Theatrical concert 'Calling All Divas' will bring its vocal firepower to West Long Branch
By: DANNY COLEMAN | July 4, 2019
COUCOU PHOTOGRAPHY

Music, once in the bloodstream, is an infection that can either consume you or lie dormant inside until awakened. In Franke Previte's case, it devours his mind and soul.
After fronting the popular '80s group Franke & The Knockouts, he co-wrote "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" and "Hungry Eyes" for the soundtrack of the movie "Dirty Dancing," winning an Oscar and a Golden Globe Award in the process. His most recent undertaking (with his partner, the incomparable Lisa Sherman) is a soon-to-be-touring show, "Calling All Divas," which is more than a concert or a theater production. It's what Previte calls "a celebration of women and song," and it will be presented at the Pollak Theatre at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, July 11 at 8 p.m.
FRANKE PREVITE
How long has this been in the works, and what makes it different for audiences?
"When Lisa told me back in 2014 that she was thinking about doing her 'Decades of Divas' show, it was like a lightbulb went off in my head," Previte says. "I started telling her that there could be a little story there about four girls getting together and how these divas throughout the years created you and made you the singer that you are today, and that you're not trying to copy them but you're celebrating them. That is what this show is about: not some tribute band where people will say, 'Oh, they sounded just like Led Zeppelin or just like The Eagles.' These girls were influenced by these iconic women. So it's more like a celebration of music than a tribute band.
"I found out that I couldn't trademark the name 'Decades of Divas,' so I came up with 'Calling All Divas' and rewrote the story about these four girls from different walks of life and different ages coming together and competing against each other … I had to redo the whole thing and that takes time."
They are fine-tuning the production with every performance.
"The show is still a little bit in the tweaking stages, kind of like when you first write a song and you write the lyrics and you're singing it in the studio and you think, 'You know, maybe I should tweak these lyrics a bit.' … some of the songs and cast members have changed. …
"The story is about these four girls who … were brought to this guy … he is going to take one of these girls and make her a superstar and have her play at his historic club, which has fallen on hard times. He tells this young songwriter Franke that he has to close the club. So Franke sets out to find the next star, because he's determined not to let him close the club. The owner, Mr. D, gives him 72 hours to find the next girl that he can make a superstar because … he's afraid of the mob, because he owes them too much money."
The action moves to various locales, as the story unfolds.
"He (Franke) goes into a gospel church and finds this girl (played by Carol Riddick) singing 'Amazing Grace,' " says Previte. "He then follows her to a blues club in Harlem and listens to her sing and pitches her to come audition. Then he goes to a country bar and finds another girl (played by Trenna Barnes) and pitches her and then goes back to the club and tells his boss that he found two girls who are really hot and one of them is going to be 'it.' And he's told by him to go and find a third because three is his lucky number. So now he's got to find a third girl.
"He was scheduled to be in the recording studio himself that night, and there he finds a friend who he's known for years (played by Lisa Sherman) in the same studio. So right under his nose he thinks he's found the third girl, and she turns him down because she has a past history with Mr D, who, last she saw him, he was naked in The Wonder Wheel on Coney Island waiting for her to meet him, and she had split, so she thinks he's still pretty pissed off at her.
"Franke leaves thinking it's over, and he hears this young girl singing in the subway and he gets her to audition. So just as the auditions are about to start a fourth girl (Sherman) shows up and so it's now the four of them. So they sing for this guy and he has to pick one and he can't figure out who to pick, and as the girls get to know each other and sing for him, they realize that they're stronger together than they are apart. So they start to work together, become friends, empower one another and become stronger — a little bit like a sisterhood."
Perhaps the most critical piece of the puzzle came after the script was set and the roles were cast: choosing the songs to fit each diva. Previte says each tune was tailored for each vocalist.
"The great songs that we picked are classic platinum songs by Etta James, Whitney Houston, and Tina Turner. But there are country songs, modern and older country songs from Wynonna Judd to Linda Ronstadt and Kelly Clarkson. There are songs from Carole King. …
"This is a totally different way to view a concert; it's more like a theatrical concert. We picked the songs that we thought were fitting to the girls' voices. Carol Riddick, who plays the blues singer, has worked with Patti LaBelle, Gamble & Huff and Sister Sledge, and she's every bit as good as they are, so it was very important for us to find songs that showed her voice off. So I found songs that show their voices off; Trenna Barnes was in a band called Cowboy Crush, who've done, like, nine albums for Curb Records, and she was in a play called 'Ring of Fire,' which was the Johnny Cash story, and she's up here from Nashville. Then for Lisa, I arranged a version of 'Rolling in the Deep,' where there's a bit of a cappella background voices and percussion; you can only hear these arrangements if you come to the show.
"I went online to find the part of the subway singer and was surprised to find Alessandra on 'The Voice,' auditioning with a song called 'The Climb' … she has a little bit of a cachet to her, and hearing her sing 'The Climb,' and knowing that it was in the show, I reached out to her and she was into joining the show."
Zach Holden plays Franke, and soap veteran Frank Dicopoulos (who was on "Guiding Light" for 22 years) plays the club owner.
Regarding the Monmouth University show, Previte said: "I thought a Thursday may be a cool night to do stuff, because it's an off night. People aren't in a hurry to get to their weekend, like they'd be on a Friday, and the show starts at 8 p.m. and is over by 10:30 p.m., so it's not a late evening. I had a chance to book this show in other places, but I thought that the Pollak Theatre would be a good building block for us because it's a community place, a smaller boutique theater which holds 720 people, not a bigger theater like The Count Basie which holds 1,500. I thought this would be … an opportunity to brand ourselves and work some things out. After this performance we are actually going on tour (in October) to Hershey, Pa., then to Mount Olive, N.J., and then in the month of November we have six dates in Florida."
Despite all the hard work, lengthy rehearsals and preparation, Previte says he'd have things no other way and wants the audiences, especially the ladies, to take something special away from the performances.
"It's really a ladies night out because when these women are singing, there's somebody in the audience who can relate. 'I'm that girl' or 'I'm that girl, she's 50 and still kicking ass.' This isn't a show about four young up-and-coming singers. It's about four girls who still believe in themselves and are still reaching for that brass ring.
"I think that's true, inspirationally, to a lot of people in life, where … they could be a mother who is changing their child's life, which makes them the diva in their family. So we're trying to portray that diva is not a bad word. I mean, Mother Teresa could be a diva as she changed the way people feel about each other. These girls are empowering each other and we want that story of empowerment to radiate to the audience."

The hottest sports on the morning of March 18: Murray believes Nadal will dominate Roland Garros again
Thursday, March 18, 2021 00:03 AM (GMT + 7)
(Sports news) Former world No. 1 Andy Murray recently hailed Rafael Nadal as a living clay legend, and acknowledged Nadal's dominance at Roland Garros for at least 2. -3 next season.
Murray believes Nadal will rule Roland Garros again
UK tennis player Andy Murray has just admitted that Rafael Nadal will continue to dominate the Roland Garros favorite tournament this season. Nadal has just withdrawn from the Miami Open scheduled to take place next week.
Murray hails Nadal as a legend living on clay
This is considered a move to help "king of clay" preserve strength and focus for the 14th championship title at Roland Garros. Murray himself agrees with the above point and even, the former world No. 1 believes that Nadal will still dominate Roland Garros in the next 2-3 years.
Zverev confirmed that a 17-year-old opponent will be in the top 10 in the world
World No. 7 Alexander Zverev gave much praise to his opponent Carlos Alcaraz after defeating 17-year-old Spanish talent at the Mexico Open. The German tennis star defeated the 132nd ranked player in the world after 2 sets with the scores 6-3, 6-1 at the ATP 500 event taking place in Acapulco.
The ATP Finals 2018 champion then gave a special compliment to Carlos Alcaraz. Even, Zverev is confident that Alcaraz will soon join the top 10 in the world in the next 2 years.
The Japanese star aims to return to the top 5 of ATP
The famous Japanese tennis player's return to top tennis, Kei Nishikori is slow but steady. After a series of serious injuries, Nishikori is ready to improve his position on the ATP standings.
The famous Japanese star won runner-up at the 2014 US Open and reached 4th place at ATP, the highest in his career up to now. He also won the Bronze Medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics. However, after a series of injuries, the 31-year-old player dropped to 45 in the world and the goal that Nishikori now set is to return to the top 5 ATP. after this year's season.
Rublev expressed disappointment with the ATP chart
The world number 8 Russian player Andrey Rublev became the latest name to criticize the ATP chart. Previously, the current US Open runner-up Alexander Zverev also said that the ATP chart is very "silly" and does not reflect the reality. Not as harsh as Zverev, but Rublev also expressed his disappointment with the ATP chart when he said that ATP should consider more about the score of players who suffered from a break due to the Covid-19 epidemic.
Hamilton plans a "premature retirement"
F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton has just revealed he is thinking more about his family and it's the right time to do just that. The top Mercedes driver of the Mercedes team has renewed his contract for 1 year with the German racing team and part of the reason is said to be planning to retire early.
Star born in 1985 has balanced the record 7 times world championship of legendary Michael Schumacher. He even set a new record when he overcame the German legend about the number of times he won the race (92 times). After setting many milestones in his career, the British racer admitted he wanted to spend more time with his family, instead of continuing his path of conquering the F1 titles.

Players won't be on ice as long during banner ceremony
LA Kings Insider September 25, 2014 119 CommentsKings Operations
There will be slight changes made in the banner raising ceremony that commemorates the 2014 Stanley Cup Champions when compared to the ceremony honoring the 2012 team.
While the players and coaches were presented with their rings on the ice on January 19, 2013 and took turns skating with the Cup prior to that afternoon's game against the Chicago Blackhawks, the on-ice pomp and circumstance prior to the October 8 game against the San Jose Sharks will be shorter, and players will receive their rings at a team event before opening night.
According to Mike Altieri, the Kings' Vice President of Broadcasting and Communications, the actual ceremony for the fans in the building will 28 minutes long. However, the players will only be on the ice for roughly 11 to 12 minutes, which includes a three-minute warm-up after the celebration concludes. The Sharks will take the ice for the beginning of the three-minute warm-up, which will precede puck drop.
"I anticipate [the ceremony] probably not being as long," Jarret Stoll said. "We want to obviously see the banner up there and drop the puck. We want to get the season going. The summer was great, but that whole night is special, to see the banner and to enjoy that for five minutes, and then we're here. It's a new season, so we'll drop the puck."
Watching the banner get raised to the rafters was a special moment two years ago, as Stoll articulated.
"It was really cool [for] us all to be standing in the corner as a group, as a team that went through it all," he said. "We didn't lose too many guys, but mostly it was our team in the corner to see it going up, and to see all the flashes going off in the crowd, the very first banner within this organization in this city, so yeah, it was special."
Matt Greene recalled similar sentiments.
"It's awesome raising the banner. That's something that'll be a lot longer than any of us," he said. "That's an honor to be able to be a part of a team that can put something up in the rafters. That's a special feeling. You take that and then kind of move on. That's over with, and start over again."
After being honored, the Kings will look to avoid a script similar to the one that followed the 2013 ceremony, when they fell behind 4-0 to the eventual Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks and lost 5-2.
"[The ceremony] just went on a little bit too long, I think, last time," Matt Greene said. "We really weren't too ready to come out and play, and Chicago came out and just beat the doors off us. I think we want to make sure we're ready to go out more on point than we were because this is huge starting off in the division and against a team that we're going to be fighting to make the playoffs against."
Darryl Sutter was blunt about what he remembered about the prior ceremony, which was delayed due to the NHL lockout.
"We would've preferred to do it in October," he said.
Matt Greene, on any particular thoughts on opening the season against San Jose:
No, I think it'll just be a good game…They want to get off on the right foot, we want to get off on the right foot, so I think it'll be a good game, You develop rivalries from playing against each other in the playoffs, and we've done that the last few years, so it's going to be a good game, but I'm sure it's going to be one of many on opening night.
Jarret Stoll, on whether he's looking forward to opening the season against San Jose:
I think everybody's looking forward to it. Just getting ready, getting our timing back, all these two and a half, three weeks just to be ready for the regular season. It doesn't matter who we're playing. It's pretty ironic, maybe, for the outside world to see who we're playing, but in here it's two points obviously for the standings. We prepare the same way, but it's pretty interesting as well.

On Thursday, Grand Slam champion and arguably the greatest athlete of all time, Serena Williams got hitched to fiancé and Reddit co-founder, Alexis Ohanian in New Orleans. Unsurprisingly, it was quite the lavish fete. Nevermind the celebrity guest list, it was Williams' wedding dress that took center stage. She wore a voluminous Alexander McQueen gown fit for the queen of the court. It was a style Williams herself admitted was unexpected.
The gown is epic but beautifully sparse: a smooth strapless neckline and a voluminous princess skirt, topped off with a simple cape and $3.5 million worth of jewelry. Not too shabby.
As for Ohanian, he wore an Armani suit and classic bow-tie. Though the biggest tear-jerker is actually the date of the ceremony, November 16.
As Williams explained to Vogue, this is the date of Ohanian's mother's birthday, who passed nine years ago. "Choosing her birthday as our wedding date was a nice way of making sure she's still involved and made us feel more connected to her on our day," she said.
As for the event, the couple wed in New Orleans at the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans, Louisiana and from the looks of it, no expense was spared. The couple's daughter, Alexis Olympia was in attendance (of course) and Serena's bestie, Val Vogt carried her Yorkshire terrier, Chip, down the isle. Chip wore a teeny tuxedo.

It's increasingly tricky for youngsters to get car insurance these days. This is unsurprising in part, given their unfortunate propensity to bounce off lampposts and what-have-you, but the financial impact of this is becoming somewhat prohibitive for today's youth. When I was learning to drive back in 1999, it was the norm among my circle of friends to pay around £200 for a car, then budget about £700 to insure it. At the time, this seemed completely crackers. But that's nothing compared to what's happening now – the average cost of car insurance for a 17-20 year old in the UK is over £4000. Average! That means there are a lot of teens out there who are paying rather more than that… the figures are just staggering.
The obvious answer is this: drive something retro. As well as being cooler and more fulfilling, your insurance will almost certainly be much cheaper (and, arguably, an old car might be easier to fix when it inevitably breaks).
After a few years you'll have built up a nice little no-claims bonus, so you'll be well equipped for the task at hand in every feature you find in this magazine: modifying your car to make it awesome. And if you want a few pointers to get you going, you could do worse than have a chat with Beinn Goodchild. He's the owner of this Polo, and he's been having a bit of fun with it.
"I had a Mk1 Golf project when I was fifteen," he explains, immediately reducing about 50-percent of you to shuddering heaps of jealousy. Honestly, when I was fifteen I was playing Gran Turismo and shoving Pringles into my face, it didn't occur to me that I should have been out on the driveway terrorising an unsuspecting hatchback with a Halfords socket set. People like Beinn catch on early.
"I never finished the Golf," he continues, although evidently it offered a strong and swooping learning curve. "I bought this Polo at the age of sixteen. That was around August 2009, and it cost me £250. Surprisingly it was a very solid car, despite its extremely faded red exterior." And yes, much like countless young aspirational modders out there, Beinn opted to bide his time with a stock runabout until the insurance man was feeling a little lenient.
This, as it transpired, only held tight for about eight months before the whole plan went banana-shaped, but we'll get to that in a bit. For the while, Beinn was enjoying that incomparable freedom of holding a shiny new driving licence and freewheeling his way about the country with casual, deliberately aimless abandon. Ah, halcyon days. What we'd all give to be fresh-faced and bushy-tailed, eh?
It's rolling static, you'll be impressed to note, and Beinn's knocked up some really quite cool one-off coilovers comprising TA bodies with custom springs and MaxRPM rose-jointed top mounts. The engine's also been raised 35mm, and various other crucial bits have been re-engineered to be higher up too: the gearbox, the ARB, you name it, and the sump and 'box mounts are shallower as well. Brake lines and fuel lines have been re-routed inside the car, all with the aim of running as low as a snake's belly. This guy certainly doesn't do things by halves.
And if the brutal daily static lows haven't blown your mind, just check out the wheels. He built them himself, of course – what more would you expect? "The centres started life as Formula Ford race car centre-locks," Beinn breezily explains. "They're now fully custom 13-inch splits – 8-inch up front, 9-inch out back – with Radinox dishes and Gotti hardware; the centres have been plugged and redrilled to 4×100." Phew. Did you have anything that badass on your first car? No, me neither.
This, then, has been a solid and forthright lesson in 'how to do your first car properly' (yes, we know Beinn's first car was actually that Mk1 Golf, but this was his first road car, it counts.). We stand by the advice that it's worth considering a rattly old-school motor if you want to appease the insurance company, as the friendly premiums will allow you to save for future excellence. But that stuff we were saying about waiting a few years and building up some NCB? Yeah, forget that. Roll the dice. You only live once. The best advice we can offer here is simply: Be Like Beinn. This is a fella who's got life figured out.

Australia news live: Sydney city stores added to NSW Covid-19 hotspots list as mayors protest against New Year's Eve rules
The Guardian on The Guardian
Three shops in the central business district and two supermarkets in the eastern suburbs were visited by people who have tested positive to coronavirus. Follow all the latest news and updates, live Sydney New Year's Eve restrictions explainerCovid hotspots NSWAustralia border restrictionsFollow our global coronavirus live blog 9.40pm GMT Immigration minister Alex Hawke has instructed the Department of Home Affairs to work with authorities in New South Wales to identify temporary visa holders who breached coronavirus restrictions in Sydney over Christmas, to potentially deport them from Australia. Hawke, who was promoted to the immigration portfolio at this month's cabinet reshuffle, said tourists found to have "flagrantly" disobeyed the public health orders could have their visas cancelled and be placed into immigration detention. He also said the government may charter flights to deport some. I was shocked at the scenes on Bronte Beach (on Christmas Day)…Absolutely under the migration act if someone is threatening public safety or health their visa can be cancelled and revoked.Certainly the federal government is looking at that issue. I've instructed the Department of Home Affairs to work closely with NSW authorities in the lead-up to New Year's Day as well to make sure that everyone is doing the right thing and if anyone is caught doing the wrong thing that their visa status will be brought before the federal government. 9.32pm GMT Fortunato Foti, of the Foti family who have for years been behind Sydney's New Year's Eve fireworks display, has revealed what this year's shorter event will look like. Foti told Channel 9:It's probably a little bit disappointing (that gatherings around the foreshore are banned) but we are glad that we are still able to put on a show for the people of Australia.The display is basically from the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Sydney Opera House, four pontoons in front of the Opera House and a main barge at fort Dennison.

Dr. Aamodt is a 1982 graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic, the oldest and most renowned of chiropractic colleges. He did additional post-grad training in Forensic Science and Disability and Impairment Evaluation via National College of Chiropractic in Chicago. He supports the ACA (American Chiropractic Association) and other worthy organizations within the medical profession.
The goal of all chiropractors is to realign joints of the spine that have moved out of their normal position. We call these "subluxations". Think of them like mini-"dislocations" which cause pressure and pain but have not torn retaining tissue to be true "dislocations". These jammed or irritated joints cause more problems because these spinal bones house all spinal nerves. If not corrected, the pressure can cause effects on the body, both noticed and more subtle.
If you've ever wondered what a subluxation looks like, below is one example. (That is a side-view of a patient's neck.) Even a layman can see the problem! Various "techniques" are simply ways to maneuver the joint back into its "neutral" position so the nerve interference can naturally resolve. Removing the reason for "wear & tear" early in the process, reduces the risk of future osteoarthritis and bone spurs which can cause long-term back pain. Chiropractic can help a variety of problems, including some headaches, mechanical back pain, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, sports injuries, and many types of acute and chronic joint pain. Ultrasound, electric stimulation, diathermy, and medical massage therapy are also tools we apply when appropriate.
X-Rays may sometimes be necessary to evaluate for subluxations. We only take x-rays if medically necessary and try to get existing films you may already have had previously. We can also order CT or MRI if warranted. We often can detect subluxations by palpation (touch) and only about 20% of our patients require x-rays. When x-rays are taken they are confined to just the area in question to avoid overuse.


One of the most marketable money market securities is surely Treasury Bills or T-Bills. It is important to know that U.S. government raises money from public through these bills. They have short term maturities – 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year.
How do you make money from T-bills?
These money market tools are purchased at a price that is less than face value. Full par value is paid to the holder by the government at the time of maturity. Difference between the amount you receive at the time of maturity and purchase price of the Treasury bill is the interest you earn from the investment. Let us suppose, a person purchases a 90-day T-bill at $9,800. If he/she holds it for the entire period, he/she will earn $200 at the time of investment. Treasury Bills should not be confused with coupon bonds as the latter pays interest on a semi annual basis.
When it comes to treasury bills, a bid needs to be submitted either competitively or non-competitively.
a) When the bidding is non-competitive, full amount of security can be received by the bidder at the return that is determined at the time of auction.
i. The bidder may not receive any securities.
ii. The bidder may receive only a portion of the amount that he had bid.
To learn more, you may go through the T-bills tutorials and information at CMC markets.
What are the Advantages of Treasury Bills?
1. Treasury bills are one of the most popular money market instruments because they are quite affordable to individual investors and at the same time the safest investment vehicles available (U.S. government backs T-bills and that's why they are called risk-free).
2. It is important to note that neither state nor local taxes are levied on treasury bills.
3. They are available in denominations of $1 million, $100,000, $50,000, $25,000, $10,000, $5,000, and $1,000.
1. Extreme safety of the asset class restricts the return from it. When compared with other bonds or money market funds, T-bills come with considerably low return and are therefore regarded by many investors as one of the biggest drawbacks of Treasury Bills.
2. Another disadvantage of this money market vehicle is that the investor may not get back his/her entire investment if cashed out before date of maturity.
It was back in 1977, 30-year Treasury bond futures were introduced in the Chicago Board of Trade. It was only afterwards that other product lines were introduced such as 2-year, 5-year, 10-year Treasury note and "Ultra" Treasury bond futures of 30 years.
Treasury Futures are derivatives that track specific Treasury security prices. By taking a long position on a Treasury futures contract, you agree taking delivery of the underlying T-bill securities at the price at which the investor bought the futures contract.


Our nine year old granddaughter, Anna recently asked me if I had seen "The War Room". I had, but only a few days prior to my discussion with Anna. I was quickly informed that she and her mother had seen "The War Room" five times.
What stirring challenges come to us through the mouths of kids. Anna's war room caused me to feel a call back to that kind of childlike faith and simplicity of belief- and to renew my commitment to quiet, dedicated prayer and fellowship with God. I tear up, realizing how blessed we are to have Anna in our family, when I look at this picture.
What an amazing piece of armor the Lord has given to us through the awesome privilege of prayer. I pray for you who are following God's call in your nursing career. Your friendship and faithfulness is an inspiration. You bless us and challenge us on the GFCNA Board through your prayers as we seek to bless the lives of others.

Blow for Branson's Virgin Blue
By Lachlan Colquhoun
SIR RICHARD Branson's plan to sell a £108m controlling stake in his Australian start-up airline Virgin Blue may come to nothing after the main condition for the deal - the purchase of failed carrier Ansett - appeared to slip through Virgin's hands.
Ansett administrators have indicated that they would sell the failed airline to a rival bid by Melbourne businessmen Solomon Lew and Lindsay Fox. The Australian Government - which is subsidising benefits and pension payments for the airline's 16,000 staff - is expected to approve the deal this week.
'As far as the administrators are concerned, it's full steam ahead for the Fox-Lew bid and we are going for launch in terms of the airline and the launch date is 31 January,' said Ansett administrator Mark Korda of accountancy firm Andersen.
On Sunday, Australian stevedoring and logistics group Lang Corporation announced that it planned to take a controlling 51% stake in Virgin Blue for A$300m (£108m), but said that the investment was conditional on Virgin winning key Ansett assets, including terminal facilities. 'We think there is not much point expanding Virgin if it is not going to be able to get access to key assets that would allow it to expand rapidly,' said Lang chief executive, Chris Corrigan.
It is not known at this stage whether any of these 'key assets' would still be for sale if the Fox-Lew bid is successful, but it is unlikely. That could leave Virgin Blue still looking for the 'cornerstone investor' it is seeking ahead of a stock market listing next year. It could also leave the Virgin Group short of cash as it looks to shore up international airline Virgin Atlantic, and bankroll the launch of Virgin Mobile in the US, where it has struck a deal with Sprint.
'It should be emphasised that there has been no bid from Lang and Virgin Blue, merely an expression of interest in certain assets,' Korda said. 'The airline has been sold, subject to a number of conditions. If those conditions are not met, then we might be in a position to deal with Lang Corp.'
Shares in Lang fell 12 cents to A$10.57 in a stronger Australian market as investors factored in the new situation. Without Ansett's bricks and mortar assets, Virgin Blue is a much less attractive proposition for Lang, which has ambitions to establish a premier airfreight business.


I've been wanting a pair of Clarks Wallabees for a while now and I finally bought 2. It was the night before my co-worker's wedding and I wanted to buy a pair of shoes to wear. I have a pair of black Timberlands that I wore in the past but they were uncomfortable. Abby was at Ontario Mills that day so I met up with her after work.
I decided to check out the Clarks store since I was already there. They had a sale, buy one get one at 25% off. I found some black, suede ones that I had my eye on the last time I was there. They feel so comfortable, it's like walking on a matress. The guy also brought out the last pair of some canvas ones. They were nice and I haven't seen them before so I bought them too. Abby liked the suede ones too so I bought her a pair too. So for 3 pairs of Clarks Wallabees I spent around $220 – not bad I thought.

ZEVIOUS: MetalSucks Streams Lowlands Album By New York City Instrumental Avant-Metal Trio; LP Out Friday Through Nefarious Industries
[photo by Justina Villanueva]
MetalSucks is now streaming the entire fourth LP by New York City-based trio ZEVIOUS, Lowlands, ahead of the album's release through Nefarious Industries this Friday. The band, formed by a trio of musicians who also play in in Dysrhythmia, Sabbath Assembly, Many Arms, Smother Party, and more, has also announced a hometown record release show for the album for September 7th.
Lowlands marks ZEVIOUS' first effort for Nefarious Industries and offers a subtle change in direction from their previous two releases. On Lowlands, the band explores a hypnotic and more streamlined rhythmic approach while maintaining their abrasive edge with influences ranging from new-wave and 20th century composition to doom and black metal.
With their early stream of ZEVIOUS' new LP MetalSucks offers in part, "the band continues to blur the lines between prog, jazz, and metal to create something likely to appeal to all fans of forward-thinking music, regardless of the genre. At no point does the band achieve, say, a Psyopus-level of heaviness, but they've definitely got the mathcore gene for resisting conformity in favor of bravely exploring uncharted territory. Put more succinctly: you really need to check out Lowlands."
Stream ZEVIOUS' intense Lowlands LP at MetalSucks RIGHT HERE.
Lowlands sees release on 12" vinyl and all digital outlets via Nefarious Industries this Friday, August 17th. Find preorders at the label webshop HERE and via Bandcamp HERE.
ZEVIOUS has also booked their first live show in support of Lowlands with a release party for the LP scheduled for September 7th in Brooklyn, with Cleric and Mick Barr also on the bill. Watch for additional live dates to be announced in the weeks ahead.
ZEVIOUS Live:
9/07/2018 Ceremony – Brooklyn, NY *LP release show w/ Cleric, Mick Barr
Since forming in 2007, Mike Eber (Smother Party), Jeff Eber (Dysrhythmia), and Johnny DeBlase (Sabbath Assembly, Many Arms) have sought to blur the lines between prog, jazz, and metal as ZEVIOUS. The band released their self-titled debut in 2008 which featured a more traditional acoustic sound and hinted at the compositional style the band was beginning to develop. Soon after, the band caught the attention of Cuneiform Records and released After The Air Raid in 2009, abandoning the traditional sound of their first record for a more power-trio style involving louder volumes with a leaning toward melodic/polymetric compositions.
The subsequent years marked a period of frequent touring and musical development for the band. In 2013 ZEVIOUS released their second record for Cuneiform, Passing Through The Wall, an even more aggressive realization of their trademark polymetric style. After a fruitful US tour with Dysrhythmia in late 2013, the band worked feverishly on a new batch of material while playing more on the NYC metal scene with acts such as Behold…The Arctopus, Krallice, Ocrilim, Child Abuse, Cellular Chaos, and others.

Justin Burke-Samson appreciates the classics.
So the California native feels right at home as the executive pastry chef at Kindred and Hello, Sailor restaurants outside his mother's hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina.
He also appreciates a year-round supply of farm-fresh ingredients that he puts to work in seasonal treats like this tribute to retro strawberry pretzel pie.
Burke-Samson grew up on the sweet-and-salty original, but, as a professional pastry chef, he decided to make a few changes to the formula. He dialed down the sweetness, lightened the texture of the cream cheese filling with whipped cream, and added complexity with chocolate malt powder and fresh strawberry puree.
It's still an easy icebox dessert, in slab or round form, made entirely with ingredients you'll find at the supermarket—though, if you want the fruit filling to pop, you'll seek out fresh farmers' market strawberries while they're in season this spring.
Using a food processor, crush pretzels into a fine meal. There should be no large pieces. Pour into a large mixing bowl. Add brown sugar and malt powder and stir to combine. Then, slowly drizzle in melted butter and continue to mix until fully incorporated, and the pretzel meal feels like wet sand. Scoop the mixture into a pie plate or, for a slab pie, an 8×8-inch square or 9×13-inch rectangular pan.
Using the bottom of a measuring cup, press the crust mixture firmly into the pie plate or pan. Start from the center and work your way to the edge. By the end, your crust should be ¼ inch thick.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly toasted and golden. Cool the pan on wire rack, then freeze until ready to use.
Combine the heavy cream and vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl. Using the stand mixer or a handheld mixer, whisk until stiff peaks form. If using a stand mixer, remove the whipped cream and reserve in a mixing bowl.
Combine cream cheese and powdered sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl. Cream until light and fluffy.
Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture. Remove pie crust from freezer and gently spoon in cream cheese filling. Smooth the surface with a spatula, and then return the dish to the freezer.
Using a blender or food processor, puree one 16-oz. container of strawberries. Reserve ½ cup of puree in a small bowl, and combine the rest with sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring sugar and strawberry puree almost to a boil, whisking frequently.
Thinly slice remaining strawberries lengthwise. Remove pie from freezer and lay sliced strawberries over cream cheese mixture in a spiral pattern. Alternately, you can chop strawberries and scatter them over the surface. Return pie to freezer for at least two minutes.
Pour cooled strawberry gelatin over the strawberry slices, and use a spatula to smooth it. Transfer the pie to the refrigerator, and allow at least 4 hours for the gelatin to fully set. Garnish with whipped cream.

TransAlta Renewables Inc. has announced that its 206.4 MW Windrise wind facility (the "Windrise Facility") achieved commercial operation on November 10, 2021. The Company also announced that its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Windrise Wind LP (the "Issuer"), has priced a secured green bond offering by way of private placement for approximately $173 million (the "Offering").
"This is our tenth wind facility in Alberta and is the first project to reach commercial operation out of the eight projects awarded through the second and third rounds of the Alberta Electric System Operator's Renewable Electricity Program," said Todd Stack, President. "The completion of the Windrise Facility during the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates our team's execution capabilities and commitment to delivering on our customers' needs for clean electricity."
The Windrise Facility is located roughly 20 km southwest of Claresholm on approximately 11,000 acres of privately-owned land. The project consists of 43 Siemens Gamesa 4.8MW turbines. The Windrise Facility is TransAlta Renewables' largest wind farm to-date and has a 20-year offtake agreement with the Alberta Electric System Operator (the "AESO").
The Offering will be secured by, among other things, a first ranking charge over all assets of the Issuer, subject to the security granted by the Issuer to the AESO for certain amounts that may become owing to the AESO in certain circumstances. The bonds will be amortizing and will bear interest from their date of issue at a rate of 3.41% per annum and mature on September 30, 2041. Payments on the bonds will be interest-only to and including December 31, 2022, with quarterly blended payments of principal and interest commencing on March 31, 2023. The bonds are aligned with the four-components of the 2021 International Capital Markets Association Green Bond Principles.
The Issuer intends to use proceeds of the Offering to, among other things, repay all amounts owing by the Issuer pursuant to an intercompany construction loan agreement entered into in connection with the Windrise Facility, make advances to TransAlta Renewables on a subordinated basis pursuant to an intercompany loan agreement, the proceeds of which will be used to finance or refinance eligible green projects, including renewable energy facilities and to fund a construction reserve account. Closing of the financing is expected to occur on or around December 6, 2021.
Windrise Facility Highlights:
- Average annual EBITDA of $20-$22 million;
- Total capital cost of approximately $280-$285 million;
- Long-term contracted cashflows with a high investment grade counterparty; and
- Extends the contracted duration of the Company's cashflows

Two Czech curators given high Japanese order
Prague, June 17 (CTK) – Two Czech curators of Japanese collections, Alice Kraemerova and Helena Honcoopova, received the Japanese Order of the Rising Sun for the promotion of Japanese culture from Japan's Ambassador to Prague Tetsuo Yamakawa in his residence on Tuesday, Lidove noviny (LN) writes Wednesday.
"I have been preoccupied with Japan the whole life. I feel very honoured," Kraemerova, who worked in the Naprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures in Prague, told LN.
Kraemerova has prepared a number of exhibitions of Japanese art and crafts and she has catalogued the Japanese collections of the Naprstek Museum and given lectures. She has translated a number of Japanese writers and was teaching at the Faculty of Arts of Prague's Charles University.
Honcoopova, former curator of Japanese art at the National Gallery in Prague, has been dealt with Japanese culture for 30 years. In 2003-20012, she helped digitise the collections of Japanese graphic art. She has also translated Japanese literature. A collection of Japanese poetry in her translation will be published this year, LN writes.
The prestigious Order of the Rising Sun (Kyokujitsu-sho) has been presented since 1875. Originally it was bestowed only on soldiers, later also on civilians and foreigners who contributed to better relations with Japan. Its laureates are, for instance, U.S. actor and director Clint Eastwood and post-war German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer.
LN says only a few Czech citizens have received this order. Those are legionary Jindrich Bejl in 1921, architect Antonin Raymond in 1964, artist Jan Kavan (1991) and scientists Vera Hrdlickova (2006), Zdenka Svarcova (2010) and Vlasta Winkelhoeferova (2012) as well as legendary gymnast Vera Caslavska, Olympic winner from Tokyo and Mexico City, who was given the order in 2010, LN says.
This is the second most significant decoration in Japan after the Supreme Order of the Chrysanthemum, LN writes.

Volunteering abroad supercharges the path to adventure, growth and impact. For some, helping others overseas for a long or short period of time is the most meaningful and enjoyable experience they've had.
The year I spent volunteering as a teacher in Budapest, Hungary ranks as the best year of my life. Many others you'll talk with will say the same thing: setting aside time to help solve people's problems in a foreign land will transform your life.
People who work overseas in developing countries as a career truly are superstars who deserve our respect. For this post, I am targeting those intrigued by the possibility of volunteering abroad but don't see it as their long-term calling in life. For Part 1 in this series, I'll talk about the personal benefits of volunteering—next week, I'll talk about the communities we work with and the impact of sustainable volunteerism. I hope to encourage people who are willing to invest at least a week and ideally an entire year (or more!) in a good cause overseas. The longer you spend abroad, the more you will be personally challenged and changed, and your opportunities to make a positive impact will only increase.
My own goal—and what I recommend to most everyone—is to commit to volunteering for an extended period at least three times in life: (1) When you're "young" in your twenties and thirties; (2) When you have kids or to take a sabbatical in the middle of your career; and (3) When you've "retired" from your primary career.
Does Volunteering Abroad do More Harm than Good?
An important preliminary issue to address is whether the overall effect volunteering overseas is a negative one for the people and communities we're trying to help. Many say that volunteering is a way for naive do-gooders to feel good about themselves and then leave a mess behind them when they leave. Just like liberals and conservatives battle it out over whether welfare is a good or bad thing, there are important considerations about the beneficial or harmful effects of charity.
When not done well, organizations can keep local communities from learning how to do things on their own or can destroy the economy at the village level. Some (Sarah's note: including myself) love to point out classrooms in Africa stuffed full of donated computers with cobwebs on them because no one knew how to use them. These are critical issues and we should choose wisely—with the macro view in mind—when we sign up with a particular organization.
When you approach volunteering as a mutually beneficial exchange—say, where the "rich westerner" also receives a huge amount from the local population—then this is ideal. We need to approach volunteering out of genuine respect for so-called "poor" countries. Because they are often "rich" in time, relationships and often are in better health, both physically and mentally. For example, the Massai tribe in Kenya runs barefoot and in the fresh air, and they don't have any joint pain and or triple bypass surgery.
Indeed, Western people are horrible about over-consumption, materialism, pollution, genocide, destroying the environment, being workoholics, and not being aware of and appreciating other cultures. By sharing what we're good at, and learning what other countries are good at, you will have an amazing experience.
It's certainly true that volunteers need to be involved in projects that actually help other countries over the long run. But for all the setbacks and downsides of international charity work, the smart people who fund and oversee these efforts—like Bill Gates with his foundation or Hillary Rodham Clinton with the U.S. State Department—they see the powerful positive overall impact. I like my Mac way better than Windows, but I trust Bill Gates to be doing the right thing with his massive effort involving charitable work. In addition, I trust Warren Buffet, who is giving all his money to Bill Gates to do this too!
Would it be better that a local doctor repaired a woman's fistula than a westerner? Yes. Would it have been better for a local Hungarian to teach students than a foreigner like me? Yes, but then they wouldn't have experienced my superb American accent and I wouldn't have experienced their culture. In sum, when it's done well, charity work provides essential benefits that a developing country would not otherwise receive.
What Makes Volunteering Abroad so Powerful?
The best year of my life so far has been the year abroad as a volunteer. I have many friends who say the same thing and my sister just returned from her third extended volunteer trip. This time, she spent a year in Spain and prior to this she spent a year in Honduras and a summer in Guatemala. So why is volunteering abroad such a great experience? Personally, this year overseas enabled me—and helped me—to live out my deepest values by cutting out the stuff that distracts me every day.
Genuine desire to help others + need for adventure + fear to overcome + very limited income + radical simplicity in my material possessions + new country & culture + intense learning + work that makes a difference + new friendships with locals and volunteers + travel & exploration + freedom from money & consumption + simple pleasures of food, music, reading, talking, writing, walking + gratitude for what you do have in the western world + gone for at least a year + changed habits and priorities = Best Year of Your Life.
My experience is that the most important element in this magical formula—the key ingredient—is taking action to directly help others with serious challenges. What is often missing in our regular jobs is the ability to directly and simply help people with needs much bigger than our own. This concentrated experience of doing so for a year was life-changing.
Very simply, nearly everyone greatly respects when someone spends time abroad—especially when it's done not merely to travel, but to work to solve a significant problem in a developing country.
Also, taking time to volunteer often allow people to switch their work focus or their entire career should you choose to do so. In fact, when I was 33, for fun I decided to apply for a job with the Clandestine division of the CIA. I got four levels into the interview process and then pulled out after my wife and looked carefully at what we wanted out of life. But simply getting these interview opportunities was mainly possible because of my overseas experience. Yes, volunteering abroad is great for your career!
The key to living well in general—and certainly for having the best experience of your life—is to act upon your deepest values. You will have the most joy when you are pursuing what you value the most.
It is nearly impossible to be happy and do fulfilling work if you're not acting in a way that is in harmony with what you value most in life. It is therefore critical that each of us clearly identify what we want out of life and what we value. Because when you live out your deepest values—your big "why"—you will be most satisfied and happy in life. Especially when adversity hits (which it will).
An unfortunate quality about human beings is that we can be distracted very easily into living in a way that is out of step with what we actually value. A key reason for this is that we are manipulated by powerful messages that change our behavior to make money for the people behind those messages. The end result is that we aren't fully satisfied with how we're living and what we're doing.
In addition, Westerners—and Americans in particular—often don't realize the "golden handcuffs" we wear in regards to debt and lifestyle maintenance. An Indian friend of mine told me about some Indian parents who lived in what they described as a "Five-Star prison" in a Texas McMansion. They couldn't drive and there was no public transportation or human contact during the day. Sadly, even if we can drive and pick up some coffee in a drive-through, we can get used to our five-star prisons.
However, volunteering abroad exposes the five-star prison as unnecessary and undesirable in order to live a truly rich life.
To help you confirm what you value the most—and see it in black and white—I highly recommend that you compose a dying declaration.
A "dying declaration" is a legal term that means if a person uttered some words while he was dying, then this can be admitted into a court of law and won't be considered hearsay. For over 800 years, British and American courts have recognized that when people say something when they're dying, it is incredibly reliable and trustworthy.
So a very accurate way of zeroing in on what each of us value the most in life would be to record what each of us would say if we were convinced we were about to die. However, most of us will thankfully need to use our imagination. Therefore, imagine you were stuck in the snow, knew you were freezing to death and wouldn't make it out alive, an have the chance just to write one letter to the person you care about the most in this world.
Besides expressing your love, what else would you say? I believe what you'd say reflects your deepest values AND is the key to figuring out what you want to do with the rest of your life, including whether you should volunteer overseas for a period of time.
He didn't say, "Ah bummer—I really messed up and don't let our boy repeat my mistakes. Just encourage him to get an office job and live a safe life indoors." He expresses the exact opposite! Overall, what shows through his example is that he lived out his values: his dying declaration clearly matched up with what he valued in life and he was able to die without regrets.
I encourage you to confirm your deepest values by trying to simulate a "dying declaration." What would you tell people you care about? What advice would you give? Then go and live that out.
Evolutionary science is showing that if we aren't actively helping each other, then we won't be that satisfied. It's an exciting time to see the application of evolutionary theory to all kinds of issues today. We're figuring out that we're better off living as we were designed to live—as we have evolved to live. Our food is a perfect example. It's shocking how confused Western people have become regarding food. We're finding our way back by looking at the what we evolved to eat—the natural food we should be eating. Evolution also provides insights into raising kids, exercise, and conducting business, among many other things.
And understanding evolution also lays out a path for making choices that will lead to the highest level of satisfaction for how we interact with others. In short, human beings have been designed to help each other out. In the same way that our bodies look healthy and are healthy when we eat and exercise the way we evolved to, our minds and our spirits will be most fulfilled when we live in the way we evolved to live: to take care of each other and help those in greatest need.
Not convinced? An excellent book I'd recommend is The Moral Sense by James Q. Wilson, a former Harvard professor. He makes a very compelling case that people are moral creatures because we evolved to be that way. A very quick and simplified summary of the origin of morality is that one hunter going after a bear is not going to have as much success as four hunters who collaborate, keep their word, and are trustworthy and brave. Over a long period of time, these desirable moral qualities have become both a part of human nature and of human culture worldwide.
And so just as people who eat Cheetos and soft drinks all day long are going to have bodies that are distorted and never reach their potential, the same is true of people who live selfishly and don't live in a way they were designed to: helping others.
The reason it is so satisfying to serve others is because in so doing human beings are fulfilling their highest potential—like the horse running or the bird flying. Here's the pattern and big picture: a group of five hunters collaborating is better off than one. When two villages collaborate and help each other, they're all better off than as separate villages. Indeed, entire nations are better off when we all collaborate and help each other. So you could call this a common core value of all people or you can simply call it human nature.
OK, yes, but what about all the evil stuff people do to each other? It's true that people and villages and nations have been doing horrible things to each other for thousands of years. We all know that people don't regularly choose what is good. In fact, we frequently choose selfish or evil things. But no one—besides sociopaths—actually gets satisfaction from being evil. People are only truly satisfied when we do good and help each other.
Also, consider good revenge movies. Tarantino is a master at these and I like them for what they are. On one level, it's kind of satisfying to watch the underdogs shoot up Nazis or kill slave traders. But we all recognize a better approach that is more powerful, inspiring, moral and truly human: overcoming evil with good. That's why the civil rights movement and Gandhi are rightly celebrated today. Instead of getting revenge, they changed the system and helped millions of people live a better life.
Most people around the world aren't rapists or serial killers or genocidal maniacs—instead we're just passively focused on selfish consumption. It's very similar to the easy path forward with our diet and exercise. The easy, default way of life for westerners is to eat processed junk and lay around. This is kind of enjoyable at first but definitely not truly satisfying long-term. In fact, we have evolution to "blame" for this. Sugar was so rare—and resting was so rare—back in the cave days, that our bodies will seize the opportunity for both when we can get it.
Similarly, the reason people are so often dissatisfied with their work is because it's like the modern diet: not the way it's supposed to be. We should be eating healthy and helping others directly because it really is "our pleasure" to do good things for others. When we devote a substantial amount of time to helping others it is like going on an all-natural super healthy diet for the soul. We feel great, like we're getting back into shape. When we have a service deficit in our lives from doing work that's not helping others as much as we'd like, volunteering overseas will get you back in equilibrium.
To sum up this evolutionary argument: helping others is not a value for some and not for others; it is a common value at the foundation of human nature. It is what makes us human. This is not something a person can say is "my value." Instead, it is "our value."It's also easy to get sidetracked with fights that don't actually help people or the planet for that matter. We should choose Martin Luther King's approach over Tarantino's approach to securing justice and happiness. Similarly, just as it is very easy to get out of shape, eat junk food and lay around, it is very easy to live a consumption-focused, selfish life where you passively let other people make money off of you by following the crowd. Many people fall into the trap of not doing anything meaningful – and truly satisfying – to help others.
Indeed, the most satisfying, exciting, and fulfilling way to live is to be actively others-centered. Volunteering overseas can quickly get you living in a way that is most enjoyable and meaningful. Then, as a changed person, you can bring back your new perspective and lifestyle to your long-term career.
I'd like to share the example of Patrick Chang, who is a remarkable person who shows how to focus intensely on living out our shared, most important value: helping those in need. The distractions that most of us have to deal with were cleared away for him. He could see clearly that the most joy and meaning in his life would result from helping others.
Patrick was a classmate of mine in junior high and high school in California. He was an excellent athlete—a swimmer training for three hours a day and aiming perhaps for the Olympics. He was a very nice guy and a great student. Sadly, in 8th grade he had a terrible accident and he broke his neck in a swimming pool. He became a quadriplegic and was able to use his hands in a limited way to guide his wheelchair.
What was amazing about Patrick was that all the way through high school he had a peace, maturity, depth and friendliness to him that far exceeded his age. He was smart and he poured himself into his studies. I'd ask him for help with chemistry.
Patrick set up the fund and young people in China have been benefiting ever since. He's helped about 2,000 college students thus far. Patrick got his Ph.D. in economics and he didn't stop with finding creative ways to help others after setting up the scholarship fund. He asked himself: "Besides my money, what else can I give?" Well, he has an excellent voice and also speaks Mandarin. So he created the "PEN" network (Patrick English Network) that helps underprivileged Chinese kids learn English—and he was able to eventually visit China and meet the students he helped. As you can imagine, he was received like a rockstar.
Instead of "giving back," Patrick gave up front. He's made the most of his opportunities to meaningfully help others. The result is that he received all kinds of wonderful rewards as he gave: joy and satisfaction that the lives of hundreds of people are better off because of his own life.
Not all of us on the planet are destined to volunteer overseas. However, if we have the interest and the ability to do so, we can make a powerful positive impact and have an amazing experience.
After focusing extensively on "why" to do it, I'd like to transition now to sharing the expert views of a seasoned international volunteer. We'll take a look next week in Part 2 of this series!


Paradoxically, In Aging in the pursuit of science the Best Thing and in service, I maintain testing items rather than a number of them are bad and all them work. The Alucia wrinkle remover doesn't work altogether with other compounds that are liquid. I got a girl called Sharon – once I explained why I was calling, she asked for my mailing address, right spelling of my name… and I was put on hold.
Claims by Alucia Anti Wrinkle Complex – It is time to put skin previously! This is your opportunity to find injections' results without breaking the bank or torturing your face. The injection session that is ordinary prices over $1,000. You need to find those touched every three to six weeks, so that you may imagine how much that'll cost in 1 year. And of course, the health of your skin ca improve.
However, you are given the effects by Alucia Anti Wrinkle Complex and leaves your skin healthy at precisely the exact same moment.
I asked questions that were numerous but I asked her to call me back in one hour and she said she'd call at 1pm Eastern time. I reside in CA and it was 9am, so she is 3 hours ahead-NOT LOCAL…but somehow was calling from a neighborhood area number. I'm talking the town over from where I live. Here's the number-hoping this might help anyone trying to get in touch. I received a call showing from Boulder Creek. I Reside in Scotts Valley. Hope to help someone scammed.That is interesting, Rachel! I hope that your article helps people until they have an additional problem to be worried about. And thank you!
I find extra nervous when it comes to confronting people or in person and lots of times they use this quality of people like me. Reading your reply over and over again made me try and I got to them. This time it was a gentleman who didn't agree to await the product and asked me to wait a little once I said I wish to cancel my membership. He had to ask someone for advice and was new.
When he came back he offered me to cancel my membership but keep the item at a lower price and all that stuff, but I said I wish to send it back the minute I receive it and I need to be sure they've cancelled my membership. He sent me a cancellation away with a reference code and agreed after a while. I hope this is legit. He wouldn't allow me to get a word in and started raising his voice and then he hung up on me!
Alucia Anti Wrinkle Complex is an cream as stated on its site. The cream was made to fight off wrinkles, flakiness of the skin and skin discolouration. Consists of ingredients that concentrate on eliminating the signs of skin aging. The beauty cream is developed with the intent of adapting and suiting to the requirements of the epidermis.Apart from several advantages to the skin, AluciaCream has another benefit it can be bought online with no hassle.
Alucia Cream's ingredients are not entirely clear, but it appears to include peptides and antioxidants, both of which can support the health of cells and connective tissues in your face. It comes in the form of a cream, just as the name suggests, which makes it easy to apply on a regular basis. By massaging it into your face, especially after washing and drying, you can moisturize and nourish those often-exposed tissues directly!
Unfortunately, the website for Alucia Cream doesn't give us much information about its ingredients. We did find some references to peptides and antioxidants, however, as well as an assurance that the product's ingredients are all natural and gentle for those with sensitive skin. It is hard to judge exactly how true that is without more information on the contents, of course.
Use the product for 14 days and you can cancel the subscription before the end of the trial period if you aren't pleased. Or you are able to continue with the subscription and the cream is going to be delivered every month. Just go ahead and purchase your magic potion for a flawless and youthful skin.I ordered some products from the Christie Brinkley website. I believe that the products were advertised as only $1 or $2 for samples that are free, and I recall providing my card details online. Later, once I checked my debit card statement online, I felt shocked to observe that over $100 had been debited (stolen) from my bank account from Christie Brinkley cosmetics. It took me quite determination and a long time to get this rectified. I had to ask my bank to cancel my account cancel my debit card that is present, and have a new card issued by post with a time of more than a week before I had the ease of using my card. I did phone with no answer at first, and a call back after several attempts to speak to someone.
They admitted they refunded the amount, apologised, and deducted the cash from my account. I discovered this to be suspicious. Additionally, I felt naive to trust this company in the first place, and handing over my card details online feels risky!I told her which it was cancelled by me She said she would It's been over 15 hrs ! Alucia Skin Cream is an ultra premium. This wrinkle formula glides on smooth and quickly absorbs leaving skin.
And remember, much less questionable were Dr. Oz's other tips: He stated multi-peptides restore tone to drooping skin since they contain proteins that help collagen development, and he advised applying retinol at night and using soy lotion into the early morning.Hi Tamanna! All is resolved although I'm so sorry for the delay in writing back to you, I've had some server issues the previous 24 hours! Having used my top 3 products for the better part of the previous four decades, for your skin being normal to dry, I feel that Kollagen Intensiv would be ideal for you as it's somewhat more moisturizing than Dermology or Lifecell. It is a collagen booster, it feels wonderful going on, silky smooth but not greasy, and you'll be able to use it underneath your eyes (not on eyelids though). Use it. The neck skin is the thinnest skin on the body (aside from you eyelids) and will begin showing your age as soon as you hit 40 (like me eeeek!) .
Instantly experience a lift which will help diminish the look of lines. Notice an immediate boost to your skin's vibrancy. The formulation of clinically proven ingredients provides. The ingredients make this formula safe for all skin types.Christie figure without scamming people please !!!! how to sell your product I read reviews. I signed up for my trial. Then I checked my bank account. I somehow had two distinct charges on my account one for $4.99 and the other for $4.95. They explained that I signed up for both of them, when I called the customer service phone number. They were quite argumentative about it. I didn't sign up they're claiming I did.
As soon as the customer service rep and I argued, he changed his tune to inform me they'd give me a supply for this sum of money. I told him it was a scam and I'd like him to refund my money. He said that wouldn't happen and argued. He said I could return the product when it came to me and gave me codes to put on the boxes for my return. He said he said he'd send me an email with its refund when I asked him if I was out the almost $ 10 for the shipping. Time is gone by and I haven't seen. DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!I would really like to visit a class action lawsuit.

Were you aware that Shopcade is available in 3 nations? You may select between US UK and FR to have a look at sales and content.My conversation with Zak was pleasant, although he tried several times to inform me about what I had agreed to. I said that matter, I wanted to cancel all shipments and a refund. It took about 3 rounds of that conversation before he gave in and offered me 50% refund. I thanked him and said that wasnt enough… I wanted a 100% refund. He greed to that. I asked how long it would take for the refund. He said 3-5 days. I said that would be OK, and on Day I would be calling the agencies.
Haven't let down my guard, although I am hopeful. Might need to wait to find out whether it works out as he explained, and if it doesn't, I'll be calling all of! Get results. This is a product that fights the signs of aging and visibly improves tone and the texture of your skin.
Try Alucia Anti-Aging Skin Cream, if you want skin that looks and feels great. This item can allow you to to get rid of wrinkles and lines that obstruct your attractiveness. When you apply this is directed you may look years younger. You will begin to see a substantial improvement in your skin's health and beauty. Most people today believe the symptoms of damage and aging are irreversible. Alucia Anti Aging can't prove this assumption wrong!
However, I hope this gets straightened out back 15, as I'm mailing the item.Night Cream formula and the Alucia Wrinkle Eraser includes the Skin Tensor Technology that targets the top layer of the skin to help firm and revitalize it. A new dimension is added by this skin to wrinkle and line reduction with its exclusive Complex. The Complex within this wrinkle eraser penetrates into the surface layers of the skin to construct a matrix to help restore the youthful look of skin.
In my opinion, Kollagen Intensiv is the most reasonably priced and it comes in a tub so that it's a quantity that is fantastic. It's sold outright and not on a trial by the way, and they have a 90 day money-back guarantee.


According to Business Insider, "Dogs often exhibit strange behavior like sniffing other dogs' butts, eating poop, getting the zoomies, and more." What is the medical reasoning behind these strange behaviors though? It can all come down to evolutionary or instinctual behavior. The reason for zoomies is a wonderful reason. Only happy and healthy dogs with pent up energy get the zoomies, so they should be celebrated.
