Helen Mirren Joins Cast of Shazam! Fury of the Gods
BY Meghan Hale March 25, 2021March 25, 2021
Casting news is always exciting. Though it's even more exciting when the latest cast member in question is somebody iconic, and it doesn't get more iconic than this. Dame Helen Mirren has just joined the cast of Shazam: Fury of the Gods. While she may not be your first thought when it comes to imagining a villainess in a superhero film, we couldn't picture somebody more exciting for the part.
Helen Mirren Becomes Latest Cast Member in Shazam! Fury of the Gods
Helen Mirren has been acting for decades, accumulating a list of accolades longer than almost any other actress out there. She became an Oscar-winning actress in 2007 for her role in The Queen and has gone on to play various personalities. From theater roles to TV parts, there isn't an area of the industry that she hasn't touched. However, she has left one genre left to conquer, and that's the superhero film.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods is still far off, with a planned release date of June 2nd, 2023. While little of the plot is unknown, we have learned that the role that Helen Mirren has been cast for is the character of Hespera, one of Atlas' daughters. Atlas is the God where Shazam's stamina comes from. This will make her the lead villain of the superhero sequel.

The upcoming film will bring back the team behind the first film, which surpassed expectations at the box office and remained a critical success. This means that we'll see David F. Sandberg back in the director's chair, with Henry Gayden penning the script. Peter Safran will produce through The Safran Company.
We're pretty thrilled to hear the news that Helen Mirren has joined the cast of Shazam! Fury of the Gods. She has played the bad guy before, and we're so excited to see her crank it up a notch for a film as fun as this one.
Readers, what do you think about this casting news? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! We know that there was a Shazam 2 director poll last fall, so we're curious to see if this aligned with your expectations!

This is a Hanging. It is dated 1989 and we acquired it in 1996. Its medium is nylon fishing line and its technique is knotted netting. It is a part of the Textiles department.
Joanne Segal Brandford's knowledge of netting and basketry techniques was greatly enhanced by her work as a scholar and curator of ancient and ethnographic textiles. Inspired by traditional examples in museum collections, Brandford began experimenting with netted structures in the late 1960s. She was interested in treading the line between visible and invisible, between light and shadow. Some nets she displayed in the round as diaphanous sculptures suspended from one or several strings. Others she framed with multiple taut strings and affixed to the wall. These, she called 'drawings' because of the shadows they cast on the adjacent wall.
When Brandford created this piece in 1989, she had recently completed a contract as research historian for the Herbert F. Johnson Museum's traveling exhibition, Knots and Nets, which also included several examples of her artwork. The exhibition combined ancient and contemporary examples of knotted netting, reflecting Brandford's own practice, which merged research and art.
This object was featured in our Object of the Day series in a post titled Fiber and Air: A Net by Joanne Segal Brandford.

Modi silent on Muslim philanthropist's offer of medical supplies for India
Modi once called on South Asian countries to 'chalk out a strong strategy to fight the coronavirus,' but his plans have foundered on mistrust and hostility between Pakistan and India.

Priyadarshini Sen
NEW DELHI (RNS) — Only 30 miles from the northern Indian city of Amritsar, oxygen tanks that could help those caught up in India's second COVID-19 onslaught lie unused.
Across the Pakistan border, 44-year-old Sufi Muslim philanthropist Faisal Edhi is ready to move his fleet of 50 ambulances and medical supplies like oxygen to India, which is clocking half a million COVID-19 cases and more than 4,000 recorded deaths a day — the highest in the world.
But even as the virus is burning through India's cities, towns and villages, ravaging homes and livelihoods, there's little Edhi can do but hope. Requests made a month ago to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to allow entry into the country have been met with silence.
RELATED: In India, Hindus fast in Ramadan for growth and solidarity with Muslim friends
Edhi wrote to Modi April 23, promising medical and humanitarian aid to India if his volunteers are allowed to cross over the Pakistan-India border. Normally tightly controlled, border crossings have been all but closed since the second wave of coronavirus hit India this spring.
Last March, Modi had proposed that South Asian countries must "chalk out a strong strategy to fight the coronavirus," but the pandemic protocols have foundered on Pakistan-India mistrust and hostility.
"We are ready to extend our services to any critical region if the Indian prime minister shows us the green light," says Edhi, who runs more than 300 shelters for the destitute in Pakistan, along with a 100-bed hospital, clinics, women's shelters and a rehabilitation center for drug addicts.
Edhi also spearheads one of the world's largest volunteer ambulance networks — operating more than 2,000 ambulances — which he deploys in Pakistan during droughts, floods and epidemic outbreaks. Edhi has also been on the frontlines of COVID-19 relief work in his home country.
"Aid has poured into India from the U.S. and Europe, so why not us?" said Edhi. "We have vast experience in disaster management."
Faisal Edhi, chairman of the Edhi Foundation, is embraced at a home run by the organization in Karachi, Pakistan. According to the Edhi Foundation's website, they have created 18 homes across Pakistan to care for roughly 8,500 people. Photo courtesy of the Edhi Foundation
The Edhi Foundation was started by Edhi's Indian-born father, Abdul Sattar, in 1951 but gained prominence in Pakistan's Asian flu epidemic of 1957, when Sattar, fondly remembered as an "angel of mercy," set up 14 camps during the outbreak to provide free health care to the afflicted. He later expanded his relief operations in the United States, Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, Canada and Japan.
Sattar went out of his way to provide financial aid to the victims of Hurricane Katrina and survivors of famine in Somalia and Ethiopia. A Sufi Muslim, Sattar made religious tolerance a cornerstone of his work, extending his benevolence beyond the boundaries of caste, religion and gender.
"My father was attacked by clerics and Pakistan's militant far-right for his work," says Edhi. "We carried his vision into our COVID relief work in Pakistan."
When Sattar died in 2013, Pakistan held a period of national mourning, and he was given a state funeral — the first civilian in Pakistan's history to receive the honor. Then-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif called him "the real manifestation of love for those who were socially vulnerable, impoverished, helpless and poor."
When coronavirus infections spiked in Pakistan last year, Edhi's volunteers went from village to village to teach people about safety protocols, ferried the infected to hospitals in foundation ambulances and performed the last rites of the dead when priests had bolted their doors.
"Faisal Bhai trained our volunteers at the Hindu cremation ground," said Ram Nath Mishra, the chief priest of a Hindu temple in Karachi, using an endearment for Edhi. Mishra's temple became a distribution center for COVID relief for the needy, and Edhi participated in Hindu rituals and generally bolstered community across the two faiths.
"He taught us how to stay safe while performing Hindu rituals like bathing the dead, placing the body on the funeral pyre and collecting the ashes," said Mishra.
While the Indian government has welcomed medical aid from 14 countries in the form of oxygen concentrators, ventilators, rapid testing kits and life-saving drugs, it has chosen to overlook vital support from its neighbor.

Jatin Desai, a member of the civil society group Pakistan India People's Forum for Peace and Democracy, says the "contagion recognizes no borders or nationalities," so India should accept the "groundswell of support from Pakistan" and let go of "the historical baggage of antagonism."
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan recently expressed solidarity with India to "fight this global challenge confronting humanity." Social media is also full of messages urging unity between India and Pakistan.
"As specialists in pre-hospital care, not only can they (The Edhi Foundation) save lives but also work with grassroots groups in India to spread religious tolerance and end animosity," says Indian peace activist Tapan Bose.
Like his father, Edhi puts "conscious devotion" at the core of his work, eschewing religion that creates boundaries between people.
"My father was a very simple man," he said. "He owned only two (sets) of clothes, never built a house and maintained an ascetic lifestyle so he could commit himself to humanity." The one possession he valued was ambulances, Edhi pointed out, and he touched the lives of thousands of lower-class citizens, Hindus, non-Muslims and communities on the margins.
"Edhi's father was a spiritually gifted man," says a Muslim cleric based in Karachi. "For him, social welfare wasn't about grabbing eyeballs but remaining focused on human suffering."

Opposition leaders in India have petitioned the Modi-government for an "oxygen corridor" between India and Pakistan. A Congress leader from the state of Punjab recently wrote to Modi saying oxygen reserves in the country have dried up and that India should accept help to "save precious lives."
"If the Indian government allows this cross-border initiative," says Edhi, "not only can we arrest this death curve, but also show everyone that humanism trumps nationalism in crisis."

Q: Updating or inserting new row in child entity I have two entities, one parent and multiple children entities. The child table has the foreign key of the parent. My problem comes with updating or inserting a new row.
I receive a list of beans with information from the frontend and based on a value in each bean I need to either update a row if a child with that value exists in the child table (which has multiple columns needed to be updated) or insert a new row if one doesn't exist.
Besides getting the list of children from the parent entity and doing a double-for loop style matching, is there a better approach? Here I'll be matching the each child entity value with each other bean from the list and if there's a match it's an update otherwise an insert.
Hibernate in this case does the right thing in the sense that it keep adding rows because there is no id. Thanks!

A: You could extract a sublist containing all beans relative to children entities and then fetch and update them.
Then extract a sublist for all beans relative to children that needs to be created and insert new entities.
This could be a more functional approach, more feasible (and easy) if your env is java 8.

I'll likely stay tuned for #4, but I have to say #3 was very uneven. I found myself wishing I was a speed reader so I could fast-forward to the good parts. Don't get me wrong, there were some amazing scenes, and I am still engaged by the characters and their struggles. But I just hope the author finds a good editor to help him tighten things up for the next installment.
So far this series just keeps getting better so I'm on to book 4.
It was good but not as good or compelling as the first 2 books in the series.
I'll give it 3.5 stars. I was not satisfied with how it ended. Will I read on, yesbut I am going on and move away for a while. I love the story, love the protagonist and love that the author is getting other POV characters BUT, I was let down by the arc of this book was not a complete plot arc. I was left holding the baghaving to buy the next book to satisfy my enjoyment of this book. Not happy about that.
OK, this whole book was kind of pointless. Nothing developed or even remotely happened until the last 3 chapters! The rest of the book was day-today boring events that could have been summed up in about 10 pages. It really frustrates me because I very much enjoyed the first book, but the series is going down hill fast. Also, is this going to be never ending?- because I would appreciate some closure.
I really like this zombie series. Most of it feels more realistic (if there was a zombie apocalypse of course). The ending was a big cliff hanger and I did not see it coming. If you like zombie novels these are worth the read.
Frustrating writing at times. Some of the MC's actions seem out of character for someone with this training. (3 star story - 4 star narration = 3.5 star overall) Listened to audiobook with hubby.
Love this series, never thought I would be one to read books with Zombies, but these are great!
Yep. This series keeps getting better.
Really ready to read what happens next!
I like that this series is focused on the infected and their evolution as it pertains to Captain Harden and his people. This issue also throws in a new major player, hopefully, and more twists and turns that will change the Camp Ryder hub for the worse! Secrets, lies and the infected but who's more dangerous man or infected?
Enjoying the series so far - and it is definitely taking a "long view" on plot development to span multiple installments in the series.

Today's blog is from Green Mountain Timber Frames founder, Dan McKeen.
It was 35 years ago that I first set out to build my twin daughters a playhouse. I was a young timber framer and a proud father of two, four-year-old girls who loved the outdoors, exploration and pretend just as much as I do. Eager to create a special home where they could hide and climb and create magical worlds together, I built this tiny little treehouse for them back in 1982.
Rachel and Amanda in their very own home.
Rachel and Amanda spent hours in the wooden treehouse, just as I had hoped. But by and by as the years passed, the playhouse went out of use and was in need of some more young love.
It was time for the playhouse to come home!
And come home, it has! I embarked upon this latest "barn" restoration with the energy and enthusiasm of a six-year-old! I took the playhouse home and gave it a full makeover so it can house games and delight for dozens of years to come.
In anticipation of the homecoming, I first cleared out just the right spot for the playhouse. My friend Ed pruned some Cherry tree branches and a sturdy platform deck was created for the little house. (How fitting that the wood we used for the platform was excess wood from the milkhouse Ira barn project we did in 2013.) It is all old growth Spruce, treated with linseed oil, so it will last for a good many years.
Next, I headed over to my friend's place to transport the playhouse back to my yard. In the image below, you can see the little barn house arriving to the Green Mountain Timber Frames shop for restoration.
There were boards and framing to restore, hinges to fix, countless corners to wash and windows to replace. I also had my dear friend Nance help give the playhouse a faux paint touch up to make the blue siding look like vintage barn board.
Here's the refurbished playhouse being set in its new home.
After placing the playhouse on the platform, I needed to give my grandkids (and every kid around) an easy way to get inside. We had recently removed a pine tree that was threatening our house. We used the stump as a base for the staircase, carving the lowest step right into its hearty wood. The stump will provide good stability to help keep the stairs from shifting in Vermont's inevitable freezes and heaves.
Once the playhouse was set in place, it was time for some fun! I outfitted the little building with a kitchenette, a mailbox and plenty of soccer balls. Then, Ed added in a new rope swing and topped it all off with a 90 yard zip line.
The angels were with us throughout this project. I asked a former client, now friend, to coach me on zip-lining. He let me know that he had 275 feet of cable in his garage, waiting for just the right use. In the end we needed 273′. Serendipitous indeed!
Christening the New (Old) Playhouse!
This past Sunday, the new playhouse was inaugurated in style! No less than 12 kids – my grandchildren among them – came by to test out the house and the swings.
The verdict? I have a feeling my yard will be filled with many little feet and bigger voices – and I couldn't be happier. There are dragons under the floorboards and pirates hiding in the bushes and so much more adventure awaits!
Enjoy this slideshow of the playhouse today!
Want your own barn home? Let us know!


Sorry it's been so long since I've posted but I've been quite busy lately! The web site has been updated as it now how a shopping cart system to make it easier to buy things and I've put a few things on sale to make way for new designs!
Remember in my last post I spoke about the PMC stuff well let me tell you its more blumming tricky than it looks I think I may need more practice before I post pictures!
Happy New Year back at you, Janine!
PMC is fiddly, but fun. Have you got any moulding compound? That's mighty fun stuff.

Qatar Aiways confirms orders for Bombardier Jets
Tuesday 20 July 2010 - Farnborough Air Show, UNITED KINGDOM – Qatar Airways has announced it has purchased two Bombardier Global 5000 aircraft in a deal worth US$90 million as part of plans to further develop its 12-month old corporate jet subsidiary, Qatar Executive.
The new business jets are scheduled for delivery in October 2010 and August 2011 – and will join three Bombardier Challenger jets currently operating within the Doha-based Qatar Executive fleet.
Announcing the order on the opening day of the Farnborough Air Show today, Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker also hinted at possible further acquisitions as the airline continues to take advantage of the Middle East region's growing corporate jet market.
"We launched Qatar Executive last year because we had identified a huge gap in the market and are now well on the way to filling that void," said Al Baker, adding that the corporate jet division formed part of the airline's robust growth strategy worldwide.
"The additional capacity and non-stop range capabilities of the Bombardier Global 5000 aircraft allows us to offer increased flexibility to our customers.
"Despite the current global economic climate, there remains a strong need for corporations to conduct face to face business meetings in the shortest possible time and with a hassle-free travel experience."
With a flying range of up to 5,200 nautical miles, the 13-seater Bombardier Global 5000 aircraft will have the longest range of any of the jets currently in the Qatar Executive fleet. These aircraft can fly to destinations as far as Hong Kong non-stop from Doha. **
The Qatar Executive fleet currently comprises two Bombardier Challenger 605 jets featuring 11 seats, and the eight-seater Challenger 300 aircraft.
The new aircraft will feature high class specification interiors offering passengers the comforts of luxury travel – working, relaxing and sleeping inflight.
Added Al Baker: "At Qatar Airways, we are responding to the sustained regional demand to have larger private jets available to our corporate customers. Our passengers are paying a premium to fly privately and at their leisure, so this is a market segment that we are keen to develop since entering this sector 12 months ago.
"While low cost carriers in the region are pushing budget travel, we are doing the opposite and targeting high end travellers. Qatar Executive has been operating extremely successfully since we officially launched Qatar Executive at the Paris Air Show last summer."
The two additional Bombardier aircraft will be based in Doha and can operate non-stop to anywhere in Europe, as well as most places in Asia and Africa. All Qatar Executive jets can reach North America with a fuel stop in Europe.
The corporate jet market in the Middle East has grown at an average of 13 per cent a year since 2000. Nine years ago, there were 200 corporate jets based in the Middle East, more than doubling in size to 450 in 2008 with estimates of further growth over the next few years.
The Middle East corporate jet market alone is estimated to be worth between US$500 million and US$700 million a year.
Individual wealth within the Gulf region is expected to grow by over 50 per cent during the 2008 – 2012 period, up from US$2.1 trillion to around US$3.8 trillion, according to statistics provided by international management consultancy firm Oliver Wyman.
Ranked Five Star for service and excellence, Qatar Airways was recently voted third best airline in the world following the annual Skytrax survey of 18 million international passengers. In the survey, the airline was also voted as having the Best Business Class Catering in the world, as well as being honoured as the Best Airline in The Middle East for the fifth consecutive year.
Qatar Airways also became the first airline to receive the Staff Service Excellence Award for the Middle East in the Skytrax survey. The new award replaces the Best Cabin Staff in the Middle East category, which Qatar Airways has won for the past seven years. The expanded category now includes airline staff at all passenger touch points, including onboard, reservations, check-in and airport personnel.
By 2013, Qatar Airways plans to serve 120 key business and leisure destinations worldwide with a modern fleet of 120 aircraft. Today, the airline's fleet stands at 84 aircraft, flying to 92 destinations across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, and North & South America.

With our Boston Go Pass we got tickets for the trolley tour of the city. We redeemed our tickets yesterday so that we can use them today (the trolley tickets were good for two days but the Boston Go Pass was only good for three days, but Saturday would be our fourth day). We started out a bit later than the other days, and after a Bruegger's bagel, we went to go catch the trolley. They were stopped at a light in between two stops but the driver/guide let us on anyway. We rode the tour all the way around the city and the guide explained the various sites.
The guide was really good, he was a true Bostonian (his accent was very heavy, I think it would have been hard to understand him if you were a non-native English speaker). He was an iron worker during the week and did tours on the weekend. He also builds sets for movies filmed in Boston. He had a minuscule part in some movie where he played a warehouse owner.
He was a really good guide and very engaging. He asked us where we were from and when we told him "Denver" he said "if I'd know that, I'd'a run ya over with the trolley let alone let ya on!" joking of course about the fact that Boston is the home of the New England Patriots, losers of the 2016 AFC Championship.
The Bunker Hill Monument. The Battle of Bunker Hill was actually fought on Breeds Hill, but for some reason, it's called the Battle of Bunker Hill after a hill right next to Breeds Hill. Although we lost the Battle of Bunker Hill, it was a moral victory for the patriots. The colonists fortified Breeds Hill and the British attempted to take the hill. The colonists, with limited ammunition, repelled the first two attacks. On the third charge, the patriots ran out of ammunition and withdrew from the hill therefore loosing the battle in purely military terms. The reason it was a moral victory was that the colonists, a ragtag group of rebels, lost about 400 men whereas the British lost something like 1400.
The park that Make Way for Ducklings is based on is in Boston. We went past that park and saw the pond that was the duck's home.
We went past the USS Constitution, nicknamed Old Ironsides. This boat saw action in the War of 1812 and was dubbed Old Ironsides by the British because their cannonballs bounced off the side of the boat.
After riding the bus all the way around the circuit, we got of and went back to the hotel to get ready to check out and go to the boat.
To get to the boat, we took the subway and then transferred to a bus. It was pretty easy to get to the terminal. After going through all the normal security, we got on board and put our stuff down in our room.
While we waited for the fire drill, I swam a little bit in the pool (the water is really warm). After the drill, I explored the ship for a while and then went back to our cabin to get ready for dinner.
We had dinner with a couple and two women travelling together. The two women had been friends since high school. One of the ladies dominated the conversation (she had something to say about everything). I guess that's pretty impressive since she knew of someone who did whatever the conversation was about at the moment.
After dinner I went up to the ping-pong table and bounced the ball some hoping someone would come over to play. A guy named Mike showed up and we played a couple games. He won unfortunately. So sad. They were pretty close games though. I then talked with his dad and sister (she graduated as well). Anyway, I decided to try and catch up on my blog so I don't have to deal with it much tomorrow.
We are at sea all day tomorrow, so there probably won't be as much to write about.

What are some Deadlines Associated with the VA Disability Process?
If I pursue a claim for Veterans Benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs, are there deadlines for documents to be submitted and appeals to be filed? This is a very good question because there are several different deadlines the Dept. of VA implements depending on what information or appeals are necessary.
· VA Document Requesting Evidence or Completion of Forms – the VA usually allows 30 to 60 days for the claimant to respond. The specific number of days will be listed in the letter.
· Rating Decision or Decision Review Officer Decision – the claimant has One (1) Year from the date of the decision to file a Notice of Disagreement or NOD.
· A Proposal to Sever or Decrease Current VA Benefits – the claimant has Thirty (30) Days from the date of the decision to request a hearing on the proposal. If the hearing request is filed within 30 days, the Dept. of VA will not implement the proposal prior to the hearing being held.
· Statement of the Case or SOC – the claimant has Sixty (60) Days from the date of the SOC to file a VA9 (Request for Hearing).
· Supplemental Statement of the Case or SSOC – the claimant has Thirty (30) Days from the date of the SSOC to file an appeal.
· Board of Veterans Affairs or BVA Decision – the claimant has One Hundred Twenty (120) Days from the date of the BVA decision to file an appeal.
Keeping tack of these deadlines can be very difficult and confusing. This is just one of the reasons so many Veterans turn to the legal team at Jan Dils Attorneys at Law. We have a full system in place to make sure deadlines are met. Call us today for a free phone consultation: 1-877-526-3457. Or, tell us about your claim now.

The Big Issue, which offers homeless and vulnerably housed people across the UK a means by which to earn a legitimate income, recently had to take the decision to safeguard its network of vendors by asking that they stop selling on streets across the whole of the UK with immediate effect on March 20 for the foreseeable future.
The listings in Sainsbury's and McColl's are the latest in a series of innovations by The Big Issue Group to provide readers with alternative ways to purchase the magazine and help support vendors up and down the country in the face of adversity.
Customers will be able to purchase copies of The Big Issue in 164 Sainsbury's stores, rolling out to 315 over the coming weeks, and 1,400 McColl's stores for the price of £3 with 50 per cent of net proceeds going into a vendor support fund.
Lord John Bird, Founder of The Big Issue, said: "We have helped well over 100,000 people over the past 29 years, and on average we put £5m into the pockets of our vendors every single year. Now more than ever, we need your support.
"Our income comes from street sales and without our vendors on the streets we cannot support those people that really need us now and in the future."
"We are thrilled that the good folk at Sainsbury's and McColl's have partnered with us so that readers new and old can continue to buy The Big Issue during these turbulent times.
"As usual, we go half and half with our vendors. You can also buy a magazine online or subscribe for three months whilst your vendor isn't on the street."
Paul Mills-Hicks, Commercial Director at Sainsbury's said: "We are proud to be supporting a cause as important as The Big Issue Group, which exists to offer homeless people, or individuals at risk of becoming homeless the opportunity to earn an income.
"Coronavirus has affected everyone in the UK, and it's important that we show our support for each other in these increasingly challenging times.
"We hope that by providing a means for our customers to purchase a copy of The Big Issue, we can encourage people to continue to buy the magazine, which so many vulnerable people rely on."
Jonathan Miller, Chief Executive, McColl's, said: "We are delighted to be supporting The Big Issue at this important time. We urge our customers to lend their help by buying copies of the magazine available at our stores to help the organisation's street vendors who will be struggling to make a living as people stay at home amid the coronavirus outbreak."
The Big Issue was founded 29 years ago and is a social enterprise which exists to dismantle poverty by creating opportunities, through self-help, social trading and business solutions.
Vendors come from a variety of backgrounds and face a range of issues, but all are experiencing the effects of poverty. Since its launch in 1991, over 200 million copies of The Big Issue magazine have been sold by over 100,000 vulnerable people.

Home / Shotgun
SHOTGUNS have a long sporting history that continues to the present day with SSAA Queensland's various shotgun competitions.
We shoot five shotgun disciplines, all clay target related – Sporting Clays, Five-stand, Tower, Trap, and American Skeet.
Shooting clay targets, also known as clay pigeons, originated the UK in the early 1900s as a way for English aristocrats to practice their game hunting skills. The targets replicate the flight of game birds such as duck, pheasant, quail and grouse.
Each competitior in the Sporting Clays discipline, also known as Walk-Through or Field And Game to avoid confusion with a similarly-named event, shoots at a course of 25 targets, launched from a device known as a "trap" by a referee. The course layout of this discipline is often situated in tree surroundings with the clay targets thrown out to distances of 40m at various angles simulating game encountered in the field such as running rabbits and springing teals.
Five-stand is similar to Sporting Clays; however, the shooter competes in a shooting frame that limits the movement or swing of the shotgun. The same traps and target as in Sporting Clays are presented to shooters in this event, and club competition continues to grow in popularity – particularly at ranges with space limitations.
Tower is a discipline requiring a high platform to locate the automatic trap; the shooting stand comprises five concrete pads placed in front of the tower frame and shooters face away from the tower as part of the course.
Trap Shooting uses one automatic trap concealed in a bunker. Capable of operating at various angles and can throw targets in an arc to the left and right of the centre line. The shooters shoot off pads that are either level with the top of the bunker or one metre below the bunker.
American Skeet is set over eight shooting stands positioned in a semi-circle between two automatic traps facing each other. One trap is located about three metres above the ground an the other is positioned at ground level. As the shooter moves from stand to stand, the angle of the target flight varies.
The most commonly used shotgun for clay target events in Queensland is an Under and Over (UxO) double-barrelled shotgun, so known because the two barrels are positioned one above the other. This configuration allows for both barrels to share the same sighting plane, making for easier target acquisition and more accurate shooting.
Side-by-Side (SxS) shotguns are also often seen. As their name suggests, this type of shotgun has its barrels located next to each other, which creates a lower profile but can make sighting a little more difficult owing to the parallel barrels.
Single-shot and lever-action shotguns are also sometimes used too, but can pose a disadvantage as many events require a rapid second follow-up shot, often within a second of firing the first.
Shooters with shoulder or other appropriate physical issues may be able to use a semi-automatic shotgun for some clay target events, supporting documentation must be provided with application to use one in an event – in addition to the Category C licence required to own a semi-automatic shotgun in the first place.
While there are a number of very expensive shotguns used for clay shooting, it's not necessary to spend a lot of money on a high-end gunl; World Championships have been won with the cheapest shotgun available for clay shooters.
The important thing is gun fit; the stock, balance and positioning are just as important as the action and barrel for the competitive clay target shooter.
A copy of the rulebooks are available here and for more information, contact discipline chair Michael Norris on 0412 813 302 or email shotgun@ssaaqld.org.au

On Heels of Oscar-Nominated Song, Chrissy Metz Signs With Universal Nashville

Universal Music Group Nashville knows a thing or two about timing: The country label group waited just a few hours after the Chrissy Metz-sung "I'm Standing With You" was nominated for an Oscar to announce that they'd signed the "This Is Us" star to a record deal.
Metz's full-length country debut album is planned for a 2020 release, label reps said.
"I'm Standing With You" was written by perennial Academy favorite Diane Warren and appeared in the faith-based film "Breakthrough," in which Metz also starred. The actress had her coming out as a country singer at last April's Academy of Country Music Awards, where she sang Warren's song joined by a group of women that Universal Nashville describes as "now label mates" (Carrie Underwood, Lauren Alaina, Mickey Guyton and Maddie & Tae).
"Chrissy Metz is simply tapped into America's emotional conscience," said Cindy Mabe, UMG Nashville's president, in a statement. "Music was her first love and no matter if she's singing, acting, writing or just being, she's always real, powerful and fully connected with her audience."
Said Metz, "To say I am excited to fulfill a lifelong dream is an understatement. Music has always been my first love and to be working alongside Cindy and the incomparable team at UMG is truly a gift."
Metz has already achieved chart success as an author, with a book that shares the title of her hit TV series having topped the New York Times bestseller list. She's been nominated for Emmys and Golden Globes and has shared the SAG award for best ensemble with the "This Is Us" cast for the last two years running.
"I love every genre of music," Metz has said in the past. She attributed her success to busting out in song at an open model/talent search in her hometown, Gainesville, Florida. "I sang Christina Aguilera's 'Beautiful' — Lord knows why I chose that big ol' thing," she said. On "This Is Us," Metz's character, Kate Pearson, made a big musical impression as season 2 got underway by singing the Sinead O'Connor/Price song "Nothing Compares 2U" at an audition.

Why do I feel bad when someone does something nice for me, specially if they buy me gifts?

When someone buys me a gift, it almost feels like an obligation has been created without my permission. I'm obligated to like it, to appreciate it, and to use it, so it feels like a gift with strings attached. It can make me feel powerless because someone is almost forcing me to reciprocate their gift with an emotional response that I didn't genuinely want to give them.
March 21st, 2016 3:36am
Maybe subconsciously you believe that you do not deserve it. This could be due to many reasons example Childhood trauma and etc. You will need to open your heart to realize that you deserve all the good treatments and gifts given to you. And appreciate that people appreciates u.
October 12th, 2016 9:46am
That is because some part of you thinks you do not deserve that. Not the gift, but rather the affection behind it, the appreciation behind it. You feel like you've come up short in that area. You've not given them enough love, showed them enough affection. This feeling of "I haven't done enough for them" - is why you feel bad. But it could be just a perception or assumption of yours. You just feel like you haven't done enough for them, yet they are showering you with affection and love. :)
September 17th, 2016 6:26am
It's an issue of self esteem and self worth. The more you love yourself, the more you can genuinely understand why others would love and value you enough to give you gifts.
Nekas20
Probably because you are used to be the one doing that for people and you don't want them to do that for you. We gotta learn to give but to also receive, remember that :)
LazySloth

It's because you don't feel like you're good enough or that you don't deserve it, you underestimate your importance to other people.
Compassion746
April 5th, 2017 11:26pm
I think that you feel bad when someone buys you something, because you don't want to feel like you're using them, or them thinking you as selfish. There's nothing wrong with it, but don't let it stop you from people doing random acts of kindness towards you.
March 22nd, 2016 7:15am
Hi5! I seriously feel the same way when someone buy me gift. I don't know maybe because we can afford it, and it is kind of offensive when people buy it for us. Or it can be that we just feel like that someone must have want something back from us.
When you are not able to accept love and appreciation from others it means you were hurt badly at some point in your life; see life as it comes, it is unpredictable. you will have good and bad times. but this is life. it is beautiful, its a blessing. if u had any bad experience with one person it doesnt mean everyone will do the same so just try to accept love and appreciation. you deserve it.

I think this is something we've all gone through before! I know it feels "wrong" but it really shouldn't - sometimes receiving a gift from someone gives us the innate feeling of obligation, as though we have to return the gift or the favour or else we're somehow in the person's "debt". This is of course unpleasant but the thing to do usually is ignore it. You realise that when you're on the giving end, you don't expect the person to return the gift, immediately at least. We shouldn't therefore worry about it either!
Vheax
Part of it is probably because we feel like a burden once someone does something for us, even though we do not ask for it because we know that at some point in our lives we have thought about other people getting in the way of our free time just because we have to do something for them. With that, we get into the mindset of feeling bad when someone does something nice even though they do these nice things from the heart.
MaeveTheBrave
This could be a sign of feeling guilt. Regardless of whether the cause is justified or not, it can be hard or prevent to stop the feeling. You should try to locate a reason or cause for why you feel bad when nice things happen to you, and if you can't find one, then your feeling guilt is probably unwarranted. It sounds like in this case, feeling bad is unnecessary. The first step to dealing with feelings of guilt is observing and understanding them. Understand that in this situation, you did nothing wrong and you have no reason to feel bad :)
Rakune
April 1st, 2017 11:48pm
Generally, people feel this way because they believe that they are burdens to others and don't deserve to get gifts or have nice things done for them. From my experience, it's because I lacked self-compassion and felt as if I didn't deserve any of the good things given to me. However, that's not true. Everyone deserves to be loved, and be treated with kindness. You are not a burden.
PanicAtTheDiscoQueen
You may feel a mental 'requirement' to recompensate, but not be able to and feel guilty because of it.
November 11th, 2016 5:18pm
You feel bad because since a young age you were taught to be modest, that you do not deserve this and that you aren't the center of the world. But you do deserve these gifts, the people giving them to you know you do, so accept them with a smile and a thank you.
You may feel that you do not deserve a gift or that a person is trying to avoid being vulnerable with you and uses gifts to compensate for things that money can't buy. The last reason you feel bad might be that you feel people buy you gifts to lord over you.
VandaQ
November 25th, 2016 10:44am
The 'bad' feeling, in my experience, is something that can be explained in multiple ways. I myself tried to explain the guilt followed by a nice gesture or a gift from someone else and it is not easy. I came up with a few possibilities. A. Not being used on receiving; perhaps you are the person that people go to for support, advice, you are the one giving all the time. Being on the receiving end is a new, uncomfortable situation. B. Feeling like your independence is jeopardized by the person doing something nice for you or helping you out. Sometimes reaching for help can make us feel like we are weak; if the said help is provided to us without us asking for it, it might make us feel like the person that helps us/does something nice for us undermines our strength/independence. C. Thinking you do not deserve their kindness/money - which is, most likely, not true. In any case, if you do feel uncomfortable receiving attention/help/gifts from the people around you, please make sure they are aware of this. Furthermore, try to think of things that could actually constitute help/gifts, without being clearly it (asking a friend to go for a walk instead of them trying to take you out for a fancy meal, letting a friend pay for the tip, instead of awkwardly accepting them to cover the whole bill etc.)
February 10th, 2015 3:03am
Feeling like you don't deserve things? That might be an indicator of low self esteem, that you are not worthy of the gift they give you. Try to believe.
Perhaps it's just the feeling that you 'don't deserve it' (but I'm sure you do, otherwise they wouldn't have sent you a gift in the first place!) I get this feeling a lot, and i need a lot of reassurance about it. But hey, you get a gift for being awesome, keep it up, bud :)

December 24th, 2016 5:39pm
It is okay to not be used to accepting gifts. Some people see it as a form of debt or favour since they didn't earn it. Important thing to understand is that the other person is doing it out of thankfulness and not to make you seem any less of a person.
cloudystarlight
Perhaps you feel like you don't deserve being treated kindly, don't deserve gestures of love and friendship. That's wholly wrong, you are a valuable individual and deserve admiration and respect. At times you might feel bad about yourself and question why anyone would even like you or want to be your friend, but it's important to remember that you often, your self-perception is warped and there are many good things about you, you might not see. Start accepting yourself and accept the love others give you.
HarleyQuiinn666
You are letting yourself believe, for some reason, that you're not worthy of other people's attention or praise. You should save a minute to reflect about the good qualities you have and realize you are important and be thankful when you receive a gift or a compliment, after all you deserve this and so much more. Be aware of the good you do for others and for yourself, learn to love yourself at any cost. Try not to think about others actions as mandatory acts, people often do go things to you because they care, and this is a really important thing. I hope this helps.

A natural human desire is to not want to be a burden. Being independent makes us feel in control of our lives, and makes us feel confident that we do not have to rely on anyone else. Often, when someone gives you a gift or does you a favor that they didn't have to, it can feel like you are taking advantage of them, or you're putting them out. Sometimes, there is a feeling of indebtedness to that person, because you feel guilty for taking something from them. It's important to remember that most of the time, people are not doing nice things for you with the expectation of getting something in return, or because they are obligated to--they are doing it because they care about you and want you to be happy.
strawberryPudding82

You are probably more used to giving than receiving and you are most definitely not alone. Learn to just say 'thank-you' and accept it. When you don't accept something that someone is trying to give you, sometimes they feel offended and sometimes you are denying them a blessing.
godwya
November 9th, 2017 5:56pm
Because it creates an imbalance of power. I don't feel bad per say, I just don't want to end up feeling indebted to certain people.
June 23rd, 2015 11:10pm
Some people feel bad when others do nice things for them because they don't feel worthy. Some people feel like they are undeserving of kindness. You deserve good things to happen to you, so next time someone says something nice to you or buys you something, say thanks and smile because you know you deserve it.
alchemy191
Specially then when someone sacrifice for gifting me. I feel bad that they avoided something just to do some nice to me.
While I don't know for certain, from personal experience, it could be possibly because you devalue yourself as a person. You may not feel deserving of the gift.
rio71
Perhaps you may feel undeserving of kindness, or that you're not good enough; while the truth is that we can have people or community in our lives that appreciate us for who we are and ultimately do want to see us do well.
avamadueno22
January 25th, 2017 3:17pm
That's normal to feel that way. I myself feel that way when my friends come to pick me up, or when they pay for my meals. I know how you feel. Those things are normal and I wouldn't let yourself get too bad feeling from it. If anything, it pushes you to do the same thing for them later down the road. Offer to pay for something to give back for their nice gesture.

Social Distance
Social distance is a sociological concept that I will define as describing the differences between people that arises out of them having different ways of life resulting from their differing social classes. As a metaphor, it provides a sense of how social separation is like geographical separation, and that sometimes applies to sociological social distance, as when the poor live in the hills while the rich live in the flats, as occurs in Rio de Janeiro, or visa versa, where the rich live in the hills while the less affluent live on the flats, as occurs in Berkeley, California. Mostly, though, social isolation is a matter of people feeling comfortable or uncomfortable with one another (which comes close to the way Bogardus defines the concept) because of what they give off to one another about the way they lead their lives, as when people use more high faulting language than is part of common discourse in the community, or when people carry expensive accessories, real Gucci bags rather than knockoffs. Some people can tell the difference while others are just baffled. People who follow prize fights are likely not the swells who dressed up to go to championship fights, while it is noticeable that baseball is a sport that appeals across class barriers. Social distance is, I would say, more significant and subtle than the bi-polar or multi-polar social divisions, like gender and race, that have been the focus of attention for the past few generations, and which are noteworthy because they are largely overt, people classified clearly as of one or another kind, white or black or brown, or male and female, with a great deal of attention paid to those who fall in the middle, quadroons in an earlier time, transgender people nowadays. People fight for their classifications within and fight against those groups external to them in those dimensions of social life, some even holding out the hope of a time which is post-racial and, maybe, sometime way off in the future, post-gender, in that people will be polymorphous in choosing sex partners. Social distance is not like that because people may not be aware of where they belong or the extent to which they belong to one social class or another and experience their membership within their social class as not anything noteworthy but only as the way they tend to be, the path of least resistance for habits, beliefs, accoutrements, language, and so forth. To borrow Erving Goffman's term, people "give off" their social class, emit it, through their behaviors, rather than treat social class as a creed, even if ideologists of class may want people to become more self-conscious of their class and act in the interests of their class, just as some, and only some, Black men and women of the Thirties were known as "race people" because of their self-conscious adoption of race as the explanation of the social condition of Black people. Much more has to be said about social distance to restore it to its importance for the explanation of social life.

Exploring Singapore
Living in Singapore as a Student
You may already know that Singapore is a fast-paced, cosmopolitan city-state, but did you know that Singapore was home to over 65,000 international students in 2018? (source) Students from around the world are drawn to this exciting, yet safe and comfortable, city that is a true student paradise.
Why do students like Singapore so much? Probably because it's so vibrant and culturally diverse, and there are countless things to see and do. When you are not busy studying, you will have many opportunities to expand your horizons by trying new sports and foods, or by learning about the history, religions, and traditions of Singapore and its neighboring countries.
Living on a student budget in Singapore is definitely possible. You just have to make the most of the city's many free and or low-cost attractions such as the parks and trails, outdoor sports, hawker centers and markets, all of which you can get to using the city's excellent public transportation system.
International Tourists Yearly
Michelin-Starred Restaurants
Gardens & Natural Reserves
Singapore's past is extremely well-preserved and highly visible throughout the city, so you can easily get an overview of the multi-cultural, colonial and wartime past of the country and the region. There are monuments, museums and memorials, and you can even take a trip through time by following a heritage trail.

There are several world-famous dance clubs, such as the Attica and Zouk, both rated among the best by critics and clubbers alike. The city's many rooftop bars are unbeatable, being some of the world's highest (in floors) and they offer amazing views of the city. Trendy cocktail bars abound in the different neighborhoods of the city, and privately organized pub crawl tours are available.
The cost of living in Singapore depends mostly on your spending habits. According to some estimates, an international student will spend S$1000 to S$2,500 a month on living expenses.

The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) subway is the best way to get around in Singapore. It is extensive, clean, efficient, inexpensive, and easy to understand. Maps are available at every station.
Singapore's bus system has an extensive network of routes covering most places in Singapore and is the most economical way to get around, as well as being one of the most scenic.
Taxis are great if you want to go to places that are not accessible by the bus or MRT. You can hail a taxi by the roadside at most places, or by queuing for one at taxi stands found at most shopping malls, hotels and tourist attractions. A taxi fare from the airport to downtown will cost around SG$ 25-30. You can estimate the cost of transport by taxi with the Singapore taxi fare calculator.
Did you know? Singapore is the most expensive place in the world to buy a car. A new Volkswagen Golf 1.4 TSI 150 CV (or equivalent), with no extras, costs approximately S$100,000. Thankfully, you don't need a car to get around!

Hindu Ashram Worker, Nityaranjan Pandey, Hacked to Death in Bangladesh
TOPICS:BangladeshIslamic StateIslamist TerrorismPersecution of Hindus
BY: HinduPost Desk June 11, 2016
A 60-year old Hindu ashram worker, Nityaranjan Pandey, was hacked to death yesterday in northern Bangladesh, the latest in a series of brutal attacks on Hindus, other minorities and secular activists in Muslim majority Bangladesh.
Nityaranjan Pandey, 60, of Thakur Anukul Chandra Satsanga Paramtirtha Hemayetpurdham ashram, was murdered around 6:15am on Friday while he was walking near his ashram in Pabna's Hemayetpur Upazila, local police chief Abdullah Al Hasan said, according to eibela.com.
Locals surround the body of a Hindu ashram worker after assailants hacked him to death in Pabna, 275 km from Dhaka on Friday. (AP)
Police said the assailants hacked on his neck and head from behind with machetes. The nature of hacking indicated that the assailants were trying to decapitate Pandey. The murder happened only 200 yards from the ashram and near the Pabna Mental Hospital main gate; it comes only days after the killings of a Hindu priest in Jhenaidah and a Christian grocer in Natore. The modus operandi in all three cases are similar.
Pandey had been working at the ashram as a volunteer for the past 40 years. He was attacked during his regular morning walk. The ashram's General Secretary Jugol Kishore Ghosh said Pandey hailed from Gopalganj. "He has been serving here for the last 40 years. He went for a morning walk every day as he had diabetes."
Local NGO worker Naresh Madhu said: "He (Pandey) lived here for a long time. He became one of us. He was a simple man. He had no enemies."
Pabna district police chief Alamgir Kabir said radical Islamists are suspected of carrying out the attack.
Third Hindu priest/religious worker murdered this year
Nityaranjan Pandey was the second Hindu killed in Bangladesh this week, after assailants hacked a 70-year-old Hindu priest Ananda Gopal Ganguly to death on Tuesday in western Jhenaidah district when he was going to a nearby temple. In February this year, Jogeswar Roy, 45, the head priest of Sri Sri Sant Gourio Math, was beheaded in his home in Panchagar district, Northern Bangladesh, while preparing for morning prayers. The Islamic State group had claimed responsibility for both the earlier attacks.
According to this report –
"A senior Indian diplomat on Friday visited a Hindu ashram in northwestern Bangladesh where an elderly worker was hacked to death by machete-wielding suspected Islamists. Assistant high commissioner Sandip Mitra of assistant high commission of India in Rajshahi city visited the ashram and spoke to officials and priests there.
The monastery, named after a famous Hindu saint, draws huge number of Hindu devotees from across Bangladesh and neighbouring India.
On Tuesday, the suspected Islamists hacked to death 70-year-old Hindu priest Ananda Gopal Ganguly in western Jhinaidah when he was going to a nearby temple.
Two officials from the Indian high commission in Dhaka had visited the home of the murdered priest in Koratipara village of Jhenaidah and met his family members on Wednesday.
First secretary (Political and information) Rajesh Uike and first secretary (consular) Ramakant Gupta at the time told reporters that they hoped police will bring the killers to justice.
Since May 1, Bangladesh has witnessed eight targeted murders in a series of brutal attacks on religious minorities and secular activists."

People all over the world are connected to the Internet, and the Internet is becoming an essential part of modern life. The UC Irvine research team pointed out the possibility of an Internet apocalypse in the near future, in which the Internet is blocked due to the effect of a solar storm, and appealed for countermeasures.
A solar storm is a phenomenon in which the solar wind emitted when a large-scale solar flare occurs from the sun reaches the earth, and severe geomagnetic changes and radiation affect the satellites or electronic devices on the earth orbiting the earth.
It is estimated that a solar storm with a magnitude enough to affect electronic devices on Earth occurs with a probability of 1.6 to 12% over 10 years. Solar storms of this magnitude have been reported several times in the past. For example, a large-scale solar storm of 1859 has been reported to cause telegram systems to stop, telegraph pylons to set off sparks, and telegraph papers to spontaneously ignite. Also, in March 1989, the entire province of Quebet, Canada, fell into a 9-hour blackout due to the effects of a solar storm.
Fiber optic cables used to connect to the Internet are not subject to geomagnetic fluctuations caused by solar storms. Therefore, it is estimated that it is unlikely to affect local Internet connections connected by fiber optic cables. However, the submarine cable laid on the seabed for intercontinental data communication has a repeater for optical signal amplification installed, and this repeater is susceptible to geomagnetism. Therefore, it is pointed out that there is a possibility that a repeater failure due to a solar storm may affect the Internet connection.
The research team said that countries located at high latitudes, such as the US and UK, are more susceptible to solar storms than countries located at lower latitudes.
The research team said that it takes several weeks to several months to restore the submarine cable, and the economic impact of Internet failure in the United States is estimated to be more than 7 billion dollars a day. The impact of this on the world was emphasized.
In addition, the epidemic caused by COVID-19 has exposed mankind's lack of preparation for a global crisis, and the Internet likewise said that mankind did not have Internet blocking by solar storms. claiming that there is Related information can be found here.

How Do You Remain Up To Date With The Law In Oklahoma?
We keep up to date with the law in Oklahoma by producing content on our website, posting on our blog, writing books, and attending continuing legal education courses. We are constantly posting fresh content to our website. If a law changes, then we will update the content that applies to it. The content mainly goes over the actual law, and in many cases, it is a paraphrasing of the statute. We do not want to be putting out old or incorrect information on our website, so we ensure that our content remains correct. We post regularly on our website's blog. Every year, we publish a blog series on new criminal laws in Oklahoma. I research the laws that are going into effect each year and make blog posts summarizing the new law and describing the impact it will have. I have authored numerous books covering criminal defense topics in Oklahoma. This requires a significant amount of research and study. Topics I've authored books on include DUI, drug offenses, domestic violence, victim protective orders, theft crimes, burglary, and robbery. Finally, I attend seminars and continuing legal education locally and all over the country. Continuing legal education is very important to me; it not only gives me a new perspective on how to handle cases and advocate for new clients but also keeps me informed as to the most recent laws.
Do You Belong To Any Professional Legal Organizations Or Have Any Special Training?
I belong to several local and national lawyer organizations. National organizations I'm a member of are the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, National College For DUI Defense, and the American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys. Local organizations I'm a member of are the Oklahoma County Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, Oklahoma Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, and the Oklahoma County Bar Association. These organizations have resources that help keep their members informed. Several of those organizations have forums where attorneys ask questions and members of the organization respond. If I have a question that I do not have the answer to, I can post it there and an attorney from anywhere in the country can answer.
I have also received additional training specific to DUI charges, including the Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST) practitioners course and Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) training. I have attended the standardized field sobriety test practitioners' course twice. The first one I attended was in Atlanta and was more nationally-oriented training. The second class was in Oklahoma, and it had an Oklahoma focus. After that, I attended the SFST instructor course. This means that I'm qualified to instruct law enforcement officers on how to administer the field sobriety tests. This is a qualification that very few attorneys have. ARIDE is the follow-on course to the SFST practitioners course. Its focus is to detect drivers impaired by drugs.

William Lisle Bowles Bio
Born in 1762 in King's Sutton, Northamptonshire, William Lisle Bowles was a clergyman and poet who is most popularly remembered for his short collection of poems called Fourteen Sonnets. The son of a vicar and from a family that had to work hard to gather all their spare money to educate him, Bowles studied at Winchester College in his teens and then went on to take a degree at Oxford. Whilst at university, he showed a potential for poetry and won a prize for writing Latin verse.
In his youth, Bowles fell in love and wanted to marry but the relationship was blocked by both his parents. Dismayed at this outcome, Bowles took to traveling and spent time in the North of England and parts of Europe before he returned to continue his studies.
The clergy was a strong tradition in the Bowles family and it was no surprise that he followed them into service with the Church of England. For a while he took up the post of curate at Donhead St Andrew in the countryside of Wiltshire before gaining his ordination and taking on the role of vicar to Chicklade.
Over the years Bowles served as vicar in a number of parishes in the Wiltshire and Gloucestershire area, gradually rising up the ranks to become a prebendary and finally being made the Prince Regent's chaplain in 1818. Successful in his career as a vicar, Bowles wrote poetry largely as a diversion rather than to make a living as many of his peers had done.
His first major work to be published was Fourteen Sonnets which he wrote in his thirties and received good reviews from contemporaries such as Wordsworth and Coleridge. Compared to the verse that was being written at the time, Bowles' work harked back to older times and championed life, beauty and nature in all its simplicity.
It is often thought that Bowles was a competent poet and that his early work showed genuine promise but that he was a writer who believed verse should be used to extol the beauty we find in nature rather than for any higher kind of thinking. He was supported by a few critics of the time but many considered that poetry in general had moved on and new forms and ideas were already being explored.
Bowles wrote a number of longer works including The Spirit of Discovery in 1804 and The Grave of the Last Saxon almost twenty years later. His longer poems are not generally considered to be his best and not many of them have the power and imagery that some of his peers were producing at the time.
Bowles passed away in 1850 at the age of 87 and a collection of his full works was published by his friend George Gilfillan in two large volumes a few years after his death.
