According to the "Status of the Namibian Economy'' document, Namibia's labour market looks more vulnerable with unemployment increasing over the years and employment decreasing. The working age population has increased by 55 593 new entrants into the labour market. A significant share of the youth population is unemployed at 43.4percent (aged 15-34 years), which is an increase of 4.4 percent from 2014, and almost 12% difference between males and females.
The youth are heavily affected by this as they are the most in the country and are considered the leaders of tomorrow. But as much as we are crying for many unemployed youths in Namibia, and trying to come up with new ways of creating jobs, we ought to be proud of the fact that there are Namibian youths abroad that are working day in and day out to make a living and more importantly to represent the country.
Paheja Siririka (PS) caught up with Lily Rukoro, 27, who is gracing the skies through a foreign airline. She is currently residing in Cyberjaya, Malaysia where she is working for AirAsia X Berhad as a cabin crew member for ten months now. "I was amongst a few other Namibians, who were fortunate to have been awarded a scholarship by NSFAF in conjunction a Malaysian tertiary institute (Limkokwing University of Creative Technology) to further my studies. Three years after which I graduated with a Diploma in Multimedia, Advertising and TV Broadcasting," she relates.
In reference to what most people are venturing into these days, entrepreneurship, Rukoro says most youth possess great entrepreneurial skills, but due to lack of something as basic as "drawing up a good business proposal" to help scout for potential sponsorships from the government (or private sector companies), they easily become a statistic of unemployment with their degrees in their pocket. "They have the plan, the vision, but the execution is quickly dampened by lack of knowledge on how to get started as an entrepreneur." Setting up entrepreneurial skills acquisition training centers may create an opportunity for some youth to put to good use their entrepreneurial skills instead of waiting on government hand-outs, as they will be equipped with the right knowledge, how to start, the basics, the way forward and skills on how to "milk" what they individually have to offer, thus becoming self-employed youth.
"It's going to be quite the transition, be prepared to be culture-shocked, exhausted the first couple months and downright homesick, but fret not, embark on your 'overseas' journey with lots of positivity, the spirit of being totally open to the change, knowledge about what you're getting yourself into, a little research about the company, country, currency, people, culture, expats rules and regulations etc; will guarantee for a smooth transition," is Rukoro's advice to fellow youth aspiring to work abroad.
Her further advice to the youth right now is for them not being able to secure a job in the fields they studied. But for her this is alright considering the local economic state, but that doesn't mean one shouldn't try and find other types of jobs either. "Remember a "jack of all trades" is a master of none, but often times better than a master of one, so seize the day, it's clear the government's hand isn't long enough to reach to everyone all at once, so don't sit around and wait for your turn for a free hand-out.

Spring is here and the Germans usually celebrate it with a Spring Festival. They call it Frühlingsfest, an annual beer festival and fair now on its 71st year, and here in Stuttgart it is celebrated from April 11th to May 3rd. We went there last Sunday, April 26th to have a feel of this German festivity.
The entrance to the 71st Stuttgarter Frühlingsfest.
There were lots of attractions and rides including the Transformer, the Turbo Force, the Starflyer, the Höllenblitz, the Alpina Bahn (a family coaster ride), the WIldwasser Bahn (a coaster ride for the entire family), the Power Tower (a free fall ride), the Bellevue Riesenrad (ferris wheel), and the Wilde Maus. Food and drinks were also available anywhere the venue including the famous Almhüttendorf, a small "village" at the festival that depicts old alpine huts. As exciting and breathtaking as the rides were, we didn't take them yet since Sam is not old enough to ride them. But we did have lots of fun eating and drinking and strolling and playing some games.
Blue skies and warm weather: perfect for the festivities.
The Wilde Maus and The Bellevue Riesenrad.
There were also games that you can play for a price. Hanhan played basketball and won Sam a cute Good Night teddy bear, which she lovingly hugged upon receiving it. The cost of playing at 2 tries, 5.00 Euro. The cost of seeing Sam so delighted and happy, PRICELESS!
Sam and her new teddy bear which Daddy won for her.
thanks for the visit friend!

There are activities that younger adults do every day without much thought. However, these same activities may prove to be difficult for an aging senior. For example, seniors and disabled people may find it challenging to bathe, dress or feed themselves. Fortunately, there are agencies that provide personal home care services so home bound clients can live life independently in their homes.
Besides offering basic care and companionship, in-home caregivers provide clients with compassionate, private and caring services that will maintain your loved one's overall well-being and respect. These agencies will work with you or your loved one and family members to create a personal home care plan that is customized and will meet the specific needs of the client.
Personal hygiene is a daily ritual that not only cleanses the body, but it also soothes the mind and spirit. Caregivers can provide as much assistance as needed while also encouraging the client to participate in their own self-care. This type of care allows the client to feel refreshed, reenergized and clean.
It does not matter whether your loved one prefers baths or showers; professional caregivers can provide assistance when it is deemed unsafe or challenging for your loved one to do so on their own. The bathroom can be a dangerous environment to someone with mobility and balance issues. However, the bathtub and shower areas can be especially slippery. You can have peace of mind knowing that your loved one is not home alone and he or she has assistance to ensure safety remains the top priority in the home.
Is your loved one having issues with urine or bowel control? Many professional caregivers are trained to specifically handle the special needs of seniors and the disabled who are dealing with frequent or occasional incontinence.
Quality personal home care services should be able to handle all of the care your loved one needs so you can simply enjoy being a family. This will allow you to regain time and cherish every moment that you still have with your loved one.
For more information about our Personal Home Care Services, contact us today.

[ARCHIVED] City of Pocatello Scores Two City Achievement Awards from Assoc. of Idaho Cities | 6/21/21
The City of Pocatello brought home award hardware from the Association of Idaho Cities' Annual Conference.
The City walked away with two City Achievement Awards during the group's Awards Banquet Thursday evening. The first was in the Youth Council category for the Pocatello Mayor's Youth Advisory Council (MYAC) Essential Needs drive held in April. At the drive, MYAC members collected items like shampoo, soap, diapers, and more for those who are in need in the community. The collected items and monetary donations were distributed to five local organizations.
The second recognized the City in the Public Safety category for Pocatello's participation in the "Stay Smart. Stay Safe. Stay Open." campaign. The joint effort between Southeastern Idaho Public Health, City of Pocatello, Portneuf Health Partners, Pocatello-Chubbuck Chamber of Commerce, Idaho State University, and Pocatello/Chubbuck School District #25 sought to "remind area residents of the importance of practicing key strategies to battle (COVID-19) and, in doing so, keeping the economy open."
"We're honored to be recognized by the Association of Idaho Cities," said Mayor Brian Blad. "Thank you to the MYAC members, City staff, and project partners who were able to make these efforts a success."
Last year, Pocatello earned a City Achievement Award in the Economic & Community Development category for the Northgate Interchange Public-Private Partnership.

News Report Non-violent action Palestine
Mass Strike in pre-48 Territories
Palestinians in the pre-1948 occupied territories have staged a mass strike in protest of continued Israeli crimes against Al-Aqsa Mosque and the recent escalations which extended to all areas of the West Bank, Gaza and the pre-1948 occupied territories.Several districts in the pre-1948 territories joined the mass strike, in response for the call of the high follow-up committee, which declared the strike last Sunday, during an emergency meeting, and called for a demonstration on Tuesday.
The Islamic movement in the occupied territories called in a press statement all Palestinians to abide by the strike and to participate in the mass demo in support for Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa mosque.
Al Ray reports that, in Jerusalem, all schools were called upon to mourn the Palestinians killed by Israeli occupation forces, and to protest Israeli crimes against Palestinian children.
On its part, the Ibrahimi School, where Mustafa Al-Khatib (18), a young man killed during the surge of escalations, declared a three-day mourning, protesting the illegal execution policy.
Al-Khatib was killed after Israeli forces shot him dead near the Lions' Gate, for allegedly attempting to stab an Israeli settler.
In the same context, the student Marah Bakeer (17), was severely injured after an Israeli settler shot her in Jerusalem's Sheikh Al-Jarrah neighborhood.
Meanwhile, the Gaza Strip is witnessing a mass commercial strike at all governorates, in support of the recent uprising and to mourn recently slain Palestinians.
The mass strike takes place from 8:00 am until 12:00 pm; whereupon Palestinian factions call upon all shops and people to join the strike, in coincidence with the mass strike in the West Bank, Jerusalem and the 1948 territories.

Q: Ie11 Grid collapses on itself I'm trying to use CSS Grid in IE11. From what I've heard, it is posible. What I am trying to do is something like this:

Example on CodePen
My HTML is simple:

1

2

3

4

The CSS is
.grid {
  display: -ms-grid;
  display: grid;
  -ms-grid-columns: 1fr 20px 1fr 20px 1fr;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
  grid-gap: 20px;
}

.col {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  height: 100px;
  background: #ddd;
}

When I load the page in chrome, it's fine (see image above). Alas, here's how it looks in IE11.

Even though I've added in the relevant MS prefixes, it still seems like the boxes are stacked on top of each other.
Anyone know what I'm missing here?

Q: How do I break the one dimensional array when condition met? I am trying to enter an array of numbers (only integers for now) and what I wan't to do is if the user enters all the needed numbers, give him the ability to break the operation of entering numbers and skip to printing the entered numbers. My code is below. So the thing is, I've set 100 array elements, but if only have 5 to enter I don't wan't to enter the other 95.
Commented code is what I've tried and it didn't work. ( I work in CodeBlocks and am a total beginner, so I'm still learning this...)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
//Declaring variables

int one_d_array[100],counter=0;

printf("Enter a list of numbers(max. 100)\nTo end, enter two zeros (00)\n");
for (counter=0;counter<5;counter++){
    scanf("%d",&one_d_array[counter]);

    /*if (one_d_array[counter]==00){
        break;
    }*/

}
printf("Entered list is:\n");
for (counter=0;counter<5;counter++){
    printf("%d\n",one_d_array[counter]);
}
}

return 0;
}

A: fgets can be used to input a line. If the line is 00 exit the loop. Otherwise sscanf tries to scan a number.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main( void)
{
    int one_d_array[100],each=0,counter=0;
    char input[99] = "";

    printf("Enter a list of numbers(max. 100)\nTo end, enter two zeros (00)\n");
    while ( 1){
        if ( fgets ( input, sizeof ( input), stdin)) {//get a line
            if ( strcmp ( input, "00\n") == 0) {//exit on 00
                break;
            }
            if ( ( sscanf(input, "%d",&one_d_array[counter])) != 1) {// != 1 means sscanf failed
                printf("could not scan a number try again\n");
                continue;
            }
            counter++;
            printf("numbers input: %d\n\n", counter);
            if ( counter >= 100) {
                break;
            }
        }
        else {
            fprintf ( stderr, "problem reading input\n");
            exit ( 1);
        }
    }
    printf("Entered list is:\n");
    for (each=0;each<counter;each++){
        printf("%d\n",one_d_array[each]);
    }
    return 0;
}

A: Variable names cannot start with a number, so I've edited it accordingly.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(){
//Declaring variables

int oneD_array[100],counter=0, num=0;
char c[3];

do{
    printf("Enter your %d number, q to quit", counter+1);
    scanf("%s",&c);
    if(c == "q" || c == "Q"){
        break;
    }
    else{
        num = atoi(c);
        oneD_array[num];
        counter++;
    }

}while(c != "q");
printf("Entered list is:\n");
for (int i = 0;i<counter;i++){
    printf("%d\n",oneD_array[i]);
}
}

return 0;
}

Citizenship Bill debate: Protests turn violent in Assam, 3 Army columns deployed
The bill was passed in Lok Sabha with 311 votes in support and 80 against it.
By : IBT News Desk
Demonstrators display placards during a protest against the Citizenship Amendment Bill.Reuters
The contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019, which was passed in Lok Sabha on Monday midnight amid fierce opposition, is set to be tabled in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, December 11 at around 1 pm.
The bill was passed in Lok Sabha with 311 votes in support and 80 against it. The Bharatiya Janata Party seems confident of it getting clearance in the upper house as well. On the other hand, Congress has issued a three-line whip to its Rajya Sabha members to be present in the upper house when the bill is introduced.
Congress has also planned to stage a nationwide protest against the bill. "I request you to undertake dharna pradarshan (protest) tomorrow (Wednesday) against the Bill in state headquarters by involving the senior leaders and frontal organisations," read a letter by Congress General Secretary (Organisation) KC Venugopal.
While major opposition parties have described the bill as "anti-Muslim", Union Home Minister Amit Shah said that Indian Muslims have no reason to fear as it will not affect the Muslim community residing in the country. The bill had also triggered massive uproar in the Northeastern states.
Hundreds of protestors had taken to the road on Monday, to demonstrate against the controversial Bill. In Assam - one of the states that had previously opposed the bill – protestors blocked roads, burnt tyres and painted walls with slogans against the new proposal.

TMC's Derek O'Brien compares Nazi Germany with Citizenship Bill
Trinamool Congress MP Derek O'Brien draws similarities between Nazi Germany and the persecution of Jews and Assam NRC and persecution of Bangladeshis and Muslims. "84 years ago, Nazi Germany passed a law and today what we are doing in the House has an eerie similarity. Beware of the signs of dictatorship," said Derek O'Brien.
The TMC MP also said, "Don't try to teach us what being a Bengali means. We are seeing all these people today trying to teach us what being a true Bengali means and what patriotism means. Don't try to teach us nationalism and patriotism. Look at the records of British prisons to see how patriotic Bengalis are. Who are you to teach us?"

Max Payne је серијал видео-игара, жанра пуцачине из трећег лица, насталих у периоду од 2001. до 2012. године. Игру су развили Ремеди ентертеинмент (Max Payne и Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne) и Рокстар гејмс (Max Payne 3). Серијал је назван по свом протагонисти, Максу Пејну, полицијском детективу из Њујорка, који је кренуо путем освете, након што су његову породицу убили трговци дрогом. Први и други део серијала написао је Сам Лејк, док је Max Payne 3 првенствено написао продуцент Рокстар гејмса Дан Хоузер.

Прва игра серијала Max Payne, објављена је 2001. године за Windows и 2002. за Xbox, PlayStation 2 и Макинтош. Друга верзија игре је објављена за Гејм Бој Адванс 2003. године. Наставак под називом Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne објављена је 2003. године за Xbox, PlayStation 2 и Microsoft Windows. 2008. године објављена је филмска адаптација, под називом Макс Пејн, која се базира на оригиналној игри, у дистрибуцији Твентит сенчури Фокса, са Марком Волбергом и Милом Кунис у главним улогама. Max Payne 3 развио је Рокстар гејмс и објавио 15. маја 2012. године за Xbox 360 и PlayStation 3, а 1. јуна 2012. за Мајкрософт винодуз.

Max Payne франшизу карактерише тзв. временски ефекат (енг. Bullet Time) који је популаризован од стране Матрикса. Позитивно је прихваћена од стране критичара, мада је продаја игре Max Payne 2 била неуспешна. До 2011. године игра Max Payne продата је у више од 7,5 милиона примерака. Освојила је велики број признања, укључујући и награду БАФТА. Филмска адаптација је добила негативне критике, али је била комерцијално успешна.

Premier League Darts Night 14 Report!
Michael van Gerwen and Phil Taylor will contest a winner-takes-all clash in Rotterdam next week, as the pair remain locked on points at the top of the table after they both secured comprehensive victories in Manchester on Thursday evening.
Van Gerwen only leads Taylor on legs difference, but 'The Green Machine' maintained top spot with a stunning 7-2 win over his compatriot Raymond van Barneveld. MvG averaged 108 against his elder statesman; reeling off five consecutive legs en route to victory.
Van Barneveld recorded an average of 101 and hit five maximums, but he was contending with an unstoppable force in the shape of the world number one. Van Gerwen came desperately close to hitting a 9-darter in the seventh leg; wiring D12 with his ninth dart.
The 27-year-old from Boxtel continued his purple-patch, as then converted sublime finishes of 122 and 167 to condemn Barney to his heaviest defeat of the campaign. Yet despite the scoreline, the five-time world champion did very little wrong.
However, Phil Taylor remains hot on Van Gerwen's heels, as 'The Power' dispatched Adrian Lewis 7-2 to keep the pressure on his Dutch rival. Lewis established an early 2-1 advantage, but Taylor, who averaged over 104, secured six successive legs to earn his 11th win of the season.
Lewis leads Peter Wright by just the solitary point in the race for a play-off place, after Snakebite eased to a routine 7-1 win over eight-time major winner James Wade. Wright averaged 99.15 and posted six maximums, as he profited on some uncharacteristically poor finishing from 'The Machine'.
Despite recording 12 140's, Wade endured a torrid time on the doubles, converting just one of his 12 double attempts at a percentage of just 8.33%. This defeat ends the left-hander's hopes of qualification, but Wright could potentially secure a top four spot with victory over Raymond van Barneveld in Rotterdam next week.
Nevertheless, world-champion Gary Anderson will be present on final's night at the O2 Arena on May 19th, as he thrashed his fellow Scot Robert Thornton 7-1 to confirm his top-four qualification.
Anderson, who defeated Van Gerwen in last year's Premier League final, registered an average of 99.33%, as he punished Thornton's abject checkout conversion rate of 13%. Anderson will definitely finish third in the table, and his semi-final opponent will be the loser of next week's clash between Van Gerwen and Taylor.

With any business, large or small, the success and health of the company often relies heavily on the health of its employees. A worker's well being is an important factor, contributing to a business's profit and overall efficiency. Ultimately, poor employee health can negatively impact productivity as well as the overall operational costs of running a business.
the coming year. With recent economic developments and changes in U.S. financial policy, many businesses estimate their health care benefit costs will increase an average of 7.2 percent in 2012, more than twice the rate of inflation. In an effort to reduce such costs, many employers will be shifting increased health care expenses to their workers. While employees brace for heightened healthcare costs and reduced benefits, employers are looking to cost-mitigating strategies such as consumer driven health plans and wellness initiatives.
Employer-sponsored wellness programs focus on improving employee health and productivity, as well as the overall success of a company. These programs aim to improve the overall health and fitness of its employees through preventative measures, to reduce future health problems and an increase in health care costs.
Health education is key in terms of implementing an effective corporate wellness initiative. With the help of wellness educators and health-care professionals ranging from nutritionists, registered dieticians, and certified personal trainers, to physical therapists and physicians, employees have a valuable team of resources to help employees identify the necessary lifestyle changes that will reduce the effects of previous choices that have negatively impacted their health. By identifying the root of specific health issues, these professionals can help promote employee wellness on an individualized level, improving the health, productivity, corporate fitness and overall efficiency of a business and its employees.
Since each workforce has a different overall health profile, some business being more physically demanding than others etc., it's critical to identify specific resources that are most important for augmenting employee health to reduce health care costs. This can be accomplished through creating an accurate depiction of a companies' general workforce, overall employee health, and specific health risks unique to each line of work. For example, studies show that 'desk job' workers develop weight-related ailments, such as poor cardiovascular disease, at significantly higher rates than the individuals with more physically demanding jobs. Therefore, an office based wellness program would likely choose to incorporate fitness awareness programs and nutrition education initiatives.
o What are the demographics of my workforce?
mobile and in the field, or a combination of the above?
o What does my company's insurance claims data tell me about the chronic conditions my employees may have? Where are my employees particularly at risk?
o Are my employees in a setting with easy access to fresh food, walking trails, fitness facilities and other amenities?
o Do our facilities include a manufacturing plant, a biotech lab, a call center or any other work environment that requires special consideration?
To aid in this task, corporate wellness programs begin with health screenings. This is a health assessment to identify the health risks of individual employees'. We then analyze the results and provide each employee with a personalized intervention targeting specific health risks. This allows us to create an accurate employee health-profile to provide a foundation for wellness, as well as an opportunity to create actively engaged employees.
The second step in our corporate wellness program is a series of follow-ups to inform employees of their health risks. By increasing the availability of health, fitness and wellness resources, employees have the available toolsto access health facilities and take the first steps towards a healthier lifestyle.
Other services of our wellness program include one-on-one or group exercise training, personal counseling sessions, weight-loss support groups, nutritional intervention, and personalized health screening based an individual's health history and specific clinical and lab testing. We help each individual to identify health risks, and advise them on how to reduce such risks.
The program holds each employee accountable and strives to motivate individuals to make positive changes. One way is through creating business-specific incentives that are at minimal or no cost to the company. Incentives go a long way in terms of generating interest in wellness and promoting employee adherence to specific programs. Proper incentives play an important role in keeping employees motivated, engaged and invested in wellness over time. Rewards tied to results rather than solely participation can also help promote a healthier employee base.
Corporate Wellness strives to reduce the cost of health care, promote a healthy work-life balance augment employee engagement in wellness. In any wellness program personal accountability is to ensuring success, therefore we strive to create wellness programs that revolve around individual accountability. To help achieve such qualities in our program we try to create a culture of wellness. Only when there is management 'buy-in' and participation the rest of the organization follow. It is also important to take a holistic approach to wellness.
It's important to remember that 'wellness' involves every aspect of health, not only taking into consideration nutrition and exercise, but how employees budget for health care, cope with job-related stress, as well as their other health needs. It's crucial that employers account for their employees' emotional, social, physical and fiscal health when implementing any corporate wellness plan. While onsite workout facilities are excellent for an employee's physical health, employers should also be aware of their employees' family life, financial security, and other socio-economic and emotional pressures they each face. Ultimately, a healthier workforce means a happier workforce with greater productivity and performance at their jobs.
Wellness programs are most successful when the business and workers are fully engaged in the program with good health in mind. A successful workplace isn't about the bottom line alone. It also means creating a safe and healthy workplace for each individual.
By starting a Corporate Wellness Solutions Program, corporations are able to improve the overall productivity and are able to save money on health care expenses. Often, corporations are concerned about the actual wellness ROI (return on investment) but the fact is that by encouraging healthier lifestyles, corporations are creating healthier employees who will work more diligently and miss fewer days of work due to illness.
It is imperative that companies not only provide Corporate Wellness solutions for their staff members, but that they also maintain ongoing knowledge about safety and wellness techniques. Businesses need to keep up to date on health statistics and stay aware of ways to encourage specific wellness issues like use of tobacco cessation or weight loss.
Although businesses may establish a comprehensive Corporate Wellness program with many options, an incentive Corporate Wellness program is often necessary for encourage employees to actually participate in the programs.
Whether one is creating corporate wellness in Phoenix or a corporate wellness small-town of Wickenburg program, the issue that companies often have in common, is the lack of motivation of employees to actually participate in corporate wellness programs. Providing incentives for employees, such as a free lunch or gift cards, may be simple enough rewards to encourage employees to participate in.
The lifestyle questionnaire information is gathered and an individual confidential report is generated that summarizes health risks in addition to information on how to lower risk factors.
o Measure program success by comparing the data from one year to the next.
o Plan and promote periodic or regular educational sessions.
o Publish and/or post healthful tips in newsletters, paycheck stuffers, bulletin boards, etc.
o Have employees work a Registered Dietician on Personal Trainer to develop custom meal plans and healthy lunches to bring to work.
o Make available periodic screenings for cholesterol, blood sugar, body composition, etc.
o Provide handouts and information on work life balance, such as financial planning, childcare, parenting, elder care, etc.
o Provide supervisor and manager training on communication, relationship building, organizational stressors, etc.

J.R. Smith Announces He Is Returning to the Cavaliers
admin August 21, 2015 Headlines, NBA No Comments on J.R. Smith Announces He Is Returning to the Cavaliers
The J.R. Smith era will continue in Cleveland.
Smith has been twisting in the wind after opting out of the last year of his previous deal, leaving roughly $6.4 million on the table. Though there have been reports that he's fielded lucrative offers from other teams while also keeping in contact with the Cavaliers, the time that has elapsed during his free-agency period was staggering in its length.
There was never any doubt he would end up with a contract, nor did it ever seem like he was truly in danger of leaving the Cavaliers. There were really only two questions: When would he return to Cleveland, and how much of a pay cut would he accept to do so?
Both of those questions were answered on Thursday night—the first of which by Smith himself, who announced his return to Cleveland via Instagram with the following caption:
Happy to say that I am returning to the Cavs! It's been a long ride this summer but I can say for sure, well worth the wait. When I opted out of my contract, I wanted to understand the landscape of the NBA and where I fit best. The Cavaliers had things they needed to do in order to piece together a championship caliber roster. I ended up deciding that instead of potentially securing a larger deal elsewhere, I wanted to rejoin an incredible organization in pursuit of the ultimate goal, an NBA championship. Thank you to the Cavaliers for making this happen. Can't wait to get started! #TheLand
Additional details began trickling out shortly thereafter.
According to the Northeast Ohio Media Group's Chris Haynes, Smith's deal is worth $5 million next season and includes a player option for 2016-17:
J.R. Smith, Cavs agree to two-year deal, league source tells @Clevelanddotcom. Will earn $5 million next season and player option on second.
— Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) August 21, 2015
He is also now the proud owner of a no-trade clause:
J.R. Smith also has a no-trade clause, I'm told.
For those wondering why or how Smith received a no-trade clause, there's a provision in the collective bargaining agreement that allows for him to negotiate said perk. ProBasketballTalk's Sean Highkin was kind enough to bring it to our attention:
Here's the CBA provision that allows J.R. to have a no-trade clause (via @LarryCoon): http://t.co/4xUX5Upsig pic.twitter.com/Wh9bkAqwgV
— Sean Highkin (@highkin) August 21, 2015
It makes sense for the Cavaliers to comply with that request, assuming it was Smith's party that asked for the no-trade clause. The veteran chucker complemented LeBron James nicely as a spot-up shooter during his brief stint in Cleveland last season, and while he can be a barrel of drama, the Cavaliers weren't going to find anyone to legitimately replace him. And because this isn't a five-year deal, the risk is minimal if Smith flames out. At worst, he's a disaster and the Cavaliers cannot trade him, but they'll be done with him no later than 2017.
Opting out remains a questionable decision on Smith's behalf. He's now earning less than he was initially slated to, and he didn't secure a long-term contract ahead of the salary-cap boon when one of his selling points was supposed to be that he would, in fact, sign a long-term pact ahead of that salary-cap boon.
Still, he nabbed $3.6 million more in guaranteed money over the life of his deal. It isn't a lot, but it's additional security.
Now we just have to wait and see if Smith has a 2015-16 campaign worth a bigger payday next summer.

A 44-year-old West Virginia woman overdosed after getting high on heroin and crashed into a police cruiser escorting a funeral procession. The unidentified woman ran through a red light and hit the Huntington law enforcement officer's cruiser.
The West Virginia police officer's cruiser was struck by the woman in the midst of an overdose at about 3:40 p.m. on Saturday afternoon. When first responders were able to reach her car, the found the woman unconscious.
Naloxone was used to revive the woman after the heroin overdose. Cabell County law enforcement officials stated the Hurricane, West Virginia, woman had injected herself with heroin before getting behind the wheel of her car. The city of Hurricane is located about 30 miles east of Huntington.
After regaining consciousness thanks to the Narcan shot, the woman refused any further medical treatment. She was arrested and had a misdemeanor DUI charge levied against her. The West Virginia woman is currently being held in the Western Region Jail, the Herald-Dispatch reports.
Huntington Police Chief Joe Ciccarelli revealed two passengers in the vehicle driven by the woman who overdosed on heroin were also arrested on misdemeanor charges. One of the passengers in the vehicle that crashed into the police cruiser escorting the funeral procession was cited for permitting a DUI.
A second passenger was charged with possession of an intoxicating substance. The West Virginia police cruiser was damaged during the crash but no injuries resulted from the incident, according to a Daily Mail report.
West Virginia has the highest opioid overdose rate in the United States, Business Insider reports. Alabama, Tennessee, and West Virginia also reportedly have the highest opioid prescription rates in the country. "Pill mills," like the Sav-Rite Pharmacy in town of Kermit, West Virginia, reportedly prescribed 3.2 million doses of hydrocodone to people complaining of pain in 2006 alone.
The Mountain State is one of the top 10 states for the prescription of "high-dose" opioids and "extended-release"opioids — the types of pills drug addicts reportedly covet the most. Opioid prescriptions in many states grew substantially between the mid-1990s through 2010.
Dr. Carl "Rolly" Sullivan has overseen the drug addiction program at the West Virginia University Hospital since 1985. He believes there is a significant link between the heroin and opioid abuse and the state economy. Dr. Sullivan said the abundance of blue-collar workers employed in the coal mine, timber, and agriculture industries were staffing economic sectors that were likely to produce injuries and require pain treatment.
Dr. Sullivan and other experts in the field believe the labor-intensive jobs that puts staffers at high risk for work-related injuries, coupled with years of a struggling economy, made West Virginia and similar areas, prime targets for opioid use – and ultimately abuse.

Recent initiatives in the U.S. and U.K. have added greatly to the amount and quality of research on the effectiveness of secondary reading programs, especially programs for struggling readers. This review of the experimental research on secondary reading programs focuses on 69 studies that used random assignment (n=62) or high-quality quasi-experiments (n=7) to evaluate outcomes of 51 programs on widely accepted measures of reading. Categories of programs using one-to-one and small-group tutoring, cooperative learning, whole-school approaches including organizational reforms such as teacher teams, and writing-focused approaches showed positive outcomes. Individual approaches in a few other categories also showed positive impacts. These include programs emphasizing social studies/science, structured strategies, and personalized and group/personalization rotation approaches for struggling readers. Programs that provide a daily extra period of reading and those utilizing technology were no more effective, on average, than programs that did not provide these resources. The findings suggest that secondary readers benefit more from socially and cognitively engaging instruction than from additional reading periods or technology.

Charles Mingus – The Clown (Speakers Corner)
by Atlantic, Speakers Corner Records
Ships from: Melbourne
Who doesn't have a very old, noodled copy of "The Clown" in their closet? The cover shredded, the inner sleeve torn? Or one of the rare re-releases made of cheap thin vinyl with banal cover graphics? Anyone who hasn't played this treasure on the many Mingus LPs, CDs and downloads for ages should get it quickly!
"The Clown" is and remains one of the must-have records in a jazz collection. The LP was recorded for Atlantic in New York in March 1957 in a small line-up of only five, and contains exclusively original compositions by the bassist. Three of them were to be heard in many concerts with other line-ups over the next 15 years. But the original recordings on this LP were and remain the most intense, the most varied and simply the best. Especially since the label always attached importance to good studio conditions and provided the musicians with time en masse.
So "The Clown" can be enjoyed in a new release from the first note of "Haitian Fight Song" to "William Morris Sends Regrets" in the title track.
Recording: February and March 1957 in New York City by Tom Dowd and Larry Hiller in Mono
Production: Nesuhi Ertegün

Janet Yellen: The Sixteen Trillion Dollar Woman
In her first and only interview as Fed chief, the economist says why she thinks the housing market is back on track, companies will invest, and more new jobs are on the way this year. She now has the world's largest economy in her hands

In her first and only interview since being confirmed as Federal Reserve Chair, Janet Yellen speaks in-depth to TIME about her outlook on the U.S. economy, the future of the Fed's controversial Quantitative Easing program, as well as what role she thinks the Fed should take in oversight, inequality and unemployment in America.
Yellen on the American economy: "I think we'll see stronger growth this year. Most of my colleagues on the Fed's policymaking committee and I are hopeful that the first digit [of GDP growth] could be 3 rather than 2... The recovery has been frustratingly slow, but were making progress in getting people back to work, and I anticipate that inflation will move back toward our longer-run goal of 2 percent." On the housing market, which had a brief lull this fall: "I expect it to pick back up and I do expect a further recovery."
On the Fed's QE program: "You know, a lot of people say, this [asset buying] is just helping rich people. But it's not true. Our policy is aimed at holding down long-term interest rates, which supports the recovery by encouraging spending. And part of the [economic stimulus] comes through higher house and stock prices, which causes people with homes and stocks to spend more, which causes jobs to be created throughout the economy and income to go up throughout the economy."
On banking reform: "I think Dodd-Frank is good roadmap and lays out most of the steps that are necessary. But we may also need to take some further steps that have not been taken yet."

Kościół św. Franciszka Salezego – zabytkowy kościół rzymskokatolicki i klasztor wizytek, znajdujący się na rogu ul. Krowoderskiej 16 i placu Biskupiego w Krakowie.

Budowę rozpoczęto w 1692, po tym, jak biskup krakowski Jan Małachowski sprowadził do Krakowa zakon wizytek w 1681. W roku 1695 budowę na podstawie planów Jana Solariego zakończono. Kościół odnawiał w latach 1875–1876 Tomasz Pryliński.

Fasada kościoła jest bezwieżowa i zwieńczona trójkątnym szczytem. Nawa nakryta sklepieniem kolebkowym na gurtach.

Do dziś zachowało się bogate barokowe wnętrze z malowidłami ukazującymi sceny z życia św. Franciszka Salezego i Joanny de Chantal (założycielki Wizytek), a w skarbcu także wiele tkanin i szat liturgicznych z XVIII wieku. W kościele znajduje się cudowny obraz Matki Boskiej Nieustającej Pomocy koronowany koronami papieskimi w 1929. Tutaj święcenia kapłańskie przyjął późniejszy prymas Polski August Hlond. W ogrodzie ponadto znajdują się barokowe kaplice, m.in. drewniana kaplica z Kalwarią. Na ścianie klasztoru znajduje się zegar słoneczny, na którym widnieje napis Życie sen krótki.

W kościele pochowano serce Stanisława Małachowskiego – wojewody poznańskiego, będącego bratankiem fundatora.

Od 1976 do śmierci rezydentem w kościele był znany duszpasterz, ks. Mieczysław Maliński.

18 lutego 1995 roku w kościele ślub wzięli przyszły prezydent RP Andrzej Duda i Agata Kornhauser-Duda.

"Wings of Tomorrow is one of our most liked albums and we are very exited to perform it Live together with some new songs and the hits! This band has never done anything like this before and this will most likely be a once in a lifetime event. Wings of Tomorrow opened the doors to the world for us. We got our record deal with CBS epic in New York based on this record. We have often been approached by both rock and metal bands who have claimed that this record really inspired and influenced them.

Appreciating Principals in Hard Times →
Relationships, Safety, and Learning
Posted on May 10, 2011 by Chris Perrius
It shouldn't be surprising that safety in a school depends more on relationships and achievement than on the poverty and crime of the surrounding neighborhood. A school can be an island of safety, learning, and opportunity. More evidence for this is in a new report that analyzes survey, achievement, and safety data for hundreds of Chicago schools.
"It's really all about whether students feel like they can trust their teachers, and parents feel teachers are partners in their child's education. That's by far the most important factor in school safety."
Principal Zipporah K. Hightower attributes the change to a school-wide focus on staff getting to know all the students. "We're watching on a day-to-day basis: If a child's walking in with an expression on his face like they might have a bad day, we pull that child aside immediately," Ms. Hightower said. "If a child doesn't have someone to talk to, they will carry [those problems] into the classroom."
The quotes are from the Ed Week article on the study and the study can be found at the Consortium on Chicago School Research. The principal quoted above and others are heroes who are changing the lives of their students.
This however is not to say that if a school attains a level of safety, then a violent neighborhood is no longer a social injustice that needs to be addressed. Sometimes a school succeeds in becoming an island of safety, but the surrounding neighborhood continues to be unsafe and enrollment declines because more and more families are leaving. Those that leave tend to be disproportionately higher performing students, they have more family supports, resulting in an increasing concentration of low-performing students in the school and greater challenges than ever. It's too much to expect schools to do it alone.
Students will also continue to be stressed out from the anxiety of a living in a neighborhood where violence is common. There are many studies that show that many urban students of color suffer stress from neighborhood violence that affects their health, and may directly affect academic performance as well, as in the 2010 study quoted here:
Objective assessments of neighborhood environment and students' self-reported school and neighborhood safety were both strongly associated with academic performance. Increasing neighborhood violence was associated with statistically significant decreases from 4.2%-8.7% in math and reading achievement; increasing perceived safety was associated with significant increases in achievement from 16%-22%.
Last year, two dedicated principals in Oakland who we have worked with for years responded to increasing violence around their school by walking through the neighborhood, identifying trouble spots, and writing to families, businesses, and the police asking for specific help. Their letter was printed in the Oakland Tribune, and the police and city responded quickly. It provides a full sense of the scope of the challenges they face and how to address them systematically. Here is the complete letter below:
Dear Friend & Supporter,
You have played an important role in making ACORN Woodland/EnCompass Academy/CDC places where East Oakland students thrive. As school leaders, we are writing to you today to let you know that our progress is under-threat. As you may already know, last Friday, 2/5/10, at 2pm in the afternoon, a 16 year old was shot in the leg in front of the Campus at 81st Avenue/Rudsdale. This shooting occurred just 1 hour before dismissal of the 580 PreK-5 students that attend school at our shared campus. While we are grateful that no student from our campuses was hurt, our hearts go out to the family of the teenage victim.
What you may not know is that this shooting is the third that has taken place directly in front of our campus in the past three months. Last month, young men running down Rudsdale were fired upon at 1pm in the afternoon while school was in session. We found bullet casings inside the school grounds. In December, shots were fired during our lunch recess at 12:30pm, spurring a lock down throughout the campus. On January 28, staff cars in our parking lot were vandalized.
This steep escalation in violence at our campus indicates an unacceptable level of risk and vulnerability in our school community. After nearly 2 years with no gun violence during school hours, we have been faced with 3 incidents of gun violence in just 3 months. We know that the latest shooting was an issue between rival gang members. As leaders who are deeply invested in the educational and life success of our students, we are calling on you to act now in support of safe communities.
What you can do NOW to support safety at ACORN Woodland/EnCompass/CDC:
Gang graffiti – There is gang graffiti on the play structure, interior picnic benches and ground near the basketball court.
Request: OUSD Facilities repainting
Bullet hole in A Bldg window – There is a bullet hole from the December shooting in the reading intervention room in the A Bldg facing the parking lot.
Request: OUSD Facilities repair
Gang graffiti – There is gang graffiti (BB Border Brothers) on the construction fence on 81st & Rudsdale
Request: City of Oakland and/or NBC Contractor repainting
Gang graffiti – There has been gang graffiti (BB Border Brothers) on the elevated BART posts on San Leandro Bldv. Between 85th & 89th Avenues for the past 4 weeks.
Request: BART or City of Oakland repainting
Police presence – We have seen and appreciated 1-3 patrols by Oakland police officers in cars per day on Rudsdale since the shooting.
Request: Oakland Police Department implement hourly patrols, especially in the morning drop off 8-9am and in the afternoon between 12-6pm, M-F
Drug selling & gang activity in AWE/EnCompass/CDC parking lot (evenings & weekends) – The school parking lot continues to be the site of drug selling (in parked cars) and gang activity during the weekend and evening hours. We have requested gates in the entrances to block vehicles from illegally parking on the weekends. However, OUSD Facilities offered a high perimeter fence that looked too much like a prison.
Request: OUSD Facilities install gates in entrances to parking lot & video surveillance in the parking lot
1181 79th Avenue Border Brothers Gang Gathering Location – Border Brothers are seen regularly congregating in and in front of this residential location.
Request: Follow up and investigation by Oakland Police Department
Soap Factory 77th Ave Gang location – there is an abandoned soap factory on 77th Avenue below Rudsdale. This site is covered with gang graffiti (Border Brothers) and is one of several gathering spots for gang members.
Request: Oakland Police Department investigations unit follow up & City of Oakland repainting
Intractable Drug Selling @ 79th Ave & Rudsdale – For the past 10 years, this corner (2 blocks from our shared campus) has been the site of persistent, intractable drug selling and violent crime, including assault and murder.
Request: Oakland Police Department implement patrols, investigation and prosecution
Abandoned apartment building @ 79th & Rudsdale – since foreclosure, this apartment building has become the site of drug use, squatting, and prostitution. Currently there are items dumped in front adjacent to the school site.
Request: City of Oakland hold owner accountable for maintaining property & remove dumped items
Safe Routes to School Walk Audit – There are multiple recommendations to improve traffic and pedestrian safety from AltaVista Planners (signage, painting of curbs) at our shared campus. This is in response to the death of Alana Williams who was killed while walking to school as well as to an EnCompass parent who was hit by a car in front of school this year.
Request: City of Oakland partner to support and fund these recommendations
Support education efforts for students and parents related to safety (gang prevention, self defense, etc)
Request: Donate to the Oakland Schools Foundation in the name of ACORN Woodland or EnCompass. Note "safety" on your donation and procedes will go toward parent/student safety education efforts.
Express yourself –
Request: Write to the students of our schools and tell them how you feel about violence in our community. Write to and call the folks with the power to get the short-term requests completed.
These are our initial requests and we are counting on YOUR support to ensure timely follow through. We are also working together to engage our larger community to find root causes and strategies to the issue of safety in our community and count on your support for these longer-term solutions.
Through our on-going partnership, we have achieved incredible feats at the ACORN Woodland, EnCompass and CDC school community. We, along with the students, families and staff, appreciate your continued support and shared sense of urgency as our community confronts this unprecedented challenge.

Ariana Grande's new album, Thank U, Next, has arrived, showing us a more savage and more extra version of Ari than we got on her last album, Sweetener, which only dropped just six months ago. Perhaps the best example of that is the cut, "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored," which exudes shade and savagery in the title alone. It's also the final song in the 12-track album, which could be a statement in and of itself.
Ever since Grande revealed the song title at the end of January, fans have been theorizing who the subject could be. (Some even wondered if it was about her ex, Big Sean.) Although she hasn't named names, she did explain that her boredom is legit: "man....... forreal. i'm bored bored," she tweeted after revealing the track list.
Grande also shared a music video for the track, starring Riverdale's Charles Melton and actress Ariel Yasmine, who plays an Ari lookalike.

Dave Rapoza
Dave Rapoza (1987) is an American concept and comic artist known for his work on Spider-Man and Spider-Verse covers for Marvel comics, on Magic the Gathering cards and the Clayde's Six comic for Destiny2.
Together with Dan Warren, he wrote and drew the Steve Lichman comics, a series of comical (non-)adventures of a lich king trapped in a dungeon.
Dave Rapoza grew up in Carver, Massachusetts (US), and - in lieu of a formal art education he could apply to - learned the trade through self-study.
After high school, his career as an artist was off to a bumpy start. A grand larceny charge against him for the online sales of stolen goods was dropped at the final moment, inspiring Rapoza to use the 'time not spent in prison' to self-study, emulating his art peers online.
"My story is more lame than anything else", Rapoza said in interviews. "It is not a story about hardship, it is me being stupid and then not be stupid. Nothing would have happened for me if I didn't get the kick in the butt."
This moment would be defining, with Rapoza applying himself, finding peerage online to foster self-development, and honesty in self-reflection. A few years into a career of paid commissions, he suddenly withdrew from (concept) painting to work on his drawing skills.
"I ran into these (technical) problems over and over again. You always hit the same wall. If you don't recognize the problem, and if you are not willing to do the heavy lifting, the fundamental stuff, you deny yourself something great."

This past weekend I decided to go for it and buy my first ice cream maker. I had been eyeing up the Cuisinart 2 QT one for several weeks and gave up any resistance this past Sunday.
I have never been a huge ice cream fan because I tend not to like the flavors of store-bought varieties. There is some odd after-taste I pick up on right away; almost plastic undertones. I figured homemade is always best so why not try making homemade ice cream and seeing if the same holds true for a creamy frozen treat. It does ! Homemade is BETTER!
First off, get your hands on an ice cream maker. I reviewed several models before deciding on the stainless steel Cuisinart 2 QT one. It is sturdy, easy to work with and does the job well.
I also went out the same day and bought some new dessert bowls.
I love ice cream served in pretty containers far more than any scoop wedged into a cone.
I bought these adorable bowls at Pier 1.
Now back to the ice cream! This recipe requires quite a bit of cooking before the custard can be poured into the machine, processed for 25 minutes, then frozen for 2-3 hrs before eating.
The time spent cooking the custard though is worth every moment. The end result is a rich, deep and flavorful chocolate ice cream that no store-bought brand can beat.
Here is the soft ice cream which I scraped into a freezer container. This now goes into the freezer for several hours and then it is ready to scoop out and eat !
An ice cream maker ! The inner cylinder should be frozen and ready for use but do not take it out of the freezer yet.
IN LARGE SAUCEPAN, combine milk and cream over MED-LOW heat.
SIMMER for 1/2 hr whisking occasionally.
USING a rubber spatula, scrape ice cream into an airtight container suitable for freezing.
Eat as-is or dress it up - Super topped with whipped cream, caramel sauce, nuts and a cherry!
Beautiful and I am with you on the weird store-bought taste. Homemade ice cream is a whole other entity!
Wow.....that ice cream looks awesome. I am visiting from Foodie Friday and now I want to run out and get some ice cream!!
I have 2 of them - the family loves when I go on an ice cream making marathon. Great model, and I love the 2qt capacity.
I think next will be Strawberry !
Both the ice cream and the bowls look terrific! I'm afraid of buying an ice cream maker - I don't want it to become a weekly treat!
I have the exact same ice cream maker and I am so excited to pull it out again. I'd say it's about that time! Your ice cream looks great - Thanks for linking up with Fat Camp Friday @ Mangoes and Chutney, see you again next time!
I am so in love with homemade ice cream. Now I have a huge craving for it!
Thanks for linking up with Sweet Tooth Friday. I've Stumbled your delicious recipe as well.

Aubrey Beardsley's musical afterlife
Dilettantes by You Am I (2008). Illustration and design by Ken Taylor.
Dilettantes is the eighth studio album from Australian band You Am I which is released this week sporting a very creditable Beardsley pastiche by illustrator Ken Taylor. Sleevage has more details about the creation of the CD package, including preliminary sketches. Those familiar with Beardsley's work may see in the cover drawing references to The Peacock Skirt and the colour print of Isolde. I like the way Beardsley's peacock has been exchanged for a more suitably antipodean lyrebird. This isn't Beardsley's only influence in the musical world, of course. A few more examples follow.
left: The Peacock Skirt from Salomé (1894); right: Isolde (1895).
Revolver cover by Klaus Voorman (1966).
The over-familiarity of Klaus Voorman's collage/drawing for the cover of Revolver by The Beatles tends to obscure its Beardsley influence but that influence is certainly present in the stylised faces, the figure details and the rendering of the hair. The Beatles themselves were enthused enough with Aubrey to put his face among the pantheon of "people that we like" on the sleeve of Sgt. Pepper a year later. I'd thought for a while that Voorman might have been inspired by the landmark Beardsley exhibition which ran at the V&A in London from May–September 1966. Some correspondence with Raymond Newman, author of Abracadabra, a book about the album, disabused me of that when Raymond confirmed that Voorman in 1966 had already been a Beardsley enthusiast for a number of years.
As well as being possibly the first Beardsleyesque album cover, I wonder whether this was also the first major album release to drop the name of the artist from the front of the sleeve.
Everyone went psychedelic in 1967, even tough mods like The Who. This Hapshash and the Coloured Coat promo poster for I Can See For Miles (incidentally my favourite Who song) is one of Hapshash's more overt Beardsley borrowings. The sun (or moon) in the background is a variation on Beardsley's The Woman in the Moon from Salomé (the face is Oscar Wilde's) while Pete Townshend's florid sorcerer's cloak owes much to Aubrey's incredible cover design (blocked in gold on the book) for Volpone.
The Woman in the Moon (1894).
Volpone (1897).
From the sublime to the ridiculous. Cathy Berberian was the mezzo-soprano wife of avant garde composer Luciano Berio, with a long career as a singer of serious classical and contemporary classical works. Her rendition of Berio's Thema (Omaggio a Joyce)–an electroacoustic setting of the "Sirens" prelude from Ulysses–was one of the tracks on the 1967 electroacoustic compilation Electronic Music III discussed here in April. She also had a separate career as an operatic interpreter of pop music and this collection of Beatles songs dates either from 1968 or 69, depending on which source you choose to believe. Whatever the year, the designer pulled off a decent enough copy of the Revolver sleeve. For a taste of the Berberian style, there's a sample here. And if you're desperate for the entire album, this page has a copy.
I'm sure this doesn't exhaust the Beardsley influence in sleeve design, there must be others between 1968 and 2008. Once again, if you know of any further examples, please leave a comment.
Humble Pie by Humble Pie (1970).
Update: Added Humble Pie's self-titled third album. The illustration this time is Beardsley's own, The Stomach Dance from Salomé.
Dreams by Gabor Szabo (1968). Design by David Stahlberg.
Update 2: Therese discovered this great sleeve for an album by the Hungarian jazz guitarist. Closer in style to John Austen's illustrations for Hamlet 1922) but Austen's use of black-and-white at the time was very influenced by Beardsley's work.
Witchcraft by Witchcraft (2004).
Update 3: Another addition, the debut album from Swedish metal band Witchcraft which uses Beardsley's Merlin vignette from the Morte Darthur. Thanks to Cyphane for the tip.
Molly Moonbeam by Coach Fingers (2007).
Ballade Of Tristram's Last Harping by The 17th Pygmy (aka 17 Pygmies) (2007).
Update 4: Added a couple of new discoveries. The 17th Pygmy album apparently includes further Beardsley pieces in its booklet while the Coach Fingers single also has a label featuring designs by Beardsley's contemporary, Sidney Sime.
La Beale Isoud at Joyous Gard. (1894).
Come Hell Or High Water by The Flowers of Hell (2009).
Update 5: Added the Flowers of Hell cover which is based on La Beale Isoud at Joyous Gard. from Le Morte Darthur. The band also has a video which works variations on the same picture.
Procol Harum by Procol Harum (1967).
Update 6: Another one I'd missed, Procol Harum's debut album doesn't have a credit for the cover art which is perhaps just as well since it doesn't stand comparison with some of the works above. The same artwork appeared on later reissues when the album was re-titled A Whiter Shade of Pale.

The post are great, I also like some of the music the illustrations are fantastic they look like some of the gods of Chinese. Thank you for posting this in your blog. I also love the titles they're different.

I found this picture as I was looking for something else, and immediately thought of this blog post… so, an addition to the Beardsley cover-collection:

Thanks Therese, that's a great find! Reminds me also of some of Harry Clarke's drawings.

The band WITCHCRAFT, on their self-titled CD, also used a Beardsley illustration: Merlin.
Hi Cyphane, and thanks, added that one to the list.
No problem! I love Aubrey Beardsley, and want to get his illustrations in book form. Is there a book you can recommend that is good, or one that has his complete works?
Cheers & Beers!
Beardsley books are legion so that's a difficult question.
Most complete one is still the Brian Reade monograph from 1967, a massive hardback with very detailed analysis of nearly ever drawing the artist created.
Also good but also out of print (although available secondhand) is The Collected Drawings of Aubrey Beardsley by Bruce Harris. That includes the "obscene" illustrations for Lysistrata and also the Beardsley fakes which turned up in the 1920s and which are rarely seen complete anywhere.
Meanwhile, Dover Publications have had several Beardsley collections in print for years, including Salomé and selected drawings from the Morte D'Arthur. They also produce a Best of… although I've not seen this so I don't know how authoritative it is. However, it's cheap and in print so is probably the best place to start.

Beardsley's musical afterlife indeed – our last album cover was an adaptation we did of one of Beardsley L'Morte D'Arthur illustrations…looks particularly great on the 12 inch vinyl of the record. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B001VJ1AOY/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=163856011&s=dmusic
Oh and here's a link to a Beardsley inspired animated video for one of the tracks of that album http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6D5BZ4ITC8U
