Bopper Adds Investment Strategist Françoise E. Lyon to Board of Directors
On-demand music sync licensing service, Bopper, is announcing that the President and Managing Partner of DGC Capital, Françoise E. Lyon, will be joining their board of directors this month. Lyon has a wealth of experience in finance and investing, capital raising, business development and is passionate in her current role at DGC Capital, as she looks to invest in entrepreneurial up-and-comers who are positively impacting the world.
Lyon comes to the board of Bopper with over 25 years in the finance industry, working in wealth management, business development, client servicing & increasing market share. She has worked for Merrill Lynch in Canada as Vice president of the private client solutions group and Director of Marketing, more than 5 years at the National Bank of Canada as its Vice-President of Marketing & Strategy for their wealth management division, as well as Senior Vice-president of Pembroke Wealth Management, a boutique investment firm in Montreal. Today, as President & Managing Partner of DGC Capital, her passion is in funding innovators and disruptive companies looking to make a positive difference in society at large.
In addition to Bopper's product, Lyon was impressed by the mission statement and vision of the leadership team, CEO Gabriel Bouchard and Co-founder, VP of Product and Partnerships, Phil Messier — who have built the most intuitive curated library of pre-licensed music for advertisers in the industry. "I like the fact that Bopper is remediating inequality when it comes to connecting musicians to sources of income in the advertising industry," said Lyon. "I think it's fair pay for fair service. What I see in Bopper's business model is an innate equality in the way they're ensuring artist compensation, with little or no regard for their level of notoriety."
The team at Bopper is thrilled to have Lyon on the board, recognizing the vast experience she brings to the table. "It is an honor and privilege to have Françoise join our board of directors," said Bopper CEO Gabriel Bouchard. "I have known her for several years and I am eager to see the huge impact her foresight will have on Bopper as we look to grow our artist and advertising client base."
Along with a distinguished finance resume, Lyon also chairs the board at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, speaks 3 languages, and is a world traveler, with dual citizenship in both the U.K. and Canada. She is thrilled to take a journey of a different sort, into the world of music licensing.
"What Bopper has created is a dynamic, diverse team who are not looking to make a buck just to make a buck," said Lyon, "but rather, they have really sussed out the flaw in the music industry when it comes to allocation and discovery. They uncovered something that needed to be improved, and they went out to create something that helped improve it, which I think will fundamentally change the way agencies find artists and music for advertising."

Out-of-court resolution sought in WooSox logo dispute
Brad Petrishen Telegram & Gazette Staff @BPetrishenTG
Nov 29, 2019 at 10:50 PM Dec 1, 2019 at 1:03 PM
WORCESTER – The senior vice president for a Cape Cod League baseball team that has taken exception to one of the WooSox logos said Friday he is optimistic about resolving the matter without a lawsuit.
"We're not going to run into court at this point in time," said Wareham Gatemen Senior Vice President Glen Hannington.
Hannington told The Boston Herald on Tuesday that the team was upset about an alternative "W" logo the WooSox unveiled on merchandise last week.
The "W" looks similar to the logo the Gatemen have worn for 30 years, Hannington said, and which it trademarked in 2014.
Hannington told the Herald on Tusday that he would sue if the logo were not changed. Friday, he told the T&G that he has since had a "positive discussion" with someone at the WooSox about trying to resolve the matter outside court.
Hannington said the two sides agreed to speak further after the holiday weekend. He said he is hopeful things can be resolved without a lawsuit.
Hannington said he could not offer more specific information, noting that the discussions are ongoing.
The WooSox appeared to still be selling merchandise with the logo in question as of Friday afternoon.
The alternative WooSox logo is a "W" that mimics the font the Boston Red Sox use on their hats. The main WooSox "W" logo, which features a heart inside the "W," is not in dispute.
A spokesperson for the WooSox on Friday deferred a request for comment to Hannington.

In this page you can find some tips or helpful hints to guide you better in choosing the most appropriate puppy for you and your situation in general. Please keep in mind that those who raise and grow different litters during the year, knows perfectly the various stages of the life of a Chihuahua and all of its needs , therefore , especially if you are the first experiences , rely on the advice of the breeder that, as in our case , it should deliver a puppy only Dapo have assessed whether it is appropriate to do so , to protect the mental and physical health of the little chihuahua .
We would like to point out that each puppy has its own character , and almost always the chihuahua puppy is a very sweet and well suited to the family , but they are not toys that can be programmed at will, then there is always to be borne in mind that not all puppies can respond the same way to different stimuli that come from the environment …. The patience in these cases is a must! Already in breeding receive the basics of basic education (eg, search of the mat hygienic, socialization with humans etc …) but the rest of the "work" it will be up to the future owner will have to continue teaching and education puppy with patience and dedication.
• IMPORTANT: The well-being and health of the puppy is first of all for your puppy you claim the maximum guarantees healthful !
Repeated pregnancies hysterical expose the onset of female reproductive cancer , so veterinarians recommend the sterilization of Cannetta .
MALE CHIHUAHUA: If you're the first experience , do not overlook the choice of a boy, primarily due to the fact that not having heat , will not present its problems and therefore it is easier to manage. Even their character is significantly more stable by failing hormonal excursions , and are often much more cuddly and sweet girls. Mark the territory peeing out of place if they enter into competition with other dogs, or if there are females in heat nearby. This phenomenon can ' be solved by sterilization of the subject. Regarding only the aesthetic appearance , often the males are the subjects that best show the aesthetic characteristics of the breed , and handed down to their offspring . We also started with a boy ( Merlin ) and we lived in an apartment in Rome , and we have not had any problems of management, of course , education is always at the base of a well-educated and well-trained dog ..
LONG COAT : It is a little more challenging than short hair , does not require annual shearing treatments or complicated , but it's just brushed and dried more carefully than the p.corto , of course tends to hold more dirt, for example when the chihua p . along frequents the parks or areas with vegetation , it can easily hold a few pagiuzza etc. … but just a spazzolatina and everything will go away !
SMOOTH COATH : is easily manageable , even just a damp cloth and pass a brushed and comes alive as after the bath … A little ' more stubborn to remove from fabrics because it is sandwiched between the fibers , but goes away with cleaning brush adhesive . There are those who prefer it because it would show fully the aesthetic features of the subject to short hair , but in our opinion, both are beautiful .
The table below shows the main colors of the coat of the Chihuahua , but from research done on the portal FCI / ENCI even emerge a more or less infinite number of shades, always resulting from genetic crosses of the main colors. In fact the standard of ENCI chihuahua is allowed and accepted any color (except Merle would seem to be connected in series and dangerous genetic defects and / or morphological that would compromise the health ) , at the same time is also allowed the reproduction between individuals of different color and of different types of hair ( short hair long hair x ) without any negative consequences at the level genotype and phenotype .Of course , by the law of genetics , some colors are more frequent since linked to a dominant gene (eg . Colors like black or tawny or honey ), while other colors are less frequent in occurrence because recessive genes linked to such eg pure white , blue , liver, choccolate and lilac .From then consider that almost all of these colors can appear on both the short hair on both the long-haired , without restriction of any kind.

OISE, global educational partners renew Memorandum of Understanding
By Perry King
11 educational institutes from the International Network of Education Institutes signed a memorandum of understanding on Nov.11, affirming that the organization would continue for a new five-year term (photo by Lisa Sakulensky).
A memorandum of understanding signed by 11 educational institutions, including the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), has signalled a continuing, strengthening global partnership.
The MOU, signed by the International Network of Education Institutes (INEI) on the first day of meetings on Nov. 11, affirmed that the organization would continue for a new five-year term – ending in 2024. Formed in 2007, the INEI is a network of natural partners – leading faculties of education from all continents except Antarctica – which prioritize both teacher education and educational research.
"I am extremely pleased that the Toronto meeting led to a clear agreement on both sustaining the network but also moving forward on a range of collaborative initiatives," said Glen Jones, OISE's Dean. "This is an amazing network of peers from across the globe who share a common interest in collaborating to further educational research and professional education."
View photos from the welcome reception
Facilitated by OISE's Continuing and Professional Learning, the three-day meeting – from Nov. 11 to 13, 2019 – was convened with the objective of discussing ways of strengthening the network through mutual collaboration.
Titled Toward 2030 – Collaboration and Innovation, the meeting was framed by the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals 2030 (UN SDG). The UN SDG framework provides a shared optimism that the pooling of common experiences and achievements amongst a community of educators can bring about advances in education internationally.
During the meetings, the INEI agreed to contribute to ecological sustainability by sharing promising research-informed, high impact practices in teacher professional learning by:
Taking an inventory of research, practices and initiatives in ecological sustainability education
Sharing research findings and examples of promising practices
Enabling further cross-institutional collaboration in research and teaching, and
Contributing to local, regional and global advocacy
Dean Glen Jones and University of Toronto President Meric Gertler welcome partners from the International Network of Educational Institutes to OISE (photo by Lisa Sakulensky).
The INEI also agreed to collaborate on a number of new initiatives, including developing a community of professional practice for research administrators, supporting the professional development of early-career researchers and using new technologies to further support research and teaching collaboration.
"I am truly excited by the possibilities for partnership, collaboration, and innovation that emerged from our meeting," said Michele Peterson-Badali, OISE's Associate Dean, Research, International & Innovation. "As a network, we will work together to enhance the quality of teacher education globally, advance research, and advocate for the vital importance of education as a means to achieving social and environmental justice."
"I was inspired by the hard work, creativity, and commitment of every single participant over the 2½ days," she added. "We identified critical needs that we can tackle much better together than individually, and we started concrete action planning to address those needs."
The next meeting of the INEI will take place in 2020 at the National Institute for Education, located at Nanyang Technical University in Singapore.

Syrian girl, student, metalhead
Laya* (18) writes about the Middle East's metal scene and what being a metalhead means to her
Metal music has always been considered outside the mainstream in the Middle East. Usually people who listen to metal music are hiding or pretending that they are listening to "normal" music.
In Syria it's more extreme, as people have to go through many more battles: against society, against cultures, against war. Traditional people in Syria, especially in Aleppo where I come from, would consider this music satanic or anti-islamic. They might say that people who sing this kind of music are gay or possessed by the devil, or they would think they are not well educated.
There are assumptions that all metalheads do is get drunk and take a lot of drugs, which is totally not true. People hear the screaming and think it's just a phase, that you'll grow out of it.
A photo Laya took at her first metal concert, in Berlin.
Being raised in Aleppo meant being raised in a very traditional, religious place.
I started listening to metal when I was eight. My brother used to make me listen to popular bands like Metallica, Evanescence, Linkin Park and System of a Down. My mum used to hate it when he put this music on infront of me, saying, "stop this music! I don't want her to be like this."
I started to like this music a lot, but when I asked my brother to show me where to get this music from, he refused, saying I was too young to love it. I remember hiding behind him and peeking to see: "where is he gonna get the music?" I would tell him that I wanted to play a Barbie game on his computer, so that I could listen to all these amazing bands. Of course, a while later I found out that this type of music is called "METAL".
What I really like about this music is that it speaks about everything in life: bullying, politics, war, sadness, happiness, mental illness, etc. I feel that they scream in anger because you cannot speak nicely about war and say, "hey, please stop killing us…". Most lyrics are deep and meaningful. I have no favourite metal genre and I listen to all genres.
For me as a kid, music was my only escape and the lyrics said everything my lips wouldn't say. By the time I was 10, my family was starting to realise that I was really into this type of music, as I began changing the way I dressed. They told me that I would regret it, that I wouldn't be able to stop listening to it. I felt their reaction was kind of harsh on me. Some of them even printed articles about this music, saying that I would go to hell, and that these musicians are insane.
Some of my family members refused to go out with me because of my style of dress. I kind of understand their reaction: in their eyes, I was only a child. It wasn't only hard for me with my family but in school I got bullied a lot. The school called my mum few times and I also failed Religion class, just because some of the girls told the teachers that I listen to all this screaming. I even got a warning that I could get suspended from school.
People would look at me in the street, calling me names. Our neighbors said they were afraid of the loud music in our house. I was at war with most of the people around me.
I've always felt older than my age, but everyone around me thought that I was only a child, that I would grow out of this music. I began isolating myself from everyone and going through adolescence didn't help. Metal music became my one and only friend.
In 2011 the Syrian civil war started. Everyone was so lost, terrified and confused. People started moving to safer places within Syria.
We moved around Aleppo a lot. We went to even worse, more traditional places where even "normal" music wasn't allowed. I had to listen to my own music in secret. In 2013 we shifted back to my old house, even though it wasn't safe. We felt we had no other choice. By then I was 13 and when I went to buy band t-shirts or something punk rock I had to go to underground places. People were more and more paranoid about anything that didn't fit with the Syrian culture.
Laya's home in Aleppo.
In 2014 I moved to Turkey, where things weren't much better. Our living conditions were really bad and I had to count on myself a lot because my mum had to stay in Syria to do some things. I was only a teenager and this music helped me a lot, through my worst times.
But when I left Syria I knew I didn't want to be so alone again, so I learned to hide the fact that I am a metalhead because I needed friends and I was afraid of rejection.
Once my mum arrived in 2015, we decided to travel to Sweden as my brother was there.
It was the worst experience of my life. We fell in the water three times and saw people and children sinking. I was wearing my Metallica t-shirt, which I remember struggling to find in Turkey.
In Sweden I was more comfortable listening to what I wanted, but I also experienced a lot of rejection from Arabic society there.
In 2016 they sent us back to Germany, as we had already been fingerprinted there, so that's where we had to live. In Berlin I finally learned how to be myself, to not care what other people around me think and how to stand up for myself.
Since coming here I have seen Avenged Sevenfold and Disturbed live. It was the most amazing life experience and I felt right at home.
Laya attends her first metal concert in Berlin.
In the end I just want to say that I don't stand against anything religious or against anyone else's culture. I just want people to respect that God made us different in order to complete each other, not to judge.
I want people to treat metal music the way they treat other music genres. I don't understand how you could not judge someone who listens to music about appearance, sex, money and drugs and then reject metal music, just because it expresses emotions in a different way.
*Name has been changed
[Editor's note, August 2018: Exciting news! Laya's story was re-published in the international metal music magazine Revolver, with beautiful illustrations by Batman illustrator Becky Cloonan. Laya's story went out to 100,000 readers in print, but you can also check it out online, with illustrations, on Revolver's website].

We enjoy trying out new recipes and this weekend we tried a new marinade to prepare some steaks for grilling. This marinade recipe is from Lucy Saunders' book "Grilling With Beer". The marinade is made with fennel, mustard, and celery seeds, red pepper, garlic, salt, chipotle pepper, brown sugar, and dunkelweizen beer. We used Erdinger Weissbier Dunkel, or Dark Hefeweizen. While Colleen prepared with marinade the house was filled with the aroma of the spices. Our son declared "It smells like barbecue." We let NY strip steaks marinate most of the day before throwing them on the gill. I also slow grilled some Vidalia onions with butter and parmesan cheese. Add in some corn on the cob and we had a super Summer time dinner in the works!
Per the author's suggestion, Colleen held a bit of the marinade aside and thickened it for use when the steaks were plated. We all enjoyed the flavors added by the marinade quite a bit. Colleen and I spooned the reduced sauce over our steaks, while my son found the steaks spicy enough on their own. There's an interesting multi-faceted profile to the marinade. The initial flavors are fennel and sweet, brown sugar. The flavor of the meat is not hindered at all. Then you are hit by the pepper and chipotle spiciness in a flavorful burst.
I decided to serve Clipper City Red Sky at Night Saison with the meal. The Saison stood up very well to the spices on the meat and provided an excellent palate refresher. Even the mild flavors of the buttery, sweet onions were able to be enjoyed next to the spice of the beef. The Dunkelweizen and Spice Marinade was declared a "keeper" and we'll be enjoying it again, soon.

Blue Oyster Cult - Spectres / Secret Treaties (1977 / 1974 us, exceptional hard rock, 2007 bonus tracks remaster and 2014 blu spec remaster)
Often looked at as the least attractive and least talented younger sibling to the monster Agents of Fortune, 1977's Spectres is actually quite strong on its own and holds up pretty well next to that breakthrough album. As SONY Legacy is slowly making their way through the catalog, this remaster is quite nice and a long time coming. All the original album cuts sound great, and there are four bonus tracks included, all songs recorded at the same sessions, and appearing here for the first time.
Making your way through this release, there really are a lot of intelligent, catchy, heavy rock tunes, some dripping with a dash of proggy atmosphere & texture, a little dose of "metal" here and there, but for the most part just very good rock music. Sure, the thing kicks off with the infamous "Godzilla", a snarling heavy rock beast that reminded fans that they could easily melt the speakers alongside Black Sabbath and Ted Nugent anyday. However, let's not forget the brash "Golden Age of Leather", or the super melodic "Death Valley Nights", complete with searing guitar licks from Donald 'Buck Dharma' Roeser. Spirited funk rock track "Searchin' For Celine" and the meditative rocker "Fireworks" both show the writing talents of Allen Lanier and Albert Bouchard, and the Eric Bloom/Ian Hunter penned "Goin' Through the Motions" is a great rock radio tune that surprisingly wasn't a smash hit. The heavy rocker "R.U. Ready 2 Rock" became a live favorite, and features crisp riffs from Buck and honky tonk piano from Lanier. "Celestial The Queen" is a grand & majestic tune that relies heavily on layers of vocals and Lanier's keyboard work. The last two tracks are quite interesting; "I Love the Night" is a tender piece written by Roeser, featuring his melodic vocals and an emotional guitar solo, while "Nosferatu" is a dark and mysterious piece about vampires, and comes pretty close to prog rock.
The bonus tracks are a mixed bag, but will be of great interest to fans. "Night Flyer" is a poppy rocker, "Dial M for Murder" features some snarling guitar work, an angry vocal from Bloom, and raging Hammond from Lanier, but "Please Hold" is pretty awful. The band's take on the Ronettes classic "Be My Baby" is suprisingly good, if a bit odd. After hearing these four songs, you'll realize why they were left off of Spectres, but it's great having them here so you can take in the entire session in one listen. Overall, this album might not be the immediate classic that Secret Treaties, Agents of Fortune, or Tyranny and Mutation are, but it comes close.
The music is clean and precisely heard. The shouted parts in "Godzilla" are easily discernable while the clarity of the music is excellent. This is true throughout Spectres, which should please fans. The expanded parts of Spectres contain 4 bonus tracks recorded during the Spectre sessions but not used.The bonus cuts are easily discernible as having been from these sessions however, it's also clear why they were left off. They are fun tracks and their inclusion here is worthy as it shows us a process of selection. These tracks feel out of place with the overall theme of the album but regardless add value to this new package. "Please Hold," the third bonus cut is a mid-'60s Stones-like song that holds well. The final bonus track, "Be My Baby" is a cover of The Ronettes' popular, "Be My Baby" and is actually a very good cover at that, if not a curiosity, and an oft-traded BOC track - it reminds of the use of "Loco-Motion" by Grand Funk Railroad.

A break in the moisture coming off the Pacific Ocean allowed for excellent viewing of volcanic peaks outside of Portland, Oregon. A "lenticular" cloud can be seen osculating over the peak of Mt. Hood in this high resolution time-lapse.
As air flows along the surface of the Earth, it encounters obstructions, such as mountains and hills. This results in "mechanical turbulence", which slows down the air directly around the obstacle which can create "standing waves" that appear of condensed water particles that form clouds.
To me, it looked like Mt Hood had a funny mushroom hat on, which made me laugh and wonder at the strange and wonderful phenomena found here in the Pacific Northwest. This post is a part of my weekly photographic series.

More Cash Incentives Promised for Foreign Investors
By Yoon Ja-young
Foreigners who plan to invest in the country will get more cash support from the government starting next year.
The Ministry of Knowledge Economy said Sunday that it is considering measures to increase incentives on inbound foreign investment.
Currently, the country provides around 15 billion won cash support for foreign investment annually. It is considering expanding this support by two to three times.
While the country's businesses have increased investment overseas in search of lower labor costs and new markets, inbound investment by foreigners has remained stagnant over the past few years. Hence, the government has been seeking ways to attract more investment here, as countries around the world come up with various incentives and reforms.
The ministry also plans to set up FIZs specializing in services industries in September. The government has been paying attention to the services sector over the past few years, which is increasing its stake in terms of employment.
According to Statistics Korea, 70.8 percent of those employed here were working in the services sector as of January. The sector provided jobs to only 50.6 percent of workers in 1992, but the ratio has been surging.
However, it has remained relatively uncompetitive compared with the country's strong manufacturing sector.
The idea of creating FIZs for services came as 66 percent of foreign direct investment in the country is made in this sector. They are likely to be set up in metropolitan areas such as Seoul, Busan and Daejeon.
The government is also pondering over ways to improve living conditions for foreigners, as families residing in the country often complain of poor access to medical services or good schools for their children.

4-Fluorobutyrylfentanyl (also known as 4-FBF and p-FBF or para-fluorobutyrylfentanyl) is an opioid analgesic that is an analog of butyrfentanyl and has been sold online as a designer drug. It is closely related to 4-fluorofentanyl, which has an EC50 value of 4.2 nM for the human μ-opioid receptor.

Side effects

Side effects of fentanyl analogs are similar to those of fentanyl itself, which include itching, nausea and potentially serious respiratory depression, which can be life-threatening. Fentanyl analogs have killed hundreds of people throughout Europe and the former Soviet republics since the most recent resurgence in use began in Estonia in the early 2000s, and novel derivatives continue to appear.

Legal status

Sweden's public health agency suggested classifying 4-fluorobutyrylfentanyl as hazardous substance on August 18, 2014.

In October 2015, 4-fluorobutyrylfentanyl became a controlled substance in China.

4-Fluorobutyrfentanyl is a Schedule I controlled drug in the USA since 1. February 2018.

Special thanks also goes to Chad Rueffer and Chris Winston for their willingness to take part in performing on the CD. Plus, now I can drop their names every time I talk about my CD!
Thanks to Joey Lomas for mixing and mastering my songs and working his magic. I couldn't be more pleased with the sound of this record. As always, he made me sound so great.
Also, I'd like to thank my parents, Becky and Gary Haire for saying yes to singing a song with me, and for coming over and having fun and being silly while we recorded. We were able to just sit in my living room and sing in a very laid back style. I will treasure this track (White Christmas) for years to come.
AND, If you listen closely at the beginning and the very end, you will hear our little furr buddy, 8Ball. Yep, we just had to make sure the dog was in on White Christmas, too!
Lastly, to those of you who have purchased this CD, I am truly grateful. Know that you are the reason I continue to sing and without you this could not be possible. You help make my dream come true week after week.
So, from my family to yours, we wish you a very merry little Christmas, a safe and LOVE filled holiday season spent with friends and family in love and laughter. Nothing is more important than sharing time with those you love all year long.

Checking out the NSB
The NSB, or Newspaper Storage Building, is the British Library's new home for newspapers. Situated at our second site in Boston Spa, Yorkshire, it is not where users will be able to read our print newspapers - that will be in the Newsroom at St Pancras, when they become available once more in Autumn 2014 - but it is where they are starting to be stored, in optimum preservation conditions.
The Newspaper Storage Building (NSB)
The urgent need for moving the newspaper collection from its former North London home in Colindale to the NSB is made clear in a recent blog post by Sandy Ryan of our Collection Care team.
In 2001, as part of a three-year project to survey all of the Library's collections on all of its sites, we surveyed the newspaper collections at Colindale using the PAS (Preservation Needs Assessment Survey) methodology. The results showed that the newspaper collection is the most vulnerable of all of the Library's collections and gave us a statistically sound picture of the state of this national collection. Our results showed that 34% of the collection at Colindale was unstable – 19.4% in poor condition, 14.6% unusable.
It simply wasn't possible for us to continue with a third of the collection in an unstable condition and nearly 15% of it actually unusable. So it was that, thanks to £33M of government funding, we embarked on our Newspaper Programme, which has seen the closing down of the Newspaper Library at Colindale, the building on the NSB with the ongoing transfer of the newspaper collection to the new facility, the planned digitisation of 40 million newspaper pages through the British Newspaper Archive, and the opening of the Newsroom at our St Pancras site next month.
I visited the NSB for the first time last week. It is, to be honest, a large black lump - a Vogon spaceship of a building, landed in the middle of the Yorkshire countryside. But what it lacks in beauty on the outside it more than gains in purpose on the inside. It is essential for the long-term preservation of the print newspapers that they be kept optimum temperature and humidity-controlled conditions, and in the dark. Inside the NSB the temperature is being maintained at 14⁰C, with relative humidity at 55%, and the oxygen level 14-15%, eliminating any risk of fire. So it is great for newspapers, but not so great for humans. Instead the process of ingest, shelving and retrievable is all undertaken by fully-automated machinery - appropriately robotic for a spaceship.
Looking up from the inside of the NSB as one of the cranes descends, from BBC News
Disappointingly it means that visitors can't see inside the main storage area (there is no viewing gallery), but you can see what it looks like from this recent BBC News video, which also shows the conditions at Colindale - the contrast is dramatic. A push of a button from St Pancras will send a message to the Boston Spa robots to select the requested newspaper volume from its rack, carry it to the outside, and have it delivered to St Pancras within 48 hours.
Such a process requires more than robots - it requires minute attention to data. Every volume in the collection has been marked with a barcode, with these records matched to the appropriate catalogue record. This would have been a time-consuming but otherwise straightforward process were there a simple one-to-one relationship between catalogue and object, but sadly that is not the case. Many of the newspaper titles have been bound alongside other titles, and newspapers in case are full of cataloguing complexities because they have a tendency to change their titles or frequency of publication. This has meant a huge job of matching complex records to the complixities of how the newspapers have been bound or boxed, in a form that makes sense to an electronic catalogue and ordering system.
Stacks of newspaper volumes ready for ingest into the NSB
You can see the results of this in operation at the one part of the NSB that it open to visitors, the ingest area i.e. where the newspapers are delivered into the NSB. Each shrink-wrapped newspaper volume has its barcode, which is checked against the NSB's management system. Each pile of newspaper volumes, as shown in the photograph above, is also barcoded, because the stack of volumes then has to find its place within the NSB. Each stack - which is a maximum 400mm high - has a top and bottom board with straps tightly-secured about them (a task performed by actual humans). Only when every volume that should be there has been checked to form a complete stack, and the barcode for stack itself swiped and checked, can the complete set be whisked away on a conveyor belt, through an air lock, and off to its alloted rack within the darkened vastiness of the NSB.
Another delivery arrives from Colindale
All of this is currently going through a testing process, as we try to anticipate all of the different kinds of order enquries that will be made, how they are identified, retrieved and delivered, while making sure that nothing gets lost or damaged along the way. Meanwhile the newspapers are now being delivered from Colindale to the NSB, a few lorries-worth at a time so far, but soon to be three lorries per day, every day, up to Autumn 2014 when every newspaper volume (c.280,000 of them) will be in place and the full print newspaper delivery service can be put into action.
The Newsroom opens on 7 April, when there will be no print newspapers available to begin with. The service we'll be providing between then and Autumn 2014 will be microfilm and digital copies only. As a third of the collection is accessible in microfilm form, we will be able to satisfy a great many research enquiries as things are, and in an ideal operational world we would want to deliver 100% microfilm and digital access, and never have to move the newspapers again. The NSB has been designed for their long-term preservation, so that our news heritage is safe for many generations to come.
The NSB has excited a lot of interest for its automated storage systems, but what intrigues me from the curatorial point of view is that relationship between the object and its description. Our analogue heritage fits clumsily into the digital age. We have bound newspapers into volumes for the convenience of storing them on shelves, but what was convenient for finding newspapers by humans able to walk up and down those shelves is not so convenient when we need to understand newspapers as they were issued, which is by issue.
Our newspaper catalogue is at title-level; that is, we can tell you that we have The Times, and that for any particular date or time period for that newspaper we can direct you to the relevant volume. We can't point you directly to that individual instance of a newspaper, unless you use the British Newspaper Archive, where that 1% of our collection that has been digitised is discoverable by article, page, issue or title. That's what digital should give you - logical disaggregation of the object into an intelligent, reuseable, interoperable artefact. Newspapers can then be linked up with other newspapers, indeed other news forms such as television, radio, web or anything with a date to it.
We have more thinking to do about how best to make our newspapers available, and why.

A balding Australian's thoughts on everything happening in sports
AFL Round 16 Wrap Up
BLOWOUT wins, nail bitting finishes and back-to-back draws for the Giants shaped the 16th round of 2017. Just when we thought that we have our thoughts straight on who are legit flag contenders, we were thrown curveballs in the yo-yo season that continues to shock the football community.
IF you like what you read be sure to check out more SportsbyFry articles by hitting this link. Make sure you keep up to date with the latest Other Sport and AFL articles and follow our fan pages on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to never miss a minute of the action!
– A string of 10 unanswered goals in the second half set up the Crows 59 point win over the Bulldogs. The win pushed Adelaide back to the top of the ladder with Rory Laird and the Crouch brothers instrumental.
– FOR the first time since 1921 a team played out a draw in consecutive weeks. The GWS Giants were once again forced to split the points after the Hawks failed to rush through a crucial point in the dying moments.
Image from wwos.nine.com.au
– COLLINGWOOD'S finals aspirations are in tatters after Essendon dealt them a 37 point loss at the MCG. The Bombers September chances are still alive as they sit just one game outside the eight.
– A sluggish start by Sydney didn't stop them recording a percentage boost against the Suns. Gold Coast led at quarter time (5.2.32 – 4.3.27), only to see the Swans steamroll them from that point onwards, en route to a 67 point win that pushed them into the top eight.
– TO no ones surprise Geelong dominated Brisbane on Saturday night, blowing the Lions out with a 85 point victory. The Cats seemed like they were in for a long night early, with Brisbane fighting hard, but they blew the game open in the second quarter and never looked back.
– ST Kilda underlined their finals intentions with a barnstorming thrashing of Richmond. The Saints set up their mammoth 67 points with a second quarter onslaught were they scored 9.5 to Richmond's 0.1.
– ANOTHER close finish between two teams who are used to being in this position provided us with one of the games of the weekend. North once again found themselves on the losing side of a single digit deficit, while the win snapped a five game losing streak for Roos Lyon's troops.
– A gallant Carlton outfit were unable to steal a win from the Demons. The eight point triumph keeps the injury torn Melbourne squad in touch with the top four as Carlton continues to build for the future.
– PORT Adelaide finally claimed the scalp that they so desperately craved, with a big win against West Coast in their own building. The inconsistencies of the Eagles continue to be an issue while the Power stay inside the top four after recording their best win of the year to date.
The Four Points
Tom McDonald Might Be The Demons Secret Weapon
WITH 14 goals in five games as a focal point for the Demons attack, Tom McDonald up forward might be a permanent move. Alongside Jesse Hogan McDonald managed to snag four goals against the Blues showing they can co-exist together. If they can formulate a plan to play alongside one another it may help Melbourne take the next step to becoming a contender.
West Coast Needs Josh Kennedy….NOW
SINCE going down in Round 10, Josh Kennedy's Eagles have gone 2-3, including back-to-back losses at home. If they want to feature in September at all, they need to have the focal point of their attack in uniform.
Hodge Calls It Quits
ON the eve of his 300th AFL game, Luke Hodge held a press conference to tell everyone 2017 will be his last season. The 4x premiership player and dual Norm Smith medalist is one of the most decorated players in history of the game. Kudos on a great career Hodgey.
Just Quietly Patty Could Go Back-To-Back
AVERAGING 37 points in his past month worth of games Patrick Dangerfield has quietly played himself into Brownlow medal contention once again. Dustin Martin seemed destined to be the favourite to take home 'Charlie', but not if the 2016 winner has anything to say about it.
1. Adelaide Crows (
2) – Looked like the best team in the league on Friday.
2. Geelong Cats (level) – Huge fortnight coming up.
3. GWS Giants (
2) – Bit harsh, but I'm guessing the Giants won't sit here for long.
4. Port Adelaide Power(
2) – I still have my doubts on if the Power are legit.
5. Melbourne Demons (level) – Treading water and flirting with a top four gig.
6. St Kilda Saints (
3) – I asked the Saints for a sign they were legit. They gave it.
7. Richmond Tigers (
3) – Are the Tigers destined to finish 9th once again?
8. Sydney Swans (level) – Took care of business vs the Suns.
9. West Coast Eagles (
2) – Tough loss raising even more questions about their legitimacy to compete in finals.
10. Essendon Bombers (
1) – Finals are still an option, they need to top the Saints next week though.
11. Fremantle Dockers (
2) – The real test comes this weekend against the Eagles.
12. Western Bulldogs (
2) – What is happening to the Dogs? Premiership defense in tatters.
13. Carlton Blues (
1) – Fear not Blues fans the future is bright.
14. Hawthorn Hawks (
1) – Really needed all four points, but will settle for two.
15. Collingwood Magpies (
1) – Finals are out of the question.
16. Gold Coast Suns (level) – Demoralising loss at the hands of a finals bound team.
17. Brisbane Lions (level) – Ditto.
18. North Melbourne Kangaroos (level) – There are three certainties in life: death, taxes and a single digit North loss.
THE Eagles and Tigers are the teams with the biggest drop off, while Fremantle, St Kilda and Adelaide all rise up multiple spots. The finals dreams of several teams appear over and next weeked may shut the door on a few more September dreams.
Fantasy +3
2218 – I decided to bring in Dustin Martin (73) this week, which of course meant he dished up a 2nd lowest score of the season. I continue to struggle to crack the top 10,000 and time is fast running out.
Image from afl.com.au
THERE were plenty of big scores across the board this week. There was none bigger than Dayne Zorko, who threw out an incredible 181! Honourable mentions go out to household names Patrick Dangerfield (150), Tom Mitchell (143), Sam Docherty (152) and Josh Kelly (136), while popular choices Rory Laird (135) and Nat Fyfe (114) restored the faith owners have shown in them. Popular rooks Hibberd (87) and Witherden (82) and Ryan (88) also helped coaches crack a smile around the country.
TAYLOR Adams (87) and Elliot Yeo (86) were amongst the premium culprits who failed for their owners last week while the reputation of S.Martin (85), Dahlhaus (85), Brodie Grundy (75) and Adam Treloar (57) continues to plummet.
WITH so many under performing 'premiums' it's hard to know what direction we should move in this week. The good old tactic of upgrading and downgrading weekly might be thrown out the window if we can't manage to trust popular picks like the aforementioned Grundy, Dahlhaus, S.Martin and others like Rocky and Sloane. I know it's tough, but have to back the big names in to produce the scores we know they are capable of.

TALK OF THE TOWN BERLIN
TALK OF THE TOWN BERLIN – CITY OF FREEDOM HOTSPOT FOR STARTUPS Berlin is a young woman taking the S-Bahn with Seppi, her pony; Berlin is tomatoes, lettuce and herbs growing in selfmade plant beds at the former Tempelhof Airfield; and Berlin is a breakfast table on the subway platform at Kottbusser Tor, referred to as "Kotti." Indeed, whether it's ponies on a free ride, urban farming or brunch at Kotti, there are some things you can experience only in Berlin. Why here, you ask? Because it's Berlin. No matter what time of day, you can see and feel the city's unique lifestyle shaped by diversity, freedom and, above all, by Berliners themselves. Freedom is courage and involves being bold! The idea of taking a chance on new ventures is exactly what characterizes Berlin's economy. For example, the startup Native Instruments recently launched "Thrill," a revolutionary new tool that has the epic strength of an orchestra with an interface that allows one person to craft entire sound installations single-handedly. Why is Berlin the place where projects like these can get underway? Because Berlin is Germany's leader in startup investments. Last year, over €1 billion in venture capital flowed into promising business ideas here in the areas of technology and the creative industries. ARTS & CULTURE Creatives and culture professionals active in all sectors continue to flock to Berlin from all over the world. They come here to carry out unique projects, whether it's a performative installation made of sugar cubes or "The Haus," a temporary street art project on Nürnberger Straße. Artists know they can let give their talent free reign in the capital. Berlin makes it possible! People working together at creative and innovation labs, in workshops and coworking spaces guarantees a significant degree of flexibility and independence. Photo: spring brand ideas 8
MISSION TO THE MOON Berlin creates space for science but also for lateral thinkers, free thinkers and people who just think differently, which is why it's rightly regarded as a "brain city." The fact that a young company called Parttime Scientists is planning the first German moon landing from offices in Berlin- Mahlsdorf might sound like sci-fi to most; in reality, however, it's just one of many spectacular science projects underway in Berlin. UNITED IN FREEDOM Freedom is more than 180 nations living side-by-side in a city where everyone is free to pursue their aims and no one is alone. Indeed, many associations and organizations in Berlin work on behalf of people in need. These include innovative efforts such as the living-and-working project Sharehouse Refugio operated by Berlin's City Mission, but also the career mentoring program SINGA Germany, which supports people who have lost their homes or homeland, helping them to gain a foothold and visualize a future lived in peace and freedom in their new hometown of Berlin. #FREIHEITBERLIN A lifestyle shaped by freedom is the very essence of Berlin – its DNA, so to speak. The new be Berlin campaign takes up this unique spirit and displays it to the world. The campaign is designed to mark the 60th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, which lay the cornerstone for the European Union. Under the motto #freiheitberlin, everyone is invited to experience the freedom and open space that Berlin provides, and all Berliners are encouraged to share what freedom means to them under the hashtag #freiheitberlin. 9

David Carr marvels at the maddeningly low-brow, mystically formulaic craft of writing headlines for the web in his column today.
Mr. Carr presents an example from The Huffington Post — "Obama Rejects Rush Limbaugh Golf Match: Rush 'Can Play With Himself'" — to show what best practice has to offer in 2010.
Sites like The Huffington Post have continued to test multiple headlines and see which gets more clicks, according to Mr. Carr, while Politico's new site TBD.com writes headlines with clarity in mind so that readers scrolling past hundreds of stories (on an RSS reader, for example) will be able to know what they're getting when they click.
The length of these headlines is another consideration, and shorter is better.
"Google's crawlers and aggregators like Digg quit paying attention after 60 characters or so, long before readers might," writes Mr. Carr.
Long before joining The New York Times, Mr. Carr worked for years, editing The Washington CityPaper, and writing lots of punchy, newspaper headlines.

"Glaros" which when translated into English means, "Seagull". She is unique traditional Greek wooden Motor Sailor. Which for many years worked as a ferry between the island of Paxos and Parga on the mainland. Glaros also worked with a diving school, taking divers to various dive locations around the island of Corfu. Glaros was built in the seventies by one of the leading boat yards of Greece.
Glaros has 4 double cabins and 1 cabin with 2 single bunk beds. All cabins have en-suite bathrooms.
Recently, Glaros has been refurbished with a gleaming wood interior, and spacious, comfortable accommodation. She is a classic motor sailing yacht providing the highest level of luxury and services combined with the latest technology.
All timbers used during the extensive refit have come from those countries where the timber is in abundant supply. We never used any wood which came from those countries throughout the world where they destroy forests. So at least we are trying to do our bit to alleviate global warming.
There will be a hostess on-board to look after things.
Glaros has several large deck areas to offer you spectacular views in the Mediterranean. The aft deck has a superb shaded area for dining and lounging, away from the midday sun. The forward part of the deck has a large area with comfortable cushions so that you can bask in the sun. This is a romantic place to dance with your loved one as the sun goes down.
There are four luxurious cabins fitted out mainly in Mahogany, all with en-suite Shower and W.C. A large lounge area and galley on the upper deck, which is adjoined to the wheelhouse enabling you to see the running of the vessel at first hand. The Wheelhouse itself has been installed with the latest state of the art electrical and navigational equipment. The crew's quarters are in the stern of the vessel, with a separate bathroom.
Restaurants, Bars and Shopping, are all in walking distance of the marina.
There are many souvenir shops, a Museum and Castles which you can visit.
Beaches where you can do water sports activities like wind surfing and kite surfing.
Glaros is berthed in Lefkada marina, right next to the town of Lefkada. The nearest airport to Lefkada marina, is Preveza. Which is a 15-20 minute taxi ride from the airport.
Sun, Sea and sand. Greek cuisine.

About the marina/waterway Lefkada is the 4th largest Ionian Island. The island is famous for its beautiful beaches and wild ranging mountain scenery. Lefkas marina is situated right in the middle of the town and harbour. Which is all in walking distance.
We have just spent the most amazing and wonderful week on Glaros in Lefkas Marina. She is a terrific place to stay, and is lovingly looked after by the owners. Cliff and Jo are a fantastic couple, and provide both a wonderful place to stay as well as being on hand as they are close by. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time and we would recommend Glaros to anyone considering Lefkada.


This month I, Rachel, will be reporting for Para Peru! Who I am? I am, first and foremost, Lauren's cousin! I recently graduated from college and I have been in Peru for five weeks. Let me tell you, time has flown! I have fallen in love with Peru and I already cannot wait until I have the privilege of returning.
This month has been different than other months for several reasons! First, Lauren has been preparing for furlough. Leaving the country is always challenging but leaving a ministry is even more difficult! In preparation, we have been diligently lesson planning, restocking necessary supplies, hosting leadership meetings with the church and more in addition to a week's normal events.
We also had a small group of gringas come from the States the very first week of June! The group leader, Holly, has been to Peru regularly over the past couple of years. She also brought two of her daughters and another friend. These ladies absolutely loaded their suitcases with donations, including hundreds of new socks and supplies for making slime! Every child or parent who attended a Bible study or discipleship class the week they were here received socks. We also had a youth night that week. Kenna, the slime master, lead fortyyouth in a step-by-step tutorial. We were all fascinated!
In the midst of these past weeks, we somehow managed to take a trip to a women's shelter near Lima where Lauren's friend, Yolanda, lives. These ladies are a blast. The day was full of worship songs, the sharing of the Gospel, snacks, crafts, snacks, socks, snacks and more snacks! One of the ladies at the shelter has down syndrome. With her charming, entertaining personality she was even able to convince our taxi driver to dance with her. Check out Lauren's updated website, https://paraperu.org/para-peru-video/, to see a short clip of it!
Another important task we were able to do was stand outside the local orphanage at the end of school and hand out flyers to over 1000 kids, telling them about Para Peru's weekly Bible study in Keiko. We were able to do this two consecutive Thursdays and saw many new faces as a result. In fact, a few new parents even came. This was encouraging to us and Lauren is planning on continuing to invite kids who attend there.
Personally, I have been working on media for Para Peru. While this definitely has not been my only role, it is a specific skill I can offer! As mentioned above, Para Peru has an updated website! Here is the link again: paraperu.org! Please, please go check it out. Share it on Facebook, text the link to a friend, explore the photo gallery and more! You will notice the new website also has pictures from each Bible study location. Lauren's other Mail Chimp posts are included at the bottom of the Home page under "blog". As the photographer, I managed to capture at least one group image at each location to show you the faces we love so dearly here. I also wanted each of you to see what Lauren sees in her everyday life. It may not seem aesthetically pleasing by United States standards, however, it is full of beauty!
I love, love, love the people of this country and I am already counting down to when I am able to return! Hopefully my spanish will be better next time around.
Upcoming Trip to the U.S.A.
August 18th, 17 mormon missionaries will be coming over on their off day to eat tacos and play games. This is ONLY something God could put together. Please pray that I will share the gospel with truth and grace and that they would be receptive.
I have several people I need to talk about salvation with before I leave. Please pray that they would understand and put their faith in Christ. These people have heard the gospel for years through Para Peru ministry; please pray that these seeds would come to fruition. A couple of these conversations are going to be extremely hard for various reasons. Please pray for me for wisdom.
Please pray that I would be able to get everything set up with appointments and speaking engagements in the States. I still have a few more openings to speak at churches that I would like to fill up. If you would like for me to share with your church; I would be happy to do so!
Also, Elar, my intern will be coming to the states for 3 1/2 weeks while I am there. Please pray for our church as we will be both be gone for almost a month. Pray that leaders will step up and really take the lead in the ministry. There is so much to do to prepare for furlough, but I know this is exactly what God has for me to do at this time.
I would love to see you while I am home, send me a message on facebook or by email so we can set up a time to hang out. Elar is friends with many of you guys too, and he is looking forward to hanging out with people that he has met on mission trips over the years. Let me know if you would like me to set up a time to get together with him. I am so excited to see my family, friends, and eat some Chick-Fil-A! See you soon!
Baptisms, Birthdays, and Beaches- OH MY!
May was definitely a month to remember. We baptized 9 believers, I turned 30, and so much more. I am going to share briefly some of the main highlights of May.
May 2018 was one of the best months up to date. It was incredible to see people asking to get baptized. They had actually been waiting on me to set up the service; they were so excited. Each of the 9 people that got baptized are new believers. I talked to each one of them individually about their salvation, each one explained to me in great detail their belief in Jesus and the gospel. We also then talked through exactly what baptism means and everyone fully understood it before they were baptized. Most of these people's families are Catholic which made it a harder to take this important decision as a Christian to publicly announce to the world that they are believers, yet they did! I am so proud of them. They invited their non- believing family members and friends and many came. One lady experienced great persecution from her family, and she backed out of getting baptized, but the night before she decided she was going to do it. She understood that Jesus was more important than what her family thought/ how they treated her. All glory to God for the great things He has done.
May 23rd was my 30th birthday. I have almost lived in Peru a decade; almost all of my 20s have been here serving Jesus in Peru. My good friends Michael and Jessica were coming down to visit me on my actual birthday, so the Peruvians were super sneaky and did a surprise party before my actual birthday! The entire church was there and everyone pitched in to help. It was decorated beautifully, there were great snacks, two cakes, a piñata, a clown, a person in a bugs bunny costume, and a girl made me this beautiful box that unfolded with a tons of cards from our church members. I felt so loved! It was a great celebration!
We also went to the homeless shelter again where my good friend Yolanda lives. We decorated visors and made name cards to go over their beds. We went to visit on a Peruvian holiday, so several youth from our church went and did a great job helping. We have been sharing the gospel using hand motions and using lots of repetition. We all explain the story of Jesus together, using simple phrases with motions. Some of the ladies there really understand the things we are teaching because they verbally express it. I have great hope and confidence that the others are learning too, just because they can not express themselves verbally does not mean they are not learning. The picture of Yolanda with a book is because they found out she knows how to read! I was in total shock. The therapist was working with them one day and found out she can read. She barely speaks, but she can read almost anything. That was just a great reminder of all that God is doing in Yola's life. We don't know much about her life, but sometime before I found her on the street she had been educated and had a different life. I am hoping to take her a children's Bible story book so she can start reading about God. I am so excited!
April was a month filled with all kinds of different ministry activities. I am going to list a few highlights of the month.
We had our church-wide birthday party celebrating the birthdays of January – April. It was a great time of celebration, learning about how God forms us even inside of our mother's womb, and the piñata as always was a blast.
Estefany aqquepucho graduated with her undergraduate degree in Administration. She was one of my very first friends in the orphanage. She is Elar and Max's sister. I am so proud of her; she worked her way through college by herself and is the first one in her family to graduate with a college degree. I was also able to spend a lot of time with her mom, who I officially met for the first time after all of these years of knowing and loving her kids. Max, Elar, and I spent a couple of hours sharing the gospel with her. Please pray for Susanna as she doesn't understand the gospel, that the Holy Spirit would reveal Jesus to her.
One of my favorite parts of the month was taking Jhon, Marta's son, to Arequipa to start drug rehab. Marta had been pleading with me for years to get help for her son. A few years ago, CrossPointe community church gave money so that Jhon could go to rehab. It took him several years to finally get his ID card from problems in his paperwork that hadn't been fixed from when he was born. He was so excited to get his ID card and was ready to go. He took his first plane ride with me and off we went to the mountains of Arequipa. He will be in a Baptist rehab center for a total of 9 months. It is a great place; the director and his family were amazing, the other staff members were so encouraging, and God's creation is SO beautiful in this area. I am so excited to see what God will do in the life of Jhon with his addiction recovery but more importantly what He will learn about Jesus. I have hope that he will put his faith in Jesus during his time there.
Baby Liam, whom many have been praying for, because he was 22% burned is out of the hospital! It is a miracle that ONLY the Lord could do. He is now walking, playing, has a smile on his face, and is SO much better. He still has a long road ahead of him with all kinds of therapy. Please pray for his continued recovery and that his parents will stay on his track with all of his many appointments as they are busy raising 3 other kids. Please pray for God's provision for this family and wisdom for Liam's parents.
School started in March, and many of our church families still did not have school supplies even though it was April. Thanks to our regular donors we were able to buy them the essential supplies/ uniforms that they needed.
It has been so encouraging watching our neighborhood Bible study grow with more youth boys. After our youth retreat, several teenage boys who didn't come before have started coming and even participate in all of our goofy games. Other young adults that normally play soccer on the court have also started coming too. I am excited to see God moving in these teenagers. Please continue to pray for them.
March was an EXCELLENT month. I want to focus on the two main things that happened in the month of March: Meadowbrook Baptist Church coming for the first time and our 4th annual youth retreat.
Meadowbrook Baptist Church has been supporting me for many years financially and in prayer. They have been such a faithful church to the help Peru on the stateside. I have been really wanting them to come and experience Peru here on the field and see what their support has been going to. In 2017, Amy, minister to families from Meadowbrook, came down and checked out Peru. She helped with so many things, on a personal note; I had so much fun with her! This past March she came back, but this time brought 10 others with her. This group did not disappoint. They all had different gifts the Lord had given them and they used them for His glory!
The week was packed with tons of activities. We had 2 discipleship classes which Amy did a great job teaching. We did 6 carnivals which involved tons of fun game stations for the kids, the group acting out "Jesus feeds the four thousand" (which was hilarious), snacks, songs, and of course the most important, a gospel presentation. Since it was the last week of Peruvian summer we had a GREAT turnout. We had over 600 kids and adults come.
We also had a youth day to finish off the summer. Most of these youth helped me all summer in all of our Bible studies and summer events. They had a blast getting to take photo booth pictures and getting their pictures printed out immediately. They played all kinds of games with the group, we all ate lunch together, Gregg taught a devotional, and we ended the day with a water balloon fight that had over 500 balloons. I had been promising the youth all summer since they weren't allowed to play in the kids balloon fights that we would have a huge epic water balloon fight at the end of summer. It did not disappoint, I was pounded with balloons that hurt, the youth drenched me, but it was so much fun.
Also there was another amazing thing that happened while Meadowbrook was here. I did not realize this until they got here, but the team had 3 nurses that came. While they were here, I got a call that a boy named Liam, had fallen backwards into a huge frying pan on a camp style fire. These nurses all got together and talked about what needed to be done. God used them to help save this little boy's life. One of the nurses took her tourist day and went with me to the hospital where he had just gotten admitted. We were able to jump through a lot of hoops and find out this was the best burn unit in all of Peru. We were able to talk with the doctor that would be part of his treatment plan, and we felt confident that they would be able to treat him there. If the team had not had nurses, I would have been so lost. Now little Liam after having 22 % of his body burned, is out of the hospital, doing therapy, and making an amazing comeback. This is just a reminder that God always knows what He is doing.
This was our fourth annual youth retreat. It in my opinion was the best of them all. We had 59 youth and sponsors, one pastor from the US, and 7 different cooks to pull the retreat off. The theme for this years retreat was: "The reasons why the resurrection really happened and how that impacts our lives today" Larry Reynolds did a great job sharing the historical and Biblical evidence why we can have 100% confidence to believe that the resurrection really did happen. Everyday we had a praise and worship time with a teaching time about the resurrection. After the teaching time, we split the guys and girls up to have a time of devotion, get to know each other in a deeper way, and discuss what we learned from our devotions. The youth wrote approximately 300 questions for Larry to answer about Biblical topics. Over 2 different days, he answered all of those questions Biblically. Some of the questions were very deep and the youth learned a ton.
Apart from the spiritual aspect, the theme was all about the world cup, since Peru is finally going to the world cup after 36 years of not qualifying. We had the youth divided into the same teams for the entire time: "Fifaton" vs. "Mundialon." They did cheers, had team captains, were constantly competing with group games, and individual games, sports tournaments, and more. It really brought a fun excitement to the youth retreat, especially since the majority of the youth that came are not believers, so it really helped engage them.
Members from our church cooked almost all of the meals for the youth, we split the kids into guys and girls, and approximately 25 girls slept on the floor in the mission's house and 25 boys in the ministry center. It was basically a 4 day youth camp with only two houses to do everything in. Everyone is already looking forward to the next retreat!


Here are some facts that show the Indianapolis Colts don't have a good offensive line.
>>700 or so hits on their quarterbacks.
>>Franchise player Andrew Luck missing an entire season with a shoulder injury.
So the Colts took Notre Dame's Quenton Nelson in the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday, then added another guard in Auburn's Braden Smith with their second of three second-round picks on Friday.
Colts GM Chris Ballard could be wrong, of course, but to draft another guard in Round 2 says he thinks Auburn's Braden Smith is special. Not just "a guard who can play." But special. So, we shall see.
He's blew the 2nd round and i honestly am not sure how that was possible. Massive reaches with both picks. Bot players were gonna be there in the 3rd round. This draft went bad real fast and it dont help that he's flopped in free agency. This is real bad.
Do you think fans are upset they took another guard or are they upset with the guard they took, widely rated outside the top 100 players? If they had gotten Hernandez or Daniels or Connor Williams I would be ecstatic.
In defense of those complaining, the Colts signed Matt Slauson, a guard, in free agency and re-signed Jack Mewhort, who, when healthy, has primarily played guard. But the moves haven't addressed right tackle, which would be left to Denzelle Good and Joe Haeg.
It's also possible Smith could shift to tackle.
And, of course, Luck's willingness to hold on to the ball to buy time to make big plays has certainly played an issue in the hits he takes.
Only a little more than four months until we can actually figure out if this was a mistake.


A hot tub manufacturer sold a tub with a faulty thermostat, and when it failed, a woman suffered painful and disfiguring second and third degree burns over most of her body. A heavy equipment manufacturer failed to install adequate safety mechanisms or provide sufficient user warnings. As a result, an operator of the machinery accidentally activated a lever dropping a 900 lb. piece of metal on his arm and leaving him permanently disabled.
Unfortunately, some manufacturers care more about saving money than incorporating necessary safety features into their products. We've seen situations where the failure to incorporate a simple and inexpensive safety feature into a product ends up costing permanent damage to its users. Manufacturers must be held accountable for these results, to ensure that they are sufficiently motivated to make expenditures on safety features in the first place. Our product liability attorneys stand with injured people and the families of wrongful death victims as they face the manufacturers in court.

The trailer for this ridiculous B-movie pits a hair metal band against giant killer ants
Insects, drugs and rock'n'roll!
The modern B-movie is a bit of an odd duck. While older low-budget films made do with shonky Darkplace-esque effects, things on strings, obvious model shots and non-good actors doing their best, modern ones feature a lot more smirking self-awareness and oddly charmless bad CGI. Crap digital effects lack the appealingly handmade feel of crap practical ones, and nodding to the camera as if to say "Yes, this is crap, I know" feels at best like everyone trying to have a cinematic cake and eat it.
That said, despite having a lot of the hallmarks of the more disappointing end of the modern B-movie scale – appalling fonts, stunt casting, a really inconsistent tone and cheap-looking CGI – the trailer for Dead Ant is a lot of fun. The film sees an ageing '80s hair metal band caught up in a killer ant attack during a desert peyote trip. Here's the trailer – ignore the terrible quotes at the beginning of it, especially the genuinely offensive second one:
That's… a lot of stuff going on. There are cult movie stalwarts like Michael Horse (Twin Peaks), Sean Astin (Toy Soldiers, Lord of the Rings) and Jake Busey (Starship Troopers, being Gary Busey's son so therefore a genuine oddball) alongside vaguely recognisable who's-that kind of faces (including veterans of Silicon Valley and The Walking Dead) alongside near-unknowns (although fans of Netflix's underrated Everything Sucks! will recognise Sydney Sweeney from that). Tom Arnold is certainly capable of being really funny, people being killed by big ants is inherently entertaining, and everything tends to be made better when everyone has silly hair and is wearing jackets with the sleeves removed.
Despite being shot in 2017, Dead Ant (which may or may not be a Pink Panther joke) is coming out at the end of the month on digital download. It's probably, let's be honest, not really worth it, but the trailer's a laugh.

Just a little tidying up for the last day of February. It's a lovely spring day after weeks of dreariness and freezing temperatures, or at least it seems that way. Hopefully spring is on its way. The Traveler in Black and White is now available on Smashwords for all types of eReader. It should be shipped today or tomorrow to the Apple iBookstore, Barnes & Noble, Diesel, Indigo, Sony and all other Nook and Kobo online retailers. I'll post links when it is live on their sites.
Traveler didn't have as successful a time on Amazon as Lost City did, but I haven't fully analysed it yet. Judging from other comments, the expected sales rush around Christmas didn't happen – at least not for independent ebooks, and possibly for other books as well. Another factor is that Traveler is not quite an MG read, so difficult to place, and it also features Mariusz proudly on the front cover – which makes it explicitly about a guinea pig, so may put off the person who downloads every freebie regardless! In which case, fewer downloads may be better. They may be readers rather than collectors. Let's hope so. I confess I love Hugo/Mariusz's story. It is very dear to my heart. But then the others are just as dear!
I'm very grateful to Julie Grasso for featuring her review of the Princelings of the East on her Kid Lit Blog Hop page, and also for running a giveaway. Congratulations to Rebecca and Steve, who have already received their prizes. I hope you enjoy them.
The next book, The Talent Seekers, will now be out in May. I think I'm trying to do too much at present, and the book deserves my full attention. It still needs a cover (I'm having trouble choosing) and my chapter illustrations (24 chapters instead of the usual 16!) and the latest draft is with my wonderful editor for a tidy up, but she's busy too. May is a good month for a launch – that's when I did Lost City if I remember rightly.
and also Julie Grasso's Escape from the Forbidden Planet to bring my Goodreads books read to 8 out of 30.
I finished The Time Machine but that will feature in the March Challenge list.
And of course, April is the A to Z Blog Challenge! If you haven't signed up yet, why not?


Finding the perfect basement design before transforming the lower level of your house into a home office, gym or family activity room is only one part of the basement remodeling equation. The most significant step is to take into account all these annoying technical related factors which will ensure the space will be safe, bright, joyful and water-tight.
Would you buy a house with a musty and dark basement? When you need to make decisions about home improvements in order to sell your house, think of what you would expect as a potential buyer. When the realtor opens the door to the basement, nobody would like to go down the stairs and enter the twilight zone. But anyone would be impressed by a well-lit and properly constructed basement. Basement finishing might not be a cheap project but will definitely offer a high return on your investment. And that's not the only benefit.
