Giving undergraduates some real laboratory experience
Lucy Hersey is - in her words - "an average third year science student" at Monash University. However, 2013 has been anything but average.
Lucy has spent her final year working with the Rosenthal Group at the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (ARMI), where she has gained invaluable laboratory skills and experience, and developed a thirst for research.
With her supervisors Professor Nadia Rosenthal and Dr Alex Pinto, Lucy has been investigating the role of macrophages in the heart and whether this particular type of white blood cell has a role in encouraging stem cells to form new blood vessels. The research findings will reveal more about how the heart develops, and also how it could be repaired following injury.
"It has been an incredible year for me", Lucy says. "I would never have imagined the things I would get to watch and take part in. It has been such a valuable opportunity and I feel so much better equipped for my future studies and a career in scientific research".
As the end of the year approaches, Lucy remains keen to continue with this interesting research and is exploring doing her Honours with the Rosenthal Group in 2014.
Stem Cells Australia has provided the funding for Lucy's employment through a program initiated by the Bio21 Cluster known as Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program or UROP. The program funds high achieving students with an interest in medical research to join labs and complete short projects, giving them the opportunity to experience "real life" as scientists.

One of the oldies wineries in the Czech Republic with history dating back to the 13th century when it is first mentioned as the Knights Templar settled in the wine village Cejkovice and established a winery there, building a large and elaborate wine cellar where the winery still has its seat.
The modern and recent winery history starts in 1936 when a cooperative was established producing its wine in the old Templar cellars up until now. As a cooperative "Templarske" is rather a larger winery with annual production reaching 4 million litres of wine. Most of the wine is white and it accounts for half of the annual production.
The wines are produced in several unique brands each closely connected with the culture and history of Knights Templar and the ancient Templar cross and the order symbol has been embodied in the company logo and is proudly presented by the winery up until these days.

Consul General's Commendation for Tohoku Outreach Efforts
2017-06-22 2017-11-24 adminArchive
On June 7th, 2017, the 9/11 Tribute Center received the Consul General's Commendation from Ambassador Reiichiro Takahashi, the Consul General of Japan in New York, for its ongoing 9/11 to 3/11 Tohoku outreach efforts with JMSA.
JMSA has been the core organizer of the 9/11 to 3/11 Tohoku outreach project and it has been generously supported by American Airlines, Arnhold Institute for Global Health at Mount Sinai, Japan Society, Rotary International, and the United States-Japan Foundation.
We will be leading our sixth 9/11 to 3/11 Tohoku outreach mission next month, from July 2nd to July 8th, 2017. Although it has now been more than six years since the 3/11 Japan Earthquake, an estimated 123,000 evacuees continue to suffer the consequences of this devastating event. Children and school communities, in particular, have been especially vulnerable. This year, we wish to empower these school communities by showing concrete examples of resilience and promoting self-motivation toward recovery. Please read more about our outreach mission and planned events below.
Previously, this project has been featured at Asia Society as 3-11 and 9-11 Survivor Stories at the Asia Society in New York, 3/2016: http://asiasociety.org/new-york/events/3-11-and-9-11-survivor-stories
This project has also been selected among "Innovative Disaster Responses: Model Approaches from Japan's 3/11 Disaster" by Japan Center for International Exchange: http://www.jcie.or.jp/books/abstracts/I/innovative311.html

Bipedalism evolved multiple times in animals, and can be found in extant birds (Ratites), mammals (humans, kangaroos, apes), and even in some lizards. Bipedal locomotion is regarded as a relatively complicated form of legged locomotion, compared to quadrupedalism, where a heavy, horizontal trunk and a second pair of legs simplifies static stability and locomotion substrate interaction. It is therefore exceptional to see so many diverse body plans achieving the bipedal locomotion task. We are researching a range of bipedal body morphologies, their corresponding locomotion control, and the effect of sensing modalities in bipedal hardware and simulated robots. We also collaborate with experts in functional Biology and neuromuscular control in animals, to directly compare our insights to living animals.
Impact of trunk orientation for dynamic bipedal locomotion My research revolves around investigating the functional demands of bipedal running, with focus on stabilizing trunk orientation. When we think about postural stability, there are two critical questions we need to answer: What are the necessary and sufficient conditions to achieve and maintain trunk stability? I am concentrating on how morphology affects control strategies in achieving trunk stability. In particular, I denote the trunk pitch as the predominant morphology parameter and explore the requirements it imposes on a chosen control strategy. To analyze this, I use a spring loaded inverted pendulum model extended with a rigid trunk, which is actuated by a hip motor. The challenge for the controller design here is to have a single hip actuator to achieve two coupled tasks of moving the legs to generate motion and stabilizing the trunk. I enforce orthograde and pronograde postures and aim to identify the effect of these trunk orientations on the hip torque and ground reaction profiles for different control strategies.

A common approach in designing legged robots is to build fully actuated machines and control the machine dynamics entirely in soft- ware, carefully avoiding impacts and expending a lot of energy. However, these machines are outperformed by their human and animal counterparts. Animals achieve their impressive agility, efficiency, and robustness through a close integration of passive dynamics, implemented through mechanical components, and neural control. Robots can benefit from this same integrated approach, but a strong theoretical framework is required to design the passive dynamics of a machine and exploit them for control. For this framework, we use a bipedal spring–mass model, which has been shown to approximate the dynamics of human locomotion. This paper reports the first implementation of spring–mass walking on a bipedal robot. We present the use of template dynamics as a control objective exploiting the engineered passive spring–mass dynamics of the ATRIAS robot. The results highlight the benefits of combining passive dynamics with dynamics-based control and open up a library of spring–mass model-based control strategies for dynamic gait control of robots.

Stormzy@Glastonbury 2019
June 29, 2019 — Leave a comment
UK grime rap music saw history being made today as British grime rap artist, Stormzy, made his headline debut on Glastonbury's headlining slot tonight. The night was getting dark, the stage was a awash the incredible lighting effects in preparation for what was about to happen. Stormzy at last made his much anticipated debut on the main stage. Every potential headliners dream and for him it certainly was. He opened his set with Know Me From, even donning a union-jack bullet-proof vest (nice touch, I think). Fists were in the air, adrenaline was rising and anticipation was going sky-high. Stormzy churned his way through is set which by all accounts was absolutely epic to say the least. The first four songs of his set were solo, no-one on the stage but him though between Mr Skeng and Cigarettes & Cush the crowds were treated to a fluidic set by a ballet dancing duo. You don't see that every year at Glastonbury, at least not on the pyramid stage anyway. By this point the blood, seat and tears were simply oozing as Stormzy continued his way through his set performing fresh songs such as Cold, Crown, Bad Boys, Shut Up. During his set he was joined by Chris Martin from Coldplay to perform Blinded By Your Grace pt 1. Part 2 was done later on with gospel backing. Whilst performing he even did a cover version of 00's hit Sweet Like Chocolate. The crowds just couldn't get enough, it it liked Stormzy couldn't either. In keeping with the charts he was joined by other rappers to perform Funky Friday which made history by becoming the first British rap song to top the UK charts. Like all musical greats he ended his set on his epic track, Big For Your Boots. Towards the end of his set he paid tribute to several other grime/rap artists who helped pave the way for him and many others waiting in the wings such as Ms Banks. All I can say is that today/tonight musical history was made by having the first-ever British rap artist headline Glastonbury. TRULY EPIC!!!!!
Also performing today were Two Door Cinema Club who performed all their hits including Satellite and George Ezra who wowed huge crowds with his hits including Shotgun and Paradise.

Radio 1 Big Weekend in Hull: the highlights
Radio 1's Big Weekend has enjoyed another great weekend up north in the City of Hull, which is also currently enjoying it's year as the City of Culture. So far this years' highlights including Rag 'n' Bone Man, Lorde, Zara Larsson, Stormzy, Shawn Mendes, Emeli Sande', Little Mix,. putting on some amazing performances throughout the whole of the festival. During Emeli Sande' performance there was a red heart in the background with MANCHESTER written on it as she dedicated one of her songs Highs & Lows to the victims of the recent Manchester terrorist attack on the 22/5/17. French artist Christine & The Queens did an amazing performance of her hit single Tilted during which the crowd sang with her. She even had dancers on the stage with her, seriously she is something of an incredible artist. Former X-Factor singer James Arthur played to the crowds with his song Say You Won't Let Go, which sounds a lot like The Scripts The Man Who Can't Be Moved. Wonder if they've heard it. Kasabian played their new hit You're In Love With A Psycho with Tom and Sergio dressed in weird but interesting gear. Clean Bandit played before the crowd whilst making good use of a cello. Katy Perry stole the show as the headlining act. She did dedicate her first song to the victims of the Manchester bombings. That song was Part Of Me which seemed very appropriate for the mood and gave new meaning to the lyrics 'This is the part of me that you're never gonna ever take away from me. Indeed a fitting tribute. 🙂

Q: Exploiting technique POP RET doesn't work I've a virtual machine with Windows XP Professional SP3 x86 Spanish, and I've disabled DEP.
Well, I was executing the exploit POPPOPRET_JMPESP.pl for "Easy RM to MP3 Converter" (yes, the program of the tutorial Corelan), and didn't work, so I've done 2 tests:
The first, and successful, replacing the JMP ESP that jumps to the beginning of the shellcode, for "CCCC" (\x43\x43\x43\x43), and produce error trying to execute this direction.
Source
Screenshot
And the second, putting to the JMP ESP a valid direction and a shellcode that are many breakpoints. Here an error is produced due to the direction that the program has tried to execute, and JMP ESP NO points ONLY to the breakpoints put.
Source
Screenshot
The original stack is:

Buffer will be filled with As

RET ADDRESSS will be substituted with the direction of a POP POP RET

4 bytes of junk will be substituted for "XXXX"

Here points ESP before it's executed the POP POP RET instructions, and
 it will be substituted with 4 NOPs

4 bytes of junk that it will be sustituted with 4 NOPs

4 bytes of junk where ESP will point after, and
 will be substited for a JMP ESP, and that will take of the stack
 the RET instruction we have put

Here is the beginning of the shellcode and is where will
 points the JMP ESP when be executed

A: Are you correctly getting to your shellcode?
If yes, check your shellcode for any weird characters. That particular program will stop copying input at NULL characters (0x00) as well as a couple others. The easiest way to do this is find the last character in your shellcode that was copied correctly and excluding the one after that. You can use metasploit to generate shellcode excluding specific characters.
If no, check your offsets and padding.

One thing that struck me about Chloe and Felipe early on was that they NEVER stop smiling. Seriously - it's exciting on the morning of your wedding day, but they didn't display any nerves, and were enjoying the company of friends and making everyone feel very welcome.
The ceremony was at the art deco Wandsworth Town Hall. Beautiful early 20th century windows and panelling allow's lots of natural light to pour in, with plenty of room for guests and rampaging young children. Chloe arrived looking stunning in a very elegant number, and joined dapper Felipe in entering the ceremony together, to the whoops and cheers of their friends and family.
For the meal we jumped on the open top bus, and drove over to Brixton East. This large, stunning venue is tucked away beyond the indoor food markets, which a long elegant but modern dining room, and a huge open dance floor upstairs. A delicious Mediterranean meal followed, succeeded by cake and chocolates made by a master chocolatier from Brazil who has a royal warrant! At the groom's stipulation, I took a few away... So. Good. Revived and fed, everyone partied into the night, played along by a local based Samba band getting the party rocking. Hurrah!


Occupy Central deliberately ignores overwhelming public demands to end protests, resorts to clashes with police, violence.
Fully qualifying claims that the so-called "Occupy Central" or "Occupy Hong Kong" movement is little more than US-backed political subversion dressed as "pro-democracy," mobs remained in the streets, creating chaos as police worked to reopen streets and return order to downtown Hong Kong. A recent poll carried out by one of the movement's own collaborators – the Public Opinion Programme (HKU POP) of the University of Hong Kong – revealed over 80% wanted the protests brought to an end with over 60% advocating police action to clear the streets if necessary.
In direct defiance not of the government in Beijing, but the will of Hong Kong's people themselves the "Occupy" movement claims to represent, protesters have vowed to continue disrupting order and remain in the streets as long as possible. The Western media and Western corporate-funded foundations remain the movement's only significant advocates.
The Epoch Times would report that protesters began breaking down into smaller groups to evade police, throwing objects at officers and clashing with them, then darting in and out of businesses and roads to escape arrest.
Occupy Central's troubles began almost with the protests themselves as the questionable nature of the movement's leadership and its funding was fully exposed as emanating from the US State Department and channeled to various organizations involved in the movement by notoriously corrupt media tycoon Jimmy Lai.
The opacity of the movement's funding and its leadership's connections with the US State Department revealed what was supposed to be a "pro-democracy" movement as nothing more than a bid to extort from Beijing through the use of street mobs the parting demands made to the Chinese government regarding the administration of Hong Kong by the British Empire.
Aspirations for "democracy," or the ability for Hong Kong to nominate and vote for its own politicians is in all actuality a bid for what remains of pro-Wall Street and London political movements in Hong Kong to carve out a foothold in the region and use Hong Kong as a springboard to create greater division across Chinese society. In other words, to create a neo-imperial colony for the West to use once again to influence mainland China.
However, the degree to which the "Occupy Central" has been exposed as a foreign-backed political destabilization is so complete that there is little likelihood that such a destabilization will be possible in Hong Kong, or anywhere else inside of China well into the foreseeable future.
Leaders including Benny Tai and Joshua Wong have all been linked to US State Department funded organizations, projects, and campaigns. "Occupy Central" leaders including Martin Lee and Anson Chan literally were in Washington D.C. earlier this year lobbying for US support in front of the very organizations funding the political activity of virtually every prominent "Occupy Central" leader. Even HKU POP has been implicated in "dirty money" used to qualify an ad hoc referendum carried out by "Occupy Central" ahead of the recent protests.
The decision to remain in the streets and create as much chaos as possible despite the desires of the local population for the protests to end clearly illustrates the true, self-serving nature of the protests and their purpose of creating chaos, not facilitating progress for Hong Kong or greater China.
Resorting to clashes and violence perpetrated against police is designed to trigger injuries or fatalities designed to justify further disorder and chaos. Hong Kong, like many other cities and nations targeted by Wall Street and London for destabilization is being led down a dangerous path toward costly division and conflict. The residents, police, and government of Hong Kong must exercise extreme caution and patience to deny the US-backed movement any opportunity to capitalize on the chaos it is now attempting to create.

Robin Williams career
Williams' musical career began in 1990 after his mother forced him to go to a 'Take That' audition as a new boy band. He was chosen, and his music career quickly advanced. Through his work with "Take That," he received widespread acclaim as a vocalist and dancer. He was a member of the group for five years.
He released the cover of "Freedom" by George Michael as a single in 1996. In the UK singles chart, the song reached number two.
In September 1997, he published his debut album, "Life Through A Lens." The album became a best-seller in the UK after the BPI awarded the single "Angels" its platinum certification.
After the release of his album "Escapology" in 2002, he officially severed ties with his longtime partner Guy Chambers. In 2005, he worked with British singer Stephen Duffy to release the album "Intensive Care" and create compilations that reached the top of the charts in 18 different nations.
In 2006, he released his solo album "Rudebox," which was certified double platinum. For his subsequent album, "Reality Killed the Video Star," which was released in 2009, he once more worked with Guy Chambers. He collaborated with his previous band "Take That" in the same year, which sparked speculation of a potential reunion.
Robin Williams net worth
Robbie Williams' estimated net worth as of December 2022 is $300 Million.
Robin Williams wife and kids
Following a live-in relationship with comedian Elayne Boosler, Williams married Valerie Velardi, his first wife, in June 1978.
In 1976, Velardi and Williams connected through a San Francisco club where he was a bartender. Zachary Pym "Zak" Williams, their son, was born in 1983.
In 1988, Velardi and Williams got divorced.
Although it was claimed that Williams started an affair with Marsha Garces, Zachary's nanny, in 1986, Velardi claimed in the 2018 film Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind that the two had already split up by the time the relationship with Garces started.
Williams married Garces on April 30, 1989, while she was six months pregnant with their child. Zelda Rae Williams (born in 1989) and Cody Alan Williams were their two children (born 1991). Garces and Williams filed for divorce in March 2008, claiming their irreconcilable differences.
In 2010, their divorce was finalized.
On October 22, 2011, in St. Helena, California, Williams wed graphic designer Susan Schneider, who would become his third wife.
The two shared a home in the Sea Cliff neighborhood of San Francisco, California.
Robin Willaims cause of death
On August 11, 2014, Williams' body was discovered at his Paradise Cay, California, residence.
Williams died by suicide from "asphyxia related to hanging," according to the final autopsy report, which was published in November 2014.
There was no use of alcohol or illicit substances, and any prescription medications that were in his system were at therapeutic doses. Williams was diagnosed with anxiety and depression, according to the article.
Williams was diagnosed with "diffuse Lewy body dementia" after a brain biopsy.


Carman, 23, has spent the past two years preparing for a career in the classroom through the University of Chicago's Urban Teacher Education Program (UTEP). The Rochester, N.Y. native will complete the program tomorrow, on July 1st.
Carman could have taken a shorter route to the classroom by doing Teach For America (TFA) or a similar alternative-preparation program, but he wanted more extensive training before embarking on a job he hopes to do for a long time—if not a lifetime.
Duncan and President Barack Obama share a sense of urgency that the United States must do much more to ensure that every student is taught by a highly effective teacher.
UTEP began in 2003, first to prepare University of Chicago undergraduates for careers as elementary-school teachers. The program is now open to graduates of other institutions, and it prepares not just elementary teachers but also secondary teachers of mathematics and biology. This past year, there were 38 UTEP students, although the hope is to expand to about 55 slots soon. There's also talk of one day enlarging the secondary program to include other subjects like chemistry, physics, English and history. The competitive admissions process includes a panel interview and a school visit, during which prospective students are asked to observe classes and then reflect on their observations in a group discussion.
The program takes two years to complete, though the first year is billed as part-time. University of Chicago undergraduates can begin the program in their senior year. UTEP graduates receive a Master of Arts in Teaching and state certification in either grades K-9 or grades 6-12.
To make becoming a teacher more financially feasible, UTEP offers its students a $20,000 stipend in their second year, and aspiring secondary teachers qualify for an additional $10,000 through the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, which is run through the National Science Foundation. UTEP students are also eligible for federal Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) grants of up to $4,000 annually.
In the second year, teacher-interns continue with coursework, while also completing two half-year stints in a neighborhood public school and in one of the four charter schools run by the University of Chicago.
For his first clinical experience, Carman was assigned to a fifth-grade class at Donoghue Charter School on Chicago's South Side last fall. His two mentors at the school regularly observed him and offered feedback on both lesson plans and actual lessons. Carman was also formally observed twice a semester by Bill Kennedy, a former New York City teacher who oversees the work of mentors and who coaches UTEP graduates in their first three years of teaching. Such ongoing professional support—in the form of teacher leadership training, professional-development workshops and in-classroom coaching—is a critical component of UTEP and other residency programs.
In his second clinical experience, which ran from January until May 2011, Carman taught math and language arts to seventh-graders at Rachel Carson Elementary School, where more than 90 percent of students are Latino and 99 percent are low-income.
Starting in September, Carman will be teaching sixth grade at Chicago Quest, a new charter school that will open its doors to sixth- and seventh-graders this fall. It will eventually serve students in grades 6-12, just like its sister school in New York City, Quest to Learn, which opened to sixth-graders two years ago. Both schools capitalize on digital media and technology, as well as children's innate interest in games. "Mission critical at Quest is a translation of the underlying form of games into a powerful pedagogical model for its 6-12th graders," the Quest to Learn website reads.
Two other UTEP students, Audrey Edwards and Danielle Haney, interned at the University of Chicago's North Kenwood/Oakland Charter School. Both say the feedback they got from mentors—and from watching themselves on videotape—was essential to their preparation, and both believe UTEP's emphasis on self-reflection is important.
The federal government's investment has led to the creation of teacher-residency programs around the country. Montclair State University in New Jersey, in partnership with the Newark Public Schools, started two urban-residency programs in 2010. A 12-month program is geared toward those wishing to teach secondary math or science, and it comes with a $26,000 stipend. An 18-month program prepares early-childhood and elementary teachers—who also earn special-education credentials—and those who enroll receive a $39,000 stipend. Additionally, in exchange for a three-year commitment to teach in Newark schools after graduation, Montclair State charges no tuition or fees for these programs. Graduates earn a master's degree and state certification.
Teachers College, Columbia University, in New York City is home to another new teacher-residency program. A. Lin Goodwin, its director, says programs like hers give aspiring teachers "support and space to be learners of teaching—to be deeply engaged with students at the same time that they are deeply engaged as students." Such a structure helps ensure that "neophyte teachers are learning from children, not on them," Goodwin says, which is a key difference she sees between teacher-residency programs and alternate pathways like TFA.
Recent graduate Jenny Field, 46, settled on the Teachers College program because it emphasized support, collaboration and a "gradual integration into the classroom," not immediate immersion.

Diamondbacks to start Archie Bradley Sunday against Nationals

A former D-backs starter is getting the nod on Sunday.
With the back end of the starting rotation battling injury, the Arizona Diamondbacks are giving Archie Bradley the start in the series finale against the Nationals.
The decision was announced following the team's 10-3 win over Washington on Saturday afternoon.
"We feel like he's been throwing the ball really well," manager Torey Lovullo told reporters after the game. "I think he's in a different space, he's thrown the ball extremely well as of late and I've talked to him about changing roles."
Lovullo added that Bradley will be on a pitch count, though he's not sure as to what that will look like just yet.

"I'm on a pitch-to-pitch basis. I'm not looking into it, not trying to be a starter again or anything like that," Bradley said of the start. "I'm not looking ahead of it, just trying to get the first batter of the game out and go from there.
"It's starting the game, setting the tone and it starts with the first batter."
Bradley takes over in the rotation for starter Luke Weaver, who's on the 10-day IL with a right forearm strain.
In 29 games played in relief this season (31.2 innings), Bradley sports a 4.26 ERA to go along with 40 strikeouts and 17 walks. He's 2-3 on the year.
"It'll be fun," shortstop Nick Ahmed told reporters. "I don't know how long he'll throw, maybe two innings or so, but it'll be fun."
The last time Bradley started a game was back in 2016.
The pitcher finished the season going 8-9 in 26 starts (141.2 innings pitched), with a 5.02 ERA and 143 strikeouts. Bradley tied Robbie Ray for second on the team in wins that year, trailing only Zack Greinke's mark of 13.
His last game as a starter resulted in a 9-5 win over the San Diego Padres as the pitcher went 7.0 innings, allowing just seven hits and two earned runs.
The move may come as a bit of a surprise to some as former starter Zack Godley has improved as of late since being demoted to the bullpen, but there's a reason behind the decision.
"The way Zack Godley's throwing the ball, it's not fair to him to keep moving him around," Lovullo said of Godley.
Winning seven of the last nine road games, the D-backs will look to end the 10-game road trip on a high note.

Sunday March 19th, 2006 HOME
New CD's this past week:
- J. Rawls - The essence of soul
Music news headlines this week:
Gladys Knight Salutes Ella, Duke, Sammy
R&B veteran Gladys Knight will honor a host of legendary vocalists with
the release of a covers album, "Before Me." Due June 6 via Verve Records,
the set features songs originally performed by Ella Fitzgerald, Duke
Ellington, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone and Sammy Davis, Jr., among others.
Grammy-winning producers Tommy LiPuma (Natalie Cole, George Benson) and
Phil Ramone (Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles) worked behind the boards on the
album. The Clayton/Hamilton Jazz Orchestra and saxophonist David "Fathead"
Newman are among the contributing instrumentalists.
"As I was getting this music together, the title, 'Before Me,' just rang
in my head. I was impressed to make a reference to those glorious
performers that set the pace for me to be a part of this industry," says
Knight. "These people made great strides not just with their music, but
because of who they were as people."
Knight's most recent album was 2005's "One Voice" with the Saints Unified
Voices. The artist has a handful of upcoming shows on her itinerary,
including tomorrow (March 16) in Huntsville, Ala., and Saturday in
Westbury, N.Y. A six-date European tour begins June 30 in Birmingham,
Ray J Gives Up Fur After Encounter With Pamela Anderson
R&B star Ray J is still enjoying the success of his breakthrough single,
"One Wish," and the singer was celebrating at London's Kabaret nightclub
earlier this week when he had an interesting encounter with Pamela
Anderson. The former Baywatch star walked up to Ray J and took his
chinchilla fur coat right off his back. Anderson then began to explain
that People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA) investigations
have found that animals are strangled, gassed, electrocuted, and even
skinned alive for their pelts. The conversation struck a cord with Ray J
and according to a statement released by PETA, he went outside the club
and threw his fur on the ground in front of a group of paparazzi and vowed
never to wear fur again.
Ray J recently released "What I Need" as the second single and video from
his album Raydiation.
Guy, After 7, Blackstreet & Tony! Toni! Tone! On Tour Together
Popular new jack acts of the '90s --including Guy, Blackstreet, After 7,
and Tony! Toni! Tone! -- have come together to perform all their hits on
the new Body & Soul Tour this month.
Guy will feature original members Aaron and Damian Hall and producer Teddy
Riley, who is also a member and producer of Blackstreet. Guy helped usher
in the new jack swing sound with "Groove Me," "I Like," and "Let's Chill,"
while Blackstreet emerged later in the decade with "No Diggity" and "Don't
Leave."
After 7 reunites Kevon and Melvin Edmonds -- big brothers to Kenneth
"Babyface" Edmonds -- with Keith Mitchell, a cousin of former Babyface
partner L.A. Reid. The trio scored with "Can't Stop" and "Heat Of The
Moment."
Singer and producer Raphael Saadiq will front the Tony! Toni! Tone!
lineup, which also features his brother Dwayne Wiggins and cousin Timothy
Christian. The group's hits include "Anniversary," "Slow Wine," "Feels
Good," and "Lay Your Head On My Pillow."


The region's brightest and best in business are coming together for this year's Blackpool Business Expo, taking place on Wednesday 26th September at the Village Hotel, Blackpool.
The expo has continued to champion local North West businesses since it launched four years ago and its popularity has grown year on year, with many exhibitors booking time and again.
Believe in yourself. You don't need all the bells and whistles straight away, you can gradually build up. It takes years to get to where you want to be so don't expect it over night or weeks or months, it takes years of hard work and dedication. Don't quit when it gets a little bit harder or the money is really tight, to quote Winston Churchill "If you're going through hell, keep going" "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty".
The most important thing for me is to plan. Do a business plan and a marketing plan. Put things in place to show what your goals are and how you can achieve them. Break this down to weekly/monthly target and revisit your vision at least once a week. This gives focus and drive as well as accountability.
Be fully aware of why you do what you do, what is your emotionally charged connection. This will help shape your culture, your offering, your target market and equally importantly your values.
When thinking about your 'pitch' don't tell us what you do and how you do it, clearly state your name, what benefits you have to offer and who you can help, PS, it isn't everyone.
Don't let your head rule your heart – in other words – you need to have something to aim for, don't settle for mediocrity stretch yourself, set the bar high then even if you don't achieve the ultimate goal, you may well be further towards it than if you had not set the bar high!
Don't spend your money on Advertising, Market your business, know your customers and speak to them in a language they understand.
To have PRIVACY BY DESIGN at the heart of EVERYTHING you do.
It is much easier to build privacy measures into something from the word go, than to try and address them retrospectively. Startups should seriously consider what the GDPR and e-Privacy means for how businesses will need to operate moving forward.
It could give you a competitive advantage and be the difference between winning and losing contracts with suppliers which can get you up that ladder to success faster. Make the protection of personal data your number 1 priority.

Location: 213 E. Washington St.
Habitat for Humanity of Clallam County looks to expand its fundraising enterprise with a boutique set to open mid-November in downtown Sequim.
The nonprofit also is moving its Sequim office from 350 West Washington St., to 231 East Washington St., where the new boutique will open.
Colleen Robinson, executive director of Habitat or Humanity of Clallam County, said opening a store in Sequim has been a long-time coming.
While there also is a Habitat store in Port Angeles, Robinson said both stores are all part of the same business and will not be in competition with each other.
"We're one big happy family," Robinson said.
The boutique is about 1,000 square feet and will have donated furniture, home decor, household goods, jewelry and more for sale.
She describes the new Sequim store as a "vintage boutique" tentatively open from 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
All proceeds from store sales go to the nonprofit's mission of providing affordable housing in Clallam County and in Sequim supporting neighborhood revitalization.
With the opening of a new store, Robinson said Habitat also is launching an intern program that trains high school students in retail, giving them experience and skills to put on a resume.
Robinson said students can earn school credit, learn soft skills, gain knowledge in retail and funding a nonprofit, and receive a certification from Habitat at the end of their internship.
Habitat also is in the process of hiring a part-time store supervisor who will manage the store and train students, Robinson said.
Habitat must present the intern program to the Sequim School Board for approval at the next board meeting on Nov. 5, Robinson said, and the program should be open to students by the second semester of the school year in January 2019.
The boutique also will feature a "dot" program where the store will mark down an item after 30 days of it being on the floor, and if an item has been in the store for 90 days it will be sent to the Port Angeles store for new items to come in.
Donated inventory for the boutique must be taken to the Habitat store at 728 E. Front St. in Port Angeles, Robinson said; donations cannot be accepted at the Sequim store.
Habitat has a truck available to transport donated items to the store in Port Angeles and interested donors can call 360-417-7543 or email customerservice@habitatclallam.org to arrange a donation pick up.

Parents need the tools to adequately deal with those external pressures and help create a strong internal foundation for their children now and in the future.
This course empowers parents with the tools and language to deal with the expanding role that external pressure plays in their child's life. By being present and part of the conversation pertaining to potential hazards, parents are proactively prepared to deal with future issues that might arise.


Welcome to my blog, I hope you enjoy your virtual stay. I am a parent, crafter, writer, baker, sewer, quilter, urban small space gardener, knitter, PTO mom and worker. I was a green crafter before it was cool- my brother teased because I would say "Don't throw that away- I can make things from that!". (Thanks big brother for setting me up with this site.) Somethings I have done from ideas found on the web, others are modifications, and some are my own creation. I wanted a place to give back to those out there who were such an inspiration.
I hope you find some ideas to make your life brighter, more beautiful, or just more interesting.
I am delighted and totally impressed you made your own carbon needles! I was so disappointed with the Knitters Pride/Knit Pro carbons with silver tips, as the yarn often catches in the slight space at that join, which is frustrating. So finding your advice, important safety tips and step by step process documented here is truly inspiring.
Hellooo!!! Thank you first of all for giving the world your most precious gift of all…..YOUR TIME!! I am entering into the world of growing various types of peppermints. Your blog has been extremely helpful so thank you again.
I am a question, and it may be a DUH??? Question, but if I grow various flavors of peppermints should I keep them in separate areas so the bees do not cross the flavors? And if so how far apart? My bees go crazy in the summer crossing my tomatoes, peppers and tomatillos.
Thank you again you are AWESOME!! Go team green!!
Most of the varieties do not breed true from seed and it is best to propagate from a cutting. Otherwise, yes, you are right, you would want to prevent cross pollination.

At noon yesterday, Jay Bailey parked his 2011 Chevrolet SUV in the lot behind the Blue Goose Cantina on Greenville Avenue and went to lunch.
When he returned an hour later, he found that the lot had been targeted by a vehicle burglar. The rear window of an SUV parked nearby had been smashed, and the owner's laptop and briefcase were gone.
Bailey's window had also been broken, and the thief had stolen his laptop and brief case as well. But Bailey, a commercial real estate broker, was missing a few more things, namely a Remington 1100 shotgun, a Remington 243 rifle, and a Winchester .22 rifle.
I've emailed Bailey about the theft and will update when and if I hear back.
