Buck et al take the stage and I see the frontman is the lad from the door … though now he's standing on seemingly impossibly thin legs. An effect not helped (or perhaps greatly helped) by the front-panelled black leather tights he's wearing … perhaps they're pants … ok tight pants then. They strike me as deeply wrong these pants/tights/whatever. If they were all leather? Yeah. All black tights? Yeah … but the combo? Mmm … not really. His acoustic guitar, slung a little high causing his tackle to catch the stagelights in a fashion unflattering … let's just say the pants distracted me and not in a wholly good way which is a shame because I enjoyed the music. Speaking of costume, the drummer was wearing a plush nylon tiger suit. I've done my time as a drummer and I reckon the plush nylon and percussion combo to be a recipe for steroid creams. At least they made an effort. The songs were well-crafted and well-executed. The band swap instruments and are equally fluent in each. I enjoy Buck's turns on the keyboard (perhaps because he sitting down again) and more than once I find myself thinking 'did he really just say that?' the outbursts polite company would ignore but onstage became this seemingly high-maintenance Morrissey. I had problems balancing Buck's desire to shock with his desire to be taken seriously.
The Main Guy and the Other Guys, down from Newcastle, take the stage. There is an air of professionalism about the Guys. Matching grey/blue collared shirts, black trousers and pointy boots. They set the tone perfectly, opening with a three-part harmony leading down a twisted corridor into a tight room of dark, Cavey ballad. I'm reminded how much I like a band that opens well and this lot are no exception. Fronted by 'The Duke' this crunchy four-piece take us on a musical journey to pretty much everywhere. The lyrics are clever without being smart and the performances tight and delivered with energy and craft. The room is filling and the space before the stage disappears. As The Duke fires up a KORG Microstation and a beautifully rounded square wave oscillates it's way across a boppy disco power shuffle with added jangly guitar, the dancers appear! They can't help themselves! The guy in the paisley shirt and his curvy red companion rip up the dance floor and set the groove. It's a frenzy … well ok not quite a frenzy … but there are dancers and some them are slinky. Have I ever mentioned I like slinky? It's followed by their new single 'Partyhard' and it deserves to go big places … catchy with a melody, speedy pulse and chorus that stick like a sweet glue. 80's inspired Casio boppiness maintains the dancer's momentum. A stripped back multi-vocal track over lush guitar appears that is easily the best mixed track of the night.
You know I'm not that much into music and talking about details would mostly leave me at a loss. But still, I always enjoy reading your reviews, the little stories you tell and the way it feels riding along the flow of words. The picture of the tight black leather pants got me chuckling and might stay on my mind for a little longer. Hehe.
Hehehe I'm very happy to know at least one person reads my reviews!
I think after all I'm still a little bit more into words and stories than into pictures. While words often can easily stand alone to reach me, it doesn't always wirk like this with pictures. If both work well together, it's perfect.
I was hoping for a pic of the leather tights combo!!!
Honestly Patti … I don't think I could have done them justice!
Geoff, if anyone could do them justice, it would have to be you!

Build-A-Bear stock soars 62% as toy company prepares for Baby Yoda
Build-A-Bear Workshop Inc. stock has soared nearly 63% over the past month, with the toy retailer preparing to launch a Baby Yoda toy in spring 2020 both online and in-stores. The stock has struggled over the past year, down 5.5% even as the S&P 500 index has rallied 24.6%. However, the popularity of the Baby Yoda character has given shares a boost, with Build-A-Bear ending last week up 55.7%. The company announced the plan for a new toy at the ICR Conference, which took place last week. Walt Disney Co said in December that it was also putting out a Baby Yoda plush toy. Build-A-Bear said more details about the toy are coming soon.

Stocks Slip Worldwide After Virus Spurs Caution: Markets Wrap
(Bloomberg) -- U.S. equities slumped, joining a global decline as investors grappled with worries that a deadly virus in China might undercut economic growth. Treasuries rose.All three of the main U.S. gauges slid in early trading, with industrial shares among the worst performers after declines in Asia and Europe triggered by reports that the respiratory virus was spreading. Shares in Hong Kong were hardest hit. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index recovered from the worst of its drop, though remained on course for a second day of losses.U.S. luxury stocks headed for their biggest drop since October on worries the virus will disrupt spending during a key Chinese holiday period; banks also retreated after UBS Group AG missed profitability targets. The risk-off mood helped support some traditional haven assets, and the yen and Treasuries advanced even as gold fell.Read more: China Virus Concern Hammers Asian Stock SentimentThe emergence of the illness in China stirred memories of the SARS outbreak 17 years ago for some market watchers, though it isn't yet as serious. The developments provided an excuse for investors who bid up U.S. stocks to record highs last week to take a pause and assess the outlook for global growth and corporate profits as earnings season picks up."There seems to be a little bit of profit taking, maybe a little less risk taking today," said Yousef Abbasi, global market strategist at INTL FCStone.

Uber stock gains after sale of India food-delivery business
Uber Technologies Inc. shares are up 1.7% in premarket trading Monday after the company disclosed that it had completed the sale of its India food delivery business to Zomato, a local player, for a 9.99% stake in the company and about $35 million in cash. "Given Zomato's recent valuation of $3.55 billion in the private markets, this would value the sale at roughly $355 million and ends a dark chapter for Uber Eats in India which has struggled to gain share vs. entrenched domestic competitors Zomato and Swiggy which together control roughly 80% of the food delivery market in India," Wedbush analysts Ygal Arounian and Daniel Ives wrote in a note to clients. They said that there are many markets in which Uber's management needs to determine whether it should exit due to the difficulties of becoming a market leader. Shares are up 12% over the past three months, as the S&P 500 has added 11%.
Tesla Shares May Reach $960 in Early 2021, Biggest Bull Says
(Bloomberg) -- Tesla Inc.'s most bullish Wall Street analyst predicts the dizzying rally in the shares of the electric-car maker will accelerate this year and trade in the $640-to-$960 range in early 2021.New Street Research analyst Pierre Ferragu anticipates the company will sell 2 million to 3 million cars per year after 2025 at industry-leading margins, justifying a market capitalization of $230 billion to $350 billion, or about $1,100 to $1,700 per share."The stock will remain volatile, as the spread between bull and bear cases remains wide," said Ferragu, who boosted his price target to a Street high. "And God only knows what the next controversy will be."Tesla is set to report quarterly earnings next week. Shares of the company are up 3% in pre-market trading and have increased more than 100% over the past three months. A surprise third-quarter profit and strong deliveries for the fourth quarter helped fuel the rally, along with the opening of its China plant.Ferragu, who raised his price target to a $800 from previous $530, expects the company to post a strong free cash flow beat when it releases fourth-quarter earnings on Jan. 29.He also predicts 2020 delivery guidance to beat estimates, and a potential drop in gross margins in the first half of the year as Shanghai-assembled Model 3s -- which have higher fixed costs per car -- increase in the overall mix.Earlier on Tuesday, Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi struck a cautious note, saying the Shanghai Gigafactory production could pressure margins in fourth and first quarter.To contact the reporter on this story: Esha Dey in New York at edey@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Brad Olesen at bolesen3

Uber is Morgan Stanley's top internet stock pick, stock rises
Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak named Uber Technologies Inc. his top internet stock pick for 2020 on Tuesday, writing that the company is showing profit improvements in both its ride-hailing and Uber Eats businesses. The stock is up more than 4% Tuesday. "The two-player U.S. rideshare market continues to be more profit-focused and we expect the decline in available private funding for cash-burning competitors (post-WeWork) to make the non-U.S. markets more rational," he wrote. On the food delivery side, Nowak expects market consolidation in the U.S. and a more rational approach to the company's footprint overseas. Uber announced Tuesday that it had divested its India food-delivery business. Uber's shares have gained 20% over the past month, as the S&P 500 has risen 3.1%.

In Islam, we believe that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the last and final messenger sent to mankind. I.e. there will be no new after him.
For anybody to believe in a Prophet after Muhammad (peace be upon him) they are considered out of the fold of Islam because this constitutes disbelief in the revelation of Allah which clearly states that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the seal of the Prophets. This is a consensus amongst all Muslims.
With Ergun and Emir Caner claiming to be ex devout Sunni Muslims they would have believed the same thing. A Sunni Muslim usually means one who follows the Qur'an and Sunnah according to the pious predecessors, namely by adhering to a particular school of thought such as Hanafi, Sha'afi, Maliki, Hanbali or by taking all of these schools of thought into consideration and following what is the more correct opinion in terms of evidence from the authentic Ahadith. Whichever of these Ergun or Emir Caner supposedly were, the belief of Muhammad (peace be upon him) being the seal of the Prophets is the same.
But for some reason, on two occasions Emir Caner professed that the "Wahhabi's" believe in Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al Wahhaab as a Prophet which is totally wrong.
You can see from the two clips above that Emir Caner says that Abd'al Wahhab was a Prophet.
Along with the error of saying that 'Abd al Wahhab was a prophet, Emir also reiterated that "Wahhabi's" are a sub-sect within the Sunni, so even though he acknowledged the "Wahhabi's" to be a sub-sect within the Sunni, he still went on to say that they believe 'Abd al Wahhaab to be a Prophet! How can that be when all "Sunni" Muslims believe Muhammad (peace be upon) to be the last and final messenger from Allah? It can't.
To go into further detail, Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al Wahhaab was a great scholar who called people to back to the pristine Islam without any innovations, even those of us who respect him highly and refer to his works, we do not, and never will see him as a Prophet.
how comes Emir Caner the supposed ex devout Sunni Muslim does not understand that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the last and final Messenger of God?
Once again the answer is simple – they are being untruthful and do not even understand the basics of Islam.


Yes, indeed, I have returned from my travels, and I thank Greglor for his insightful maintenance of the blog. The decor in the place has...changed a bit, but I like it. He is, of course, welcome to continue posting his culinary adventures.
One bright spot of my travels came at the very end - I was fortunate enough to be upgraded to first class on my return trip to Houston. This was after I had already settled into a coach class seat, so I was thrilled to see what pampering can ensue by the upgrade.
Case in point though, this is the current, more austere airline industry. I already knew that most airlines eschew meals for certain trips. Certainly, though, in the luxurious leatherclad first class cabin, I'd be offered a choice of a meal selection. Would it be sushi or pasta? Chicken or duck?
"Would you like the deli plate? Or not?"
Wha? I guess that's a choice. Literally.
In years past (circa 2003) international first class was quite good to me, foodwise. Domestic, they've offered me a glass of sparkling wine. That said, I haven't flown first class often enough to be able to really say. And not in several years.

Just wanted to say thank you so much for the beautiful jackets. Can't recommend the experience highly enough, arrived the next day, excellent customer service and the jackets are so well made. My 10 month old Bengals got used to wearing them quickly and we're learning to explore the garden on leads already :) Will post photos once we brave the 'real outside'.
Our cat jacket came yesterday and i couldn't resist putting it on our kitten Charlie! He didn't seem to mind it, it was more the lead he didn't like surprisingly. I took him around the garden, familiarizing him with the outdoor (he has never been outside by himself before) I will get a photo of him with it on and post it on asap!
Thanks again for the affordable yet practical tartan jacket!
Hi Maria. Thank you so much for making and sending Peters harness - it arrived on Thursday morning. Petes worn it a few times to get used to it and has been out twice ...... but can't turn corners and just flops on his side - side splittingly funny poor thing!!!! Still it'll get better the more times we use it and when successful, we can get 3 others for our other furries! Great design and really well made you clever lady.
Hi Maria I wanted to say a big thank you for Percys first jacket he loves it and so do I! I watched the video on how to put it on him and after a few goes he sits as good as gold as he knows the delights of the garden are waiting for him! He is one very Norwegian kitty.
You're so welcome, Maria. Finn's jacket is wonderful. He took to it like a fish to water. We put it on the day it arrived in the mail and out we went, no problems what-so-ever, and have been putting it to daily use as the weather permits. Finn is absolutely over-joyed to be outside again.
I just wanted to thank you for putting Windy &Stormy'photo on your website. What fun to see it tonight. I am so happy with the cat jackets that I put the picture of them on the bulletin board in the Veterinary office with your website so others can order from you.
We are planning a 3 month cross country trip in our little Caravan and will be walking the cats each day in their cat jackets. I am sure we will get a lot of attention as it is not a common site in the U.S. to see cats on leash.
I think the jacket and leash probably saved Windy today when a large hawk spotted her in the garden with me and I was able to get her quickly in the house as the hawk swooped down!!!
Fantastic! Ordering and making payment for my jacket order was quick and straightforward. I am so pleased with the jacket and so is Billie - my 9 month old Siberian cat. She is so good and patient and has adapted so well to the idea of wearing her jacket and going outdoors on a lead. Thank you Maria. Will definitely be ordering again in the near future. Will forward picture to you.
The jacket you made for Sonny my sphynx cat is perfect,he looks great in the leopardskin and the jackts perfectly with lots of room to grow. He is perfectly happy to have it on and the velcro fastening makes it so easy(no struggling to put it over his head). I will send a photo when I upload one.
Thank you again for the prompt service.
Great news. I really like your website, it was super easy to pay with paypal. And also I really like the way the pictures are displayed, i.e. i click on the picture to make it bigger and to make it "go back".
I will upload a photo of our boy Ollie as soon as he gets to wear the vest, we already have him leash trained - did it last year and he was very happily trotting along when we took him to Regents Park here in London, and he developed a great habit of running towards trees (me trailing behind) and then he ran up the tree, as high as the lead would permit him! The funniest time was when he could not make up his mind between three trees and ended up trying to run towards all of them. That was hilarious!
Thank you so much for finalising the order so quickly!
I found your website through Instagram.. I noticed lots of people posting pictures of their Bengals in your amazing harnesses and asked a couple where they got them and was told of your site. Your website is really easy to navigate and simple to understand. I especially appreciated the diagram and instructions on how to measure my cat.. I would have had no idea! I'm so excited to receive it and will definitely send you some pictures!
I received the jackets yesterday and I can't thank you enough. I am so impressed with how fast your service was, especially for two jackets of different sizes, completely made to measure. The quality of the jackets is fantastic, so much better than the harness I had originally. The Velcro is very strong and there's plenty of it to allow for growth and for it to still remain secure.
I will certainly be recommending them to my kittens breeder as I'm sure lots of her customers would be interested.
The boys are not too happy with them, but it's still very early days. The youngest and boldest has taken to it much better than my older kitten. He is extremely wary of it and becomes completely subdued once it's on. He is reluctant to move (which is highly unusual as he's usually 100 miles an hour everywhere being a bengal). They both act quite strangely when they are on, almost like they a drunk! I'm hoping this is just because it's something very strange and they will eventually get used to them. I hate having to keep them indoors as there's so much for them to explore outside. I will certainly persevere. I have taken some photos but they aren't that great so I will try again at the weekend.
Thank you so much for your fabulous service.
Many Thanks for the Jackets. They are Beautiful and so well made I will send you some pictures of the cats wearing them in a few Days. At the moment they are not sure about them. They walk low to the ground with them on and the younger one rolls over. I know they will be get use to them very soon.
Thank you for making the jacket! She did manage to get her head out of it at first, when she was just wearing it around the flat, but I think my boyfriend hadn't done it up quite firmly enough, and it was fine after that. We were quite surprised at how long the velcro strips were, then realised that it's why the jacket is so secure.
I must say, she did look funny at first when she was trying to convince us that she was a poor abused kitty who couldn't walk. One glimpse of the birdie-on-a-fishing-pole toy and this ailment was miraculously cured. Hopefully there will be no protests of any sort the next time. I reckon she'll figure out that harness = walk pretty soon, as she's a smart kitty. She's also pretty laidback and absolutely fine being handled, which is why we decided to try walking her so quickly. I can see where a lot of other cats would need to take it slower.
We're thinking of taking her to my communal back area again tomorrow and perhaps Friday, with the fishing pole toy, and then trying her in the places near my boyfriend's flat. There's an old kirkyard just near him which we were wandering about on Monday. Assuming it continues to go well, we have all sorts of plots to take her further afield, either in a basket on Robin's bike, or with me in my wheelchair. Meanwhile, what do cats on leads tend to be like when it comes to roads? If we take her to Canongate Kirkyard, it's just a short walk up the road, no roads to cross as far as I recall. And is there any particular length of extendable lead which you'd recommend?
We got the vests and they fit. Thank you for being so prompt. The neck is a bit long but I appreciate all the Velcro.
We had a walk and that went well, she laid down in the grass to get some sun but then thought she would take off on a sprint. She is very smart and clever this gal. When she hit the end of the line she flipped in the air. Not good but THANK GOD THE VEST HELD. We then spent the next 1/2 hr in the sun cuddling, purring, shaking and meowing. Unfortunately we in California are in the 3 year of no rain. But wouldn't you know it is raining for the next week so we have not been out again. I just put the vest on her and we wander around the garage. I figure anything is good practice.
As soon as we get sun again I will take a picture for you. She is a Ruddy Abby, kind like a Mink color, so the blue looks good on her.
Thanks so much for Janie's jacket which arrived today. It's beautifully made and looks so much more seems so much more comfortable and secure than the ones you can buy in pet shops etc.
Yet again, two fantastically crafted Mynwood Cat Jackets have arrived in the post for my RagaMuffin and Siberian cats in time... They are brilliant and the cats took to them straight way.
Thank you for Marleys new jacket that arrived today it is a perfect fit and he looks very smart.
He has been out in it tonight for his evening walk and I am sure it will be as good quality and as secure as his previous jacket(bought from you ).
In the summer both cats go out for up to an hour and a half crossing streams,climbing trees and their jackets have held fast and kept them safe.
I found your web site easy to use it was straight forward ordering and paying. The choice of fabrics are good and the jacket arrived in 2 days.
Thank you so much for the jackets, we received them a couple of days after placing the order.
Fantastic service! We have two 10 month old indoor F6 savannahs and they have been lead trained for 8 months.
We were using cheap cat jackets which meant the cats escaped many a time! As soon as we got your jackets the cats were excited about their walk.
The jackets are an excellent fit with very sticky velcro and no chance of them escaping! There is also lots of growing room, which was a concern of mine.
I am rubbish with websites and I found yours easy to use, really well laid out. PayPal was fine as we already have an account.
I can't think of anything to improve, seemed all good to me!
Thank you for these fab jackets, I can relax on walks now! I will take pictures of the boys when they wake up.
Hi Maria Jacket arrived safely and faster than Amazon Prime -= awesome service.
I accessed your website via my iPad and had no problems viewing or paying for the item.
It was easy to navigate and examples of cats wearing the jackets very helpful.
Ollie at present takes to hiding under the bed with his on - will take time I feel.
The postie brought Spikes jacket today I'm over the moon just delighted thanks for all your guidance on how to put the jacket on and how to get Spike used to it. Felt as if I was skipping to work today !!
Will send you photos once we have got him wearing the jacket.
I really hope that helps.
Of course I will send you pictures of my cat Pumyra wearing the jacket. It took me a while to find a harness that I felt would be comfortable yet secure for Pumyra. I travel a lot with my daughter and Pumyra so I need to find something secure for her and something that would be comfortable too. So when I came upon your web site I started to look at the videos you had and I found one of a cat that was pulling herself away from her owner with her jacket on and for me that was the deciding moment that I had to buy this jacket. The video showed me that the jacket was secure even if the cat is pulling away from you, the jacket did not move or come off. That is exactly what I was looking for your video really helped me in my decision. I found your web site great it is informative, to the point, and you have many videos and pictures of all kinds of cats and that gives you great examples of how the jacket fits. I have not received the jacket yet but I am so excited to get it you have no idea. I know I will not be disappointed and I would gladly share pictures with you of Pumyra wearing your jacket.
Hi Maria. The jacket and lead cam really quickly thank you. It is a lovely blue jacket and fits him well. We have been out in the garden today with it on and he is slowly getting used to it.
Although it has only been 4 days since we got it, so great progress already. I haven't got a picture yet, but I will send one when I do.
The website was great, and easy to use. I love the 'catwalk' section as it helped me decide what pattern to choose and to reassure myself I wasn't the only person doing this with a cat!
I paid with Paypal so found it very easy to use. I researched your jackets before I bought one and was impressed with the comments on different websites and your attentiveness to the customers.
Please feel free to quote any of this on your website.
Hopefully a picture will be along shortly.
Hi Maria, Just letting you know that my lucy is now fully converted to the harness. She is happy to walk on a short lead with me out and about ...I just can't believe it! I am convinced some of my muffins will adapt too.
I will send some out and about pictures for you to add on your gallery if you like.
I am so thrilled...we were going to buy a dog....no need now.
I will get a flexi lead next to increase her experience.
Thank you for designing such a safe cat harness!
Bless ya thankyou so much for your email. I always find it an absolute honour to have made jackets for such beautiful creatures.
Im really sorry though, to hear about the dog attack, thats really quite worrying, how on earth did they manage to get to your cats? Where was the owner?
I do hope it hasnt put you or your cats off walking though because this is quite rare- on the whole dogs dont usually attack cats, cats can usually hold their own - maybe its because there were 2 dogs and the pack 'thingy' kicked in Im going to add your feedback to the website if that's okay with you.
The dogs were on their leads but the mother (in her 70's) was walking them both together for the first time and had not realised that she was not strong enough to hold them back (they were 2 Staffies). Although my boys are incredibly shaken by the whole thing it has not put us off our walks – they are indoor cats and their time outside means so much to them. We are just taking things slowly and at their own pace. Honestly though, if last weekends attack can withstand your jackets, absolutely anything can. I just felt that I had to take the time to let you know and to thank you - I live with just me and my boys and they are my absolute world.
I am more than happy for the feedback to be added to your website – I simply could not recommend you enough.

Such is perhaps the case with an upcoming vote at the United Nations, where the U.S. has announced that it will not support a resolution condemning the glorification of Nazism. What would seem to be a no-brainer decision on the part of the Trump administration – why would the U.S. want to be seen supporting a fascist ideology that could have easily taken over Europe if not for our intervention? – is, instead, a tough decision based on an even more important fundamental value: The support of free speech.
The resolution, introduced by Russia, calls on all UN member nations to ban speech from pro-Nazi organizations and to implement other liberty-crushing regulations that will curtail the rights of the people to assemble and express themselves. This is why the U.S. cannot and will not be a party to this vote – if there is anything more important than opposing the hateful, twisted views of the Nazis, then it is to oppose the very sort of fascist techniques that they employed in their dark reign over Germany. Thanks to a little thing called the First Amendment, Americans have the right to express any views they wish – even if the vast majority of their fellow countrymen fund them abhorrent. It's not too much of an exaggeration to say that this is one of the major reasons why our country is the greatest cauldron of freedom the world has ever seen.
This isn't the first time that the U.S. has voted against this resolution, of course. It comes up every year, and the U.S. always votes against it with very little publicity. The resolution passes overwhelmingly, and most of our European allies either vote for it or abstain from the vote altogether. It is relatively meaningless in the first place, but it is attracting special attention this year for one obvious reason: Donald Trump.
Trump has been assailed by his critics as some kind of secret Nazi – a would-be dictator who traffics in white supremacy and refuses to condemn hate crimes against minorities. Never mind the fact that none of this bears any relation to the truth; it has become a meme in LeftyWorld, so his critics will undoubtedly use this vote as just another bit of "evidence" that Trump is the second coming of Hitler.
For that reason, reports the Associated Press, the U.S. is expected to go out of its way to make sure our country condemns Nazism in clear terms.
"U.S. officials are working overtime this year to try to explain that no, America doesn't support pro-Nazi speech — but can't vote for a resolution that calls for outlawing it, either," the AP reports.

As Rule 3-1-6 states, a safe and stable platform for the first referee is required game equipment for the administration of every volleyball match. It is a shared responsibility to ensure the safety of our officials. Safe and stable platforms begin with careful assembly and attention to manufacturer guidelines by school athletic departments or event host management. It continues with proper inspection by the first referee prior to each match. The inspection should include height adjustments as mentioned in rule 3-1-6, but should also include inspection of the steps, attachment of the stand to the pole and proper installation as designed by the manufacturer to prevent any injuries to officials, players or fans. Officials should report any safety concerns to host management before the start of the match. Risk minimization is a team effort – proper care and installation by host management and thorough inspection by the first referee.
Risk minimization continues to be a priority for the NFHS Volleyball Rules Committee. Though volleyball continues to have one of the lowest injury rates of the 22 high school sports under surveillance, the growing number of concussions occurring during warm-ups as reported annually by the National High School Sports-Related Injury Surveillance System (High School RIO) has increased awareness regarding warm-up procedures before and during the match. It is imperative that each coach and state association examine their pre-game warm-up protocols to ensure best practices for prevention of not only concussions, but other injuries, as well. Some things to consider when establishing best practices are: facility space, shared court time, placement of athletes and those assisting with warm-ups, and familiarity of all team members with the warm-up procedures for the match. In addition to pre-game warm-ups, it should be noted that warming up between sets is allowed. Rule 11-5-3 clarifies that teams must remain on their side of the net, in their playable area. No hitting or serving is allowed and volleyballs may be used only on their own side of the playing area.
It is a core belief of the NFHS that student participation in education-based high school athletics and activities promotes respect, integrity and sportsmanship. Respect includes, but is not limited to, respect for self, country, school, the sport and all other participants. Consequently, it is the responsibility of coaches to teach and model respectful behavior in the way they treat all contest personnel. It is especially relevant that coaches model and teach respect for those who officiate the game, including line judges. Line judges may be paid contest officials, but many times are parents or even student-athletes serving as a volunteer on the officiating crew. Respect should be shown for line judges by bench personnel, fans, and coaches. Line judges (sanctioned or volunteers) are considered officials of the game. Line judges are not to be heckled, spoken to with defamatory comments or maligned in any way. Lack of respect toward line judges, or other officials, is cause for an Unsporting Conduct penalty.
Uniformity of signals given by officials allows for a better understanding of the game by coaches, players and fans. It also lends itself to a demonstration of professionalism by officials. When an official is signaling the number of a player who has committed a violation, the signal should be given using the hand on the side at fault, if the number to be given is five or less. If the number is greater than five, the right hand is the base hand. For double digit numbers, the first digit is shown with the right or both hands, and the second digit with left or both hands. The number should not be indicated by reaching across the body to the side at fault, but rather the official should step to the side at fault and present the number, if the number is larger than five. If the number is less than 5, the right or left hand may be used, dependent upon which hand is on the side at fault. As the universal language of officials, consistency in signaling the number of an offending player, allows for clear communication and more efficient match administration.


The Aston Martin Vanquish was only just reborn as a mid-engine supercar at this month's Geneva auto show, but the British brand already has big plans for the new car.
Speaking to Top Gear, CEO Andy Palmer said there is already a Vanquish AMR Pro and Volante (Aston Martin speak for "convertible") in the works. Each variant will house a hybrid V-6 that will be directly related to Aston Martin's V-12, he said. The Vanquish Volante will tackle the Lamborghini, Ferrari, and McLaren Spiders of the world, while the AMR Pro will be the high-performance variant. Think of it as Aston Martin's answer to the Huracán Performante and the like.
Palmer is convinced Aston Martin will have an easy time stealing sales from its rivals when the Vanquish enters production early next decade. Unlike Ferraris and Lamborghinis, he called the Vanquish "seductive" and said the car carries forward Aston Martin's design approach of "beauty" and "elegance." (Eds note: Shots fired, Andy.) He added the mid-engine cars provide hints for the next front-engine cars coming next decade. Specifically, the Vanquish's looks are a precursor to the DB12, which is due for replacement in 2024 based on the brand's eight-year model cycle.
The innards of the Vanquish can also be shared with the next DB12 and other front-engine cars, Palmer shared. The electrical system remains on loan from Daimler.
A lineup of Vanquish models that include the AMR Pro and Volante may turn Aston Martin into a bigger, luxury automaker. Palmer said he foresees selling 7,000 sports cars per year and another 7,000 SUVs, thanks to the forthcoming DBX. Aside from the Vanquish, the company will first launch its halo model, the Valkyrie hypercar, early next year. Following that will be the AM-RB 003 in 2021 before the Vanquish arrives in 2022.

Toilet Paper Is Free In Public Restrooms. Why Aren't Tampons?05:44
<iframe width="100%" height="124" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://player.wbur.org/hereandnow/2018/04/25/tampons-public-restrooms"></iframe>
April 25, 2018Updated Apr 25, 2018 3:46 PM
While toilet paper, paper towels and soap are freely provided in public restrooms, menstrual products are not. (Loic Venance/AFP/Getty Images)
This article is more than 1 year old.
Imagine entering a public bathroom stall and realizing it's missing something important — something like toilet paper.
What do you do? You might rush out to buy your own roll, or, more embarrassing, ask a stranger if they have any tissues to spare. It's not something men often think about — but it's how it could feel for a woman caught off guard by her period.
"The consequences of not having access to [menstrual] products are pretty humiliating, and really a loss of dignity," Free The Tampons founder Nancy Kramer (@NancyKramer) tells Here & Now's Eric Westervelt (@Ericnpr). "I mean you can, as we like to say, 'MacGyver' your own solution with a bunch of toilet paper, but that's certainly not ideal. Women run the risk of having blood-stained clothing in an environment where that's just disrespectful and humiliating."
Kramer's organization is trying to make feminine hygiene products freely available in locations outside the home.
"We don't expect people to walk around with rolls of toilet paper on them," she says. "I don't think we should expect people to walk around with tampons and pads on them."
On how she became an activist on this issue
"The first time I saw menstrual support products freely accessible in a public restroom was when I went to Apple's corporate headquarters way back in 1982. And I just thought this seemed like it made all the sense in the world, and I immediately instituted the policy in my own business, and I've been advocating for businesses and schools to follow suit ever since 1982."
"I think that if men got periods, frankly I don't think we'd be even having this discussion."
Nancy Kramer
On how common it is for women to be caught off guard in public by their period
"It can happen to anyone. I mean we don't have any idea exactly when our periods are going to come, it's not like, '2 o'clock on Tuesday, my period's going to come.' Our bodies simply don't work that way. So as I said, stress or other factors — travel, for me that was always something that really kind of messed me up. When the exact time is going to be, you don't now."
On her efforts to provide free feminine products all over, not just in places like schools
"As part of my advocacy I've been able to, for example in my hometown of Columbus, Ohio, been able to advocate for the airport. For example, when you fly in and out of John Glenn International Airport, you'll have access to menstrual support products in all the restrooms. Same thing with our convention center. Same thing for our shelters. And we're working on the schools here, but one step at a time."
On why toilet paper, soap and paper towels are free and widely available, and tampons aren't
"I think it's a lack of awareness. I also think that historically, men made the decisions for those types of items, and in defense of men, there's nothing that their body does that's exactly like a period. So it's very difficult for a man to relate to. There's just nothing that's the equivalent. But I think that as we are having more awareness around this issue, we're seeing these states saying, 'This isn't OK in schools,' and I think next we'll see it more in the restrooms. And my goal is, before I die, to have changed the socially accepted norm on this issue."
On what she says to those who argue everyone needs toilet paper, but not everyone needs menstrual products
"I think it's a matter of, what do we need to tend to our normal bodily functions? And menstruation is a normal bodily function that we have absolutely no control over. Again, I think that if men got periods, frankly I don't think we'd be even having this discussion."

Uncharacteristic Solid Win For The Buffalo Sabres
Dale Mussen
Dale Mussen Published: January 12, 2018
Linus Ullmark made 44 saves in a 3-1 win over Columbus (Getty Images)
In a matter of less than 48 hours the Buffalo Sabres went from their worst game of the season to one of their best. All of the things they didn't do against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday in an embarrassing loss they did do against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday in a 3-1 win.
The Sabres played with desperation at both ends of the ice especially in the first period - something that's been sorely lacking in their game all season. They scored the first goal of the game as a result of hard work then got a break on their second, something they haven't received a whole lot of this season.
Benoit Pouliot scored the opening goal after the Sabres attacked the net with Kyle Okposo and Jack Eichel getting the assists. Then they made it 2-0 when Columbus goaltender Sergei Bobrovski and defenseman Seth Jones both misplayed the puck to the side of the net and allowed Okposo to swoop in and deposit the puck into an empty net for what turned out to be the winning goal.
But most importantly the Sabres got great goaltending, something that has been highly suspect this season. Linus Ullmark stopped 44 of 45 shots in his first game with the Sabres this season after being called up from Rochester. He played with confidence and concentration and it certainly helped that he had a team in front of him playing with what coach Phil Housley said he wanted more of - urgency.
It'll be interesting to see if they can match the effort in the games and in the weeks to come. But we won't find out for another week because the Sabres are off on a mandatory 5-day break. Their next game is next Thursday in Madison Square Garden against the New York Rangers.

A Socialist's "On the Ground" View of Events in Egypt
Hossam el-Hamalawy
Mark LeVine a leftist professor of history at the University of California, Irvine, interviews Egyptian blogger and activist Hossam el-Hamalawy from the Center for Socialist Studies, for Al Jazeera
Even Glenn Beck and Frances Fox Piven get a mention.
Emphasis added.
Mark LeVine: Why did it take a revolution in Tunisia to get Egyptians onto the streets in unprecedented numbers?
Hossam el-Hamalawy: In Egypt we say that Tunis was more or less a catalyst, not an instigator, because the objective conditions for an uprising existed in Egypt, and revolt has been in the air over the past few years. Indeed, we already managed to have 2 mini-intifadas or "mini Tunisias" in 2008. The first was the April 2008 uprising in Mahalla, followed by another one in Borollos, in the north of the country.
Revolutions don't happen out of the blue. It's not because of Tunisia yesterday that we have one in Egypt mechanically the next day. You can't isolate these protests from the last four years of labour strikes in Egypt, or from international events such as the al-Aqsa intifada and the US invasion of Iraq. The outbreak of the al-Aqsa intifada was especially important because in the 1980s-90s, street activism had been effectively shut down by the government as part of the fight against Islamist insurgents. It only continued to exist inside university campuses or party headquarters. But when the 2000 intifada erupted and Al Jazeera started airing images of it, it inspired our youth to take to the streets, in the same way we've been inspired by Tunisia today.
Mark LeVine: What is the relationship between regional and local events here?
Hossam el-Hamalawy: You have to understand that the regional is local here. In 2000 the protests didn't started as anti-regime protests but rather against Israel and in support of Palestinians. The same occurred with the US invasion of Iraq three years later. But once you take to the streets and are confronted by regime violence you start asking questions: Why is Mubarak sending troops to confront protesters instead of confronting Israel? Why is he exporting cement to be used by Israel to build settlements instead of helping Palestinians? Why are police so brutal with us when we're just trying to express our solidarity with Palestinians in a peaceful manner? And so regional issues like Israel and Iraq were shifted to local issues. And within moments, the same protesters who chanted pro-Palestinian slogans started chanting against Mubarak. The specific internal turning point in terms of protests was 2004, when dissent turned domestic.
Mark LeVine: As you might have heard, in the US, the right wing talk show host Glenn Beck has gone after an elderly academic, Frances Fox Piven, because of an article she wrote calling on the unemployed to stage mass protests for jobs. She's even gotten death threats, some from unemployed people who seem happier fantasising about shooting her with one of their many guns than actually fighting for their rights. It's amazing to think about the crucial role of trade unions in the Arab world today considering more than two decades of neoliberal regimes across the region whose primary goal has been to destroy working class solidarity. Why have unions remained so important?
Hossam el-Hamalawy: Unions have always been proven to be the silver bullet for any dictatorship. Look at Poland, South Korea, Latin America and Tunisia. Unions were always instrumental in mass mobilisation. You want a general strike to overthrow a dictatorship, and there is nothing better than an independent union to do so.
Mark LeVine: Is there a larger ideological program behind the protests, or just get rid of Mubarak?
Hossam el-Hamalawy: Everyone has his or her reasons to take to the streets, but I would assume that if our uprising became successful and he's overthrown you'll start getting divisions. The poor will want to push the revolution to a much more radical position, to push the radical redistribution of wealth and to fight corruption, whereas the so-called reformers who want to put breaks and more or less lobby for change in top and curb powers of state a little bit but keep some essence of the state. But we're not there yet.
Mark LeVine: What is the role of the Muslim Brotherhood and how will its remaining aloof from the current protests impact the situation?
Hossam el-Hamalawy: The Brotherhood has been suffering from divisions since the outbreak of the al-Aqsa intifada. Its involvement in the Palestinian Solidarity Movement when it came to confronting the regime was abysmal. Basically, whenever their leadership makes a compromise with the regime, especially the most recent leadership of the current supreme guide, it has demoralised its base cadres. I know personally many young brothers who left the group, some of them have joined other groups or remained independent. As the current street movement grows and the lower leadership gets involved, there will be more divisions because the higher leadership can't justify why they're not part of the new uprising.
Mark LeVine: What about the role of the US in this conflict. How do people on the street view its positions?
Hossam el-Hamalawy: We don't expect anything from Obama, whom we regard as a great hypocrite. But we hope and expect the American people – trade unions, professors' associations, student unions, activist groups, to come out in support of us. What we want for the US government is to completely get out of the picture. We don't want any sort of backing; just cut aid to Mubarak immediately and withdraw backing from him, withdraw from all Middle Eastern bases, and stop supporting the state of Israel.
Ultimately, Mubarak will do whatever he has to do to protect himself. He will suddenly adopt the most anti-US rhetoric if he thought that would help him save his skin. At the end of the day he's committed to his own interests, and if he thinks the US won't support him, he'll turn somewhere else. The reality is that any really clean government that comes to power in the region will come into open conflict with the US because it will call for radical redistribution of wealth and ending support for Israel or other dictatorships. So we don't expect any help from America, just to leave us alone.

On Stage: Last Hurrah
by Chuck Conconi March 20, 2015
written by Chuck Conconi March 20, 2015
Comedic timing and a carefully chosen cast make National Theatre's 'Blithe Spirit' an effortless hit.

National Theatre's opening night audience for Noel Coward's "Blithe Spirit" came with an air of excitement and anticipation, mainly to see Angela Lansbury, and the legendary actress many only knew as the star of television's "Murder She Wrote," more than fulfilled every expectation.
There was also the added benefit in that Lansbury was part of a brilliant cast in a production smartly directed by Michael Blakemore that mastered every one of Coward's witty lines – the pacing and timing was perfect. Washington is the last stop on the "Blithe Spirit" tour, and 89-year-old Lansbury's last tour, but everything about the performance felt fresh and new, as though it was opening night moving on an extended tour.
Coward wrote "Blithe Spirit" in six days in 1941 to give Londoners something light and humorous in the opening years of World War II. In his farcical ghost story, his central character is socialite novelist, Charles (Charles Edwards who is familiar to those who watch "Downton Abby"). He invites Madam Arcati (Lansbury), a dotty, eccentric medium to his Kent home to conduct a séance. He is writing a novel about a murderous medium and is working on character development.
He invites another couple, Dr. Bradman (Simon Jones) and Mrs. Bradman (Sandra Shipley) to join him and his wife, Ruth (Charlotte Parry) to round out the séance. He advises them to maintain a serious demeanor so that Madam Arcati won't be upset by their skepticism about probing into the occult.
Madam Arcati is a role any actor would love and when an acting genius like Lansbury overtakes and dominates it, she takes the wacky medium character into flights of comedic brilliance. Lansbury starts the séance with a madcap, jerky dance that is like some avian mating ritual merged with movements that are reminiscent of Egyptian tomb carvings. The two couples have difficulty in controlling themselves.
Madam Arcati never has had much success in summoning the spirit world, but on this occasion she actually produces Charles's first wife who has been dead for seven years. Charles is the only one who can see Elvira (Melissa Woodbridge), a mischievous, fun-loving apparition who is the antithesis of the proper, straight-laced Ruth and wears a white diaphanous gown and a sassy, white, boyish-bob wig.
Even though they had a tempestuous marriage, Elvira concocts a scheme to have him join her in the spirit world by killing him in an accident. Inadvertently, however, her plan kills Ruth, who also returns, and the two wives battle, since Ruth is seeking revenge.
A desperate Charles calls for Madam Arcati to exercise the two troublesome ghosts. She is fascinated that she has had such an unexpected success, but after great effort fails to reverse the spell, it's revealed that there is another source of psychic power no one ever anticipated. Eventually, the spirits are sent back to wherever they were and Charles sneaks away just in time for the now invisible ghosts seeking revenge to destroy Simon Higlett's impressive, book-lined drawing room set.
Rounding out the cast is the delightfully comic Edith (Susan Louise O'Connor), the hapless servant. She steals nearly every scene as she rushes clumsy and incompetently in and out of the room. It's a minor, supporting role, but one that is happily anticipated.
It is almost unnecessary to say that Lansbury is wonderful. Her effortless control of the ditzy clairvoyant, in a red wig that tops off the colorful costumes by Martin Pakledinaz, is a treasured theatrical experience. This production of "Blithe Spirit" is special because of the pacing and comedic timing of a carefully chosen cast who understands Coward's clever writing. "Blithe Spirit" is one of the best touring shows to play the National in a long time.
"Blithe Spirit" continues through March 29 at The National Theatre, 1321 Pennsylvania Ave., NW. Tickets are $48-$138 and available at 800-514-3849 or online.

Senior revives girls' varsity basketball team
The Grace Prep Girls Varsity Basketball team. This team was on the verge of collapse, until Senior Trinity Hansen rescued the team from destruction.
By Kensley Walters 2 years ago
See the complete interview of the girls' varsity basketball team by Kensley Walters.
Junior DeAnna Bolton hugs Senior Trinity Hansen during an interview Kensley Walters conducted with the team. "I knew how hard Trinity practiced all summer and looked for basketball camps for us to attend and I didn't want her to have no team at all," said Bolton. "I really wanted to try to have a team to play for Trinity."
What most senior athletes have in common is the hope of having a final season to remember. For senior Trinity Hansen, this dream didn't come easy.
Four girls from our varsity basketball team left either the school or the team after the first semester here.
Even our coach left.
Hansen thought to herself, "What do I do now? I have no coach. I barely have a team. What am I supposed to do?"
Not one to stay down, Hansen knew it was going to take a lot more for her to throw in the towel. She began to recruit her friends and classmates to be a member of the team.
We were only going to have a 4 man team, and that's not how you play basketball," joked Junior Jaylah Suggs.
Chiming in, Junior Kennedy Phillips said, "Yes, Trinity was ready and willing to play post, guard, and referee, but we couldn't let her do that [team laughs]."
The team was down to five players Juniors DeAnna Bolton, Phillips, Suggs, Senior Charli Abendroth, and Hansen with no coach.
"It was really a scary moment, but we all just prayed about it, thought about it and it all just kind of came together, and I couldn't be happier about this team," said Hansen looking around at her 10 teammates and one manager as Suggs grabs her hand and smiles.
Team moment together thanking Hansen (back row right, head bowed) for bringing them together this season. "Raise your hand if Trinity invited you to play this season…Wow, 6 of you," said Walters (left bottom row) in the interview.
All six of the newcomer teammates admit they are playing this year because Trinity asked them to. Two newcomers who were recruited by Trinity never even played before.
"So Ashtyn and I were in government class and Trinity asked us to come to practice and just try it out. And I was like, Ashtyn if you go, I'll go," Senior Rachel Gerich said with a laugh, looking at Ashtyn. "So we asked what time practice was and Trinity said don't worry, I'll bring you basketball shoes, and I said great, because I don't even know how to play! So it was really scary."
"Yeah, and she brought us shoes!" laughs Ashtyn.

Some girls, Like Trinity, have remained loyal to the basketball team from the beginning.
"I really wanted to do this for Trinity because I saw her going to all these basketball camps this summer and I didn't want all her hard work to go to waste because there was no team at all," said Bolton.
The girls also displayed an enormous amount of gratitude towards the coach.
"We also really owe a lot of thanks to our coach, Carlee Howard, because that's really hard for someone to come in and take on all these problems, but she really stuck with us and saw our potential, and we are all so grateful that she was willing to stick with us and coach us," said Suggs.
Team gets ready to take the court. Team unity has never been stronger for our varsity girls' basketball program, according to them.
Other girls believe that winning wasn't the only goal during the season, but it was the experience that brought them together as a team.
"Our season didn't just become about basketball. It was about us coming together as a team." said Senior Ashtyn Houston.
Sophomore Kate Toulouse agreed, saying "This experience really melded us together as a team. I really consider you all my sisters."
"My favorite part of the season was just finishing our work, and then talking to each other about life," said Senior Charli Abendroth.
Senior Trinity Hansen goes for the shot against Cristo Rey. Lady lions won this game by 20 points.
Senior Beth West, the team manager, said she appreciates how encouraging the team is to each other, including her with her when she made her 3-point-shot.
As the team's season concludes, the girls say they will always consider themselves close friends. All of them are extremely thankful that an unfortunate incident brought them together and created a blessing in disguise.

Creative ideas can give a new purpose to something that would have otherwise been discarded.
That was the theme of the Can Do Communities display at the Smart Building and Living Festival in Buninyong on Sunday.
Kerrie Tomkins demonstrated ways to breathe new life into second hand furniture and homewares at the expo, transforming old furniture to a bright new feature for her home.

I try to make the least amount of waste as possible. Everything is repurposed or upcycled.
- Kerrie Tomkins
Ms Tomkins said it has been years since she has purchased any new furniture. Up-cycling the old has saved her hundreds of dollars and reduced her waste.
"If I decide I don't like the decor or the colours aren't right I will make a change by painting it or reupholstering it," she said.
"Even down to a doona cover, I use the old ones for Boomerang Bags. I try to make the least amount of waste as possible. Everything is re-purposed or up-cycled. I could go for over a month without putting bins out."
Ms Tomkins uses chalk paint that is easy to use, dries quickly and has no odour.

She said her work attracted a lot of interest at the expo on Sunday, with many people stopping to chat saying they were inspired to have a go at up-cycling their own furniture because it looked so easy to do.
"My suggestion is to get something small and mess around with it," she said.
"I buy a tin of white chalk paint and tubes of acrylic paint and mix up my own colours. Just have a go. If you get something that is small and cheap from the op shop to start you get to build your confidence."
The Grampians Central West Waste and Resource Recovery Group Can Do Community Program display also showed expo visitors how small appliances can be fixed, how sewing repairs can help garments last longer, how to care and repair for books and other ideas to reduce waste like community composting and community gardens.

Executive officer La Vergne Lehmann said the program was about building community capacity to reduce waste.
"We are very excited about showing the community how easy it to get some of these activities happening and how they can help reduce our waste, save money and bring a community together at the same time," she said.
More than 1500 people attended the Smart Building and Living Expo at Royal Park, a substantial increase on attendance last year.
Around 70 businesses and community groups were involved in stalls and displays.

Expo director Andrea Mason said there was a growing interest in sustainability and more people looking to create greener lifestyle habits.
"There has definitely been a shift based on a lot of good work being done in this space on the back of war against waste, the waste issue in general, energy prices and everyone is picking up on it now. Once upon a time sustainability was something that was scoffed at," she said.
"The people who come to these expos are hungry for knowledge. The feedback from the stallholders were they were getting a lot of questions and people were looking for that information so they could make changes.
"We hope people are able to take what they have learnt and put it into action and build on that in future. I see very clear need to address climate change. People need to be able to do that in a way that fits in with their lifestyles. I believe in the power of consumers to drive change."

Smart Building and Living Expo 2019 - a 'Can Do' kind of day!
Over 1500 people strolled through the Smart Building and Living Expo in Buninyong this year on February 24, 2019. Perhaps it was the beautiful weather or the fantastic range of stalls and electric vehicles but there was definitely a positive vibe this year. Around 70 businesses and community groups were involved in stalls and displays.
A feature of this years' event was the 'Can Do Communities' display where creative ideas showed how to give a new purpose to something that would have otherwise been discarded.
Second hand furniture and homewares were transformed into pieces that will become a bright new feature in homes. Many people stopped to chat to the stallholders saying they were inspired to have a go at up-cycling their own furniture because it looked so easy to do.
Old materials, saved from landfill, were used to make Boomerang Bags. A community push to reduce the need for plastic bags while we shop and reduce the waste we put out in our bins.

Community Program display also showed expo visitors how small appliances can be fixed, how sewing repairs can help garments last longer, how to care and repair for books and other ideas to reduce waste like community composting and community gardens.

"We are very excited about showing the community how easy it to get some of these activities happening and how they can help reduce our waste, save money and bring a community together at the same time," she said.
The electric vehicle displays once again drew lots of interest and the Australian Electric Vehicle Association was on hand to answer questions. "As more car companies switch to producing electric models, it is only a matter of time before they are the norm' one enthusiast said, "and it is exciting to see the push for an electric plug station here in Buninyong."
There was also a great range of building and lifestyle stalls. The container house created some excitement, but others loved the straw bale house and sustainable housing designers. Energy assessors were there showing people how to improve their existing homes and the windows and insulation experts were kept busy too.

Window Rock, Ariz, – Every year during the fair and parade season, the Division of Behavioral & Mental Health Services (DBMHS) sets up shop to outreach and provide information at the Kids and Seniors Days. DBMHS had set up booths and gave out fun promotional items and also built floats for the Navajo Nation, Northern Navajo, and the Western Navajo parades.
DBMHS is fostering health and harmony in native communities by providing comprehensive, integrated and culturally appropriate behavioral and mental health services. It is important to reach native youth at a young age to promote prevention and educate them on how they can face and overcome challenges. DBMHS also wants to celebrate native youth all those involved in their development.
"We're bringing awareness about all our programs, reaching out to the youth, showcasing what we do, how we can promote and prevent all the different issues that kids kids go through," explained prevention specialist, Karina Watson. "We also want to celebrate them for their academic achievements and show appreciation to teachers and bus drivers."
"It's really important for DBMHS to connect with the youth because that's where prevention starts," she continued. "When you look at the spectrum prevention is the very first thing that we do here, especially for kids. We try to talk about the issues, we try to reach them in the school's after school programs and activities that go on in the communities, plus the stuff out we put on to talk about prevention."
The Navajo Nation Fair also celebrates Seniors Day simultaneously with Kids Day to honor and appreciate Navajo elders who have contributed to the nation over many years and continue to be a wealth of wisdom for the Navajo people. DBMHS wants to support navajo elders by offering clinical counseling from both traditional and faith-based perspectives.
"We decided to participate in the Seniors Day event because it's very important that our elder know about our services," explained prevention specialist, Alberta Curley. "Some of them or their peers might be struggling with addiction or depression and might not know where they can reach out to. Our program is very unique because of our clinical Services and counseling, we also have traditional and faith-based services and counselors."
"Also we can point them in the right direction with other services from other programs whom might be better fit or are in their area," she continued. "Many of the elders come in for grief counseling because they lost a loved one. They look for those traditional services or sometimes they just want someone to listen and laugh with them."
For more information about the Division of Behavioral & Mental Health Services or to make an appointment, call (928) 871-6240/6235.

New single 'Tongue tied' out now
"Tongue Tied is an edgy, dark exploration into my brain that dives into the idea of stress & release. A sexually driven, stress-relieving, tension building song that's short and to the point." - Mint Simon
NEW SINGLE 'SOME OF EVERYTHING' OUT NOW
The inspiration behind this song was me diving deeper and deeper into my truths. I've realized over the years that my sexual orientation and my gender are both extremely fluid and for a while it was a real challenge to understand it. Writing this song was a push to remind myself that this is something to be celebrated, and that I want to celebrate it with all my other non-box-fitting queers and that I don't need any one label to make my identity real. Liking some of everything, being some of everything - it only brings me joy at this point.
DEBUT SINGLE 'USED FOR LOVE' OUT NOW
"Used For Love is a love letter to myself, a reminder that there is nothing wrong with indulging in pleasure. It's a love letter to all the lovers on the other end of the phone, and a love letter to desire. I can never do anything without tugging at my own heart strings. It has always been my intention to be fully myself, but over the last few years I realized how much I was hiding my identity. It took some major life decisions and a global pandemic to shake me into the person I've been thriving to be and I feel ready now more than ever to show the world who I really am and Used For Love is just the beginning of my new pop journey."
