Voorhees who is always seen wearing a hockey-mask and is killing people near Camp Crystal Lake.
Further examples include Stephen King stories like "It" and "The Shining." "It" revolves around a group of kids being tortured by a demon disguised as a clown named Pennywise. "The Shining" is revolving around the Torrance family and their spiritual encounters at The Overlook Hotel. More modern examples include "The Babadook," a story about a boy and his mother being haunted by a demon from a book.
Other modern examples include "The Conjuring" series and "The Purge" series. "The Conjuring" being about the exploits of Ed and Lorraine Warren and their many adventures as ghost researchers. "The Purge" series being about an alternate world where in the U.S., there is a night every year where all crime, including murder, is allowed. This is meant to be a way to purge all bad thoughts and emotions in one night to lower the crime rate.
A personal favorite of mine is "The Jeepers Creepers" series, which is a story about a demon, known as "The Creeper," that awakens every 23rd spring and roams on a killing spree for 23 days.
Other honorable mentions include "The Saw" series, "The Scream" series, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre"series and "The Blair Witch Project." This list is not recommended for those who are faint of heart and those who easily get nightmares. These movies I would mainly recommend to those who enjoy a good scare and are not afraid of having nightmares later.
Scary movies are supposed to be the fun part of Halloween and are meant to give you and your friends a good scare. For me, horror movies are a classic aspect of the Halloween season. They are the modern way that scary stories are told and can be fun for everyone who is not afraid of them. In my opinion, these movies will continue to be a valued piece of the fall season for years to come.

Here's How It Began: Colin in Black and White
BySafia KhanamOctober 14, 2021 Post a comment
"Black is beautiful" is the tagline of the new Netflix original Colin in Black and White. Here's all you need to know about the 6 episode miniseries based on Colin Kaepernick's struggle as a black man.
Ava DuVernay and Colin Kaepernick are two of the most influential black people of their generation. Both of them have revolutionized their respective fields. And the two icons will be working together in a Netflix Original "Colin in Black and White"!
Here's the trailer of the biopic miniseries awaiting its release on Netflix on 29th October 2021:
What is 'Colin in Black and White' about?
Colin Kaepernick was a young black boy set to make his mark in the field of football and the NFL. He had supportive folk, natural talent, and the required determination. Things could've been smooth for Colin had it not been for, well, racism.

With white adoptive parents, Colin always assumed he'd inherit his parents' "white privilege". The reality check was rather harsh for him as his career and aspirations were on the line just because of his skin color.
With Jaden Michael playing young Colin, the Netflix original is about the former San Francisco 49ers NFL quarterback-turned activist who tackled all obstacles of class, culture, and race.
Other issues the miniseries deals with
The miniseries isn't just about racism. It isn't just another famous person biopic. Co-creators and executive producers Ava DuVernay and Kaepernick worked together to build something the audience would resonate with, irrespective of their race, color, or class.
"The goal was to take the kernel of the idea and make it mean something to viewers whether they're watching in Detroit or Dubai, Shreveport or Senegal," says DuVernay. She continued, "This is how the idea of weaving cultural and historical context with the young person's story came to my mind."
In an extremely heartening interview, Kaepernick says:
"This was an opportunity to open a window into experiences inspired by my high school years. I want Black and Brown kids and their communities to find guidance in how we can combat racism and oppressive systems. I hope someone can see that they too can come out on the other side and be able to say, "I faced those struggles. I've worked through them, and I was able to be successful and come out the other end, keeping my dignity and my identity intact."
Other similar projects to watch
While Kaepernick is new to the field of filmmaking, DuVernay has been a favorite of both fans and critics for over a decade. It is said that an artist and activist are not so far apart. And Ava has certainly lived up to these words.
She gained critical acclaim as a director with "Selma", a film about the 1965 marches for voting rights, led by Martin Luther King Jr. Her miniseries, "When They See Us", took the entertainment world by storm with 23 million views on Netflix within the first month of its release. It was about the wrongful conviction of 5 young Black and Latino boys in the central park jogger case.
Also, the Netflix documentary 13th, directed by DuVernay, is about the Thirteenth Amendment in the United States Constitution that abolished slavery.
With such enticing projects in the past, seems like the cast is set to make Colin in Black and White just as successful.

70% OF PHYSICIANS CONSIDER A MEDICAL CAREER ABROAD. THE END RESULT FOR ROMANIA WILL BE 1 DOCTOR FOR 2000 PATIENTS.
The fact that the salary of a doctor was reduced with 25% last year fuels the ever growing negative feelings that Romanian doctors have for the Romanian healthcare system. A study conducted by the "Solidaritatea Sanitara" Federation underlines the fact that 70% of doctors are considering the possibility of a better medical career abroad.
The specialists believe that the medical migration trend will last for about 20 years from now on, a fact that will bring underprivileged countries an acute lack of quality medical services. The profile of those who leave consists of people between 30-39 years with experience in their medical field.
The official statistics show that, in the present, over 6000 doctors of the 40.000 doctors registered in Romania have already left the country. Among doctors, the number of nurses and other medical staff that have left the country in order to work abroad is about 6.800 of 120.000.
The current numbers show us that a medic should take care of over 647 patients, and a nurse should take care of over 200. If the forecast should turn out to be true, Romania will have about 10.200 doctors for 22 million people, which means that 1 doctor will have in his care over 2000 people.
The migration of the specialists
The main reasons that make the medical migration trend so appealing are first of all the money related ones. The Occident pays better, there is more money for a better life for the family needs.
According to the study conducted by the "Solidaritatea Sanitara" Federation, the percent of those determined to work abroad is about 38%. The proportion of those that consider it is at over 50%, but there are still some hesitations fueled by factors such as age and family. The majority of doctors that want to seek a career abroad are between 30 and 39 years old and have been working as doctors for about 10 years.
"I don't know not even one case regarding a doctor that came back, because he didn't manage to accommodate himself from a professional point of view", declared Vasile Astaratoae, the president of the Romanian Medical College. He added that the medics that leave do not consider coming back: "they will come back only if the political powers will invest heavily in the health system, so that the doctors can practice at a western level their profession, and if their salary will be at least 3 times bigger than the average salary in Romania." According to the data, the doctors that leaved Romania in 2009 chose to practice in countries such as France, the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Germany and Belgium.
The study also shows that 30% of the employees in the medical system have already started to make the procedures needed for working abroad.
Even if this doesn't mean that all 30% of them will leave to work abroad, the figures are still representing a dangerous trend that will most certainly affect the healthcare system.
67% of the persons on which the study was conducted feel a depression in the healthcare system because of the migration.
One of the reasons that motivates 30,4% of the doctors is the prospect of better wages. The final decision depends in the majority of cases on the solutions regarding the internal reasons such as wages, working conditions, future prospects etc.

Five guys from Majdal Shams, their instruments, lots of energy and their own unique style: that's what Green Shoe is all about. From the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, the band unites old and new, and east and west in the covers they bring.
Green Shoe consists of Basel Mfarij on the drums, Alaa Alshaer on guitar, Basm Safadi on bass guitar, saxophonist Amr Mdah and Hosam Alshaer on the oud.
Green Shoe started in October 2012. "A bar in Majdal Shams asked us if we wanted to prepare a few songs and play for the customers one night. Two hours beforehand we rehearsed a little bit and the audience ended up loving it," Alaa recounts.
Before Israel occupied the Golan Heights in 1967, there were 137 Arab villages and 2 Arab cities in the area, housing around 130,000 people. After the Six-Day War, the Arab population had been reduced to roughly 7000, as most had been driven away to Syria. Today only five Arab villages remain—Majdal Shams, Masade, Ein Qinniye, Buq'ata and Ghajar—according to Arab Human Rights Centre Al-Marsad and Golan for Development. The villages have been under Israeli control ever since 1967, and former residents who fled to Syria are not allowed to return.
Soon after the Six-Day War, Israel started settlement construction in the Golan and confiscated large amounts of land for military use. It also allocated a large percentage of the local water resources to the settlements, while restricting the water use of the neighboring Arab communities.
Though they share the same occupying power, the Syrian Arabs in the Golan and Palestinians experience the occupation differently. The Golan has been under Israeli civil law since 1981, whereas Palestinians are under Israeli military law.
The Arabs in the Golan do not own passports, but laissez-passer documents. "Where our nationality is supposed to be, it simply says 'nationality undefined.'" When Israel forced Israeli citizenship on the inhabitants of the Golan Heights in 1981, the community went on strike for 19 weeks. "Most people burnt their Israeli passports. Some took the Israeli identity, but they were shunned by the community," Alaa explains.

The latest release of the American Community Survey provides a reminder of the enormity of the task of shifting commuters into more sustainable modes. Transit's mode share barely moved over the last 11 years despite large investment in new systems.
New data drawn from the ongoing American Community Survey on what mode commuters use to get to work was released this week. Wendell Cox has summarised the numbers for the period from 2000 to 2011 (see exhibit).
The data indicates commuting habits in the US are changing at a glacial pace. Notwithstanding massive expenditure on new transit systems in many cities, driving still dominates the journey to work.
This data isn't available for Australia yet, but we can learn a lot from North America. The usual caveats apply. Note also this data is only for the journey to work. It measures mode share by number of trips, not kilometres of travel.
The proportion of US commuters who drive fell 1.8 percentage points – from 87.9% to 86.1% – over the eleven years from 2000 to 2011, or by an average of just 0.16% per year (from hereon, all percentages are 'points'). Worse, in the most recent year, 2011, the increase was much higher (0.76%), suggesting driving grew faster as the economy emerged from recession.
Notwithstanding the small annual decline in share, more Americans are driving to work. The absolute number of commutes by car increased 6.5 million over the period. In 2011 an extra 900,000 workers took to the roads.
Where did driving's "lost share" go? Not a lot went to public transport. It increased its mode share from 4.6% to just 5% over the period, or by an average of 0.04% per annum (even lower, 0.03%, in the latest year). Patronage went up by a modest 1.1 million over the eleven years, considerably less than the increase in driving.
Cycling went from 0.4% to 0.6% over the period – impressive, but obviously from a small base. But the most significant improver was home-based workers, who increased their share of all commutes from 3.3% to 4.3%. Their numbers rose from 4.2 to 6.0 million i.e. by 1.8 million.
That's significantly larger than the increase in transit commuters. A lot of it is probably a direct result of the recession, but nevertheless the comparison highlights the relatively small gains made by public transport.
Those small advances are in spite of massive investment in rail-based systems in US cities in recent years, especially over the last decade.
For example, there are now 33 cities in the US with light rail or streetcar systems either completed or under construction. There are a further 42 US cities proposing to build systems (excludes heritage streetcar systems e.g. San Francisco cable car).
Building a large market for public transport is extraordinarily difficult in a car-based culture. A key issue though is whether the hundreds of billions being spent on new rail-based systems represent the best way of winning travellers away from cars.
I noted something similar recently in the Australian context. The feasibility study for Melbourne's proposed Rowville rail line, likely to cost in the order of $2 billion plus to construct, forecasts it would increase the share of all trips carried by public transport in Melbourne in 2046 from 12.6% to 12.7%, i.e. by 0.1%!
A big problem with public transport investment in the US is that the choice of projects is driven much more by political considerations than by good decision-making. As happens in Australia too, people are captured by the glamour and presumed worthiness of rail-based projects over more humble alternatives such as buses, or more difficult options like road pricing.
Even if infrastructure is productive on average, it is only economically productive if it is "the right infrastructure, in the right place at the time and accessible at sensible prices". Simply spending money on infrastructure is not enough to get a return if the cost benefit case is not there.
It will be extraordinarily hard to shift significant numbers of US (and Australian) workers out of their cars and into more sustainable modes. That however makes it all the more important to develop policies that deliver real mode shift.
As well as targeting spending on productive, cost-effective infrastructure, those policies should involve "soft" initiatives addressing, for example, issues like how travel is priced, how modes connect operationally to form a system, and how land uses reinforce and support desirable transport choices.
The numbers from the Community Survey also highlight the long time frames likely to be involved in significantly changing travel behaviour. Cars will very likely continue to be the dominant mode for a long time yet – both in Australia and the US – so they need to give much more towards the objective of a more sustainable, equitable and efficient transport system.
Of course it would be better to look at Australian data on commuting. The ABS won't release 2011 Census data on the journey to work in Australia until the end of next month, so we have to wait.


So where do you fall on the eco scale? Do you consider yourself an environmentalist or are you just and eco poser? Paul Wheaton's recent post on Make it Missoula discusses a test that Paul calls The Wheaton Eco Test. It's a simple test to measure one's eco level. The test is simple. If you spend more money on electricity per year than the average American you can't consider yourself eco based on the criteria of this test. I thought it would be interesting to see if our family passed the test.
It's a simple test. Do you spend less than the average American on electricity? Paul's post states that the average American household spends $1000/month per adult for electricity with heat and $250/month per adult without heat. This does not include kids in the home. Basically Paul states that if you have kids and you want to call yourself eco you should keep your energy consumption down due to overpopulation. So if you spend less on electricity than the average American, you can call yourself eco (at least eco level 1), if not then you might have some work to do.
I really don't claim to be "eco" or an environmentalist or "green" for that matter. But we are following a path to become more sustainable, to live more within our means, and to live more in touch with the natural environment. But we failed the eco scale test pretty bad. Our household (2 adults, 2 teenagers, and 1 five year old) would need to spend less than $2000 on electricity with heat. For 2011 we spend $2725 on electricity.
I agree with Paul that this is a simple acceptable measure of one's eco level. It's a good place to start. If the average American does in fact spend $1000/year per adult on electricity with heat, then I think our environmentally mindful household should definitely be trying to spend less if we are to call ourselves eco. So what steps can we begin to take to lower our energy usage?
We need to try to reduce our electricity usage to decrease the amount we pay for electricity by about $725. I'm not really sure if we will be able to accomplish this. When you are dealing with change within a family unit, it should be gradual.
I plan on first monitoring our daily kw usage by reading the meter everyday. I should probably also chart the outside temperature with the kw usage. This will keep us more aware of our kw usage.
Our laundry is another area we will try to save money on. By using the laundry cost calculator (see results in the figure below, Case A) it estimated that we spend $363/year on laundry. Wow! By making a few changes (Case B below) it's estimated that we can reduce our laundry costs to about $178. That's an estimated savings of $185/year.
The main factors we changed for potential savings are only washing in cold water, making an effort to hang more laundry on our clothes line, making our own laundry detergent, and trying to reduce the number of loads we wash per week. In order to compensate for using the clothes line more, I just adjusted the calculators dryer time to 30 minute dry times instead of 45 minutes. We could potentially see more savings. I plan on trying to not wash my clothes as often to reduce loads per week, and encourage the family to reuse bath towels when possible.
Last year we had a couple of months in the winter were our electric bill was $400 – $600 for a month's bill. We found out that our unit needed to be replaced so we replaced it with a heat pump unit. This should save us at least $400 – $500.
I think the Wheaton Eco Test is a good simple way to test were one falls on the eco scale. Whatever that means to you is for you to judge. As Paul states in his post, it would be very complicated to come up with a test or model to accurately measure all aspects of a person's lifestyle to measure where they fall on an eco scale. I plan on keeping a daily log of our kw usage and will document it in a monthly post for this year. I hope with the steps mentioned above, being more aware of turning of lights when not being used, and just being more aware of our kw usage, we can get below $2000 for our electric costs this year.


"Coworking" isn't just a buzzword, although I may be preaching to the choir if you're reading this blog. While the idea of sharing office space isn't new, the idea of purposefully building a community of independent workers in a workspace—in other words, coworking—is growing like gangbusters. Many people recognize various benefits of coworking (such as the chance to get out of the house/cafe or to meet other creative professionals).
But a key aspect of coworking that is sometimes overlooked is the way coworking can boost income (for independents) and stimulate the economy (in a local area).
Coworking helps freelancers and independents make more money.
The first global coworking survey was recently completed, and more than 600 people from 24 countries participated. The results confirmed what many of us already experience in coworking: it's a collaborative and community-oriented space that helps independents genuinely grow their business. As many coworking blogs have highlighted from the survey, 42% of survey respondents reported earning more money after joining a coworking space. And more than half said they work in teams more often since joining a coworking space.
Coworking helps the local economy.
When it comes down to it, coworking isn't about plopping together a bunch of laptop-toting freelancers under one roof. Coworking is about community. And "community" isn't just a fuzzy, feel-good term: it's critical to a thriving coworking space. For proof, see how often "community" is mentioned by coworkers, freelancers and entrepreneurs at coworking space New Work City in this video.
I'm curious… whether you're a coworker or coworking space owner, have you witnessed other ways in which the coworking community has boosted income or the economy? Leave me a comment below!
A coworking spot can be a shot in the arm to the local restuarants, catering businesses, and other local businesses. A coworking community makes a new part of town a big part of their day and they go out for lunch, buy goodies, go to the local gym, etc. This is a flood of money to the local businesses directly from the members. I can see this directly in my coworking community and the local restaurants are getting to know us by name.
Long term and more importantly a coworking community can make a part of town a hub of ideas and entrepreneurs. Similar to how artist or fashion designers in New York City flock to certain neighborhoods a coworking community can make a neighborhood 'the place to be' for developers, freelancers, and small businesses. This will have a long-term impact on a community and be one critical aspect of economic development.
Craig-thanks for your thoughtful comment! I agree with you. We throw a ton of money at Old Town where we are located. Between coffee breaks, cupcake runs, birthday present shopping and buying tickets to the theaters, I think we make up a significant portion of sales down here!
As for a "hub for entrepreneurs" I'm seeing more and more that people who are leaving traditional employment to go out on their own are FAR more successful, more quickly, when they join a coworking space. Access to fresh ideas and tips and tricks from people who have been there are priceless!


Back in January when Coachella announced its lineup, norteño fans were excited to see Los Tucanes de Tijuana booked for the two-weekend festival. Most known for their song "La Chona," the group is one of the most widely celebrated bands in norteño music. Making it onto the Coachella lineup would have been reason enough to celebrate but this week the group got even more good news. According to KESQ, the group was presented with the keys to the city of Coachella ahead of their landmark performance in Indio, California this weekend.
Los Tucanes de Tijuana are the first artists in the festival's history to be awarded the key to the city of Coachella.
On Thursday, they will be presented with a key to the city of Coachella, according to Goldenvoice, the promoter of the Coachella festival. The ceremony took place on April 11 at the Coachella Library, a Q&A followed with a discussion about the band and their impact in the Coachella valley.
Los Tucanes de Tijuana began their musical careers in 1987 in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, which is less than four hours away from Indio. Hit singles like "La Chona," "Mis Tres Animales," and "El Tucanazo" put the norteño music genre on the map that spread into the U.S. Overall, the group has sold over 14 million albums worldwide and has amassed a huge following.
The group has various ties the Coachella Valley, which makes their upcoming performance more special.
While some might not know, the group has close ties to the city of Coachella. The group started playing in Coachella in their early days at a club known as La Copacabana. Even various members of the group, Mario Quintero Lara, David Servin Raya, Tomas Herrera, Gustavo Labrada Valenzuela, and Alfredo Gonzalez Gonzalez, have family who lives in the area. Their group manager also comes from Coachella.
As well as receiving the honor, Los Tucanes de Tijuana will become the first norteño band to take the stage at Coachella.
The group will be leaving their mark at Coachella by becoming the first norteño band to take the stage at the festival. As well as Coachella, the group will be performing at CHELLA on Wednesday, April 17.
It's a landmark moment for the group in terms of representation on a mainstream U.S. festival. All of this is well deserved recognition for the group that has supplied the soundtrack to countless quinceaneras and backyard parties.

We're here to see masculinity presented as a strong display of feelings.
When we first read this, our hearts dropped, too.
These On My Block fans have no chill when it comes to showing their love for their favorites. However, is there even a lie in this tweet? Honestly, we ask you to let us know.
Even Jason Genao came out on Twitter to thank the fandom.
Plus, we get to see how Ruby and Jasmine's friendship evolves without Julia (forgive me, ghost).
The two have been longtime neighbors and Jasmine makes extra effort to comfort Ruby during his grieving process. Then she puts on a Bachelor's-esque show for Ruby to get a date to the dance. Don't worry–Monse threw feminist shade all over it.
The fandom elevates Jasmine to A-list performance and full level obsession this season.
Turns out, Jasmine is living in Enlightenment.
This season, we learn about her family life and how she has the strength to be fearlessly herself. She lives for herself–nobody else.
Jamal had a total and complete meltdown over having that much cash.
He didn't tell his friends about the Roller World money because he felt it was too insensitive. We know he felt this way because he talked about it extensively with the gnomes from Julio.
He set up cameras in his room and watched himself roll around in the piles of cash.
Boy was having legitimate paranoia about being rolled up on if anyone found out he had $200k in a duffel in his laundry bin.
Let's talk about when Monse discovered Julia was actually her mother, Selena.
How could Selena just start crying in response to her daughter asking if she could have left her if she looked more like her (read: white).
Selena told her friends that Monse's dad was abusive.
Bye, Becky. Monse could never live with her mom when her new friends are all afraid of her dad.
The gang seems to be unafraid of Spooky this season.
Jamal tried to buy Diego's protection and Spooky just swiped the money.
Jamal and Abuelita continue to be the most important friendship on television.
The two found $200,000 together in Season 1 and launder it in Season 2. Iconic.
Oh, and we're all scarred by the finale.
All four of the kids get kidnapped! We're all Santos' to you, Netflix.
Netflix, we're already gearing up to fight for Season 3.
Now we know to watch and rewatch that over and over, get on social media, and get our brown voices heard. We need this content and we deserve it.

Starting page of the Affiliate Program
The link to the program page is added to the footer menu of your classifieds site. You may also add it to the main menu. The page outlines the Agreement of the affiliate program and allows new users to register or sign in, if users already have accounts. Users may also register in the program through a default registration page by selecting an affiliate account type. Registered program users may log in the program through a default login form.
Starting page for a logged in Affiliate User
The page presents a comprehensive account overview where an affiliate may view statistics relating to site visits, registered referrals, completed transactions, earned and pending commissions. Stats are available for the entire period or a period since the latest payout to the affiliate. The key stats are duplicated in a diagram giving an affiliate a better visual understanding of differences in figures. The page also contains a unique referral link, which may be added to a website or an appropriate article.
Commissions Page
This page presents detailed information on commissions on earnings and available to an affiliate such as:
Commission status (whether it is available to be payable or not);
When earnings are expected to be paid;
Transaction details;
Earning amount and payout date.
The page presents a list of payments made by the Administrator to a given affiliate with information such as payout date, number of deals and amount paid. The affiliate may also view payment details such as list of earnings and a referral's action, which earned an affiliate a commission. All of the payment details may be exported into a PDF file.
The page contains different banners added by the Administrator. Note that banners are missing by default. Each banner has its display parameters and an html source code for adding it to the affiliate site.

Banner Manager
The Administrator may add banners, which will be become available for Agent/Affiliate. Once the banners have been added, the affiliates may use the codes to add them to their website.
Payment History Log
The manager contains a history of payouts made to the affiliate. The Administrator may use this tool to trace the payment history and obtain an insight into commission details relating to each of the payout.
Payout Page
Currently, the commissions can be paid manually; however, the process is pretty straightforward. The Administrator is notified once the affiliate earns a commission that is ready to be paid to him. To mark affiliate earnings as paid, the Administrator may tick all the payable earnings in the grid as paid, which will bring up a popup window highlighting the payment details for selected transactions. Using the affiliate's billing details, for instance his PayPal account, the Administrator needs to manually pay out earnings to an affiliate.

Formal portrait of Lena Cooper, circa 1940s. Photographer unknown
Lena Hayles was born in Pontypool, Wales on 12 September 1863. She was the eldest child of William Sampson and Annie Hayles. Along with her parents and two younger siblings the family arrived in Australia in 1870 on board the 'Young Australia'.
On arriving in Australia the family moved to Yatala where they remained until 1877. It was while living in Yatala that Lena attended Beenleigh State School and at the age of 13 entered the Department of Education as a pupil teacher at the same school.
When the family moved to Nerang she transferred to Nerang State School and became the first pupil teacher at this school.
In 1881 Lena married Edward Cooper. They were married in St Margaret's Church of England, Nerang by Rev. James Gilbertson. Lena and Edward went on to have five sons and five daughters.
Lena was a keen reader and writer and kept diaries with details of personal experiences and local events. Together with her husband they farmed land at Carrara. The site became the Carrara Sports Stadium.
Lena still taught after she married and was the teacher in charge of the Carrara State School from 1902.
Her husband died in 1916 and Lena remained a widow until her death in 1965 aged 101 years and 9 months. She remained active in farm life until a few months before her death.

BokSmart embraces digital future with SportsCap
SA Rugby's BokSmart Rugby Safety programme has embraced a digital future to combat the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, following a landmark sponsorship agreement with sports software specialist, SportsCap.
The agreement will allow the national rugby safety programme to continue training coaches and match officials in safe practices through a 'MyBokSmart' app – despite the constraints enforced by the pandemic.
The new software programme will house a BokSmart Certification Software Ecosystem (BCSE) to support the various aspects of BokSmart's internal and external operations.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way business and the world operates, and we are delighted that we will enter into the 'new normal' with SportsCap as our partners," said SA Rugby CEO Jurie Roux.
"BokSmart and SportsCap have developed a good relationship in the past few years in other operational aspects of the programme, and we are pleased to see them coming on board as an official partner.
"This new system will not only enable us to offer a non face-to-face option to BokSmart training, it will also benefit the coaches and referees immensely by allowing them the opportunity to complete their certifications in their own time."
Dr Wayne Viljoen, SA Rugby Senior Manager for Rugby Safety, said various elements were being planned for the BCSE: "We will have an upgraded internal certification system database, an internal reporting system, and an external BokSmart Certification Check App," said Dr Viljoen.
"The main aspect of the BCSE will be the 'MyBokSmart' web portal, web-API and App that will be developed over the next year. In addition to this, new components will be created in the future as the system develops and expands."
SportsCap Managing Director Dale Toy was delighted to sponsor the project and said: "This is the start of a new era for BokSmart and we are looking forward to being part of their journey towards a digital future.
"By moving BokSmart online we are breaking through the ceiling by not only strengthening the relationship with the existing stakeholders but expanding it to include players, parents, medical staff and administrators.
"Along with the BCSE we are also creating systems designed specifically for clubs and schools to make compliance with BokSmart and rugby in general both simple and time efficient.
"We have been involved with BokSmart behind the scenes for a few years now, and have seen first-hand the impact that it has had on making the game both safer and more accessible.
"It is a privilege to now be an official partner and part of the team driving this," added Toy.
Apart from online BokSmart certifications, 'MyBokSmart' will allow coaches, referees, players, and even medical staff to register and view certain modules on rugby safety from their devices of choice, such as laptops, mobile phones and tablets.
Once registered on the App, BokSmart will become a self-controlled access point for coaches and referees to be able to direct their personal journeys with the programme, and once verified, to change, update or edit basic personal information that is currently on the BokSmart Certification System database.
Medical support personnel for rugby teams will also be able to get themselves certified in future via the online or App-based course, which will extend the reach of the programme, while one or two modules will even be aimed at player education.
'MyBokSmart' will also be used as an information hotspot for all who have registered on the App, to receive key notifications, new information pieces, regulations, documents, videos and infographics that may have significance.

ACU Encourages State Lawmakers to Stand up to Biden's Left-Wing DOJ
Conservatism Starts Here – bringing you CPAC, Congressional and State legislative ratings and sound policy proposals
America's State Lawmakers
Dear State Lawmakers,
The Biden Administration's Department of Justice just launched an attack on the Georgia Legislature for their work to protect the integrity of elections. This stands in direct opposition to the ideals of federalism upon which this nation was founded. It shreds the principle that in our republic, each individual has equal say in choosing who represents them.
Our Constitution created a federal government of limited and enumerated powers. Unless specified otherwise, it is the constitutional responsibility of the states and state legislators to determine policies for their people – and to be accountable politically to them for those policies. Nothing was more fundamental to our new nation than the exercise of the franchise its citizens had fought for and won.
With regard to elections, the Founders of our republic went even further than broad principles of federalism, specifically reserving to State legislatures the power to determine the "time, place, and manner" of holding elections. This wise provision has kept protection of voting for actual voters for over two centuries. Constitutional law and the Supreme Court have firmly established that States have the authority to craft their own procedures, expressing the will of their own citizens, in order to ensure their own elections (both State and federal) are fair, honest, and orderly. The State legislature of Georgia has done nothing other than what our Constitution and its people expect it to do. And they did it exceptionally well.
The Constitution also specifies precisely how the national government can legitimately address any concerns they may have about State election laws – it authorizes Congress to pass a law of its own without infringing on the unique needs of each state. But if the federal bureaucrats currently in control fail to pass a constitutional law, as they have just failed to pass the Corrupt Politicians Act, they may not cover up their failures by deploying the federal executive branch against a state. They may not attempt to achieve their partisan ends through harassing litigation and political agitation. Sadly, that is exactly what this highly partisan DOJ has announced it is doing.
In its complaint, the DOJ targeted several provisions of newly enacted laws in Georgia that are designed to keep elections fair and free in response to voters' frustration with the 2020 election irregularities and their inability to be genuinely heard in court. Recent polls underscore that many of these provisions, especially the requirement to prove identity before casting a ballot, are overwhelmingly popular with the American people. Voter ID laws are common sense; two-thirds of States (including Biden's home State of Delaware) currently enforce them. The DOJ has also condemned the prohibition of partisan ballot harvesting, electioneering efforts at polling places, and unsecured ballot drop boxes. Opponents of this legislation claim they want to increase access to elections. In reality, however, all they want is partisan power grab to dilute legitimate votes with unlawful votes to manipulate the outcome of an election.
In addition to suing the State of Georgia for preserving the integrity of their elections, the DOJ ordered that all federal prosecutors and the FBI focus on making sure States do not pass or enforce election integrity measures. Even after this blatant overreach, the DOJ implored Congress to pass laws to give it more power to nullify State election integrity laws. There are no two ways about it – this is blatant THUGGERY!
The action taken by the DOJ today demonstrates this administration's determination to undermine states' ability to govern themselves. United States elections must be decided by the people, not a self-perpetuating government of elites. The DOJ's recent actions illuminate a politically driven decision with the 2022 midterm elections in mind. Its actions are designed to weaponize the power of the federal government to intimidate States attempting to empower all eligible voters (and only eligible voters) to make their voices heard at the ballot box – and to each vote just one time. This outrageous abuse of power must not stand.
The DOJ has a real job. It must fairly enforce the laws of the United States that actually exist, not use its litigation power to intimidate states into settling frivolous cases. This shameful and transparently partisan lawsuit by the Attorney General at Biden's demand will not withstand the test of constitutionality, nor the test of time. It must be legally resisted by every State – not just by Georgia – because every State's authority is undermined by this outrageous lawsuit. The integrity of our elections, as well as the integrity of our constitutional system, is at stake.
As a duly elected representative of the people, do not let the politically motivated DOJ intimidate you into surrendering your power. The DOJ's attack on Georgia's legislature is only the beginning of an all-out federal assault on state constitutional authority to administer their own elections – and no state is safe.
The American Conservative Union will always stand by you in your fight to ensure that elections are easy to vote in and hard to cheat. You know that this lawsuit is a prelude to HR 4 and the reintroduction of pre-clearance – a provision in the Voting Rights Act that was overturned by the Supreme Court in Shelby Co. v. Alabama. We will make sure the American public becomes well-versed in this despicable initiative.
Meanwhile, we will continue to hold lawmakers accountable to election integrity via our scorecards, and you can see all of the specific election bills we have scored here.

To Disney In Less Than 12 Parsecs
By Heather Sedlak • June 10th, 2011
Not long ago in a state relatively far away, there was a celebration in honor of a film series that rocks so hard it makes the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. Held annually since 2003, Star Wars Weekend at Disney World has come to define the start of my summer.
This year's festivities are being hosted by Ashley Eckstein (Her Universe and Ahsoka Tano's voice) and James Taylor (Obi-Wan's voice in The Clone Wars). The special guests for this particular weekend were Bruce Spence (Tion Medon from Revenge of the Sith), Dee Bradley Baker (Captain Rex's voice in The Clone Wars), and Anthony Daniels (who looks and sounds eerily like his character, C-3P0). Over the next couple weeks, guests will include Peter Mayhew, Ray Park and Jeremy Bulloch.
My sister, who arrived an hour before the park opened, managed to get the very last pass to see Anthony Daniels. She reports that he's very nice and even signed an extra autograph for her, maybe because he was the only guest to get an air conditioned building to sign autographs in. Everyone else was shoved into a small Sith black tent outside. I was sadly unable to get a pass of any kind to see these talented people since seeing them required a ticket – we arrived fifteen minutes before the park opened and all the passes had been already given out.
There were also various characters scattered throughout the park. The light side and the dark side characters were segregated so there were no faux fights to be had – with Clone Troopers and Storm Troopers wandering around making sure of that. My friend and I stood in line for a long time in the heat waiting to get my picture with Darth Vader (success). Jango and Boba Fett shared a stall but alternated every 20 minutes, so my friend and I had to be a little clever to attain a photo with Boba (Jango's not as cool as Boba – fact of life people). There were Jedi, who I love, but my friend and I felt strange about the characters that could interact (because the majority of the lines were small kids getting their picture taken). Fun note: Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes wandered around the Star Tours queue and one of them cut the line to startle people. My friend and I, needless to say, found this hilarious.
I have to confess that seeing Darth Vader dance to "Thriller" is probably something that I'll giggle about every single time I think about it.
Speaking of little kids. Undoubtedly the most adorable part of the weekend (and every day in front of Star Tours) is the Jedi Training Academy. Little kids, aged 4 – 12, are invited to take up a robe and train in the ways of the Jedi lightsaber combat. They are instructed by a bonafide Jedi Master and his (or her) former Padawan. This sounds like a great plan until who shows up but Darth Vader. The little ones (not the Jedi Master, no, of course not) are then dispatched to take down the menacing Sith Lord who, strangely enough wields a training lightsaber. Rumors tell me that this attraction may soon be moved indoors and to another planet where a certain Jedi Master in exile would be teaching the younglings… We shall see.
After training with the lightsaber, little Padawans could then go and take the "Padawan Mind Challenge" and show off their ability to retain information about their favorite series. My friend and I were not allowed to enter because we were over 12. We would have totally won.
The showpiece of the event was the opening of the new Star Tours ride. The first weekend, it was christened by the maker himself. If there was a point over the weekend that the line was less than an hour wait, I missed it. Even with a Fastpass, the line is long. However, there is a lot to look at and be entertained by (this is Disney, after all) while you're waiting including a quirky droid x-raying passengers' bags and one that just tells corny jokes.
Now you're asking if waiting an hour for a five minute ride is worth it. Here's the short answer:
Closing the day's festivities was Stig and Oopla's Hyperspace Hoopla. If it sounds silly, well, that's because it is. But, it is also hilarious combining the cleverness and showmanship that Disney offers with the geekiness of Star Wars. I had the chance to see it last year, and I have to confess that seeing Darth Vader dance to "Thriller" is probably something that I'll giggle about every single time I think about it. You watch all your favorite characters have an epic dance fight. The fate of the rebellion is fought over in a light side versus dark side dance off with a finale that… well, the finale gets a little awkward for everyone involved (read: they play up the incest). It's campy but worth it. This year, Emperor Palpatine breakdanced. Yeah. You think about that.
Overall, this was, as it always is, a fun and memorable event. It has grown in popularity and seems to be continuing in that vein. While there aren't a lot of events geared toward the bigger kids, the fun is family friendly and helps include non-Star Wars fans into the excitement. I hope it remains at Disney World for a long, long time. And I have a very good feeling that it will. This year, it will run every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from May 20 – June 12.

Charles Stross is an anomaly, of sorts. His genre style borrows more from American formula than British intuition, yet his stories contain just enough "pints" and jokey references to English socio-geographies to be unmistakably British. Yet his popularity among US sci-fi readers is undeniable, and I've gotten the impression, from interviews and his blog, that he purposely designs his books for the American genre market, because that's where the money is.
In 2003's Singularity Sky, Charles Stross introduces us to a post-singularity universe, where a hivemind spaceship drops mobile phones to the citizens of a technologically-repressed planet. He jabs, he winks, he plays with tropes, and spouts his wisdom through the forms of Rachel and Martin, two undercover spies who get involved in related hijinks.
In Iron Sunrise, Stross returns us to the same universe, but this time he is darker, less jokey, and plays it slightly more subtle, although he still delivers a humdrum science fiction spy story supported by the two-dimensional Rachel and Martin, but this time starring a snarky teen techno-goth girl and rough-around-edges warblogger.
This 2003 nuclear-steampunk space opera is crammed full of SF tropes and wink-and-nudge political satire. And in case you aren't intelligent enough to sniff out the satire, Stross will bruise your ribs from his incessant elbowing of belabored musings and contrived character debates.

Album Review: Putumayo Presents Jazz Around the World
Putumayo's top-selling India surveyed pop styles of that country. This, their other high-profile release of 2009, is Jazz Around the World. The sleeve describes it as "original songs and standards performed by musicians from Cuba to Cameroon."
Chantal Chamberland starts things off in slightly familiar territory: the French Canadian chanteuse sings "La Mer" accompanied by a tasteful jazz quartet. The melody is better known to Americans as Bobby Darin's "Beyond the Sea" but the liner notes (always a Putumayo strong suit) tell us that these lyrics are the original, and are radically different.
The sounds put forth on Jazz Around the World are vaguely reminiscent of Burt Bacharach, Sergio Mendes and similar lite-pop of the 60s and 70s. There's nothing here that will knock listeners on the head, and that inoffensiveness is certainly part of the disc's goal.
Jazz Around the World is best used as background music to a candlelit dinner, though this writer can report that it's a fine accompaniment to morning coffee. The songs are interesting enough to bear closer scrutiny, and as always, Putumayo packages the disc with enough information to facilitate that. For the listener whose musical experiences haven't expanded much outside the Western mainstream, Jazz Around the World is as good a starting place as any into the musical world of…world music.
Jazz Around the World makes the unspoken case that music truly is the universal language; there are clear sonic connections between the music of artists from New Zealand, Mali and Cuba. Every note of every song is impeccably played, and even though the styles vary, the song selection and sequencing guarantees that no jarring shifts will upset the listener.

Why did the Philippines close the resort island of Boracay?
The government of the Philippines closed Boracay to tourists for six months starting April 26, 2018 in a bid to fix the sewerage and water treatment facilities and discipline the commercial establishments on the 1,000-hectare resort island.
About 30,000 workers were displaced when the government declared the 10-square-kilometer island off-limits to visitors. Boracay which is composed of four barangays (villages) in Malay, Aklan was recognized as the Best Island in the World by international magazine Condé Nast Traveler in 2016.
More than 800 establishments on the island, mostly resorts and restaurants, served a record 2 million foreign and domestic tourists in 2017, making Boracay the most popular beach destination in the Philippines. The biggest number of visitors came from China (375,284) and South Korea (356,644).
The National Economic and Development Authority in Western Visayas said the closure of Boracay Island to tourists is necessary for the government to swiftly and effectively carry out corrective measures for the sustainable use and management of what the country considers as a prime national asset.
NEDA Region VI Office (NRO-VI) said the Boracay closure, notwithstanding its social and economic impact, will pave the way for the rehabilitation and improvement of the solid waste management and sewerage systems, along with the protection of ecologically fragile areas in the island.
"Government personnel and resources are being mobilized to carry out a comprehensive rehabilitation plan. Such plan will adopt guidelines that will take into consideration the island's environmental characteristics, carrying capacity, and legal concerns following Presidential Proclamation No. 1064 signed in 2006," it said.
"Emergency responses have been lined up to take care of vulnerable groups that will be mostly affected by the closure, including workers, families, students, indigenous peoples, fisherfolk, farmers, traders, and transport stakeholders," NEDA said.
The provincial government of Aklan also started removing illegal structures, checking infrastructure and connections and issuing notices for violations of easement provisions.
NRO-VI said the coordinated, synchronized and systematic delivery of these activities, with the cooperation of national and regional government agencies, local government units, private groups, and non-government organizations, should fast track the accomplishment of tasks and deliverables.
It also expects that, with the full support of stakeholders, the rehabilitation during and after the temporary closure will revitalize the tourism industry in Boracay, making it more sustainable in the medium to long term.
"Right now, we must look into the future and take a concerted effort to improve the conditions of Boracay. We must restore its beauty which has captivated and drawn people from all over the world for a long time," Socioeconomic Planning Secretary and NEDA Director-General Ernesto M. Pernia said.
Pernia said efforts toward the development of Boracay are in line with strategies in the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022 of ensuring ecological integrity and a clean and healthy environment.
The Department of Tourism (DOT) has unveiled the redevelopment plan for the resort island of Boracay as early as 10 years ago.
The plan was supposed to give existing developers a ten-year transition period to comply with the new plan and investors to build more hotels and resorts over 123 hectares of new areas.
Architectural consultancy firm CEST Inc. even prepared a comprehensive land use plan to enable Boracay to accommodate as many as 2.2 million visitors by 2018.
"If we don't follow this Boracay land use plan, we won't be able to accommodate 2 million visitors in ten years," former Tourism Secretary Ace Durano was quoted as saying then.
The plan involved the revitalization of the entire coastline of Boracay, with particular focus on the White Beach and Barangay Balabag, where most resorts are presently located.
It sought to spread the concentration of commercial activities from the White Beach area in Balabag to Barangay Yapak in the north.
The Supreme Court earlier confirmed Proclamation No. 1064 issued by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in May 2006, which declared the island as public domain.
The Supreme Court said Congress may enact a law to entitle private claimants to acquire their occupied lots or to exempt them from certain requirements under the present land laws
Task Force Boracay, in an inter-agency meeting held on May 18, 2018 in Haven Suite, Boracay, said about P1.36 billion would be needed for the various rehabilitation efforts being undertaken by its member agencies in the six-month closure period of the island.
The amount is expected to cover the cost of providing social safety nets, ensuring health and sanitation, decongesting the island, enforcing rule of law, engaging stakeholders, and crafting and implementing a Medium-Term Rehabilitation and Recovery Program.
Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno said that the budgetary requirements for the island rehabilitation would be sourced from the budgets of the government agencies involved, pending a consolidated budget request from Task Force Boracay. Funds may also be sourced from the Contingent Fund or the Calamity Fund.
"I'm confident that once Boracay reopens in a few months, that it will be a more attractive destination for our tourists,"Diokno said. "Of course, our work will not stop there. A long term plan is needed to ensure the entirety of the island is not only beautiful, but structurally sound and environmentally sustainable."
A number of major infrastructure projects are currently being undertaken in the area. Some P490 million was released to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), to fast-track the implementation of the Boracay Circumferential Road augmentation project in Aklan. This is in addition to the P50 million allocation in the FY 2018 General Appropriations Act (GAA).
The Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) is also spending around P8 million to P10 million from its own budget to rehabilitate the island's waste water management system by constructing temporary outfalls, opening drainage systems and de-clogging critical areas.

Jew, German in Austria
Caftor - Shutterstock All rights reserved. Used with permission
People Name: Jew, German
World Population: 142,700
Primary Language: German, Standard
People Cluster: Jews
Affinity Bloc: Jews
The Jews of Europe arrived on the continent at least 2,000 years ago during the early days of the Roman Empire. Since then, they have been a significant influence in the history and culture of Europe. Much of what is considered "Jewish" today finds its roots among the European Jews.
Specifically, Jews have lived in Austria since 1360 when some settled in Venice. Most of these people were merchants, bankers, money lenders, and tax collectors. They were a growing and thriving community, but like in the rest of Christian Europe, the Jews faced special challenges. Being both prosperous and insular, the Jews were often singled out for persecution. Jews were burned at the stake or deported in the early 1400s. Between 1564 and 1619 fanatic Jesuits used their influence over the government to impose a high tax on the Jewish population. One of the laws during that era forced the Jews to only allow their first born get married. This was a way to cut back the Jewish population.
The Jewish people in Austria were prospering in most of the 19th century, and into the 20th century. Then came the Holocaust. The Holocaust led to about half of them dying, and most of the others fleeing to safer countries. There are still Jewish communities in Vienna, Graz and Salzburg.
Since the end of WWII, the Jewish community in Austria has re-built itself on a much smaller level. They have their own schools, especially kindergartens. The Jewish people have established youth groups and German language publications to maintain their culture and Jewish identity.
For religious Jews, God is the Supreme Being, the Creator of the universe, and the ultimate judge of human affairs. Beyond this, the religious beliefs of the Jewish communities vary greatly. Orthodox Jews generally follow the traditional religious beliefs and practices found in the Jewish literature that interprets Scripture regarding ethical, religious, civil, and criminal matters.
Reform Jews do not believe that the Jewish Law is divinely revealed. They are not restricted to kosher foods. They neither wear the skullcap (yarmulke) when praying nor use Hebrew in prayer. All religious Jews believe in the coming of a Messianic Age, but only the Orthodox Jews look for a personal Messiah.
Jewish people have a wonderful understanding of their connection with the Abrahamic Covenant. However, they also have a history of rejecting Jesus Christ as Messiah, the one who has fulfilled that covenant. They tend to view Christianity as the religion of their oppressors rather than the fulfillment of what God promised all of humanity through Abraham centuries ago.
Pray for the Lord to give the Jewish people in Austria hearts that will want to please him. May they look to the Lord for guidance and truth, and not be satisfied with cultural traditions.
Pray for Jewish people in Austria to begin a movement to Jesus Christ, finding ways to exalt him while honoring their culture.
Pray for the Lord to move among Jewish leaders in Austria to open the doors to Christ's ambassadors.

A Cozy Arkansas Log Cabin
In March 2017, Walter and Diane Koon moved into their brand-new 4,660-square-foot home on the banks of the Little Red River in Heber Springs, Arkansas. Drawn to the immaculate 3-acre property, their yard is full of giant maple trees.
"Outside, our property looks like a park," says Walter. "Inside, it looks like a museum!"
Southerners through and through, they adopted a "Cowboys and Indians" theme. "We've got a glass case on the wall that holds a circle of arrowheads — all of which I found on our farm in southern Arkansas," says Walter. He also unearthed broken pieces of pottery, which he displays.
Though the interior design is stunning, structurally, the most unique part of the home is the roof system, which makes perfect sense considering that Walter owns a roofing company. When decking the house, he installed R-30 insulation and another sheet of plywood over that before laying shingles. Doing so results in a much cooler upper level, which is crucial given that Arkansas sees many 100+ degree days each summer.
"Log cabins can get really warm at the top, but a good R-30 insulation between the shingles and the exposed ceiling makes a huge difference," says Walter, who also loves the aesthetic of the green roof. "The unique hexagon pattern on the shingles' tabs really set our cabin off."

Structurally, the log home is built using an 8-inch-diameter contour log profile milled from eastern white pine, which is borate treated for preservation. Design-wise, the home essentially has two wings, extending in the front and the back. "It's shaped like a cross," says builder Bob Lewis of Lewis Log Homes. "The valleys in the roof are different but they all connect to the same ridge. Because the one side is taller and wider, mathematically it was impossible to figure out how to cut it to make it look right."
As a result, the process had to be done one rafter at a time with a crane and then slid into place, each log individually scribed — a time-consuming process, but one that created exceptional results.
The home's staircase presented another challenge. After it was installed, Walter didn't like how the landing protruded into the living area, swallowing up a good portion of the room. So, he asked Bob to tear down the stairs and rebuild them near the wall.
"It was a great call on Walter's part," says Bob. "That made the living room much more spacious."

John Harper, a representative with New Hampshire-based Real Log Homes who sold the home to the couple, says his clients knew exactly what they wanted and never wavered.
"We started with a standard floor plan called the 'Stonington' and expanded on it," John explains. "The standard Stonington is 3,256 square feet, while the Koons' home is 4,664 square feet."
To accomplish this expansion John's team removed the Stonington's rear porch and reallocated that square footage to increase the size of the kitchen and dining room. Then they added a large gable porch on the rear out of the kitchen/dining area to take in the Little Red River views and give a larger space for relaxing outside. Upstairs the bathrooms were moved and reconfigured and the on-the-spot reorientation of the stairs gives the home more of that "grand entry."
"We made changes to suit Walter's needs, which we do for all our customers," John says, nothing that in the past 55 years, Real Log Homes has built roughly 35,000 homes. John, himself has been a builder since 1981 and has represented Real Log Homes for 13 years — experience that allows him to fully understand and interpret his customers' wishes.

Though the Koons have two other residences in southern and central Arkansas, they built this place mainly to accommodate their large crew, which includes four children and "a flock of grandkids."
"I built it big enough so everyone could come at the same time," Walter says. "We've started a Christmas tradition where we gather here and decorate the place from top to bottom. We put up a huge tree at the bottom of the stairway and build a big fire in the wood-burning fireplace."
In their free time, the couple likes to hunt for deer in the woods and hunt for deals at local antique shops. They also catch and release brown trout and take in the beauty of adjacent Sugar Loaf Mountain.
"I haven't been at home on the weekend in over 20 years," Walter says with a chuckle. "Though now this feels more like home than anywhere else."

Q: How to observe (or intercept) conversation beginning in CDI? I would like to observe or intercept Conversation.begin() method call in CDI in order to stock the new Conversation.getId() and list all the opened conversation.
I don't find in the spec (JSR-299) how to observe such event. I'm thinking of complex system of Extension which would perhaps use ProcessInjectionTarget or ProcessProducer or other events to do that... but I feel like it exists another simpler solution...

A: Hmm, these are built in beans and so can't be decorated. In CDI 1.1 you could use ProcessInjectionPoint, or add a request to issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI to be able to decorate built in beans.
So right now, not much idea, sorry.
