New Jerusalem Celebrates 50 Years
Whenever we get an opportunity to remember the heyday of Mass Choirs, we seize the opportunity. Now, truth be told, we got a little misty eyed and waxed nostalgic with news of New Jerusalem Full Gospel Baptist Church celebrating its 50th anniversary on October 17th and 18th. An anticipated part of the celebration is the reunion of the New Jerusalem Inspirational Choir. Under the direction of Curtis Hayes and Jeffrey LaValley, New Jerusalem made its mark recording some 10 albums giving us a reason to go to Flint, Michigan to hear Sunday morning church music with HITS that include Everything Will Be Alright (with James Cleveland), The Lord is My Light, I Can't Feel At Home, His Eye is on the Sparrow, Show Me the Way (with the inimitable voice of the late Bishop Odis Floyd on lead) and the unforgettable Revelations 19 (Hallelujah, Salvation and Glory).
Here's some throwback music for your listening enjoyment

Interview : Israel Houghton – "Covered: Alive In Asia" (2015)
Wednesday, August 5th, 2015
Multi Grammy, Stellar, and Dove award winning artist Israel Houghton returns with his new album "Covered: Alive in Asia" which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Gospel and Christian Charts. This was Houghton's seventh album in his career to debut at the top of the charts. This live worship experience was recorded across the continent of Asia in stadiums in Jakarta, Indonesia, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Korea, Tokyo, and Manila. The album features new songs with Grammy Award Winners Yolanda Adams and Tye Tribett and Gospel rising sensation Jonathan McReynolds. Houghton teams up with longtime producing partner Aaron Lindsay to bring forth the groups legendary sound. Covered: Alive in Asia is the groups 10th album, as they celebrate 15 years of Ministry.
GOSPElflava's Martin Williams recently caught up with Israel to discuss the new albums all the elements that went into making this project a chart topping success.
Martin: You've recorded albums all over the world, why did you decide to go to Asia?
Israel: We've been going there for seven or eight years as a team, and we have developed a good re pore in several countries there. When you go certain places and you realize there is a grace for you to be there and you like how you feel with those crowds and churches there, the thought about doing an album there begins to creep in. And it just so happen this particular Asian tour last fall worked out great to carry a film and audio crew to capture the energy of these six great places in Asia.
Martin: I listened to one of the tracks on the album and you said there was such a spirit of expectation and a hunger for GOD's presence. What was it like being in those venues with all of those worshipers on one accord?
Israel: It was absolutely fantastic! No disrespect to us here in America but we have so many options. You can throw a rock and go have a great worship experience somewhere and go hear some of the greatest singers and musicians. In Asia that's rare for them. It only happens every once in a while. So they come out in significant numbers to experience this and they don't just stand around they engage. It's incredibly refreshing especially when you are trying to teach brand new songs. Versus here in America where they may not get with you until you sing something that they like or something that's familiar. Over there their attitude is BRING IT ON!
Martin: It's been almost 15 years since your album "New Season" was released. Fast forward to now do you still feel the same excitement? Are you apprehensive? Are you concerned if the fans will like it? How do you feel?
Israel: I think it's all of the above. I'm still very much excited about recording, writing, and releasing music. Certainly in 2000 and 2001 when "New Season" was released records were bought and sold differently than now. That album was released in the pre I- Tunes and streaming days. People had to actually have to go and buy the physical CD. Now it's very different there are so many options and it's harder to get the ground swell. When we did "Live From Another Level" it was our first album to sell 500,000 units and the album was certified "Gold" within a year. That blew our minds. And to sell that many units now is quite an undertaking. The beauty is that we don't do what we do for the accolades, awards, or sales. Our rewards are ultimately found in the lives of people. The older I get the less panicked I am about a release. I don't fret about how it's going to do on the radio or will it go to the number 1 spot on Billboard. Most of our records end up selling for long periods of time. They are not just a quick release and you forget about them. Because we are out in front of people all the time our albums tend to have a longer life of sales. We've had Number 1's, gold records and awards, so hopefully we are past having to prove ourselves and drive ourselves crazy. Ultimately it's about people being blessed and connected to this music.
Martin: Does it still surprise you when you go out all over the world and the people know your music?
Israel: It's such a true blessing and its speaks to the power of mediums like GOSPELflava and Gospel radio because people have the opportunity to connect with our sound and vision. You all get the word out and I'm grateful. It never gets old getting up and starting a song and hearing the crowd take it over, never gets old. I love when I can step back from the microphone and let the audience sing. I become a kid in those moments!
Martin: Out of all of your albums what's the one song that you can't go through a concert without singing?
Israel: It's pretty much a tie between "You Are Good" and "Friend Of God". If we ever leave the stage and don't do "Friend of God" it's going to be a problem. It's like Marvin Sapp leaving the stage without singing "Never Would Have Made It' or Kirk Franklin not doing "Stomp" or "Why We Sing". I tell you the one song that' gained momentum of the years and that's "Moving Forward". I've noticed we can't get through a set without at least hitting the bridge of that song. I'm honored that I've been apart of writing some staples and putting those out. It never gets old to me.
Martin: With all the recent tragedies in the world, how important is it that believers continue to cultivate a life of worship?
Israel: It's never been more important than the days we are living in now. Here we are in the most connective generations of all time through the way of social networking but we've also become extremely disconnected by the same reasons. I think the Gospel and the unity that comes from knowing who Jesus is best served and experienced together. What is tragic for me is that these horrible atrocities happen and that causes us to get off our phones for a second and come together as a community. I wish we didn't need tragedy to do that. That's one of the things I Love about church there is an hour and half in the week where we come together to say we are connected under one name and one faith. In this day and age we need that because we don't have a lot of good news on Television. The definition of the Gospel is the good news.
Martin: On the album you collaborate with Tye Tribbett, Yolanda Adams, and Jonathan McReynolds, how was it working with those artists?
Israel: Well after so many years I think people have realized that I love doing collaborations. On "New Season" we had Keith Staten from Commissioned. The second album "Real", I used a lot of Andrae Crouch's crew, I didn't do a lot of collaborations on "Live From Another Level", but Michael Gunger worked with me on that. Of course the son of South Africa himself Jonathan Butler worked with me on "Alive In South Africa". " A Deeper Level" featured Chris Tomlin, YPJ. My Christmas album, " A Timeless Christmas" has to be my favorite in terms of collaborations because it featured Marvin Winans, CeCe Winans, Lalah Hathaway and many others it was a dream come true. I've worked with Fred Hammond, Kirk Franklin, Take 6, so for me it's about how the song its best served with another voice and artist. I've never been super particular either about collaborations. An artist doesn't' have to be of a certain stature for them to be featured on one of my songs. It's all about what's going to enhance the song. In some cases I've been very fortunate that' the collaboration does help boost the cache of the album as well as the song.
Martin: You take a classic contemporary Christian song, "Mighty to Save" and you give an upbeat island flair, what made you remix the song?
Israel: For us its something we've been doing for years, and just never recorded it. Initially we were going to put it on "Jesus At The Center". The group and myself found ourselves doing a lot of festivals. And sometimes at these festivals people don't know us very well so its important to have songs that people know in reserve so they can join in on the experience. It's always good to have songs you can always add a New Breed twist to it.
Martin: At the end of the day what do you want the listeners to take away from "Covered: Alive In Asia"?
Israel: I want them to take away that hope is not relegated to just one community, skin tone, or preference. Gospel is good news and it needs to be global. There are people in Asia who love Gospel music and this message and you may never see them. We have brothers and sisters who don't look or talk like us but they serve the same God. It's a beautiful thing to know. I want people to know Israel and new breed as ambassadors.
Israel's Latest Release, "Covered: Alive In Asia" is available in stores and online. The project features a 16 track digital deluxe version and limited edition CD/DVD combo pack that includes 13 tracks plus a documentary offering an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the recording process and footage of some of the most beautiful and exotic cities in Asia. Additionally, later this year, Houghton will release a special 90 minute concert film with exclusive performances and interviews.

Woops - I've only just discovered this topic lurking near the bottom of the forum.
Anyway, we meet Frank Pattison and CH cyclists tomorrow (10th April) at the King of Prussi pub on Fowey Town Quay at 6:30pm. Join us if you can.
Old Blues in Cornwall met up at Flushing Sailing Club on August 21st - a wonderful, warm, summer, Sunday.
Dr Peter Southern entered to the strains of "Sussex by the Sea" by the school band (recorded). Roll Call was followed by Grace before Meat confidently read by John Sandys. This was the prelude to a superb cold collation ending with mountains of delicious stawberries and oodles of thick Cornish Clotted cream. All was washed down by wines specially selected by Peter Portwood (Master of Bibulations).
Following Grace after Meat (Peter Richardson managed "charitable benevolence" with great delicacy and precision despite the copious refills being admistered by Portwood and his young acolytes), the Housey toast was robustly proposed by our senior member, Bill Spenceley who arrived at Horsham in its early years.
In his reply, the Headmaster spoke of the current developments at the school and of the plans for future development. He also made Old Blues aware of the current, rather desperate, financial situation now faced by the Foundation. However, despite all the changes, despite all the problems, we were assured that Christ's Hospital would not depart one iota from the wishes of the Founder; namely to give a sound education to those children most in need.
Moved, no doubt, by the sparkling water around us and dozens of little sailing boats enjoying the afternoon breeze, David Taplin asked the headmaster about the lack of any sailing provision at the school. He pointed out that sailing was the one sport in which the UK held a position of world dominance and suggested that a small fleet of 420 dinghies would be a most worthwhile acquisition. In this he was supported by Tom Snook a former member of staff who, in his time, had been master in charge of sailing.
While Dr Southern was clearly concerned about the practicalities, both in terms of cost and staffing, his obvious sympathies were clear; he was last seen sailing away into Falmouth Bay together his wife Dinah and David Eastburn and family - no doubt to spend a peaceful night at anchor in some quiet Cornish cove.

Bill Spenceley (Mid B 24-29) entertained some older Old Blues to lunch at his lovely Feock home overlooking the Fal estuary to-day. Although we were somewhat saddened and subdued by the recent death of Peter Portwood (see elsewhere on this forum) who together with his wife Wendy had planned to be present, we were royally entertained by our host who, as always, was in excellent form.
Among those present were: Bill Spenceley, Roff and Jo Rayner, David and Judith Eastburn, Master Oliver Eastburn and Valerie White. On display, were a number of books and memorabilia (including Bill's broadie) and some photographs dating back to the 1920s. Two of these i hope to display on this forum if I can work out how to do it. One is of Bill as a Squit in 1924 (he relates that his immensely proud parents made him hold the book to look more academic) and the other of the Band in 1927 - Bill played the euphonium.

Important 18 Days For Athletic Bilbao
by David on August 13, 2012
The next 18 days will be some of the most important ones in the history of Athletic Bilbao.
In the midst of transfer requests and contract extension rejections from striker, Fernando Llorente and centre-back, Fernando Amorebieta, it is being reported that Athletic are also willing to listen to transfer offers for Spanish international, Javi Martinez, as well.
For the defensive midfielder, Athletic say Martinez can go if someone meets his €40 million release clause. In today's economic climate that is unlikely. But if you are Athletic Bilbao such an offer would be impossible to turn down as it would essential cover all debts owed by the club.
The more likely scenario is that Athletic sell Fernando Llorente (€36 million release clause) to Italy and Fernando Amorebieta (€30 million release clause) to England, generating more than enough funds to pay off the clubs debt without the need to sell Martinez.
The question thought for Athletic boss Marcelo Bielsa is what does the sale of two of their best players mean for a club that impressed fans across Europe with their style of play in Bilbao's run to UEFA Europa League final last season.? Will Athletic be able to compete for a top four position in the league this season or will they end up being a midtable side after the sale of Llorente and Amorebieta?

Tyler Childers Brings Newly-Released 'Country Squire' Album to the Stage in NYC [PICTURES]
Patrick Tewey
Tyler Childers celebrated the Aug. 2 release of his highly anticipated sophomore offering, Country Squire, with a packed-out performance at Webster Hall in New York, N.Y. on Monday (Aug. 5). Flip through the gallery above to see photos of the singer's set!
In addition to playing for a jam-packed room, Childers also live-streamed the show via nugs.tv as well as his official website, inviting fans from all corners of the world to join him as he celebrated the new material. The concert marked the first of a busy couple of days for the Americana and country singer; the day after the release show, on Tuesday (Aug. 6), he is set to appear on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, for what will be his broadcast television debut.
The release of Country Squire once again cemented Childers as one of country music's most vivid storytellers, displaying an impressive array of story songs over the course of the project. During his N.Y.C. show, Childers' focus wasn't on flashy production or onstage acrobatics: He simply stood in front of the microphone, focusing on his music's compelling lyrical style and imagery.
Childers first announced the new project in May of 2019, simultaneously sharing the first look into his new project, a song called "House Fire." Despite that track's turn towards more trippy sonic experimentation, the project as a whole stays true to the Appalachian, string-focused sound that Childers mastered with his first album, Purgatory.
The singer's upcoming Country Squire Run Tour will begin in October. For full ticketing information, visit Childers' website.

Solomon is the writer. This fact is very well established among conservative expositors, and there is no other reasonable explanation for the book.
Solomon also wrote the Books of Proverbs and the Song of Solomon. We will find Ecclesiastes to be quite different from the Book of Proverbs. In Proverbs we saw the wisdom of Solomon; here we shall see the foolishness of Solomon. Ecclesiastes is the dramatic autobiography of his life when he was away from God.
Ecclesiastes indicates a preacher or a philosopher. I rather like the term philosopher because it is less likely to be misunderstood.
To correctly understand any book of the Bible, it is important to know the purpose for which it was written. We need to back off and get a perspective of the book. We need to put down the telescope on the Word of God before we pick up the microscope. The necessity for this is more evident here than in many of the other books of the Bible.
This is human philosophy apart from God, which must always reach the conclusions that this book reaches. We need to understand this about Ecclesiastes because there are many statements which contradict certain other statements of Scripture.
Actually, it almost frightens us to know that this book has been the favorite of atheists, and they have quoted from it profusely. Voltaire is an example. Today we find the cynic and the critic are apt to quote from this book. And it is quite interesting to note the number of cults that use passages from this book out of context and give them an entirely wrong meaning.
Man has tried to be happy without God; it is being tried every day by millions of people. This book shows the absurdity of the attempt. Solomon was the wisest of men, and he had a wisdom that was God–given. He tried every field of endeavor and pleasure that was known to man, and his conclusion was that all is vanity. The word vanity means "empty, purposeless." Satisfaction in life can never be attained in this manner.
God showed Job, a righteous man, that he was a sinner in God's sight. In Ecclesiastes God showed Solomon, the wisest man, that he was a fool in God's sight. This is a book from which a great many professors, Ph.D.s and Th.D.s, and preachers could learn a great lesson. In spite of all their wisdom, in spite of all attempts at being intellectual, unregenerate men in the sight of God are fools. That, my friend, is something that is hard to swallow for those who put an emphasis upon their I.Q. and the amount of knowledge and information that they have accumulated.
Thou knowest, Lord, I'm growing older.
And speak of good old days I miss.
Think folk should jump at my command.
And realize my own mistakes.
Instead of crusty, sour, and mean.

"Regional Migration Governance in the African Continent: Current state of affairs and the way forward" 10.11.2016
10/11/2016 /in News /by GovInn
The Centre for the Study of Governance Innovation (GovInn) has just released its latest research report on the current state of affairs and the way forward on regional migration governance on the African continent. The report is released in collaboration with The Development and Peace Foundation (sef:) and was made possible with generous funding from Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit gGmbH (GIZ), Germany Globalvorhaben Flüchtlinge on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation (Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ).
Authored by GovInn Director Lorenzo Fioramonti and Deputy-Director Chris Nshimbi under the title of "Regional Migration Governance in the African Continent: Current state of affairs and the way forward" the report gives an overview on migration legislation as well as policy initiatives and their implementation in West, East and Southern Africa. Further, it points to future scenarios of regional migration in Africa and gives political recommendations to external actors. The study builds on the discussions of this year's Potsdam Spring Dialogues on the topic of "Pathways Towards Coordinated African Migration Governance. The African Regional Organisations' Role". The Study has been submitted by the UNESCO-UNU Chair in Regional Integration, Migration and Free Movement of People of the University of Pretoria. The full Report can be viewed here.

2017 IGU-UGI Thematic Conference
Transnational conflicts in Africa: Migration, mobility and peace
While wars and conflicts in Africa generally occur within the territorial boundaries of affected states, they tend to spill over across borders into proximate and neighboring countries. Most victims of such wars and conflict also share historical and ethnic backgrounds with kith and kin in neighboring countries and tend to flee, for refuge and asylum, to the peaceful proximate neighbors. Cases have been recorded in which governments in the conflict ridden states openly accused their neighbors of fueling the conflict in the accuser's territory. Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Rwanda and Uganda in the Great Lakes Region are good contemporary cases in point. This session will explore the dynamics of the transnational nature of conflicts in Africa and examine the relationship between conflict and the spatial mobilities of borders, as well as the migration regimes within which states that share contiguous borders in given geographic territories are embedded. In this CFP, we invite papers that interrogate these themes as well as topics including, but not limited to:
How do the contiguous border regimes in Africa precipitate the fueling of transnational conflict?
What patterns do such conflicts follow?
Who are the victims and the perpetrators? Could transnational dynamics of conflict provide the basis for negotiating lasting peace or, on the contrary, do they fuel conflict?
Are there any linkages between, among others, coloniality of borders, conflict, and sociocultural and ethnic relations?
What role could the porosity of borders in Africa play in sustaining and perpetuating conflict?
Could the porosity of African borders and migration patterns also provide a foundation for building peace?

The African Union and African Economic Community: Territorial and economic arrangements for peace in Africa
Concerned with the plight of especially women and children as major victims of wars, civil conflicts, human rights violations, humanitarian disasters, gender-based violence and violent conflicts, and genocide, the African Union (AU) has committed to speeding-up actions that will "silence the guns by 2020" in its Agenda 2063, in order to make peace a reality for all people in Africa. This resonates with sustainable development goals (SDGs) 5 and 16 to achieve gender equality and promote peace, justice and strong institutions for development. These attempts conform with the AU's plans to establish a continental free trade area (CFTA) in 2017. The CFTA should lead to the establishment of the African Economic Community (AEC) in 2028, according to the Abuja Treaty for the Establishment of the AEC. Besides low intra-regional trade, persistent war and conflict are commonly cited as a major reason and evidence of the failure of regional integration, in Africa at least. In this regard, a connection exists between conflict on the one hand and regional integration and peace on the other, based on the understanding that peace is essential to unimpeded trade, development and inter-state cooperation. Against this background and in this CFP, we invite papers that interrogate these themes as well as topics including, but not limited to:
How does obsessive regard for territorial sovereignty impact on the readiness and the extent to which the supranational AU, the AU Commission (AUC) and respective member states can and intervene in domestic conflicts occurring in African states?
Does the absence of war guarantee a peace that ensures distribution, location and spatial organization of economic activities leading to successful regional integration?
Practically, how can ambitions to establish a single geo- political and economic space from Africa's tapestry of states, economies, cultures and customs by the AU be translated into a mosaic of grassroots, meso- and macro- level actors committed to peaceful coexistence?

Extended deadline for abstracts: "Autochthony, Allochthony and Belonging"
"Autochthony, Allochthony and Belonging: Migration, Xenophobia and Social Cohesion in the Southern African Region"
Migration is not new in the Southern African region. Its long history dates back to the late 19th century into the colonial, post-independence and post-Cold War eras, and into the late 1980s and early 1990s when most economies in Southern Africa underwent neoliberal economic reforms and structural adjustments. The economic reforms coincided with the end of apartheid in South Africa. South Africa's emergence as the economic hub of Southern Africa coupled with the long history of migration across Southern Africa makes South Africa a destination of choice for various categories of migrants including labour, informal traders, medical, education and training, cultural and kinship relations, etc. The post-reform and post-apartheid period has thus witnessed increased immigration into South Africa from Southern and other parts of Africa. The increase in numbers of immigrants in South Africa has created tensions and hostilities directed towards immigrants. The African immigrants in South Africa have thus been constructed as the problematic new comers who take away jobs from South Africans and strain the national socioeconomic infrastructure, pressuring government and limiting its ability to provide essential socioeconomic services and employment to its citizens. This social topography, which has elevated South African citizens and led to the relegation of immigrants to the subaltern, with calls for their evisceration and interpellation, partly explains the so-called xenophobia and discourse around xenophobic attacks currently prevalent in South Africa since the early 2000s. While foreigners and agencies such as the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) brand targeted attacks on foreigners and their businesses by South African citizens as xenophobia, South African authorities rather brand such attacks as acts of criminality, or even 'Afrophobia', and not xenophobic. Against this background, this session proposes to (a) gain a proper understanding and conceptualisation of the notion xenophobia and (b) deliberate ways in which social cohesion can be promoted to encourage harmony between foreigners and South African citizens. The dearth of scholarly engagement in academia and policy attention in government circles around regional migration, xenophobia, local integration and social cohesion in Southern Africa makes engaging in this discourse imperative.

"Sociocultural Encounters in Geography: Borders, Borderlands, Grassroots Non-State Actors and the Southern African Regional Integration Project"
The geographical and socio-economic landscapes of the contiguous border areas in Southern African suggest de facto processes of regional integration. The historical, socio-economic and cultural interactions, enhanced by geography, that characterise these borderlands form sub-regions that not only defy border controls but also achieve alternative processes of regional integration. This has not received much scholarly attention and recognition from policy makers. Therefore, this session takes, as its point of departure, the debates around borders, borderlands, sub-and regional integration and aims to interrogate the place of local, grassroots non-State actors and their rich historical, socioeconomic and cultural interactions facilitated by geographic proximity in Southern Africa's borderlands, in the SADC's regional integration project. Hence the questions; do "spaces of flows" replace "spaces of places" in Southern Africa's borderlands? Are economic regions outside formal state organisation likely to emerge in these contiguous border areas? Contrary to top down approaches to regional integration, the session will explore alternative approaches to regional integration in the SADC and advance perspectives that question current thinking and conceptualization of regional integration in the Southern African region and in Africa, in general. Several questions shall, therefore, be explored such as: how does the role of grassroots non-State actors in the Southern African region compare with other parts of the world?
Please register and submit your abstract (200-250 words) at the IGC China 33rd International Geographical Congress website by following the link below.

How Citizens Are Reshaping Regional Governance in Times of Crisis
Edited by Lorenzo Fioramonti
Contributions by Chukwudi David Anyanwu; Mercedes Botto; Alan Collins; Antonio Fiori; Andréas Godsäter; Okechukwu C. Iheduru; Sunhyuk Kim; Helen E.S. Nesadurai; Marco Pinfari; Jan Aart Scholte and Andy Storey
(Lexington Books, 2015)
Supranational regionalism and regional integration have for a long time been top-down processes, led by the few and imposed on the many. The role of citizens, especially those active in civil society, has been neglected by scholars, students, and commentators of regionalism. In reaction to the prevalence of these top-down models, a "new regionalism" approach has proliferated in the past few years. This book aims to further develop such a research agenda by providing an up-to-date overview of the contribution of civil society to world regionalism, from Europe to Africa, Asia, and the Americas. This is not only relevant as a research topic; it is also of critical importance from a political standpoint. As regions across the world experience prolonged governance crises, it becomes paramount to understand the extent to which these new regional formations actually reflect the interests and needs of their people. While old regionalism was accepted as a de facto elite-driven byproduct of both the Cold War and neoliberal globalization, the twenty-first-century regionalism—if it is to survive—will need to refocus its objectives through new forms of participation and inclusion. Regions without citizens are unlikely to stand the test of time, especially in times of crises.

With Father's Day quickly approaching, you may find yourself at a loss as to what to buy dear old dad. If he reads Townhall, then you have it made. However, for the few of you who find yourself in that awkward situation where you suspect your father might just be a snowflake, here's a helpful guide in both identifying telltale symptoms and helpful gift antidotes.
#15. He kneels or sits during the National Anthem.
#14. His name is Robert DeNiro.
#13. He recently supported a recession and a "crashing economy" to "get rid of Trump."
#12. He has ever had a pedicure or manicure.
#11. The mere mention of any of the following sends him into a screaming tirade: Donald Trump, Fox News, Jesus Christ, Rush Limbaugh, the Koch brothers, AR-15, tax cuts, Mike Pence, and Ronald Reagan.
#10. He was rooting for Trump to fail in attempts to denuclearize North Korea.
#9. He believes Salon and Mother Jones are legitimate news sources.
#8. He has binged watched all episodes of Property Brothers.
#7. He has a Pinterest account.
#6. He thinks an AR-15 is a "scary, weapon of war" and hearing it gives him PTSD.
#5. He is a supporter of "safe spaces" and "gun free" zones.
Gift idea: A lifetime NRA Membership.
#4. He drives a Prius.
#3. He has ever worn a stocking cap intended to represent part of the female anatomy.
#2. He's actually your stepfather, has never had children of his own, and prefers fruity drinks.
#1. He still thinks there was "Russian Collusion."
Even snowflake fathers deserve a happy father's day. Enjoy!

This product is made from vegetable tanned leather. The surface is finished with a conditioner and ready for use. If the product comes into contact with water, allow it to dry out naturally. Should a crack appear afterwards, you can apply a conditioner to moisturize the leather.
If the product feels dry after a period of time or if you have not used it for a long time, it is recommended to use a conditioner to re-feed the leather and keep it supple.
When you use the product on a regular basis, it will not be necessary to use a conditioner since the leather absorbs our natural body oils. This will cause the leather to shine over time and develop a beautiful patina.
Attention: It can take up to four weeks before your order is ready.

It's official. $130 million for Cristiano Ronaldo. Real Madrid is close to being Galacticos once more having added Kaka to the mix a week ago. What's next? Plenty of names and somehow a lot of money. This team could very well rival the Zidane-Becks-Ronaldo team of the early 2000s. Crazy! Now if only they could share some of the money with the world economic crisis, right? There's the socialist in me.
What's next for Man U.? Maybe Frank Ribery and/or Benzema. They are also, I hear, looking at Wigan's (and Ecuador's) Luis Antonio Valencia. Missing Ronnie will be a big blow to their offensive prowess but that's how club football is player around the world. They should be fun to watch next year, right?
Go ahead and book your tickets to the Champions League Final Real Madrid fans.


There is an ongoing debate whether we overprescribe and are a culture looking for pharmaceutical fixes. Critics point to drug epidemics in various age groups: ADHD and antipsychotic drugs to children, painkiller and sleeping pill abuse, and the polypharmacy of the elderly. Others, on the other hand, argue that our access to healthcare provide us with leading medicines that steadily improve health and wellbeing.
While both sides have valid points, the correct management and taking pharmaceuticals as prescribed is key to optimal outcomes. While some might struggle with adhering to one prescription drug, the management of more can be exhausting. Some drugs cannot be taken together, some needs to be taken with food, some are taken several times a day, and other become harmful due to another medical condition. However, not taking a drug as prescribed can cause serious side effects, and in some cases even be fatal.
MediKeep is a simple, yet smart and innovative, home pharmacy management app that solves this. By scanning the barcodes on the box of the medication using your smartphone, you can make an inventory and set quantity and dosage. The app will then remind you when to take medicine, vitamins or other supplements, as well as notify when the medications are about to expire or need a refill. The app not only track what you take and when, but keeps a diary where you are able to log side effects, which can be sent to your doctor or be stored on your phone.
While the app most likely miss the group with the biggest need for such a solution, the elderly, it has a huge potential and a growing market. The app builds on the growing trend of digital solutions that improve doctor patient communication and deliver a more efficient healthcare service. However, the app could implement new features similar to PillPack, where prescriptions are renewed and refills automatically sent to your home. They could also implement solutions to stop the growing threat of counterfeit drugs.
In short, the MediKeep app deliver a smart solution to a growing market. With a few additions to its features however, it has the potential to be an innovative solution to one of the major threats currently faced by the pharmaceutical industry.

100-year-old human skeleton found in family barn
LEFLORE COUNTY (KFSM) -- A LeFlore County family found a coffin with a real human skeleton inside of it in their barn near Panama on January 30th, deputies said.
Authorities were called to the property to examine the human remains, and the skeleton was sent to a medical examiner's office in Tulsa for identification.
Deputy Rebecca Hendrix with the LeFlore County Sheriff's Office said the skeleton is at least 100 years old, and she tracked down the original property owner, Pete Butler.
He told her that the skeleton was one of two he originally located in a run-down building that once belonged to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in Poteau, Okla. The lodge closed in the 1960s, and they are who had the skeletons originally.
Disclaimer: Some of these photos may be disturbing.
Hendrix said this is not unusual.
"All across the U.S., actually, when Odd Fellow Lodges have shut down, skeletons have been found in a lot of them."
Hendrix told 5NEWS that her great-grandfather was member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, which is a fraternal organization that focuses on charitable works. She said they were active in LeFlore County in the early 1900s.
She said members of the Odd Fellows use skeletons in their initiation ceremonies.
"The subjects were blindfolded and brought in and went through this ceremony. When the blindfold was taken off, they were face-to-face with a skeleton," she said. "The skeleton is to symbolize mortality. That it doesn't matter what color you are, what race you are, how many material possessions you have -- death is inevitable, and it's going to come no matter what you have."
Butler said he only knows where one of the skeletons is.
"Someone 15-20 years ago wanted to use that as a Halloween prank, so I let them have that casket and I can't remember who it was. But it had to be one of my friends, but I don't know who," Butler said.
He said he put the other skeleton in his barn, and forgot about it -- until the new owner of the property, Gwyn Priddy, asked him about it. Priddy's nephew found the bones and immediately told his aunt.
Fused with wires, the skeleton already had an autopsy performed on it, Hendrix said.
Once the skeleton is back in the possession of the LeFlore County Sheriff's Office, Hendrix told 5NEWS she wants to raise funds for a proper burial. She's also attempting to track down the second skeleton for the same reason.
Hendrix said she thought the skeleton was either a body donated for science, or it could be an actual member of the Independent Order of the Odd Fellows who donated his or her body to be used in ceremonies.
There are three existing Odd Fellows lodges in Oklahoma, according to Hendrix. They are in Muskogee, Perry and Edmond.
It is not illegal to keep a real human skeleton. In fact, Hendrix said, it is available for people to purchase a human skeleton of their own if they want.

Stamped concrete is one of the most popular choices for property owners who wish for more decorative concrete surfaces at a more affordable cost. it offers a wide selection of patterns and designs. Imprinted or textured concrete, as it is also known by, can be done on both indoor or outdoor spaces but is more popular for concrete pool decks, patios, and concrete driveways. It can also be used for commercial settings. Its decorative and functional features are ideal for enticing potential customers and acquiring good profit.
It is important for home and business owners to understand that stamped concrete is done on newly poured slabs, whereas stamped overlays are installed on existing ones as an enhancement or repair solution. They both use the stamping technique and decorative patterns. They are also both affordable alternatives to other paving options that involve expensive materials and procedures.
Stamped surfaces are undeniably appealing. It can be designed to look like running bricks, natural stone, and other high-end materials. Staining the design will make it look more realistic.
The textured surface enhances slip-resistance, making the surface safer to walk or drive on.
It can be done on indoor and outdoor surfaces, old or new, and both in residential and commercial locations.
Cleaning and maintaining stamped surfaces is simple and easy. Although it mimics the appearance of joints and gaps, these are just shallow grooves. There is no way weed can grow in between them.
If properly installed and sealed, stamped slabs can last a couple of years or more.
It is more affordable than most flooring and paving materials. Plus, it restores the existing slab, saving you money from slab removal and replacement.
Concrete Stamp Textures, Patterns and Designs for Pool Decks, Patios, Driveways & More!

"Give youth the tools and education to be work ready and have every opportunity to be employed."
"Grant youth services finances to initiate youth-led micro enterprises."
"Create youth employment networks and workshops that encourage local employers to connect and mentor young people in their communities."
– Young people from rural and regional Victoria.
We all want every young person to be on their way to a career that helps them to become independent and work in jobs they enjoy. Recently, we've seen some welcome moves in Victoria to improve careers advice to young people and offer free training in fields where job opportunities are growing.
Since 1980, the percentage of young Australians working in full-time jobs has halved. Entry-level jobs are vanishing. Early school leavers and young people with disability are at high risk of unemployment, but anyone can struggle. Nearly 60% of young Australians aged 25 hold a post-school qualification, but 50% of them still can't find more than 35 hours of work per week. One in five young workers get paid less than minimum wage, and only half get paid proper penalty rates. Only 31% of young adults believe they will have a secure, well-paid job in five years.
Building a career is especially hard for young people who face discrimination, or who don't have 'networks' of supportive adults to connect them with opportunities.
Victorian schools provide the best careers education to all students.
Fund full-time, dedicated careers educators for every secondary school, focusing especially on rural schools with limited staff numbers. These educators must have a strong knowledge of labour trends and build good relationships with students, employers, higher education and training providers, unions, community services and industry associations.
Support students with disability to prepare for meaningful careers. Ensure all careers activities include students with disability on an equal basis, and support schools to find accessible work experience placements for students with disability in fields which match the students' interests. Provide careers educators with professional development about transition options for students with disability, and support schools to implement transition plans for students that include life skills and address obstacles like discrimination.
Connect students with employers, mentors, 'taster' opportunities and role models in diverse careers. In particular, connect female students with women working in trades, STEM and emerging industries, connect students with disability with inclusive workplaces, and connect students from refugee and migrant backgrounds with professionals and other role models within and outside their communities.
Engage families in careers education, building their knowledge of employment pathways and how best to support their children. Focus on building the strengths and connections of families who face the greatest barriers, such as disadvantage, racism, or isolation.
Support students to explore pathways into high quality vocational education and training, focusing on areas where the majority of jobs growth over the next five years will occur, including health care and community services.
Embed workplace rights in careers education, so that students understand things like minimum wage, pay rates, enterprise agreements and workplace safety, as recommended by the Young Workers Centre.
Ensure careers education is informed by up-to-date research. For example, Foundation for Young Australians found that young people move faster into full-time work if they are supported to learn "enterprise skills", maintain good mental health, identify growth areas for employment, and find entry-level jobs in the same "cluster" as their desired career. Brotherhood of St Laurence found that young people do best when careers educators provide a clear "line of sight" to a job, support young people to develop generic job-ready skills, recognise young people as capable and resourceful, and support them to build their strengths, make decisions, and pursue their own goals.
Youth employment is a priority in state and regional planning.
Develop a state-wide youth employment plan, which engages young people and their communities in planning the future of employment, and employs youth workers to assist young people to find, maintain or create employment opportunities.
Make youth employment part of regional economic development plans. Support rural and regional communities to map local industries, job growth and shortages, assess how these issues link to school-to-work transitions, and resource solutions based on local expertise.
Insert an offence of 'wage theft' into the Crimes Act 1958 (Vic), and hold to account employers who deliberately and dishonestly withhold wages, superannuation or other entitlements.
All young people can connect to career opportunities in their community.
Invest in partnership brokerage and innovation to help young people transition into meaningful employment. The Local Learning and Employment Networks play a key role, bringing together employers, schools, training providers and community services to strengthen young people's outcomes.
Support more young people from vulnerable backgrounds to access higher education. For example, the "Raising Expectations" project (Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare, Federation University, La Trobe University) more than doubled the number of care leavers attending the participating universities.
Create more meaningful and accessible volunteering opportunities for young people who have traditionally engaged less in that space, such as young people with disability and young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds.
Build young people's skills, aspirations and connections to supportive adults through high quality opportunities in youth leadership, mentoring, volunteering, clubs, associations, sports and arts.
1. What 'big picture' changes does our community need, so that every young person can build a rewarding career?
2. What steps would the candidates take to strengthen career opportunities for young people with disability?
3. What steps would they take to connect young people with potential employers, career mentors, and role models from a range of professions? How would they make sure this includes young people at risk of disadvantage?

The National Portrait Gallery Rebrands for Spring Opening
Gucci Celebrates the Sundance Premiere of Bethann Hardison's 'Invisible Beauty'
Dakota Johnson, Taylour Paige, Tessa Thompson and more came out to celebrate "Invisible Beauty," about the life of Bethann Hardison.
January 22, 2023, 12:12pm
PARK CITY, Utah — On Saturday evening, as day three of the 2023 Sundance Film Festival was winding down, VIPs gathered on Main Street for an evening cocktail party hosted by Gucci. The occasion was to celebrate legendary model, agent and activist Bethann Hardison, who with Frédéric Tcheng codirected a documentary about her life, called "Invisible Beauty."
Guests including Dakota Johnson, Tessa Thompson, Taylour Paige, Danai Gurira, Jeremy O. Harris, Tan France, Aurora James, Thuso Mbedu, Questlove, Lily Gladstone, Gucci's Susan Chokachi and more packed into Firewood on Main Street in Park City, where coups of Champagne and ramekins of pasta were passed around as everyone tried to get their moment with Hardison. Dressed in her Sundance finest — an oversized red flannel shirt accessorized with a beaded collar — Hardison worked the room, embracing Harris and Johnson and posing for pictures with all. Tcheng, whose previous works include the fashion documentaries "Halston" and "Dior and I," beamed alongside his latest collaborator and subject.
The party marked Gucci's 15-year support of documentary film and their partnership with the Sundance Institute.
