West Side Story UK Tour | LittleEllieMae Review
As I've mentioned before, I am a bit of a (huge) musical theatre fanatic. I've been going to the theatre every year since I was about 6 years old and my love for musicals has grown up with me.
So far this year I have been lucky enough to see Singing In The Rain and Cats, and this week I went to watch West Side Story at the Theatre Royal Plymouth.
I've seen the film of West Side Story a few times before, but its never really stuck out as one of my favourites (in comparison to Singing In The Rain and Calamity Jane etc.) so I was somewhat skeptical over how the musical would be.
West Side Story is the modern tale inspired by 'Romeo and Juliet'. It is set in the 1950s where there is a constant battle between two gangs (The Sharks, who are from Puerto Rico and The Jets, from New York). However, Tony who is one of The Jets falls in love with Maria, the younger sister of Bernardo, the leader of The Sharks. This, as you can imagine, causes a huge disputes between all sides.
My family and I were lucky enough to have seats which were on the second row from the stage which was really exciting. I love being sat close to the stage as you can really see every little detail which makes everything seem so much more intense; I could see the way the actors punched in the stage- fights and the points of their toes in the dance routines. It made me feel as if I were in the story myself.
To get to the point, I absolutely loved the show. From the music and dancing to the costumes and script. Everything was great and performed so tremendously by the amazing cast.
I actually went to see the show twice in a week! The first time I went with my family, Matthew Hawksley took on the role of Riff, the leader of The Jets, whereas the second time I went to see it Jack Wilcox played his original role and Matthew returned to playing Action. I liked both actors in this role as they both have such phenomenal voices, particularly in the 'Jet Song' but I think I preferred Matthew Hawksley as Riff as he brought an element of such intensity to the role which I think is very faithful to the character of Riff.
The casting for this show was just perfect. In particular Katie Hall, who played Maria, and Louis Maskell, who played Tony, had so much chemistry in addition to some of the most powerful yet beautiful voices I have ever heard in musical theatre. Their rendition 'Tonight' gave me goosebumps each time I heard it.
My favourite scene of the show has to be the dance at the gym where it was an explosion of intense dance routines between The Jets and The Sharks. Sometimes I didn't know where to look as there was so much going on but the dancing was just so on point, it was faultless. These actors were all obviously well professionally trained, as they perfected every single move.
The song that I loved most in the show was probably 'Gee, Officer Krupke' which just made me laugh every time as The Jets make fun of the police officer. It got the whole auditorium laughing, giving the show a bit more warmth between the murders and heart- break. But of course, the songs like 'Somewhere' and 'Maria' were beautifully sung and just as great.
Another thing that I have to point out about the West Side Story show is the attention to detail. One of the parts that stands out most prominently for me is when Action (Matthew Hawksley) and one of The Sharks are having a fist fight; Action dives on top of the Puerto Rican through the air stunningly, with his toes pointed perfectly and hands in a strong in- flight position, it was as if time had stopped right there and then. Detailed and obviously well rehearsed things like that happened all through the show and it didn't fail to amaze me.
I'm going to wrap up this slightly longer post than usual now, but I will be doing another one about the costumes, makeup and hair of the West Side Story tour show very soon- so keep and eye out for that!
West Side Story UK Tour is travelling around the country now, so go and check it out! You will not regret it!

Precision in dental components, such as dental implants, is extremely critical to the success of the procedure. Precise dimensional control of the implants themselves ensures a long-lasting fit and an optimum outcome for the patient. Dental implants are typically manufactured on Swiss turning equipment which produces the best dimensional results with ultra-precise ground titanium and stainless steel bar.
Precision ground titanium and stainless steel machining bars from Boston Centerless enable dental implant manufacturers to achieve excellent dimensional integrity on a production basis.

I stop at Two Boots Pizza on 7th Ave & Greenwich (NYC) to grab a slice and in their window display were 2 fireman boots. OK, makes sense, right? In the boots were decorative tree branches. On the branches was a string of baseball shaped holiday lights, with the Mets logo on the baseballs. Also on the branches were mardi gras beads. And finally, sticking out of the boots were two rainbow flags.

Negative interest rates could push banks to charge businesses for deposits
26/07/2016 in Market Insight
1 person found this useful
NatWest has written to businesses to warn it may have to charge to accept deposits if interest rates are cut below 0%.
When interest rates go below 0% the relationship between banks and customers becomes reversed. In this situation the customer has to pay the bank for holding money. If interest rates are cut below zero, it will the be the first time this has happened in the UK.
The letter has fueled speculation the Bank of England will cut interest rates below 0.5% on August 4.
Interest rates have stayed at 0.5% since May 2009.
Industry experts expected the Bank of England to cut rates in July, but they remained at 0.5%.
In a letter to business customers, Natwest said: "Global interest rates remain at very low levels and this could result in us charging interest on credit balances."
Bank of England governor Mark Carney has said he does not approve of interest rates falling below 0.25%.
However, Dr Martin Weale, an independent member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, told the Financial Times he had changed his mind about cutting rates and now favours a stimulus package to boost the UK's economy following a series of negative business surveys tracking confidence levels.
Weale has reversed his stance from comments he made a week ago calling for "firmer evidence" before making a decision on cutting the rate.

• Tickets include general admission
Due to limitations of space in this popular exhibition, masks are required for the safety of our guests and staff.
Alexander Calder and Pablo Picasso—two of the foremost figures in 20th-century art—come together for a fascinating encounter in this presentation. The internationally traveling exhibition features paintings, sculptures, mobiles, and works on paper spanning the artists' careers.
Calder-Picasso explores the artists' prolific affinities as it reveals the radical innovation and enduring influence of their art. Conceived by the artists' grandsons, the exhibition focuses on Calder's and Picasso's exploration of the void, or absence of space. Calder explored the absence of mass in his sculptures, and Picasso expressed contortions of time in his figurative work.
American artist Calder (1898–1976) and Spanish artist Picasso (1881–1973) both headed to Paris as young artists: Picasso in 1900 and Calder in 1926. Though their lives and work shared many parallels, the two men were not close, known to have met on only four occasions. Calder and Picasso were both engaged by the relationship of volume to space, and both pursued simplification to arrive at the essence of a subject.

We are working every day to become a more inclusive university at which faculty, students, and staff of all backgrounds feel welcome, comfortable, valued, and supported. We do not pay lip service with these efforts; we are making structural changes in policy and practice across the university.
As you know, there are hundreds of tribal affiliations in the United States, and being Native American means something different for everyone – indeed, members of many tribes reject that term as an identifier. There is a lot of progress we can still make toward building relationships with regional tribes, welcoming Native American students, faculty, and staff to campus, and further valuing and amplifying the Native voices already a part of the Trojan community.
Today, I want to share with you the concrete steps we have taken over the past year toward achieving these goals.
The USC Native American Student Union coordinated and hosted an eight-week Pow Wow workshop for Los Angeles Unified School District Native American students. We connected prospective Native American students with USC faculty and mentors on campus. We supported more than 60 prospective students with their USC applications by guiding them through the process and offering feedback on their personal statements. We offered visiting tribes specialized campus tours, as well as tickets to USC football games.
And we also did outreach – USC staff were present at college days on tribal lands throughout the Pacific Northwest and Southwest.
This progress was driven by the tireless efforts of Karras Wilson (Quechan/Cocopah), who advises the Native American Student Union. I want to thank him personally.
I also want to thank Vanessa Gomez Brake at the Office of Religious Life, who led the ASB Navajo Nation trip, continues to support student groups of all backgrounds, and leads many of our inclusivity and wellness efforts.
I welcome your ideas on how we can better support students from American tribes at uscprovost@usc.edu.

Ask yourself what it is that you truly want to have happen. Do you want to be heard, or do you want to crush the other person? Do you want change or revenge?
Decide how you want to feel after you express your assertive communication. Do you want to feel ashamed or embarrassed? Or do you want to feel like you have a better understanding of the person you were angry at? Do you truly want to solve a problem?
Keep a civil tone throughout. Nobody likes to be shouted at, and, besides, the message gets lost when the volume goes up.
Be respectful. No rolling of your eyes, finger-pointing, cussing, lecturing, or sighing.
If your problems with anger are fairly severe, assertiveness can be hard to achieve at first. Wait to use it until you've made progress with managing your anger first.

Q: A pythonic way to take a dictionary as input and return a sub-dictionary as output I am looking for the most pythonic way to take a dictionary and a key name as input, and return the dictionary without the key (and the associated value) as output.
This is what I came up with so far:
def SubDict(inputDict,inputkey):
    return dict([(key,val) for key,val in inputDict.iteritems() if key != inputkey])

Test case:
print SubDict({'a':1,'b':2,'c':3},'b')

Gives:
{'a': 1, 'c': 3}

Are there any better suggestions (cleaner and/or simpler code)?
Thank you.

A: Well, your comprehension might as well be replaced with a dictionary display:
{key:val for key,val in inputDict.iteritems() if key != inputkey}

But it might actually be faster to copy and remove, as a lookup is O(1). Because of the filter, Python won't know in advance the size of the dictionary, and the hash table might become costly to grow.
def SubDict(inputDict, inputkey):
    subdict = inputDict.copy()
    del subdict[inputkey]
    return subdict

This is also fairly readable.
If you want to silently ignore the case when inputkey is not found, you can replace the del with subdict.pop(inputkey, None). This provides a default value (which we ignore) rather than do a double check.

A: How about this, an alternative way:
d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

def filtered_dict(inputdict, inputkey):
    return dict(zip(filter(lambda x: x != inputkey, inputdict), inputdict.values()))

{'a': 1, 'c': 3}

%timeit SubDict(d, 'b')
The slowest run took 10.13 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached.
1000000 loops, best of 3: 306 ns per loop

%timeit filtered_dict(d, 'b')
The slowest run took 7.26 times longer than the fastest. This could mean that an intermediate result is being cached.
100000 loops, best of 3: 3.02 µs per loop

Electric Wizard – Time to Die Review
On September 29, 2014 By JF Williams
"Electric Wizard suffers from a curse that afflicts any band fortunate to have an album deemed a "classic" in its catalog. These Dorset natives happen to have two: their second and third records Come, My Fanatics… and Dopethrone remain genre-defining records within the doom metal subgenre, spawning more than a couple imitators and rightfully earning them the cheeky title of "The Heaviest Band in the Universe." I think it's fair to say that Electric Wizard knocked it far out of the park with those records, and the problem is always rooted in following up." The lords of dope doom have returned for their dopethrone.
Joy – Under the Spell of Joy Review
On August 22, 2014 By JF Williams
"Joy takes "retro" seriously. I'm sure most of our readers are familiar with the morass of "retro" groups that exclusively write music with a deaf ear to everything recorded after a particular golden time in the history of heavy metal, but this San Diego power trio set back the clock to a time pre-dating the genre entirely, recalling when Black Sabbath was a blues band and "heavy metal" existed only as a Steppenwolf lyric." Set the machine for 1 B.S.D. (before Steel Druhm).
Bölzer – Soma Review
On August 2, 2014 By JF Williams
"Bölzer know that time is precious and quality cheap in today's oversaturated music climate. Armed with three songs clocking in at about 23 minutes, the Swiss duo more than charmed the metal community and earned themselves a slot right at the forefront of extreme metal hopefuls dwelling in the underground with their 2013 EP, Aura. Bölzer is back and JF Williams is back with them.
Panopticon – Roads to the North Review
On July 29, 2014 By JF Williams
"With 2012's Kentucky, Panopticon became among the most interesting black metal projects operating in the U.S. Unlike many USBM lynchpins that stubbornly ape the sound and ethos of their Scandinavian influences, Austin Lunn's one-man black metal project took a full-fledged approach to the genre as tied to his own home and hearth of Kentucky as that of his Scandinavian forefathers. For those out of the loop, the result was an ambitious, politically-charged concept album centered around Kentucky's blood-soaked history of coal mining, soundtracked by an unprecedented mix of black metal and bluegrass music." Black metal and bluegrass sounds as good a mix as peanut butter and mayonnaise, but hey, you gotta try it to know!
Wolves in the Throne Room – Celestite Review
On July 8, 2014 By JF Williams
"It may be somewhat reasonable to assume a skeptical stance in the face of Wolves in the Throne Room's decision to embark into purely ambient territories. The Cascadian black metal sibling duo found its niche making hypnotically atmospheric black metal that sprinkled soundscape ambiance with its uniquely life-affirming take on the most unholy of metals, and with disgraced black metal pioneer Varg Vikernes continuing to do his very best to sever the few threads remaining of Burzum's musical legacy with his excruciating "video game loading screen" music, I don't think anyone was particularly thrilled at the prospect of the brothers Weaver ditching their black metal signature." Video game loading music...HA!
Mastodon – Once More 'Round the Sun Review
On June 25, 2014 By JF Williams
"Mastodon's 2011 record The Hunter represented a significant, if predictable, turning point in their career. Having earned a respectable degree of mainstream popularity and critical acclaim through heady, yet accessible psychedelic sludge records, Mastodon very deliberately decided to meet their peaking success by transforming into essentially a heavy rock band. The prog had reached critical mass, but Mastodon clearly had one thing left to prove in their ever-shifting sonic palate, and that is their capacity for radio-rock stardom." So... are they rock stars now? Bigger than GaGa?
Rippikoulu – Ulvaja Review
"Two decades ago, a young troupe of bummed-out Finns churned out two primitive death/doom demo tapes, and promptly disappeared following the death of one of their guitar players. Rippikoulu's latter release, 1993's primitive doom/death gem Musta seremonia, followed suit with other short-lived doom/death groups from the early 90s by accruing a great deal of kvlt charm cultivated by many years dwelling in obscurity and anonymity." Back from dead, we get some old timey doom/death right out of Finland.
The Atlas Moth – The Old Believer Review
On June 6, 2014 By JF Williams
"The Atlas Moth is not your average "genre" band. More than being another entry in the long list of throwaway stoner doom acts, the Chicagoan five-piece's sophomore LP An Ache for the Distance was a gorgeously rendered amalgam of sinewy sludge, painterly post-metal and heavy-handed psychedelia; a lushly psychedelic heavy metal record impossible to pigeonhole and just as easy to love. It's the kind of record that screams "classic" in its first couple of seconds and could possibly reaffirm one's faith in modern metal." Can this release entrench The Atlas Moth as the savior of modern metal?
Eyehategod – Eyehategod Review
On May 21, 2014 By JF Williams
"Eyehategod's new self-titled record is one born out of tribulation. Pulling it together to pen a new record 14 years after the release of its predecessor Confederacy of Ruined Lives, the incumbent kings of drug-addled sludge metal miserablism have gone through a litany of troubles, including poverty, drug withdrawal, prison time and an apocalyptic natural disaster." Trials and tribulations can't keep Eyehategod from returning to sic the gators of despair on you once again.
Teitanblood – Death Review
"It's hard to know exactly what to say about a record when the band itself provides a more succinct - and honest - characterization of it in their own promo language than I ever could have: "The second Teitanblood album corrects the misconception about death metal being music. Mortui vivos docent." Well, there you have it. Clearly, intellectualization is completely redundant when writing about a band like the Spanish death/black duo Teitanblood. You either get it, or you don't." There you have it indeed.

Deep Tissue Massage is applied in a systematic way, concentrating on the deeper layers of the body's soft tissues. It aims to release chronic patterns of tension in the body, through slow strokes and deep pressure on the contracted area(s). Deep tissue massage therapy is therapeutic as well as corrective, and done properly should cause neither excessive pain for the client nor strain for the therapist. Working deeply does not equate with working harder or with more effort, but is the result of specific deep tissue massage techniques combined with knowledge of the different layers of the body's soft tissues.
The term is often used by therapists to indicate that they use strong pressure, and won't just be stroking oil onto the skin. However deep tissue work is not just about the amount of pressure used; it's true intention is to work on all the layers of the body's soft tissues and particularly the structure which covers and encases them - the fascia. Injury, illness or prolonged immobility can cause fascia to become stiff, hardened or stuck to adjacent structures. This in turn causes pain, reduced mobility and impaired function.
Portions of a treatment can be uncomfortable at times with the possibility of pain, however, a good massage therapist should always respect your pain tolerance levels, and will work with you to find a level of pressure that is comfortable for you.
Massage techniques for include the use of knuckles, fists, elbows, and forearms. The pace of a deep tissue massage session is usually slower than that of other massage work, to enable the therapist to pick up information from the client's tissues, assess the best way to address the tension and contractions found, and apply careful and sensitive pressure in order to achieve a comfortable and lasting release.
Pain and stiffness in the muscles and joints can be caused by long-term muscle tension, postural imbalance, overuse and injury. All these things can cause muscle fibers to become shortened, tiny pockets of scar tissue to form (fibrosis), and larger areas of scar tissue will get laid down as an injury heals. Shortened muscle fibers also result in reduced blood flow to the area, and inefficient removal of metabolic waste products by the lymphatic system. The net result of this is areas of the soft tissues that become stiff, hardened, and "glued together" in contracted bands - adhesion Normal movement becomes impossible, and stiffness and pain set in. Deep tissue massage works by gently but firmly working across these bands to separate the tissues again, to lengthen shortened and contracted soft tissue structures, and to encourage efficient circulation to and from the affected area.
The technique usually focuses on specific areas. It can be offered in combination with other styles of massage, as a whole-body treatment or concentrated in one area, for example the lower back or shoulders. Your therapist will work with you to find a comfortable level of pressure, and will work with your breathing to help minimize discomfort and get the best possible release from the tissues.
When a deep tissue massage is done correctly, the benefits are experienced within the next few days. You may feel rejuvenated, or a bit sore, depending on the particular therapy session. Any stiffness or pain experienced after a deep tissue massage is a completely normal reaction and should subside within 24-72 hours.

Massage is really helpful for the body. It reduces body pain and also relax all muscles as well as our mind too. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your comment. It is great to get pain relief, relaxed and feel good again about ourselves. Regular health maintenance is very important, just like we send in our vehicles for regular tuning up. It keeps us going for longer time! I really hope Alberta Health Care or I should say the Canadian Health Care can include massage as well as other natural healing programs into the health care system, so that all Canadian residents can benefit. And I believe in long term, it will cut down our expensive health care cost as preventing disease is way more effective and cheaper compared to treating a disease.
Nice healthy information you have shared on Deep Tissue Massage for healthy life. Thank you for your healthy support.
Thanks for your comments. I am glad you find this helpful. Living a painless, healthy long life is everyone's dream.
Working deeply does not equate with working harder or with more effort, but is the result of specific deep tissue massage techniques combined with knowledge of the different layers of the body's soft tissues.
Yes, you are absolutely correct. It is never "more pain more gain". The purpose of massage is to relax muscles, stimulate more blood flow and relieve pain. Also everyone wants to have an enjoyable experience. Not walk out feeling beaten up. That is why we customize each massage session and use combination techniques to help you address different concerns.

The pace of a deep tissue massage session is usually slower than that of other massage work, to enable the therapist to pick up information from the client's tissues, assess the best way to address the tension and contractions found, and apply careful and sensitive pressure in order to achieve a comfortable and lasting release.

Hybrid Clean Energy Installations
By Ugonna Agbafe
Share to Facebook Share to LinkedIN Share to Twitter
Innovations are being made in the clean energy industry
Installations are beginning to be mixed-use in order to maximize energy generation
We are all familiar with the main forms of renewable energy. From wind to solar to tidal, these have been around for decades. As we've progressed, the focus has primarily been on improving energy harnessing technology and making utilization financially competitive with fossil fuels. In addition, we are now beginning to see a focus on integrating different forms of renewables together in order to maximize the efficiency of energy installations.
A Revolutionary Idea
The energy company SINN has recently come up with a revolutionary idea. They have developed plans for a floating platform able to harness solar, wind, and wave energy. The platform is rectangular in shape with 4 buoys at its corners that raise it above the water surface. The four corners have installations akin to wind turbines to generate wind energy. The middle of the platform lying above water has solar panels. The middle of the platform below water generates energy from waves. SINN has made the platform to be easily installable and capable of withstanding the natural wear-and-tear of being in ocean water. This could be a major game-changer for coastal regions, and in regards to progress in the clean energy industry.
While promising, there are still a few obstacles that need to be overcome before these platforms can be installed and integrated into our energy supply systems. The platform needs to undergo much more testing. As of now, there are plans for this to occur in waters off the coast of Greece in the near future. Aside from testing energy efficiency, it will also be important to see how well the platforms can hold up in water over long periods of time. Outside of technical hurdles, there are many unknowns in regards to financial feasibility. In order two be installed, these will need to be competitive price-wise with alternative energy options that aren't as clean. Finally, the environmental impact of these platforms must be assessed. Our marine ecosystems are delicate so extreme care must be taken before we do anything in our oceans.
Overall the future for renewable energy looks bright. Over time, renewables are becoming more affordable and the technology is quickly being improved. Positive change is on the horizon. Have wealth with impact and join Physis today to make a difference!

MOF water harvesting technology one of ten innovations that could change the world

The MOF is inside the interior box, and the foil-wrapped top is designed to keep the outer box cool enough to condense the water vapor driven from the MOF by sunlight. (Photo credit: Stephen McNally)
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has released the results of its first search for the Top Ten Emerging Technologies in Chemistry. Initiated as a special activity in honor of IUPAC's 100th anniversary this year, the results have been published in the 2019 April-June 2019 issue of Chemistry International. Research from the lab of Omar Yaghi at UC Berkeley on water harvesting from desert air technology has been featured as one of the top 10.
According to the United Nations (UN), water scarcity affects more than 40% of the global population and is projected to rise. On top of that, three in ten people lack access to safely-managed drinking water services.
Chemistry could bring a solution to this problem identified by the United Nations as Sustainable Development Goal 6 "to change our world" using porous materials, particularly metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Porous materials like MOFs have a sponge-like chemical structure with microscopic spaces that can selectively trap molecules, from gases—hydrogen, methane, carbon dioxide, water—to more complex substances, such as drugs and enzymes.
While some researchers were focusing on the uses of MOFs in drug delivery and gas purification, Omar Yaghi accidentally discovered their great potential in capturing water from the atmosphere. "When we were studying the trapping of post-combustion gases uptake into MOFs, we noticed that some MOFs exhibited a unique interaction with water molecules," explains Yaghi. Then, they wondered whether the same material could be used to trap water from the atmosphere in arid climates, and then be released easily for collection." This technology is unique because, "It can harvest drinkable amounts of pure water from the dry desert air with no energy required other than the natural sunlight," says Yaghi.
Just one kilogram of MOF could harvest 2.8 liters of water a day at a humidity level as low as 20%. While working on higher capacity, potentially cheaper versions of the water-harvesting materials, Yaghi is "already partnering with companies to test their MOF water harvesters on an industrial scale." There are other porous materials such as silica-based and inorganic porous solids, and biomimetic porous surfaces that could absorb water from the atmosphere. However, Yaghi argues, most of them are either not as productive as MOFs in taking up water from low humidity air, or require tremendous amount of energy to release the trapped water. MOFs have significant advantages in that regard over other materials and a great potential for making this a sustainable and practical technology to realize off-grid personalized water production, therefore ensuring the progress towards one of the most important UN goals—achieving access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all.

Jacob could use some help. Please research the article's assertions. Whatever is credible should be sourced, and what is not should be removed.
Jacob pretending to be ali Baba's granddad.
Jacob (Hebrew: יַעֲקֹב) is the third of the three patriarchs of the Jewish faith, "Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." Jacob, after encountering an angel of the Lord and wrestling with it, changes his name to Israel, "He that has struggled with god." It is with Jacob that God makes a covenant to give him and the Israelites the territory that will be known as "Israel." His 12 sons would become the namesakes for the 12 Tribes of Israel.
1 Jacob's legacy as the "right to the land of Israel"
Jacob's legacy as the "right to the land of Israel"
Jacob is truly the best role model for all Christian family value types, especially those looking for any "out" for all those misdeeds.
Jacob understands that lies done in the pursuit of the "greater good" (at least his own greater good) are acceptable; he lies in order to gain his father's blessing and the land given to the first born. In a rather elaborate lie that could not just be discounted as "heat of the moment", Jacob dresses in costume, disguises his voice, and begs for the blessing.
Jacob has no problem manipulating people: First he convinces his mother to help with his lie to Isaac, his father, then he convinces his wife to steal for him, taking the family idols from his father-in-law's home, bringing blessings to himself instead.
In Islam, Jacob (or Ya'qub) is revered as a prophet of Allah and patriarch of Islam. However, Muslims, recognizing that lying is not really such a great thing, edit the story of the received blessing so that Jacob earns it, not lies for it. They also change the story of the sheep to be more upfront with Jacob explaining that if he can produce a better sheep through feeding and breeding than his father-in-law, he is allowed to keep them.

Although I don't fish, I think this looks like a pretty decent, and relaxing, way to start the day.
This gentleman is in good company with plenty of Herons and Gulls. They're pretty prolific on the river in the morning, coming in for the first meal of the day. It's one of my favorite places to look for Herons, but you have to be early. In another hour or so all that's left are the Gulls.
As many times as I've seen guys fly fishing on the river I've never seen any of them catch anything. Luckily the birds seem to be slightly more successful.
As I leaned out over the railing to photograph the fisherman I noticed this House Sparrow nearby, contemplating his fate.
Happy Saturday all! I'm so glad this week is finally over!!
*If you haven't stopped by the International Bird Rescue and Research Center blog then I highly recommend it. They just published a video showing exactly how they clean oiled birds. Poor things are scrubbed down pretty intensely, but it's all for their own survival. Quite frankly I'm really surprised more birds haven't come into the facility. Only 27, so far.
**Thank you all for the wonderful comments on my previous post, Seaside Inspiration. I had a lot of fun working on the photo's and hope to publish similar posts in the very near future!
I'm glad your week is over too.
Looks like there are a few sets of eyes on that rooftop watching the fishing action in that 4th photo.
Oh, it does look very relaxing .... but I think just being at the beach is relaxing. I always associate the beach with vacation.
And so glad you will be posting more of the Seaside Inspirations ...can't wait to see them! Happy Saturday!
I have not fished in many years - never really got in to fishing.
Very calming pictures. It reminds me of my brother, who, when he has time, likes to get up early to go fishing.
I'm not into fishing either but I can see where it might be peaceful and relaxing.
Love the little birdie on the railing shot.
what a beautiful place to spend a morning!
I fish, but I don't fly fish...my hubby does...it actually takes a lot of coordination and talent....and those birds!!!! LOVE this!
I was there for a bit last night when the tide was coming in. The alewife are in and that brings the stripers. It was crowded with fishermen last evening. Fun way to spend a night.
Great pictures. I love the fly fishermen. they look like they are dancing with the elements out there.
Great images Sharon! You never see them catching anything because it's called "fishing" not "catching"!
What beautiful, quiet images. I'm new to New England (rounding on the one year mark soon). Already, I love so much about it. Your photos capture so much of what I love about the area. Looking forward to seeing more.
My hubby & I love to fly fish! I showed him your photos and now the east coast is definitely going on his list! Beautiful!!
Why is it fishing looks so much easier than it really is?
It does, indeed, look peaceful. Nothing like good, fresh cooked fish. Yum!
All your photos look like postcards!

Paris Terror & World Council of Churches
The Islamist terror attack killing 12 persons at a French journal in Paris that has published cartoons mocking Islam's Prophet Muhammad prompted this response from the Geneva-based World Council of Churches:
The fatal attack that has taken place today in Paris against the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo is an attack on human life, human dignity and the human rights of all. The World Council of Churches utterly rejects and condemns any religious justification advanced for it. Together with all people of true faith and good will, we pray for the victims and their families, for the perpetrators to be brought to justice, for the extremist ideology that inspired this attack to be extinguished, and that justified outrage may not lead to reprisals against Muslims or fuel anti-Islamic sentiment.
And WCC chief Olav Tveit tweeted:
@OlavTveit: We all need the freedom of speech and the freedom to print and publish. Unacceptable that many journalists are killed, not only today!
@OlavTveit: Killings in Paris condemned by "all". Can this expression of terror unite us as humanity, finding new expressions of real justice and peace?
These statements are not bad, and Tveit's affirmation specifically of the "freedom to print and publish" is especially notable. During its darkest Cold War days of accommodating Soviet Communism and its global proxies, the WCC was often scandalously silent about the freedom to print and publish, among many other freedoms suppressed by dictatorships.
Also notable is the WCC call for this "extremist ideology" to be "extinguished." Not understood, dialogued with, contextualized, interpreted, or accommodated. But "extinguished." Good.
The WCC statements don't acknowledge that the "ideology" is a brand of rabid Islamism that is particularly dangerous because it has millions of sympathizers globally. Extinguishing maybe more difficult without fully naming and understanding it.
There's also the issue that scores of Muslim majority nations legally ban such cartoons and all other forms of criticism and mockery of Islam. It's not extremist but mainstream Islam that insists the state prohibit blasphemy and punish blasphemers.
Tveit admirably hopes the murders and assault on press freedom will facilitate a newly united humanity. But humanity is sadly not united about essential freedoms, including liberties of speech, press and religion. It might be helpful if rather than loftily aspiring for an unlikely global unity, the WCC more tangibly focused on rallying its global Christian constituencies for human rights for all persons, including freedom of speech, press and religion.
Interestingly, the French Protestant Federation, in a statement the WCC cited, offered this conclusion:
We reiterate that the secular republic and its values, including freedom of conscience, democracy and press freedom remain for us the foundation of our life together.

Levana is readable, but not likable.
Levana may not be likable, but she certainly is readable.
In fact, I had trouble putting Fairest down. A chance to learn how the villain of The Lunar Chronicles series came to be? Sign me up. It's possible I have a soft spot for villain back stories — the best villains are relateable and human-ish, after all — but truly, Marissa Meyer just writes a good book.
Though Fairest is a prequel to the series, it's likely best read as it was released: the book in between Cress and Winter. What we've learned in the first three books gives Levana's story greater context.
Would it still be good on its own? Probably. Is it even better within the context of the series? Heck yes. If you've loved this series, you need to read Fairest. It's really that simple.
And so subtle you barely notice it — yet so profound you can't help absorbing it — is the worldbuilding. We haven't been introduced to life on Luna, until now. It's brilliantly worked into the narrative, giving us glimpses of earth from the moon. I kinda want more now.
I loved, loved the brief look we got at Winter and the beginning of her story. It makes me that much more excited to get her story.
I finished this early this week. I think Tuesday. This was excellent and definitely something I'm glad I read because I love The Lunar Chronicles, but I couldn't read it all in one go. I had to take breaks because it stressed me out so much!
I also really liked the look at Lunar life too, and I can't wait for Winter. Seriously, I want it right this minute. I don't want to wait all year for it. I've heard it is quite long, too, so YAY!
No matter how long Winter is, though, I have a feeling it won't be enough. This series is that good!

One Arizona Group Goes To Court For The Disabled — More Than 1,500 Times
KJZZ | By Will Stone
Published November 4, 2016 at 1:46 AM PDT
Don Bayley
More than 1,500 business owners in Arizona have been sued recently by a nonprofit for allegedly violating the Americans with Disabilities Act. But critics of the cases call the group's effort a scam.
Kimber Lanning, who owns a music shop in Phoenix, was surprised when she was served with papers earlier this year that alleged she had violated the Americans with Disabilities Act over signs marking van-accessible parking spaces.
"I had no idea that there was a height regulation on the signage," she says.
Hers were a couple of inches below the required five feet off the ground. Lanning quickly fixed the problem, but she still had to settle the case. Settlements are confidential, but the complaints often demand $5,000 or more to cover legal fees.
And this year, more than 1,500 Arizona businesses have been sued for this type of ADA parking lot violation. A nonprofit called Advocates for Individuals with Disabilities (AID) is behind the lawsuits.

Kimber Lanning, who owns a music shop in Phoenix called Stinkweeds, is among a slew of Arizona business owners who have been sued recently for allegedly violating the Americans with Disabilities Act. In this case, her ADA-accessible parking sign was a few inches too low.
"I am not saying that businesses are bad or evil. I think that they are simply consciously indifferent to the plight of the disabled," says attorney Peter Strojnik with AID. He says Congress knew enforcement would often fall on private attorneys, and there needs to be some compensation.
"Number one, they have to comply, and yes, they have to pay the costs, expenses and lawyer's fees just like the law says, but the fact is, they can't complain. They've known," he says.
Strojnik says his group targets parking lots because those are symptomatic of other accessibility issues. He says an investigator takes pictures, but the plaintiff doesn't always visit the business. For instance, one local man is listed on more than 500 cases.
A lot is still unknown about AID. It only recently became a nonprofit, and Strojnik says he makes no money; instead he says settlements help fund wheelchairs and other donations for those with disabilities.
Critics call it a scam.
"What we believe we see is using the Disabilities Act in a systematic way to enrich themselves," says Mark Brnovich, Arizona's attorney general, who recently intervened in the cases. The cases are brought under the federal and state version of the ADA. "When you have a bunch of frivolous lawsuits, I think it undermines the public's confidence in what is or isn't happening with the Disabilities Act."
Complaints should go to his office first, he says. AID, however, argues Brnovich's motivations are "political" – to serve the business community.
And some are ambivalent about the state's involvement at all. Phil Pangrazio of Ability 360, one of the country's largest centers for independent living. He doesn't like AID's aggressive approach.
"No, I am not in love with that strategy because it does create this kind of backlash where the business community gets upset about it," he says.
At the same time, Pangrazio worries the real victim of this bad PR could be the ADA itself — "modifying it, amending it in a way that really takes away the civil rights of people with disabilities," he says.
Sure enough, Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake has introduced legislation that would give a business 120 days to correct a violation before being sued. Disability advocates warn that could take away the incentive to make the necessary changes unless you're caught. Pangrazio says, after all, 1 in 5 people has a disability.
"We don't think the law is the problem," he says.
And the width of a doorway or an entrance ramp can determine if a business is really open to everyone.

Among speakers at the 1:30 p.m. seminar Saturday, March 1, will be H. W. "Kip" Butts, senior analyst for Informa Economics at Memphis, and Tommy Foltz, president of Foltz Company at Little Rock.
"Kip Butts has seen firsthand the impact of energy on crop competitiveness, from production through processing and to the final destination, including the critical importance of transportation linkages and costs," says Tim Price, executive vice president of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association and Foundation, which sponsors the annual event. "Tommy Foltz is a 15-year veteran of the alternative energy industry, with perspectives ranging from government to private business. The cost of energy is something that affects every farm operation, and everyone should plan to attend this informative seminar," Price says.
Representatives from government, research, energy, and the farm sector have been invited to participate.
This year's show, which is co-sponsored by Delta Farm Press, will feature approximately 400 exhibitors from 48 states and five foreign countries and will occupy over 200,000 square feet of exhibit space in the convention center.
The show is a perennial "must-attend" for farmers, ginners, and others, with more than 20,000 decision-makers coming each year. "It's a tradition," he says. "We're excited about the number of new products — both from traditional exhibitors and those who are new to the show," Price says.
Also of major interest at this year's show, he notes, will be the newest precision ag technologies, new chemistries, seed, and a host of other products and services. "Biotechnology continues to have a major impact on our industry, as will be reflected in all the exhibits related to crop seeds, agrichemicals, and all the related products and services," he says.
The show's popular Ag Update Seminars, to be held Friday and Saturday mornings at 8:30, will focus on the outlook for crops and legislation. Already slated to speak at the Friday session are Carl Brothers, senior vice president of Riceland Foods, and Joe Nicosia, chief executive officer of Allenberg Cotton Co., and Larry McClellan, incoming chairman of the National Cotton Council.
Richard Brock, president, Brock Associates, will conduct his popular grain marketing outlook seminar Saturday morning, offering strategies and projections for 2008. Brock will also discuss agriculture issues and bio-energy.


MAHARAJA HARI SINGH : THE LAST RULER OF JAMMU & KASHMIR By. Col. J.P. Singh (Retd).
Maharaja Hari Singh was born on 23rd Sept 1895 in Amar Mahal Jammu which is a museum of world fame and most popular tourist attraction in Jammu. He was son of Raja General Amar Singhji; younger brother of Maharaja Partap Singh. He ascended to the throne of Jammu & Kashmir State in 1925 after the demise of Maharaja Sir Partap Singh. He was one of the most renowned ruler of British India as well as Indian Union as a ruler of geographically largest and strategically most important empire of Jammu & Kashmir which continues to remain in the lime light for several political and historical reasons. He gained acclamation for being "The Last Ruling King of Independent India" since he continued to be Maharaja of Jammu & Kashmir till 5th November 1952 while all other rulers of princely states had seized to be Kings by 1948.
When he was 13 years old he was sent to 'Mayo College of Princes' for studies. Soon after his admission in the Mayo College his father Raja Amar Singhji died . After his father's death, British Govt in Delhi took keen interest in his education and bringing up. A British Army Officer was deputed as his guardian with the responsibility of ensuring proper education and training with the aim of grooming him to be a good ruler. After completing his education in Mayo College he was sent to 'Imperial Cadet Corps' at Dehradun to imbibe in him Military and Martial traits as well as polishing his English language. Maharaja Hari Singh married Maharani Tara Devi in 1928 as his fourth wife after his previous three wives had died earlier one after the other without an issue. This marriage was on the advice of the astrologers and true to their prediction a Yuvraj was born to them on 9 March 1931 as the next Heir Apparent.
In 1915 he was appointed Commander-in-Chief of J&K State Forces when he was only 20 years old. On assuming command of the state forces, he introduced lot of reforms in the training and welfare of officers and soldiers. Central cook houses called Langars and Officers Messes were introduced by him in the state force prior to which the officers and jawans used to cook their own meals. During the reign of Maharaja Partap Singh Union Jack used to fly on all official buildings of the State. Maharaja Hari Singh ordered their removal which was contested by the British govt but he didn't relent. Later, on Viceroy's request he allowed a British flag to be flown only on the residential building of the Resident thereby exerting his full authority over his sate.
His rule has been described as glorious by British historians because of several reforms that he introduced in administration and judiciary. After ascending to the throne he brought about several rules and regulations for the welfare and betterment of his subjects. There are numerous instances worth mentioning but few of them such as making primary education compulsory for all subjects; men & women, prohibiting child marriage and opening all the places of worship for his low caste subjects are most remarkable. He opened lot of new schools and colleges to promote education. He managed to check corruption in the administration by adopting unique ways of detecting corruption, findings culprit officials and punishing them. He banned beggar and it is said that during his rule none dared to accept bribes or deny wages for any services rendered. He even ploughed land himself to get land holding rights to his subjects. He was made a member of the Imperial War Council from 1944 to 1946 during the World War II. During the war he visited Middle East where he joined his units which were fighting against Axis Powers. He lived with them in their temporary trenches and bunkers which encouraged them and boosted their moral. Showing his solidarity with his forces in the battlefield earned him lot of respect not only of his men but also of the Allied Powers particularly of the British Army.
Hari Singh's rule witnessed lot of political upheavals. From 1931 onwards his rule faced Kashmiri insurrection against his rule which became a mass movement in the valley under the leadership of Sheikh Mohd Abdullah. He opposed Jinnah's Muslim League for its communal agenda illustrated in his two nation theory; hence faced his wrath. He was victim of hostility of Indian National Congress because of Pt Nehru and Sheikh Mohd Abdullah. Immediately after independence and partition of India he saw the tragic communal riots which engulfed the State of Jammu & Kashmir as well. It was followed by an invasion of his State by Pakistani raiders. Jammu & Kashmir had become an independent country after the lapse of British Paramountacy on 15 Aug 1947. It was during his reign that the first Indo-Pak war was fought on the soil of Jammu & Kashmir. Finally the Govt of India took over the control of J&K thus ending the 106 years old hereditary rule of the last Maharaja of India on 15th November 1952.
Maharaja Hari Singh was a democratic and progressive ruler and knew what was to come. He had made it clear in the Round Table Conference in London that he was for independence of India for which he had to pay heavily as Britishers never trusted him thereafter. As a result he had to face many uprisings fomented and abetted by the British. He also knew that the era of the dynastic rule was to end soon for which he prepared his son to fit in the future democratic set up of the country. Dr Karan Singh bears testimony to it as he became the first elected head of the State as a Sadar-i-Riyasat and later Union Minister for many years and is still a Member of Parliament even 63 years after the transfer of power. In fact he should have been the President of India today. Hopefully next time. The credit for preparing him for the distinguished career in the changed political scenario goes to him.
Lord Mountbatten visited Srinagar in June 1947. He advised Maharaja Hari Singh to accede to Pakistan on the grounds of religion of majority population and geographical contiguity. Although the advice amounted to be an order because the state was part of the Dominion. Maharaja ignored this advice and instead wanted more time to decide the future of his State. He knew that Pt Nehru and Sheikh Abdullah were for State's accession to India which was his wish as well. But all the rail and land routes to J&K passed through Pakistan. Despite Gurdaspur District falling part of India and River Ravi becoming the boundary line, there was no road or rail link to India through Pathankot which hindered Maharaja's early decision of accession to India. But Pt Nehru took keen interest in the development of road link to Jammu facilitating accession. When India gained independence he had the option of joining either India or Pakistan or to remain independent. He knew the consequences of all the options for which he offered Standstill Agreement with both the Dominions, which unfortunately was not accepted by Pt Nehru which changed the course of history. Had Pt Nehru accepted it, it would have given India over two months to understand the problems of the most strategic State of the world and prepare for anything untoward from any direction. It might have perhaps averted Pakistani attack in Oct 47 as the State would have been the joint responsibility of both the Dominions. However following the invasion by Pakistan on 21 October 1947 he appealed to the Indian Union for help. India refused unless he acceded to the Indian Union. He signed the instrument of accession with the govt of India on 26 October 1947 acceding his country to the Indian Union which included Jammu, Kashmir, Northern Areas, Ladakh, Trans Karakoram Tract, POK and Aksai Chin. The events mentioned above leading to the accession with Indian Union created Indo-Pak hostility which has resulted into 4 military conflicts and the ongoing proxy war in Kashmir. Due to unresolved and undemocratic nature of transition all the territories mentioned above are considered disputed.
Due to growing hostility with his Prime Minister Sheikh Abdullah, he appointed his son Yuvraj Karan Singh as his regent and left for Bombay in 1949, never to return to his State there after. He spent rest of his life in Bombay. His passions for Polo, Horse Racing and Reading kept him occupied for the remaining period of life. Lt Gen His Highness Shriman Rajrajeshwar Maharajadhiraj Sri Sir Hari Singh Indar Mahindar Bahadur Sipar-i-Sultanat, GCSI, GCIE, GCVO, KCVO, Maharaja of Jammu & Kashmir breathed his last on 26 April 1961 at Bombay. As per his will his Ashes were brought to Jammu and spread all over J&K and immersed in River Tawi at Jammu.
Amar Kshatriya Rajput Sabha is remembering the beloved rulers by celebrating his 115th Birth Anniversary on 23 September 2010 at Raj Tilak Bhavan Purani Mandi Jammu.

Ewan McGregor's Daughter Clara Walks Red Carpet Immediately After ER Visit
by Arielle Tschinkel
Bryan Steffy/Getty
Less than an hour before hitting the red carpet to celebrate her dad's big night, Ewan McGregor's daughter Clara was in the emergency room — and she has the gruesome battle scars to prove it
Plenty of celebs love to show off their super glamorous "getting ready" routines on social media before hitting the red carpet, but Ewan McGregor's daughter Clara certainly had a decidedly different experience over the weekend. The 25-year-old was on hand to celebrate the Las Vegas premiere of her dad's new movie, The Birthday Cake on Friday, June 11, revealing on Instagram that she'd suffered a dog bite and was in the emergency room just 30 minutes before the event.
McGregor shared a series of photos of herself on the red carpet (in a super chic cream Fendi suit, no less!) with several bloody marks on her nose and cheeks, including one shot of herself wearing her hospital bracelet and giving the middle finger — truly relatable for what sounds like it was a terrifying ordeal. In the caption of her post, which she shared on Sunday, June 13, she wrote, "When a dog bite lands you in the ER 30 mins before the red carpet😅."
Clara was a producer on the film, so she must've felt a special pull to show up but also, she was there for her dad. No doubt winning the "daughter of the year" award for managing to still make it to the ceremony and the after-party despite needing emergency medical care, she made sure to thank The Mob Museum in Las Vegas for hosting the event and Fendi for making her outfit. She also congratulated the team behind the film, which comes out in theaters and on VOD Friday, June 18.
Though McGregor didn't share any more details about the dog bite that landed her in the emergency room, it seems like she came out of the attack relatively unscathed — though the photos are definitely pretty gruesome and jarring. Here's hoping she was able to take time to rest and recover after her big night out. Famous commenters like Kaia Gerber and Shameless alum Jeremy Allen White summed it up best — Gerber called McGregor "so badass" and White wrote, "Looks tough." We agree on all counts.

Why You Should Wait for the Next MacBook Pros
by Clyde Nash
— Jan 18, 2017
Now, it seems as if Apple is poised to correct numerous biggest complaints about the new MacBook Pro with new models expected to launch in 2017, according to a research note from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo published on Friday seen by Business Insider.
The 12-inch MacBook will also get a new RAM option, with 16GB available, as they're now limited to 8GB.
The claims, which come courtesy of reputed Apple tipster, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, suggest all Mac models will be updated in 2017. He further added that this laptop model will be "the most significantly redesigned product this year".
Industry analysts believe that Apple will announced an upgraded 15-inch Macbook Pro.
The new Kaby Lake processors will also be power-efficient, Kuo believes.
Middle East peace center of meeting between Francis, Abbas
Netanyahu rejects global attempts to "impose" a solution and says peace can only be reached through direction negotiations. The Palestinian leader is heading to Europe over the weekend, and is going to meet Pope Francis on Saturday 14 January.
Furthermore, the 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pros will start production in early Q3 with Kaby Lake processors. Earlier this year, Phil Schiller explained that Apple's decision to cap the MacBook Pro at 16GB of RAM was done in an effort to preserve battery life. Well, we have good news for Apple fans, recent reports have been showing that Apple is working on launching a 15 inch MacBook Pro during 2017 and it will ship with the whopping amount of 32GB of RAM.
If his word is true, then it looks like Apple is heeding the call of heavy photo and video users who have taken a dislike to the 16 GB hard cap that Apple placed on its latest MacBook Pro with Touch Bar models. Here's a quick review of what you can expect from the Cupertino-based tech giant's updated Macbook Pro.
He anticipates that Apple will reduce the price of the lower-end 13-inch MacBook Pro later in the year, making it a more direct replacement to the 13-inch MacBook Air. According to him, the 12-inch MacBook computer would be the first to benefit from this processor that was introduced at CES 2017.
We will keep our readers updated if there is more news regarding the MacBook Pro and MacBook.
