Luxurious yet natural, opulent yet fresh – a Kentfield Estate wedding has it all!
The wonder of the outdoors and the beauty of nature with ancient, native woodlands and a dreamy lake providing the fabulous backdrop influenced the look and feel of the shoot. The team was inspired to create something that avoided the typical 'rustic' look and instead was sensuous, rich and incredibly indulgent.
To bring the look to life, quality was most definitely the key. Trays edged in gold held the most delectable selection of canapés, coupe glasses were filled with champagne, jeweled macarons, lush florals, heavyweight stationery with flowing script, an iconic Aston Martin and THAT cake all fitted perfectly with the natural-luxe style.
Our bride wore a show-stopping, full-skirted gown and vivid Aruna Seth shoes with exquisite embellishments. Her bridal look was utterly elegant with perfectly groomed hair, classic drop earrings and a statement red lip.
The colour palette for the shoot was rooted in nature with greens playing a starring role. These tones were perfect for representing both luxury and organic beauty. The white and gold accents were the perfect foil for the greens bringing both opulence and purity into the colour palette.
Kentfield was the most fitting location for the shoot. This private estate sits on the edge of the North Downs and is alive with pasture, wildflower meadows and native woodlands. The 4-acre lake is such a fantastic setting and the fact that the venue is also a working estate that farms in a sympathetic way, producing food of the finest quality also fitted the shoot brief to perfection.
The flowers for the shoot included the most luxurious seasonal blooms including peonies, anemones, roses and lilies plus plenty of bold greenery. Everything was opulent in the extreme with flowers cascading from bowls across tabletops and tumbling from tall glass candelabras that had been wrapped in ribbon to match the colour palette.
When it comes to standout elements, the amazing geode cake has to top the list. The rich emerald interior, edged with gold would make a wedding centrepiece that guests would never forget. The fringed cake with cameo overtones is just as special and would fit a more traditional wedding perfectly.
Any bride looking for styling tips will have lots to choose from with this shoot that proves just how chic country settings can be. The bold yet traditional stationery is the perfect starting point for the day and this is then continued with all those expected wedding elements being given an extra twist or flourish. Add a slick of gold to the top of a macaron, add another tier to a wedding cake, hire in luxurious chair or flatware to add another dimension to a bare table… The choice is yours!
So if you're having a Kentfield Estate wedding or are looking for modern Asian wedding photography then we would love to hear from you.

There's a bear hiding amongst the cats. Can you spot it?
Glaucoma is a largely unobservable group of eye diseases in which damage to the optic nerves causes a loss of vision.
Damage to the optic nerve is responsible for the vision loss that comes with glaucoma, the most common cause of this damage is high pressure in the eyes. However, there are people with low eye pressure who develop glaucoma and people with high eye pressure who don't develop glaucoma.
The onset of glaucoma is more common as people age (it's recommended that you have your eyes checked before age 40) but it can affect people of any age. Things like high eye pressure, diabetes, high myopia, prolonged use of steroid medications or a family history of the disease are better indicators of your increased susceptibility to the disease.
The condition often goes undetected as the causes and symptoms of the disease are largely invisible to the untrained eye. Vision loss tends to occur slowly often beginning with your peripheral vision.
A bit of foresight could save a lot of your sight! If you have any concerns, book an optometrist appointment and ask for a glaucoma test. Comprehensive eye examinations are the best way to detect glaucoma.
Unfortunately, glaucoma cannot be cured but the associated vision loss can be slowed or even stopped. Treatments focus on reducing the pressure in your eyes and will require ongoing care for the rest of your life.
Early detection is paramount so regular eye examinations are essential. Your optometrist will be able to assess your risk factors during your appointment and refer you to an Ophthalmologist if necessary.

Most diets fail. Even if fat loss is achieved, rebounds are commonplace, and permanent changes are elusive.
It's a cruel trick of our physiology—fat loss itself sets us up for easy fat gain when we return to normal eating. However, with the right strategy, it's possible to transition back to normal eating while staying lean.
Reverse dieting to increase metabolism after a fat loss phase is a controversial subject. Some swear by it, while others claim it's unnecessary and a money-making scam of diet coaches.
Having followed my own fat loss efforts both with and without reverse dieting, I'm convinced it's a powerful tool with huge benefits.
However, that's not to say it's for everyone, or that it should be used in every circumstance.
Most diets fail and lead to fat rebound. The reason is that the post-diet period isn't given enough consideration—people lose weight, then go straight back to how they ate before the diet, which is what got them fat in the first place.
Reverse dieting is a great way to fix this situation. By using it you can keep your results and avoid becoming another diet-failure statistic.
In my most successful reverse dieting experiment I increased my food intake from 1900 Calories all the way up to 3000 with no fat gain.
Have you ever started a diet, made amazing progress, then caved in to hunger and binged your way back to square one or worse? It's a common problem and one of the main causes is not giving enough consideration to natural appetite patterns.
After years of experimenting with diet plans, I found a simple way to work with hunger that makes dieting infinitely easier: calorie banking. It's a way to eat large meals and treats when you're most hungry, and it makes dietary adherence and fat loss goals much more likely.
A fair argument could be made that you have to be a bit of a masochist to enjoy working out. It's often physically uncomfortable, if not downright painful. That's why exercise is seen as a chore, grudgingly done out of sense of duty to maintain a loosely defined state of health. It doesn't have to be like that, though. By reframing how you think of it, you can change exercise from a job into a pleasure.
To lose weight you eat less. It's simple. But there's a big difference between simple and easy, which is borne out by the statistics showing most weight loss diets fail. My first diet attempts failed, too, but eventually I found a sustainable approach. The right mindset is an important part, and to build mine I use a mental trick that guarantees long term fat loss success by short-circuiting the thought patterns that lead to falling off the wagon.
Since the beginning of time man has pondered the important question of how to look cool with no shirt on. For those with the right parents, it's easy: lift heavy things and eat lots. However, that plan won't work for the hardgainer with a slow metabolism. We'll get slightly bigger and stronger, but mostly just fat. All is not lost, though. Our muscle mass might be meagre, but by focussing on being lean, we can still have a head-turning physique.
If you've ever found yourself wrestling with the question of how to stick to a diet, you probably think you need a way to strengthen your willpower. But relying on willpower to resist progress-destroying cheats and binges is a recipe for failure.
On the other hand, a trick that completely prevents cheating and the total failure it can lead to is simply planning your meals ahead of time. Cheats and binges are caused by a loss of control. Planning works by putting control back in your hands—even if you decide to break your diet.
Is Intermittent Fasting Bad for Muscle?
The are real benefits to intermittent fasting. Even just flexibility of food choice and the freeing up of time otherwise spent on meal preparation make it worthwhile, let alone other purported claims such as life extension. But is intermittent fasting bad for muscle? Some people think so, and as proof they say there are no really big guys who fast. It seems like a reasonable observation on its surface, but it's mistaking cause and effect.
I know you're busy. You've heard of a million diets and have no idea where to even start, and simply don't have time to research. High carb, low carb, ketogenic, blah, blah, blah. It's easy to feel swamped and just give up in confusion. No need for that, though—here's 3 simple steps to fat loss. Follow this and you will lose weight.


When Sarah Smith asked me if I would create a recipe for their monthly newsletter I was very happy to oblige. The Sarah Smith range of home products include beautiful tea towels, aprons, oven gloves and cleaning clothes in bright, floral designs that will certainly brighten up the spring cleaning jobs.
They looks so pretty and perfectly iced.
Beautiful and perfect for April!
Adorably iced – and so neat!
Like everyone else asked…How did you get the frosting so perfect?! If I did that, one cookie would take me 2 hours!
These look delicious!!!! The icing is perfect, beautiful.
So pretty! Your icing is perfect.I'm full of admiration for your precision.
You're all so kind. Believe it or not I just used a spoon! I used the back of it to push the icing into the petals and then to dollop on the middle. I made the icing fairly thick though so it was easier to use.

Appeals Demystified — The Appeals Process
By tlewis1111 May 22, 2015
THE APPEAL PROCESS DEMYSTIFIED
How is an appeal taken?
Some orders and judgments are appealable as of right, others only by permission. Appeals as of right are taken by serving and filing a notice of appeal (CPLR 5515). Permission to appeal is obtained by making a motion for that relief (CPLR 5516).
When must a notice of appeal be filed or motion for leave to appeal be made?
In a civil case pending in the Supreme Court or Surrogate's Court, a notice of appeal must be served and filed in the office of the clerk of the court of original instance within 30 days after service upon the appellant of a copy of the order or judgment to be appealed with written notice of its entry, or, if the appellant has served the order or judgment with notice of its entry, within 30 days of that service (CPLR 5513[a]). A motion for permission to appeal must be made within the same time limits and, if permission to appeal has already been denied by order of the court whose determination is sought to be reviewed, within 30 days after service of that order and notice of its entry (CPLR 5513[b]).
An appeal from the Family Court must be taken (1) within 30 days after service by a party or a law guardian upon the appellant of the order sought to be reviewed, (2) within 30 days after receipt by the appellant of a copy of the order in open court, or (3) within 35 days after mailing of the order to the appellant by the clerk, whichever is earliest (Family Ct Act § 1113).
An appeal from the Court of Claims must be taken within 30 days after service by a party of the order or judgment sought to be reviewed with notice of its entry, or within 30 days after service upon the appellant of a certified copy of the order or judgment by the clerk of the court (Court of Claims Act § 25).
Where and how do I serve and file a notice of appeal?
An appeal as of right is taken by serving a notice of appeal on the adverse party and filing it in the office where the judgment or order of the court of original instance is entered (CPLR 5515[1]). In the Second Department two additional copies of the notice of appeal must be filed, to each of which must be affixed a form called a Request for Appellate Division Intervention, a copy of the order or judgment appealed from, and a copy of the opinion or decision, if any (22 NYCRR 670.3[a]).
Where and how do I make a motion for leave to appeal?
Whether an order or judgment is appealable by permission and what court is authorized to grant permission varies depending on the court in which the action originated, the courts from and to which the appeal is to be taken, and the nature of the order or judgment appealed from. A person who desires to appeal must check the statutes governing appeals from and to those courts. How to make a motion is explained in chapter 8 of this court's Guide to Civil Practice.
How do I perfect an appeal?
After an appeal is taken by filing a notice of appeal or obtaining leave to appeal, it must be "perfected". Perfecting an appeal means doing all the acts necessary to place the case on the court's calendar (22 NYCRR 670.2[a][4]). There are several different methods by which appeals may be perfected; they are described in § 670.9 of the court's rules (22 NYCRR 670.9) and in chapter 5 of the court's Guide to Civil Practice.
What is the difference between the full record method and the appendix method of perfecting an appeal and why would I choose to use one rather than the other?
The full record method involves the reproduction of all the materials specified in CPLR 5526 that constitute the record. It is used where the issues to be raised on the appeal require the examination and consideration of all those materials. The appendix method, on the other hand, is used where the issues to be raised on the appeal are limited and do not require examination of all the materials constituting the record; material that is not germane to the issues to be raised may be omitted from the printed appendix (CPLR 5528[a][5]; 22 NYCRR 670.10.2[c][1]).
How much time do I have to perfect my appeal?
In civil cases an appeal must be perfected within six months of the date of the notice of appeal [2nd Department] or nine months of the date of the notice of appeal [1st Department] (or order granting leave to appeal) (22 NYCRR 670.8[e][1]). In criminal cases an appeal by the defendant must be perfected within nine months from the date of the notice of appeal, unless a motion for assignment of counsel to prosecute the appeal is made within that time (22 NYCRR 670.8[f]).
If I run out of time to perfect or to file a brief, how can I ask for more?
A party who needs more time to perfect or to file a brief must obtain an enlargement of time to do so. The procedure is described in the court's rules.
Mailing will NOT suffice on the last day to file a brief or other paper with the court.
All records on appeal, briefs, appendices, motions, affirmations, and other papers will be deemed filed in this court only as of the time they are actually received by the clerk and that they must be accompanied by proof of service upon all necessary parties pursuant to CPLR 2103.
What is the schedule for filing a respondent's answering brief and an appellant's reply brief?
A respondent must serve and file an answering brief within 30 days after service of the appellant's brief and an appellant may serve and file a reply brief within 10 days after service of the respondent's answering brief. These periods are subject to extension based on the method of service (see, e.g., CPLR 2103[b][2], [6]). Moreover, if the last day of such a period is a Saturday, Sunday, or a public holiday, service and filing may be made on the next succeeding business day (General Construction Law § 25-a[1]).
How many copies of records or appendices and briefs must be served and filed?
Where the full record method or the appendix method is used to perfect an appeal, the appellant must serve two copies of the record or appendix and the brief on each adversary and file nine copies with the court. Where the original papers method is used, only one copy of the brief need be served on each adversary; however, nine copies must still be filed with the court. The same principle applies to answering and reply briefs.

Learn more about St. Clement Hofbauer
St. Clement Hofbauer was born Johannes Hofbauer on December 26, 1751, in Tasswitz, Moravia, the ninth child of a butcher and his wife. His father died when he was only 6 years old. His mother then held a crucifix before him and said, "From now on, He is your father. Take care that you never grieve Him by sin." He took those words to heart.
As a child he loved to pray the rosary with his family, gathering them together for prayer. He fasted until evening on Saturdays in honor of the Blessed Mother and gave his spending money to the poor. His desire for the priesthood was kindled at an early age.
Clement believed priests were "the light of the world and the salt of the earth," and he began studying Latin in the home of a local priest. When the priest died, Clement was unable to continue his studies and needed to learn a trade.
He became a baker's apprentice, and in 1770 he found work in the bakery of a priory, where he labored tirelessly to feed the poor.
In 1775 he lived for a short time as a hermit until Emperor Joseph II abolished all hermitages in the Hapsburg Empire.
After making two pilgrimages to Rome in 1782, he was able once again to become a hermit at the local shrine of Our Lady of Quintiliolo near Tivoli, Italy. His patron was Bishop Barnaba Gregorio Chiaramonti, O.S.B., who would become Pope Pius VII.
Bishop Chiaramonti clothed him in the religious habit of a hermit, and at this time he took the name Clement Maria.
Clement spent his time at the shrine, helping others and praying for them, but his heart still yearned for the priesthood, so he returned to the priory to continue studying Latin and baking bread. Thanks to the generosity of two benefactors he met while serving Mass, he was able to begin studying for the priesthood at the University of Vienna. He was 29.
At that time theology courses were heavily influenced by the Emperor Joseph, who had closed all seminaries. Studies were conducted at state-run universities, which Clement found frustrating because the theology coursework had been influenced by the emperor's views and rationalism.
Although Clement completed his studies in 1784, the emperor had forbidden new candidates from entering seminaries—so Clement was unable to further his goal of priestly ordination.
That same year, while on another pilgrimage to Rome, Clement fell in love with the Redemptorists (the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer). He and his friend Thaddeus Hübl decided to enter the Redemptorist novitiate at the Community of San Giuliano in Rome, and on March 19, 1785, the feast of St. Joseph, they made their profession of vows. Ten days later they were ordained to the priesthood.
Their first directive, given by the superior general, Father Francesco de Paola, was to return to their homeland across the Alps and establish the Redemptorists in northern Europe.
Again Emperor Joseph stood in his way. He would not allow a new religious institution to open within his empire, so the two Redemptorists moved on toward Warsaw. They were joined by Peter Kunzmann, another baker and the first non-Italian Redemptorist lay brother.
In Warsaw the apostolic delegate, Archbishop Ferdinando Saluzzo, directed them to work with the German-speaking people by putting them in charge of St. Benno Church. Clement was particularly drawn to homeless boys and opened a home called the Child Jesus Refuge for them.
It was common for him to go begging from door to door for his students. Once he approached a man in a tavern to ask for a donation. The man spat at Clement and uttered vile profanities. Wiping his face, Clement said, "That was for me. Now, what will you give for my children?" The men at the bar were impressed by his humility and gave more than 100 silver coins.
At first the locals believed they were too busy to attend Mass. They were also afraid to trust these priests from a foreign country. But after several years attitudes began to change, and eventually the priests were able to turn the children's refuge into an academy. Regular benefactors contributed money and helped in many other ways, but Clement continued to beg from door to door.
Many Catholics in Warsaw had left the faith and turned to Freemasonry. They banded together, intending to close the churches and harm the priests. Clement reasoned that drastic remedies were required for drastic maladies, and in response he created "Perpetual Missions," conducted daily throughout the year.
In 1787 the number of those receiving the sacraments had been about 2,000. By 1800 the total had grown to more than 100,000. The number of priests at St. Benno's had increased to 21 Redemptorists and seven lay brothers. But it was a difficult and bloody time for foreigners in Poland, who were routinely attacked.
Many wanted the Redemptorists out of Poland, and ultimately the parish was closed. Forty Redemptorists were sent to prison for a month and then returned to their own countries.
Clement returned to Vienna, where he worked as a hospital chaplain, caring for soldiers wounded when Napoleon's army attacked in 1809.
In July 1813 he was appointed chaplain of the Ursuline Sisters. There he developed a reputation as a gentle confessor and a powerful preacher. He also founded an orphanage and two schools and constantly dreamed of increasing vocations to the Redemptorists so they could conduct missions throughout the world.
Clement prayed relentlessly for souls facing death, especially those in a state of mortal sin. One day a sister entered the church to find Clement kneeling at the altar with tears on his cheeks as he begged for the conversion on a particular sinner.
The sister overheard him pray, "Lord, give me this soul, for if Thou refuse, I shall go to Thy Mother!" The sister was deeply affected by his plea and joined her prayers to his before an image of the Blessed Mother.
Clement died in Vienna on March 15, 1820. He was canonized by St. Pius X on May 20, 1909, and his feast is celebrated on March 15. He is co-patron of both Vienna and Warsaw.
He is regarded as the second founder of the Redemptorists for his efforts in establishing the Congregation north of the Alps.
His shrine is in the church Maria am Gestade in Vienna, Austria.
Eight interesting facts about St. Clement
Clement was the ninth of 10 children.
He was a baker in his early years.
He began the "Perpetual Mission," a full-scale mission conducted every day of the year.
He worked as a hospital chaplain after Napoleon attacked Vienna.
The rosary was his favorite devotion.
His favorite Marian title was "Mother of Our Lord."
He is often called the "second founder" of the Redemptorists.
He was considered a "lion in the pulpit" and a "lamb in the confessional."

The Central Standard Times
A view from the middle of America
An Ill-Fitted President in an Ill-Fitting Suit
June 4, 2019 By The Central Standard Times in Politics Tags: ", " "twitter, black tie and tuxedo, bluntness, diplomatic protocol, fat, Justin Trudeau, longstanding traditions, Mayor of London, Montenegro, NATO, Queen Elizabeth II, Scotland, state visit, united kingdom, white tie and tails	1 Comment
On his first day of a state visit to the United Kingdom President Donald Trump committed his usual number of offenses against longstanding diplomatic protocol, continuing his "twitter" war against the mayor of the host city, offering opinions on British political affairs that are none of America's business and he doesn't seem to know much about, and taking the occasion to hurl insults and threats from abroad at perceived enemies back home. The worst of it, as far as we're concerned, was the outfit he wore to a fancy dinner with the Queen of England.
He was wearing a white tie and tales, which is appropriate dress for state dinners with royalty and those other very rare occasions in life when a black tie and tuxedo is insufficiently highfalutin, but surely such a rich man as Trump claims to be could have found a more adept tailor. The suit made him look far fatter than he and his doctor swear he is, even more so than his golf gear, with the coat cut higher and showing conspicuously more white cummerbund than any of the more elegant-looking other male guests, and along with Trump's behavior on the trip it put us in mind of Burgess Meredith's portrayal of the "Penguin" on the old "Batman" television series.
To be fair we must admit that only Fred Astaire ever looked great in such a get-up, and that we are by no means fashion icons ourselves, but we couldn't resist joining all the jibes that many of the commenters at various internet news sites were making. Our observation might seem one of those ad hominem attacks we routinely accuse Trump of making, but on his first day in London he making fun of the mayor's diminutive height, and his fans seem to that sort of plain-spoken bluntness and cheap shots.
Also, it seemed yet another dispiriting example of how Trump just isn't very good at this state visit and international diplomacy stuff.
All the past presidents of our by now very long recollection were obviously striving for a certain dignity and decorum and paying exquisitely careful attention to all the infinitesimal details of international diplomacy while abroad, but Trump seems to pride himself on demolishing even the most time-tested traditions. He shoved the prime minister of Montenegro aside to get to the front of a photo at a summit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization members, sided with brutal Russian dictator Vladimir Putin over the consensus of his intelligence agencies at a meeting in Helsinki, lavished unnecessary praise on the even more brutal North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un during negotiations in Singapore, and went out of his way to insult the democratically-elected Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during a G-7 summit north of the border.
Trump was on his best behavior during the dinner with the Queen and the rest of the royal family. He wisely refrained from reiterating his opinion that the recent biracial American member of the clan is "nasty," which he now denies saying even there's audio evidence that he did, and he seemed quite sincere in such over-the-top flattery of the Queen that she was probably embarrassed about it. Trump clearly loves pomp and circumstance, a tendency he has said he learned from his Scottish-born mother, who seems to have had a greater affection for the royals than your average Scot, and although he's willing to wage petty and pointless feuds with all of the democratically-officials in the UK and the rest of the western world he clearly appreciates the red carpet treatment he routinely gets from the world's hereditary monarchies and dictatorships.
The rest of Trump's brief stay in England will include mass protests by a public that has about an 18 percent approval of him, including a blimp that portrays Trump as an obese and diapered baby holding a "twitter" machine, as well as outgoing and up-and-coming politicians who won't be so polite as the royal family, and we expect that as usual he'll want to punch back ten times harder. He's got stops in France and other European locations where he's also widely unpopular with both the public and their democratically-elected leaders, and we expect it will all play better with the fans back home than with our erstwhile crucial trading and military partners.
Trump fans love his bold willingness to disdain the longstanding traditions they believe has constrained America's power, even though the past decades of business as usual have actually made America the economic and military and cultural leader of the free world in the post-World War II era, but we think there's still something to be said for dignity and decorum and friendly relationships with the democratically-elected world leaders rather than its most brutal dictators. There's also something to be said for hiring a tailor who won't make you look so fat.

TSA Complaints On The Rise
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that complaints regarding Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screening at airports have risen over the past several months — but the reason for the increase in complaints depends on who you ask.
The TSA says the increase has occurred because they weren't counting all the complaints before. Until May this year, the TSA was losing customer complaints and under-reporting traveler gripes. To some travelers, security screening at the nation's airports remains as big a hassle as ever, and screeners are even grumpier nowadays, which could obviously lead to an increase in complaints.
Recent totals of complaints regarding TSA service (not including reports about damaged luggage) supports the theory that the TSA did have a hard time keeping up with big crowds this past summer.
In the first five months of this year, complaints to the TSA about security courtesy were down. September of this year, the most recent month reported by the government, saw a 71.4% increase in TSA complaints.

Legal Issues Dawg Bush Administration
It seems the more secrets the Bush Administration tries to keep, the more it comes back to bite them in their collective butts. Here are a couple examples of the president's secret fantasy justice in the name of the 'global war on terror' that are blowing the lid off the illicit ways this presidential adminstration has operated as no other.
The New York Times is reporting that a federal judge recently warned that if the government did not allow lawyers to review classified materials on possible wiretapping of one 'terrorist', she might order a new trial for him and MSNBC News is reporting that 5 news organizations are complaining they've been denied access to a Guantanamo case where a trial was held in secret closed sessions via e-mail.
One of the latest legal problems involves the legality of the National Security Agency (NSA) wiretapping program. Ali Al-Timimi, an islamic scholar in Northern Virginia was sentenced to life in prison in 2005 for inciting followers to commit acts of terrorism. Al-Timimi claims he was illegally wiretapped by the NSA as part of its eavesdropping without warrants that was approved by President Bush after 9/11 (although it's now public knowledge that the illegal wiretapping started long before then).
Four months after the NSA program was disclosed, an appellate court directed the trial judge in Mr. Timimi's case to reconsider it in light of his lawyers' accusations.
Flaws Found In FBI Forensic Test
A joint investigation by The Washington Post and "60 Minutes" has found that hundreds of defendants sitting in prisons nationwide were convicted with the help of an FBI forensic tool that was discarded more than two years ago, but the FBI lab hasn't taken any steps to alert affected defendants or courts, even while the window for appealing convictions is closing.
Comparative bullet-lead analysis was first used after President John F. Kennedy's assassination in 1963 (which probably should have been a clue as to how effective it was). The scientific technique used chemistry to link crime-scene bullets to ones possessed by suspects, based on the theory that each batch of lead had a unique elemental makeup.
In 2004 the nation's most prestigious scientific body concluded that variations in the manufacturing process rendered the FBI's testimony about the science "unreliable and potentially misleading."
The National Academy of Sciences determined that decades of FBI statements to jurors linking a particular bullet to those found in a suspect's gun or cartridge box were so overstated that such testimony should be considered "misleading under federal rules of evidence." One year later the bureau abandoned the analysis.
TSA List Woes Grow And Visa Games
Labeling tens of thousands of people who have been incorrectly deemed guilty until proven innocent because they happen to have the same name as "a suspected terrorist" and putting them on a No-Fly List that's currently impossible to get off of isn't enough for the Bush Administration…they also like to label critics of the Iraq war as terrorists. I thought McCarthyism died in the 1940's.
Colorado's 9News is reporting on more victims of The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) No-Fly List and how ineffective it is. Retired Major General Vernon Lewis, Jr., who served in two wars, was a Brigade Commander and still holds top-secret clearance keeps getting confused with a terrorist by the TSA.
After serving the U.S. Army for more than 30 years during Vietnam and Korea, being decorated four times for valor and receiving the Army's highest medal for service — the Distinguished Service Medal — Lewis is understandably upset about being treated like a terrorist.
Three years ago Lewis started getting delayed at airports because he shares a name with a terrorist on the TSA No-Fly List, being delayed more than 40 times. Every time he's delayed he has to stand in line and check in with an airline attendant who takes his drivers license and determines he's not a terrorist.
New Security Concerns For Feds
Another embarrassing example of the Federal Government caught with their pants down also serves as another reason why trusting them to protect your privacy could be disastrous despite delusions of government and businesses safeguarding people's private communications and financial information.
The Los Angeles Times reported that an illegal immigrant from Lebanon with relatives linked to the militant Islamic group Hezbollah forged her way to citizenship by paying a U.S. citizen to marry her, lied her way through national security background checks, joined the FBI and the CIA, then accessed government computers for restricted information relating to her relatives and a U.S. investigation into the group.
Nada Nadim Prouty, a 37-year-old Lebanese national pleaded guilty to conspiracy, unauthorized computer access and naturalization fraud, agreeing to cooperate with authorities in an ongoing investigation into the security breaches. Court papers were unsealed Tuesday providing the details.
The FBI and the CIA had tightened personnel screening and monitoring a few years ago after a CIA officer and an FBI agent were caught selling secrets to foreign governments.
How The Government Defines Privacy
As the telcos immunity games continue to roll along, the Bush administration has apparently decided to change course…instead of using the usual deceptions, lies and fear-mongering, they've reportedly moved on to deciding that it's time people in the United States changed their definition of privacy…so said a top 'intelligence' official in a comment made during a recent speech (PDF).
Donald Kerr, Deputy Director of National Intelligence, thinks privacy can no longer mean anonymity and that government and businesses should properly safeguard people's private communications and financial information. (Mike McConnell is the Director of National Intelligence, and he has a bad habit of lying to Congress under oath and using scare tactics to try to coerce submission).
Kerr's epiphany comes while Congress takes a second look at renewing a hastily changed extension of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, while the debate over the contentious issue regarding retroactive immunity for telecoms involved in civil lawsuits for their aiding the government rages on.
President Bush has promised to veto any bill that doesn't grant immunity to the telcos and everyone else involved in the governments inept, illegal data-mining operations. The current extension will expire on February 1, 2008.
The NSA Dragnet Surveillance Program
Mark Klein, a former AT&T technician is reportedly "turning in" AT&T over the National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance program, after President Bush defended the NSA's surveillance program as limited to collecting phone calls between suspected terrorists overseas and people in the United States.
In the summer of 2002 a visitor from the NSA visited the office of AT&T in San Francisco. A year or so later, Klein stumbled upon documents that, he said, nearly caused him to fall out of his chair.
The documents show that the NSA gained access to massive amounts of internet records, including e-mails and search records, of more than a dozen global and regional telecommunications providers. AT&T allowed the NSA to hook into its network, and according to Klein, many of the other telecoms most likely knew nothing about it.
Klein, 62, was in Washington this morning to share his story with Congress, in hopes that it will pursuade lawmakers not to grant legal immunity to the telecoms that were involved in the illegal surveillance activities. He worked for AT&T for 22 years before retiring in 2004, and has no qualms about "turning in" AT&T.

Another Election Manipulation Attempt
The New York Times is reporting that Republican donors are trying to get a ballot initiative that would alter the way electoral votes are apportioned in California to the benefit of Republican presidential candidates.
Earlier this summer a prominent Republican lawyer began the initiative, but financing concerns waylaid it in October. Last week a new organization began raising the roughly $2 million thought to be needed. David Gilliard, a Republican consultant, with help from Anne Dunsmore, who recently resigned from Rudolph Giuliani's presidential campaign, are spearheading the movement.
The proposed initiative would ask voters to replace California's winner-take-all 55 electoral college votes with one that parses the votes by Congressional district. Democrats have strongly opposed the initiative since it would hand the Republican nominee roughly 20 of the 55 votes.
Art Torres, head of the California Democratic Party will constitutionally challenge the initiative if it qualifies for the ballot, arguing that only state legislators can determine how electoral votes are allocated.
Telcos Immunity Games Continue
The FISA Amendment Act, currently before the Senate Judiciary Committee, would amend the questionable Protect America Act, absolving the telecoms, the president and all the others in his administration involved in the illicit wiretapping activities retroactive immunity. Two federal judges have already found that the Protect America Act is unconstitutional.
In spite of President Bush's hissy fits and demands for retroactive immunity protecting telecoms involved in more than 40 lawsuits related to illegal surveillance, using threats, deceitful and unethical propaganda and fear-mongering to feed his fantasy of being above the law, some key U.S. Senators are reportedly reluctant to offer it…they're thinking of making the taxpayers pick up the legal bills instead.
Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT.) and Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA.), the co-chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said they still don't have enough information to decide whether it's wise or not to immunize past assistance by the telecoms to a wide variety of U.S. agencies over the past six years.
Earlier this summer, Congress and the Senate quickly approved an amendment making it easier for the government to get information with no oversight (technically, it's 'monitored internally' which is the same thing) for six months, set to expire on February 1, 2008.

International Courts
Bigotry boomerangs: Atul Kochar may face up to five years in prison as per Dubai law
Kritika A· June 13, 2018
Atul Kochhar, the twice Michelin-starred chef, who claims to have "changed the way people perceive and experience Indian cuisine", tried to offer more than a taste of India to his international customers this time. Though much adored and feted widely, his food aficionados were definitely not ready to pay for his bigotry and Islamophobia, when he tweeted to actor Priyanka Chopra on Sunday, "It is sad to see that you have not respected the sentiments of Hindus who have been terrorised by Islam over 2000 years. Shame on you."
[Screenshot of Kochar's now deleted tweet]
This was in response to Priyanka Chopra 's apology for an episode of the series Quantico where she uncovers a terror plot by Hindu nationalists.
I'm extremely saddened and sorry that some sentiments have been hurt by a recent episode of Quantico. That was not and would never be my intention. I sincerely apologise. I'm a proud Indian and that will never change.
— PRIYANKA (@priyankachopra) June 9, 2018
Atul Kochhar, who ran the globally acclaimed Rang Mahal restaurant in the Dubai JW Marriott Marquis hotel and several other restaurants in United Kingdom, has now been duly sacked by the swanky, five-star hotel, that didn't want to rub its rich Muslim customers, mostly the residents of the United Arab Emirates, the wrong way.
JW Marriott Marquis Dubai terminated the chef's contract at Rang Mahal. Bill Keffer, general manager of the hotel, said in an emailed statement to the tabloid Gulf News, "Following the recent comments made by Chef Atul Kochhar, we have taken the decision to end our agreement with him for Rang Mahal. With the termination of our agreement, Chef Atul will no longer be associated with the restaurant."
Earlier JW Marriott Marquis Dubai had tweeted, distancing themselves from Kochar's public utterance: "We are aware of the comments made by Chef Atul Kochhar. We would like to stress that we do not share the same views as stated in the remark, nor is it a representation of the culture of diversity and inclusion that we pride ourselves on at the hotel."
We are aware of the comments made by Chef Atul Kochhar. We would like to stress that we do not share the same views as stated in the remark, nor is it a representation of the culture of diversity and inclusion that we pride ourselves on at the hotel.

The Twitterati were quick to respond:
"I won't be eating at @Benaresofficial after reading the racist tweet by @atulkochhar towards Muslims. Yet they serve Halal meat so I guess he is happy taking the money of Muslims but just not happy with Muslims!"
— Hasan Patel (@Hasanpatel) June 11, 2018
Many people tagged the the Dubai Police and JW Marriott Marquis Dubai to take action against the chef.
@atulkochhar says "Hindu terrorized by Islam for 2000 years"

Five years in jail, penalty up to 2 million dirhams
The United Arab Emirates has very strict laws on social media and anti-discrimination found to be spreading sectarian hate or racism. They are criminal offence and can lead to prosecution. Dubai court had ordered deportation and a fine of Dh250,000 on an Indian man accused of defaming a prominent jewellery group on social media with a false image with an intention of hurting the jewellery group.
Articles 4 (1) and (2), On Combating Discrimination and Hatred, Federal Decree Law No. 2 of 2015, states:
"Any person who commits any of the following acts shall be sentenced for the crime of blasphemy:
Offending, showing contempt or irreverence toward the Divine Entity.
Offending, insulting, challenging, defaming or disrespecting any religion or any of its rituals or sacred things, or disrupting or preventing licensed religious observances or ceremonies by violence or threat."
Article 5(a) states:
"Any person, who commits any of the acts set forth in Clauses (2, 3, 5) of Article (4) of the present Decree Law by any means of expression or by any other form or means, shall be sentenced to imprisonment for a period not less than five years and to a fine not less than 250,000 dirhams and not exceeding one million dirhams or either one of these two penalties."
Article 5(b) states:
"Any person, who commits any of the acts set forth in Clauses (1, 4) of Article (4) of this Decree Law by any means of expression or by any other form or means shall be sentenced to imprisonment for a period not less than five years and to a fine not less than 250,000 dirhams and not exceeding two million dirhams."
Realising the severity of the post, that could lead to him not only losing his job (as he already has), but also face deportation, Kochhar deleted the previous tweet and posted an "apology" on Twitter.
There is no justification for my tweet, a major error made in the heat of the moment on Sunday. I fully recognise my inaccuracies that Islam was founded around 1,400 years ago and I sincerely apologise. I am not Islamophobic, I deeply regret my comments that have offended many.
— Atul Kochhar (@atulkochhar) June 11, 2018
However, the Twitterati were quick to call out his double standards and hollow face-saver of an apology in no time.
Courage to apologise when your bigotry can cost you a livelihood! Huge difference between being a hypocrite and courageous. Courage would be to stand by what he said against all consequences
— Ashwin (@IamAshwinNaik) June 12, 2018
When I saw your tweet, I didn't even notice 2000, I noticed dehumanizing bigotry against an already marginalized community in India, but your apology focused on 2000 Vs 1400 semantics pic.twitter.com/mEAVwvW2fC

New Voices: "Shootout in Prospect Park" by Chuck Nwoke
In today's New Voices, we are thrilled to present Chuck Nwoke's "Shootout in Prospect Park," an absurdist and hyperreal examination of the protests against racial violence and police brutality at the height of the coronavirus quarantine over the summer. Nwoke's short story is incisive and concise and urgent, and we don't want to keep you from it any longer. Dig in below.
Dude had seen too many movies, played too many video games, and lit up the ground around me as I ran uphill and dove and tumbled over the bikes, taking cover behind them. A bullet ricocheted off a bike and struck the white guy. When all the shots had fired, it was as if Dude had suddenly snapped out of a white-hot blackout rage. "Oh, shit, my bad!" he yelled. Scared he'd mistakenly killed a white person, a far worse crime to him than killing me, he tossed his gun and took off running.
I was sitting in the park minding my own business when a woman in front of me got up and asked if I would watch her things.
"No problem," I said, thinking nothing of it, and she left her bike, bag and sneakers and went down the hill with her phone and yoga mat into the flat open field to do yoga.
I was stoned and on my third beer. I brought six. Police continuously lynching Black people brought me out of quarantine and into the streets with the world to protest. After my third protest in a day, I left the crowd when the drum circle started and white twenty-somethings started dancing like they were at Coachella. No justice, so fuck that peace.
Yoga-watching from the hill, I sensed somebody hovering. There was a dude next to me. He resembled a young Bizzy Bone, light-skinned with his hair pressed and in a bun. Scoping the terrain, he pulled his surgical facemask up from his chin and rolled up to the yogi's things I was watching. He lifted the bike up to see how heavy it was, then casually proceeded to jack it.
"Excuse me," I said, getting his attention. "That's not yours."
Dude played me for that new nigga—bougie, college-educated and paying too much for coffee and rent—and ignored me.
"Nigga, shut ya bitchass up!"
How the situation escalated to me being a "bitchass" so fast, I had no idea, but I wasn't taking his disrespect. "Leave that shit alone," I warned and called for the yogi but she couldn't hear me through her earbuds.

"We often ask God to show up. We pray prayers of rescue. Perhaps God would ask us to be that rescue, to be His body, to move for things that matter. He is not invisible when we come alive. I might be simple but more and more, I believe God works in love, speaks in love, is revealed in our love. I have seen that this week and honestly, it has been simple: Take a broken girl, treat her like a famous princess, give her the best seats in the house. Buy her coffee and cigarettes for the coming down, books and bathroom things for the days ahead. Tell her something true when all she's known are lies. Tell her God loves her. Tell her about forgiveness, the possibility of freedom, tell her she was made to dance in white dresses. All these things are true.
Sorry for the long quote, but it is impacting me. I very briefly highlighted this story a few months ago when I was introduced to it by a friend in Chicago, but I've been thinking about it a bit again lately. Check out the story here.
I think sometimes we can get so easily discouraged and wonder why things aren't changing or aren't turning out the way we hoped. But that is part of the paradox of the Christian life, of this journey of following Jesus – things wont always turn out how we hoped. But we still have a responsibility and a calling to act, to do something… otherwise how will anything ever change? And really, it's not that hard is it? Buy the homeless guy a cup of coffee. Talk to the Big Issue seller you walk past everyday. Be willing to be interrupted.
I guess it links back into my post about life-giving, hope-filled communities.

The date is in JSON format and I want to convert and display it in the normal format.
I was going down the route of acquiring by class name, converting and then appending; but I have hit a bit of a wall.
eventTimeConv is empty as I was going to append my converted date into there:

{{ show.datetime }}

The javascript I have written up so far:
function changeDate()
{
  var date = document.getElementsByClassName("event-date-time");

  var newDate = new Date(date);
  var dateConverted = newDate.toDateString();

  var div = document.getElementsByClassName("eventTimeConv");
}

The conversion to dateConverted fails due to 'date' being a collection I'm assuming.
Can anyone provide some guidance here? Or an alternate method?

A: if you like to try momentjs then just format your date as-

  {{ moment(show.datetime).format('YYYY-MM-DD h:mm') }}

A: GetElementsByClassName will return an array of all the divs with that class. So when you pass the date variable to new Date() function is not receiving a valid date string.
You will have to loop through that array and pick out the value you want to set to set the date for.

High-Intensity Interval Training: Multi-Beneficial Exercise Regime
September 14, 2016 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)
High-intensity interval training (HIIT), also called High-Intensity Intermittent Exercise (HIIE) or sprint interval training (SIT), is an enhanced form of interval training, an exercise strategy alternating periods of short intense anaerobic exercise with less-intense recovery periods. HIIT is a form of cardiovascular exercise. Usual HIIT sessions may vary from 4–30 minutes. These short, intense workouts provide improved athletic capacity and condition, improved glucose metabolism, and improved fat burning.
Procedure of High-intensity interval training
A HIIT session often consists of a warm up period of exercise, followed by three to ten repetitions of high intensity exercise, separated by medium intensity exercise for recovery, and ending with a period of cool down exercise. The high intensity exercise should be done at near maximum intensity. The medium exercise should be about 50% intensity. The number of repetitions and length of each depends on the exercise, but may be as little as three repetitions with just 20 seconds of intense exercise.
There is no specific formula to HIIT. Depending on one's level of cardiovascular development, the moderate-level intensity can be as slow as walking. A common formula involves a 2:1 ratio of work to recovery periods, for example, 30–40 seconds of hard sprinting alternated with 15–20 seconds of jogging or walking. The entire HIIT session may last between four and thirty minutes, meaning that it is considered to be an excellent way to maximize a workout that is limited on time.
Peter Coe regimen
A type of high-intensity interval training with short recovery periods was used in the 1970s by the athletics coach Peter Coe when setting sessions for his son Sebastian Coe. Inspired by the principles propounded by the German coach and university professor Woldemar Gerschler and the Swedish physiologist Per-Olof Astrand, Coe set sessions involving repeated fast 200 metre runs with only 30 seconds recovery between each fast run.
Tabata regimen
A version of HIIT was based on a 1996 study by Professor Izumi Tabata initially involving Olympic speedskaters, uses 20 seconds of ultra-intense exercise (at an intensity of about 170% of VO2max) followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated continuously for 4 minutes (8 cycles). The exercise was performed on a mechanically braked cycle ergometer. Tabata called this the IE1 protocol. In the original study, athletes using this method trained 4 times per week, plus another day of steady-state training, and obtained gains similar to a group of athletes who did steady state training (70% VO2max) 5 times per week. The steady state group had a higher VO2max at the end (from 52 to 57 mL/(kg•min), but the Tabata group had started lower and gained more overall (from 48 to 55 mL/(kg•min). Also, only the Tabata group had gained anaerobic capacity benefits.
Gibala regimen
Professor Martin Gibala and his team at McMaster University in Canada have been researching high-intensity exercise for several years. Their 2009 study on students uses 3 minutes for warming up, then 60 seconds of intense exercise (at 95% of VO2max) followed by 75 seconds of rest, repeated for 8–12 cycles. Subjects using this method trained 3 times per week, and obtained gains similar to what would be expected from subjects who did steady state (50–70% VO2max) training five times per week. While still a demanding form of training, this exercise protocol could be used by the general public with nothing more than an average exercise bike.
Gibala's group published a less intense version of their regimen in a 2011 paper in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. This was intended as a gentler option for sedentary people who had done no exercise for over a year. It included 3 minutes of warm-up, 10 repetitions of 60-second bursts at 60% peak power (80- 95% of heart rate reserve) each followed by 60 seconds of recovery, and then a 5-minute cool-down.
Timmons regimen
Jamie Timmons, professor of systems biology at the University of Loughborough, is a proponent of a few short bursts of flat-out intensity. In a BBC Horizon programme in February 2012, he put Michael J. Mosley on an exercise bike regimen consisting of three sets of about 2 minutes of gentle pedalling followed by 20 second bursts of cycling at maximum effort. This was done three times a week for a total of 3 minutes of intense exercise per week, plus some warm-up and recovery time. Measurable health benefits were reported, including significantly improved insulin sensitivity.
Aerobic Benefits of High-intensity interval training
Studies by Tabata, Tremblay and others have explored the effectiveness of this method compared to traditional endurance training methods. A 2008 study by Gibala et al. demonstrated 2.5 hours of sprint interval training produced similar biochemical muscle changes to 10.5 hours of endurance training and similar endurance performance benefits. According to a study by King, HIIT increases the resting metabolic rate (RMR) for the following 24 hours due to excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, and may improve maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) more effectively than doing only traditional, long aerobic workouts. Tabata's 1997 study concluded that "intermittent exercise defined by the IE1 protocol may tax both the anaerobic and aerobic energy releasing systems almost maximally." Around 20% of participants in Timmons' 2010 study showed less than 5% improvement in aerobic capacity. Conversely, about 20% of participants were described as "high-responders". A complex mixture of genes are involved, but differences in 11 single-nucleotide polymorphisms alone could predict 23% of the total variance in VO2max. Timmons was able to demonstrate that about half of the responsiveness of aerobic capacity to HIIT was genetically determined.
High-intensity interval training has also been shown to improve athletic performance. For already well-trained athletes, improvements in performance become difficult to attain; increases in training volume may yield no improvements. Previous research would suggest that, for athletes who are already well-trained, improvements in endurance performance can be achieved through high-intensity interval training. A 2009 study by Driller and co-workers showed an 8.2 second improvement in 2000m rowing time following 4 weeks of HIIT in well-trained rowers. This equates to a significant 2% improvement after just 7 interval-training sessions. The interval-training used by Driller and colleagues involved eight 2.5 minute work bouts at 90% of vVO2max, separated by individualized recovery intervals.
Metabolic benefits of High-intensity interval training
Long aerobic workouts have been promoted as the best method to reduce fat, as it is popularly believed that fatty acid utilization usually occurs after at least 30 minutes of training. HIIT is somewhat counterintuitive in this regard, but has nonetheless been shown to burn fat more effectively.There may be a number of factors that contribute to this, including an increase in resting metabolic rate. HIIT also significantly lowers insulin resistance and causes skeletal muscle adaptations that result in enhanced skeletal muscle fat oxidation and improved glucose tolerance.
Timmons' group has shown that two weeks of HIIT can substantially improve insulin action in young healthy men. In the aforementioned Horizon documentary, Michael Mosley, a borderline diabetic, saw a 24% improvement in insulin sensitivity after 4 weeks of Timmons' 3×20-second HIIT regimen, exactly in line with Timmons' larger studies. Gibala's group reported a 35% increase in both insulin sensitivity and muscle oxidative capacity among seven sedentary people after just two weeks on the lower-intensity regimen outlined above.
Timmons believes that this response is due to HIIT using 80% of muscles in the body, compared to 40% for gentle jogging and cycling. Similarly, in young women, HIIT three times per week for 15 weeks compared to the same frequency of steady state exercise (SSE) was associated with significant reductions in total body fat, subcutaneous leg and trunk fat, and insulin resistance. HIIT may therefore help to prevent type-2 diabetes.
Cardiovascular disease with regard to High-intensity interval training
A 2011 study by Buchan et al. assessing the effect of HIIT on cardiovascular disease markers in adolescents reported that "brief, intense exercise is a time efficient means for improving CVD risk factors in adolescents".
Criticism of High-intensity interval training
In one study of participants who were obese and sedentary, researchers compared the benefits and results of cardiovascular exercise, at the optimal intensity for fat oxidation specifically, with eucaloric interval training, which was found to be less effective: "A continuous exercise training protocol that can elicit high rates of fat oxidation increases the contribution of fat to substrate oxidation during exercise and can significantly increase insulin sensitivity compared with a eucaloric interval protocol."

A rare whiskey went on sale Saturday at a shop in Old City that is raising some eyebrows.
PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) -- Just in time for Father's Day. A rare whiskey went on sale Saturday at a shop in Old City that is raising some eyebrows.
Art in the Age is a one-of-a-kind tasting room, home bar, supply and bottle shop. And it's the only place where you can get a 2-year-old bourbon whiskey called "Eau De Musc," made with an unusual natural flavor agent.
"It's infused with beaver castoreum," said Steve Grasse, the founder of Philly-based Quaker City Mercantile. "It has a vanilla and raspberry type flavor."
It's a substance that comes from the castor gland of a beaver.
Grasse partnered with Tamworth Distilling in New Hampshire to create the 88 proof spirit. He says the concept was based on history.
"Beaver secretions were used in flavoring by various immigrant groups that came to America years ago," Grasse explained, "like the Swedes."
"Eau De Musc" is in a 200ML vintage perfume style bottle and costs $65.

NYC Making Abortion Pills Available At City Run Clinics
WBGO | By Scott Pringle
Olivier Douliery
In this photo illustration, a person looks at an abortion pill (RU-486) for unintended pregnancy from Mifepristone displayed on a smartphone on May 8, 2020, in Arlington, Va. Under federal law, even in states where telemedicine abortion is legal, there are strict rules surrounding how the pill is dispensed.
New York City is offering free access to abortion pills starting today at a city run sexual health clinic.
By the end of the year, there will be four city run clinics to offer the abortion pill. The Morrisania Sexual Health Clinic in the Bronx is the first. It started making them available Wednesday. Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan says this in addition to the abortion services being offered by city run hospitals. However, he says unlike the hospitals, the city run health clinics will not ask patients about their citizenship status and insurance.
"This is city dollars going to this specific purpose and we are the first in the nation to do that."
The initiative is part of a series of women's health services just announced by the mayor.

The Peanuts Movie gets its DVD release and Meghan Trainor talks about "empowering 'self-love' songs"
in Film & TV
by Alice Marshall May 30, 2016, 9:36 pm 197 Views
'The Peanuts Movie', featuring all our childhood faves like Charlie Brown and Snoopy, has had its DVD release today, and we are dead excited to be transported back to simpler times when we were younger and more carefree.
What's more, we can't wait to hear the two new songs by Meghan Trainor that were recorded exclusively for the film, 'Better When I'm Dancin" and 'Good To Be Alive'. On top of all that wonderfulness, she also had a lot to say on the movie itself and how she got involved and what she loves most about the Peanuts gang.
"Fox asked me whether I would be interested in doing a song for the film, because they liked my confidence and my empowering 'self-love' songs and they said 'we want something similar for this movie'," Meghan said when asked how she got involved in the first place. "They wanted something that would help people to feel confident, and that would help Charlie Brown to feel confident."
Yaaas, Queen! If there's something Meghan Trainor does well, it's those self love anthems. We are all about those!
She also pointed out the importance of relatability within the Peanuts gang and its mark on helping us see the light in tough life situations. Also, there's the fact that its characters are iconic and timeless, which plays a huge part in why Meghan loves it, obvs.
"My grandmother and my parents watched 'Peanuts'. All generations love it; kids nowadays love it and immediately relate to the comic strip, because it's about the struggle of Charlie Brown and what he goes through and how he overcomes all his challenges."
Tbh, we'd have to agree that it's for sure comforting watching films and seeing that it's normal to struggle — sometimes we forget and we think Meghan is a babe for pointing that out.
What's even more refreshing is that Meghan expressed how buzzing she was to be a part of 'The Peanuts Movie'.
"Being a part of the 'Peanuts' movie is a big deal. I was terrified and honoured […] It was the first time ever that I've had a song in a movie. It was amazing. I was in the theatre, my whole family was with me and we were eating popcorn and enjoying the movie. But I remember my heart was pounding out of my chest because I knew my song was coming up. I didn't know exactly when it was coming up, but I kept saying 'all right, it's going to be here soon!' Then when it finally happened, truthfully, I wanted to stand up and dance, but I kept my cool. My brothers and I were dancing in our seats. It was very emotional. I cried when I walked out of the theatre. It was definitely a special moment for me and my family."
Aw, bless her. She is gem, isn't she?
Well, we can't wait to watch the film and hear the new Meghan Trainor tracks. We're even more excited after hearing what genuine emotional investment she has in the Peanuts gang and all the things they get up to.

Day trips to Bolnisi and region of Kvemo Kartli are quite possible and easy done from Tbilisi.
As we were traveling with our 5-month-old daughter it was important to return home the same day, though there are some great hotels available in Bolnisi. Bolnisi is located just some 70 km from Tbilisi and it might take about 1 hour and 30 minutes to get there.
Bolnisi is located in the Kvemo Kartli region, Georgia. It has an estimated 13,800 inhabitants.
In 1818 the colony Katharinenfeld was founded in Bolnisi by 95 German colonist families from Swabia. There are still remnants of the German past in Bolnisi. A small street called Mill Street has evidence of 19th-century German architecture and a few signs in the German language that date from the early 20th century.
Bolnisi has long been the seat of a bishop or archbishop and is the home of the oldest dated Christian structure in Georgia. It is known as Bolnisi Sioni. A dedication Bolnisi inscriptions from the Bolnisi church, carved in the late 5th century, is one of the oldest dated specimens of Georgian writing.
